Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 423: Restoring the peace
Chapter 423: Restoring the peace
A different group of people that were watching the live broadcast awkwardly or broodingly were Scarlet’s siblings. Because it was a weekend, most of them did not have to work, so, after the disagreement, they stuck around the table and looked at each other in aloof silence.
After what felt like eons of silence, Elroy broke it by saying something.
"I can’t believe she is smiling after calling me a play boy." Elroy mumbled.
"Ugh, jeez Elroy let it go," Adler responded.
Elroy had been whispering it for a while but they all pretended not to hear him for his sake. It was not as if Scarlet lied, Elroy had cultivated for himself a bit of a reputation as a ladies man.
"Why should I let it go? You are no more happier with her comment about your secret love affair with Arya Storm who by the way is at least what, fifty years older than you? Why are you dating a woman that is almost our mother’s age?"
Adler banged his fist on the table and Elroy squeezed his mouth shut. If this culminated in a physical fight Adler was surely going to win.
That issue had barely calmed down when Fey asked Carolyn, "You, what did Markay do?"
"It’s none of your business, why are you still dating that man?" Carolyn reiterated.
Just like Elroy, Fey too, squeezed her lips shut.
Beord stood up to leave and the others eyed him curiously.
"Oh look who is running away, heading to your secret hotel love shack are we?" Elroy asked.
"Why? Do you need me to make a yearly reservation for you? Oh wait, the rooms might not be enough to accommodate all your female companions." Beord answered sarcastically.
"At least I am not ashamed of them." Elroy mumbled.
Beord smirked and folded his arms. With a smug look on his face he asked, "Oh really, what about captain Jacks? I heard....."
"Hey!!" Elroy shouted and jumped up banging his fists on the table.
Beord chuckled and bent slightly invading Elroy’s space. "So, did I touch a nerve you didn’t want touched baby brother?"
"Enough" Adler roared.
Accompanying his roar were flying plates that smashed against the wall, startling the other siblings.
"This, this here is not what we do, it’s not the way of our family. Scarlet was right, we were wrong to confront mother as if she is a child.
We must have made her feel insignificant and stupid. For that, we must apologize soon."
The others nodded, willing or not.
"Next, I will admit it right here and now, Arya is my girlfriend and we have told no one because of personal reasons. I don’t care about her age and if any of you mentions it you will regret it."
He looked at Elroy especially when he mentioned this.
"Now, you go." he looked at Beord.
"I met a woman." Beord mumbled.
"Do you like her?" Adler asked.
Beord nodded.
Adler slapped Beord on the back and said calmly, "Alright then, bring her home soon so that mother worries less. If you want to take it slow, introduce her to me first and then the rest one by one. Your turn Carolyn."
Carolyn clenched her lips and turned her head away from them.
"You talk or I get Scarlet to talk." Adler threatened her.
Carolyn humped and crossed her arms over her chest in a defensive manner.
"It’s something to do with the third princess. I cannot just share it, she begged me to keep her secret and I promised to do that. I will ask you all to trust me and let this one go, please."
"Elroy," Adler barked.
"I don’t want to." Elroy said petulantly.
"Suit yourself." Adler told him. "Fey, do you have anything to say?"
With determined eyes and in a determined voice, Fey said, "I will not break up with Lloyd."
"So, you are dating him." Adler stated.
"Yes," Fey confirmed.
"At least she is not denying it anymore." Carolyn chimed in.
"So, are we all good, do we need to hug or shake hands?" Adler looked around as he asked the question.
"I am good,"
"I am fine,"
"Ts’ okay."
Different answers were given.
The brown cat which was sitting on the window sill closed it’s eyes and finally slept. Its job of eavesdropping was probably done for the day.
On the screen, Scarlet was holding some fruits, and introducing them to the viewers.
"These are called dates, and no, not the date you go on which occasionally ends with a kiss at night."
Ramslin puckered his lips and blew a kiss at the screen.
Scarlet rolled her eyes, and pushed him with her foot, creating a distance which she preferred between them.
"I have two types of dates here, brown ones which come Xeno and pink ones which come from Zord."
She too was new to pink dates which were the size of small oranges on earth but they were dates for sure.
"Did you know that dates can be used as a substitute for sugar? They are actually sweeter than sugar, to me anyway. You will have to purchase some and judge for yourself.
Contact your local planetary external trade ministry office for more information on where to purchase dates and any other foods or fruits imported from another planet."
That message had been given to her by the emperor to deliver to the millions of her fans.
Their empire had already imported tons of dates and other things from both planets in exchange for rice, corn, and other foods or minerals.
"I am going to teach you one of my favorite recipes ever, a date cake." she said cheerfully.
Honestly, if the Xenoans and Zordins did not have dates, she would not have planted them for three to four years. When she thought about the most common foods, they were not at the top of the list.
"So I am going to bake two date cakes at the same time, brown and pink." She specified.
"Hey Scarlet, someone here says they will reward you with thirty space ships if you and I go on a date." Ramslin butted into her narration of the baking process and giggled.
Scarlet, fed up of his antics picked up the nearest knife and pointed it at him.
"You, you seem to be in the mood for a face lift. Do you want me to cut away your mouth?"
She was so stern when asking the question that even the BSTV staff in the background worried a bit.
Ramslin sealed his lips and shook his head.
"You better say nothing for the rest of the broadcast or else," she warned.
[My poor Ram, please get him away from crazy Scarlet.]
[Does she have to hold the knife? But why does she look so cool doing it?]
[Please cut him out, the mecha king has already declared you his on star net.]
[The daily cosmopolitan has released an article already; popular live streamer threatens to mutilate nation loved actor/singer Ramslin live on air. Chef, Ramslin’s fans are coming for you.]
[I don’t care what general Esong says about you being his alone because in my mind you are mine.]
