Raising my Fiancè with Money

Avenge Myself

Lilia spoke calmly.

“I have a good feeling about that.”

Lilia was quick-witted and good at analyzing others.
What are they thinking, how they felt, and what purpose they approached her for.

Sometimes she noticed what others would say before her opponent even brought it up.

Some people said it was comfortable, but others felt uncomfortable.

“I’m sorry if I offended you.”

“No.”

He shook his head at Lilia’s apology.

Still puzzled, Karhan muttered to himself.

“…….first time.
Someone who recognized me at a glance.”

His upright position was loosened.

As the tight thread loosened, his body line became much more natural.

The reason he’d been rigid so far is because he must’ve been nervous.

“I’m used to being misunderstood.”

After some hesitation, Karhan opened his mouth.

He seemed unfamiliar to himself, as if he had never uttered such a frank statement.

Lilia turned completely and looked at Karhan.

His lips were as heavy as an iron door that would not open, but his blue eyes contained numerous words.

As if to ask permission, he looked at Lilia.

It was new to see a man who was used to giving orders.

“I’m listening, so keep talking.”

In Lilia’s answer, Karhan had difficulty bringing up the next word.

“Everyone seems to be scared of me.”

Karhan’s face was still expressionless.

There was no gap between his expressions as if a needle wouldn’t go in.

She thought she knew why people were scared.
He was as if he were emotionless.

“I don’t speak very well, and it’s not common for me to continue this conversation for so long.”

Karhan blinked slowly.

Then, the energy he had that felt fierce was immediately relieved.

This situation seemed to be unfamiliar, and he looked pure and happy.
Lilia, who was looking at his face as if she were analyzing it, felt a little pity for him.

She wondered if there was a little bit of make-up, but it wasn’t.
Lilia’s expression became softer.

Karhan murmured relievedly with a sweet face that seemed to listen to everything, whether it was a confession or a statement.

“Maybe it’s because my face is very ugly.” (T/N: LMFAO)

“.

?”

The unexpected question left Lilia speechless.

‘Am I mistaken about the word he just said?’ 

No, if that face was hideous, there would be no one here who would approach him.

To be honest, if she put him on the altar, she would have thought he was a statue.

“Why do you think so?”

“Everyone gets stiffened just by looking at my face.”

‘I think it’s because the rumors are so strong.’

In addition, he had a fierce impression and a harsh expression.

It would be much better if his expression got softer.

“It’s a look, um….”

“Is it too serious?”

“No, not at all.
How about smiling normally? I think that’ll be fine.”

When Lilia offered a solution, he pondered for a moment and pulled up the corners of his mouth.

For a moment, Lilia was so surprised that she held her breath.

‘It’s really serious.’ 

She got even more scared but she just let out a laugh.

A handsome but more brutal villain seemed to say, “You’re dead now.”

“Isn’t this?”

Karhan, who saw Lilia’s reaction, returned the corners of his mouth to its original form.

His shoulders drooped as he looked sullen.

Lilia looked at him quietly.

In fact, Karhan didn’t have to try to change himself.

It was advantageous to look like he was now, to reign from above.
If others knew his true personality, it would be easy to take advantage of him.

As far as the rumor goes, there’s no one to blame in front of him.

She felt sorry for his status.

‘Identity?’

Her dull headache cleared up in an instant after drinking.
Lilia looked at Karhan properly with her head straight.

Karhan Evantheon, standing in front of her, was the man who would rise to the highest position except for the royal family.

And few people seemed to know his true self.
Suddenly, a good idea came to her mind.

“Evantheon, the Little Duke?”

Lilia called him with a smile.

It was a smile full of self-interest, but she looked very affectionate as if an angel had come down.

“So you want to clear up the misunderstanding so that no one else is afraid of the little duke?”

“Huh? …..
yes.”

When he answered honestly, Lilia’s smile deepened.

She looked exactly like her parents who were merchants.

“I think I can help you with that.”

“How…”

Lilia took her back off the railing and walked forward one step at a time.

The distance between the two people standing at the end of the terrace immediately drew to a close.

Karhan stepped back without realizing it.

But it was a tightly closed door that touched his back.

The sun set a long time ago.

The blue light of the twilight covered the terrace.

Dark shadows cast over Karhan.

