"The Rogan family is set to file a lawsuit against the association of mecha warriors for failing to save Samael Rogan in the last winter battle against the mutated beasts. They are claiming that carelessness and negligence of the mecha was the direct cause of his death and not an injury caused by a mutated beast."

Early in the morning when she was preparing breakfast for herself and her small family of three in their private wing, this was the news on every television.

The word law suit was becoming very common on the sun star empire lately and people were suing for everything, the minor and major.

Scarlet got on the phone with Mina who had been texting her on and off since six in the morning.

"Hey bestie." Mina was chipper and excited when she saw Scarlet's face on the video call.

"We said hi to each other in the morning, but hi, for the second time today." Scarlet replied and waved at Mina with her flour covered right hand.

"So, what's up? Can I come over for breakfast?"

The more Mina became familiar with Scarlet, the more her way of speaking to her changed. She was becoming more and more casual, which Mina's brother Zorl disdained even more.

"No, but I can send you something." Scarlet told her.

"Yippee, thank you bestie." Mina waved her fists around and smiled. "So, why the video call?"

"Have you seen the news?" Scarlet asked her.

"For five brief seconds before I switched it off." The other said. freewebnov(e)l

"So did you see the part about the Rogans suing the mecha warriors association? They have mentioned my husband specifically as one of those that are being accused of incompetence_" She rolled her eyes because Esong was not incompetent, especially not in battle. In fact, he was good at almost everything. He could be dull emotionally but that was his biggest flaw that she had observed.

"Okay, that's just crazy because the day the mecha king is listed as incompetent is the day mecha warriors cease to be useful. The Rogans are just panicking because their business is on a downward spiral."

"Hey, Mina, I wanted to ask you if anything like this has ever happened before. Has someone ever sued the mecha warriors?"

"Of course not, it's like suing a mutated beast for killing your loved one or suing a doctor failing to treat the darkness. The case will be thrown out because it's not a precedent the emperor, ministers or tribunals want to set. In fact, the people themselves will riot if this nonsense actually gets to see the light of day in a courtroom because which mecha warrior will save someone if their relatives can wake up and sue you if something goes wrong? Ignore all that my friend, this has only picked attention because it happens to be the Rogans. I bet they are paying for half of the publicity themselves. Don't worry your pretty head over such an inconsequential matter."

"Mmm, thanks for the information, and stop stealing my flower pots."

"Which flower pots, Mina mumbled. Oh my mother is calling me, bye-" she hung up without waiting for Scarlet to respond.

It had been on the tip of Scarlet's tongue to tell her friend that she had footage of her leaving the castle with a potted flower after dropping off a gift for herself and Justin yesterday in the morning.

'I will just send her the footage.' Scarlett thought.

She continued baking with the robot butler, making two different versions of cinnamon and chocolate donuts. One version was for the underworld and another was for her family.

There was a knock on the door of the kitchen and she looked at the entrance. Coral, was the one knocking and standing there nervously.

"What's the matter dear? Which of the guards played a joke on you today and frightened you?"

The girl had a weak heart and she was easily frightened which had resulted in a few of the castle guards playing pranks on her every now and then.

"The empress is here and she would like to meet you. Should I send her to your office or would you like to meet her in the living room?" the girl asked.

"Did she tell you why she wants to see me?"

"No, governor, she did not."?Coral shook her head energetically as if the words 'no' did not express her message enough.

"Is that why you are nervous?" Scarlet Scarlet asked her. "Did the empress scare you?"

"Yes." The girl nodded, "She is the empress!!!" Coral expressed in a voice filled with awe.

Scarlet laughed, 'Ah, I see.' she thought.

"Please bring her over, I will take a break and speak to her in the living room. Call Gertrude and tell her to come and prepare some tea and serve some of the cinnamon donuts to the empress."

"Yes governor."?Coral rushed out and Scarlet left the rest of the work to the robot butler.

Scarlet cleaned her hands, tidied her hair and took of her apron. If it had been any other visitor, she would have met them in the kitchen without a second thought but the empress was different.

"She is here." Alex told her.

"Alright." she answered.

She left the kitchen and arrived in the large living room at the same time with the empress.

"Scarlet dear," the empress called her name with a smile on her face.

Scarlet curtsied and bowed slightly, "Your highness." she said.

"Do not do things the traditional way when we are alone, you don't need to curtsy or bow." the empress told her.

"Yes your highness."

"And don't call me that when we are alone, just call me empress or Lady Vara, I insist on it." the empress added.

"Yes, your_, empress." she said with a small laugh. "Please sit down."

The empress chose one of the smaller white chairs in the room.

Scarlet sat in one of the bigger ones that was opposite of that one.?She crossed her legs and then uncrossed them. The, she tugged at her dress and looked at her hands when she was done with that.

"Do not be nervous dear, I am here to speak to you as a___, I am not sure if I should say friend, lady, or relation.?Frankly, I do not know what to call you when we are alone. I am sure that you have a few grudges against us for the way our palace handled things in the past." The empress leaned back against the soft comfortable chair and she looked at Scarlet seriously, waiting for her respond.

"I do not begrudge you personally empress, I am sure that the idea was not yours. Moreover, I was at fault in many ways. However, some good did come out of it all, wouldn't you say?"

"That can said to be true, you have turned this wasteland into a fruitful planet." The empress responded.

Gertrude and three maids came into the living room and served tea and the freshly baked donuts, bread and biscuits.

The empress mixed her own milk tea, adding only one spoon of sugar while Scarlet helped herself to a warm cup of cold chocolate milk.

After watching the empress take three sips of her tea, Scarlet finally asked what was on her mind.
