Chapter 15: Raising my Fiancè with Money Chap

I’m Quite Lucky

The hallway that was lit by the late afternoon light felt solemn. The mural of the family’s history seemed to be alive and it felt as if it would move at any moment.

It was an admirable hallway, but to Karhan, it seemed as if he was walking into a deep cave.

The steady beat of footsteps resonated quietly in the hallway.

It was not long before when two employees encountered him, but they quickly left with their heads down. It was as if he was facing something that he shouldn’t see.

At the end of the hallway, there was a door attached to a room where there was not even a window for light to come through.

Karhan, who stopped in front of it, opened the door.

It was not until when the door fully closed that his upright body fell into a slight slouch. This was his only resting place within the vast Evantheon mansion.

Entering the bedroom, Karhan sat on the bed and stared at the small mirror opposite from him.

The oval shaped mirror captured the reflection of himself. It felt quite unfamiliar to see himself wearing bright colors.

As he raised his eyes a little, he could see a blunt face staring back at him.

-Practice your facial expressions when you get home.

Before parting ways, he remembered what Lilia said. Karhan slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

However, his eyes were still fierce and a corner of his mouth seemed as if it was hung with a hook.

He didn’t think it would be this hard to smile.

-I gave birth to you from my own stomach, but I don’t know what you’re thinking. 

-Don’t laugh because it looks disgusting. 

A voice that he had forgotten for a moment popped out of nowhere.

The corners of his mouth dropped with a slight tremor. As expected, he didn’t know how to laugh naturally.

Karhan got up to take off his coat.

Leaving his shirt unbuttoned, he was lost in thought for a moment.

She was such a strange woman.

He had always been told by others that they didn’t know what he was thinking, but she had been able to see right through him from the very beginning.

And it wasn’t just that.

She came to him without any reason, helped him, and got angry when he tried to give her money.

Then, she suddenly asked him to make a deal with her, dragging him into it.

“…… ”

Instead of taking off his clothes, Karhan pulled out their contract.

On the white paper, the conditions of the contract relationship were written with black ink.

At first he went out to reject Lilia’s offer.

When she expressed her intentions, Lilia asked him an unexpected question.

-What’s your opinion? 

– ……my opinion? 

-It’s not for anyone else, but it’s the little prince’s engagement. You must be the one to make the decision. 

Karhan seemed to have been hit on the head. It was his first time since someone asked for his opinion.

He had been accustomed to thinking that following other people’s opinion was his fate.

Others’ opinions were more important than his own. So there was always only one option in Karhan’s life.

To leave it to others and accept the result.

He didn’t know when it had started. He just thought that it would be good for everyone.

However, Lilia said his opinion was more important than anything else.

Karhan asked himself questions for the first time.

‘Will I continue to be disregarded?

As soon as he asked that question, a faint ripple spread in the corner of his heart.

As if it had been stuck after a long time, the ripple grew bigger and bigger, causing small waves.

The waves soon became waves that touched Karhan’s feet.

There was only one thought left in the place where miscellaneous thoughts used to run rampant but were now thrown away.

‘I want to change myself.’

So he decided to hold Lilia’s hand but he wasn’t sure if he could be of any help to her.

At least there were a lot of things that he had to try from now on to avoid bothering her. Karhan came to his senses when he heard a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, a man was standing in the hallway.

“I’m back, Karhan.”

A man with dark green hair greeted him politely.

His name was Tesion Herben.

Karhan’s aide and the only one that Karhan had around him.

“I’m sorry I’ve been away for a long time…”

Tesion, who slowly raised his head, was surprised to see Karhan and widened his eyes.

“..what’s that outfit?”

He was prepared to hear Tesion’s questioning, so Karhan gestured for him to come inside.

As soon as the door closed, Tesion started nagging.

“I told you to only wear dark clothes!”

“……Do I look strange?”

“No, it looks great on you! But…!”

Tesion had forced Karhan to wear only dark clothes numerous times. This way, he would not look like he was too easy.

“It was hard for me to hide your personality…”

Tesion pondered.

Until now, it was entirely thanks to Tesion that Karhan had not caught the attention of others.

He knew that Karhan had a personality which allowed others to use him anytime.

Because of that, there had been many times when his life was almost at risk on the battlefield.

So when Karhan became the successor, Tesion thought he should do something before Karhan could be swayed by others.

Tesion followed Karhan around and cut off all those who approached him with unknown intentions.

On top of that, just in time, rumors began to circulate surrounding Karhan.

The effect that the rumor made was good as it caused Karhan to be completely isolated.

“Did you go to the banquet like that?”

Karhan shook his head.

Then Tesion sighed with relief saying, “I’m glad.”

“You have to go out as unnoticed as you can. Or they’ll soon find out about your personality.”

“…….”

“If it weren’t for urgent matters, I would have followed you……By the way, did you do what I had told you to do?”

Tesion urged Karhan before leaving.

If someone talked to him at the banquet, he would ignore them. 

Just show his face and come back as soon as possible. 

Don’t get involved with others. 

Karhan, who had attended all the parties, was briefly silent.

“No way…”

At that time, a piece of paper on the bed caught Tesion’s eye.

Tession strode towards 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.”
