The children clapped, very excited for the stories they had never heard about before. Because Mr. Rodney had announced that the live broadcast would be of her reading a story to children, it was filled mostly with parents, children and a few curious individuals.

Some unusual viewers were participating too, using their secret accounts like the emperor who always faithfully watched her live broadcasts because he was a foodie. The empress who was learning to cook for her husband, Samael Rogan who wanted to study every move of the woman he considered his arch nemesis and a general who had been up all night fighting more Draco's. No more mecha warrior lives had been lost thankfully because of his wife's knowledge.

"I will be telling you the story of a princess named Snow white, it takes place in another world, in a kingdom far, far away." Scarlet spoke softly, using hand gestures and hoping that she would come out of this sounding like a good narrator and doing the story justice. "It was in the middle of winter and the snow-flakes were falling like feathers from the sky, and a queen sat at her window working, and her...."

While she read, she captivated the attention of her little audience, Esong drifted off to sleep and the comments in the live broadcast were filled with questions.

[What is embroidery?]

[Why was the princess named snow white?]

[Is there winter in other worlds?] You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

When she reached the part of the story with the mirror on the wall, Scarlet pulled a small hand held mirror from her storage bracelet and showed it to the children.

"Looking glass upon the wall,

Who is the fairest of us all?"

"And the looking glass would answer,

You are the fairest of them all."

[So the mirror talks, ha, what a stupid story.]

[Where can I buy a hand held talking looking glass?]

[I believe I am the fairest maiden in the empire. ]

[This years star daily declared Carla Ebony the most beautiful woman in the Sun star so does this mean she is the fairest of us all?]

Meanwhile, Scarlet who was not even looking at the comments continued,

"Queen, you are full faire, 'tis true

"But you are not her." the queen said in a puzzled voice.

"I am a princess, ergo, snow white." the third princess explained as logically as she could.

"Still..." the empress wanted to voice her doubts on this flawed logic but her daughter kicked her feet childishly as if she was throwing a tantrum.

"Ah, mother..." she complained.

"Okay," the empress backed off and said, "You are snow white."

"Mother, where can I get a talking mirror?" the third princess asked the empress.

The empress shrugged and said, "Ask Markay."

"Kids, stop arguing and listen to me," Scarlet and principal Stash calmed the children down because she wanted to explain some more things. "The moral or what I want you to learn from the story is the danger of vanity and greed. True beauty comes from inside, not outside." she touched her heart to show the inside and her face to show the outside.

[So she was teaching the children a lesson through the story, I have also learned something.]

[Does everyone remember that online fight between Scarlet and Bejeweled? I remember the other woman insulted Scarlet's looks and rubbed her family's wealth in her face. Could this be related to it?]

[Do you mean bejeweled is the evil queen and Scarlet is Snow white.]

[I remember that scandal, I was an anti fan of Scarlet's back then.]

"This ends our story time here children, I will see you all here next Wednesday for another story. The physical book of snow white's fairy tale is available for sale at the purchase point of the Maddox library and on star net at blue star fairytale. com. Until next time, Scarlet out."

As she was bidding the online viewers goodbye, the children were already getting up and being organized to exit the reading room carefully. Scarlet stayed back and patiently waited for them all to leave before she carried Justin up in her arms.

"Did you have fun?" she asked him.

"Yes mummy, story time is better with my friends." he replied. Usually she read stories to him alone before bed.

"Then what story should we read next time?" she asked him. "Jack and the beanstalk, little red riding hood, sleeping beauty, Cinderella."

"Are those all stories you came up with governor?" Principal Stash who had been slowly following them asked. "Do you have physical books that I can purchase before the reading next time?"

Scarlet stopped walking and she looked around the library, then she said, "There are many books here principal, you are always welcome to find a book, get a comfortable spot and read. You will discover many hidden gems on your own."

Some of the comfortable reading spots were solo pods which gave off the effect of one reading by the side of the ocean. Others under the stars, or sitting in a sunny grassland. It was a readers paradise the Maddox library, if people fell in love with reading then she would build many more. "My husband is calling, principal, I should answer this privately." she showed her bracelet to the principal and the woman excused herself.
