Chapter 105 Snakes And Ladders



In the evening, just before dinner Mega Su mentioned how bored she was and Scarlet gave her a game of snakes and ladders. Who knew that when her mother suddenly played the game outside it would attract the attention of many others and now people were looking at Scarlet with expectations in their eyes.

"Hey Carolyn, can the machines replicate the game? I have only one left and all of you are looking at me gluttonously."

"Let me see what can be done." Her sister said. She answered eagerly because she too wanted to try her hand at the game. None of them had ever seen a game like this, one that was simple to play. If Carolyn could say it out loud she would say that it was fun and silly.

"Has everyone gathered?" She asked Beord. She wanted to address the new population along with the old ones because it was expected of her as the governor.

"Yes madam governor." he replied.

"Did you have to dress up so fancily just to address the people?" Fey asked her.

"Of course she does, have you ever seen the emperor address the citizens of the empire with an ungroomed appearance?" Their father responded.

"Why does she need gloves?" Fey asked.

Scarlet smiled, very much in love with her appearance. She was dressed in a long black dress, around her neck were black pearls and on her hands were white gloves. Her hair was tied up in a perfectly bound bun and she looked extremely beautiful.You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

"Attention sister, don't I look good?" She asked Fey proudly. By the time she was finished with her speech the gloves and her look would be trending on star net.

"You look more than beautiful, aren't glad that you took after me? "her father asked and this brought smiles, guffaws and laughter to the siblings.

Mega Su hissed at her husband unhappily. "Why would you say that your daughter? Which girl wants to look like a man?" She asked him.

"Men can be beautiful too, what's wrong with my daughter looking like me? She is mine after all." Dorian answered proudly.

A loud applause followed his announced as Scarlet walked up to the stage a lot less dramatically than Esong who landed on the stage while floating down slowly. The silver wings of his armor were spread out and he was holding his broad sword in his hands.

The audience loved it, screaming loudly as if they were witnessing the descent of a God.

When his feet touched the steel floor of the stage, the wings retracted the sword was put away, he reached his right hand out, held Scarlet's and raised their united hands in the air. The women screamed so loudly that a few men had to cover their ears. What did the women find so exciting about this they wondered. It was just hand holding for crying out loud!!.

"This has you Folsom written all over it." Markay commented as he shook his head with a smile. Esong was like an entirely different man up there, so smooth and certainly dramatic.

"My PR skills are certified." Folsom said proudly. "You give the people what they want Markay, always give them something to talk about and always leave them wanting more."

Mr. Rodney was in the audience observing this and he took a picture and sent it to his higher ups. "Keep recording he told his assistant, this is still news for us."

"Good evening people of the blue star." Scarlet said into the small microphone and the audience cheered while others loudly or silently greeted her back.

"How are you all feeling tonight beautiful people?" She asked. She asked this with an additional energy as if she was a host at a concert.

More cheering ensued, especially from women.

Esong took over from there and he said "As the forever General of all the newly arrived men here that have selflessly served and sacrificed for the empire, I welcome you to the blue star. This lovely planet of ours is not yet developed and its still lacking but it will not be this way always."

A lot of hand clapping interrupted his speech and he paused.

"My wife and I are working hard to give every citizen of this planet a good home and we promise that someday you will be proud to call the blue star home. What I want from you all right now is a promise that you will work hand in hand with us. Do I have your promise?"

Chants of yes, yes, I promise and I love you were heard from the audience.

"To welcome you all, tonight we feast." Scarlet announced and the people cheered extremely excited.
