Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 657: Good riddance.

Much later in the evening when most of the day’s work was done, Scarlet and her guards together with some family members stayed back in wine country and enjoyed a hearty dinner together.

Not absent from this gathering around a bonfire were her parents and Justin of course who was followed by Cecily and Etienne Wu as usual.

As they ate, they discussed and watched the news covering the real time migration of Solarians from not just the Blue star but other planets of the Suns star as well. This was alongside news coverage of many ministers and nobles making their displeasure of Scarlet’s actions very loud and clear.

Some went so far as to offer and apology to the leader of Solaris and Lord Basky.

They were watching all this from an outdoor screen hologram that was supposed to be showing movies. Currently, a very red faced passionate minister was stating all the ways in which Scarlet had acted criminal.

"He is the new lord Godiver." Her father pointed out. "Nobles are like ant colonies, the fall of one leads to the rise of another."

"What’s his name?" Scarlet asked.

She asked slowly, making little noises as she sucked the bone marrow out of a chicken bone. Her actions were very much frowned upon by her mother but Scarlet acted all but blind as she ate with her hands, regardless of who was watching.

"Lord Cattaran." Elroy replied.

As silly as he was, he mimicked Scarlet’s actions as if that was the natural thing to do.

Mega threw out a small pebble which Elroy stopped with his mental strength without even batting an eye. He looked at his mother and smirked. "Come on mother, I do this for a living. I can stop it in my sleep without trying."

"Your sister is pregnant, you are not." Mega growled at him.

Ignoring whatever they were doing, Scarlet asked, "What’s his deal?"

"What is a deal?" Etienne asked.

"Mmm, like what kind of noble criminal is he. I don’t think I am familiar with him." she answered.

"Maybe we shouldn’t be using be using the word criminal." Fey suggested.

"All nobles are criminals.’ Elroy said.

This time round, many eyes turned to Elroy, and all of them disapproved. He was the son of a noble family after all and half of the people with them that night were royal house nobles.

"I meant them...not us." Elroy amended. "Like our two families are the only good nobles."

"Not all of us." Mega mumbled. She shot a sharp eye at her husband and Dorian knew that she was talking about his relatives.

Just because they were Su’s did not make them good nobles.

"You can exclude my family." Tion said.

A few heads turned in his direction but no mouth was used to defend the Carlzon’s. On the list of bad nobles, they were some of those at the top.

"Maybe the emperor should start a ranking system of sorts. Rank the nobles and then promote or demote in those ranks. It would surely teach many of them to behave.

Imagine going from Grand duke to minor duke. It would be humiliating. I know for sure that I would resign if someone demoted me from governor to assistant governor."

"That’s because you enjoy using or misusing the powers of your office. If you cannot go as wild as you want then you have no use for it." Fey told her.

"No way. I do not misuse my office. Guys, help me out here." Scarlet argued back and looked around for assistance.

Nobody came to Scarlet’s defense. In fact, everyone suddenly decided that their meal was so much more interesting than talking.

"Really guys!" she said in disbelief. She looked at some of her strongest supporters, Dorian being one. "Dad!" she exclaimed.

Dorian raised his hands, squirmed and shook his head as he shrugged. Then he pointed to the screen and said, "Look at the news sweetie. You did that."

He was talking about the long desired evacuation of the Solarians. Everyone had been hoping that they would return to their planet but not in this manner. This seemed too forceful and unfriendly.

Scarlet was about to blurt out the fact that it was the emperor’s wish when she remembered that it was meant to be a secret.

"Fine, I will be the bad guy then." she muttered.

"Sorry sweetie. I promise to support you in everything else." her father said.

"See this is why she is spoiled rotten." The third princess said loudly.

"Aren’t you supposed to be preparing for your wedding or something?" Scarlet asked her, sarcastic in her way of speaking.

Before she went away, the third princess was planning to accept the proposal from Frost or so Scarlet thought. There had been no mention of a royal wedding yet around the fire.

"It’s been pushed to the following year. My groom to be went off some kind of exploratory journey and the earliest he will be back is next year." The third princess told her.

"And she couldn’t be any happier about it." Carolyn said.

On the screen, the cameras suddenly showed Lord Basky preparing to board a spaceship at the space port. He was suddenly mobbed by drones relaying all sorts of questions from the reporters that were controlling them.

"I would hate to be that guy right now." Emmett Wu said. He looked at Scarlet and asked her, "You and your guards didn’t really beat him up. Did you?"

Everyone looked curiously at Scarlet. They had not asked her the question when they arrived because most of them were afraid to hear the answer.

Scarlet was unpredictable, like an earthquake. It just dropped in when it wanted, usually without a warning. Sometimes it was mild, and went away without causing much damage but other times, it gobbled up everything in it’s way and left unfathomable destruction.

The events of this day for example were moderate, not too damaging except maybe to her personal reputation, a few egos and political relationships. All of this could be repaired with time.

"I did not lay one finger on that chubby bastard." Scarlet replied strongly.

"No, just a foot...." Elroy said between laughs.

He was not the only one who found it funny and some of the younger ones laughed along with him.

"I wonder what would have happened if you stepped on his face." The third princess said.

Scarlet pondered on it for a moment and she laughed when she pictured Lord Basky. He would have been so furious.

"I kind of feel like I was set up. What are the odds of me stepping on a tied up Lord Basky in front of cameras?" She looked at Tion. "You must have set me up."

They still didn’t have a logical answer to why Lord Basky had been on the ground. Her guards did tie him up but it was only because he had put up a struggle when Tion ordered them to take him away.

"I don’t think he will ever return." Elroy said.

"I say good riddance." Dorian said with a smile.

Emmett Wu suddenly raised his glance and he said, "And I say thank you our governor Scarlet, for getting rid of the trash."

"Woohoo!" Scarlet responded happily. She smiled up at the moon and said softly. "It’s a good night, aaah, such a good night."
