Considering that many within the Oriente Protectorate have never accepted the
loss of some worlds in Prefectures VI and VII, Baron Ryan may be hedging his
bets with his statement. In the eyes of some in the Protectorate, taking back that
which they still consider theirs would not be an attack on “the sovereign planets
of another nation.”
Eselda Fashions all the Rage in High Circles Princefield Military Academy,
Princefield, Oriente Protectorate by Damien Noche, society columnist
The partners of several prominent officers at Princefield Military Academy,
including Baroness Elizabeth Ryan, wife of Baron General Patrick Ryan,
commandant of the Academy, have been seen wearing attire designed by Eselda,
the most famous fashion designer in The Republic of the Sphere, where her
work is often seen as archetypical. She favors utilitarian functionality with
graceful lines and careful tailoring. Lana Spinner, the premier holovid actress of
The Republic, has often been seen wearing outfits designed by Eselda.
Baroness Ryan often mentions how much she enjoys the “simple elegance” of
Eselda-inspired gowns and everyday wear. But comments made by several of the
baroness’ companions suggest that there may be more to wearing Eselda’s
fashions than meets the eye.
A member of the baroness’ inner circle, who asked not to be identified, said,
“We will have to show the people of The Republic that we understand who they
are, and that we have no intention of destroying their national identity. We wish
to be liberators, not conquerors.” Another, also speaking on the condition of
anonymity, noted, “If my wife is going to be assigned to garrison duty in The
Republic, I’ll certainly want to be able to blend in with the populace.”
Concerned by the imperialistic tone of these sentiments, we asked Baron Ryan
about the rumors suggesting that the Oriente Protectorate plans to intervene in
affairs within The Republic. Ever the politician, the baron said, “I am sure that
the comments you mentioned are the results of a misunderstanding. Although the
Oriente Protectorate is concerned about the increasing anarchy within The
Republic of the Sphere, it is not an aggressor state, and it would never attack the
sovereign planets of another nation.” Reassuring words from the commander of
the most prestigious military academy in the Oriente Protectorate, although
perhaps he should pay closer attention to what his wife’s friends are saying.
Whether or not there is any legitimacy to the rumors circulating through the
upper circles here on Princefield, The Republic of the Sphere, via the
incomparable Eselda’s fashions, has already
