Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 400: An unexpected invitation

"Fey, what is this?" With agitation in her voice, so early in the morning after a night of collecting souls in an elderly home and different hospitals, scarlet who was hoping to get a foot rub paused her plans for a second. On a visible hologram that was projected from her terminal, she showed the unexpected email to her sister.

"It’s an email from the emperor. What is it that you do not understand about this my oh so lovely sister?" Fey replied with a sneaky smile on her face.

Scarlet picked up a slipper from the floor using kinesis and threw it at Fey. Fey dodged it and it was caught by Tion who placed it down gently.

"Don’t get cheeky with me, you have already responded to this email accepting an invitation for me from the emperor. It says here that I must join a delegation which is going to planet Zord for an alliance meeting between us, the Xenoans and the Zordins. I did not agree to this, I do not want to travel anywhere." Scarlet complained as she rubbed her stomach gently in a circular motion.

Fey’s eyes did not move from Scarlet’s stomach and her hand. This act of her sister she had seen their mother do many times through her pregnancies. With suspicion in her voice, Fey told her, "You have been doing that a lot lately."

"What?" Scarlet asked absentmindedly, hand still on stomach.

"Rubbing your stomach, touching it, you will not let us hug you and when you do you stick your ass out and don’t want us bumping into your stomach. You do not climb the wall anymore; you stopped riding bikes or motorcycles. You even rejected an invitation to go gliding in London. What is going on with you?"

"What are you, my stalker?" Scarlet responded with dry humor and a sarcastic laugh.

"No, I am your worried sister. I came to see you yesterday evening in your sun room and I heard you crying. What’s the matter here sis, where is your pain coming from? Is something going on? Is it your husband, doesn’t he want the baby?" Fey approached her, coming closer with each question that she asked and sitting down on the rug next to Scarlet.

Scarlet placed her feet on Fey’s laps eagerly and whined, "My feet hurt."

"You are avoiding my questions." Fey told her.

"That’s because you have asked like a bajillion questions." Scarlet replied.

Fey snorted and shook her head. "Bajillion is not a word and I can count the number of questions I have asked you. They are four questions and all come down to one big one, what is going on? You can tell me if you are pregnant I promise to tell nobody. I am good at keeping secrets, I won’t say a word."

Scarlet smiled slyly at Fey, bent down and placed her hand on her younger sister’s cheek.

"Yes, you are really good at keeping secrets my little Fey, aren’t you?" She asked in a manner intended to lead the other on.

Over time, Fey had learned to read some cues from her sister. She knew when Scarlet was fishing for information, when she was hiding something and when she was irked secretly but holding in her anger. Right now she was on a fishing trip, hoping to trick her.

"Let’s forget it and just work." She said.

"No." Scarlet yelped and forced Fey to sit back down with her mental strength.

Disbelieving, Fey looked at Scarlet and her eyes widened, completely filled with shock at the other’s mental strength being able to overwhelm her.

"Yeah, I have C level mental strength right now and it keeps increasing. I reckon that I will be at S before the year ends." Scarlet told her with a delightful giggle.

This was another secret of hers that she had not shared with any of her family yet, not even Esong. There were some people like Tion who knew of course since he spent the largest part of his day with her and she was using her mental strength more and more lately.

"I am a B level, how are you stronger than me?" Fey asked.

"I am special, don’t worry sis, not even Tion can beat me anymore and he is also at B." Scarlet giggled again.

In her mind, she thought, Oh you have no idea just how special I am.

"Let’s go back to what we were discussing previously, your secret that is not so secret. When did you intend to share the news that Lloyd Vangar is here on the Blue star and you have met up with him twice. You went to Mary’s diner, and then you went to the bar. You two were seen getting cozy and looking intimate. Yesterday, you and he took one of those romantic sightseeing balloon trips. Have you made up your mind about this Fey? Is he the one?"

Fey’s face turned red and she looked away from Scarlet.

"Sister can we not discuss this." She said in a small voice.

Scarlet gripped Fey’s jaw gently and turned her face around to meet her gaze. "As your elder sister I will be doing you a big disservice if we do not discuss this even once."

She had not raised the topic when Esong told her to, but now, she felt the urge to do so because the situation was becoming serious.

"I will not stop you; if you want to date him go ahead and please take your time. But I should warn you in advance that you are going to experience some hurdles in the relationship. And the more serious it gets, the more you and mother will argue.

What I will advise you to do is tell Lloyd that he should move here permanently. Our parents will feel better if you live closer to home, it doesn’t have to be this city. You can live in any other city just as long as you are here. Originally I was going to suggest that you ask him to marry into our family as it is done in some noble families.

But businessmen tend to be proud people, asking him to give up his family name and become a Su could be considered demeaning by him. I wouldn’t want any of my brothers doing it as well so I can’t tell you to ask him to do that same thing. The only compromise I see here is him moving to the Blue star.

However this is for when your relationship gets serious and he has intentions to make an honest woman out of you. Anything other than that is a no from me, I will not support it.

But like I said, no pressure, date him and take your time. You are still young, only what twenty four years old, you are practically a baby.

I feel like Lloyd is robbing the cradle."

Fey laughed and she slapped Scarlet’s thigh lightly.

"Seriously, how old is he? You only stopped breast feeding yesterday." Scarlet went on. She even added suckling sounds and put a thumb in her mouth, mimicking their sister Illa.

Fey laughed louder, completely taken in by Scarlet’s exaggerated words and actions that she fell to the floor.

Scarlet did not stop there; she made crying and fussy baby sounds, which put Fey in stitches. It made the conversation they had just had less tense. She had successfully accomplished what Esong advised her to do without putting a dent in a relationship with her sister.
