Chapter 575: Hidden desires

The large elephants which were decorated in the colors of the royal family and jewels made their way to gates of the castle. Everywhere they passed, citizens in the streets screamed in excitement. Royal guards and mecha warriors flew above, protecting the emperor and the prince.

The streets were crowded and one never knew where anger would rise from from so until the emperor and prince were safely inside, their watchful eyes would stay vigorous.

RGB officers followed behind the elephant and others jogged along side them. Majority of them worked on ensuring that the citizens stayed behind the designated lines and didn’t come too close.

The whole thing reminded Scarlet of the way the British people acted on the weddings or special occasions related to their royal family. The parades of people in the streets, the flowers, the hysterical screams. This intense love and reverence for a fellow man of higher status was really amazing to witness from the perspective of a grim reaper.

She was once like them when it came to such things.

That was all before the zombie apocalypse came and then even the royals were pulled into the hellish world of the ordinary people, all trying to survive.

Lythia propped herself up on the kitchen counter and looked at the others in the room. "Humans never cease to amaze me. What is the significance of riding on that magnificent animals back?"

Scarlet couldn’t respond so she shrugged. She pushed the banana smoothie aside and got a box of snacks from the old earth called pocky. She had about three hundred boxes in her storage space and she ate them secretly on her own. Not even Justin had tasted these tasty stick biscuits.

"Ooh, snacks." Carnelia cheered.

The box flew out of Scarlet’s hand and into hers. Scarlet didn’t even the energy to argue with Carnelia in any way. She just gave her a resigned look and got another box.

"It’s not made with anything from the underworld." She still told the goddess.

"Eh, I can just chew on it randomly." The goddess replied.

Scarlet opened a matcha flavored one and looked at the screen. The reporters were explaining in great detail the significance of the elephants and how it used to be tradition.

"Tradition I mixed up," Scarlet thought.

The people of the interstellar era were really gullible and very thirsty for knowledge on ancient traditions. Anything Scarlet put out there was not questioned. They were fascinated by her revelations. On the Sun star, the history channel was surprisingly the most viewed television on every planet.

Anything she sold as a replica of ancient history sold out quickly and whatever she sold as authentic was even sold out quicker at exorbitant prices.

She was selling plastic cups for ten thousand star coins. In earth currency at dollar valuation that was around sixty thousand dollars. But even then, she was still not as rich as some of the noble families in her castle right now.

"Oh, it’s done." Carnelia complained.

The goddess looked at Scarlet while waving the empty box. "Dear, be kind to me."

Scarlet got five boxes and put them on the counter. This time round, even Lythia and Love took one.

"Why are you being so generous?" Lythia asked her.

She shook her head. For some reason, today she was feeling quite close to these female deities. There was a weird sense of familiarity as if they were related. It was the same feeling she felt around the Su siblings.

"I don’t know. I am felling awkwardly generous towards you all today." she replied in an irritated voice. "It must be my sister’s engagement which is making me sentimental."

"No...that’s not it." Lythia said.

Scarlet was not the biggest fun of deities and two of them in the room with her knew this. Their presence always made her uneasy and she was usually vocal in asking them to leave. Something else was going on.

"What’s the matter dear?" Lythia asked her.

Scarlet looked to the right and said in a heavy voice, "Nothing."

Out of nowhere, the goddess of love gasped and hugged Scarlet. The one who was hugged was stunned and weirded out. A hug from Lythia she could understand as they once shared a bed and a bath together. Even Carnelia and her had their fair share of interactions. The goddess of love on the other hand was a new fixture in her life. They were not chummy enough to be hugging.

"What’s this?" Scarlet twisted around and asked her.

Her twisting did not dislodge the goddess who just tightened her hold on her.

"I should have seen it earlier. When it comes to love, no hidden desire can hide from me." Love said.

Scarlet’s face twisted making a contorted expression. Her eyebrows furrowed while her forehead developed wrinkles. She narrowed her eyes in displeasure and jammed her elbow in Love’s stomach.

"Yeah that doesn’t hurt me." The goddess told her.

"I know." Scarlet replied. "But I was hoping you would take it as a sign to let me go."

"But I can’t, you need comfort." Love told her.

Lythia and Carnelia were confused. Why was Scarlet in sudden need of comforting from the goddess of love? Was there trouble in her relationship? What had Nyx or Esong broken?

"What is wrong with her?" Lythia asked.

Love tilted her head to the right and looked at Lythia. "She is sad because she never got to have a wedding of her own. In both lives she never got to experience an engagement or a wedding."

Love started caressing Scarlet’s hair, displacing the well placed pins which were holding it up fashionably and turning it into a bird’s nest look alike.

"Poor girl." She said, in as sad voice.

Scarlet adamantly replied, "I am not feeling any such thing. And let me go, I don’t enjoy being hugged forcefully."

"But I am love, my hugs are the best." The goddess replied in a nasal voice. "Why don’t you like me?"

"No, nope, no crying." Carnelia yelled.

"Tell her you like her." Lythia told Scarlet. "Now, now, if you don’t want this engagement to be ruined."

She spoke so urgently that a confused Scarlet was drawn into the sense of urgency and she blurted out, "I like you. No, I love you so much."

"Really?" The goddess asked her.

Why is she so needy? Scarlet asked herself. I feel like a husband being held at gun point and ordered to assure his wife that he loves her. With the way Lythia and Carnelia had yelled, this was probably worse than a gun.

"It’s true. You are the goddess of love. Who would not love you?" Scarlet assured her.

The goddess that had been frowning a few seconds ago was suddenly happier.

"I knew it. How could you not like me. I am love, everybody likes and yearns for me."

How old is she? Scarlet asked herself. She had the mental capacity of a teenager and she was easily duped, apparently. Or she was so vain that she didn’t care about honesty in the words as much as hearing them.

She was also still hugging Scarlet, leaning her head on her back and giggling as if Scarlet was her mother and she was the happy baby.
