Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 705: Fey’s inner thoughts.

Scarlet, Fey and Mega were sitting in the chairs inside the dressing room in one of the guest bedrooms. Each of them was holding a sweet treat as they talked about this and that while they waited for Carolyn to exit the dressing room in what they hoped would be her final pick of a wedding dress. Since the year started, she had been loudly disappointed with every dress she tried on.

After the success of engagement, not even the empress could convince her to wear something she didn’t like and the only one whose taste she trusted was Scarlet.

"If she says this is not it then i am going to blow my head off." Fey mumbled.

She kept stirring a spoon in the medium sized glass jar of ice cream without really making an effort to lick it.

"You are even more nervous than Markay, you are just one of the bridesmaids Fey, you can relax." Scarlet told her.

"I just don’t understand why it has to be a white wedding. Why can’t we throw on our noble house garments and the royals can throw on their royal garments and we can all have the usual wedding and go home." Fey mumbled unhappily.

Scarlet looked at Fey amusedly through the side of her eye. After the royal engagement, hype for the wedding was extreme. It was going to be televised on every empire in the alliance. If they didn’t go all out, the press would surely not be merciful.

"Your sister is under more pressure than you Fey, less complaining and more helping." Their mother told Fey.

Fey sighed and her shoulders dropped. How much more help could she render? She felt like she had given this royal wedding her all.

"Just so we are all clear mother, when i get married, we are not doing all this clown work." she declared in a determined voice.

Mega hissed and looked at the closed doors leading to the dressing room. She hoped that Carolyn had not heard a word of what Fey had just said or else, there would be more stress or all of them than necessary.

Scarlet shoved Fey’s head gently. "Clown work!!, are you trying to get Carolyn to throw out the entire concept of the wedding and start from scratch? Keep in mind that we are the ones who do the dirty work."

"Dirty." Mega said unhappily.

Scarlet too received her own head shove. "What is wrong with both of you?" Mega stared at her daughters as if they had lost their minds.

Her eyes returned to Fey and she asked curiously, "What is this about you getting married? I thought you said you are marrying at the tender age of fifty."

"Tender!!" Scarlet scoffed and giggled. "I think you mean old mother. Marriage at fifty for noble women is the same as marriage at two hundred. She might as well walk down the aisle with a walking cane."

Scarlet mimicked the walking movement of an old person while her eyebrows danced and she laughed at her sister.

"I think fifty is plenty young. In fact, i think the rules of the empires should be changed and women should not marry below the age of fifty. For heavens sake, we can live up to three hundred years and scientists have made progress recently. Apparently, we could make it to five hundred with some genetic fine tuning. The legal marriage age should be one hundred. " Fey said confidently.

Their mother gasped and Scarlet looked down with a smile on her face.

"I hope that you are not going around saying those....those...." Mega pointed at Fey and she huffed. "You shouldn’t say things that will have you shunned. We are tied to the noble family now Fey. Anything we say in public is like a weapon against royalty. If one reporter gets a word of this, they will run with it and share it as if it’s the actual truth."

"Don’t worry mother i know when to shut my mouth. I wouldn’t be saying this if it wasn’t just us around." Fey told her.

The door opened and in walked their brothers, Justin and all the babies, including the quadruplets who were being carried, Junior Su and Illa who was now walking on her own.

"Mama.." Illa made a dash for Mega, calling her loudly as soon as she saw her.

The door opened again and Dorian entered with Cecily and Emory. Just as Illa had made a dash for Mega, so did Emory for the nearest baby.

Scarlet was quicker in reacting and she grabbed Emory by the waist. Elroy also moved as far away from Emory as she could, taking Freyja away.

"Do not touch my babies." Scarlet guided Emory back to where Cecily was.

Emory reacted as expected, like a firecracker that had been set off. She glared at Scarlet and said with bitterness in her voice. "What’s wrong with me carrying my grandchild? Do you think that you gave birth to the most precious babies in the universe? At the end of the day, they will be sold off to some other mighty noble family in this empire or the other to bring benefits to our great Wu house."

"Emory!!" Cecily gulped.

Scarlet closed her eyes and took a deep breath, praying for the strength not to erase Emory from existence. It wasn’t the first time Emory was spewing this nonsense. Someone needed to slap common sense back into her.

"Get out." Mega got to her feet and handed Junior to her husband so that her hands could be freed up to fight if need be.

The door leading to the massive bedroom was opened and Duke Tion who was entering with his wife Lora stopped in his feet because Emory was being shoved his way.

He stepped aside and protected his wife, giving way for Mega to push Emory out completely and then they shut the door.

"I can’t believe the guts of that woman. How dare she say that my grandbabies will be sold off? Is your Wu house engaged in the flesh trade? Why would you bring her here?" Mega complained. She looked at Cecily unhappily.

They had invited Cecily but nobody had invited Emory because they knew she would say something nasty.

"I really...." Cecily sighed and moved her hands around, gesturing at how confused she was. "She promised to be on her best behavior. I had a long talk with her last week and she promised that she would..." She gave up and just waved her hands in a defeated gesture. "I am done trying to explain her behavior and apologizing for her. I will not be bringing her to anymore family get togethers, dinners, parties, anything. I am really done with helping Emory. I am just as offended as everyone. These are my greatgrandchildren, how can she say something horrible like this?"

Scarlet wondered what Cecily expected. Had they learned nothing at all when it came to Emory? She was who she was and unless divine intervention occurred, she was not likely to change.

"Are you sure that she is not suffering from the darkness?" Adler asked Cecily. "There is a cure now. There must be a way to alter her behavior."

The doors of the dressing room were opened from the inside and two royal maids stepped out. They stood on opposite sides of the closet doors meaning that Carolyn was ready to come out.

"Shush, she is coming out." Mega told everyone.
