Chapter 330: Again__, there must be something

News of Scarlet’s travel to the grey star was quick to travel, and it reached the ears of different people on different star planets who had their own goals, ambitions and reasons for keeping an eye on her.

In the capital for example, minister Godiver heard the news from his spy in the communications department of the Blue star. He informed his father immediately.

The empress heard the news from Markay, and she passed it on to the emperor immediately.

"The Grey star, again.." he said thoughtfully.

"There must be something there, she is simply choosing not to share what it is." The empress said.

The empress’s words cast a shadow of doubt on the emperor’s face and he frowned. "We are to be family soon, why is she not allowing us to partake in whatever this is?" he asked.

The empress scoffed and she laughed lightly, "We are already family, she is married to Esong. But, I don’t think he and Markay know what she is up to either because Esong would definitely tell us. His loyalty to the throne has always been unquestionable, we should be patient. Now that she has gone there in person it won’t take long for us to know why. I can see that some of your ministers are working hard, Godiver Junior is working round the clock."

"He-he-he, as always, nothing escapes you my empress.’ The emperor laughed.

His wife had spies in every home, her information network was the biggest in the empire. She had people in the RGB, mecha warriors association, companies, guilds, research centers, hospitals. Her reach went so far because he provided her with the resources and gave her free reign.

"I am simply allowing them to play around, but if they get too greedy then I will root them out in the next winter." he answered.

"So, what do you think has taken her to the grey star?" the emperor asked her.

"Whatever it is, as long we get taxes or tribute from it, then I hope she succeeds." The empress said. "

She brought a large transparent bottle of fresh cold orange juice from her storage bracelet and placed it on the table before the emperor with a glass.

The emperor’s assistant tasted the juice, then the empress drunk a large sip herself, using another glass.

The emperor had to drink last, to ensure that whatever he was given to eat or drink had not been poisoned.

The empress took some snacks out of her storage bracelet as well and said, "Markay sent me some new chips as well, he said they go best with orange best."

"Mmm, we should plant oranges in our castle too." the emperor suggested.

"I will tell Markay." the empress said.

"We should plant other fruits too, the research center has sent over a list of the fruits that have been planted successfully." he added.

"I will tell him." she answered.

On the red star, a man with long red hair, eerie range eyes that made many people uneasy was staring at a message on his bracelet terminal. He was wearing the official RGB uniform, the one worn by captains. He was standing on a hilly mountain ridge that was being mined at the bottom.

"Hmm, Esong Wu’s wife is on the Grey star." he said in a whispery voice.

Standing next to him was another man, in an RGB uniform, similar to his, designating him another captain. He had short dark hair and his eyes light were black. In his eyes, was a look of curiosity.

"What are you thinking about Atlas?" he asked the red haired man.

"Nothing." the red haired man, Atlas answered and he chuckled before going down the ridge.

The man who was left behind watched Captain Atlas go down the mountain ridge with a weary look on his face. He wondered what kind of trouble would cause and what chaos he would create.

Atlas, despite of his wisdom and rapid rise among the ranks of the RGB within two years was a sick fellow. He was sick in a way that he would obsess over something in an unhealthy way. The obsession was often an outstanding married woman and he often pursued her, used her and lost interest.

The women never said a word to keep their dignity intact in the eyes of the public and if their husbands found out, they did the same so Atlas’s indiscrimination’s went on with no one the wiser.

His latest obsession was Scarlet, Esong’s wife and he was worried that Atlas would be tempted to do something crazy. Unlike the other women, Scarlet was married to royalty, and a female governor. A woman who married into royalty was not easy prey and whatever he was thinking, it would be best for Atlas to abandon it sooner rather than later before it turned into a fire that burned him.

"Are you coming Enoch?" Atlas shouted from the bottom of the ridge.

Captain Enoch wondered if he should pass this information along to Esong Wu, for a few seconds. But when he thought about it, his own heart ached.

He smiled and waved at Atlas, "I am coming." he shouted and quickly went down the ridge. Then he put his arm around Atlas and playfully punched him in the stomach.

On the Grey star, Scarlet was teaching governor Lancaster and the others about bees, and their dangers and advantages. She had released some energy which attracted the attention of the bees and they were swarming around her.

"You should not be scared of them governor Lancaster, these are wonderful treasures. To me, they are worth so much more than jewels." she said.

"Ah," governor Lancaster looked on in fascination, and he was tempted to catch one of the insects with his bare hands. She had called them treasures after all and who didn’t like treasures? He looked at the bees which he previously thought of as hateful little insect mutated beasts with loving eyes. "Did you buy this entire area because you knew that they were here?"

She could not simply deny it when she had come with all sorts of gadgets that allowed them to come close and the insect repellant which stopped the bees from coming too close to them.

"I suspected it after I saw a post about buzzing insects that sting and sweet air." she answered. "I hope that you don’t think I bought the land under false pretenses because I took a chance as well as I had no idea if they were really here or not. Also, I actually wanted the landed more because of the view. All the buildings which are being constructed are going to be part of a resort, a vacation spot. People can come to swim, dance, eat and have a good time."

Governor Lancaster nodded as she talked, and his mind moved from the bees to the resort idea. There were not many bees on the grey star as far as he knew but the resort idea was something he could count on. There were many areas on the grey star which were like this and he wondered if they could all be turned into resorts.

"What other businesses can be done here using our own resources?" he asked her.
