I Became a Villain who Receives Obsession

89 – Old Memories

The first time Reina saw Lian was 10 years ago.

She still remembered this day.

Leonard, the head of the Eisteen family, who was a count at the time, had a close relationship with the head of the Altane family, so the two families often came and went.

At the time, the Altein family was a prestigious count family with power equal to that of the duchy.

As Leonard, who values the reputation of the family, and the Altane family, who sees the potential of the Eisteen family, come to an agreement, the two families slowly push for engagement.

It was the result of both families having only one child and the interests of both heads of families who valued fame.

Before the engagement ceremony, Raina and Lian had their first meeting at the Eisteen family’s mansion.

“You don’t have to worry about it. After all, it’s an engagement that the parents arranged on their own.”

A boy with unkempt hair who is far from the dignity of a nobleman.

He yawned at the end of every word, and was the exact opposite of the fairy tale prince Raina had always imagined.

Still, the engagement has already been fait accompli.

I couldn’t act like a child forever.

Whether you like it or not, you are now destined to spend the rest of your life with the boy with the messy hair. Because she is the only daughter of the Aistin family.

But Reyna vowed that, like her own father, she would not bow her head to the Altanes.

People will think that their father and Count Altane are close and hang out often, but

The father Rayna looked up to, Leonard, is always naive whenever he returns to the mansion, or that he has two faces. He was prone to gossip about Count Altane.

Still, the Altane family is one of the most prestigious families in the Empire.

Leonard pressed ahead with the engagement despite being humiliated, as the reputation of the Eisteen family could have been enhanced by staying close to the family.

But family reputation and engagement are two different things.

Reina said to Lian in front of her.

Even if we get engaged and get married someday, he won’t give his heart.

Unlike her father, she vowed that she would not bow down to the Altane family..

It was a scene that Leonard would have gone on a rampage with, but Rayna thought it was the right thing to do.

“Yes or no.”

But the words from Lian were unexpected for her.

Even the same count family has a difference in reputation. Nobles take this very seriously.

So, in a way, the behavior of Reina, who belongs to her lower family, to Lian was like she looked down on the Altane family.

If she had been a normal noble, she would have raged and demanded her apology from her. Reina and she were also preparing her heart to some extent.

But Lian didn’t care about this at all.

He just looked at the distant mountains, yawning as usual.

There, Reina felt rather annoyed.

She spent several days choosing her dress to meet her fiancée, and was caught by her maids and dressed up for hours.

The boy in front of her was not even paying her attention, let alone giving her attention.

Since she was Raina, who was popular with her peers and the heads of other families at social churches, she had hoped that Rihanna would stare at her in awe as well, but she didn’t even try.

This irritating man just acts like he doesn’t care about the world, let alone himself.

Although it is purely an engagement decided by his parents, he is a man who will have a couple’s kite in the distant future anyway.

It was said that he was someone he could spend the rest of his life with, whether he liked it or not.

‘My father said it was an important engagement….’

Although she can’t meet the prince on a white horse whom she longed for and longed for, she can’t act like a child forever.

“Garden… Would you like to take a look around?”

I really didn’t like it, but anyway, the two will become a couple in the distant future.

For the sake of the parents who are having tea time over there, you need to be friendly with the man in front of you.

Lian listened to Raina’s suggestion and started moving ahead.

Whether she accepted her own offer or just wanted to go somewhere else, despite his selfish behavior, Reina didn’t break the smile on her lips.

‘The real worst man.’

Looking at the back of Rian, who is leading the way, I hope that he will lead the garden with determination.

The two stopped at a flower garden on the other side of the mansion.

Rian stopped exactly.

“There was no need to look back. Compared to our mansion, it is infinitely small.”

Fast.

It was the sound of Reina’s teeth grinding.

She replied to Lian, biting her lip and killing her emotions as best she could.

“… We are the Counts.”

