The unwanted guests are here

Christmas was here, the day for celebrations and festivities and for Scarlet, it should have been one filled with excitement. But instead, she was standing outside the space landing port with the three ministers of the Blue star, Markay and her husband as they waited for the Xenoan ship to land on their planet. 

She had barely processed the news shared by Markey when the emperor called as early as four in the morning to share the news that she would be playing host to the guests who would be coming with the empress. 

So, here she was, standing miserably under an umbrella in the glaring hot sun which had returned with a hateful vengeance after winter. What made her miserable was the fact that the Xenoans were late. That, and the inappropriate way Princess Floozy was dressed. She had joined the welcoming committee which no one objected to since these were her people but the way she was dressed was causing discomfort and embarrassment.
