Chapter 560: A mashing of cultures.

Scarlet had woken up with this wild idea of turning Carolyn’s engagement ceremony into a two day event with different festivities just like some cultures used to do on earth. She introduced various aspects, picking most from Asian cultures and combing them, like the applying of henna on their hands, enjoying a variety of special dances performed by family and close friends, giving out red packets, inviting the monks over to offer blessings and other fun activities. A day of such fun had already gone by and they were on the last day.

On the Blue star, the day of the engagement was declared a once off public holiday so nobody was going to work on that day. Many citizens were excited for the ceremony and they were watching the newly introduced aspects of ancient culture on Scarlet’s live broadcast which would not end until the morning of the engagement.

Some sharp eyed tattoo artists were already offering henna services for women who wanted to participate in the tradition. It seemed goofy in the beginning but this morning, many female employees and girls showed up to work or school with very colorfully decorated hands. It was not just on the Blue star but other planets as well.

Scarlet had done hers the supernatural way by moving parts of her green flame tattoo to her arms. At the moment, she was preparing to teach her viewers how to make ladoos, but her mother was hovering.

"Mother, Lady Su, please I am busy." Scarlet turned her mother around so that she could leave. The viewers might find her hovering cute but Scarlet didn’t.

"But your henna is scary, it looks like a fire. I just want to make it a flower." Mega grabbed Scarlet’s hands.

Those viewers who were watching chuckled at her words while Scarlet frowned. This was the third time her mother was saying this.

[Finally, we have someone who is not afraid to speak facts. It’s hideous!!]

[Lady Su is just like my mother when I try to leave the house in an outfit she doesn’t approve of. She will nag and nag until I give in.]

[The sister of the bride should never look more beautiful than the bride.]

[Our beautiful Blue star governor will always be the most beautiful one in the room, ugly henna tattoo or no.]

[Am I the only who has noticed Flan, Severus’s wife glaring at Lady Su. What did she do to that dog?]

"Mother, I am not the bride. It’s not me that needs to look beautiful on that day." Scarlet answered. She pointed at one of the comments on the virtual screen and said, "Look, even some viewers are agreeing with me."

Someone screamed out of nowhere and both women turned around.

"Mother, the edible gold is on fire." Fey shouted.

"What?" Scarlet shouted as well. "You! Who told you touch it?" she yelled out even more.

She took off running and the drone cameras above followed her.

[Did I just hear someone saying edible gold?]

[I have never seen a beautiful woman screaming loudly, especially the nobles. This family has opened my eyes in so many ways.]

[I and my family have started a charity. Every time one of the women in the Su family shouts, we add one hundred star coins to it. Guess how much we have accumulated so far.]

[This is a gold bar. Can someone please tell me how to turn it edible because my family owns five gold mines on the Green star?]

[Even when she is screaming she looks so adorable. Governor Scarlet, marry me please.]

Scarlet handled the matter and when she returned to the kitchen counter with her edible gold, she giggled as she quickly scanned the comments.

"Mr. Shay, please stop yourself from running to eat the gold your family mines. This gold is different but that explanation will come later. Check out the agricultural and food forum later. For now, let me teach you how to prepare sweets that where common at weddings in some cultures of our ancestors. The sweets are called ladoos."

She had prepared some the previous night. Someone slid a tray towards her and she stopped it with her mental strength. It was filled with yellow round balls.

"They will look like this when I am done preparing. Because there is so much chaos going on in the castle I figured we could taste them together before I do the preparations just in case the kitchen catches fire before I get done."

The viewer’s understood her completely and agreed because yesterday’s salmon for dinner broadcast had not been completed. The beautician had apparently cut off a little too much from the tips of Carolyn’s hair and all hell was let loose.

Scarlet bit off half of the ladoo in her hand and chewed it rather quickly. She popped the other half into her mouth, then picked up another one and ate it whole.

[Is she eating for herself or for us?]

[Soft and sweet, but I thought it would taste like a pumpkin because of the bright yellow color.]

[She is on the fourth one but my taste buds are still on the first one. Please slowdown.]

[Tasting is done, now do the lottery.]

[Here comes stupid Severus, ready to gobble up what’s left.]

"Mother you have forgotten these ones too." Justin’s voice was heard and he appeared on the screen.

He handed Scarlet a white bowl with coconut ladoos which has had indeed forgotten.

The mommy fans started crazy immediately, giving Scarlet very many gifts just because they had seen the one they were waiting for.

[Finally, after a whole day and a half of watching I can see my little prince.]

[Baby please look at the cameras and smile.]

[Our only chief taster who understands the job has arrived. Chef Scarlet the horrible taster has been fired.]

[For crying out loud, those of us who are here to learn have our ingredients out and we are ready to begin. Will you please stop this nonsense?]

Scarlet ate three coconut ladoos, sucked her fingers and washed her hands.

"Let’s begin." She looked at the cameras and said.

She got saffron powder and opened her mouth. Just before she could talk, Halley came to her and tugged on her shirt. Scarlet looked down and so did the cameras.

"Sister Scarlet, Sister Carolyn has said that she is going to shoot all the suckling pigs because she doesn’t want weird things at her engagement banquet. Brother Beord told you to hurry because if you are late you will only find blood."

"Aah that crazy bride to be." Scarlet muttered.

Why was she interfering in the menu planning when she was supposed to be getting a massage and soaking in the herb infused water which she had prepared for her? Carolyn really didn’t know how to relax.

She smiled at the camera and said, "The robot butler will teach you the recipe, I have to go."

The stunned viewers were left confused and the last words they heard were from Scarlet who was running out yelling, "Carolyn, if you touch my pigs I will slaughter you instead."

[There she goes, our beautiful governor, shouting again.]

[So can someone explain what a suckling pig is and why it’s weird?]

[I don’t want to watch the robot butler. I want to watch the governor slaughtering her sister.]

[Have you asked for permission from the incoming crown prince before slaughtering his fiancé?]
