Raising my Fiancè with Money

rds it and picked up the paper immediately.

“What is this?”

The embarrassed Karhan only averted his eyes.

Tesion, who quickly read the contract, suddenly started to shout,

“Karhan! Did you get scammed without me present?”

“It’s not a fraud, but…”

It was already too late to hide it.

Karhan thought about it for a long time and decided to tell Tesion honestly.

As Karhan slowly began to talk, Tesion’s face became increasingly shocked.
When the explanation was over, Tesion trembled.

“A contract relationship, how could you do such a big thing when I went away…”

Karhan, who was looking at him, said quietly.

“Because it’s my own decision.”

Tesion looked blank for a moment at Karhan’s reply.

What he said was not a mistake, it was a decision of his own.

It was very strange because it was Karhan, the one who would always nod at the demands of others.

Tesion looked down at the floor for a moment with a serious face.

It wasn’t long before he looked up.

“When is the day you promised to meet Bloden Young Lady?”

“……Four days later.”

“I’ll come with you then.”

Tesion murmured with determination.

“I’ll have to check it out myself.”

The day of the second appointment with Karhan came.
While getting ready to go out, Lilia recalled what happened a few days ago.

On the day she exchanged contracts with Karhan, Lilia told her parents that she was dating him.

The two were shocked, and the count dissuaded her and asked her to reconsider.

However, she did not actively break her engagement with Richard because she was worried that Richard would get back at her.

Lilia had been planning on what she would do in the future.

For now, it was a priority to break up with Richard while posing as a lover with Karhan.

Although she declared that she wanted to break up, Richard had yet to agree.

Under the imperial law, a break up required mutual consent.

Most of the time, couples broke up through an agreement, but if one side unilaterally wanted to break up, it would turn into a crazy fight.

In severe cases, it took a long time to get to the trial.
She was also worried about the ending of the matter.

While she was lost in thought, she heard someone rushing in.
In time, a little rough knock could be heard.

“Come on in.”

As soon as Lilia finished her words, the door burst open.

It was Malik who came in.

He took a breath as if he had just finished running.

“Lady, we’re in trouble.
I don’t think you’ll be able to make it to the appointment today.”

“Why? What happened?”

It was about the teahouse that she bought last time.
It was also the secret base she met up with Karhan in.

Malik’s face became mysterious.
Then, his mouth opened suddenly.

She liked the expression, but the situation didn’t seem to look good.

“An official letter came from the Imperial Household today…”

‘An official letter from the royal family? Don’t tell me…’

Lilia looked at Malik with anxious eyes.

After Malik’s explanation, Lilia let out a deep breath.

“I’ll have to send someone to the Duke of Evantheon to inform them the change of date of the appointment.”

* * *

Lilia, who hurriedly changed the appointment, walked through the busy street.

She couldn’t remember the right place, so she asked to see them at the Orgel store.

When she arrived at the Orgel store which she bought last time, the newly selected clerk greeted her.

She liked the freshness that emitted from the store.

Entering the store, there was a space decorated as a drawing room.

She couldn’t look around properly last time, but it was more cozy than she had thought.

There were not many customers in the store at the moment, so it was okay for it to be used as a temporary base.

As she was about to sit on a fluffy sofa, she heard footsteps nearby.

It was Karhan who was squeezed in between the curtains.

Lilia, who was about to say hello, paused for a moment.

Karhan was not alone.

Lilia, who saw a dark green-haired man standing behind him, asked,

“Who are you?”

“……my assistant.”

Karhan, who seemed embarrassed, apologized first.

“I broke my contract by mistake.”

Lilia could only roughly grasp the situation.

Perhaps the aide found out about the break up alliance agreement.

“Do you believe in him?”

(T/N: Lilia is asking karhan if he believes in his assistant)

“Yes.”

“Then that’s enough.
My guards know as well.”

Therefore, it didn’t matter if there was at least one person on Karhan’s side who shared the secret.

Lilia looked at the man and he greeted her first.

“This servant is called Tesion Herben.”

“Nice to meet you.
This is Lilia Bloden.”

After the greeting, Tesion assessed Lilia.

However, he wasn’t able to catch anything from her, so he acted as if he was shaking off the dust on the clothes.

Tesion, who finished his assessment, frowned.

“By the way, you changed the agreed place on the day of the appointment……but you did not ignore us.”

The atmosphere quickly subsided at Tesion’s words.

Franchse and Malik, who were standing behind Lilia, became irritated, and with that, Karhan quickly gave a look towards Tesion.

Lilia opened her mouth.

“I’m sorry.
It’s my fault.”

Tesion flinched as if he didn’t expect her to apologize.

“Excuse me, I can’t go through with the appointment at the moment.”

“Why can’t you go…?

“There was an official announcement today that our original base had been designated as a redevelopment area by the Imperial Household.”

“……Yes?”

Tesion was embarrassed and asked again foolishly.
Lilia spoke calmly as if it was already a familiar occurrence for her.

“This may happen often in the future, so I hoped for you to understand it beforehand.”

And then she added at the end.

“Because I’m quite lucky.”
