Chapter 277 Brother, you might be a jerk

Scarlet was sure that this was not a conversation these two needed to be having in such a public place. For one, anybody could walk in on them and eavesdrop just as she was doing and two, they were blocking the entrance. It was wide enough for at least ten people to go through at the same time but they were standing right in the middle which made it awkward for her, especially because she had somehow gone closer to them than she intended.

"Oh boy," she thought in her mind. "I should cough or something."

"I apologized when_"

"No-" Amara shouted loudly and she raised her hands to her face in a frustrated gesture and Scarlet was completely unsure if she was going to cry or scream.

"You guys, excuse me." Scarlet shouted as well, in a voice that came out louder than she intended.

She startled the two who probably preparing to have a big blowout and ended up choking on her own saliva. Which was weird to her because her throat was dry as well, and she was feeling parched.

"Sister, when did you get here?" Adler asked her. He also stepped back, away from Amara.

She scoffed, shook her head and gave Adler the middle finger, flipping him off before walking away from both siblings without acknowledging Scarlet.

"I don\'t think she likes me much." Scarlet said after a while.

"She has a small misunderstanding about a few things which I will clear up. I am sure that you two will make great friends." Adler answered.

Scarlet looked at the light filled room with all the christmas decorations which were indicators of a happy environment and she thought about the two who had been arguing. There was nothing merry about their actions.

"Are you going to the Evergreen football field?" Adler asked her.

"Yes, for the carols, are you heading that way too?" she asked him.

"Yes." he answered. "Let\'s go together."

The siblings walked to Scarlet\'s car and the convoy of four vehicles set off for the football field.

Adler was looking out of the rolled up window, and his eyes were closed. There were frown lines on his forehead as he intensely thought about something that was making him deeply sad.

While in the car, Scarlet\'s curiosities got the best of her and she asked him, "Did you really not say goodbye to her?"

He turned his head in her direction and looked at her with heavy unsure eyes. "I told her what I was planning to do and that it would be best if we ended our relationship, for both of our sakes." he answered.

"That is not what I am asking brother, what I want to know is if you said goodbye and not if you broke up with her. Did you really not give her the chance to make a choice? If you did that, you might be a jerk."

He laughed softly and said, "When we landed on this planet back then, as hellish as it was, you spent days holed up in your tiny room that had holes which needed fixing. You and mother cried all the time. We were starving and three people had to share one nutrient solution. And when it rained, we huddled together in an old mecha that barely contained us all. We barely survived with our lives that first winter. Tell me if you think that she would have been happy here."

No matter what he said, he was sad and she saw that. She took his hand, and held it in hers, sqeezing it as a way of saying, \'It\'s okay, I am here.\'

"If she loved you as much as she says she did, maybe she would have been happy."

"I know Amara even better than she knows herself, trust me she would not have been happy. To her, killing her career is the same as killing her and there was no RGB on the Blue star back then so it would have been the equivalent of killing her career. She would have grown to resent me after a while. Eventually, she would have returned to her life because there would be nothing but an empty shell here for her. I made the best decision for both of us, even if she doesn\'t see it that way." Adler looked out of the window again, indicating that he was done talking about this for now and she respected that even thought there was much she still wanted to say.

They arrived at the Evergreen fields and Scarlet was escorted to her special seat, next to Esong, the empress and Markay.

Justin was sitting close by with the rest of the family. It seemed, she had been the last to arrive, late by a minute which had her mother glancing at her with disapproval.

"Again!!" Fey mouthed.

Carolyn laughed and Scarlet shrugged.

She looked around and noticed that their visitors were here as well, and reporter Jelly had finally got her opportunity to interview princess Carana which she was doing right now.

A large arm turned her around and forced her to face forward but she tilted her head to the right to look at the owner of the arm. "Hello my wife."

"Husband." she acknowledged him with one nod of her head and one word.

"Tch," he responded.

As always, the crowds, the royals and everything was being shown on large screens in the field and on BSTV live.

Both of them had a few very loud cheers and looked up. Scarlet was expecting to see herself and Esong on the screen but she saw a face which annoyed her.

"Why is captain Jacks here?" she asked him.

"He came with my father and siblings an hour ago. They are sitting over there." He turned her head in the direction of ministers and their families. "One hour here and already the women are happy. Those cursed pretty looks of his are going to cause big trouble one day."

"You never mentioned that he had dimples when he smiled." Scarlet mentioned.

Esong frowned at the screen, willing it to move away from captain Jacks before his wife forgot that she hated him and ended up being drawn in by his looks.

"He is the resident king of promiscuity in the our headquarters, don\'t look, you might catch the bug." he told her.

She chuckled, because promiscuity could not be transmitted with a look.

"You look wonderful dear." On her other side, the empress tapped her arm and whispered.

"Thank you." she replied with a smile. "You look lovely as well your majesty, I am happy to see you wearing a gown like all of us."

"I am told that it\'s the Blue star tradition to wear beautiful gowns on official occasions." the empress answered. "I was not told how extravagant the gowns could be or how much red would be incorporated into them."

The women wore a mixture of Victorian style gowns and modern day gowns. Most of them were red to match the christmas theme. The Santa hats were an additional bonus. For the rich, the hats had jewels attached to the fluffy ball at the tip. Even the children were dressed up to the nines.

"Yeah, I was not expecting the women to be so enthusiastic about it."

Blad stepped on the center and started speaking, and the singing of christmas carols officially started.
