Novel Bin Chapter 66 Severus's First Bath
She kept wondering why he appeared to be so calm when they had just agreed to be maintain a physical relationship for a period of one year. During this time, neither one of them was to maintain or entertain any kind of interest from the opposite sex.
They would also not be sharing a bed except for those times when they spent the night together.
He insisted on emphasizing that she could not take advantage of this relationship to seek for benefits from the royal family or the general public.
She insisted that he could not take advantage of it to acquire her food or any other of her resources cheaply for the mecha warriors.
She also insisted that he pay a visit to the Blue star at least six times a month not for her but to spend time with their son.
Esong\'s most important issue was that she never attempted to drug him in any way ever again. If she did he would have her thrown on the Red star.
Esong went as far as to draft an online contract which she signed and both of them stored it in their personal section of their emails. If any of them wanted to change or add something, they would negotiate and add or remove that thing from the contract.
She kept stealing glances at him as he drove and when he caught her looking at him, she would look away and stare outside the window. Suddenly she remembered the one thing she wanted to discuss with him.
"Esong, I wanted to tell you earlier that you cannot just allow anybody to migrate here randomly. I know that it\'s your right since we both own the Blue star but unlike you that comes over occasionally I live here permanently. I trust your judgement in people but even then I would still love to made aware when you give refuge to someone here."
"Noted." he told her. "For your information I accepted the these Carlzon brothers because I know the older one. He is a former mecha warrior whose mental strength regressed after he was injured in a battle. They are both good men but the Carlzon family is one that values strength over family. I am not surprised that they chose to leave, what surprises me is that they chose to move here.
The green star is more developed than this place and so is the neon star, the yellow star....."
"Oh my God, I get it." she said to him loudly. "Every other star would have been a better option compared to us, sheesh!! you don\'t have to emphasize it. But you know what all those stars don\'t have?" she looked at him proudly.
"Food." he answered.
"Me!!!" she looked at him with a horrified look on her face as she pointed at herself. "I meant me and not food you dummy, I am the secret weapon of the blue star."
"What is a dummy." he asked her.
Dorian Su saw Scarlet and Esong when they returned. From a distance, they looked happier than he had ever seen them before. Esong said something to his daughter and she laughed loudly.
"I think things might get even better for our daughter." his wife Mega that was standing next to him said this while wiping tears from her face.
He passed her a handkerchief, one of the many that his daughter had given him because his wife cried four to six times a day and he had to wipe her tears and comfort her whenever possible.
"All I want is for them to become to become a true married couple like us. Our daughter has suffered enough by carrying a big burden like that illness on her own. I think it\'s time for her to enjoy her life." Dorian said this with a wistful look on his face.
"Maybe we should pray to the Gods like those people in the stories she told us about." his wife suggested.
Scarlet had started with indoctrinating her family into the fold of faith and religion by telling them stories which praised the greatness of different Gods. Her mother was already a believer.
"We have no temple." he answered.
They watched Esong say one last thing to Scarlet and then he went in the direction of the farms.
Scarlet went into the house and she found Fey, Gregor and Halley were playing with the cats and puppies. One of the puppies was bravely climbing on top of Severus\'s body and jumping around.
She wondered if they could tell the difference between an ordinary dog like themselves and hell hound.
"Sister, the shop is out of supplies, everything has been bought out. Messages ae flooding in requesting for more supplies. Also that bejeweled is still on your case online, she is calling you a coward for not engaging her."
"We will restock the shop tomorrow and as for that bejeweled I have no desire to engage with her anymore. I am a governor with a planet to develop, there is no time for silly petty online fights and scrabbles that make no sense."
"Sister are you going to do another live broadcast today?" Fey asked.
"No, I am not in the mood to cook again but I can give Severus and all these other little pets a bath. Will you all help me?" she asked her siblings.
"Yes." they answered.
Severus lifted his head up and shook it. "I am a self cleansing dog, I don\'t need a bath." he said.
"You have mud all over your paws and body. You will have to start sleeping on the ground and not my bed if you insist on being filthy. Don\'t worry, I will give you a warm comfortable bath. You will love it."
After convincing Severus, she brought out all the combs, shampoo, and small rubber duck toys. In different basins, the animals were placed inside and Scarlet smiled at her live audience.
"Hey everyone, it\'s your favorite chef Scarlet. Today, I will not be cooking but teaching you how to give your pet a bath. I know that most of you do not have pets but someday you will because our online shop will be selling some pets occasionally. When that happens, you will need to care for your pet as if it\'s your very own child.
I will be giving Severus a bath and my siblings will be giving these little puppies and kittens their bath.
Everyone, don\'t these pets look cute?"
