Lucas nodded.
“That’s indeed the case.
Abraham, we saved you because we hope you can help the two of us.
However, I’d like you to see one thing before I explain further.” Then, Lucas hinted at Fabian to show Sonya the scroll painting that Fabian prepared. Sonya glanced at the scroll painting, and his heart instantly skipped a beat.
“This is…” It was a portrait of himself! Nonetheless, Sonya quickly noticed that the youth on the scroll painting was not him.
Instead, it was just someone that looked similar to him.
Even though they resembled each other, one would notice at a closer look that the teenager on the portrait had a different temperament from Boneng.
This guy appeared timid, and anyone would think that he was a coward. Seeing the complicated gazes flashing in Sonya’s eyes, Lucas said, “Abraham, I’m going, to be frank.
This person is Diana Montgomery.
Yes, your hearing is fine as his name is indeed similar to yours.
However, he‘s Diana, not Boneng.” Sonya expected that and he nodded his head slightly.
“Then, no wonder you had that reaction when you heard my name before, Lucas.” Lucas continued, “Diana’s the Lawrence family’s future master.
The Old Master sent us on a mission to Agrela to bring him back to the Lawrence family.” ”Future master? Agrela?” Sonya was stunned, but he instantly recovered himself, ‘He’s a son-in-law that’s going to stay at his wife’s parent’s house?!’ Sonya was also well aware of Agrela.
It was a small country even further away than Salleria to Astren.
Suddenly, Sonya’s eyes lit up.
It seemed that he guessed what Lucas and Fabian wanted. When Lucas saw Sonya’s gaze, he explained, “Everything was smooth sailing when we went to fetch Diana.
However, we met an unexpected encounter mid-journey, and Diana was murdered by a warrior who suddenly appeared.
Moreover, it was a suicide attack as before we caught him, he ended his life with poison.
We only found this poisoned dagger in the warrior’s body.” Lucas tossed the palm-sized dagger toward Sonya with a swift move, and it stabbed into the ground near his feet.
The dagger glowed in a faint green light.
Soon, the grass surrounding the area where the blade fell slowly wilted. “Someone indeed arranged for the suicide warrior, but Diana was also killed in front of.
us.
Hence, this means that we didn‘t do our job well in protecting him.
If we return empty-handed, the Old Master will discipline us according to the family rules, so we might even lose our lives.
Based on our understanding, the Old Master valued Diana.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent us so far away just to bring him over.
Furthermore, if we don’t return and report our mission, our family members that are living with the Lawrence family won’t be able to skip death once the news about Diana reaches them.” Then, Lucas looked at Sonya meaningfully and continued, “Abraham, you understand our dilemma now, right?” Sonya pondered for a moment and nodded.
“Lucas, Fabian, when you noticed that I resembled Diana, you thought of substituting me as Diana and hoped that I’d agree to pretend as him? Then, we’ll return to the Lawrence family, and I’ll become the son-in-law.” Lucas answered, “That’s the plan.
