Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife

Chapter 228 Adler, Sweetie

?

"She has been reading this book from the ancient earth which is all about superstitions and beliefs. Some of our ancestors believed that a name could bring fortune or misery to an individual. That's why they gave children names like Hope, Blessing, Charity, Beauty and other things like that. I on the other hand named my daughter a demon. Maybe, she was possessed, who knows?" Mega continued with a very deep thoughtful look on her face. 

Cecily frowned even harder and shook her head. "I think you are reading too much into this, she was sick and she is healed, simple. You should be grateful for it and spinning crazy theories in your mind. Remember not everyone here is religious, if you say such a thing, they will think you are mentally ill." All this talk about possession was nonsense. She took Justin his breakfast.

But Mega still couldn't help thinking to herself that she never once saw her daughter take any medicine for her mythical illness. How could she dismiss Carolyn's wild theory so simply in that case and Scarlet's teacher was the one who taught her about deities, maybe he really did see something weird about her daughter before he healed her. 

"So, what will you name your daughter?" Cecily asked Mega. "You must have a short list of choices I am sure."

"Ila or Isabelle, both good names, I will go by the temple and ask priest Fion for an opinion." she replied. 

"Justin and I will go with go with you, we should light some incense and be thankful for Esong's safe return." Cecily said too. 

The women made plans for the day, even adding lunch plans and an evening tea party. 

At the offices of the ministry of defense, Adler was engaged in a very joyful conversation with Beord in his office. They were laughing while they sipped milk tea and enjoyed a light breakfast. This was part of their usual routine, Beord always came over breakfast if they did not eat from home. 

This breakfast was eaten in the command center of the offices, a large monitoring room which had many screens that showed footage of the outer space beyond the shields and all the boundaries.

In this season, while the brothers ate, they would also watch mutated beasts attempt to break through the shield and fail. Just like right now, at this very moment, some very large beasts were banging their bodies against the shields which sent out strong electric like waves, shocking their bodies in return. 

Beord suddenly asked Adler, "Where do you suppose they come, those beasts?"

"Sister said there are cracks somewhere either in space or the ground which is what her teacher said." Adler replied. 

"Wouldn't we have seen those cracks in that case?" Beord asked. 

"Have you ever seen any of us venture out there in the winter? Not even the mecha warriors go beyond the shield if not necessary, even the guilds know not to venture too deep in the hunting zones. How are we supposed to find said cracks if we are hiding in here during the time those cracks open up? We should share this with the mecha warriors and go out and look for them." Adler had thought things over and over again ever since his sister shared that theory with him. 

"I would keep those ideas to yourself brother because a lot of people will die if we have to venture outside during the winter in search of those cracks. It would be a suicide mission. Not only will you be called insane if you share these thoughts but the ministers will call for your head because half of their descendants are mecha warriors." Beord was not a coward but he knew well what the consequences of such a mission would be. He noticed a red light beeping on one of the terminals so he pointed to it. "What's that?" he asked. 

Adler saw it too, and he frowned. "An attempt to be contacted by an official space ship in distress." Since only the two of them were in the office at the moment, Adler responded to the distress call. 

"This is minister Adler Su, head of the blue star internal security state your_" 

"Adler, is that you sweetie?" a female voice interrupted him and said, with a drawl. 

Adler switched off the communication immediately, that voice was one he was unwilling to listen to it seemed, however the beeping persisted. 

Confused, Beord looked at his brother and raised one eyebrow, his eyes portrayed curiosity and the smile on his face was begging for an explanation of his brother's sudden actions. Who was the woman on the other end of the call?

"An official ship is in distress, brother, it cannot be ignored." Beord said slowly and he swiped his finger, restarting the call Adler ended. "This is Beord Su, head of communications on_" 

"Hey Beord, put my sweetie back on please, this is Amara Leopold, RGB officer identification badge SSC7560, currently in pursuit of space pirates that have activated the emergency inter star planet tower transportation and are heading your way. We will all be landing on your planet in less than five minutes, the space pirates in four because they are ahead of me. I am on a solo mission so I am requesting for back up, be warned, the pirates are armed and they have killed twenty people so far today and injured many more. They cannot be allowed to escape, I repeat, they cannot be allowed to escape." 

Adler immediately sent an alarm to the RGB immediately, while Beord got on his phone and alerted captain Vangar about the danger which was heading their way. 

Those pirates had to be crazy, the inter star planet tower transportation was a long gravity tube that connected all the seven planets of the sun star allowing mecha warriors to make emergency landings in case a planet was in distress. The tower however was very unstable, still under trial and chances of successfully making it through were only at sixty percent. There was a big chance that those who used it would come out on the other end as dead bodies. 

Even the space ships did not come out undamaged, they were banged up and in need of repair after the trip. 

The officers of the RGB were dealing with citizens who had been arrested for malicious slandering online when an alert in the building and an order to suit up and carry their arms went out. 

Shoot to kill drones were activated, instructions were given and the offices were deployed. Their orders, were to give out one warning and then shoot to kill.

Blue star citizens were walking around freely, at work, or relaxed in their houses when an alert went out on their bracelet terminals telling them that space pirates were almost here so they should stay indoors or find the nearest bunkers or safety shelters until further notice. 

Suddenly, panic ensued with people running in different directions while screaming. Fear set in, urging them to find the nearest safest place. 

"What now?" Mega asked as she, Justin and Cecily were ushered back inside the castle by their guards. 

"Space pirates." Tion answered, he looked at another castle guard and said, "Tell everyone to grab their weapons and suit up,"
