Raising my Fiancè with Money

Chapter 13

Let’s Break Up, Richard

The Marquis of Terssian is one of the meritorious family, and has been receiving the royal family’s nocturne from generation to generation.

Based on that they established their position and became quite influential in the capital and Richard was the successor of the Marquis of Tersian.

Richard wasn’t very interested in his successor classes since childhood. He would naturally become a marquis after time anyway.

He preferred to hang out with others rather than to study, and with his father’s halo on his back, he freely went to the Imperial Palace.

The day he entered the Imperial Palace as usual. That day changed Richard’s life.

Richard headed to the garden he discovered some time ago.

It was a deserted place, so he could play without having to look around.

And when he got to the garden, he found a girl lying by the pond. Richard ran to the girl in surprise.

Perhaps she had fallen into the water, but the girl had lost her consciousness.

-“Excuse me!”

He thought it was unlucky at first.

From head to toe, she wore expensive stuff.

‘She must be from a noble family.’

Her eyes started to slowly open.

‘If this girl goes mistakens this encounter, I might be falsely accused.’

He was thinking about running away like this, but her eyelashes were shaking like wings.

Soon after, the tightly closed eyelids opened, and purple eyes were revealed.

-……!

When the girl coughed, Richard swallowed a sigh of relief and asked.

-“Are you all right, Young miss?”

The girl nodded her head slowly.

Whether her voice wasn’t coming out or her lips trembled in shock.

Richard decided to stay with her as if he was trying to be generous.

Soon after, the family came and took the girl with them. A few days later, the incident was about to be almost forgotten in Richard’s memories.

A single girl was led in a string of golden wagons. She came into the mansion. She was the youngest daughter of the famous Bloden family, Lilia Bloden.

-“Thank you so much for saving me.”

She was mistaken. It wasn’t Richard who saved her from drowning, he just did what he had to do.

However, Richard told a lie to her surprisingly naturally. Fortunately, Lilia seemed to believe him like a still rock.

Lilia was saved, and he saved her life.

So, She gave him a reward for his bravery in saving her. Richard, who declined several times, pretended to receive it reluctantly.

Richard, who used to be extravagant every day as a reward, suddenly became greedy.

‘Have Lilia and live like she is now. I think we can do it.’

Since then, Richard had been working hard to gather information about Lilia.

He then recruited an employee of his family to find out Lilia’s schedule.

And under the act of sheer coincidence, he met with Ilya.

‘Does the young lady like it, too? I do, too.’

It was easy to be moved because he knew what she liked in advance. He was considerate, kind, and stressed that he was a decent person.

He also showed that he was not greedy for wealth to avoid the suspicion that he approached her because of money.

As the days went by, Lilia opened her heart to him and eventually became fond of richard.

Richard felt like an emperor.

Lilia Bloden was the best piece of gold he could ever get his hands on.

Besides, she had a nice and gentle personality, so if he said anything, she would’ve believed him instantly.

Richard used his money-spending lover to fill his vanity.

She became his fiance in their relationship, and eventually the two were on the road to getting married.

Richard was satisfied with his daily life now, but only one was on his mind.

It was that his love affair ended here.

-‘I’m still young and prosperous, but attached to only one person.’

And so he started playing at night, playing with a girl he met in a prostitute house.

It was very easy to win the favor of women with the money Lilia gave him.

The firework (T/N: lust/pleasure/need) grew bigger and bigger, and later, he had a regular secret meeting with a noblewoman, Young Lady.

She was a very arrogant woman. It was a different feeling from Lilia, who acted as she was told.

Looking for more and more stimulation, Richard called her home in broad daylight.

As he was about to enjoy it, Lilia came in and stood still.

She just looked in the air as if she was shocked. Richard blamed Lilia to avoid the immediate difficulties.

-I can’t believe you came into my room without knocking. Why don’t you be polite?

Obviously it was his fault, but if he gets a little too forceful about it.

Lilia then apologized first. So he thought this would be okay again this time.

Lilia trembled and ran out of the mansion, he thought what he did was a little too much, but he didn’t feel like chasing after her.

But he hadn’t heard from Lilia since and Richard didn’t bother to look for Lilia.

Time was going to fix everything.

‘Lilia liked me anyway, and the wedding will go well.’

