"Nothing." she laughed and replied. "I was just saying that the future is for the future to worry about. Right now, we are together and we are happy. However, you need to promise that you won’t pull this stunt again. You will tell everything, the good, bad and ugly."
"But.."
"Promise captain big baby." she insisted.
Reluctantly, he sighed and said, "I promise."
"The secrets too, you will share with what the RGB doesn’t tell the public when they release investigation details." She wiggled her eyebrows and smiled hopefully.
He poked her forehead and said, "Dream on."
Jelly pouted and rubbed the sore spot he had just poked. It didn’t even hurt that much but she exaggerated the hurt look on her face. It wasn’t the first ti she was angling for exclusive news from him. Of course, he always said no and she didn’t push but every once in a while, she liked to tease him about it.
Zorl rolled his eyes when he noticed her eyes fake sniveling.
"It didn’t hurt that much stop exaggerating."
She glared at him and asked, "How do you know? It’s not your forehead that was poked. Co here, let poke it for you and see if you enjoy it."
Jelly raised her hand, determined to give him the sa treatnt he had given her. But, he grabbed her hand before she could and she fell against his chest.
Zorl was quick to lower his head and kiss her forehead. "There, I just treated your fake sore spot."
She was the one to roll her eyes this ti round. "If your lips are a cure for pain then you should give them to so that I can sell them off for a ship load of money."
"Here." he said.
Another kiss landed on her forehead, then another and another. Not just her forehead but her cheeks too and every part of her that he could easily access.
"The ultimate private cure for my special Jelly bean." he said. "What were you asking earlier anyway about my day tomorrow? Do you want to go on a date tomorrow or stay in all day and let explore every inch of your delicious body."
He rolled her over and pressed her down on the bed. He had that look in his eyes, needy and smug. She had co to call it his ’we are about to have naked ti’ look.
"Scarlet has invited to watch and cover young lord Justin Wu’s battle tomorrow. He is moving to Bartholow’s, that school for noble boys. Their entrance exam is combat for all children, no matter the age."
Zorl was not surprised to hear that Justin was being moved. He couldn’t even begin to understand what the boy was doing at a school whose population was almost entirely commoners.
If he had been born noble, all his children would go to noble schools and receive every advantage they offered.
"That is a wise move. Less scandals, a lot safer and the knowledge is much richer. It must have been a suggestion made by the father. The female governor, has a lot of pride in her bones. Left up to her, she would leave her son at the old school to prove a point."
His words were not appreciated by Scarlet’s loyal friend Jelly that pinched him.
"Keep talking about my friend like that and you will say bye bye to naked ti." she warned him.
Zorl had many more opinions to express but he sealed his lips quickly. Naked ti was very important.
***************************
Bartholow’s academy for noble boys was the second best school in the Sun star empire. It had a long history amounting to one thousand and five years. The minds of many cha warriors had been molded inside of the walls of their different branches. Not just them but other great professions too. The school had a strict code of conduct and laws which could not be flaunted by anyone, regardless of status.
The only commoners allowed to study from there were those who proved to be exceptionally talented. A heavy purse was only but the second requirent to enter it’s sacred gates.
Bartholow’s reputation and greatness was only superseded by the royal academy for gentle scholars. The two schools could easily go head to head but the royal academy didn’t offer combat classes but nurtured mostly scientists. It was why nobody had suggested that Justin be sent there.
Stepping through the silver arched gates of the school, Scarlet actually felt like a proud parent already. The buildings were exceptional, the students in their uniforms, armors and various cloaks were a sight to behold. They moved like military n, in sync and orderly.
It was easy for one to see the difference between a school ant for nobles and one that was ant for commoners. This place was more regal, more inviting and certainly more daunting with those large silver statues of the greatest students to ever walk it’s sacred grounds.
"Look, mommy, it’s daddy." Justin tugged on her hand.
Scarlet’s eyes trailed upwards and she saw a statue of Esong in his silver armor, wings out with his weapon and a ferocious look on his face.
She pointed to it and then pointed at him. With Esong, it could easily an that he had been included because he was the cha king.
"Why are you there?" she asked him.
"Did I forget to ntion that I attended Bartholow?" Esong asked her.
Forget him, why did nobody else ntion it to her? She turned around with questioning eyes and looked at every mber of the Su family that had abandoned their plans to accompany Justin on this important day. It was not just them but the Wu’s who were on the Blue star as well.
They had co as a very large group of forty six people. Scarlet believed that the dean of the school would chase so of them away because this was ridiculous. The invitation said the child should be accompanied by his parents, not his clan.
"Why are you looking back at us? Aren’t you the expert when it cos to your husband. You used to know every little about him..."
"Shut up Elroy." she said.
As expected of her imdiate younger brother, he was born to embarrass her.
ga, the family police quickly pointed to the two of them and warned. "No arguing here, we are on sacred ground children. Do you know what I could have given to attend this school?"
"An arm and a leg." Four voices said.
The three voices belonged to Adler, Beord, Elroy and Gregor.
"What’s this?" Fey asked them. Why did they know sothing that nobody else in the family did.
ga’s laser like shooting eyes dared her sons to say anything. All of them chose to keep quiet and not share the fact that growing up, their mother encouraged them to apply to the school whenever possible. None of them had done as she desired however because they desired freedom and more relaxed school environnts compared to what Bartholow offered.
"I know what it is." a small voice belonging to Halley Su chid in.
ga glared at Gregor. If anyone had spilled the beans to Halley, it was him.
"No she doesn’t." Gregor quickly said. He put a hand over Halley’s mouth.
His move had everyone laughing because it couldn’t be more clear that he had spilled and Halley did in fact know and now he wanted to cover his tracks.
"Does anyone else think that we are making quite the spectacle of ourselves?" she asked the others.
Adler looked around and said arrogantly, "We are handso n and beautiful won, of course we are making a spectacle of ourselves."
