Chapter 605: Esong’s school days.

"That’s not what I meant but thanks for the contribution." Scarlet told him.

There was a serious case of narcissism among her siblings that needed studying. They were all unequivocally confident in their good looks.

Elroy added to Adler’s arrogant statement. "But is he wrong though? We Su’s are gorgeous. Our genes are glorious. You Wu’s landed the jackpot by marrying from our family. I can guarantee that you will have grey eyes, blonde hair...."

"Hey," Scarlet, in a complainant tone jumped in. She pointed to her head.

She had dark hair where the others had black. Leaving her out was exclusion and she would not stand for it.

"You are the odd one in the bunch sadly." The third princess told her.

Dorian Su jumped in, defending Scarlet. "What’s sad about it? She looks exactly like my late mother, they could be twins. I think it’s amazing that someone in one generation can be molded after someone from a whole other generation. If only your grandmother could have lived long enough to see you. You would be her favorite."

Scarlet stuck her tongue out at the rest of her siblings, deliberately showing off. "Really, I wanna see pictures." She then told her father.

Unexpectedly, the third princess jumped into this conversation with a very random question. "I know that we are talking about genes and beauty but is anybody else hungry or is it just me?"

"You are not alone, I was too nervous to eat this morning. What do you all say to having a feast after Justin smashes his test." Rubbing his stomach, Elroy answered her eagerly.

They were not the only ones in the group that had not eaten. Even Scarlet was walking around on empty fumes. Not only had she not eaten that morning but her last meal had been the breakfast of the previous day. The children were fine, thanks to the milk Lythia kept supplying to her.

She had also made sure that Justin and Esong were well fed. Her baby could not be battling on an empty stomach. He had a lot to prove today after all and he needed his strength for it.

The mention of food actually got to her however and made her stomach rumble.

"Pumpkins and apples are back in full bloom. Should we have a pumpkin feast?"

"I thought you exhausted everything pumpkin." Fey told her. That’s what Scarlet had told her after the second everything pumpkin live broadcast.

"Pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin bownies, pumpkin stew, pumpkin butter, pumpkin twists, pumpkin rice balls in coconut milk, pumpkin scones, pumpkin risotto, pumpkin cheese cake, pumpkin rolls, pumpkin biscuit, pumpkin bars, pumpkin curry with chicken." Off the top of her head, Scarlet mentioned all the random pumpkin recipes she could think of. Some, she had only heard about and never tasted even in her old life.

Some of the people in the group licked their lips as they imagined all the foods she mentioned. Others wondered if these foods truly existed or Scarlet was just mentioning random things to whet their appetites which she had succeeded in doing.

The third princess groaned and cried out weakly. "By the gods, please stop, you are killing me."

"Maybe we should all stop walking and get a bite to eat first. They do have a well stocked dining hall here." Elroy suggested.

"Not now, the dean is here." her mother announced.

They had walked all the way to the tallest and largest building in the school which was were the offices of the school where it’s administrative body sat. The dean was personally waiting for them along with three others. They stood tall and still, looking elegant in their white and maroon body suits with light maroon cloaks lightly dancing in the wind.

Their faces were stoic, like men sent on a hard mission, devoid of smiles or grace. These men were definitely bound to instill the fear of God in any of their students.

Justin put his hand in Scarlet’s and he tugged on it. She looked down and smiled at him.

"It will be okay baby." she said to him.

They walked to the top of the steps and finally came face to face with the stern faced welcoming crew which awaited them.

Scarlet thought that she and her party would have to greet first but the dean and his group bowed their heads first. Initially, she thought it was her specifically they were greeting but as it turned out, they were greeting the royals in their group first.

From Etienne Wu, Carolyn, the third princess, Esong and finally Scarlet.

"Thank you for taking us on under such disturbing circumstances Dean Larox."

Dean Larox nodded. "It’s our honor that you chose us, governor Scarlet."

He spared a smile for her, which surprised her because she thought he didn’t know what a smile was . He was a middle aged man in great shape with long whitish silver hair that was tied back in a bun which was neater than hers.

"It will be my pleasure to mold the mind of young lord Justin Wu. You have brought him in time before he can pick up some of his father’s less than desirable vices." he said.

Most eyes trailed to Esong and poked at him with curiosity. First of all, which vices were these and secondly why did the dean sound and look like an anti-fan of the great mecha king. Everybody expected Esong’s reputation to be stellar given the fact that the school even had a statue in his honor. Apparently, there were some stories to tell about his past.

"He-he." Esong laughed. "Dean Laroix...."

The dean held a hand up and stopped Esong’s planned explanation. "We haven’t found replacement materials for the first model galacta ship which you broke."

"I am still looking." Esong muttered.

"Neither have we managed to replace the original Odden compass which you and your little merry band of troublemakers borrowed and lost." The dean used air quotes to describe borrowed.

"I apologized for that, I was punished for it."

"You blew up the data archives room and two virtual training rooms."

"I was punished for that too." Esong grumbled out, unhappy that his dark past was being revealed.

"Doesn’t negate the crime now, does it?"

Esong twisted his lips and smiled but he looked quite guilty.

"Let’s not forget Lord Bambi, the grade eleven mechanics professor....."

"Maybe we should forget it all." Etienne Wu rushed to Esong’s defense, and saved him from the dean’s further revelations of his trouble making days.

Scarlet on the other hand chortled silently. She was definitely going to need to hear more about these adventures of his.

The dean turned from Esong and his eyes moved to Justin.

"Young Lord Justin Wu." He said.

Justin’s eyes widened and he clutched Scarlet’s dress. He behaved in a manner similar to when he met governor Lancaster. He took a step back and hid behind her partially.

"Baby," She pulled him out but Justin shook his head stubbornly.

He peeked at the stern faced adults and hid his face behind her. He did not want to be alone with them in any way. They looked quite mean and scary.
