Ignoring that for now, Scarlet made her way to the planned entrance and went into her private quarters.

"Is anyone inside my place Alex?" she asked. She paused her feet in the long corridor first and asked because she did not want any surprises. It would not be too surprising if she found Mega here. Her mother was famous for latching onto things and not letting go.

"No one master, just a few cats playing around." Alex replied.

She headed into her bedroom for a quick shower, changed into jeans and a short black bomber jacket then she left the bedroom.?Severus appeared just as she was making her exit from the bedroom.

"Is it time to eat?" he asked.

She side eyed her soul pet and replied, "I am not just your cook you know."

"That's what you think, I gave you my blood." He answered after snorting derisively.

"So I am paying for your blood by slaving away in the kitchen daily, this trade is not fair." She found Severus ill mannered, he did not even greet her when he appeared, and all he would ask for first thing in the morning was his food.?"At least ask me how my night was, I always ask about yours."

Severus rolled his eyes and played along however, "Good morning, how was your night? There, I am very hungry; I spent the night doing your job by sweeping up those wondering souls close to a leaking crack deep in the forest. The beasts have started heading back inside that crack but most are weakening, they are collapsing before making it inside."

They were both in the kitchen and she was pulling out the things which she was to use in cooking breakfast. But hearing him say this took her by surprise, finally, after weeks of waiting for news, something on those cracks the old deity mentioned had come up. All the spirit pets, especially the cats had been assigned this mission but they had been unfruitful.

"Did you really find a crack?" she asked him.

"Mmm," he nodded, "I think it's a gateway to another world, but it's not just leaking mutated beasts, its leaking souls too from the other world. And then there are souls from here that are also going into the crack, the whole thing is a puzzle. I did not carelessly venture inside because if it closes, I might find myself trapped in there and transported elsewhere."

It was a puzzle indeed, not a good one at that because she was already running around collecting souls which had been here for thousands of years, fresh ones and in addition, she now had lost souls that were wondering in from another world!!?It would take her years to clear up this mess unless it was stopped.

But if there were cracks in space, why had no one else detected them? Was the equipment in this interstellar world not good enough?

"Take me there." She said.

"I am hungry and tired," Severus lay down, and refused to budge. "The crack is not going anywhere for a few days, you can feed me first."

She folded her fist and threatened to hit the stubborn hell hound, even though she would not actually go through with it because of their link. If she harmed her soul pet, she would be harming herself.

"By the way, you have not been to the underworld in three days so you may not know this, the duo leaderboard games are beginning in one week, They will last for an entire week and you are partners with that frost character, this year's challenge seems to be a climbing one so you should start training your endurance. Visit Halder's shop, he will give you something for training. Even if the prizes are not as grand as the small world competitions, you should still strive for top three."

He was disseminating information left and right, helpful information despite his arrogant demeanor.

"Thank you for informing me." She told him. She had one week to train; at least, she thought it was a good thing that grim reapers who were participating seemed to be starting at the same level if everyone found out about the challenge at the same time."

"Master, Rodney and Mr. Blad are here to see you." Alex informed her.

"Let them in."

Ever since he connected to the entire house network, Alex controlled everything from devices and cooking equipment to doors easing her life greatly. Now, she could track all that happened in her castle with her terminal.

The doors slid open and Mr. Rodney and his crew made their way to her kitchen and started setting up equipment.

"Good morning governor."?Both men greeted her, one after the other and when they were finished, the other workers Mr. Rodney came with did the same.

She replied to everyone politely, with a smile on her face.

"Should we start shooting, we will be thirty minutes ahead of schedule but the people love to see you cooking. " Mr. Rodney commented.

"No, this is supposed to be Justin's breakfast, I am making him crepes." She replied.

"It looks like you are making pancakes." Blad commented. freewebnov el.com

She laughed lightly and said, "Does it?" in a playful voice. "How about I make more than enough for everyone to taste?"

"Who can turn down something cooked by the governor?" Blad licked his lips, his greedy eyes lit up at the thought of eating special food that no one knew about yet. What an honor that would be.

She had been half way through the mixing process when they arrived and she was finished. "So, what statement am I supposed to be making today Blad?"?She cooked the first crepe carefully while engaging in conversation, the television too was on but the volume had been lowered greatly.

"The few ministers met and suggested that the Christmas date be pushed to the seventh day of the first month. From all the stories you have shared and what we have seen in the movies you promoted, it's a time to be with our loved ones. The yellow star, green star and a few nobles in the capital have expressed interest in the festivities. I think it's mostly because of the economic significance of such a day. They want to push the tradition on their star planets as well. For this reason a mutual suggestion has been made that we should wait for the mecha warriors to return before celebrating."

"I have absolutely no problem with that, we will make bigger profits if all the star planets celebrate Christmas, at the moment we are the only ones selling Christmas lights, outfits, decorations and other things related to the day. Honestly I would also love to celebrate it with my husband."?It would be weird however celebrating christmas in January.

For some reason, an image of Esong dressed in nothing but black boxer briefs with red deer antlers on his head a can of whipped cream in one hand or a sweet creamy cake with cherries on top waiting for her in the bedroom appeared in her mind.

"Why is your face turning red?"?Blad asked her, in a very concerned voice.

"Nothing she denied and turned around to hide her embarrassment.

"Crazy, crazy, I have gone crazy!!" she thought to herself. Esong was the one in heat, not her.
