Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 13: Alicia Raven

"I was checking some interesting articles online."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Ronald's interest piqued.

"It's about an unusual low-level dungeon. I'll tell you about it later." Though Luis was bull-shitting. Half of what he said was true. Such a dungeon exists, but it's not the time to deal with it. Of course, it's better if his father's guild purchases the right for that dungeon.

Putting that matter aside.

"Are they not here yet?"

"They have arrived at the Transportation room just now. Will be arriving at the mansion any minute."

"Ah, here they are." With Lumine's words, Luis' eyes subconsciously glanced toward the entrance.

Luis' mind went blank of any unnecessary thoughts, and only one thought remained.

'So beautiful.'

Blue eyes as deep as the ocean and as beautiful as aquamarine, the treasure of mermaids. Her skin was a perfect porcelain white, with no blemishes and a smoothness that seemed to lack any impurities. Her thin eyebrows and those delicate yet small rose-colored lips. Her raven-like hair was so smooth and reflecting, like obsidian, and as soft as black silk threads. She had a cold and indifferent expression on her face. As if she was close yet distant. Even though she was here but she wasn't within anyone's reach.

An Otherworldly beauty, which was true for Luis, as he was in another world indeed.

'Holy cr*p, she is so beautiful.'

'Is it normal for people in this world to be so beautiful?' He felt that might be the case, given his handsome face.

'Is that my fiancee?'

'Did the Lady luck bless me? Is it my time for spring?'

'I've never seen a girl so beautiful, even in my previous life. She would put all those top celebrities to shame with just her looks.'

Luis was freaking out inwardly. But on the outside, he had a poker face on. As usual, he was so calm, as if her beauty didn't affect him in the slightest.

'I'm so glad to have Performer (S) talent. Otherwise, I would have been embarrassed to death if they saw me freaking out.'

Only now did Luis notice that beside her was another person. Dark auburn hair, a stern expression on his face, a light moustache, and a beard. It was a person he was a little familiar with.

'Isn't that David Raven?'

Raven family was also one of the strongest families in Tryston city, just like the Suarez family. Though the Suarez family still had more influence compared to the Raven family because of Ronald's father. Henry Suarez, who was one of the heroes of humanity. David Raven and Ronald Suarez were good friends. But Luis had only met David a few times when he came to discuss guild matters with Ronald.

'Wait, if he is David Raven, that means?' A sudden thought came to his mind, but he didn't want to believe in it.

"That's Alicia Raven, your fiancee. How is she? Beautiful, right?" Lumine whispered near him. Trying to tease him or at least get a reaction out of him.

Luis still maintained a poker face. But inwardly he was screaming.

'WHYYY?'

'What is going on?'

'What kind of plot is this?'

'Alicia Raven, of course, I know her. She is one of the heroines.'

'Why is a heroine here?'

'There was no plot like this.'

'No wait. In the game, there wasn't supposed to be any Luis. Maybe as per the plot, Luis was considered missing, so the engagement was broken and all this happened before the start of the first game.' That is the most probable reason.

'But now that I'm alive. The talk about the engagement will continue. I guess.'

While all these thoughts were going on inside Luis' mind. He gently welcomed them with a smile.

Ronald warmly walked up to David with a smile, "Hello, David."

"Hi, Ronald."

Both of them bumped their fists and greeted each other with a grin on their faces.

"Let's have a drink tonight." Ronald seemed happy meeting his friend.

"Okay stop, stop, both of you can discuss that later." Lumine stopped them before they could run off to the wine cellar.

David's attention turned to Lumine, who stopped them.

"You look gorgeous, Lumine," David said with a teasing smile on his face as he glanced at Ronald.

"Thank you, David," Lumine replied sweetly.

Ronald snorted and didn't say anything.

David then turned to look at Luis. "You have grown into a handsome young man."

"Thank you, Uncle David," Luis replied with a polite smile. But inwardly, his narcissism was very active. 'Of course, I'm so handsome that I've begun to admire myself.'

David smiled and immediately turned everyone's attention to Alicia.

"Meet my daughter."

Alicia gave a small nod and walked forward.

"I'm Alicia Raven. Nice to meet you." Her face wasn't indifferent or cold, but she still maintained her poker face. It seems she was trying her best to be polite.

Her less-than-friendly attitude didn't bother Luis one bit, as he knew the reason behind it. So he still smiled politely and replied.

"I'm Luis Suarez. It's a pleasure to meet you." He gave a small bow and didn't try to get too close to her.

Alicia looked into his eyes and didn't show much of a reaction.

"Hello Uncle, Hello Auntie."

As Alicia greeted them, Lumine warmly walked up to her.

"You look gorgeous, dear."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Then everyone made their way to the dining table. The maids served the sumptuous meal prepared by the chefs. Many varieties of dishes were prepared for tonight's dinner.

As everyone started eating dinner and chatted happily. For some reason, Luis felt like he was being excluded.

'It's only my imagination, right?'

He glanced to his right where Ronald and David were chatting together and laughing out loud about some funny jokes which he couldn't find the humor in.

Then to his left, where Lumine was excitedly talking to Alicia, and her indifferent expression also softened a little. Luis was a little curious and wondered what kind of talk could make Alicia Raven soften her expression.

She was, after all, famous for her cold attitude and indifference.
