There's good parts and bad parts to growing up as a princess, Dalia reflects. Good parts include pretty dresses, fancy parties, the best teachers for all the interesting topics, and having a huge palace to run around in. Bad parts include having to smile at boring old politicians with bad opinions, the best teachers for all the boring topics too, needing a security escort to run around outside, and not being able to leave with her hot spacer aunt who wears the really sexy leather jacket all the time when she visits.

This last part is especially unfortunate because Leia gets to go be Senator next year but Dalia has yet to receive approval for her very mature and well-thought-out life plan of cruising the hyperlanes as captain of her own ship with a crew full of babes. And like, helping people out and running supplies and evacuating refugees and fighting gangsters and all the other stuff Auntie does. But as long as she's thinking about it in her own head she can admit it's mostly about the babes.

Woe! Woe! Agony and woe! Being a teenage princess is a rough life for sure.

"It's the ability to practice and ease your way in that makes a difference," Leia tells her, sagely. "Though I don't think you'd agree with joining the military to get practice fighting gangsters."

Dalia interrupts her dramatic sighing to make a face. "Blegh. No. Not that Mama would let me do that, either."

"You could join Intelligence instead." Which would be the branch of government Leia totally has never received any extensive training from. Really.
