Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife

Chapter 215 Who Is The Floozy?





"I was in the library, I will go and take a look now." she replied. But when she hung up, she did not bother to check the star net or any television for any news on Esong. 

It was disappointing that he had not called or returned any of her calls. One could argue that he was busy because of winter but he could have replied to her texts, he had not even texted Justin too. More than her own disappointment, she hated seeing Justin's even more. 

He did not ask or talk about his father with her but she could see it, his little heart was breaking. However angry she was, she knew that time had come for her to set aside her pride and check in on Esong. 

She went looking for her son, and she found him with Lora storm and her daughter. Lora had taken it upon herself to become Justin's new combat teacher and whatever skills the woman had, she did not shy away from teaching him.

She was also close to Carolyn because she was ten times a better craftsman than Carolyn was and her sister was treating the woman like a teacher and an idol.

All the members of the Su family treated Lora and Arya like members of their own family. Adler more so, he seemed to be little bit too interested in Arya, especially now that her face and body had healed, revealing the great beauty she was.

 Scarlet and Lora on the other hand had a relationship like that of ice and fire because on learning that Maddox was Scarlet's teacher, Lora acted as if she was Scarlet's second teacher. She spoke to her as one would a subordinate, always attempted to send her on errands and made no efforts to hide her disdain for Scarlet's 'piteous' D level mental strength.

"Hello Lora." Scarlet greeted her in a cool manner, on finding her teaching the children an air slicing move with a an energy sword.

Returning an even colder look and in a similarly cold voice, Lora said, "Scarlet."

"I am here for my son." Scarlet said.

"He is training." Lora gave her a look that dismissed her and said to the children, "Again."

"He has been training for an hour Lora, he needs a break." Scarlet insisted and she tugged on Justin's hand. "They both do." she indicated at Arya as well. 

The girl was young when they were attacked and she had been sleeping for many years. She aged in that pod, missing out on many years of her life. 

"What she needs is to learn how to fight, when the enemy..." Lora was speaking sternly, waves of energy were being emitted from the energy sword in her hands. 

It seemed as if she would use it to slice Scarlet into hundreds of little pieces at that very moment.

"She is a child." Scarlet interfered in Lora's rant. All the girl did was train, rest and train, then sleep and train more. She was not a machine for crying out loud.

"She is precisely one hundred six years old, in my books the time for childhood has come and gone." Lora replied. 

Arya for all her skills and talents seemed to have no backbone and when her mother spoke fiercely, the girl always shriveled and wilted like a sick plant.

"I am taking her with me, we are going to build snowmen, you can join us if you want. One hour of relaxation will not kill you Lora, your brother would not have wanted Arya to be caught up in bitterness and anger." Scarlet would not have it, and she dragged both Justin and Arya out of the castle confident that Lora would not attack her. 

 "I would worry more about that floozy around your husband than my daughter." Lora still yelled this as Scarlet was leaving, intending to have the last word. 

"Shut up." Tion responded to Lora. The least this woman could do was respect the governor that had saved her life and yet she acted as if she was owed something when it came to Scarlet. In his opinion, she was filled with rage and looking for an outlet so she settled on Scarlet being her verbal punching bag. 

The governor had asked him to give the issue breadth and ignore it but he could not take it anymore. As soon as winter ended he would suggest that she be shipped off to the capital or anywhere that was not here.

Gritting her teeth, Scarlet continued walking, until she reached the front gates of the castle, only then, did she let go of the hands of the two people she was pulling. 

"Are you okay?" she asked Arya. 

The girl nodded and blushed profusely, seemingly far younger than Scarlet. "My mother was not always like this, she used to be different."

"I know dear." Scarlet replied. "If what happened to your family happened to mine, I would be even worse than she is. I would raise hell and rain a storm of pain on those who caused me that much loss but I would not expect Justin to follow me into that kind of madness. Your mother might mean well but you deserve a life outside of a sword and a gun, look at your hands." 

They both looked at her hands which had blisters and calluses, some were newer than others, the proof of the hardship she was enduring. At this age, her hands should have been smooth and fair, not rough like those of a mecha warrior or an ordinary soldier.

Scarlet touched the Arya's face gently, pinching her small cute nose which was slightly pink due to the cold. "Why won't you get a cream from the hospital, the ones which seal up wounds immediately." 

"What's the use, they will be back again the next day?" Arya answered with a small sigh. "I am okay with some of the training, I might have been a child back then but I remember everything that happened to my family. This vengeance is not my mother's alone, I carry it too." 

Scarlet nodded, it was not her business at the end of the day. She would step in whenever possible however, blindly watching Arya lose herself to her mother's anger was not something she could stand. 

"Tomorrow then, you can train but today, let's just build snowmen." 

Justin had been quiet while she spoke to Arya, holding on to her right leg with both of his small hands. 

"Are you ready baby?" she asked him. 

He nodded, having seen a snowman in a movie before, he was ready to build a real one. 

Scarlet rolled a big ball of snow and asked Justin and Arya to copy her actions. She also invited her personal guards and the activity eventually turned into a snow ball fight. But at the end of the hour, they had twelve snowmen lined up on opposite sides of the path leading to the castle. 

Some were short, some were perfectly round, others were fat, while a few were crooked. But to Scarlet, it was perfect, all that was missing were some lights and she would set the Christmas mood.