“I knew that, but I didn’t expect it to be this much. The lawn is in good condition, and the condition of the flowers and trees is not good either.”

“Yeah, but you’ll be satisfied inside the mansion. And there are pretty flowers here too.”

“Flowers don’t suit me. And the materials that make up the outside of the mansion don’t seem very good either. Is it really the count’s mansion?”

Lian pours out harsh words while fiddling with the flower buds that are planted in the ground.

Behind him, for the first time, Reina could feel the feeling of humiliation.

Could this be what her father felt for Count Altane?

I wonder if he resembles my father exactly, even the way he speaks without thinking and touches me with his mouth.

Isn’t Leonard still receiving more shame than this on the other side?

Is this engagement really that important after enduring such insults and humiliations?

Is family reputation really that important?

‘I hate it.’

Raina didn’t like it being so easy to decide who she would spend decades with.

If she had to connect with a higher family, she wanted someone who would at least respect and cherish her.

Maybe it was because of that thought.

Reina couldn’t stop her words from coming out of her own mouth.

“So how great is that?”

“… What?”

“How great you are, is he just saying that? Seeing you say that, it must be a mansion comparable to that of a duke, right?”

Reina then put her own mouth shut. She

Because she realized what she was doing and what she was saying.

What she did now was undoubtedly an act of ignoring the Altair family.

No matter what happened in the past, the Count’s family must not act in disrespect to the Altyn’s. As mentioned earlier, the Altane family is not only a family with power equal to other ducal families,

It’s because she’s currently in the process of getting engaged to the Altane family.

At this rate, the engagement ceremony might not have happened.

She’s a good thing on her part, but her own father wouldn’t let that happen.

I’m sure he’ll do anything to Count Altane to make up for it.

So Reina bit her lip and squeezed her hands tightly together. She

She And she just bowed her head to apologize for what she said and did.

She

No bow.

“No? Our mansion is no better than here.”

“… Yes?”

The words from Lian were completely unexpected for Reina.

“Did the roof on the annex side collapse some time ago? Maybe it rained yesterday.”

The house is aging and the wallpaper is cracking, or there is a strange smell,

Rihanna began to gossip about her own mansion.

It’s not enough that she insulted someone else’s mansion, and she’s talking so badly about her own house.

It was also unacceptable for a child from an aristocratic family to act like that.

For example, all the people I met at social churches often boasted about their families and mansions.

Lian’s gossip continued even while Reina thought so.

“I don’t know how long it will last in its outdated glory. I really cannot understand.”

“… House owner?”

“Yes, the person who was sitting in front of Count Eisin earlier.”

“….”

A title that sounds like calling someone else.

Lian only called his father Count Altane.

Of course, there are cases among nobles who call their parents along with their title, but in his case it was a little different.

Reina felt an unknown sense of déjà vu from Lian’s words, which seemed to have nothing to do with her, and did not contain even the slightest hint of her feelings.

“As for Count Altane… Isn’t that your father?”

“Not really.”

“But why….”

“I’m not a great man like that.”

Reina couldn’t help but be surprised once more by Lian’s remarks, which were her own blood relatives and degraded her family head.

Everyone has a contradiction.

Whether it be a person, object, or animal.

For Reina, the opposite was the existence of Lian. It’s also a contradiction that goes to the atrocity.

Until I met you today, the rumors about the Altane family I had heard were not the worst, they reached the extreme.

It was the same today.

Looking at his tone and attitude of ignoring the opponent, Reina realized that her feelings were not wrong.

“If I had been a little older, I would have become the head of the household long ago.”

However, it was hard to believe that Lian’s speech and behavior that I saw later belonged to a 10-year-old boy.

Reina I’ve also been told that she’s mature even though she’s 9 years old, but she’s not quite as mature as Rihanna.

In terms of revealing the shame of her own family and pinpointing the wrong points of her family head

He was the type of person Raina had never seen in a social church.
