Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 406: Whispers of treason

After the news drone passed by, a team of two women and one man, Zordins, approached them.

With extravagant smiles on their faces which exposed teeth and made their eyes pop, they stood in front of Scarlet and her siblings. Their hands were folded humbly at the front.

The smiles looked forced and abnormal, like those hiding craziness beneath the surface.

Nothing freaky about this, Scarlet thought. frёeωebɳovel.com

"Welcome to planet Zord, dear guests." one the women said in a cheerful voice.

She sounded like a cartoon character with the high excited pitch of her voice. In Scarlet’s opinion, with the woman’s hairstyle, she also resembled a cartoon. Why did they style their upwards as if it was a birds nest?

"Thank you." The three siblings responded, one after the other.

"You have a beautiful planet." Scarlet added.

Adler who was sure that Scarlet did not mean what she said tilted his head and looked at her in dismay.

She was really good at telling lies and sounding extremely sincere when she did.

"Thank you." The unaware woman responded, "Zord has been voted as the number five most beautiful planet in the alliance of the intergalactic federation."

Interested in this very new information, Scarlet raised her eyebrows in surprise. That was very new to her, how come she did not know this. The Sun star was part of the alliance of the intergalactic federation but she had not read much on the subject.

"We are third." Adler volunteered this information to her.

"Who is number one?" Scarlet asked curiously.

"Solaris." Three people responded at the same time.

Adler, Fey and the woman leading the greeting team.

They also gave looks of perplexity to Scarlet. How did she not know this. they wondered. It was common knowledge.

"Oh, it had slipped my mind." She lied. To cover the lie and change the subject she took a step forward, and others followed.

"Do you by any chance have food on your planet? I have heard that the Xenoans want to trade with your planet as well."

She figured that as long as she raised an interesting topic, everything to do with Solaris would be forgotten.

"We do have plants and farms here, the land is not the most fertile but we do grow enough to feed ourselves." The woman answered.

"What kind of things do you grow?" Scarlet asked her.

"Barley, wheat, peas, clover. We have heard that the Sun star is making a positive recovery in the agricultural industry. It’s one of the reasons why we asked the Xenoans to arrange for this new alliance meeting here. You should know that food is an important resource to us all, no matter which planet we hail from. I personally hope that we will be able to come to a mutually beneficial agreement on this issue."

As she spoke, the woman seemed to be addressing Scarlet directly, almost as if she knew that she was responsible for the success in the return of food to the sun star.

"Well, that will be left up to our leaders." Adler said.

"Sure." The overly eager smile returned to woman’s face. "But, princess Carana has said so much about you governor Scarlet. She says that you could have a bigger say in the food trade than anyone else in your delegation."

Before Scarlet could ask the woman why princess Carana was involved in this, Adler responded first.

"Like I said, it is up to the leaders." he emphasized. "We follow the direction of the emperor just as you follow the direction of your emperor."

They had arrived at the convoy of flying cars which would be taking them to their hotel. The woman and her companions stepped aside, allowing Scarlet and the others to board.

"We are going to have to part ways here. I will see you at the welcoming dinner tonight." The woman said.

"You did not tell me your name." Scarlet mentioned just before she entered the car.

"Oh, I apologize for that, it was a momentary slip. My name is Dinara, Lady Dinara Grisha, ZGB agent of the first class. During your stay here, I am personally responsible for your safety and wellbeing."

Aah, so a noble woman, Scarlet thought.

"We will put ourselves in your care then." she replied.

Dinara stepped aside, Scarlet got into the car, and it set off immediately.

It was s elf driving, or flying car with no driver and a preset destination that they could all see on the computer monitors which made up the dashboard.

Vosky grand hotel, was the name of the destination they were heading to.

This planet had it’s own internet link named Zorlink, a temporary password had been given to all the visitors granting them access to Zorlink.

Scarlet did not want to connect her terminal to any strange networks. Who knew what would attempt to piggyback off it when she logged out?

"Hey Alex, can you tap into their network and poke around." she told her AI.

If Maddox was the genius she thought him to be, Alex would not be caught.

"Yes mistress."

"Hey," Adler tugged on her arm and she turned her whole body back to face him.

"Yes, my big brother." she replied playfully.

"Be careful." he told her seriously.

"With what?" she asked.

Adler looked at Fey and they both looked at her, worry etched onto their faces.

"That woman, Dinara, watch what you say to her. The RGB agents who came with us did not come here to simply ensue our safety, the mecha warriors can do that. They came to detect treasonous intentions among those of us who have come for the trip.

When empires mix, there is no lack of trial for bribing one to become a spy or to build a base for another empire inside of a different nation. And then there is the trading of information on military, economic, civil, royal and other affairs.

We are going to be watched heavily, every step that we take will be scrutinized. All emperors are paranoid, it comes with the territory and ours is no different. Whatever praises Dinara lavishes on you, attribute the success to the emperor.

Do not make any hidden deals or promises. Sister, keep in mind that whispers of treason do not affect you as an individual, they bury an entire family."
