Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife

Chapter 168 A Fight On The Football Field

?

Outside the doors which led to the private living room, Gertrude was pacing around nervously. All she could think was that it was suddenly too quiet in there now, for a long while she had listened to her lady screaming and breaking things and now it was quiet. She wanted to enter the room and check but she had been forbidden from doing so, leaving her no option but to pace around nervously and clench her fists. She needed to do something about the situation because she was feeling extremely uneasy. 

She returned to the kitchen were she left Tion, he was sitting there stiffly like a straight wooden board. Whether he was simply sitting and thinking or just blankly staring at the wall, she had no idea and she did not care frankly. What she wanted was for them to join their heads together and think of a solution. He was the ex mecha warrior here, he probably had more knowledge than she did. 

"Do something." she told him. 

Tion raised one eyebrow at her and folded his arms across his chest. 

"You are my lady, the governor's personal guard and she relies on you a lot. You are not just responsible for her physical well being, her emotional one matters too. We all knew that she was not a saint when we moved here, her past is covered in mud but the prince should not have spoken to her the way he did. She has done many good things as well, she got us here, you and I are living good happy lives because of her. Nobody was going to give a regressed mecha warrior who could suffer from the darkness at any time a chance but she did that for you. She does not like the fact that Lady Cecily sent me but she did not fire me, she accepted me. Stop acting as if her personal life does not concern you because you and I are the lady's servants so do something, call someone, fix this." Gertrude shouted sternly at Tion, something which surprised her and the maids who had just arrived. 

"I will get the general." Tion stood up. 

"No." Coral uttered. The rest of the maids had just returned and they all heard what Gertrude, the head maid said. Something was wrong with the governor.

When everyone turned to look at her she blushed and covered her face. 

"Articulate your words Coral we don't have time to waste here." Gertrude said to the shy girl. 

"Call her elder brother, Adler, according to gossip he is the closest person to her in the family. They say he protects her no matter what situation it is, the rest of us don't know what happened to the lady but I think if something is wrong with her he might be the best person to handle it." Coral was quiet and shy but she was a good listener, in a few months she knew almost everything about the governor and her family from listening to others talk. 

Tion walked out of the castle and drove a car to the football field where he knew that some members of the Su family were playing a friendly football match against some the teenagers from the combat academy. There was a possibility that Esong would be there too because he taught the combat class but he that did not matter anyway. 

In his opinion, it was better for the husband to help the wife, because their relationship was more intimate as compared to the one between siblings. 

And right he was because he found Esong acting as a referee on the field with a whistle in his mouth. Adler was standing on the side lines, where the team coaches should be. Tion was torn between which of the two men he should speak to first. The husband, or the brother, who could handle this situation better? 

When he saw Markay in the stands, waving at Esong, his feet carried him in the direction of Adler. 

 "We should speak." Tion said the moment he reached Adler. 

"Not now," Adler was too preoccupied with the game, shouting at Elroy to pass the ball to another person. 

"It's about the governor, your sister." With those words, Tion had Adler's full attention. 

"What is wrong with my sister?"

"The prince came by and reminded her that she sold her sister's draft. He said a bunch of other things before he called her the original villain and asked her to apologize to miss Carolyn. I don't think the governor fully recalled the incident because her face turned pale and she started drinking. She has locked herself.."

Hardly had he completed his words when Adler took off running in the direction of the seventh prince. His eyes were filled with rage and his fists were clenched tight. Tion could smell the angry bloody fight in the air before it started. 

"Shit!!!" he cursed and he went running after Adler. Perhaps it would have been better to talk to the husband than the hot headed brother. 

Adler leaped on Markay, calling him a bastard and successfully landing one punch on his face before Markay pushed him off. Using kinesis, Adler lifted whatever was around him and he aimed it all at Markay. 

Markay dodged them with his swift speed, and he aimed the steel pole from the goal post at Adler. 

Esong leaped in, sending Adler out of the way and diverting the steel pole. Other people stepped in to separate the two men, particularly Adler who was trying to lunge at Markay. 

"What is going on between you both?" Esong yelled. "There are children here and you fight? What kind of adults are you?" The teenagers had gathered close by, trying to overhear and see what the fight was about.

"Ask that son of a bitch what he did?" Adler shouted. All he needed were a few minutes to teach this meddling bastard not to interfere in their family's affairs. Who did he think he was? What gave him the right?

Tion pushed Adler's chest back and yelled at him, "There is not time for this, she is not well." 

Adler glared at Markay one last time and he took off running with Tion. It was best to get to his sister. As they drove away, he wondered exactly what condition she was in. Was she experiencing one of her old manic episodes? And Justin!!! where was he? He could not see his mother in that condition, not again. It would break his poor heart. 

On the field, Elroy took Adler's place and questioned Markay, "What did you do to my sister?" 

"Did he break up with Carolyn?" Folsom asked loudly. 

"No," Beord appeared too, using the advantage of his larger size to over shadow Markay like a mountain. "Adler only gets involved in a physical fight when it concerns Scarlet. All our lives, that's how it has always been and it will never change." 

"I simply told her what you all aren't saying, there is tension between her and Carolyn. Am I the only one who cares?" Markay replied defensively. 

"They are working things out, at their own pace. Do you think we are all blind in the family?" Elroy screamed at Markay. "Are you trying to help or make it worse? Our sister Scarlet is still healing, our lives are now better and our family has never been this close. You are a prince but you are not a Su, I don't like you dating Carolyn." 

While they screamed and argued, Esong flew to the castle in his mecha, arriving faster than Adler and Tion but what he found, surprised him.
