Leo and Christina looked at each other for a brief mont with wide eyes. It was clear that either of them were not expecting to see each other once again so soon.
"What is going on?" Leo looked at Christina with a little frown before turning his head towards the Driver.
"It's the Old Master's order…" The driver spoke. He obviously had no further idea about the incident so it was probably useless asking the poor fellow about it.
Leo could only look at Christina for answers but the girl herself looked confused. She was in no better position than Leo.
"I was just asked by my father to get the car that had been taken to pick up." She explained the situation to Leo while still looking a bit confused about it.
"Get inside first.." Leo moved a little to the side first and then asked Christina inside. It was after all not good to just let her stand there. Besides it seed they would be travelling together.
What else could they possibly do in this situation?
The door of the car closed and the driver finally took off while the two passengers still had no idea what was about to co.
"So, your father didn't tell you anything else?" Leo suddenly asked, looking at Christina.
"He said it was a surprise and just asked to board the car. He only sent the number of the car." She forced a smile on her face as she flicked a screen from her smart link and it indeed had a number which belonged to this car.
"You have no idea about it as well?" It was Christina's turn to ask the question.
Leo obviously was about to shake his head saying that he totally had no idea about it as well, but a mory seed to co out of nowhere and flash in front of his very eyes. It was sothing that happened today, it was very fresh within his mind after all.
He suddenly rembered Rebecca talking about sothing which was related to the Emperor trying to match him and Christina.
'Don't tell ..' Leo began to have a bad feeling about it. That surely was a possibility, but wasn't this a bit too exaggerated. Besides, it was still too early to decide, who knows it might be sothing else in the end.
Not to ntion, he just couldn't say that to her. It seed that Christina had no idea about any such news as well. He would only trouble her if he did say it, and in case it turned out to be a false alarm, he might embarrass himself.
"I don't think I have any idea about it as well.." In the end, he just forced a smile on his face, and shook his head.
"I see…" Christina nodded, and the little frown still remained on her face. She was wondering why her father would be doing sothing like this.
…
A while later….
The Car finally landed in the parking area of the Silver Mansion.
Leo got out of the car and so did Christina.
One of the servants was already present there to receive them this ti.
"Welco, Second Master and Miss.."
It was now confird that he was expecting Christina as well. There was no doubt that she was at the right place.
Christina and Leo exchanged glances, and their faces didn't look good. Leo seed to have so idea, and it seed Christina had begun to realize sothing as well.
When the two of them finally arrived inside the Mansion, Leo's face twitched as he looked at the people present inside.
Aiden's parents obviously were there, and sitting against them were another pair of couples which looked to be Christina's parents. Leo could tell as Christina shared so resemblance with them.
And then, there was the guy stuffing snacks into his mouth while sitting to the side of the two groups on the sofa all alone.
His face was familiar to Leo, and he sure wasn't forgetting him anyti soon.
He was the Emperor of Gloria, Ragen G. Lynchfield.
[Just look at this b*stard! From which angel does he look like an Emperor! I really wanna smash this b*stard's face-nya!] Aiden was imdiately pissed at the re sight of the man. Leo could even hear his teeth grinding in anger.
"Aiden!" Viona's voice sounded in the hall, and it broke Leo out of his daze as well. It seed he was finally noticed.
The other people turned their heads to look at Leo and Christina as well.
"Co here , Christina." The man sitting opposite to Edgar smiled as he beckoned Christina. This man had slight blond hair, and blue eyes. There was definitely a strong presence around him.
He definitely was one of the highest ranking people in Gloria both in terms of power and authority. He was the Current Queen's Younger Brother. He also had a close relationship with the Emperor and was one of his advisors.
But, it seed that the Emperor was advising him on so matters now. And, it definitely didn't seem like sothing good for Leo.
"You have co young man!" Regan looked at Leo with a smile, and beckoned him to his side.
Leo forced a smile on his face while Edgar gestured to him to go forward. He sure didn't know the truth.
[Tsk! My father can't see this evil man's sche with loyalty blinding his eyes-nya! Aiden grumbled inwardly.
Leo could bet that no one would have expected Aiden to be actually capable of cursing the Emperor of Gloria. It sure would have been a sight to watch if it actually ca to light though.
"Mom…Dad… what is going on?" Christina on the other side looked at her father in confusion, and then turned her head to look at Aiden's parents.
"You thought that you could hide it from us forever?" Christina's mom asked with a aningful smile, her father seed to have a similar expression on his face. It was at this mont that Christina's face turned dark.
She realized that she was dood. She understood that it had to do with the matter that happened a month ago at her house.
"You too..it is not sothing that you should hide from your parents. The earlier it cos to light, the better it is…" Ragen smiled at Leo, and Leo could definitely hear so unspoken words which went '..the better it is for you prick!'...
Obviously, he had no idea if it was just an illusion or the mystery of the world.
But, one thing was for sure now.
His fears had co true!
He was dood now!
'I have to deny this! It was all a misunderstanding!' Leo was imdiately in panic. But, he still maintained a neutral face outside.
[No wait! You can't do this! If you do, Rebecca would definitely find out that I was lying! It would make the situation worse-nya.]
Leo couldn't retort to that at all. It was just like a movie script when it ca to Aiden's love life. So, if they followed the plot to continue and Leo actually cleared the misunderstanding here, he could definitely see Rebecca returning after igniting her passion once again with a determination to make Aiden forget about their different position.
That was sothing he would love to see. But, the story was definitely different when he was playing the main character's role and the real main character watched from the sidelines.
That was just ssed up and a whole lot annoying. He definitely wouldn't want that. But, did that an he was supposed to sacrifice himself for that? No matter which path he chose now, it would be a doom for him.
He now had to choose which was less painful in the long run.
'But, even if I agree here and lie. Do you think that Christina will follow up?' Leo asked with a frown.
[That..nya..]
Well, that sure was asking for the impossible. You had to be a bit realistic here.
"You two have been dating without our knowledge? It sure saddens to see this. Why didn't you inform us? We have been family friends, we definitely would have supported you." Christina's mom said with a sad face as she looked at the two of them.
"Sigh! Kids these days! They don't listen to their parents at all. But, I think you should respect their choices." Ragen intervened as he picked up another piece of snack from the bowl.
"Is it true, Aiden? Do you like her?" Viona turned her head to look at Leo, and asked her with a smile
He could definitely see the excited gleam in her eyes. She was desperately waiting for him to give a nod to it.
[Say yes-nya]
[It is still fine if its one sided love-nya!]
Leo's face twitched. This guy was sure willing to send Leo through a path of fire as long as it could get him to his goals.
Everyone looked at him, and Leo felt sweat sliding down his forehead.
It was ti for an answer.
