My Girlfriend is an Alien Princess

Princess-Turned-Prisoner

Ardonia.

A habitable desert planet in the Scorpius constellation.

It orbited around a red dwarf star, one of a triple-star system, of which this one was the largest and brightest.

It was once the capital of a powerful empire, peaceful and prosperous.

It was now ruled by a despotic conqueror, Ay-Shinn. Serving him was a vast, viciously loyal army, ready to do his bidding no matter what.

His kind was that of an almost serpentine, yet humanoid, reptilian race, whom looked anything but noble, with pale, scaly skin and a long, tail-like appendage hanging from the back of their heads.

Not too long ago Ay-Shinn led his forces to this once proud empire, threatening its ruler and people with slavery and death, unless a marriage between himself and the king's daughter was to be arranged. The teenage princess rebelled, and Ay-Shinn murdered her parents.

With hatred for the tyrannical reptilian burning bright in her heart, the Ardonian princess fled the planet, seeking a new life. She found herself in a distant planet, and made friends with some of its inhabitants, as well as some other alien races residing upon it. One might even say she had found love in one particular male of the native species.

But no sooner had the young princess arrived on this tiny, blue planet, when the past that she had desperately tried to escape from followed her to her new home. The reptilian megalomaniac was out to reclaim his prize.

And he did.

A few hours ago, Maina of Ardonia, known as Mai Suzuki by her Earth friends, had been captured by Ay-Shinn. Today she was returned to her home planet by her captors, but when she was brought out to the blinding light of the red dwarf star Maina, she could barely recognize the city she grew up in.

She saw her once noble people reduced to slaves and beggars, oppressed by the reptilian invaders who now rule this world. The flame of rage that the young princess had for Ay-Shinn was immediately refueled by the sight that now filled her view.

"You monsters!" said Maina as she struggled to get free of her bonds. "Cowards! I shall kill you all!"

Many of the Ardonian slaves looked upon the direction from which they heard the familiar voice and beheld their long lost princess, held in place by two of the serpentine humanoids as she writhed. They were visibly shocked to see the true heir to the throne returned to Ardonia and began talking amongst themselves, but they were quickly whipped back to their duties by their slavers, who used their head-tails to lash them savagely.

"You will pay for this!" said Maina as she wriggled with all her might. "I shall make you pay, Ay-Shinn!"

"You should thank me," said Ay-Shinn as he stepped out of the spacecraft just behind the princess and his soldiers. "I have brought you back a long way to see your people."

They were on top of a lofty pedestal overlooking the city of Mirgathol, Ardonia's capital. There Ay-Shinn stood almost nobly, now in his reptilian form, as if he were a king about to address the Ardonian people as they watched from below.

"Ardonians!" he spoke audibly, and the murmurs of the townspeople grew silent. "I bring you back your princess!"

At that the soldiers brought the sixteen-year-old Ardonian girl forward for her people to see. She tried with all her might to break free of the shackles that bound her and the vile creatures who held her fast. Most of her former subjects were shocked to see her chained up like a prisoner.

"But, alas," continued Ay-Shinn in his eloquent, condescending voice, "she is not here to assume command of her kingdom, but to be punished for her crimes!"
