The Soldier Was Told to Choose an Alien Girl as a Gift and He Chose the Fat One, for aReason No One

Описание: #audiobook #scifistories #alienwoman
After a victorious military campaign, Sergeant Marcus Webb stands before twenty adult Luxaran women during a ceremonial Selection of Honor—a diplomatic tradition where distinguished foreign officers choose one Luxaran to join their household as a symbol of alliance. His commanding officer's instructions were clear: choose someone from the noble families being presented, someone who reflects well on the Coalition, and don't make it complicated. Nineteen of the candidates are variations on the Luxaran aesthetic ideal—tall, slender, elegant, displaying the physical perfection their culture obsesses over. The twentieth stands at the end, partially hidden, noticeably different in build and clearly dismissed by everyone present. While other officers make predictable diplomatic choices, Marcus walks past the nobles and the scholars and points to the one being mocked—the woman society has already written off as undesirable. His reason shocks the crowd: he recognizes in her not weakness but strength built from endurance, competence developed through years of being overlooked, and dignity maintained despite constant dismissal. To him, she isn't "less"—she's the one who needed protection and respect the most. What begins as one impulsive choice made for reasons no one expected becomes a catalyst for profound cultural change, as Marcus's refusal to participate in aesthetic-based cruelty forces an entire society to confront how much talent and potential they've wasted by judging people primarily on appearance. This scifi story explores human values challenging alien vanity, showing how one person's instinct to see worth beyond appearance can restore dignity, change lives, and ultimately reshape a culture, perfect for science fiction listeners who enjoy stories about moral courage and cross-species cultural transformation.
