It is somewhat indisputable that the House of Clybh has birthed many a remarkable women, who on more than one occasion heavily overshadow the men. This was especially true during the era of the Great War, where three such illustrious imperial ladies set their mark upon history. And by virtue of being the youngest such aspirant, the Princess Lafier was of especial prominence, not least for the manner in which she came to defeat not just one, but two of the four members of the Four-Nation Alliance the Empire was at war with.
While Her Highness' victory over the PSSU was the intended outcome of the government that dispatched her and her fleet, that Princess Lafier would also lay waste to the forces of the Hania Federation, and functionally eliminate them as a spacefaring power, was in fact due to a grave miscalculation by the very authorities that sent Her Highness forth. And while contrition likely played little part in it, Her Highness' achievements were entirely genuine after all, a certain haste could still be sensed in Princess Lafier's appointment as crown princess being properly formalized instead of being on a mere provisional basis. And while Her Highness never publicly expressed any irritation at being sent off with such grossly inaccurate calculations, it would only be human of her to be piqued at the circumstances she found herself and her subordinates in, even if in the end she achieved victory in a masterful display of command.

Lafier: I think you've become too enamored with your own clever language as of late.
Jint: Oh, so you admit that it's clever?
Lafier: Fool. And you don't need to dance around my irritations like this, my sensibilities shan't be offended if you are a bit more candid.
Jint: But doesn't Your Highness have an image to maintain?
Lafier: That's Your Majesty to you.
Jint: smiles But you will always be my dear princess.
Lafier: somehow still blushing like a schoolgirl at the affectation Like I say, fool.
