Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 666: Scarlet finally cries.

As expected her words created an uproar among the noble ministers that were at the ceremony. Many curious eyes immediately stabbed the duke Carlzon. This was his son after all, the son he had disinherited. It was also the same son that had just divorced his wife. Not even a year had passed and he had successfully hooked a new duchess.

"Did you know about this?" Those who were closest to the duke Carlzon asked him.

"That’s your son, right?" others asked.

"What kind of lucky shit did Tion Carlzon step in?" One of the ministers asked.

"Silence, please maintain order and silence." The speaker of the Sun star house of ministers ordered in a booming voice.

One of the royal guards even blew the royal horn, that forced everyone to seal their lips. Talking out of turn after it was blown was a crime.

The empress waited until all was so silent that one could hear a pin if it was dropped on the floor to talk. Her piercing gaze drove daggers into Lora’s body as she addressed the woman that dared to defy her.

"You would take a newly divorced, disowned father of two children over the man that I your empress think is a better match for you."

Lora lowered her head and said, "I am simply following the wishes of my heart. I am a widow with an adult daughter your highness, my conditions are not that different from his. I believe that I am quite well suited with Tion."

The empress leaned forward, her cold gaze caused quite a few ministers to look away. Surprisingly, Lora did not flinch in the slightest.

"Very well then, I will not force my choice onto you even though I disapprove of yours. However if you are trying to fool me in order to get out of the betrothal I had bequeathed you and I catch you in the lie then I will not be merciful." The empress warned.

"You can take my life your highness." Lora replied in a steely voice.

The empress smiled slyly and she said, "In that case, I hope to see you wed within the month. The first noble wedding in a winter free of mutated beasts. How befitting it be that the wedding will be for a mecha warrior, a member of the thunder death army, that has sacrificed much for us all.

We all love a romance story with a happy ending Lady Lora Storm Varakas. Allow me to be the first to congratulate you on your upcoming nuptials. The emperor and I will even grace your ceremony with our presence."

Lora lowered her head again and replied, "Thank you for your favor your majesty’s."

"You can go now, Lady Lora." The empress said.

As Lora returned to her seat, the whispers did not stop.

"She is a woman with balls. No wonder she decided to become a mecha warrior."

"That Tion is surely a lucky bastard. He is going to be a duke at the end of the day."

"Hey, duke Carlzon is now on equal standing with his son. Who could have seen that coming?" ƒreewebɳovel.com

"I don’t know if the ex-wife screwed up or not. Does this count as as a loss for her?"

"The empress is pissed, look at her cold eyes. I think the new duchess Varakas has made herself an enemy All she had to was yes to the betrothal."

"Tion Carlzon has nothing to his name now. He will not be adding any strength to the reestablished house of Varakas. How could she be so arrogant and foolish to make a choice like him over Lord Gibson?"

On the Blue star, Scarlet too had a few opinions of her own but, somehow, they all seemed to dry up as she looked at her guard. All she could see when she looked at him was the broken Tion who was preparing for death when she had just met him. His mental strength had regressed, he was almost broke and definitely homeless.

He had come so far now, and he was apparently a duke in-waiting. So much had changed for him since then.

"My lady, you sent for me." he said. He had been standing before Scarlet for two minutes or so and she was saying nothing.

"Are you leaving me?" Scarlet asked him. "You have just watched your...Lora’s title handover. You heard what the empress said. She wants to see a wedding in a month’s time. I guess congratulations are in order. Tell me what gift tou want and I will give it to you."

Tion raised his hand and scratched the back of his head . Reluctantly, he said, "Governor..."

Scarlet held her hand up and shook her head. ’I don’t want to hear it, no I am not ready to hear it." She said, in a cracked voice.

Out of nowhere, hot tears spilled out of her eyes and she wiped them away furiously.

"Hey." Adler quickly came to her and he started wiping the tears away with his hands. "What’s this? You are crying! Why are you crying?"

The more he wiped the tears, the more they fell even more quickly.

Adler figured that their mother would probably know how handle the situation better. She knew about sudden fits of emotional crying more than anyone. He decided to call her for advice.

Tion was also surprised to see her crying. He couldn’t understand why she would cry over his potential departure. "Governor..., err...governor. I am not leaving." he said nervously.

He thought that she would stop crying but suddenly she started wailing even more, louder and more desperately. Tion looked at Adler for help. This was his department, comforting his sister in such times. Instead, he was on phone.

So, he turned back to Scarlet and held his hands out defensively. "Really, stop crying. I am not leaving, I am not going to give up my position as your personal guard.

Lora and I have discussed this. If we ever got married, we would both choose to keep our jobs. I will not stop her from being a mecha warrior and she will not ask me to resign from my job."

Still crying, Scarlet looked at him curiously and she asked in a small voice, "Really?"

"Really." he assured her.

He had a box of dry tissues in his storage bracelet and he handed it to her.

"My lady blow your nose and wipe your eyes."

Scarlet accepted the tissues and wiped her eyes, sniveling and fighting the onset of hiccups. She felt hot suddenly and felt like she needed to take a bath. She could also feel another emotional outburst just hovering on the surface.

Three months, she had held in her emotions for three months but they couldn’t be held back anymore.

"I...I...need.." a hiccup stopped her. "Bathroom." she said after.

Tion alerted Gertrude and helped her up from the rocking chair. Adler came over and supported her on the other side.

Once she got to her feet, she retrieved both of her hands from them.

"I will go alone." She croaked out.

She walked out of the living room as quickly as she could because she didn’t want them to see her breakdown again. The tears, were already falling from her eyes again.
