"What?" someone asked.
To Scarlet's dismay, a few chuckles went around in the room. More than one person had found her words funny. Not Esong Wu though, he neither smiled nor reacted.
She assumed that he was thinking about throttling her because of her words.
But she was dead wrong! Esong Wu was not furious at Scarlet and he never heard her words because he was smitten with her new looks. She looked extremely beautiful, modest and calm.
Esong's favorite place in the world was at the side of an ocean. It was always calm, beautiful and steady. That is what she reminded him of, the ocean. At the same time, she was bright and glowing, he could only compare her glow to one of the suns in the empire.
When did woman change so much and what prompted this change? Did she realize that her old methods of seduction would not work so she found a new way?
"No, get a grip of yourself, you can never allow this woman to come close to you."
He reminded himself that he had seen more beautiful women and aside from being the mother of his son she was not special.
He could hear the chuckles coming from around him and his cousin Markay tapped him on the back.
"You wife is very funny brother." he said.
"Yes," he responded, "Very funny."
He watched her touch her hair with her right hand and push it to the back of her ear. You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin
Such a small feminine action that she had done many times and yet today it was more captivating. The faint blush of embarrassment on her cheeks was alluring. He struggled to take his eyes away from her.
"I am so sorry, what I meant to say was that Justin would you like to meet your father?" Scarlet said.
She pushed him forward and sent him in Esong's direction. While most of their eyes moved to Justin, she squeezed herself on the sofa next to Adler.
"What did I miss?" she whispered to him?
She could just pet his body and pretend without her eyes having to meet his every few seconds.
"Severus." She called the hound.
"What?" He replied lazily.
"Come and sit with me." She said.
"Too many humans, too chatty, what is that thing you said.....out, His highness Lord Severus out." He answered.
She imagined herself rolling him up like dough and beating his ass.
"Aren't soul pets supposed to help soul cultivators? Why are you so difficult?"
"I am a hound of hell not a silly pet like a double clawed lizard."
She wanted to argue some more but the guest sitting close to Esong cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
"We are sorry for suddenly imposing ourselves on you without prior warning." He said gently.
He was an equally handsome man, tall and on the slim side. He had these pale icy blue eyes that would unnerve you if he stared at you for too long. They held an accusatory quality about them. In her mind, she recalled a zombie king who had such eyes. That zombie king wiped out thousands of humans before he was killed.
"We are always happy to welcome someone from the royal household seventh prince." Her father answered.
She looked at him again when her father called him a prince. What could royalty be doing here? Was he here to take the planet back?
"I am very glad to hear you say that Baron Su. I know that we have not met before but I have heard good things about you." The seventh prince flattered Dorian Su.
Dorian laughed nervously, "Thank you seventh prince." he replied.
Anyone in this room could easily tell this was flattery because aside from being a great family man, nothing else about Dorian Su was known. In that case, what possible good things could the seventh prince have heard.
The seventh prince replied "Please call me Markay, we are family after all."
Scarlet chortled, very loudly.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
