"My greedy one!" Annabelle's eleven year old voice says happily as her hands appear, from Fourth to Third dimension, over my eyes and I push back to knock her off me.

"Everything in this universe belongs to me while I belong to no one!" I angrily state.

"Oh Balem! You need to stop taking everything so seriously, I only meant my greedy friend." She says in a pouty way as she sits on top of my desk. She is so beautiful, not her body I've seen more gorgeous creatures but her intellect, her way of making me forget about life/death, and the way she out smarts all the adults including My Mother; All of those qualities make her desirable. Ever since she was there for my induction and embarrassment into the farming industry, I let her get away with many infractions. I should alert the guards but I'm afraid of what Mother may do to her, especially after the Nostron heir incident.

Since she will soon be dead, I ignore her statement and command "I demand an explanation of this technology and you aren't allowed to be here!"

Laughs at me while saying, "You are so adorable when you are angry!"

"ANSWER ME!" I yell.

"No" then sticks her tongue out at me and I want to slap her but she has always been too fast for me.

"Why are you here and what do you want? Just tell me so I can get back to work." I relent since she always wins like Mother.

While putting away all the sheathes in their proper place, which astonished me, she said, "Everyone else is having fun and no seventeen year old would be working if they don't have to."

"I want to work; work is life and I enjoy it." I love my work.

She chuckles, "Sure keep telling yourself that" and then in a serious tone "Do you want to eat from the tree of knowledge?"

"I'm no Adam and you are no snake." So tire of her games that I ask in an exasperating tone and almost crying "Why can't you just tell me what you want! Why won't you leave me alone to do my work in peace?"

"I want 99 hours of your precious time in exchange I will give you every planet in my inheritance except Kepler. First I want to see 1035B… or you could just show me since everything here belongs to you." She does that silly female eye blinking then grabs my hand to drag me to the front of a mirror.

Confused that our reflections are not in the mirror, I state, "you're using that technology again!"

"Stay close and keep a hold of my hand. We can get lost in this density, dimension, whatever…" as she drags me through the door that didn't open for us and I panic thinking what if Mother comes back and I'm not here?

Sensing my hesitation she tries to calm me, "Her majesty and the rest of the ladies are being entertained by an extraordinary guest that it will take days before they tire of it. You should be having fun too!"

Crossing to the laboratories and mini-refinery part of our Alcazar, I'm not paying any attention to what Annabelle is saying because Mother says to keep away from this area of the palace. I should have imploded Cerise too because Kalique copied the best part of our Alcazar. Annoying FTL technology and its side effects, sigh I have no choice but to let it run its course.

We stop in front of a door with two canine splices guarding it and requires Mother's title to open but we just go through the door as if it was a hologram. She whispers, "This is to stay between us. I have a second hyper-electromagnetic-body-tech-symbio that you may use it in an emergency."

Still holding my hand she touches the back of her neck and then puts my hand on the door that I may feel it. I panic and want to hide but she holds my hands telling me to breathe. She takes out a small case filled with a bubbly gel that I can make out the two invisible pieces where there are no bubbles. Reassuring me that no one is seeing or listening in this room, she tells me it is technology the Kepler's have been using to make their lives easier, that it is only for their family and helping the greater good. Right now she thinks that I need it more than she does and is giving me one that belongs to her. Also that I shouldn't be afraid of it because it won't show up in any scans and unless the people examining my body know what to look for and they can't feel or tell if I have it.

She doesn't give me a choice but I don't fight her because I think I trust her more than Mother and that's a dangerous feeling. Telling me is going to hurt yet it is worth it, she pulls my shirt up and shoves a piece in my belly button. I pass out. When I regain consciousness, I'm straddling her while she is smiling telling me just one more.

I'm still hurting and don't pay attention to what she is saying, "Main energy source is gained from a planet's core connected to our body's main source…" none of it makes any sense and it still doesn't. She tells me that usually a person is initiated to help the greater good, keep the balance, blah blah blah… that by attaching the last piece, to the back indentation of my head, I accept the conditions and contracts that go with it. I open my hands to receive the sphere piece. I feel it roll onto my hands and then I feel it unfurl and crawl up my arm. She tells me to relax that it, what she calls a symbio, is calculating if we, it and I, are a good match. It's so creepy the way it crawls up my neck and I brace myself for the attachment to hurt but it doesn't.

She laughs at me and tells me I won't be able to use it for at least a planetary year as it integrates into my system. I ask if this one is yours? whose are you using? She ignores my questions and goes to stare at what look like five hibernation containers. Four contain what seem extraordinary male specimens that have Titles which I see the blue hue but can't make out the numbers because of the goo and the frosted glass.

I start to think, are these the best males in the universe and Mother keeps them here? Are they my fathers? Annabelle grabs my non-titled hand and says "I need it to open one of them"

I reply, "No"

She counters, "they aren't who you think they are… they are chimeras"

"You mean splices?" I correct her.

