To chortle in the presence of Esong Wu and the seventh prince was not just embarrassing, it was frowned upon. The leader of those who were frowning was none other than her mother.

In the battle of Scarlet vs proper decorum and social cues, the latter were losing.You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

"Sorry, Adler's elbow hit me in the ribs." she lied.

"Oh," the Seventh prince replied, pretending that he was shocked. "That explains it. For a minute I was worried that you did not consider us family."

He was speaking with a smile on his face but pale icy blue eyes were saying 'I dare you to defy me.'

"That's impossible." Mega came to her daughter's rescue. "Scarlet is Esong's wife and you are his brother so of course we are all family." She stood up and walked toward Scarlet and forced her to stand up. Then she looked at Markay and Esong and she said, "Which is why we should never allow our family to starve. We will be in the kitchen preparing dinner."

"But I am the governor." Scarlet whispered.

"And you will get us all beheaded with your little quips." her mother replied.

"We could be beheaded!!" Scarlet whispered back but her voice came out as a squeal.

"What do you think happens when you disrespect a member of the royal family in public?" her mother asked as she dragged Scarlet out of the living room by the arm.

Mega had a tight grip on her as if Scarlet could escape at any moment.

In the kitchen, she let her go and she lightly hit her back. "What is wrong with you?" she asked. "Are you trying to die?" she yelled at Scarlet.

Stubbornly, Scarlet raised her hands in a 'what did I do manner?'

"The seventh prince is known for being sweet, kind and understanding. He is also the most generous of all members of the royal house but he is also the most ruthless when you offend him.

We need the protection of the royal family and the mecha warriors so my darling daughter, whatever you do, do not alienate your husband or his cousin."

None of these things had crossed her mind before. All she considered as dangerous had been the mutated beasts. In this break down of the anger which was surrounding them her mother had not even mentioned them.

If she was right, then this planet could be destroyed before it got the chance to rise.

She made up her mind then, planting food and giving them a portion was not an issue. If they could protect this small world until it's strength rivalled that of the Sun star, she would be contented.

"It has to be a lot of money." she told her mother.

"The mecha warriors are extremely wealthy." her mother responded. "Their association has shares in half of the businesses in the empire. Most of the mines in the empire belong to them too.

Why do you think everyone's dream is to be a mecha warrior?" her mother asked.

"The glory." she replied.

"The money." her mother answered.

In Scarlet's opinion, fame went hand in hand with money. There could not be one without the other in the case of the mecha warriors.

She took the potatoes which had been peeled and placed them in water with some salt to boil.

After telling her mother that she had a storage bracelet, she could now pull items out of thin air comfortably. She took out rice, chicken, cream and other ingredients.

Her mother and Fey watched on in fascination. Scarlet felt like a magician and she started pulling out even unnecessary items like bicycles, flowers, fruits and cutlery while laughing.

"You actually have a storage bracelet." a deep male voice said.

The small wooden toy horse in her hands fell down.
