Chapter 319: Who called the GBCS?

In the castle, Scarlet changed Justin out of the wet clothes and into dry ones. Then, she took him to her sun room and laid him down on a couch gently.

Esong followed them through everything, hovering around and anxiously watching.

When she covered Justin with a blanket, he took something from his storage bracelet, a warm sleeping resizable pod that was used by infants mostly. Children could also use it but after three years, most hated the confinement it presented.

But it was one of the most utilized devices in winter, despite all the hatred children had for it.

"Mummy, I am not a baby." Justin said.

He shrunk himself under the warm cream fur blanket avoiding her hands. It was Illa who used this type of warmer, not him.

"Stop resisting, I did not tell you to play so close to the water. How many times do I have to tell you to stay away from water Justin?" she sked him with a harsh look on her face.

"Sorry mummy." he apologized in a small voice and looked down. She wanted to berate him even more but he looked like he was about to break into tears and she gave up.

Esong grabbed him carefully, and into the warmer the unwilling boy went into the warmer. It shrunk and wrapped his entire body within, with the exception of his head because Scarlet was planning to feed him.

Gertrude came to the sun room with a warm cup of milk which Esong was quick to take and show Scarlet.

"The tea is here." he said.

She took the cup from him, picked up a spoon while Esong sat Justin upright on his laps and Scarlet spoon fed him the milk. When the milk was finished, she gave him a small sleeping pill and hummed a lullaby.

The sun room was on the first floor of the castle, it was built with transparent glass, allowing the user to watch the outside world. And the outside view was that of a green garden, with a few rabbits, ducks and chicken that Scarlet kept in the castle.

She had added two ponies and a few horses to the animals. There was also a pond, which had waterlilies and duckweed,

Justin was more interested in watching the animals play and eat than he was in sleeping. But the sleeping pill was so strong that he fell asleep quickly.

She sighed and turned her icy stare on Esong.

"We have only one child." she reminded him.

"I know," he replied softy and he came closer to her and squatted down, placing his head on her laps. "I promise to be more careful next time."

She sighed, sagged on the couch and closed her eyes, as she thought about the fear that she had just experienced. That was the most that she had been afraid ever since she died, transmigrated and became a reaper. Not even the zombie on the wall had caused her to panic or scream as much as she did when Justin fell into that pond.

He was a curious little boy, and he would surely find an opportunity to return to play near water again, he loved it as much as his father did.

"Maybe we should fill up the ponds with soil." she suggested.

Her eyes were closed, so she missed seeing Esong roll his eyes as he disdained her suggestion. "Then what about the lake and the streams of water on the planet. Do we freeze them or fill them up with soil too? The blue star has the second largest percentage of water occupied planets in the empire. That’s why it was never a key planet for development except when it came to dumping trash. I will teach him how to swim, that is how we protect him. Other than that, you cannot do much else."

"I could tie him to my chest and go everywhere with him." she joked.

He chortled and shook his head, hoping that she was simply talking crazy and not considering it truly. He had already heard from Fey about her outrageous suggestion to keep him with her and unmarried until he made one hundred years. These little jokes of hers were not very humorous because she did dote on Justin excessively.

"Yeah, I vote no on that." he said. "I am sure that he would vote no as well if he was awake."

He got up, sat down and looked outside the tall and wide window, admiring the view outside.

"I saw a bird yesterday." he said, out of nowhere. "I don’t know if I was hallucinating but I am quite certain that it was a bird. Unless it’s a mutated beast that survived." He frowned and thought about what he had seen with his two naked eyes.

It had been there one second and gone quickly before he could take a picture as evidence.

"We have tall trees so we are bound to have birds." she answered. "They feed on corn and seeds, some eat the meat of other creatures. I wouldn’t be surprised if the bird population started to return."

Severus had released a few birds in the blue forest, they had not made there way to the city as of yet, which kind of puzzled her. Had they found a good hiding spot or a better home.

"We should put a ban on the hunting of birds in that case otherwise the guild will take them all back to the capital. If there are only a few and need to be raised like chicken, we could make a loss if they are all sold for meat." he suggested.

Scarlet’s terminal buzzed, and she looked at her arm. "Oof, your grandmother already knows about Justin’s accident and she is looking for us. Apparently, someone informed the GBCS about it and Mina is here to investigate."

"I will send them away," he said.

"The GBCS doesn’t leave without ensuring the wellness of the child, it will not be a good look if we send her away abruptly using our authority. Let her come over and check on his condition and we can coax her into telling us who made the report. Freaking idiot, do they think we pushed our own son into the pond?" As she complained bitterly, it crossed her mind that if this information had fallen in Emory’s ears, she was most likely the one who made the report.

While Esong went outside to talk to Mina, his grandmother and whichever relative was out there with concern for Justin’s health, she saw three direct messages in her inbox on her star net page from Ramslin.

"What does he want?" she asked herself.

As she read all three messages that had the same meaning, he wanted to see her.

Need to see you, answer your messages.

Should I just pop in reaper style?

Seriously stop ignoring me, I just want to trade. It’s a great deal, you will love it, I am coming over.

She ignored them and gave her undivided attention to Mina who checked on Justin’s condition and refused to give up the information on who reported the suspicious incident.

"Sorry." she apologized genuinely before leaving.

"Friend, you are so professional." Scarlet told her.

When everyone left, her terminal buzzed again, Ramslin was at the gates of the castle and he had come with dozens of reporters.
