YM778.TV Chapter 336 Where Is He?
But one of them, Simon, was standing outside his carriage, looking from one side to the other, unable to find Viktoria and Lothur.
Not finding Lothur was to be expected. But this being true even for Viktoria was very strange!
Since he had been in charge of passing on the information about Lothur\'s departure to his cronies, he could not help but get a little nervous now.
"Where is Lothur?" He asked aloud to the servants on the outskirts. "Move quickly. Wake this boy up. Doesn\'t he know how important the Province Conference is to the family?"
The nobles there looked at him from inside their carriages, and some felt that this aggressive comment from Simon was to be expected. After all, since Lothur had brought them to the final, he had to remain responsible for at least one more day!
That way, the family could have the best possible results in this competition!
However, Mabel and Aiken arrived at that place just that instant and could not help but find Simon\'s behavior strange.
\'He seems very agitated...\' Mabel thought about it silently as she noticed the sweat dripping down that man\'s neck.
Meanwhile, Aiken was a little less suspicious than his wife since Simon was his uncle, someone of the same blood as him. But even someone with a good heart and skeptical of Lothur\'s lines could not ignore this behavior in front of him.
\'It looks like there\'s something wrong here...\' He thought as he walked beside his wife and daughter.
But unlike her parents, Annaliese had complete confidence in Lothur\'s words. To her, it would simply be better for them to arrest this man and only then investigate him than to give him the benefit of the doubt.
So for her, there was no doubt that this person wanted to harm Lothur with this absurd questioning.
She then stepped forward and said in a provocative tone. "What do you want, uncle Simon? Lothur and my sister know very well the importance of this event. They are the ones who have secured my family\'s current position. So what do you think they will do now? Give up? Forget about the competition?
Simon looked at that brat in front of him, feeling that her loud comment and a bit of irony were meant to make him feel like a fool.
"Annaliese..." He said without quite understanding why this child was talking like that. But at the thought that she was trying to defend her sister and brother-in-law, he sighed and tried to justify himself. "That\'s not the point... I am grateful to Lothur. But where is he now? We can\'t be late!"
The people in the surrounding area nodded, but they all agreed with Annaliese\'s words.
It was Lothur and Viktoria who had given the current position of this family to them, so these two were the ones most interested in continuing to compete.
That was particularly true because Lothur and Viktoria had chances to win the first-place prize in their respective professions.
Up to this point, they had only helped the Frost family without guaranteeing anything for themselves. But today, every winner of the day will win relevant prizes!
Therefore, it made no sense to think that Lothur and Viktoria were sleeping or doing what they should not.
Annaliese saw that her parents did not correct her for her previous speech and said with a smile. "Don\'t worry about them, uncle Simon. I\'m sure my brother-in-law and sister are already in the Coliseum."
"What?" He exclaimed in surprise as Mabel Aiken looked at him cautiously.
But they would not tell this man or the other people in the area that Viktoria and Lothur had not lived on this property for days. There was no reason to, so they got into their carriage, leaving Simon and his questions behind.
\'When this competition is over, we will deal with you...\' Mabel\'s eyes sharpened as Annaliese talked to her father.
"Father, you have to do something against this person. I\'m sure he is our enemy, or he wouldn\'t try to make so many inquiries about Lothur."
"Hmm, it\'s bizarre... But he is part of our family, Anna. We can\'t just believe an accusation like that without investigating first." He gave his justification, trying to make his daughter more loyal to her own family. "Do you believe your brother-in-law more than your uncle?"
"Of course! Lothur is wonderful. He would never lie to us." She said with complete confidence.
Mabel looked strangely at her youngest daughter, but since Annaliese had always gotten along well with Lothur, she did not suspect anything.
But Aiken was shocked that Annaliese trusted her sister\'s husband more than her blood relative.
"Anna, how can you be like this? Your uncle has always treated you well." He commented, shocked at how decisive she was.
"Lothur is part of our family and is much closer to us than my uncle. Imagine when my sister gets pregnant. He will be the father of your grandchildren!" She said, thinking more of herself than Viktoria
"What?" Aiken almost hit his head on the carriage roof as he stood up suddenly after those words. "What is this nonsense you are talking about?"
Mabel was watching Annaliese as well. But since she could imagine how much Viktoria was doing to Lothur, she did not find her daughter\'s comment strange.
Annaliese then said. "I am stating the obvious. They are husband and wife, so isn\'t it normal for them to get pregnant?"
Aiken finally clenched his fists and felt his blood rise to his head, imagining this possibility. "No. It\'s too early. Your sister needs to focus on cultivation now. She couldn\'t do something so foolish!"
Mabel then relieved him. "Don\'t worry, darling. I\'m sure Anna has a fertile mind and doesn\'t know what she\'s talking about. Vicky definitely wouldn\'t get pregnant right now."
"I hope so..." He sighed as his daughter massaged her belly.
.
\'What will happen when I get pregnant?" She imagined her parents\' reaction.
...
Meanwhile, at one of the posts where Lothur\'s enemy groups were waiting for him...
"Where are those damned people? Don\'t tell me they will use the main path to the Coliseum?" One of the men on the outskirts of an alternate route to the Coliseum asked his companions as he saw no movement in the surrounding area.
Fritz\'s reinforcements had arrived the night before, having made their plans and positioned themselves around Peters City, aiming to stop Lothur and Viktoria.
If they tried to go to the Coliseum by one of the routes from the Frost estate, they would be caught by one of the traps or personnel waiting for them!
Unfortunately for these people, Lothur had left the Frost estate the day before, not today, when they had their eye on such a place!
So this group just stood there doing nothing, waiting for someone who would never come.
