久久综合激激的五月天

Scarlet on her end was dissatisfied more because she could not pop in to check on him while everyone was keeping an eye on her as if she was such a fragile little thing that would shatter at any minute. Her mother even reached the extent of walking her to the bathroom, denying her privacy.

Severus shook his head and took things into his own hands, he popped in and returned to tell Scarlet that her human husband was fine before he helped himself to the abandoned pizza and the fresh one which Scarlet took out of the oven.

"We should have heard something by now." Mega who couldn\'t take it anymore said, in a slightly high voice. "This is torture, how can they make the families wait for this long?"

"It\'s standard procedure." Etienne Wu said, until they clear everything up and come up with one mutually agreed upon story that will cause worry to the public, we will not know a single thing."

Chi Lian sighed and Beord grumbled, mumbling something nobody heard but it held hints of frustration.

"Are you okay?" Carolyn whispered from behind Scarlet. "Do you want some tea?" This was the sixth time she was being offered tea. What exactly was the tea going to do, soothe her feelings or provide the answers they all sought?

"I am okay." She replied. "Check on Justin."

Glad to have something to do other than stand around and pace nervously, Carolyn left the living room.

"He is going to be fine." Cecily mumbled.

She looked at the pale faced woman and squeezed her hand, "He is fine," Scarlet said in a reassuring voice.

The television was on and the story, despite having no updates was running and re-running as some even spun it to be worse than it really was.

One anchor claimed to have it on good authority that the mecha king had been seen bleeding profusely from an injury and Cecily wilted.

Scarlet\'s terminal vibrated for the tenth or twentieth time, she had lost count of the number of people calling her to extend their sympathies, share their reassurance or ask her to address the citizens of the blue star because they were worried, he was after all their other governor.

She ignored it, as she had been doing all night.

"We are going to a live press briefing being given by the mecha king himself." The anchor for star empire television, the national television said and all eyes in the castle living room turned to the screen. It was not just here but everyone that was awake anywhere in the empire turned up the volume.

Esong, appeared on the screen, physically he was not injured. He was clean, there were no smears or traces of blood on his mecha warrior uniform. All Scarlet could deduce from his appearance was that he was quite exhausted.

"I told you that he would be okay." Etienne told Cecily.

"I know," she grabbed his hand, still, holding on to Scarlet\'s other hand.

Scarlet received more than a few pats on the back, and "All is well, or everything is going to be alright. " whispers.

Esong\'s address started, "At approximately thirty six minutes past seven o\'clock this evening, while on a journey back from Zealand district, my spaceship the dazzling star encountered a few flying mutated beasts and during the battle which ensued damage was done to the thrusters of the ship. Even though we landed somewhat successfully at the base, unfortunately, we lost one person during the attack. Thankfully, everyone else was able to receive urgent medical care and they are fine.

I would like to send the heartfelt sincerity and gratefulness of all crew members for the well wishes you have all sent on the official star page of the mecha warriors association." He sounded so mechanical, as if he was reading this directly from a written press briefing handed to him by a public relations manager, which indeed it was.

Scarlet yawned, and blinked five times continuously, she was sleepy and exhausted, it had been a long night. There was nothing else to see at the moment.

"I would like to address something personal right now and clear up a few misunderstandings." Esong said.

"Eh," she turned her eyes which were looking around for the nearest escape point to to the television. That did not sound like part of the statement officially handed to him.

"Over the past few weeks articles, comparisons, malicious rumors and all sorts of nonsense have been spread by the media and on star net about the supposed relationship between myself and the Xenoan princess. I would like to begin by strongly denying any inappropriate involvement of any sort with the princess. I Esong Wu, I am a married man with a wife and child who I would never dishonor by engaging in such behavior. It has been my duty to show the princess around and determine her intentions of coming to our Sun star empire. All of my observations have been shared with the emperor and ministers in charge of foreign affairs, internal and external security. All those media\'s and individuals that dared to spread such nonsense will be hearing from my legal team before the night ends, I will be suing them all for slandering of my character and that of my wife. I would like to apologize to my wife, my son and my family for not coming out earlier and addressing the rumors head on and I hope that such an incident will never happen again. Thank you all, may the empire live long." He saluted and walked off the stage after giving the camera one last cold look.

"Ho!" Mega Su covered her mouth and laughed.

Fey squealed and lightly slapped Scarlet\'s back continuously. "I knew it, I knew it, all those rumors were false."

"I don\'t think he was supposed to explain what he was doing." Etienne looked at Scarlet and then at his wife.

"Who cares, he has explained his actions to the entire world, now we know he was spying." Cecily smiled, "he did not dishonor his family. I would have strangled that floozy myself if he dared to bring her in." Now, she was in perfect agreement with Lora, calling the princess a floozy comfortably. "Did you hear that dear, Esong did not wrong you in any way." 

Scarlet resisted the urge to smile fully and she just nodded and said, "Yes grandma Cecily, I heard everything he said." 

"You should forgive him, hmm." Cecily continued as she patted Scarlet\'s hand. "The two of you must have a lot of things to discuss, why don\'t you go in and give him a call." Cecily stood up, and took Scarlet by the hand, leading her to her bedroom door. "Go on, give him a call dear."
