Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 430: Esong’s realization

"What?" she responded.

Esong looked at Tion and the driver, then he erected a sound barrier so that they could speak privately.

"Are you serious about this?" he asked her.

She gave him a serious look and nodded her head.

"One hundred percent Esong. They allowed him to come in with five other people and none of them had any proper or official document granting them access to the inner part of the castle.

They didn’t know his intentions, only his noble status. What if he came with space pirates? What if he came with deserters or soldiers from an enemy nation?"

Esong chuckled, and she glared at him.

Additionally, she slapped him lightly on the chest, injecting a bit of her supernatural strength in the slap.

"It’s not funny." she said in anger.

"Eh, you are exaggerating things a bit my dear. I mean soldiers from an enemy nation is...well..." he spoke carefully, not wanting to increase her obvious ire.

Scarlet pouted and turned her head the other way. If he was not going to take her fears seriously then of what use was it to discuss them?

Viscount Marley was unhappy with the empress and the Wu family was related to her. Esong, his siblings, parents, grandparents and Justin all had royal blood.

Something small like this could be explored by the Lunar federation and they cultivated the viscount as spy.

Esong turned her face to the right so that she could face him.

"Sorry, I am sorry Scar. You are right, he could have brought anyone in without the knowledge of the guards. There is no such thing as a small threat when it comes to our family."

She slapped his hand away and gave him the cold shoulder. But, she still had something to say and she would make sure that it was said.

"Whatever, just send them all back for training and transfer the guards from Blue city here. With them we never had any such incident."

"You are forgetting Amara Leopold." he mentioned.

Had her brother’s disturbed ex-girlfriend skipped her mind?

"She used her RGB badge to get in, it was different. Viscount Marley used his nobility to gain access to the castle. In Blue city even nobles had to wait in the lobby or get and official and approved pass from my office.

Those guards understood vigilance, these ones don’t. I don’t want to spend my nights wondering who else they let into our home as a favor when we are not looking.

Today it’s a viscount, tomorrow it’s a poisonous substance or a killer. Deal with it Esong, it’s a hole that must be covered up."

Her face was stoic, still carrying anger from her conversation with viscount Marley. Knowledge of what led to the conversation did not make things any softer.

He knew when she was truly angry and when she was playing at being angry.

The changes in her eye color which only he seemed to ever notice meant that she was was not just angry, she was outraged.

How could he make it better?

He sighed and held her hand.

She pulled away rather quickly and he sat upright. When did her anger reach this degree?

"Are you really angry with me?" he asked her.

She looked at him with a frown on her face. Her lips were sealed together in a thin line and her eyes burned rather sharply.

He felt unsettled and he reached out again, to hold her hand. This time, he held it forcefully with strength, denying her the ability to pull away from him.

"I am not letting you go, you might as well stop struggling." he said in a deep serious voice.

He sounded angry, which caused her to wonder. She was angry because he laughed at her when she shared her fears, what was he angry about?

"You are shameless." she muttered.

"And I am fine with it." he answered.

What was a short car ride felt like a very long one for both of them as they looked in different directions. She, at the window as if it was very interesting and him at his phone with an intense frown as if it contained the world’s most difficult puzzle.

What he did not do was let go of her hand even for a single second. Even when they arrived at the temple, he alighted from the car from the side as her just so that they could maintain the hand holding.

They stood next to the car, leaning against it as they waited for Justin and the others to reach.

At this point, Scarlet was not that upset anymore but she had no idea how to start a conversation. Luckily, she did not have to because Esong did so for her.

"I am sorry." he leaned down and whispered to her, "I should not have laughed."

Scarlet rolled her eyes and turned her head away from him.

"Please, hmm, I am sorry." Esong bumped her shoulder gently and coaxed her.

"Tch," she responded.

The heaviness in Esong’s stomach started to dissipate once she made that sound. The short cold war, he had a feeling was over but he had come to a realization. Her anger was so much intimidating to him than any battlefield he had ever been to.

His entire body had been in knots as he held on to her hand desperately. He had been terrified that she would never speak to him again.

The notion of that happening had almost driven him mad during the car ride. He had gripped his phone so tightly that the screen had cracked.

Exactly how much control did she have over him?

Esong looked at her and he felt the need to hold her tightly, so he did.

He dragged her in for a hug, burying her entire face within his chest and sqeezing her hard.

His heart was beating fast, like a space ship on warp mode or as if he was in a race for his very life.

As he held her like that, Esong came to the realization that he actually did love her and he was terrified, more than he had ever been in his life.

He had to let go of her because the other cars arrived and Justin came running towards them.

At the top of his voice, he kept shouting, "Mommy, daddy, mommy I am here."

Scarlet picked him up first, hugged him and kissed him all over his face.

"Hey baby boy." she greeted him in a happy voice.

"Mummy you played without me." he complained immediately.

The little one had an elephant’s memory apparently and he was still holding a grudge for being left out of yesterday’s date night with her mother.

"That’s why mummy is taking you for ice cream today." she answered.

"Yay, mommy, ice cream, ice cream, ice cream." he chanted in small chipper voice.

"We will spend the day playing in the park, mommy will take you to see baby ducks that were hatched last week." She rubbed his hair and and kissed his cheek again.

Esong stole him from her and put him back on the ground.

"You are a big boy, your mother should not be carrying you around anymore."
