A few moments after Lothur and Oliver's match ended, the Frost family discovered what had happened just before Viktoria arrived at her family's VIP area.
Because of this, the moment she entered that place, all the elders there, including Simon, looked at her with expressions of curiosity and questioning.
But almost no one there was unhappy since the family's results so far were simply too good for an organization in such a delicate situation as theirs. Because of this, even if these people doubted Lothur's capabilities, they could not help but feel good!
But Simon could not just accept the situation and see his plans go down the drain because of a little silver-haired bastard!
He then was the first to step forward and look at this woman with a questioning look. "Viktoria, what is the situation with your husband? Why is he doing so well? How come the family wasn't told about any of this?"
The Frost family had started asking questions about Lothur since his results in the competition for formations masters. But they did not get very far since there was no indication that he had any abilities or was a danger to the family.
Lothur had even demanded his exit from their headquarters. Was this the reaction of an undercover spy? No!
Not to mention that he had never used any benefits in his time with the Frost family and had even been forced by Mabel and Aiken to accept some things, such as going to the local academy.

They had not gone after either Lothur or Viktoria because they did not want to unnecessarily disturb their competitors when they brought essential points to the family. But since the heiress of this organization decided on her own to show up at this place, this was the time for them to get some answers.
Eventually, they would question Lothur, but questioning Viktoria now would help them at least try to answer some of the questions they had in mind.
Several of them already knew that Viktoria and Lothur were behaving like husband and wife, so it was to be expected that she knew something.
Then, when Simon asked his questions, everyone, including Mabel and Aiken, paid attention to Viktoria's direction, even though both had doubts about this man.
Viktoria stopped in the middle of that area and saw the many eyes focused on her. She then replied. "Lothur awakened some abilities after an accident months ago." She looked at her parents. "That's why he recovered so quickly in that previous situation..."
"So that's why?" Aiken raised his voice, understanding that, indeed, their conjectures about Lothur at the time were correct.
"And why did we only find that out now?" Mabel questioned, feeling Lothur was teasing her for not saying anything and making her stressed about this competition. 'I bet he did it on purpose! He wanted the whole family to feel the despair of losing more of our possessions!'
Viktoria then told a little lie. "Lothur did it for the good of the family, of course. He told me everything weeks ago and said he had discovered some talents and skills in those three professions."
"I told him to keep the secret about it and prepare for the Province Conference since I knew enemies would do everything to harm us at this time..." She said, looking at the people in her surroundings. "I don't think the situation that got Chris and Frank out of this competition is simple."
"What?"
"Is the First Miss saying that others have acted against these two to harm us?"
Viktoria nodded in agreement. "So I wanted to keep the secret about Lothur to give our opponents a surprise... It seems to have worked out well, doesn't it?"
Simon clenched his teeth against each other as he felt hatred for this woman and even more for Lothur, who had disguised himself so well. 'Damn brats! They've disrupted all my plans.'
But he did not show his anger to the people in that place, quickly controlling himself as he thought of the advantage he and his allies had over this organization. 'Fine, I'll accept this defeat!'
'But you are only two juniors. At most, you'll get a few points in this damn competition. But what can you do against so many who are against you? We will soon have the opportunity to strike another blow!' As he walked away from there, he considered without further questioning Viktoria.
And with Viktoria's answers, people in the surroundings soon became less suspicious of Lothur being an enemy agent. Not only was her word taken very seriously, but his attitude in securing points for this family was an act that an enemy would never do.
After all, what benefit would there be in giving more power to an organization they wanted to destroy or undermining the power of the current leaders?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith that, even Mabel let her guard down for Lothur, even though she still considered that this son-in-law of hers was an asshole for hiding even from her and Aiken.
With that, Viktoria answered a few more questions from the people in this VIP area before discovering what Lothur had done to Oliver.
"Did he really do that?" She asked with her mouth open, not understanding why her husband would do something so brutal against Oliver.
'The Dohmen family is on the enemy side, but we don't have much rivalry history. Besides, this kind of action might bring more severe post-conference reactions...'
'What was he thinking?' She wondered.
In the past, she would have thought that Lothur had just made a mistake by acting so brutally. But after getting to know him better, Viktoria now considered that there must be something more to all this.
If he were someone who enjoys other people's deaths, then his opponents in the previous competitions would have suffered much more than they did!
"Mother, father, I think Lothur probably has something on his mind. He wouldn't kill this tailor for the sheer fun of it. He's a lot smarter than he looks." She said, trying to reassure them.
Aiken felt better hearing this, but Mabel clenched her fists, feeling how much her daughter had changed just for Lothur.
'Why does she trust him? What's in that jerk for her to side with him like that?'
Having talent was not enough to make someone cautious. So many young masters in this world were the future of their families, but even so, they were real assholes at times. Thus, Mabel would not think that Lothur's good performance meant that he was, in fact, intelligent.
Then, she was skeptical about her daughter's words!
"Anyway, we'll talk later. Now I will go and see where he and Annaliese are..." Viktoria said goodbye, wanting to go and talk to Lothur after not seeing him for hours.