But it might have been an illusion.

A month later, he and Lilia met at the banquet hall and she was very different.

The blurry look like watercolors is nowhere to be found, and it attracted everyone’s attention like oil paintings filled with colorful colors.

It wasn’t just the atmosphere that changed.

Her attitude toward him had completely changed.

As usual, Richard made demands to Lilia.

-“Yes, you heard that, right?”

-“Why should I?”

Richard’s embarrassed face turned red in front of everyone. Lilia had never been this cold to him.

It seemed that she was still angry about it.

He left her walking out on the terrace.

When her anger is relieved later, he thought he will give a strict warning to get about this.

Richard has always been hard on others.

After giving orders, he forgot about Lilia and had a good time with them.

And a few days after the banquet, today.

Richard came out to the main street for a change.

A woman he came across a while ago recognized him and clinged onto him immediately.

Richard walked along an alley filled with male costume rooms with her.

At that time, a familiar person was walking from far away.

It was certain that the distance between them was getting closer and closer, and by that he was worried.

“Lilia…!”

Richard was embarrassed and pushed himself away from the woman who was hanging like a cicada.

Lilia was expressionless, seeing Richard and the woman.

She took turns looking at them.

‘I can’t believe we’re seeing each other now, what bad luck.’

Richard strode toward Lilia, clicking his tongue inside his mouth.

“Listen to me for now.”

Lilia looked up as if to say something.

“We broke up badly last time. I was going to make up to you by giving you a present. But I don’t know what girls like, so I was just trying to get help….”

The speed at which excuses popped out of him was faster than lightning.

Lilia glanced at Richard.

It wasn’t long before she smiled.

A gentle smile relieved Richard.

It was at that time when he thought her anger was all gone, Richard thought to himself.

It was then.

“You’re going to buy me a present in a shop full of men’s rooms?”

“……that’s.”

“You don’t have to explain it to me so hard. Whatever you say, it sounds like an excuse.”

Richard’s slightly open lips closed.

“If you’ve been in a relationship for years and you don’t know what your lover likes, that’s all we have now.”

Richard could not refute it properly, as Lilia was very familiar with the retort.

He belatedly found the man standing next to Ilia.

“You’re the one who….”

But Richard checked the man’s face and stopped talking.

His complexion turned white in an instant.

“Evantheon, the Little Duke…?”

Looking down at him with a frightening face, he was Karhan Evantheon, called the murderer of the battlefield.

Richard was embarrassed and shut his mouth within a snap.

‘Why are they together?’

It was even more embarrassing because they had never contacted each other before.

“I was going to tell you, but it just happened to be a good time now.”

Richard slowly turned his head at Lilia’s words.

And Lilia said it with a bright smile.

“Let me introduce him. He’s someone I love.”

“…what?”

Richard’s face just turned pale a moment ago.

He just didn’t understand what Lilia said.

Lilia grabbed Karhan’s arm and entangled her arm around his arm.

Richard widened his eyes when he saw the action.

“It’s late, but I found my true love.”

Lilia whispered shyly.

Soon after, she found that Karhan was standing upright.

Their body’s were separate quickly got close together.

Richard stopped breathing the moment when he saw Karhan’s hand touching Lilia’s waist.

Only then did he understand what Lilia said properly.

“You were tired of me anyway. Good for each other, right?”

“…..what do you mean I’m tired of you? That can’t be true!”

Richard shouted.

‘It couldn’t have been true. I can’t believe Lilia loves someone other than myself. She smiled when she saw my face, and she said she liked me so much that she would buy me whatever I wanted. But Lilia’s eyes, which were always on me, were looking at another man.’

“This must be truly destiny. We fell in love at first sight with each other at the banquet.”

Lilia looked up at Karhan and smiled.

“Right, Karhan?”

Then Karhan’s shoulder shook a little and opened his mouth.

“Yes, Lilia.”

Richard’s lips trembled with a bewildered face.

They’re already close enough to call their names? They met for the first time at this banquet·····?

“You’re lying, aren’t you…?”

It was definitely a lie.

Evantheon, famous for his bad personality.

The little prince and Lilia fell in love, he was a man with no good rumors.

‘You love the demons of the battlefield, who has blood in his hands?’
