House Tekiel is also having similar problems, losing five shipments. In his hesitation to appear eager Wax inquires into house matters where Miss Grimes informs him their second shipment of steel was stolen. Wax has an appointment with Jackstom Harms to settle a marriage agreement between himself and Harms' daughter, Steris. He turns his guns over to Tillaume, his butler, asking that they be stored in a safe place, and devotes himself to becoming Lord Waxillium Ladrian in the public eye. Watching from afar as the constables swarm the alleyway, he realizes the whimpering woman was actually a thug that had taken a bullet before his arrival.Īshamed, Wax returns to Ladrian Mansion. Still unable to shoot, Wax points his gun at the floor, fires, and uses the bullet to Push himself out of the alleyway. Wax narrowly avoids taking a bullet thanks to his steel bubble, barely missing his ribs. Intending to deal with them, he drops in their midst but hesitates as he hears a woman whimpering. Spending his time bounding across rooftops and soaring through the air, Wax eventually comes across a bunch of criminals in an alleyway with constables blockading the entrance.
Instead, Wax slips off the balcony and drops a bullet casing to Push himself over the garden wall. Lady Aving Cett appears on the balcony, urging Wax to rejoin the party. Wax has returned to Elendel in the wake of his uncle's death to do his duty to his house.
He makes his way to the balcony to be alone. Five months later, Wax is in attendance at a party back in Elendel, where he is known as "Lord Waxillium" or "Lord Ladrian," but is adamant in avoiding conversation.
