Raising My Fiancé With Money
Chapter 47
A White Lie For Him
TL: Jasmine
There were various reactions, from those who were worried she was being threatened to those who stared at Karhan. Karhan seemed to have a very bad reputation among the elder nobles.
But it was a stupid idea to pretend like this. Among them, there were several high-ranking nobles who still had influence over the empire. Karhan, who will become a duke in the future if all goes well, would also receive a lot of help from.
Lilia lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip gently,
“To be honest, my heart…… It hurts.”
“No, why….”
When she murmured as if she was upset, the elderls were at a loss. Everyone was weak against Lilia as they had seen her since childhood. Lilia deliberately showed signs of sadness with her eyes looking down a
little.
“The Young Duke of Evanteon just purely likes art, but I’m upset that he is misunderstood like that.”
“…… The Young duke?”
At the suspicious gaze, Lilia looked at him as if asking why they didn’t believe in him. Then everyone quickly shut up.
“And it’s true that my father invited him.”
Even if hadn’t, it would be better if she could talk to her father later. The old nobles whispered for a moment. When Lilia said that, there was no one more to bite. Lilia nailed it altogether.
“There’s no bad person who likes art, right?”
“…… That’s right.”
The old noble people nodded unexpectedly.
“No one is bad among those who like art.’
It was the foundation of the art-loving group. They still glanced at Karhan with suspicion. No matter how much they looked at him, it was difficult to grasp what he was thinking. However, after Lilia came, they could feel his expression softening a lot.
Lilia quickly opened her mouth, looking at the reactions of the elderly,
“It’s because the Young Duke is shy, but he is actually a sensitive person.”
Shy……? They looked at Karhan, who was standing with a harsh look on his face. Lilia poked Karhan in the side and whispered softly,
“Karhan, puppy.”
Karhan, who was stiff from nervousness, came to his senses. ‘Puppy’ was the code between the two. He was to imagine running around with a puppy he raised as a child. However, Karhan recalled when Lilia, who praised him and smiled at her image, not the puppy.
The moment he smiled lightly, his ferocious impression was completely cleared. The sharply raised eyes went down, softening the atmosphere.
Their expressions looking at Karhan as if possessed were quite worth seeing. Certainly, Karhan’s smiling face had a great effect.
‘If you smile, you are very likeable…….’
It was a pity that no one knew Karhan’s smiling face so far. The handsome face, which was hidden by the fierce energy, finally saw the light. As their sharp gazes were removed, Karhan slowly opened his mouth.
“I should have said hello first…… I’m sorry.”
When Karhan bowed down first, the nobles only coughed in vain. Some people still didn’t like it, but they looked more relaxed than before.
“We went a little too far.”
It was not common for the elderly to break their stubbornness. This is because once the perception is created and locked on, they are obsessed with it. Their attitudes did not change completely to a favourable one, but it was a remarkable achievement inofitself.
“By the way, I think we’ve been holding onto you both for too long.”
“Please come to the meeting sometime. Miss Bloden.”
The nobility said goodbye and said they would go. Finally, the elder Duke Evantheon, who had not spoken until now, and Karhan met their eyes. At the elder’s gaze, Karhan slowly blinked.
It wasn’t long before they swarmed away. Tession, who confirmed that they had completely disappeared, said with a very relaxed face,
“That’s great. You made an impression on the elderls.”
In order to be recognized as a successor, a lot of help from the elderly nobles was needed. It was weak support, but it was definitely a step in the right direction. However, Karhan looked sullen. As his black eyebrows drooped down, Lilia looked at him still.
“…..I think I’m still lacking.”
The conflict was not resolved properly until Lilia came He thought he had changed a lot, but this time Lilia helped him.
“Don’t be in a rush.”
At Lilia’s words, Karhan slowly lifted his eyes. Lilia’s face filled his field of vision.
“It’s never easy to change the personality you’ve had all your life. You’ve cleared up the misunderstanding, so you’re doing well enough.”
With a smile that seemed to be dripping sugar, Karhan licked his lips. His heart trembled like when he was enjoying his favourite picture from earlier.
