They Told Me to Make a Choice… So I Chose the Most Beautiful and Bravest Alien Woman as My Wife

#audiobook #scifistories #alienwoman
Commander Erik Hale stands in the Valkeran Imperial Palace after six months of brutal combat, participating in an ancient ceremony where he must choose a bond-partner from twelve volunteer warriors. His advisors briefed him extensively—choose based on political advantage, family connections, strategic benefit. Eleven volunteers represent obvious diplomatic choices with useful alliances. The twelfth is Syra'van, First Blade of the Empire—the most decorated warrior in generations, the legendary commander who held the Crimson Front for two months against impossible odds. She's also the most beautiful woman Erik has ever seen. But she's not meant to be chosen—she's the untouchable legend people revere from distance but never approach, included only because honor demands it. When Erik points directly at her without hesitation, the court falls into shocked silence. He chose the most intimidating option, the living legend everyone fears and respects but no one dares approach. His reason shocks them further: he saw not just legendary warrior, but the most beautiful and bravest person in the room—someone who deserved to be chosen as herself, not just revered as symbol. This story explores human decisiveness and fearless admiration, showing how true choice made without calculation can bridge the gap between myth and reality, and how the most powerful thing you can do is choose the person everyone else is too intimidated to approach.
