This room itself looked like it had gone through an earthquake with everything broken and on the ground. The biggest abnormality here was his wife who was completely unbothered, even her dog was laying next to her with it's head on her thighs. What could he do in this situation? She needed urgent treatment first and then other things could follow.

"Scar," he approached her carefully and slowly. She smelled of alcohol and he guessed that she had been drinking. Tentatively he shook her body and she fell over, her entire body almost landed on a sharp protruding glass which would have penetrated her back if he did not catch her in time. The dog raised it's head and growled at him fiercely, treating him as an enemy. "Down boy, I am just trying to help your _" he stopped talking and tilted his head in a small moment in hesitation. Scarlet referred to herself as Severus's mummy occasionally. Why she chose to call herself the mother of a dog, he would never understand, that reasoning escaped his mental faculties. "Your mummy should not be in such a dangerous environment, what if she is injured even more by all the broken glass? Look at her body, she needs treatment urgently." Esong did not know if Severus understood him but he hoped the dog did after all, he had seen Scarlet talk many times to it like she would another person. As for Severus, he thought it did not matter much if Scarlet's body was moved around in any way. What mattered was that she stay in this unconscious state because she was engaged in a battle for tranquility between the soul of Su Yan and the host body of Scarlet. The two needed to bond seamlessly by working through the memories and accepting reality. If she failed in this battle, he would be the one to ask Lythia to forcefully turn off all her human emotions. They could not go through this again, this had to be the last time her emotions got the best of her. The physical state of her body which her husband worried about could easily be fixed with one beauty pill. But he could not explain all this to the human so he gave way and rose up from his position.

Esong's hand had been cut by the glass and it was bleeding but he hardly noticed because all of his attention was on Scarlet. He carried her away to the bedroom only to find scorch marks on the walls and the bed was nowhere to be seen. It did not take him much to guess that she had set it on fire. Torn clothes were on the floor, shattered mirrors and even one tiny cleaning robot had not survived the earth quake called Scarlet. He sighed and carried her to another bedroom, a guest bedroom. 

Adler found him carrying her there and he was alarmed by her condition, instantly he tried to take Scarlet away from Esong. He was reminded of the old days, at least she was not screaming like an insane woman this time round. But what had she done to herself?

"I have got it." Esong brushed Adler's hand away. 

But Adler would not relent, in his eyes Markay, Esong and the rest of his friends could all drop dead. They should return to the capital as soon as possible, this was happening because they were here. 

"Give me my sister." he said through gritted teeth. 

"I think you mean my wife." Esong retorted. "In case you have forgotten I am her legal husband. I have more rights over her than you do, I respect you as her brother and I would like for you to treat me the same way as her husband, now move."

Adler blocked Esong's way once again, a small vein on his head was throbbing and the anger within him was numerous. He felt the urge to beat something up or break it until it turned to dust. 

Tion and the maids just stood by, watching in confusion as they wondered who would win the battle between the husband and the brother.

"Adler," a stern voice called. This voice belonged to Dorian Su and it broke through the tension because Adler was forced to move and Esong took Scarlet into the bedroom. 

"How bad is it?" Carolyn asked. 

Apparently all the Su's were here down to little Halley, having been rallied by Beord and Elroy who sent them messages. The only person missing was Justin who was with his Cecily. Gertrude had taken him over earlier and requested Lady Cecily to keep him for the night without going into detail about what led to this decision. 

"Bad." Adler responded. 

"That's good." Dorian Su responded and the Su's shook their heads in agreement which confused the maids and the guards. What did they mean by bad was good? Did the word bad mean something else on the blue star?

"I was expecting you to say worse or worst, is anyone injured?" Mega asked. 

Adler looked at the maids, seeking for confirmation from the head maid Gertrude. 

 "No one is injured Lady Mega but almost everything in the living room and the bedroom has been destroyed. We are going to have to replace it all." 

"Do that, immediately and keep your mouths shut. If this news leaves this wing your bodies will never be found." she warned them coldly. 

These were the unexplainable negligible deaths of maids that worried Gertrude. She was frightened but she remained stoic, not exposing her fear and very glad that she did not tell Cecily a single thing. She was not the only one to tremble, the other maids were just like her. It was not uncommon for people like them to end up dead or disappeared suddenly. This job was high risk and high return because it paid extremely well but you had to be clever, quick and steady to navigate it.

"I will make sure that none of the maids says a single word my lady." Gertrude said with conviction. "I don't know about the guards though." With that statement, Gertrude cemented her place as the most loyal of Scarlet's maids in Mega's eyes.

"They know when to act blind and deaf when necessary." Esong filled in that gap. "Hurry up and clean up the rooms, by the time my wife wakes up I want the place to look exactly as it used to before. Which one of you knows to properly cut and style hair, when you are done my wife will need catering to. Also bring me one of those basins, soap and wash clothes she uses for Justin.

While other maids went away to start on that work, Gertrude looked at Esong and said, "What about the paintings Lord Esong? We cannot replace them because they are hand drawn paintings."