“Young Duke! You’ve been waiting for a long time, haven’t you?”
At that time, someone from far away happily called Karhan. At the familiar voice, Lilia slowly turned her head. The moment he met her eyes, Lilia opened her eyes roundly,
“…Dad?”
Cliff took a breath and stopped there. Cliff looked very embarrassed as if the hidden secret had been discovered. Lilia roughly grasped the situation

‘It was true when he said he was invited by my father earlier.
Anyway, since when did the two of them start meeting each other without her knowing? When she
invited him to the mansion last time, her father didn’t like Karhan….. Lilia asked Cliff,
“When did you send an invitation to the Young Duke?”
There was an earthquake in Cliff’s eyes. As Cliff licked his lips like a crucian carp out of the water trying to breathe, Karhan quietly opened his mouth,
“I told the Count that I wanted to come.”
“Y, yes…..! I sent an invitation because the Young Duke asked me many times.”
At this time, Cliff nodded. It was clear that if the news got into Heinley and Violet’s ears through Lilia, they would stir-fry him. He might be branded as a traitor and hear a voice of disappointment, asking if he had already been handed over to the little fiend. Cliff didn’t want to be hated by Violet.
Lilia looked at Cliff with suspicious eyes and asked,
“Is it true?”
“….. Yes”
Karhan replied, slightly avoiding Lilia’s gaze. She could see he was lying, but decided not to point it out.
“Why didn’t you tell me? I can send you an invitation.”
“When I was invited to the mansion last time, I had a chance to talk to the Count separately.”
Cliff, who was standing with a guilty face, was moved. Karhan told a white lie for him. Cliff coughed out a dry cough while looking at Karhan with a moved look,
“Anyway, that’s what happened, so don’t misunderstand.”
“Well, okay.”
Lilia nodded roughly.
“By the way, when did you come?”
“A while ago, I went around the first floor and came up. There are a lot of good works.”
“It’s a relief if you’re satisfied. Of course, it’s unfortunate…….”
Cliff had a face of lingering regret. He has been planning the exhibition for quite some time. However, most of the works exhibited at the exhibition had already been released. He tried to put a new, unpublished work as the flower of the exhibition, but in the end he couldn’t find a new favourite work
While talking about the exhibition, Lilia recalled what happened earlier. And she said, looking at the direction in which the elders disappeared,
“Just now, members of the art-loving group went there.”
“I should go say hello.”
Cliff turned his head and said his farwells to Karhan with warm eyes,
“Then take your time and go back.”
“Thank you for today.”
She wasn’t sure, but even she felt a warmth between the two. Lilia, who was watching quietly, wondered what the hell had happened. Cliff went away, and Lilia asked,
“Did my dad do anything to you?”
“No. Rather, he helped me a lot by explaining the works.”
That’s a relief. It’s suspicious, but she decided to let it go.
“Since we’re here, do you want to take a look around?”
Karhan blinked slowly instead of answering. Joyful eyes shone blue. When the emotions were revealed in his eyes, Lilia thought.
“You must have been bored watching alone.’
Lilia and Karhan slowly went around the second floor. Karhan had already finished looking, but he quietly followed Lilia. And he enjoyed the painting that resembles Lilia, which he kept paying attention to.
“It looks warm overall, perhaps because of the color. It’s soft and gentle.”
“I think so, too.”
Karhan nodded eagerly.
“It’s my favourite painting on display this time.”
Karhan looked strangely proud of Lilia’s review, Karhan took his eyes off the painting and looked at Lilia. From the first time he saw it, he wanted to show it to Lilia, and he was happy to be able to appreciate it together.
After going around the second floor, the two came down to the first floor. They hadn’t met due to an appointment, but it was a little disappointing to break up like this. Perhaps the same was true to Karhan, but he rolled his eyes only.
“It’s a little early, but would you like to go out for a quick dinner?”
Lilia made the offer first.
“There are places where fruit wine is good. Oh, you don’t drink, do you?”
“….no!”
Karhan replied quickly.
“I am going to drink from today.”
