Conquering The Game's World-Chapter 101 Questions!
Chapter 101 Questions!
"Ha, haha," Alicia laughed angrily while facepalming herself and said coldly. "He is my mom's murderer! I don't know where he got the courage to make such a ridiculous proposal!"
She had no idea that something like this had happened. But what surprised her was that everyone else had a calm expression on their faces. 'It seems like they all knew about it.'
Luis observed Alicia silently, but didn't say anything about it. He knew that she was just angry and didn't need his comfort at the moment.
Looking at David, he nodded and said, "That is one thing, but what it is in Alicia that might have interested them so much?"
"I agree that she is beautiful and if you get to know her, she is fun to be around. But if he just liked Alicia, he wouldn't have resorted to killing Aunt Maria. Right?"
When Luis said this, David's expression was very solemn.
"What do you intend to say, Luis?" He asked in a deep voice because even a fool could see something was wrong here. And since Luis was so confident about it. Then he must have found something, right? frёewebηovel.cѳm
Thinking of this, Ronald, Lumine and Alicia also looked at Luis, showing grave expressions on their faces.
Luis clasped his hands, crossed his fingers, then looked at David seriously and asked. "Uncle David, will you tell us about Aunt Maria's origin?! Or her real name before she married into the Raven Family!"
Without breaking his eye contact with Luis, David answered, "She was an orphan. From a village far south of the Aiverson Empire."
Luis showed an 'as expected' expression and asked, "That's it?"
"What do you mean?" David's brows furrowed since he could not understand where Luis was going with this.
"I mean, did you two never go to visit that said village after your marriage?" Luis continued asking.
"Maria's childhood wasn't a happy one. That's why she avoided talking about it. She said that she didn't want to go back to that place anymore." David explained as he started reminiscing about his past.
"Leaving aside the fact that this story sounds very suspicious. I want to ask Mom." Luis turned his head to look at Lumine and asked. "On the day we arrived here, near that oak tree, which you said was Aunt Maria's favourite spot. Do you remember the words you said?"
When Luis mentioned the Oak tree, Alicia's eyes also brightened as she remembered it clearly.
Then, without waiting for Lumine to speak, Luis repeated those words. "[This tree gives me the motivation to work harder and become stronger so that one day I could go back.] That's what she said, right?"
Lumine nodded seriously as she understood that something was very wrong here.
David's eyes widened as he looked at Lumine in shock. Because if Lumine's words were correct, then Maria's wish was the opposite of what she had told him. 'What's going on here, Maria?'
Alicia's bright eyes turned to Luis as she asked, "If what Dad said is right? Then why would she want to become stronger so that she could return to that place? Wasn't it just a village?"
Luis nodded at her words and said, "If it was just a normal village, then the need to become stronger doesn't sound reasonable. Also, why did she avoid talking about that place after her marriage? Was it that her strength wasn't enough? Or there was some other reason behind it?"
"Maybe she went there in secret? But if her birthplace was just a normal village, there should be no problem taking her husband there. But she didn't. Rather, she avoided talking about it. She hid her origin from her closest friends and even her husband. Now why would she do that?"
As Luis asked out his doubts aloud, everyone else also became clear about it. Lumine and Ronald looked at each other with deep shock in their eyes, because they hadn't noticed these minor details until now. But when Luis pointed it out, many questions started surfacing.
Davis on the side had a blank look on his face. He seemed to be in a daze. He kept questioning himself. 'Why hadn't I noticed these things? Why did I brush it off when she avoided talking about her past?'
Alicia was thoughtful as she rubbed her chin and asked, "Then Luis, do you think the king and the crown prince know about Mom's origin?"
She thought that since Luis was explaining all this, while pointing out the reason for her mom's murder. Then it should all be connected. Right?
Ronald and Lumine heard Alicia's question and immediately looked at Luis. David also snapped out of his daze and hastily lifted his head, waiting for Luis' answer.
Much to everyone's disappointment, Luis said while shaking his head, "Maybe they do or maybe not."

Alicia sighed and mumbled, "So you don't know?"
Luis nodded and said, "I don't know if they are clear about her origin or not. But there's one thing we can be certain of."
"What is it?" Alicia's eyes shined as she looked at him in anticipation.
Luis smiled at her and said, "Before we get to that, let's clear out a few more things first."
"They killed Aunt Maria after her mana core was broken and she lost her strength. Why would they do that? Yeah, we can say it was a good opportunity to kill her, but why would they target her when she was already so weak? She wasn't an obstacle to them anymore. Nor was there any hatred between them."
When Luis said that, everyone in the room quietly looked at him. Waiting for him to continue.
"The first reason I can think of is that Aunt Maria found some secrets that they didn't want anyone to find out. But If that were the case, then they would have tried to eliminate everyone close to her. Afraid that she had kept those secrets with Alicia, they might have killed her too."
"Since they didn't kill Alicia, we can assume there was some other reason and something in Alicia that interested them."
