Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 654: Hot and crazy

"What have you done now?"

Alix found herself sitting between her two brothers that had come along with the cavalry. Beord and Adler had showed up not just because they were ministers but also because they were her brothers.

Given her condition, if they didn’t come after such an explosion, their parents would skin them alive.

This question was raised by Adler while Beord took took pictures to share on the official Blue star communication page to assure everyone that everything was okay, not just with the governor but the planet.

Scarlet smiled innocently as if she had done nothing wrong and he was speaking nonsense. "Why does it have to be something I have done? You make it sound as if I am a troublemaker."

"Ha! if i didn’t know you quite well I would actually believe you." Adler replied.

Scarlet raised her hands and said hopefully, "Pregnancy brain."

"No." he answered sternly.

She sighed and put her hands on her stomach. "Brother, do you want to feel the babies kicking?" She smiled at him with still hopeful eyes.

Adler’s eyes moved to her stomach and he stared at it for a while. He had never touched the stomach of a pregnant woman before, let alone felt a baby kicking. His hand moved of it’s own volition and almost touched down. In the last two seconds, he stopped himself.

He flipped his hand over, palm facing up and he smiled sternly at Scarlet. "Hand it over."

He wiggled his eyebrows happily on seeing her disappointed face. She had forgotten that he knew her as well as she knew him. She was attempting to distract him in the hopes of keeping whatever weapon she had fired but he was not gullible no matter how capable she was of twisting him around her thumb.

Scarlet’s face changed from hopeful to sad and she said in a small voice. "But...."

"Hurry." he told her seriously. "This maybe your planet but you are still under the law of the Sun star empire and you have a responsibility not to endanger your citizens."

Scarlet reluctantly handed in the weapon. Her brother was not Tion that obeyed her wishes. If she pulled a stunt like this again, he would probably be criticized as the minister for defense on the Blue star.

Adler sealed the weapon away in a storage pod and handed it over to a mecha warrior. It would be taken back to their labs for further studying, it’s level of danger would be determined and it would be replicated or destroyed.

With the weapon dealt with, Adler turned to the one who was more dangerous than the weapon. "Now, little sister, I know that you are displeased about some things but please for crying out loud stop blowing up stuff. You don’t always have to resort to violence first."

She made a small protesting growl in her throat. Violence was not always the answer but sometimes it was a necessity.

"Now, now, little sister, let’s try speaking with our actual lips and not growl like ancient cave people." He patted her head slowly and gently as if he was calming down an angry kitten.

"Tch, I am not some kind of pet or child." She replied.

"Arggh!" Someone yelled.

They both turned their heads to what sounded like Beord being frustrated by their parents. His hulking frame stalked over to them angrily and he shoved his arm directly in front of Scarlet.

"See, she is fine." He said, in an exasperated voice. Then he told Scarlet, "Hey, tell your parents that you are okay."

He was on an active video call with the two Su parents. Scarlet had no idea what they had said to frustrate Beord but he was not pleased.

She waved at her parents with a guilty smile on her face.

"I am fine." She voluntarily told them.

While they were very relieved, they had a lot to say to her. Especially her mother whose biggest worry was the pregnancy. She thought Scarlet was playing fast and loose in her condition.

"What was that? Why did you have to run around unnecessarily and go so far? Scarlet will it break your legs if you stay in one place?" Her mother yelled. "Blowing up things, really! This is the height of irresponsibility Scarlet."

Scarlet groaned and peeked at Beord through unhappy eyes. Why did he come over if he noticed that their mother was in a mood to offer verbal discipline?

"I think you should move in with us until your husband returns..."

Scarlet’s attention was dragged back to the call the moment her mother suggested that.

"No." She blurted out.

Mega poked her head forward and squinted intensely.

"No!" She laughed dryly. "Is it so bad to live with your parents. Hey, have we become so unlovable that none of our children wants to live with us? Have we been bad parents?"

With these questions and more to follow, even Adler groaned. He couldn’t even begin mapping out the line from a building in wine country being blown to dust and their mother feeling unloved.

Only Mega Su could take something of national importance and somehow make it about her.

"You just had to blow something up." He whispered to Scarlet.

This would be a thing now for a whole month. She was probably going to call up Cecily and the empress to discuss how troublesome her children were being. She would also show them the new wrinkles they had given her.

"Mom, mom, I think the weapon is going to explode again...." Scarlet yelled.

She slapped Beord’s away and fired off a firecracker in the air.

Adler snatched the rest of the firecrackers which she had hastily got from her storage bracelet out of her hands.

"What is wrong with you? Stop setting things off."

"I panicked." Scarlet replied in her defense.

Adler gave her a disbelief filled look and he shook his head. He put a hand on her forehead and then her neck.

"I think you need to get checked out. Your temperature feels a little off too. Perhaps you caught something that is making you crazy from our travels."

They had not done any medical checkups when they returned. Maybe it was imperative that they do so.

She slapped his hand away and replaced it with hers. Her temperature was normal, and she was not crazy. She was just a little more impulsive than usual.

"Ahem." Beord cleared his throat and he glared at his two siblings. "Maybe we should just go back to London to avoid annoying anymore mecha warriors."

He pointed around and Scarlet noticed the less than happy faces of some officers. The firecracker had not been a hit apparently.

This did not mean that she would be abandoning wine country anytime soon. It was a fortress after all, a place where curious eyes could not pry. Whatever she was up to, nobody would know.

She smiled goofily and said, "I am staying. I could use a vacation and this place is warm, beautiful and close to the sea. It’s also time to harvest the grapes, make wine, grape juice and eat some cheese.

Plus, it’s marriage season. This place is perfect for weddings and honeymoons. Let’s just open the city to the public tomorrow.

And don’t worry, I won’t blow up anymore stuff."

She was speaking in what Adler had learned to refer to as her governor voice so he trusted that she meant her words and he smiled. But he should have known better because she was still talking.

"For now." She added. This was in her impish Scarlet voice. "Now...I need to talk to our empress about business."

For once, Adler wondered if it was too late to quit his position.
