Raising my Fiancè with Money

No Regrets

He had enormous power that weighed on others with a single word.

Even Lilia confessed her secret, which she had hidden from her family, in order to approve him.

That her fiancé has betrayed and is considering breaking up.

But she had no regrets.

It was an opportunity that would never happen again, and it was the best reward she could get.

Lilia needed the status of Karhan.

Not even Richard would dare stand up to the Evantheon family.

In exchange for Evantheon’s shield, Lilia was able to give Karhan more wealth than the door of Count Delotta.

It happened to be the same title as Delotta, so she could say that this was a better condition.

It was a kind of equivalent exchange, exchanging what each other needed.

‘And you don’t have to have a conscience against Stella.’

Stella Delota has made things difficult so far.

Their families were not on good terms, and every time they met, they had a quarrel.

Lilia wanted to be a good fiancé, so she cared so much about her reputation that she was a pushover every time.

Finally, the opportunity to give it back has come.

‘But before that, it’s a priority for Evantheon to accept the deal.’

Lilia was confident in persuading Karhan.

* * *

Three days later, it was the day of the appointment.
After simply dressing up, Lilia got on the carriage as less noticeable as possible.

She still had time until the appointment, but she was planning to go out early because she had business nearby.

The carriage, which reached the main street, passed by the clock tower, the venue for the appointment.

Then Lilia found a man standing under the clock tower.

“Wait, stop.”

The carriage stopped when Lilia was in front of it.

Lilia removed the curtains completely and carefully examined the man through the window.

It was Karhan Evantheon, who seemed to stand out from afar.
Lilia checked her watch, wondering if she had mistook time.

“There’s still a lot of time left.”

She was thinking about looking around the place for an hour.
She was dumbfounded and laughed.

Most high-ranking nobles would be deliberately late for appointments.

It was because it was a simple way to recognize that the position was higher for the opponent.

Many people were late for hours to put their energy on the red pepper paste but Karhan didn’t seem to think of such a shallow trick.

Lilia, a woman of great integrity, glanced at Karhan, who was standing there.

Passers-by went around avoiding Karhan.

Everyone looked desperate not to make eye contact.
She thought she knew the reason why.

He was just standing, but she felt a sense of intimidation because it was rare to see someone standing there with such presence.

Moreover, he was dark from head to toe, so they must be scared of the attention one would receive.

“What a waste of face.”

He didn’t know how advantageous he would be with a handsome face.

She wanted to do something about his dull clothes first.

‘Now that it’s done, I think I’ll have to put off my business.’

It was a little too much to leave him for an hour.

“Oh, my God!”

An old man who was passing in front of Karhan stumbled on a stone brick.

He didn’t fall, but from the envelope he was holding, food such as apples and bread scattered on the floor.

Karhan, who was standing around, bent down and picked up an apple.

Then the old man knelt down in surprise.

“Oh, no! This is my family’s food for the day.
Please, this much.
.
..”

It was a reaction as if Karhan had robbed him.

The old man begged, saying no, and people around him began to whisper when he saw it.

Karhan held out the apple without saying a word.

The old man hurriedly snatched an apple and lifted himself up.

And he ran in the other direction as if he were running away.

Karhan looked silently at the old man’s back.

As if this situation were familiar, there was no expression shown in his face.

“…..familiarity doesn’t mean it’s okay.”

She thought it was a good point to be swayed around without being able to refuse.
A passive person who doesn’t know how to go first.

However, Lilia changed her mind a little after seeing him just now.

He was a good man by nature.

He helped the elderly even though he knew they would be misunderstood.

‘I wonder how he didn’t reveal his personality yet.’ 

“You came early.”

Lilia approached Karhan pretending she didn’t see anything.

Karhan, who turned his head, seemed a little surprised as if he had not expected her to come.

“When did you come here?”

“I just got here.”

“Did you know we still had an hour left until the appointment?”

“…… in case I was late I came early.”

Karhan, who answered slowly, looked at Lilia.

He seemed to ask why she came so early.

“I came out early because I had something to do nearby, but it was canceled.”

To tell the truth, it was a man who would tell her to do business with him because he said it was okay.

Lilia, accompanied by a white lie, took a step first.

“It’s not something to talk about here, so please follow me for now.”

Lilia took the lead and Karhan followed putting a certain distance between them.

She walked east from the clock tower.

They passed through a three-story fountain in the small square-like center of the place, passing through numerous signs.

Leaving the busy streets, stretched houses were huddled together.

An alley appeared as she turned around the corner of the wall covered with Ivy.

She continued to walk through the alley until there was a store at the end of it.

It was the only place in the shade that had sunlight.

It was a very remote place, so only acquaintances could visit.
Karhan looked up at the wooden sign with a picture of a tea cup.

It seemed to be a teahouse.

Lilia opened the door and went in first.

The store had a cozy and clean atmosphere.

Each table had a simple partition and curtain, and sunlight came through the oval shaped window.

All the tables and chairs were luxurious, and each prop was carefully touched.

It was a great store that would have been better if it was located in a good place downtown.

But the location was vacant, so there was no one inside the store.

Lilia walked inside the store and sat down.

It was like she was the master and entered what she owned without hesitation.

Karhan, who hesitated for a while, sat on the opposite end.

“Didn’t you bring your attendants?”

“There’s one, but they couldn’t come because I had something to do.”

Still, he is Evantheon’s successor, so it’s natural to bring in an escort.

When Lilia wondered, he continued.

“Most people don’t even think about what’s coming.”

She was roughly convinced.

It was quiet around Karhan earlier.

Looking around carefully, he murmured.

“But it’s very quiet.”

“I told you, no one comes here.”

“Are you on a loan?”

“No, it’s my shop.”

He looked like he didn’t understand straight away.

Lilia picked up the menu at the end of the table and she continued as if she were talking about her daily life.

“I bought it two days ago.
The whole neighborhood of this store belongs to me.”

Lilia stuck out the menu to Karhan, who blinked in embarrassment.

“What do you want to eat?”

“…….the same thing as Young Lady.”

“Can you prepare two cups of tea for me?”

Lilia’s voice echoed through the store.

Then Malik, the escort knight standing by the door, entered the kitchen.

While Karhan was looking over there for a while, Lilia cleaned up the menu.

“Then get to the point, have you thought about it?”

Lilia proposed a deal that would help each other break up with their ‘obstacles’.

Technically, Karhan was not yet engaged, but the conversation was going on.

Karhan clasped his fingers together without saying a word.
The elongated fingers were entangled and loosened.

After a long time, he talked with great difficulty.

“In fact, I’m here to turn down the offer.”

Lilia blinked her eyes.

She didn’t think he would want to turn the offer down with a face like that at all.
