Chapter 267 The Unwanted Guests Are Here



Christmas was here, the day for celebrations and festivities and for Scarlet, it should have been one filled with excitement. But instead, she was standing outside the space landing port with the three ministers of the Blue star, Markay and her husband as they waited for the Xenoan ship to land on their planet.

She had barely processed the news shared by Markey when the emperor called as early as four in the morning to share the news that she would be playing host to the guests who would be coming with the empress.

So, here she was, standing miserably under an umbrella in the glaring hot sun which had returned with a hateful vengeance after winter. What made her miserable was the fact that the Xenoans were late. That, and the inappropriate way Princess Floozy was dressed. She had joined the welcoming committee which no one objected to since these were her people but the way she was dressed was causing discomfort and embarrassment.

It was hot, sure, everyone could feel the heat but that was no excuse to walk outside in a transparent dress that showed all of her body. The tiny shorts she was wearing to cover her private parts did not help much and the black pattern at the front covered her breasts but did not hide her very sharp nipples.

"She should just take off the dress and walk around naked." Fey whispered into Scarlet's ears from the back. "Is this really the way Xenoans dress?"

"Who knows?" Scarlet whispered back in an irritated voice.

Princess Floozy lifted her right hand wrist slowly as if they were boneless or exhausted and she fanned herself with a hand held fan she acquired from Blue mart. One of her servants rubbed a damp cloth against her neck and she pouted her lips and tried to look appealing.You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

"Oh, a floozy remains a floozy." Fey said, shaking her head and shooting the veiled princess a disapproving glare.

If they were not on live television because the emperor wanted the visit to be seen by all the citizens, Scarlet thought to herself that she would have ordered Tion to throw floozy in a pool of water to cool off.

The woman waved at Esong, and she smiled beneath that veil on her head.

Scarlet scowled and clenched her fists. "It's okay, this will be over soon and she will be out of our hair." Esong whispered to her.

"It better be soon because I will do something drastic Esong, I swear."

Esong heard her words and he wondered how many times he had heard his own grandmother threaten to do something 'drastic'

The Xenoan ships arrived, two of them, they looked vastly different from their own ships. They had blue and green gems or lights embedded into their large frame. They were also fast, she could liken their appearance to the blinking abilities of a reaper.

He had a big smile on his face and she wondered if he realized that he was suddenly excited for this spying game.

"Tag, you are it." Scarlet added.

He gave her a confused look, and said, "Huh."

"Nothing." she said. "They are getting off."

Scarlet was keeping an eye on all the spaceships that had arrived, including the royal spaceship on which the empress had arrived.

When she and her people alighted, Scarlet frowned immediately.

"Oh, you have got to be kidding me." she said, loudly, and with a sneer on her face. "Who released Cruella and gave her a free pass to my planet?"

All the eyes of those who were close enough to hear what she said looked in the direction of the empress, is it her? Did the governor call the empress Cruella? What did that name mean?

"I had no idea she was coming, I promise." Esong hurried to hold her hand and say.

Everyone's thoughts rearranged themselves, they all knew that the empress was coming. She could not be Cruella. They looked at the other women that were accompanying the empress, not the servants but the noble women walking closely with her but not next to her.

"Is that Madam Emory Wu?" Fey asked, loudly.

"You mean she whose name cannot be mentioned, I can't believe she is really here." Adler said.

"Stop it, all of you." Dorian tilted forward and warned his children. First of all, they were in public and no matter how much they loathed the woman, it was not proper to say all this.

Secondly, she was Esong's mother, how could they say this in front of her?

"Sorry Esong, the children sometimes say things they don't mean." he apologized.

"Oh, I am sure they mean them." A surprising voice joined the conversation, Cecily's. "Don't worry, it's not news to us or Esong that their is no love lost between you Su's and Emory. But, this is a historical moment like Scarlet likes to say, everybody should smile and wait until we are out of public to bare their claws and teeth. If this inter-planetary relationship falls through, we do not want it to be blamed on our lack of proper attitudes."
