It took a few seconds for Scarlet to process what captain Zorl was asking or accusing her of. To her understanding, someone had secretly opened a brothel on her planet without going through the proper process and she was captain Zorl's first suspect.
"What exactly are you saying to my sister captain Zorl?" Carolyn asked him with a hostile expression on her face. "Please keep in mind that she is not just the governor but the daughter of a noble house and wife of a general who is related to the emperor. Her reputation cannot afford to undergo such a slander."
"I am simply asking questions, which happens to be my job." Captain Zorl responded. "All I need is the governor's reassurance that she did not sanction the operation of an illegal brothel and the RGB will handle the issue from there."