"Yes and no. but you'll see when you let me open one. I'm going to use a copy of Her Majesty's title and she doesn't ever check her own backlogs. Your physical DNA is close enough with the Title copy I have to open it. Or we can go outside to where Her Majesty and guest are being entertained but I don't know if I have enough energy left to keep us both in between dimensions and not pass out trapping us till the next planetary energy cycle."

"You have a copy of My Mother's TITLE?!" and I thought I was already in trouble… being punished for twelve years is going to seem like nothing if Mother ever finds out. No, no, no I only have eight years left of this no contact, no social, and no entertainment punishment left. I tell her "I can't! Up to this point it has been grey areas but to knowingly use a forged Title is crossing the line."

Upset and almost crying she says, "Fine, this will be fun for me but for you it is going be agonizing and life changing. It already was but there's a big difference in seeing such actions in our heads versus seeing it in real life."

She keeps going… "I must warn you, they are not clones, they are not human beings like us but lower than harvested beings, and they have been created to be toys. I don't even know if they have souls and I rather not think about it. Her majesty is a great capitalist. You must remember that it isn't personal. It's only about profit margins and consumer demand."

"Yes, I know some beings are more equal and worth more than others." Really? I don't need a lesson in business ethics nor marketing. Why is she making such a big deal?

….

It's been a long time since I heard laughter and I never thought I could miss having attendants or servants. I hesitate again at the edge of where the grass and the patio meet. Annabelle reminds me that they can't see me nor touch me and that we are straddling dimensions but not to get to close because Lady Kepler may be able to sense us.

My heart beats fast as I hold my breath to step onto the grass. By Abrasax I'm in one piece and nothing has happened from directly disobeying My Mother. I start bawling and Annabelle says that I'm not ready that maybe in four months when they come back we could try again. No, I want to see a chimera and keep breathing the fresh air.

I run towards the voices and stop in shock and drop to my knees at what I see.

Weeping because it has my face and it's overjoyed as an Entitled lady tries to pull but she is stuck with it. I don't understand. Annabelle tries to calm me down by saying, "it only has your face, some of your scent, and it shoots blanks. As you already guessed, her majesty has an affinity for canines."

NO. It… this can't be true. And I hate myself for fainting like a weakling.

When I regain consciousness she merrily says "Use it to your advantage that the top tier Entitled ladies lust for you and who wouldn't lust after the owner of the known universe?"

I ask, "How many?"

"Spoken like a true male" she chuckles and continues, "I'm not invited to these outings. I'm supposed to be studying. Aren't I studying right now?" she giggles.

"Is that what you want from me?" I ask directly.

"Yes, I want the real one… you." She flirts by lowering herself to her knees by me and then kisses my hand as yank it from her.

"You dare to propose that, even after what happened to the Nostron heir? Does the Kepler heir have a death wish?"

She ridicules "That teen was really stupid thinking that being number two was enough and not knowing the interfamily dynamics was her down fall"

"She was eighteen and you think at eleven you are better?" I ask knowing that she is better for fooling all the adults around us.

She lies in front of me and laughs mischievously, "I'm not eleven!"

Before I could ask her true age, she grabbed and yanked my hand to stand saying, "we must go, her majesty is bored." And I don't understand why that's important till a few minutes later after Annabelle brings me back to Third and reengages the symbio just in time as the door to my office opens.

"My sun" Mother greets me. She seems to be in a contented mood. I move forward to greet her without touching just standing close by and bowing only my head. Which I know she wants but acts like she doesn't by saying, "Now… My king must not bow to anyone. No one is above you, Balem."

My Mother reviews my work as I try not to flinch because I wanted more of it to be done and ahead of schedule. I wait for her disappointment and for her to start lecturing me but she doesn't. Instead she praises my work and that I'm one month ahead.

She brings her attention back to me. "Look at me" she says. I raise my head pushing the fear down and remembering what Annabelle said to use the new information for my advantage, I look at My Mother with courage asking WHY?! In my head and in my eyes.

It is beautiful when Mother laughs at me. I don't care that she is mocking me. I only want her to be happy with me. I love you with all my being and I'm sorry Mother. I try not to cry because it's weakness in her eyes and I'm hoping she thinks it's because she is laughing at me. She barely touches my face and comes close as if she was going to kiss me like she used to before my punishment but she backs away and says "carry on" as she leaves.

I hear in the background someone gently whisper singing, "She lives in you, she lives in me. Night and the spirit of life is calling you. And the voice with the fear of a child answers. Listen. Listen. Wait there's no mountain to great… hear the words and have faith. Have faith. She lives in you, she lives in me, she watches over everything we see. In the water, in the truth, in your reflection, she lives in you." (He lives in you – Lion King 2)

It's Kira and I'm relieve that the FTL implant is back to being in my control except I feel grass on my neck which makes me involuntarily jolt up while Kira hangs on to my shirt as she falls and yanks me forward using the impulse to unexpectedly knock me on top of her. That would have hurt her if she hadn't had a cell recoding with ReGenX.

I'm glad for that FTL malfunction reminding me of the lies people tell and things they keep from me. It is time to have a talk with the demoted one and see how well she reorganized Earth's hierarchy.

