Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 393: Meeting the reporters.

After one puking session, a bath and a cold drink of hell fruits mixed with strawberries, Scarlet finally talked to the press about the fire. In order not to move for the sake of her own comfort, they were invited to the castle.

BSTV was no longer the only media house on the Sun star, three other medias had opened branches on the Blue star and some citizens also started their own online news or gossip sites.

In the old days, a press conference on the Blue star would have one reporter from BSTV, usually Jelly Simmons and some live streamers but now, it involved over twenty reporters of reputable medias and others of infamous websites.

For most journalists, this was their first chance to step into the most mysterious wing of the castle, the governor’s wing. Even though they only got to see the lobby, it was a highlight worth mentioning in their news.

They took pictures rigorously of themselves, recorded each small decoration, artifact and squealed when any of the pets walked by.

The white cat in particular was enjoying the game of showing off and it passed by every opportunity it got as the journalists waited for the governor to come down to the lobby.

When she eventually did, they snapped out of their dreamy states and started snapping pictures of her immediately. As always, Scarlet did not disappoint when it came to fashion. She was dressed in a long white dress with two gold buttons at the waist. Her slippers were gold, and her hair was decorated with gold pins.

"She is so beautiful."

"Does she always dress like this at home."

"I declare that the governor’s fashion tonight will be copied by all noble ladies tomorrow."

Their whispers, mumblings and mutterings were heard by her and she smiled.

A table, chairs and microphones had already been prepared for her and she sat down. Behind her, Fey and Precious sat down as well.

"Let’s begin." She said with a smile.

Most of the reporters raised their hands immediately and eagerly, seeming to have many questions to ask her.

"Err, you are all eager I see." she said. "First I will speak and then we can trade questions and answers.

This evening, at approximately two minutes past six, smoke was detected by some hunters in the forest. These hunters alerted the fire department and the RGB who rushed to the forest immediately to combat the rising flames.

I have been in contact with the fire department and I am told that the cause of the fire is unknown for now and

investigations are still on going. The biggest theory so far is that it was a wild fire started because of the intense heat from the two suns.

I know that many rumors are swirling and whispers about arson are making the rounds but I would like to ask the media to resist from joining others in spreading of false information. I assure you that there was no arson and I encourage the citizens to remain calm and cool headed.

The fire department will continue with it’s investigations, and we will continue to keep the public updated on any findings.

For those who were injured or incurred any loss as a result of the wild fire or the animals which run out of the forest because of the fire, I extend my sincerest sympathies to you. I hope that you will get well soon and, mmm, I will personally compensate you so you can file damage claims with the RGB, they will investigate of course and your names and how much you lost will be forwarded to me.

Lastly, a few animals died during this escapade and I have been told that citizens are hoarding and fighting over the meat. I want to make a strong reminder and sound a warning. Should you eat what is deadly or poisonous the governor’s mansion will not be held liable in any way.

If you picked up any animals, dead or alive visit the hunting center for identification or testing first.

I promise that we will not keep your meat, we will simply ensure that it’s healthy enough to be eaten.

Also keep in mind that the storage of live animals requires a special permit from the RGB. Anyone that picked up a live animal and intends to keep it as a pet should get that permit first.

That will be all, may the empire live long and prosper."

She took a deep breath, and then took a sip of the juice in the lime colored bottle which Fey had set down next to her.

"The governor will be answering your questions now, please be orderly." Fey stood up and took on the role of moderator, picking who got to ask a question.

Perhaps it was a bias or simply the familiarity of her face, Jelly was chosen first.

"Good evening lady governor, my question is simple. How certain are you that the cause of the fire is not arson?"

Scarlet almost rolled her eyes, did these people not study any other causes of fire or would they be satisfied only if the cause of the fire was something criminal.

"One hundred percent certain, I went to the forest myself and I checked." she answered confidently.

Another reporterFey picked asked, "This is the second fire on the Blue star only a few months after the first one. Do you think that response was handled appropriately?"

Scarlet replied, "The fire department was on the scene of the fire less than five minutes after it started and stopped it from traveling further in six minutes. To me, that is good response time."

"A few mutated beasts attacked during the fire. How safe is it for ordinary people to go into the forest?" another reporter asked.

"It is not advisable for ordinary people to trapeze into the forest without proper guidance which is why we put up all those safety warnings at the edges. You go in at your own risk." she answered.

"Will hunting continue under these circumstances?"

"Do you think that this will affect your plan for tourism?"

"Should other planets start fire fighting departments?" ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"How do you plan to prevent forest fires in future?"

"If someone picked up a live cow, goat or sheep, can they keep it as a pet?"

More and more questions were asked, unceasingly. The more she answered was the more eager they were to ask. Scarlet endured it all with a perfect smile on her face to reassure those who were watching at home.

"One more question, the governor needs to rest." Fey said.

Every reporter raised their hand, but only one could be picked and the lucky one was a young man in round horn rimmed glasses.

"Is this what you wear around your castle in the evenings?" he asked.

The other reporters were surprised and they looked at him with frowns on their faces. Out of dissatisfaction, some of them mumbled unpleasantly.

"Who called fashion reporters here?"

"This is a serious press conference."

"What a waste."

Scarlet on the other hand laughed, and told the young man who suddenly looked uncomfortable, "Thank you for your question. It’s always nice when you dress up and someone notices."

The young man blushed and bowed slightly, but awkwardly.

"En, I like being comfortable when I am at home and this is comfortable and light. Thank you all for coming, please pick up a pumpkin pie on your way out, have a blessed night."
