Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife



Time passed quickly and winter was coming to an end, only days of this horrid season were left on the countdown and the days of celebrating surviving the long winter were coming. It was not simply days, it was one whole month of celebrations and people were beginning to prepare for it. 

Markay was planning to return to the blue star for these celebrations; he had no intention of staying in the capital for them, after all his girlfriend was not here. Rather than sleep well and eat mediocre food, he wanted to be in the company of a loved one and eating whatever new recipe Scarlet had cooked up. 

At the moment, he was on the phone with Carolyn, discussing their plans for the New Year festival and survival celebration day. Survival celebration day as it was named was the first day of the new year and it was a day for sending off the dead, and then celebrating their lives. It was always followed up by heroes' day which was a day for burying and celebrating the mecha warriors and medical professionals or any brave person that had sacrificed their lives for another to live during the winter season. 

The third day was awards and renewal day, a day when the emperor rewarded those mecha warriors who stood out the most in the battles and all mecha warriors took another solemn oath to defend their empire again. 

On the fourth day, the permanently injured mecha warriors would be released, given compensation and resigned from their duties. They would lay down their uniforms, leave their mechas behind and fly home. 

After day four, the New Year celebrations would begin and they would go on until the new month started. During this time, workers could take time off and spend more time with their families, not huddled up inside but outside, in the spirit of celebration. Since most people spent three months not working, they opted to work during this month but work always ended early. During this month, the work of rebuilding started and the buildings which were dismantled during the battles in winter were repaired. 

Citizens that had been displaced were relocated, taken to new star planets or moved into shelters until new housing could be found them. 

Markay was explaining to Carolyn that he intended to spend the largest part of that month with her. 

"You are a prince," she replied, "Isn't your presence required at home during that time? Your father must have a lot of things to do during this time. You should stay behind and assist him." 

"What are the ministers for if not to help my father?" he replied. "I can work all the way from the blue star, we have holograms and virtual reality so if my presence in a meeting required then I can attend that way. I have missed you older sister, haven't you missed your cutie kitty Markay?" 

"Huh," Carolyn gasped, "Who told you that?" 

"He-he," Markay laughed, "I guess you didn't know that Elroy and I are very close friends now and that we share secrets. He said you call me your cutie kitty when you are alone. Haven't you missed your cutie, I want to come home. I am exhausted beyond reason and I need to see your pretty face." 

Carolyn would have argued back if she was not taken aback by his wording, "Home," she whispered with a soft look on her face. "You consider this your home?" she said in a questioning voice. 

"Of course, home is wherever you are." He replied confidently. "Don't you know that by now?" 

She blushed and touched her cheeks, she did not intend to let him know just how affected she was by his reference that home was wherever she was. She always worried that if their relationship did become serious he might ask her to move to the capital. This meant that both of them might not have to move. 

"Are you sure that your family will be okay with all this?" she asked him. 

"My family loves you, my mother can't wait to meet you and my sisters are obsessed with all the things you craft. I think they might love you even more than they love more, the other day I caught a glimpse of my mother's terminal and she is using the picture I took of you in the factory as a screen saver. "

"Really?" Carolyn's lit up. Did this mean the empress was happy was with their match? Everyone knew that when it came to the marriages of the princes and princesses if the empress did not approve, it was a waste of time to be involved with them. 

"Baby, trust my words." He said sincerely. 

"I told you not to call me that." She mumbled. "It's so embarrassing when you call me baby yet I am older than you. Scarlet calls Justin baby all the time in that now, anytime someone says baby in the house, he replies instantaneously."

"That's their problem, not ours. I call you baby because you are my baby." He replied with a shrug and unbothered look on his face. "By the way, have you decided on the next step after I return?" 

"What next step?" she blushed and looked away, staring at the walls while wishing she wishing she could bury her head in them. It was obvious what he was talking about. 

"Come on baby, you know I want you, we have started weaning off the suppressants which keep our libidos low in the three months of winter. But you know what happens in the week that follows; we are like beasts being released into the wild to feast. Are you really going to allow me to suffer through that period alone?"

For all mecha warriors, they were given a suppressant shot which kept their libidos low and toned down any sexual desire so that they could fully concentrate on the battle with mutated beasts. This enabled them not to be distracted by such urges in that time period. The only side effect of the suppressant was that once it started to wear off towards the end of the three months, the mecha warrior's temperature would rise and they would experience an increase in their libido, twice the normal rate. 

Markay was right to refer to them as beasts being released into the wild because they did not stop until the urge died down, which was usually a period of one to two weeks and then they would be normal again. 

Normally, his mother would assign him a special maid for this task but now that he had a girlfriend, it did not feel right at all to employ the services of such a maid. 

"Baby," he whined. 

"Can we discuss this when you return?" she raised her head and asked him. Despite being intimate, they had not completed the union. 

"You are killing me woman," he groaned. 

Scarlet wanted to talk to her sister but when she peeped into her bedroom and saw her blushing as she spoke to Markay, she closed the door and walked away. "Increased libido!!" she thought as she left, is this why Esong kept her pictures that were purely thirst traps?
