Martha looked at the man standing in front of her, and the hand on her side tightened and loosened. After a long while, she still couldn’t help asking.


    “Today’s pce banquet is not an ordinary pce banquet, is it?”


    The sentence she uttered was a question, but Louis saw her expression and understood that she had known the answer.


    He pursed his thin lips tightly and remained silent.


    Martha was his cousin who had been lost for many years, and she had to bear the heavy responsibility of the family as soon as she came back. He didn’t want to lie to her.


    Martha waited for a long time but did not get his answer, her eyebrows were slightly knitted, and her voice was slightly cold.


    “I want to hear the truth. I haven’t thought of evading my responsibility since I came back, so I hope you won’t lie to me again.”


    Louis sighed helplessly, and a deep voice came out from his thin lips.


    “Today’s pce banquet is indeed not simple; Today is the session ceremony of in, the king’s son.”


    Martha looked suspiciously at the man standing in front of him, with obvious disbelief in her eyes.


    She didn’t think that an ordinary session ceremony required so many people to attend in costumes.


    After what she said just now, she felt that Louis hadn’t lied to her, and that today was indeed the session ceremony of in, the king’s son.


    But, things would not be so simple.


    A sh of inspiration shed in Martha’s mind, and she suddenly realized something, and asked again.


    “Is it that simple? If it’s just a session ceremony, why do all the female members of rich families have toe?”


    Louis knew that his long-lost cousin was smart, but he didn’t expect thetter to notice something was wrong so quickly.


    He wanted to wait until everything was settled before confessing to Martha.


    Now… it was impossible to do that.


    When Louis thought of this, his eyelids drooped, and he didn’t know whether to say it or not.


    After telling the real reason, would Martha still be willing to stay here?


    Just when Louis was hesitating, Martha’s indifferent voice sounded again.


    “You asked me to attend the session ceremony of the king’s son in, there must be other reasons, right?”


    Louis’ pupils shrank slightly, and a thinyer of sweat unconsciously broke out on his palms.


    At this moment, he had a feeling that if he didn’t speak out today, Martha would hate him when she knew the truth.


    But, would she still be willing to stay here after he told the truth?


    Martha narrowed her eyes slightly, and took a step closer to Louis.


    “Brother, I’m back with you, are you going to hide this from me?”


    Louis froze when he heard this address, his long and narrow eyes filled with guilt for Martha.


    If he hadn’t found her, maybe Martha would have lived a happy life in that city by now.


    He brought her back, so she had the right to know the truth, didn’t she?


    He sighed silently before finally deciding not to hide the importance of tonight’s banquet .


    “I am also part of the Lucas family and I have a right to know the truth.”


    Louis sighed silently, after all, he didn’t hide the importance of today’s banquet anymore.


    “You are right, today is indeed not as simple as the session ceremony of Prince in.”


    Martha didn’t interrupt Louis when she heard this, because she knew that Louis was going to tell the reason.


    In the next second, the man’s dark voice sounded beside her, which made her heart ache a little.


    “After the prince seeds to the throne, he will choose his partner within a month.”


    Therefore, today’s banquet was the day when the new king chose the new queen.


    Martha froze, thinking of that immediately.


    She tightened her hand on the side suddenly, red at the man in front of her angrily, and asked angrily.


    “Is this the real reason why you brought me back?”


    Louis’ thin lips were tightly pursed into a line, and the big hands beside him were already clenched into fists.


    He couldn’t deny what Martha said.


    They did bring her back with the hope that she would be chosen by in, the son of the king, to be the queen and save the Lucas family.


    Only when she became the queen, would everything in the Lucas family have room for maneuver.


    Martha waited for a moment but didn’t hear any response from Louis, so she knew she was right.


    She bit her lower lip tightly and turned around with a sneer.


    At this moment, Louis stepped forward and reached out to grab Martha’s hand.


    “It’s not like that. All my mother did was for your own good.”


    But it was exactly like that – they only wanted Martha to be queen so that everything in the Lucas family could return to normal again.


    In their hearts, is it only by bing a queen that the Lucas family can be saved?


    Martha red at the man in front of her angrily, and was about to retort when Daisy arrived with two daughters of dukes from Z Country.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    Daisy introduced them gently with what she thought was an enchanting smile on her face.


    One of the daughters started looking down on Martha. “You’re The Lucas Family’s long-lost daughter?”


    The other daughter standing beside them took one look at Martha before sarcastically saying,  “She doesn’t seem like the Lucas Family’s daughter based on how she looks now. Daisy, don’t be fooled by people with ulterior motives.”


    Martha was already in a fit of anger, and naturally she would not be polite when she heard the provocative words, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she endured the anger at this time, and replied with a smile.


    “Your demeanor seems more fitting for being the dukes’ daughters than mine does… but I’m not sure if you’re genuine or fake.”
