Chapter 458: Who is the crazy one?

The Wu’s were very organized in everything, even at something as simple as attending the weekly Su breakfast meeting.

They walked in elegantly, each wife with an arm in her husband’s. They were dressed up in gowns and jewels giving the appearance of people who were here to attend a ball instead of a simple breakfast.

When they walked in, everyone was too stunned to speak for a smile.

They looked at themselves and a feeling of inadequacy settled over them.

Did they miss a change in plans? Was there more to this gathering than the usual breakfast?

"I apologize for our family running a little behind. I hope we have not delayed your breakfast." Etienne, the family patriarch spoke firmly.

Dorian took to his feet and smiled politely. "It’s not a problem, we were still trading greetings as well. Please sit down."

The Wu’s including Esong’s siblings all sat down and then stared at those who were sitting opposite of them.

The two families rarely interacted together over meals like this. Even when they were all together, each family usually did their own thing.

"It’s such a lovely day outside." Cecily said, breaking the ice.

Mega nodded, agreeing with Cecily. "The weather here is certainly better than that of the capital. The rains have been coming down on them non stop for two days now."

"Good for us because the number of tourists has gone up. The sunnier planets always get an influx of visitors at this time." Beord chipped in with his own opinion.

"Before you say good for us you should know that space pirate activity has gone up and so have smuggling attempts. In the last two days alone five gallons of that drug ON3 have been confiscated by guards at the space port.

The tourists while good, are also a menace." Adler in a displeased voice shared an opinion of his own.

The work load of his ministry had gone up and he was keeping late nights thanks to this influx of tourists which his brother was calling good.

"ON3," Emmett, who said little usually surprisingly said something. "Isn’t it highly addictive and deadly if taken in large quantities? What happened to the reports of the succesful crack down of such drugs on the black market? The RGB has been jubilant in the news lately because they have arrested a large number of dealers and producers."

"Tch, the RGB talks a lot more than it gets things done. They should just kick the case over to us.

One beating from a mecha warrior and nobody will dare to produce ON3 anymore." Esong bragged.

Scarlet and Carolyn looked at each other, both of them wondering if this was going to be the conversational topic at the table all through breakfast.

The maids came in, pushing trolleys and placed different breakfast foods around.

"Oh wow, this looks so good. Thank you so much for inviting us Mega." Cecily shot Mega a grateful look.

Most people were impressed by the assortment of these foods but the men who were discussing ON3 were still going on.

Emmett was talking and Esong was nodding. "The plague would be much easier to contain if the tribunal allowed the RGB to do mass mind searches.

All these human rights rants are the problem."

"But if mass mind searches are allowed are allowed then where is the line drawn. What’s to stop the RGB from using them on say everyone in a building if there is a theft case. There won’t be a need for investigations anymore if all that is necessary to catch criminals is compulsory mind searches of everyone." Dorian added to the conversation.

"They need to determine which of the two is the bigger evil. Is it the plague of ON3 or the mind search?" Etienne said.

"I say mind search." Elroy said.

"Me too." Lloyd raised his hand, just in case anyone cared about what he thought.

"ON3." Adler disagreed. "Mind searches don’t kill but ON3 does."

"These ones are too soft." Emmett pointed to Elroy and Lloyd.

"I am engaged." Carolyn said loudly and suddenly.

Her announcement was effective in ending the ON3 conversation as most eyes turned to her.

Most eyes except for Scarlet’s, Lanta’s and Emory’s.

Emory was staring at Justin like an obsessed woman, Scarlet was stuffing hash browns in her mouth and Lanta was doing the same.

"Oh my what wonderful news!" Cecily gasped. She turned to Markay immediately and said, "congratulations your highness."

"Congratulations." Etienne followed up.

"Yes, congratulations indeed. I am sure that your father will be happy when he hears this." Emmett told him.

One after the other, all of the Wu’s congratulated Carolyn and Markay and to everyone’s surprise, Emory did the same, and she did it politely.

In addition to that, she made an offer that had Scarlet choking on her hash browns.

"Feel free to come to me if you have any questions about preparations for your wedding. I have always maintained a close relationship with the empress so I know the things she approves of and those she doesn’t."

Scarlet and Esong shared a similar surprised look. Quickly, she pulled out her phone and sent him a message.

"Am I crazy or is your mother crazy?"

Emory was being nice, polite and friendly. Who exactly was the crazy one here? Was it them or her?

"What is going on?"

Esong shrugged and texted back.

"I am lost as well."

Scarlet shook her head and texted furiously.

"She is your mother, you know her better than I do. What do you think is going on?"

Esong looked at his mother who was looking at Carolyn with respect and reverence. This was a look which his mother usually reserved for the empress.

"Your sister could be the next empress if Markay becomes emperor."

Scarlet looked up and her eyes widened in realization.

"Oooh, no wonder. I thought I was going crazy for a minute. Your mother is unbelievable!!"

Esong shrugged.

"That’s the way she is. You are probably going to be seeing much more of her from now on. Prepare to meet a brand new Emory."

"Esong, Scarlet, I said no whispering at the table." Dorian called them and reminded them sternly.

"We are not whispering." Scarlet answered, putting her phone away.

"Talking to each other using your phones counts. No private conversations at the breakfast table, it’s family time." Mega told her.

An unexpected person followed that up with a similar opinion, Emory Wu, to everyone’s shock.

"I agree with your mother dear, it’s family time and nothing is more important than family."
