Chapter 217 Scarlet is read the riot act.
Left behind, Cecily smirked as if she had won the fight and Lora was sent running off with her tail tucked between her legs.
"Don't smirk." Scarlet told her, "You have both behaved very irresponsibly and shamefully. Take a look at what you have done to my kitchen?" 𝑓𝑟𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮
The kitchen was sparkling clean, the floors and the walls which had been the final home of some ingredients were very neat. During the fight, cleaning robots had been doing there job actively, it seemed.
"Okay," Scarlet amended, "the kitchen is clean but grandma Cecily, this does not mean the evidence of the crime is gone. How could you fight her?"
"I didn't touch her." Cecily said defensively. "Not even one poke, but you on the other hand, why did you stand there and allow her to level such callous and malicious accusations against your husband? You should have defended him." she tapped one hand against the palm of the other to express how angry, offended or disappointed in Scarlet. "He is your husband!!" she said again.
But Scarlet silently watched Cecily lose her mind, shouting the word 'husband' around as if it was so precious. "What exactly was I supposed to defend him for?" she responded. "Tell me Cecily, he has been out of contact for weeks, he won't call or text his son back and he is in front of cameras holding that fish look alike princess as if she will faint at any second. Among all the things Lora said, what was is it that I was supposed to defend Esong for?"
Dammit!! she was angry and feeling humiliated, and having to talk about these issues in front of others was still something she was getting used to.
"All of you, leave us." she ordered them out of the kitchen, dining room, and the living room even though it was useless at this point because the had already witnessed everything. free(w)ebnovel
"One word of this gets out_" Cecily planted herself in front of the maids and gave them a threatening glare.
The maids looked down, at the floor and the scurried out. The guards walked out slower, portraying no fear from Cecily's attempt to intimidate us.
"You should have defended your husband in public, it's what a good wife does." Cecily went into a rant as soon as all the doors slid shut. "Whatever problems arise between a married couple especially pertaining to fidelity or their sex life should be settled between them behind closed doors. Out here, if someone says something about him, you go to war with them. You are feeling humiliated because you allowed that raging, ungrateful, angry, sour faced cow Lora to get the best of you in your own castle. I have been watching for a while and you are handling her with kid gloves as if she is the most fragile thing in the world. She speaks to you anyhow in front of your maids as if you are any other ordinary commoner. You are acting weak and stupid and enough is enough, put her down where she belongs." she yelled in a very deep voice, sounding almost slightly masculine, "Put the bitch down like the noble royal woman you are and get your house in order or I swear to every deity you believe in I will do it for you for my grandson's sake. I will not let you be his downfall and humiliation, and for your information, we have also not heard from Esong, and neither have his parents the most he has gone silent during winter is a month, but it has been total silence close to six weeks now so you are not the only one who is worried that something is wrong. Instead of walking around acting woeful and angry, try to help, use all your access to reach him, fight for your marriage, that's what a determined wife does." Cecily grabbed a few of her belongings and walked toward the door, but before leaving, she turned around and said, "Then again, you have always wanted out of the marriage ever since you got your head screwed on right. You must be hoping that he sleeps with her so that you can petition the emperor and ask for a dissolvement of the marriage. Should I congratulate you on becoming a single woman in advance?" She spat these words out of her mouth with a loud sneer o her face before finally departing.
After being read the riot act act by Cecily, Scarlet held her head in her hands briefly and sighed, wondering if indeed, she had gone wrong by letting her pride hinder something that could have been so simple.
"All you had to do was check in." Severus appeared next to her and said. It was convenient how he always did that only when they were alone, nobody else had ever seen him appear out of thin air suddenly. "Tsk, tsk, human partners are so troublesome." he commented.
Going into her bedroom with Severus and a made up mind, she closed her eyes and appeared in the capital, at the hospital where she landed once before.
Then, Severus smelled the air and blinked them to Esong's current location. He was on a ship which was flying to or returning from somewhere.
At the moment, he was appeared to be sleeping, wonderfully.
"Well, he looks fine to me." she commented. There was some disappointment in her voice because maybe, if he was injured, she would have an excuse not to be angry or disappointed.
"He is pale, his spirit is weak and his mind is clouded by small unnoticeable dots of darkness, he is not fine." Severus declared.
Suddenly, she started to worry, none of the things Severus mentioned sounded good at all. On looking closer, she realized that he was pale indeed, he was almost as pale as the moon itself.
There was a hint of a frown on his face, and he looked fitful, as if he was having a nightmare maybe.
"What is wrong with him?" she hovered over him and sent some energy to his body. Then, she opened his mouth and poured a few drops of purifying liquid down into his throat.
"Add this," Severus gave her a small vial that contained two drops of a green liquid. "A soul eater has been feeding off of his energy."
"A human soul energy feeder, I thought they were rare." She had been catching up on her grim reaper and she knew by hand all the types of soul eaters. The human soul energy feeder was a soul eater that possessed and inhabited the body of human infected with evil. They survived by feeding off the soul energy of powerful humans. As a general, a powerful one at that, Esong certainly qualified if power was what it was looking for.
"No wonder you all haven't heard from him, parts of his memory are blank and he is in a state of hypnosis and someone is controlling his actions just enough to make him seem normal and not raise suspicions. Human energy feeders do not work alone, they are the kind that seek to serve people in positions of power. Most of their victims are served up or chosen by their masters. I think it's time we search the ship, I can smell it's filthy stench already." Severus added.
Scarlet had an idea on the possible master, everything seemed to have started when princess floozy arrived.
