Chapter 81 Distorting Facts!

Appearing in front of them with a grin on his face, Thomas ignored Ursula and Emily and set his eyes on Luis, who was also looking at him with a poker face.

"It's been a while, Luis."

"Yeah, around a year, I guess," Luis answered thoughtfully.

Thomas smiled even more and said, "1 year and 2 months, to be exact. You came to the Imperial City on my Mother, the queen's birthday celebration last year, remember?"

"Yeah, I remember." Luis nodded, then said with a soft smile. "It was a joyful evening,"

When Ursula heard their conversation. She also remembered Luis' identity.

'Right, he is that boy with whom Brother Thomas made that bet last year.'

'From the Suarez family.'

'But how does Princess Emily know him?' Ursula wondered.

When Thomas heard Luis' words, and saw his reaction. He continued smiling and asked.

"If I remember correctly this year also, we sent an invitation to the Suarez family for my mother's birthday celebration two months ago."

"I had been anticipating your arrival, but neither did you... nor anyone else from the Suarez Family came."

"I wonder what happened?" Although there was curiosity and slight complaining in his voice. But the meaning behind his words was rather an inquiry.

*Sigh*

Luis sighed. Then showed a longing and disappointed expression on his face and said. "I also wanted to go this year. But because of a situation in my family, I was quite troubled at that time."

Thomas' gaze became sharp, but he showed a concerned expression and asked, "Are you fine now? What situation? Tell me I'll help you?"

Although it seemed like Thomas was a concerned friend who was curious about his friend's troubles. In reality, he was just collecting information.

His father, the king, has some doubts about the Suarez family and their behaviour, but he cannot find anything wrong, and there is no way to question them directly. That's why he asked Thomas to get the information from Luis Suarez, who will also be joining the academy with them.

Hence, Thomas first tried getting the information about why the Suarez family ignored the invitation.

"So, what did you do?" This time it was Ursula who asked because it was a situation many people face in her social circle and someday in the future she might also have such a day. That's why she wanted to know what choice Luis made.

Luis showed an expression as if he was resigning to his fate and said, "In the end, I gave up."

"My fiancee was madly in love with me. I thought it was not bad to be with such a girl when she loved me so dearly, so in the end, I reluctantly accepted the engagement."

Inside the VIP box.

Lumine and Ronald's faces were stiff, and their lips twitched.

"Darling, how does it appear that the facts have been distorted?"

"Honey, I think so too. Did we force him? How come I do not remember anything like that? I don't seem to remember that I was so insistent." Ronald asked.

Lumine also nodded while her lips were twitching.

"Dear, it seems I am also having delusions. From what I remember, someone always flirted with his fiancee at every chance he gets."

Ronald also nodded, expressing that he was well aware of that.

Lumine tapped her mana bracelet and asked, "Lily, did you record that conversation?"

Lily was confused, but still answered honestly.

{Yes, I did. Mom.}

"Good girl." Lumine praised Lily and then said, "I'll just let Alicia handle him."

Ronald nodded, showing his approval. But he was still going to talk to him later. It's not good to slander his parents like that, and more so in public.

*Bang!*

Ronald and Lumine turned to look at David, who had just punched the table and broken it into pieces.

David had veins pop up on his forehead due to anger.

"He accepted my daughter reluctantly?! Who is he kidding?!"
