Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 377: I seduced my wife

Mega froze a little when Esong called him mother as well, following Markey’s lead. He had not done it before so why start now? What was wrong with these two? Still that was not the main issue which had brought her out of the safety of her seat to speak candidly with Esong.

She acknowledged Markay with a polite smile and tapped his shoulder and then her attention turned to Esong.

"Eh, so, I need to talk to you alone for a while, it’s important. " She told him.

Without being told what to do, Markay stood up and made himself scarce. He knew that they would use a sound barrier but the idea of privacy would be cemented even more if it was just the two of them.

Esong erected the sound barrier immediately and Mega sat down where Markey had been.

"I will be direct about this and as honest as I can be. How much do you know about your initial meeting with my daughter?" She tried to be as polite about it as she could be.

Confused, Esong asked her, "The very first time I met her?"

"Yes," she confirmed.

"Everything." He replied calmly.

She was surprised on the inside but she tried not to let it show on the outside. Instead, she went on to ask him, "Did she tell you or did you find out on your own about Reya Marley’s little role that she played in that drug..er..meeting?" She almost called it a drugging because that’s what it was.

"She confessed the whole thing to me last night." He answered.

Mega bit her upper lip and tapped her right foot on the floor of the space ship nervously. Why was Scarlet making confessions as if she was on trial?

"What are your intentions? Will you be using the information to annul your marriage? Do you want to press charges against her? Of course I hope that you have forgiven and absolved her of her less than colorful past. I am not dismissing the wrong she committed against you and I will understand if you are angry, you have every right to be. Honestly I don’t know what to do to make up for what you suffered after and how trapped you felt. My husband and I apologized but I know no apologies will ever rewrite the past." She took a deep breath and sighed loudly.

He could see that she was struggling with it, filled with shame and remorse just as Scarlet had been when she told him the truth about everything. But he was not angry anymore, he had made his peace with the circumstances and he was actually glad now that of all the women in the empire, he married her. Of all the things she said, one word that he hated the most stood out, ’divorce’.

"Mother, I would be crazy to divorce my wife now over something that happened many years ago. We have a wonderful life and beautiful family, I come home everyday to an excited big hug and a hot meal. Then we teach Justin a few things, play with him and watch television as I talk about my day. She listens to me, advises me, teaches me about mutated beasts I never knew and we do many other things together. I have warmth and peace which I never had when I was growing up or in all of my years fighting wars or commanding warriors. I would never give up my life now or my wife for anything."

Satisfied and joyful at his answer, a smile bloomed on Mega’s face like a sun flower. "I taught her well." She said, praising herself again. She also said a thank you to Scarlet’s mysterious teacher that brought all the positive changes.

"But, you know the situation with the Marley’s now and my worry is that if they are bold enough then they could try to bring up this issue if all else fails. What will you do if that happens?" She continued.

Without thinking twice, Esong said, "If anybody asks, I seduced my wife when I was weaning off of the suppressants. It was heat week, I went out to drink and she was a willing bed partner. It’s not a rosy story but it will work."

Mega squealed and quickly covered her mouth to stop herself from further expressing her excitement loudly. Aah, what a wonderful son-in-law she had got! Everyone knew that mecha warriors could not control their sexual urges in that week. Nobody would ever point a finger at Scarlet again accusing her of using underhanded means to trap the mecha king. In fact, they could push the propaganda further by making a movie about this new fake meeting. Scarlet did say that propaganda through movies was the best way to confuse the masses, especially if it was beautified. However, one thought crossed her mind and made her frown.

"Your mother.." she said to Esong worriedly. Every other member of the Wu family and royal family that was in the know would jump on board with this idea because it was an in-house secret but Emory was not among those people. She abhorred Scarlet too much and desired to control Esong a lot that she would not pass up the opportunity to tarnish Scarlet’s name to further her own agenda.

"Don’t worry about my mother, my father says that she mysteriously lost the use of her voice. Even the doctors are puzzled because nothing seems to be wrong but she simply cannot speak anymore." He told her.

The Su’s in the capital were not aware of this fact because Scarlet never shared it with them and no member of their family had visited Emory in the hospital.

"What about her bracelet terminal, or the virtual world. She can still communicate in the virtual world or using thought to speech devices." She could mention many other ways of communicating that worried her but these were the main ones.

"Her bracelet terminal was temporarily confiscated by my grandmother, and so was her phone and all tablets, hologram projectors, virtual world devices. She is on permanent bed rest with no unnecessary distractions." He explained.

Mega chuckled and kind of felt sorry for Emory because it sounded like she was almost living like a prisoner. But she deserved it and it was better for all of them if she remained dumb for the time being. At least until this plagiarism scandal blew over.

"What else have you planned in case the Marley’s drag my wife into this?" Esong asked her.

He had seen them all talking and once she raised this issue with him, he had a feeling that it was the major topic of conversation. All over the news since morning, Reya’s plagiarism was all that was being covered. The last time he checked, more witnesses had come forward telling their own stories about how she plagiarized their work, under paid them for their drafts or stole their creations and destroyed them. Others were accusing her of tarnishing their reputations in the industry or side lining them using the influence of her Marley family. It was shaping out to be the worst plagiarism scandal in the empire. Reya Marley would become a case in point among all mecha crafting schools and law schools. Her fame would last for thousands of years and he did not want his wife associated with her.
