Two won got into the back seat of the car and the mother of the child would not stop crying all through the short journey to the house. She was simply inconsolable no matter what anyone said.
Scarlet viewed the child through her grim reaper vision just in case she needed to reap the soul at any ti. If this little child did not make it, she would not allow their soul to wander about in agony. So far, it looked like the child was still holding on.
The child was rushed to the d bed imdiately and placed inside and twenty minutes later, the d bed was opened and a conscious little boy was taken out. His large eyes were open but he appeared to be frightened.
Scarlet could only attribute this fear to the fact that soone had probably stabbed him. What kind of animal tried to kill a child? This little boy was probably similar in age to Justin. Who had the heart to kill such an innocent soul? Were space pirates this heartless?
The mother swooped him up and in a teary voice, she asked loudly, "Eden, are you okay? How are you feeling? Does it still hurt?"
She observed his abdon carefully and touched his face and hair, her blood covered hands left red marks on every part of the little boy's body that she touched. The boy just sat there as stiff as a nail.
"I am okay." Eden mumbled.
The woman suddenly wailed louder that she had been doing in the car. These wails however were not those of a grieving mother but a relieved one. As she wailed, she embraced the child tightly and held on to him as if he would vanish from her sight at any mont.
Scarlet used this opportunity to observe the two won, one was mature and the other one was younger. They were well dressed and even though they appeared to be disheveled they still had that unique elent of having co from luxury by the way they conducted themselves. On the younger girl's arm was a bracelet terminal that was blue with crystal swirls.
She had seen it being advertised on star tube, it cost six million star coins and it was one of the latest models released by the Samcom telecommunications company. The jewelry in her hair was also glittering and beautiful. It reminded her of the many gems that bejeweled woman liked draping over her entire body.
All in all, Scarlet concluded that it was no wonder their ship was attacked. The space pirates must have known that the occupants of the ship were fat sheep.
Were they coming to the Blue star or were they diverted here after the attack.
"Excuse ," she called out to them. "Would you like sothing to drink?" After losing all that blood the boy surely had to be starving and dizzy.
The younger woman looked at the older one and the older one stood up, wiped her tears but ended up saring blood on her face.
"You probably need to wash up too." she told them.
The older woman looked at her hands and her dress, then she folded her hands and put on a respectful face.
"Greetings madam governor, I am Grace Carlzon and this is my daughter Precious Carlzon. This is my son Eden Carlzon." she pointed to the young boy.
Each of them bowed to Scarlet respectfully because she was the highest figure of authority on this planet. If she decided that they were not allowed to stay, they would be forced to look for another ho.
"Hello, uhm, it's great to et you I am Scarlet Su. I think introductions can wait for a while, you need to wash the blood off of your bodies and change your clothes. Follow , I will show you to a room."
"Thank you so much, we highly appreciate your care." Grace Carlzon responded.
She took them to the room where the maids used to sleep.
"I will bring you so clothes to change into." she told them.
She stepped out and returned with a few sun dresses. She had many of those in her storage space. She also brought a pair of shorts and shirts for the boy.
She went outside the house and t her mother supervising so workers to cut the stems of the sugarcanes. All she had ntioned was that the stems were needed to grow sugar and her mother took charge.
The workers chopping the stems were all won, they were sitting in a circle and they were gossiping about the newly arrived people.
"Apparently they were attacked by space pirates on their way here. It's a miracle that they are still alive." one woman said.
"Space pirates are so brutal, when they attack they kill everyone and take everything. Anyone that survives is sold to the Luna federation as a slave." another woman said.
"Really!!! I thought that was a rumor." another shouted.
"Less gossip, more work." ga Su shouted and they all silently resud work.
"Mother." Scarlet called. She stayed where she was and waited for her mother to co to her. "Have you heard anything else about them?" she asked as soon as her mother ca close.
"Your father said that they are requesting to move here. One of the n was a forr cha warrior and your husband is granting their request as we speak. They co from a noble house, one that lives in the capital. They are from the duke Carlzon's house, even his second wife has co. "
Scarlet raised her head up so fast that she almost twisted her neck. "A second wife!!!" she scread.
ga Su looked around and saw so of the won looking at them. Her daughter's blabbing was going to get them caught. She had just told them to stop gossiping and yet here she was gossiping.
"Lower your voice." she told Scarlet.
Scarlett nodded eagerly because she had not heard anything about second wives. Did this an Esong could also get a second wife if he wanted? She wanted to know all the ins and outs of this issue.
"Is it even legal to have a second wife?" she asked her mother.
"It's not exactly legal and it's frowned upon but there is no law that specifically condemns it. Frankly speaking second wives are more like mistresses who do not need to be hidden. It's not widely practiced though and it's forbidden in the royal family so you don't have to worry about your husband doing such a thing."
Scarlet saw the two won coming and she shushed her mother. "Here they co." she whispered.
They put on innocent faces as if they had been discussing sothing else entirely.
