Prince Markay raised his eyebrows in wonder and he laughed. How long had she been holding that question in, waiting for the moment when she could slide it in effortlessly.
"Your sister and I are dating." He told her casually. It was no secret, his family knew about the relationship and his father approved.
"I know that you are dating, what I don't know is where the relationship is going. Is there a future between you and her? If you are simply amusing yourself and toying with her feelings I am going to insist on offending you by asking you to end it, or else!!" She pointed a sharp knife at him.
Markay laughed nonchalantly, treating her words like a joke. This woman whose mental strength was just budding actually dared to threaten him. Was she overly confident or did she think Esong's backing would be enough to save her from him if she stepped over her boundaries with him. But there were a few things he had to admire about the Su's like the fact that they had each other's backs.
"You sister's are funny, one slept in a tree for three days protecting the younger one from the husband's wrath and the younger one threatens the older one's boyfriend with a wrath despite being weaker than him. And both of you do these things secretly rather than talk to each other and settle your differences amicably."
It did not take a genius to understand what the Prince was saying. But Scarlet wondered what differences he was talking about. She and Carolyn had an excellent relationship and her sister had not given her any angry looks or said any spiteful words to her in months. In fact she was going out of her way to make Scarlet's life easier and more comfortable. Was Markay trying to sow discord between them?You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin
"My sister and I have a good relationship I have no idea what you mean."
He laughed dryly and shook his head, then he leaned forward and looked at her curiously. "Are you really going to stand there and pretend you have no idea what you did that caused your sister to give up her dreams of crafting mechas to becoming a nurse? Could your past memory really be gone otherwise why else would you have approached her and asked her to become the head of the nurses knowing all too well that she had no option but to become a nurse because you copied her draft before her examinations and sold it to another girl. Your sister was accused of plagiarism and she was forced to drop out of school. You on the other hand went on to become Esong's wife and own a planet. Funny how life worked out for you but screwed her over."
"Take this cake to Mr. Rodney at the BSTV offices and this one to professor Sham at the hospital. Take that last one to Captain Zorl at the RGB offices. Tell all of them to share the cakes with the workers in their departments."
"Yes." Gertrude went with a robot butler which carried the cakes.
Left behind, Scarlet opened the wall which had a wine rack. It was hidden because it had what Scarlet called the good wine. She took one bottle, not caring about the label of what kind of alcohol it was. Then she poured a little bit in two glasses.
This whole time, Tion had been standing in the corner and everything that Markay said to her, he heard.
She held a glass in his direction and asked, "Would you like to have a drink with me Tion? Or are you disgusted by the sight of me now?"
She was not expecting a response or any action from him anyway but she asked. "What do you think about me now, am I worth your protection?"
She laughed dryly and downed that glass of wine before filling up her glass again. She was filled with a huge sense of self loathing and embarrassment. Some things, these people did not know about Scarlet. She had a clean slate, they respected her and liked her even. But now, they would look at her and whisper.
"Turn it off." She suddenly heard in her mind. It was her good partner Severus, he was currently in the underworld but he felt the turbulence in her emotions. "This is why grim reapers turn off the emotions of their host bodies. Whatever she did has nothing to do with you so turn it off before you explode. Remember that you are a vessel that is housing the green flame."
When Scarlet looked down, she noticed a few scorch marks on the counter and immediately she did her best to reign in her emotions.
"You can go home Tion, I am going to bathe and sleep. I will not be needing your services tonight." She almost said or ever but those words were swallowed in her throat as if she was forcing herself to swallow bones.
