Chapter 216 The identity of the floozy
After playing in the snow, she randomly decided to make pizzas, this was something that even she herself found to be ridiculous, the simplest food to eat, so delicious even if left overnight and she forgot all about it!!
So, she turned the music high up and got to work in the kitchen with the assistance of two of her maids. Once again, the maids wondered why no single screen was turned on on the castle tonight. In fact, Tion seemed to have gone out of his way tonight to switch off all the televisions.
Something was wrong lately with their lady, they knew, the aura of the governor was off.
"Mummy," Justin's voice came from the living room. He was obediently sitting in a chair and Cecily was feeding him warm chocolate milk with a spoon as if he was still a little baby. Here, within castle walls Justin ate up this baby treatment with happiness.
"Yes baby." She answered.
"Can I watch television?" He asked politely.
Her Justin was a polite baby, always considerate, sweet and kind. If anyone asked her about him, Scarlet always said that she won the most wonderful baby in the baby pool. She had met some children here that had unsuitable attitudes like Justin's friend little Bubu. His mother spoiled him rotten, giving him all he demanded like a little king and never chastising him. Once, in the library when the boy failed to get a Jack and the beanstalk story book because it was out of stock, he flung himself on to the ground and threw a big tantrum, then he screamed as if he was a pig being slaughtered by a local village butcher. On top of that, he pointed to another child, a little girl and said commandingly, "give me hers." For a minute there, watching the boy from a distance, it almost looked to Scarlet as if Bubu's mother was considering snatching the book from the girl and giving it to his friend. The boy was also becoming chubbier by the day from being over fed and Scarlet could see that soon, he would be overweight for his age. She was not one to tell another woman how to raise her child but somebody really needed to have a serious conversation with the woman. She did not want this kind of child around her son, call it snobbish or selfish or perhaps over reaction but Justin needed good friends to stay a good boy.
"Sure baby." She replied after taking two deep breaths.
Right on cue, Esong's face appeared first with a reporter from BSTV talking about the heroic rescue of the general of a ship from another empire, one unrelated to them called Xeno. Where they came from, there was no such thing as mutated beasts which is probably why they came to the Sun star at such a terrible time. The ship sent out a distress signal and Esong and his men went outside of the shield, confronting many mutated beasts directly before rescuing the occupants of the ship. The rescue mission was not without casualties but so far, none had been reported dead because of the apparent healing gifts of one of the ships occupants.
Aboard the ship was a Xenoan princess and her guards and maids. The princess had been sent out on a first contact mission with other planets and the Sun star was their first stop. The princess was the magical healer on the crew.
"Enough already, they have been showing that on television all day, it happened many weeks ago." Coral complained.
Justin changed the channel, looking for cartoons.
Cecily knew why, and her lips thinned. But how could she defend the uncharacteristic like actions of her grandson to her great grandson. Every time she brought him up, Scarlet's face changed from whatever it was to unhappiness. She also couldn't reach him as well, which was very unusual. She had no answers for Scarlet and Justin at this time, none at all.
Unlike everyone else that ignored the massive elephant in the room, Lora who was sitting at the edge of the dining table did not. The opinionated woman had much to say and she did not hold back.
"So you have finally seen her, now that you have, can I ask the question, seriously who is that floozy? They keep praising her for her 'beckoning' beauty as if that's a thing. They are also speaking about how special she is, enchanting and blah blah blah but all I see is how handsy she is with another woman's husband. And what's wrong with your idiot husband?"
"Miss!!" Cecily shouted at Lora, very testy at the moment.
" He is just standing there and allowing himself to be felt up by princess floozy. She looks at him with 'I want to fuck eyes.' " Lora ignored Cecily and she shouted. "Is he going to bring her in as a mistress? The tabloids are going crazy calling them a beautiful couple, they compiled a list of men worthy of floozy and he was number one. The seventh prince was mentioned too but he came out and shut that shit down immediately. What is your husband waiting for? Word of advise dear, If he will not distance himself from her, divorce him swiftly. Like I said, if I were you, I would worry more about her fucking my husband than how much training I give the children."
Scarlet scowled at Lora, very pissed off because she had the effrontery to raise this up with Justin in the room. Even though Cecily had quickly raised a sound barrier around her son that was curiously looking around and scratching his ears with a frown like a little cat, it did not mean Lora could not curb her tongue. Why did she have to bring this up in front of her son, the maids and the guards?.
"You crazy bitch!!!" Cecily shouted at Lora in a way that was so unlike her usual refined self and she tossed the flour which Scarlet was about to mix at her.
The maids were surprised, Scarlet's hands remained in the empty space where the flour had previously been and Tion carried Justin, giving him to another guard with instructions to send him to his other grandmother. It was possible that a fight would break out between the women, the air was tense and volatile at the moment.
After dusting the flour off her face, "Ha-ha," Lora laughed with a sneer, "Her highness can call someone a bitch!, huh." She gasped and looked at Cecily with eyes that obviously mocked her.
"We have been so nice to you." Cecily yelled and she threw a knife from the kitchen counter at Lora, but this time, Lora was ready for it, turning it around and adding a bottle of olive oil to the mixture, sending them Cecily's way.
A few more kitchen items and ingredients were sent hurling back and forth while the maids who had no mental strength lowered their bodies to avoid being injured.
Scarlet stayed where she was and watched them destroy many of her harmless ingredients that were the true innocent casualties of this kitchen war. If these two wanted to fight, why not take it outside.
A splat of hot Chilli sauce landed in Cecily's eyes and she shrieked 'my eyes', with rage, she run toward Lora who was laughing with milk dripping from her head so unbothered.
Cecily had a red energy stone sword in one hand and a knuckle blade in the other.
Lora too armed herself, with an energy gun no less.
"Sword versus gun bitch." She told Cecily, confrontational with that same sneer on her face.
" That's it!!" Cecily replied and she run toward Lora.
"Tion!!" Scarlet raised her voice.
"Got it." He said. From behind, he tackled Lora and carried her out of the kitchen.
