Chapter 173 Enemies Of The Frost Family

"Yes, I have." Lothur pulled out the two letters he had found in Elise's belongings. "These are letters she intended to send after she killed me."

"They are to someone named Carl Stauss and Kai Berger. In them, you can see they ordered my death and have contacts within the family that go beyond Elise."

Mabel and Aiken approached Lothur and took those pieces of paper, promptly starting to analyze such messages.

"Unacceptable! Who dares do that?" Aiken brandished as he noticed Elise's words, feeling like a fool for having allowed traitorous to spread within his noble family.

Meanwhile, Mabel could not help but forget the trouble caused by Lothur to turn her full attention to this matter. "Who did you see talking about acting against us?"

Lothur then truthfully answered. "I don't know. I only overheard two people talking and almost got caught up in it."

"Then, as soon as I heard enough, I ran away without checking who was talking about it." He said while being watched by Viktoria and Annaliese.

The latter was surprised since she had not heard anything of the sort from Lothur. However, considering how much she knew about him, she was in doubt whether he was making all this up or if it was, in fact, true.

Viktoria then asked. "Couldn't you identify these people? It's vague to tell us that there are traitors in the family. We have thousands of members!"

He looked at her and replied. "The female voice I honestly wouldn't know how to identify. But the male voice I heard that day was not strange to me. I feel like I've been with that person before."

"Oh?" Aiken seriously looked at Lothur. "So, if you heard it again, you would know how to identify it?"

"Maybe..." Lothur put one of his hands on his chin to think about it. "But I, at the very least, can indicate the ones with the most chance of being the culprit. Thus, I think I can help you with that, father-in-law."

"Good! Good!"

"Lothur, keep the secret about that. In a few days, we will have an occasion to organize our teams attending the Province Conference. Many important family members will attend, so I want you to accompany me."

"After the occasion, you will tell me the names of those who may be the person you heard. We will keep an eye on those people from then on." He tapped one of Lothur's shoulders. "And don't worry, no innocent person will be harmed by this, so rest assured if you make mistakes about one person or another."

"As long as the culprit is on your list, that will help us greatly!"

Meanwhile, Mabel looked again at the names on the letters written by Elise. "So, the Third Prince faction and the Mouse Company are connected, huh? Even more, they are acting against us..."

Viktoria frowned upon hearing that while keeping certain information to herself. 'Are they just after our family, or do they know...' She looked at Lothur, remembering her husband's past.

Lothur then said. "The Mouse Company has attacked me at least three times in the last few weeks. First, a few days ago, a girl tried to seduce me and take me to a casino. Then, on another day, I was attacked while doing a mission outside Peters City."

"I paid for an investigation and found out both were associates, people from this local underworld organization."

"Oh? And why didn't you tell us anything?" Mabel frowned, thinking that such a young man kept too much information. "We could have avoided this whole situation!"

"I warned you of my suspicions of Elise, but you did nothing... What could I do? I could only trust myself since you people chose to believe that woman rather than me."

"You..." Mabel was angry at Lothur's words but was held back by her husband.

"Lothur, I am sorry. We have failed you and put you in danger." Aiken sighed in defeat, feeling humiliated. "In the future, don't hesitate. Talk to me if there is any trouble, and I will take the matter seriously!"

"If father-in-law is promising, then I'll believe it..."

"Anyway, Elke and I had to take care of our injuries after that situation. That's why I was late and couldn't get into the city until earlier today."

"And why didn't you come to tell us that right away?" Mabel questioned him.

"I was exhausted from everything that happened the other day, and Elke wouldn't let me return home like that. So, she insisted that I rest at her parents' house before going to the academy."

"At the Becker house?" She looked at him strangely. "Brat, our family and the Becker House are not friends. So why would they take you in? You haven't caused any trouble for us, have you?"

"Tsk!"

"Elke and I are friends. What difference does it make if your families are not close? What does that have to do with us?"

"Anyway, her parents like me better than you, madam." He provocatively said.

Viktoria frowned upon hearing this since she knew Lothur and Elke's relationship was not simple. 'Her parents like you? Really? Don't they suspect anything?' She felt worried about that family stealing him away from House Frost.

As for Annaliese, the only one who truly knew how 'deep' the relationship between those two was, she found this even stranger. 'Her parents are thinking of giving to him? How is that possible? But it's impossible that they don't know about their relationship! Elke practically has the same smell as Lothur!'

"Humph!"

"Stay away from that girl from now on. I don't want our family to gain one more problem because of two youths." She turned and began to walk away from there as she gave that order.

'I'll do whatever I want!' Lothur remained silent, watching his beautiful voluptuous-bodied mother-in-law leading Aiken away from them.

After getting rid of Mabel's punishment, Lothur sighed and looked at the twins beside him.

"Lothur, I'm sorry I didn't notice anything..." Viktoria felt terrible for her mistake and looked at him with shame in her eyes. "I was supposed to protect you but ended up putting you at risk."

"Sister! That is not your fault! That bitch was plotting against our family the whole time. How is this your fault? She even tricked our parents!" Annaliese said in a tone laden with confidence.

"But you should listen to Lothur more. He's from our family, so he deserves more trust."

Hearing this, Viktoria nodded as she looked at the silver-haired young man. "Okay, Lothur, let's have dinner together. I want to hear the details of what happened and take care of you a little bit as an apology."

"About that, I have some business to take care of tonight, so I won't be able to have dinner with you." Then, he remembered the student who had revealed himself to him.

"Business? What business?" She frowned.

Lothur had just returned and had all this trouble going on. What could he possibly want to do in the middle of the night?

"Hmm, well, it's something to do with Elke... After that, she will also help me with something, so we won't be able to have dinner together." He lied.

"Help you?" She did not like hearing that her husband refused to have dinner with her just because of that little girl. "What is she going to do? I'm sure I can do the same!"

As Annaliese blushed at the thought of what her older sister was unknowingly saying, Lothur laughed and moved closer to her.

Standing with his mouth less than 10 centimeters from her right ear, he said in a whispery tone. "For you to do this, we would have to remove every piece of clothing from your body, dear. Are you suggesting that you are willing to do that?"

Gulp!

Viktoria turned red like never before in her life and felt her heart suddenly begin to jump faster.

As the heat from her face rose, she swallowed her saliva and ran from there, shocked. 'How can this be? Is he playing with me?'