“Instead, you should do business with me.”

Lilia’s purple eyes twinkled like stars in the dark.
Karhan looked at the eyes as if he were possessed for a moment.

“Of course, it’s not a bad condition for a small craftsman.”

Karhan came to his senses belatedly.

In time, a thin arm came out and brushed his shoulder.

He suddenly became surprised and his expression hardened, Lilia hit the slightly open curtain firmly.

‘So that no one could see this side at all at the banquet hall.’

Thought Lilia, who slowly collected her arms.

“It’s about forming an alliance and helping each other break up with one another’s obstacle.”

The slow blinking blue eyes stopped.

He didn’t seem to understand what she was saying.

Lilia spoke in more detail.

“I want to break up with my fiance.
I don’t think the little duke wants to get engaged.”

“But I can’t….”

“Then you’ll be engaged to the stalker.
You mean?”

Karhan stiffened his shoulders.

Lilia continued, facing his stiffened face.

“I know a little bit about Delotta, but I think she’s getting more and more obsessed.
She might always interfere when you both get married.”

Karhan’s complexion turned pale.

He seemed to have imagined an obsession that would get worse than now.

But he couldn’t answer easily.

“You don’t have to answer right now, so take your time.”

Lilia stretched out her arms and opened the door on the side of Karhan’s back that was not touched.

The doorknob went open with a click.

Lilia whispered as she passed Karhan.

“See you three days later at two o’clock in the middle of Redison Street at the third clock tower.”

Her whispering was like the wind and the door closed, her voice scattering.

Leaving the terrace, Lilia looked at the banquet hall.

As the sun set, the banquet hall was filled with sparkling lights.

Maybe because it was evening, the atmosphere was more ripe than before.

Men and women who danced along with the music, whispered in the corners.

She looked around as if she were in front of a wide range of cheap canvas and took a step.

There was no reason to stay here anymore.

Originally, she came to inform Richard of the wedding, but she didn’t think it was necessary.

‘If Evantheon’s little duke cooperates with me, I’m going to break up my marriage right away.’ 

Lilia left the banquet hall immediately.

Coming out of the dimmed garden, Franchse and Malik, who were waiting, approached her.

They looked around naturally.

It was to make sure that there was no one who followed or looked dangerous.

Finally, their eyes were fixed on Iilia.

“Lady, did you enjoy the banquet?”

“Did anyone do anything strange to you?”

Lilia smiled lightly.

Looking at the eyes full of loyalty, she felt that they were on her side.

‘As long as I’m good to my people.’

It was useless to be nice to everyone.

As Lilia realized that again, frances’ expression got worse.

“What really happened inside is….”

“Huh?”

Franchse shouted, “I’m going to draw a sword from my waist.”

“What kind of man is he? I’ll…!”

“Nothing happened.”

Lilia stopped him late.

Frances looked as if he were a nobleman when he stood still, but he ran like a municipal jubilee when it came to working with Lilia.

He was so good at cursing, and most of Lilia’s harsh words were learned from him.

Nevertheless, there was only one reason why he became an exclusive escort.

Ability.

Shortly after the coming-of-age ceremony, Frances was, to the best of Iilia’s knowledge, the greatest knight in the Empire.

“Well, I’ve seen an annoying face.
…”

“What kind of guy is he?”

When she recalled Richard and said it, Frances glanced at her eyes.

Malik, who usually plays the role of a mediator, also had changed his gaze.

If Lilia named him, they would have dragged him down right away.

When Frances acted as if he was about to run inside, Malik put his hand on his shoulder.

“Frances, if you make a scene here, you’ll be a nuisance to her, so bear with it.”

“But… …”

Frances clenched his fists as if he were angry.

Then Malik dragged him aside and said something.

Lilia heard something about the attack.

She smiled at them.

“I’m fine.
It’s nothing to worry about.”

Lilia looked at the banquet hall filled with colorful lights.
There, surrounded by others, laughing and noisy hearts stood out.

As she raised her head a little more, she could see the terrace where she was standing earlier.

Evantheon, the little duke.

The wind blew.

Lilia’s bright blond hair was taken by the wind, swinging back.

She, who swept her hair, took her eyes off the terrace and said,

“I’m going to avenge myself.”