Lifting myself for a moment, she slides up to face me and I ask her, "What did the company workers say?"

She laughed saying, "Not to get you angry and I did. Not to disobey you and I did. Not to tell you that and I just did. Ummm… let's see what other things, Oh, and to always call you, 'your majesty' even when you insist not to do so."

"I want you to be honest with me. I don't want any surprises." I tell her.

Anxiously answers, "I try but you cut me off by saying 'don't answer that' or 'I told you know to talk about work'"

"That's not what I mean... Don't lie to me by omission." And then I remember it-she still has the HoloBand I can access her mind. I ask her, "What do you want from me?"

I access her mind: I don't know… first I thought I want to know you and for you to like me when I thought you were an unstable arrogant narcissist regular human in need of help. But now is the same thing except you have the lives of not only this planet but others in your hand. Why must I fall in lust with you? Why not an average male? Because average people bore me, because they don't understand me either, and all they want are silly things. They can't think past sex, money, entertainment, and family. They only think of now and of intermediate goals but not long term destiny goals.

I want to know what you know, I want to see what you see, and I guess be one with you. I don't know why? This is so ridiculous. I have had guys throw themselves at me, nice stable above average guys and who deserved better than my prudish behavior but I couldn't. But with you… all rules are thrown aside and I'm afraid of myself because I would have given all of me to you on the first day we met. I love you. ARRG! No.

"I don't know" she replies.

"אהבה (ahavah) means 'I give'… I will try to receive. Nothing is free in the universe we must all pay a price now, later in life or the next."

Oy! He was paying attention. "Balem, I know there's no such thing as a free lunch. By helping you I help the greater good. I'm not doing it for good karma but because it's the right thing to do. And I enjoy… (our) the time we spend together." Whew that was close, I have to be careful when talking about time, harvests, childhood memories, genetics, friends, family, wow the list of subjects you don't want to talk about is getting longer. I want the list you have for me but I'll wait till you bring it up.

I pick her up and she wrapped herself around me. I sit on a chaise longue. Sliding her down to my lap, I tell her, "I have a present for my kira. And my team suggested flowers since that's what is expected"

She cheerfully replies, "Have you decided to stay on Earth forever…" Yes because now the universe revolves around me… what? Where did that came from. When did I become so selfish? "You're taking me with you?" Oy! What about my friends and family, I need to just keep my mouth shut.

I jokingly state "I'm going to change your name to Greedy." She sticks her tongue out at me and I grab it with my lips. Tangling my hands in her hair and holding her head as I ravage her, I almost lose my reasoning skills that I want to take her with me even if she isn't ready.

They bring my present right on time. It looks like a necklace but it's really modified HoloBand monitoring system attached to Earth's A.I. Also, I added information not available on Earth's system. I pull it from it circular box to show it to her, I say, "an Earth jewel for my little Earth jewel"

Oh just ignore the "little" part. I wonder if you like to rile me up on purpose? I don't like jewelry but this one is adorable, silver outline with a tiny half sphere little earth the size of a quarter, I wonder if it's a live feed from space? She says "Thank you" and reaches for it but I keep it out of her reach.

"I'm not done explaining" I reply and wrap it twice around her neck so that it lies right on her chest. "Keep it on your skin at all times" I compare the necklace readings with the HoloBand on her. The new one has greater detail. I remove the old one and bring her hand to swipe over the Earth and the hologram expands between us. She is delighted. I tell her that only she can see it because of the contacts she's currently wearing and that it only works near cell phone towers. Showing her how it to zoom in, zoom out, get information, and switch between the planets uploaded to it, she asks for Da'at, Cerise, and Reah.

Oh my greedy one… I don't see the harm in it, I fulfill her request and also include Kepler. She squeals, "Thank you Balem, Thank you!" and hugs me.

Tael brings forth the bouquet of Middlemist's Red Camellias as I turn her around and she fights me. "Please Balem stay…" she begs.

I chuckle, "We have all the time in the universe to spend" and bring the lion android to distract her. Pulling her off me, she cries into the lion like a child as I transfer its control to Tael. And I don't know whether I'm angry as such a display or pleased. Opening the portal to my ship, I think she's going to run to it but instead holds on to one of my legs. I shouldn't condone this behavior yet I tell her she can be my guide to Earth culture for next time. She smiles as I pry her from me to unceremoniously hand her over to Tael. Zoe hands me one of my metal collars and I put it on before going through the portal and back to reality.


I cut a lot out because it's ridiculous to have a part 4. After Beta readers & editor fix it, I will bring back the personal-space violations that are less than PG13 but I don't feel comfortable publishing that here as a T but will do so when published on AO3.

And I so want to rant on people who commit violence against children. The BIG difference: Discipline showing someone how to find solutions to problems and Punishment paying the price for having a problem.

Use time-ins instead, make sure all adults are fulfilling their needs with other adults before interacting with children, make sure all 3 big needs have been fulfill before asking a child to do anything for you. 1. security: food, shelter, feeling of well being not threats of being kicked out or killed 2. belonging to the team 3. stimulation - challenging and fulfilling tasks
