Chapter 588: Propagandas being pushed.

Scarlet huffed, blowing air from her mouth. This had not been a great day and the frustration was piling up. She had a plan for the Blue star, one to turn into it into a world like the one she had come from, a planet with equal rights for everyone. But if she thought about it clearly, it’s not like people were equal on earth.

You had the rich and the poor, the law was different for them all. Not just the law but everything was different for both classes of people. In fact, the schools the rich attended, the poor didn’t. The poor took what they could afford and talked themselves into being satisfied with it.

Beord scratched the back of his neck, hesitant to say what he wanted to.

"What?" she knew him clearly. He was holding back and she had to force whatever it was out of him.

"I have already visited the school, it’s where I was after dropping Justin home. Most of the children of the nobles and business men on the Blue star have already been enrolled there. I told the dean to expect a call from you." he told her.

"You what!!" she yelled in a deep voice.

He put a finger over his mouth and said, "Shh, shh, don’t shout, Justin will hear you."

She pointed at him, angry and she said, "You should have discussed....."

He chimed in before she could finish making her accusation. "I am his uncle and I have every right to take action when I see my nephew in danger. The final decision will be up to you, of course since you are his mother. I just thought that I could expedite the process. You haven’t even seen the news, have you?"

She had not seen the news, she had been on grim reaper duties, taken a bath and then answered the call.

"Alex, show me the trending news."

The news of Justin’s little scuffle had made it out already and nothing positive had been written. Many of them were making it seem like Justin was entitled and he had attacked a classmate because he was spoiled.

"The governor’s son lays down the physical law at school."

"Like mother, like son. Could violence be genetically inherited?"

"Why nobles and commoners shouldn’t mix?"

"Commoner affiliated schools will not protect your noble children. Stick to tradition and resist integration."

"The little noble pup cannot shed his skin and co-exist with sheep. Lord Justin Wu exposing his entitlement by attacking his commoner friend."

It was obvious to see that some noble aided news medias were already using this opportunity to push their agendas about isolating nobles from commoners more.

The radicals who wanted nobility gone were also using the opportunity to make Justin a scapegoat.

"They have lost their fucking minds!’ she whispered.

Beord nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly with her assessment of the media. They were the most disloyal people, praising you one minute and pulling you down the next.

"What is BSTV saying about it?" She asked Beord.

"Nothing. It is our official planet’s media house, they cannot put out any news to tarnish the governing family. They can criticize the royals but they never criticize you. I was contacted by Mr. Rodney for an official statement and I asked for a two hour allowance. What do you want me to say?"

They both knew that eventually BSTV would still have to report on the issue.

She bit her upper lip and put her hands on her waist. Then, she started bouncing her shoulders up and down slowly because of the stress which was weighing down on them.

"That it was....I don’t know. My baby is innocent, just tell them to report the truth exactly as Justin said it." She had no idea how to spin it.

"And Koko, do we mention her name or just say a friend?" he asked tentatively. He could see that she was more than stressed and ready to explode again.

He was right, because she glared at him quite frighteningly. Beord did not want to be the next person to cross Scarlet’s path on this day.

"I will talk to the dean but first let me talk to Justin. His opinion counts because he will be the one going to school there, at least we should discuss it first."

Scarlet didn’t dwell on what the news was saying but she did go to star net immediately to voice her personal opinion on the page of the governors which she and Esong had access to.

Blue Star Gov: Using a child to spread your propaganda is nasty. Young Lord Justin Wu has never been violent. #Stop the fake news.

Beord received the notification immediately and he looked up. I thought she didn’t want to release a statement, he thought.

"Where is he?" She asked him.

"He is coming." he told her.

As she waited for Justin, they discussed the progress of the horse racing track and the castle.

In the royal palace, the emperor was reading the same articles with a cold demeanor about him. His face held no emotions, it was blank but very vocal. And the message was simple, he was pissed.

The minister of press and media was trembling with his head lowered, praying that he would not be the one to pay the price for these trashy articles.

King Wu finished scrutinizing the last article and he looked at the minister with a smile on his face. A warm smile would have been welcome but a cold smile which didn’t reach his eyes was not welcome.

Minister Campbell trembled even more. They said that when the emperor smiled like this in times of uncertainty, heads would roll. His own hands moved to his neck as very frightening thoughts danced in his mind.

The panic overwhelmed him so much that he fell onto his knees and begged desperately.

"Your highness, I am working to have all these articles retracted. None of this was passed by my ministry, we caught wind of it after they had gone viral. Please, spare me."

The emperor sent the tablet which he had been using to read the news flying. It landed on the head of the minister, cracked and fell down.

"Get up." he barked.

Sweat trickled down minister Campbell’s neck and he clenched his hands, moving nervously from side to side because he was so worried he thought he was going to piss on himself. He wasn’t confident in the abilities of his bladder not to cause him an embarrassment which he would not be able to live down.

"How much money do you take from my royal house every year to keep certain things out of the eyes of the public? You seem to be failing at your job so should I replace you or simply erase you for this colossal fuck of a mess." the emperor asked him.

"Your highness!’ Minister Campbell cried out.

His knees buckled and lowered.

"Don’t you dare fall to your knees again. Stand like a man, like you do when you are accepting millions from the royal treasury. As a matter of fact, smile for me Campbell." The emperor ordered him.
