Chapter 444: Banshee spy

Two days later, the governing couple returned home, having taken another day of what was a private vacation.

By the time they left, guests were already arriving at the eco resort. Pictures were being shared on star net already.

They were also being shared on ally net, the shared network of empires in the alliance.

There was some serious bragging on ally net as citizens of different planets and empire’s compared what they had that was better than others.

Scarlet was in her office, in the London branch of the governor’s building, doing her work.

At this specific time however, she was not working but having a conversation with Severus.

"They need to go, all the monsters. I can’t stand them." He complained.

"Lanta can go but the banshee stays." Scarlet answered.

She spun herself around in her office chair, having child like fun as she enjoyed herself.

She was feeling recharged after that vacation, completely stress free.

"Why do you side with that thing always? Don’t I mean more to you? Should I force you to choose between us?" He asked unhappily.

He also seemed to be sulking. And what did he mean by forcing her to choose between them. He had been watching soap opearas again, it seemed.

He thought she didn’t know his secret but she did. He watched them all the time, even the maids had noticed and they would put his food in front of the screen to make it more comfortable for him to enjoy them.

"I didn’t bring the banshee over to play games or because I love it so much. I brought it because I am uneasy." She explained.

Worried, Severus walked over to her and sat down at her feet.

"What is it?" He asked.

"Ramslin." She said the name, distasteful. "I don’t trust him one bit.

Never once has he told me the truth, he always gives me half truths. You remember the vortex, he lied to me about it initially.

He also showed up here out of the blue and started hanging around me. I refused to grant him access to my home as a reaper and he tricked his way inside as a human.

He proposed an alliance but not even once has he mentioned it since then."

Her eyes darkened and she released green flames from her hands, turning them off and on as she thought.

"Maybe I am being paranoid, I don’t know."

Severus sighed and figured that he might as well tell her the truth.

"Do you know that I caught traces of his energy at my eco resort?

The morning after my first night there with Esong, I saw his energy. It was fading, and I thought I imagined it but I can’t shake the strong feeling that he was there.

It makes me wonder why he was hovering outside our tent. What if he was listening or watching Esong and I when we made love? It creeps me out, and makes me uneasy."

"He wants you." Severus blurted.

"What?" She asked.

"He wants you to his partner. That crazy reaper is waiting for your husband to die and then he will swoop in like a vulture.

I tried to talk sense into him but he wouldn’t listen, he is obsessed with this idea of you two being this power couple in the underworld.

Don’t worry, I have already reported this to all three deities and they will stop him if he steps beyond his boundaries."

Scarlet’s unease deepened even more with Severus’s words. They did not soothe her as he thought.

She touched her stomach and frowned. She had a lot to protect now. She could not just cross her fingers and hope that the deities were watching him every second.

"How is the banshee related to this?" He asked her.

"I can’t trace her energy and neither can you. She is like the wind itself, and she can make herself invisible.

I brought her over to keep an eye on Ramslin while he is here on the Blue star.

That and the fact that we already have monsters living here, I need her to track and keep me informed of their identities.

I should start my own database of underworld monsters in my world. You never know when such information could come in handy."

Although he was uncomfortable with the presence of the banshee, Severus understood where she was coming from. The first natural born reaper children after millions of years were a big deal.

It was her duty to protect them, him too.

"Okay, the banshee can stay but what about the harpy?"

Scarlet pursed her lips and then sighed in irritation.

"I don’t know. What in the world was that fire deity thinking sending her here?

What am I going to do about Beord if he doesn’t want their bond severed?"

"Then you will have have half human, half harpy nieces and nephews. Or maybe full human or full harpy.

There is never a guarantee how the children will come out in these relationships." He told her.

To her, it sounded like Severus had seen human-harpy pairings before. Did such relationships work?

"Have you seen such pairings before?" She asked.

"Of course I have, I have been alive for such a long time." he spoke proudly, bragging.

She crumpled a piece of paper and threw it at him.

"So what happens? Do they work?"

He tossed the crumpled paper away with his paw before looking at her again.

"If she loves him, your brother will enjoy a long happy marriage. They are protective of their mates, willing to die for them, and never stray when they make a choice.

If she doesn’t then she has ruined him, especially if she leaves and he refuses to let go of the bond.

There are pros and cons to everything. It’s just like human-reaper pairings.

They have good and bad sides. Honestly, I think your kind of relationship is the worst.

Grim reapers do not stick to their relationships with humans for so long because they know the human will die. They leave a long trail of broken hearts in their path and they don’t care."

Scarlet thought about it and failed to concur with his words. Some reapers cared, they just knew reality was not favorable at the end of the day.

If she and Esong did not have Justin, she would have divorced him back then. Now that she loved him, everything was ten times more complicated for her.

It would even become more complicated when she had the children.

"By the way, one of the dogs overheard Zorl on the phone with his bosses in the capital. Someone from the tribunal is coming to look into the case of the boy you released.

The one suspected to have the darkness. Apparently you had no authority to make a decision on how things should have proceeded." Severus shared some information which he had forgotten.

"The boy didn’t have the darkness, professor Sham confirmed it.Let them come, and I will make it a public inquisition.

In addition, it’s time to announce that there is a cure for the darkness."

She was a guardian reaper, she would stop unnecessary death as it was her job.
