Chapter 578: Looking like Cinderella’s wicked step mother.

Carolyn came barreling out of the bathroom like an attacking beast and she grabbed Scarlet by the shoulders. Her steps were heavy with determination and her eyes narrowed with anger.

"Where have you been?" she yelled as she shook her.

"Greeting your guests." Scarlet replied as she pried the hands away from her shoulders.

She sniffed Carolyn and took a step back. "You just puked." She said, and she pinched her nose.

Everyone knew that Scarlet’s sense of smell was like that of her dog, Severus. She could sniff out anything, no matter how deep you buried it. Carolyn had been confident after using the spray mist to clean her teeth and water to rinse her mouth.

With Scarlet’s words however, a new sense of panic came over her.

"Oh gods!! I stink. Right? I stink really bad. How can I go out there when I stink so badly? The emperor will be disgusted with me. The citizens...." she gasped and her eyes widened. "I have to take the dress off right now."

Her hands started tearing at the dress, and she successfully ripped something before Scarlet could stop her.

Scarlet rushed to toss a cloak over her body and wrap her arms around her sister who was clearly having a panic attack since she was heaving uncontrollably.

"Okay, everything male, out." she yelled.

Beord and Elroy were happy to escape the dressing room. Ideally, in an engagement ceremony between nobles, the father and eldest son were the ones required to handle the exchange of engagement gifts. Other sons were not required to be there but they could witness it if they desired. Both brothers suddenly decided to join and partake in the ceremony. Anywhere at this point was better than being inside that dressing room.

"I am telling mom." Elroy said.

"Don’t. Scarlet will handle it." Beord answered.

Inside the dressing room, Scarlet used her powers to calm her sister down and sit her down in a chair. She also gave her some crystal water as she patted her back gently.

Ever since she became a mother, the only way Scarlet knew to comfort a person was with a back pat and children’s song. That’s why she was humming Que Sera Sera, as she calmed Carolyn down.

Gradually, Carolyn settled down and her breathing returned to normal.

"I am not a baby." she mumbled.

"I know. Fey and I are the babies here." Scarlet responded.

Fey giggled and Carolyn rolled her eyes. She sat up and took one long measured deep breath in, inhaling a whole lot of air before exhaling it.

"Better now?" Scarlet asked her.

Carolyn nodded. "I am okay, it just felt like the whole world was spinning for a second there and I couldn’t find my footing. If you hadn’t come I would have leaped out of the window and run away."

"Don’t talk crazy." Fey told Carolyn.

She stood in front of Carolyn and raised her face up by the chin. "You have ruined your make-up."

"That’s because the stupid make-up artist did a crappy job. Look at me, my cheeks are too pink and my face is too white. I look like one of those old paintings Scarlet hung up along the castle walls." Carolyn wailed.

Scarlet was bound to agree. Carolyn looked like she had stepped straight out of the eighteenth century in her old world. It wasn’t just the make-up, it was the hair as well. Who in the world thought it was a good idea to make it big and round to form the shape of a sun?

Scarlet had not been around when Carolyn’s make-up had been done or when this ugly ass green gown was forced on her.

This was a memory worth keeping to tease her sister later on. So, she snapped a picture quickly. "You look like Cinderella’s wicked step-mother."

Carolyn gasped and looked at herself in the mirror. What looked back at her horrified her. This had been one of her worst nightmares on this day, looking ghastly and becoming a joke.

"What am I going to do?’ Carolyn cried out.

"We are getting rid of it all." Scarlet told her. "We have around forty minutes which is enough time for all of us to change into what we actually want to wear. We are women of the Su family, we lead the trends and others follow."

Fey grabbed Scarlet’s arm and shook her head. The empress would not happy.

"It will be okay." Scarlet told her. "Find Halley, Mina, any of your friends, that reporter...er.., Jelly."

"Why?" Fey asked her.

"An entourage, we need to make a grand entrance. Our dear sister here will need it. Bring mother too, and any female cousin of our ours that we don’t hate."

"Are you sure?" Fey asked her.

"Have you ever seen me unsure about anything?" Scarlet asked her. "Move."

Scarlet spoke seriously, and Carolyn decided to be sterner to get Fey moving.

"Move," she yelled in a desperate hurried voice.

Fey did not dare to linger around and she hurried out to do as told lest the crazy bridezilla explode on her.

The dressing room had a very large bed and Scarlet walked towards it and she started dumping all sorts of gowns, sarees and jewelry on it. She even brought out some of the jewelry she picked up in that sunken water palace from the small world.

She had cleaned it all in hopes of selling it but she wanted to build a mall first and fill it all up with luxury shops owned by her. It would be an investment for her daughters.

Carolyn was hot on Scarlet’s heels, ripping off the ugly dress as she followed. Her eyes glistened with excitement when she saw all the shiny jewels and pretty colored dresses. These were much better than what she was wearing.

"Take your hair down." Scarlet down.

As she gave her sister the order, she got wet wipes and cleaned her face, getting rid of the ugly clown make-up.

"Do you need a fresh bath?" Scarlet asked her.

Carolyn nodded. Of course she wanted a fresh bath because Scarlet had said she could smell puke. The two sisters used mental and physical strength to get rid of everything that was left on Carolyn’s body.

Scarlet shoved her into one of those mist bath tubes. It could clean your body in thirty seconds without wasting water and dry you off instantly. A convenient tool for when one was in a hurry.

Carolyn came out of the tube, butt naked and Scarlet didn’t even blink.

"Pants, bra, now." Scarlet told her.

She was controlling a steamer to iron a green and gold saree with intricate red patterns of small flowers between the larger floral swirling patterns. With her hands, she was picking out the perfect jewelry to match the saree.

The door was opened and they heard the sound of footsteps. Carolyn grabbed the old dress and used it to cover her body because she was still partially naked.

When she noticed that it was Fey, she dropped it down.

"Oh, it’s just you."

"And others." Fey said.

The door opened and more women poured into the room. Most, followed Fey tentatively because they had no idea why they had been invited.

"All of you, baths and clothes off." Scarlet shouted commandingly. "Your incoming crown princess needs a favor."
