She watched the team going after the arsonist fading away before looking at her brother Adler seriously. It seemed, they had something to talk about.
So, she drew in one big breath and thought to herself, 'Let's have it.' "Are you going to talk about your recent attitude towards my husband brother, or do I have to tickle it out of you?"
Adler gave her an angry gaze, one that worried her and caused her heart to drop. She had only seen this angry side of him towards her when she had just taken possession of Scarlet's body. It made her uncomfortable, being stared at with this deep anger. Unconsciously, without realizing what she was doing, Scarlet rubbed her hand across her chest, over her heart, then she looked down at her hand and stopped.
"Not now," he replied.
"I can't take the anxiety brother, I am unwilling to wait until later to find out what exactly is wrong. Did Esong offend you? Or was it me? Have I done something that caused your ire?"
"It's not urgent." He insisted, "It can wait."
"Do you remember what you all told me to do when he was coming here?" Scarlet could not stand to see him breaking down like this still. "Everyone told me to suck it up, smile and be extremely nice and welcoming to him. Basically, I was to say yes to everything he wanted while doing my best not to anger him."
Adler gripped her hands tightly and shook his head, "Not this Scarlet, not this way. This is not what we meant, I will not allow him to use you like one of those..." he broke off and punched the car seat.
"That contract is not me being used, its me taking control of a bad situation. It's my way of apologizing to him, righting my wrongs and ensuring that my son, I and our family is safe, together and stable. With Esong by my side his mother will not be able to take Justin, with his support the royal family is now on good terms with us. With him by my side this planet is ours and all those who would seek to take it from us are terrified. I proposed the contract brother, not him." She admitted that last part because she did ask him to sleep with her first.
"What kind of crazy talk.." Adler looked at her with disbelief on his face.
"I am not your princess anymore." She blurted out. Then she placed her hand in Adler's and repeated her words, "I am not your little princess anymore, the one you promised to protect all your life. That is what I used to be when we were young but no more, I am Esong's wife now. We have grown up brother, you cannot always be my hero with your mighty sword simply waiting to slay all my dragons. There are things in my life that I have to handle on my own without running to hide under your wings for protection. When you get married someday you will understand that the relationship between a husband and wife can be complicated. The smiles you have seen Esong give me are genuine, he holds my hand whether we are in public or private. He does not force intimacy on me and he dedicates his time to training me even though he does not need to. There was a space between us which was filled with hatred, rage and suspicion, we have filled that space with friendship and companionship. I do not need to hear a confession of love from that man today, what we have right now is good enough for the start. What I need from Esong the most right now is to know that he will have my back for the next two hundred seventy two years of my life."
Adler was still hesitant, shaking his head in refusal to buy what she was saying.
"I have made my peace with it brother, if you love me, do the same. We have bigger problems right now like the loss of food in the fire. I need to know how much we have lost and how it will affect us. There are a few men who failed to pass the RGB test but they can be recruited as fire fighters. I need to you to gather them right now and we can move forward from there."
"We are not done talking about this."
"Yes we are." she grabbed his arm, "Get the men and come to the castle grounds."
