Capítulo 42: Ch 36 - Lady Isabella (Part 2)
At this point, even I am amazed how much this guy could lie.
Not even once did offer to help us or James over there. He is only fixated to help his nephew and shoulder all the blame to Bellos who actually risked his life to save us.
Lady Isabella was not buying old fart William's crap anyway,
"Listen, William, I just got word through the healer surgeon who told me that a young brat's arm was severed with mana. They found traces of the electricity element being used to chop his arms, which I believe is quite a rare element aboard this train. You mentioned that young rail guard Rayzer meant to just give them a scare, so chopping the arm of a fellow young candidate and then threatening to kill the rest of the candidates doesn't count as just a little scare."
William was still adamant,
"I will thoroughly investigate and get to the bottom of this matter, to see what happened here. Just leave this matter to me and I will-"
"Enough! I will seek the answers myself," saying so the woman then stretched her hand into the air.
"My lady?" mumbled dumb-founded William.
In the next second the room started glowing with a light blue tint.
The jewel in the scepter also started glowing in its response. In the next second, there was a blue light glow to the entire corridor. Also, magic runes started appearing on the walls which later covered the entire corridor.
Even old fart William seemed to notice something and started sweating like a pig.
After the runes covered the entire corridor, lady Isabella waved her hand in the air, weaving magic runes in the air. She created a structure of circular text which later then started reacting and started absorbing the other runes present in the corridor. The entire runes which mysteriously appeared in the corridor got pulled and absorbed in the runes written by Madam Isabella.
After just a minute, her rune text managed to absorb all the other runes and started glowing.
The next second she grabbed her own rune and just embraced it. The rune just disappeared with her body or more like absorbed.
In the next second Isabella just stood in the embracing position standing still.
She stayed still like that for a few seconds before opening her eyes.
This time her brows were knitted and her expression was one of fury.
She glared at uncle William and then glared at Rayzer.
Uncle William just bowed his head,
"I am truly sorry, my lady. I shouldn't have lied to you. I shall take all the blame, please forgive me."
From the lady's expression and the mystic arts she performed before, I think she understood everything that happened here. No wonder she looked enraged.
"You think a mere apology is enough. I could overlook the fact that you brought your nephew the job of the rail guard through your connections with the committee. But I never thought you will also try to cover up his crimes. I am really disappointed." she said with a condescending look.
William this time just hung his head low without saying a word.
Finally, he was out of excuses, thankfully.
"That's it!" Suddenly Rayzer shouted, "I quit! I can't deal with this annoying crap as being the rail guard anyways. Keep your time chamber training to yourself! Just let me off these chains, my arms are going numb. Just because you were promoted as the chieftain to oversee the ceremony train doesn't give you the right to boss us around. At first, I could tolerate this, but how long should a young noble like me should lower ourselves to serve these lowly peasants."
Wow, this lightning maniac has no fucking chill.
He wasn't even scared of lady Isabella, shouting his arse off like that.
Although uncle William was a terrible person, at least he was still making efforts to save his nephew's skin. Now he just had to mess up all the hard work he did. Well good for us, anyway. The more these two piss the lady here, the better.
Hearing that, Lady Isabella gave a cold stare.
Uncle William just got cold sweat as he looked at Rayzer with horrified eyes.
"Do I have to stake our pride as the young Maverick lord to just utilize the time chamber to get more training? Of course not, this is beneath me," added Rayzer.
"It seems the house of Maverick would like to relinquish their right to use the time chamber of the Ceremony train," said Isabella giving a cold stare.
"My lady!" cut in William, "This young lad might have hit his head a bit hard. Please don't mind his ramblings, he doesn't know what he is talking-"
William still didn't falter,
"Uncle! You don't have to lower yourself for me in front of this whore. Just because she was promoted to be the chieftain of this train, doesn't give her the right to boss us nobility around. Her husband was nothing but a coward who ran away from the battlefield with his tail between his legs, tch. And she still pretends to be-"
Lady Isabella was fuming with fury as she lifted the glowing scepter in her hand.
"You-"
But before she could do anything, Uncle William stepped forward and covered himself with a suit of mana. In the next instant, his entire body turned into gold. His hair, his eyes, and even the clothes over his body had turned into gold.
Was this old fart William's ability?
He stood in front of furious lady Isabella.
Wow, another epic showdown between a boss lady and old fart William.
Fuck, I should go look for a cover, otherwise, I might end up as collateral damage.
There was a stare-off between Lady Isabella and Manager William.
"You really think you can challenge me, Mr. William's?" she asked as her sound resonated in the entire corridor.
It felt like the entire corridor itself was speaking and her voice had merged with the train itself.
The whole corridor felt like it was wiggling like it was alive.
William lowered his head,
"Forgive me."
Saying so, William cupped his golden fist and threw it with all his might.
But to our surprise, this fist was aimed at Rayzer who was lying on the ground tied in chains.
The next second there was a loud blast and splinters of rubble went flying all around. The punch was powerful enough that it even managed to destroy the lower floors, maybe all the way to the ground. The entire carriage shook as if there was a fucking earthquake.
The candidates who were passed out on the floor were just rolling on the ground over their piss and shit. Those that were conscious just left themselves up to fate. They were traumatized to the point they don't even care.
Thankfully Lady Isabella was kind enough to cast a barrier to save us candidates from stray rubbles that flew all around.
The dust finally settled all there was left as William had turned back himself to normal looking at his bloody fist. He looked a bit sad for a second before straightening up. He quickly lowered his head and got on his knees.
Even Isabella who was furious a moment ago was surprised by this sudden change of personality.
"I, as the representative of household Maverick, sincerely apologize on behalf of my idiotic nephew. He has been pampered to the brink of growing up to be a spoiled child. I shall see to it that Rayzer, my nephew will be duly punished for his crimes and improvised manners once we reach home." said William with a serene expression.
Lady Isabella grabbed her forehead,
"Ah! This is exhausting. Alright, you proved your point. We'll discuss this matter back in my office. You didn't have to hit him down the floors and damage the train's interior like that."
William again lowered his head,
"I am sorry. Please let the Maverick Household pay the bills for all the damages."
Lady Isabella stared at William for a few seconds,
"Alright head to the conference, right now. Also, recall all the managers aboard the train, we are having a long lecture on the basics of how to deal with kids. First, fetch your nephew from below."
"Yes, ma'am."
William just jumped down the hole and disappeared.
"Ah! I am having a big headache! I need to get a cup of coffee or two before I meet with managers. Darn it." said Lady Isabella to herself.
I guess, finally dealt with all the drama.
William's punch that caused the earthquake would surely have woken my parents by now. They might be even panicking at this very moment. I need to get going this instant.
I tried to tiptoe my way away and make my escape.
Lady Isabella was kind but seeing how shitty my luck is these days, it's better to just flee from this sight.
Suddenly Bellos appeared beside lady Isabella,
"Lady Isabella, what about these candidates?"
I paused.
Lady Isabella was watching me with hawkeyes,
"Ah! I almost forgot about these troublemakers. They are the reason the trouble started in the first place, they don't have any place on my train anymore."
Wait, what! Wasn't she the kind and loving person that loves common folks?
She suddenly tapped her scepter and suddenly the floor beneath my feet started changing. The next second a big hole appeared and I was swallowed in.
What the heck, wasn't I the victim here.
"And for the love of God, not another black void," I shouted to myself as I descended into the pitch-black void.
