Chapter 218 Be Sorry As A Grim Reaper



"You are feeling guilty, right?" Severus asked her.

"Yes." She did not deny what was true. If only she had just popped in....

"Be sorry as a grim reaper, not a wife, what you did as his wife is not very unusual. My mother would go weeks without talking to my father if he angered her to the extremes. The longest record was one year. But as a grim reaper, it's shameful that this evil thing has been here for weeks and we did not sense it. So, let's go get that motherfucker!!"

"Please stop talking like Alice." She said as they passed through the walls, following the scent Severus had latched on to.

Along the way, they found Ian and Cedric whispering, they appeared to be conspiring about something and a sound barrier had been raised to ensure that their conversation could go no further than this room.

"We have to call it off, I don't care what he said." Ian said.

"This is the emperor's order, we must obey and Esong agreed to it."

Scarlet planted herself in front of them, and her head would move back and forth from one speaker to another. She desired to know what they were speaking of and what exactly Esong had agreed to.

"Can I read their memory?" She asked Severus.

"Only when they are sleeping, or in a relaxed state and right now they appear to be hyper vigilant to me. Besides, we have vermin to catch, chop chop."

"We are flying inside of an enclosed space ship, trust me that vermin is going nowhere. I have to deliver it myself so that I can get the equal of it's value."

"We all knew that their was something suspicious about Princess Keziah but this has gone on for too long. Have you ever seen Esong sitting in the captain's seat without Hachiko in his arms? Then suddenly he asked you to lock up the dog in keep it out of the control room because it scares the princess. Come on brother, this test or whatever the emperor seeks to find out from the princess has gone on for too long. I think she has some other freakish power beside healing, maybe it's mind control." Ian looked convinced by what he was saying. Something had gone terribly wrong with the plan to get into the mind of that princess.

"We checked her mental strength, she is an A and A's cannot control the mind of another person." Cedric disagreed with that theory.

"Then can you explain his weird behavior?" Ian asked the other. "I don't care, she is not to be close to him anymore. As soon as we touch down,...."

The ship shook and rumbled before he could get all of his words out.

The alarm started going off, and then he said, " We are under attack."

The two took off running while Scarlet who now had bits of information sighed and followed Severus.

From room to room they went until they entered what was the temporary sleeping quarters of the princess Keziah or floozy as she was called in the governor's castle. It was quite telling that despite the loud noise from the beeping of the alarm and the shaking of the spaceship, the woman remained steady, with her eyes closed, sleeping as if she heard nothing.

Was it that the ruckus was not loud enough or was she simply a deep sleeper? This was very abnormal, it made no sense at all.

Scarlet waved her hand over the princess, feeling her heartbeat and it's steadiness. All signs pointed to sleep which was occurring naturally. She then looked around for a sound barrier, and found none.

"This is weird." She said. "How can she sleep through the noise and danger?"

"Maybe she took a sleeping aid." Severus suggested.

"Maybe." She said slowly, her eyes remained on the woman and her face maintained a scowl as she watched her. "There is nothing beckoning about her, I bet she had some work done on her face. See how stiff is?"

"Let's go, ignore the floozy, the soul eater is close." Severus told her.

"Can I dump some itching powder or something on her face before we go further. I can't simply ignore her after what she has done. Besides, I think she is the master of that soul feeder."

"Deal with her after the soul eater," he replied.

"Wait, wait, just something small, I already have it in my soul gourd." She had many different types of powders bought from a pharmacy in the dark rune village, all these were prepared so that she could defend herself in human form in case someone attempted to kidnap her. She wanted to give some of these powders to Justin but he was young and she worried that he would mess around with them.

"This one," she opened a small sachet and took out a medium sized round white pill. "This will give someone red bumps on the face for three months." She told him. In essence, the red bumps might be pimples or rash which was something she had never seen on the face of anyone in this world. It was not explainable either because it just didn't happen. The concept of acne was completely new and unheard of to these these people. "Congratulations princess floozy, you will be the only pimple faced princess in this world." She said with a smile as she crushed the pill and the small powders fell on the face of the prince.

"Well, at least you have not attempted to kill her." Severus muttered, "You have learned to control your emotions far better than I expected."

"Should I give her a new haircut too? She will look prettier without hair." Scarlet mumbled.

"No," Severus said sternly, "We have to go."

They went into the next room, it was the one being used by her personal maid, another female who was awake, standing by the window and looking outside with a smile on her face. Her pale grey face looked unnatural, and she did her eyes which were black as pitch and empty. Scarlet could see their reflection in the window she was looking at.

What was even more unsettling was the way she spun around and looked directly at Scarlet with a weird expression on her face.

"Hello reaper." She said. "I have been waiting for you."
