"I Returned the Lost Alien Child — The Queen's Reward Left Me Speechless"

Описание: 🏛️ The ceremony hall went dead silent…
…and the Velorian Queen pointed straight at me.

I expected a medal.
🎖️ A commendation chip.
Maybe a small land grant on some frontier rock.

What I did not expect?

The Queen descended from her crystalline throne—carrying someone small, trembling… and glowing.

✨ “Sergeant Marcus Chen… you returned what we believed lost forever. Our youngest. Our hope.”

Then she said the word that made my blood go cold:

💠 “This is Keth-Ari. She will be your companion.”

My translator wasn’t broken.
My life was.

Because Keth-Ari wasn’t a pet.
Not a servant.
Not a prize.

She was a combat medic with haunted eyes…
and the kind of fear you only see in someone who’s been rejected too many times.

🫱 I asked her a question no one had ever asked her:

“What do you want?”

Her answer hit harder than any battlefield:

💔 “I want to be useful. I want to not be alone anymore.”

And somehow… I understood.

So I offered my hand.

And she took it like it was a lifeline.

—

But companionship isn’t a ceremony.
It’s nights where she flinches when you enter the room.
It’s silent meals.
It’s learning that “fixing” someone doesn’t work—
only staying does.

Then the war tested us.

🔥 Ambush on Theta-7.
🩸 I go down bleeding.
And Keth-Ari moves through gunfire like she was born inside it—
muttering insults while saving my life.

Later… Outpost Sentinel burns.

🚪 Kerani cutters scream through reinforced doors.
Thirty-three wounded can’t run.

And she tries to sacrifice herself.

I stop her.

Because she matters.

Not for what she does…
but because I choose her.

Every day.

🕊️ When the war finally ends, the Queen’s “reward” turns out to be the only thing I never earned in thirty years of service:

✅ A home.
✅ A bond.
✅ A person who looks at me like I’m not a weapon.

And when I realize what I almost refused…

😶 the Queen’s reward leaves me completely speechless.
