章 40: Esong is coming
Dorian Su looked unsure over his daughter's housing preferences. Even the nobles in the capital city were desperate to live in the center. It was usually the most developed, most beautiful and most protected area. Why did his daughter think otherwise?
"Are you steadfast in this decision?" he asked her.
"Yes father." she replied.
Dorian sighed and said, "In that case, the rest of the important buildings will be brought closer to you."
Again, Scarlet disagreed. "It's not necessary father, my plan is to turn the entire Blue star into a world others are desperate to visit because of it's beauty and unique features. I want every city to have it's unique features.
In the cities we should have districts with each district having a reason for people to settle down there or simply tour. If all important buildings are moved here then someone who would pay money in many different areas of the planet will only pay money here in this one city, see everything in a day or two and then leave. Economically, that would not be a wise decision."
Dorian looked at his daughter and then he looked at the maps. She seemed to have more money making and development schemes in her head than he did. Allowing her to take lead in this was the better choice.
"So what do you want to do?" he asked her.
"I want to build a governor's castle instead of a mansion. It must have the outer ring and the inner ring. I will live in the inner ring while the outer ring will house castle servants quarters, stables, gardens and other tourism areas.
It should also have some rooms for those who wish to experience a night in the castle.
It should have bath houses like the ancient Roman ones...."
"My dear daughter, you are going to have to show me a picture of this castle and explain what an ancient Roman bath house is because neither I nor any of these men know what that is. The good thing is that whatever you want constructed, I am positive that in two months it will be finished."
Scarlet had already prepared pictures of castles which she plucked out of a book. that was in her storage space. Two of the pictures were from children's animated books. The best and most detailed picture she had was of a castle in Spain.
"Why are they all pointy shaped?" her father asked.
"I don't know, teacher did not explain that reason." she answered.
"What kind of building materials did they use and why is this one so colorful and childish?" he asked her questions about each castle.
The other builders had also gathered around and all of them were fascinated by the images. These were not structures any of them had ever seen.
"Dad, the opposite end of the highland should house a temple." she suggested.
"What is a temple?" Dorian asked.
While all this planning was going on, in a private three hundred level sky scrapper that was owned by the Carlzon family, two young men were on their knees in front of an older man. The older man had blackish grey hair and he was dressed in green armor. He was the current Duke Carlzon and the young men on their knees in front of him were his sons Tion and Fion.
He could have been color coordinating because the seat he occupied was similarly green in color to the shiny armor he adorned. In his hands was a sparkly glass with a red liquid which he was twirling around. There was a look of disappointment on his face as he looked down at the two young men.
"Do you know how humiliating it will be when other nobles hear that two of my sons have chosen to move to the Blue star? I can understand Fion wanting to move there because all he does is wonder from one planet to the next but you Tion, I always assumed that you were wiser than your foolish brother."
"I am sorry to disappoint you father." Tion replied.
"Why do you want to leave?" Duke Carlzon addressed only Tion. He cared little about where Fion went.
Tion looked at him and answered, "I was injured in the battle against the Luna Federation ten years ago. My mental strength has permanently regressed to a point where I can no longer operate a mecha.
Everyone in this family knows this and that's why I have been facing humiliations and mockery lately. I do not wish to stay in this place anymore, I need to go before the darkness takes control of me."
"Real men overcome such petty weaknesses, I never raised you to be a weakling." Duke Carlzon told Tion. "Both of you, leave my presence." he dismissed his sons.
Tion and Fion bowed before leaving, "Be well father." Tion said.
With very little luggage on their backs, the two brothers and their families ignored the scorning looks in the eyes of some members of their large extended family, they got into a space ship and left without looking back.
Also leaving the Sun star and heading to the Blue star at that very moment was another space ship which was carrying two very excited agricultural researchers Otis and Bell. With them was Cedric, Ian , Folsom, Dez and leading the crew was none other than Esong Wu.
A last minute addition to this group was Markay Wu who was coming for the food and nothing but the food. Markay was sitting close to Esong and both of them were engaged in a game of chess.
"Does she know that you are coming brother?" Markay asked Esong.
"Do I have to report my movements to her, the planet was gifted to both of us. I have as much ownership over it as she does." Esong answered.
Markay looked at Esong and he smiled mischievously, "Maybe you should settle this age long debate for me. Do you hate your wife or not because from where I am standing you are trying to help her. That tells me you do not hate her."
Esong smiled mysteriously and he refused to reply. Instead, he sent a message to Scarlet.
"I am coming."
