BXBX NOVEL Chapter 269 I Am Impressed, But Not That Much
"Sister," floozy beat her to it, and she said excitedly.
"Shut up." Princess Carana said sternly and ripped the veil off floozy\'s head. While she was taken back by the red bumps on her face, she had a lot of rage deep down to concentrate on the face. "You came to this empire illegally without receiving permission from our royal mother which is not only reckless and foolish but also a crime."
"Sister_"
"Shut up Keziah, I am still talking." Princess Carana shouted.
Princess floozy bowed her head and bit her lip, giving off the appearance of being terribly wronged.
"Why do you act without thing Kezzy? Look at what you were wearing in broad daylight. Are you a prostitute? Do you engage in the business of trading your flesh? Why would you dress like that when they have cameras around? What kind of image are you trying to portray? You are a princess for heaven\'s sake, a royal princess."
Princess floozy pouted and folded her arms, and then she said, "Why do you always berate me first without listening to me? It was not my intention to land on this wretched planet, Jana suggested it."
"Your maid," Princess Carana said with a sneer, "You came to a foreign planet at the behest of your maid!!!"
"My ship was also attacked by flying beasts, I had no option but to entrust myself to them."
"And what did you do wrong?" Carana asked.
"Nothing, I did nothing." Floozy shook her head.
"Then you are a bigger fool than I thought Keziah because you are not here as their guest. If you were a precious guest then you would be in the capital, being hosted by royalty as it should be because you too are royalty. But, you have been dumped on this small unimpressive planet where all your movements are curbed and watched. So, I will ask again, what did you do?"
"I am telling you sister, I did nothing." Floozy insisted. "I have some affection for their general Esong, the other governor that you have just met. I think he specifically asked for me to be brought here."
Princess Carana looked at her sister disdainfully, and she said, "You are crazier than I thought if you think that the man I just met holds any affection for you. That man is not breakable, he would never share a woman with another man. Whatever it is that you are thinking, abandon it before I abandon you here to die."
"You wouldn\'t!" floozy gasped.
"You don\'t know what I would or wouldn\'t do Keziah, so don\'t anger me anymore. Until we return home I need you to be on perfect behavior. What can you tell me about her, the governor?"
"Not much, just that she is an uppity bitch and she doesn\'t ever talk to me. If you are having any thoughts about her, you will be disappointed because she is married to the general you just met."
Princess Carana did not respond to that and she asked another question instead. "What are the security parameters like on this planet?"
"I don\'t know."
"What kind of treasures do they have?"
"I don\'t know."
"Where can we access the information on their strengths and weaknesses?"
"I don\'t know."
"Wow, Keziah, how useless can you be? You have been here for a while and you don\'t know a single thing. What exactly have yu been up to?"
"They would not let me go anywhere on my own, I don\'t even enter that governor\'s castle. When I go to sleep, they have a shoot to kill drone outside my window and two of their law enforcement officers outside my door. How can I know anything if I am immobilized?"
Princess Carana looked outside the window and lowered the sound barrier at the right moment, just as they arrived at the governor\'s castle.
Scarlet and Esong led the empress and the guests inside, to one of the empty wings. The whole time, Scarlet was ignoring Emory\'s presence as if the woman was not even here.
"Wow, I have heard about the impressive structing of your castle and seen it\'s magnificent pictures but they do not do the real thing justice. What inspired all this?"
"Our ancestors," Scarlet answered, "They lived in castles just as this. Of course it was royalty and nobles that lived in them. Not everyone can afford to maintain a castle after all, it is expensive."
"The grounds surrounding it are large, is all this land part of the castle?" the empress asked.
"Yes," Esong answered, "Construction is still ongoing, now that winter is over we can resume the job."
Scarlet looked at princess Carana who was silently walking by her side.
"What kind of buildings do you have in your have in your empire?" she asked the woman.
"Beautiful ones," she replied.
"Does my castle impress you?" she asked.
"It\'s_, lovely." she said, after thinking for a few seconds, "I am impressed, but not that much I am afraid."
"Oh," Scarlet said with a small smile. "Please elaborate on your words."
"I am not sure how to do that, perhaps it\'s because our buildings are much taller and elegant. We build with hardened crystals and glass from the depths of the mines in the ground. When one sees the buildings of Xeno, they know that they have come to a land of wealth and beauty. I see some beauty but not much wealth, your capital is more shinier that this place."
"Hmph," Fey scoffed.
"I hope someday I will be able to see it." Scarlet said.
Esong tugged her hand and pulled her to his side. In his head, he thought, where are you going?
The empress\'s ears were sharpened when the princess was talking, and she was taking in as much information as the princess offered.
All the guests stopped moving when Scarlet and Esong stopped moving. A row of maids was standing by, mixed in with them were female RGB agents who arrived in the night.
"These women will be serving you for the duration of your stay. Please feel free to call on them when you need something. If you don\'t mind, then you can freshen up and we can have a big breakfast welcoming you to our blue star."
"That sounds perfect." Princess Carana said.
As the princess and her group changed, and made themselves presentable, Scarlet sent the cats out to do reconnaissance.
