Normal Relationship

It was not that her luck was quite good….

Tesion’s expression looked exactly like that.

This incident gave Lilia an amount 50 times than that of the original market price.

The real estate investment had hit the jackpot and she sat on a pile of money overnight.

However, Lilia was not happy at all.

She needed a quiet place where she could take a rest rather than getting money.

This was the problem with Lilia’s fortune. She was forced to receive money without even trying. There were many cases where her own power was not allowed.

“Have a seat first.”

Karhan sat across from Lilia, while Tesion remained standing.


Franchse and Malik then proceeded to stand behind Lilia.

“It was arranged in a hurry…. So there’s nothing to serve you at the moment.”

“It’s alright.”

Karhan said calmly.

Lilia asked Franchse, who had been staring hard at Tesion.

“Franchse, could you get me something to drink?”

“…Yes.”

When Franchse went out, the tense atmosphere was a little lessened.

There was a moment of silence, Tesion looked at Karhan once and then stared at Lilia.

“I need to talk to Bloden Young-ae.”

“Go ahead.”

“Please cancel the contract.”

Tesion took the contract out of his bag and laid it down on the table.

“I think it’s a ridiculous contract. I don’t know what the real purpose of Young Lady is, but please don’t involve Karhan.”

His behaviour was more like a guardian than an aide.

Judging from his actions of hitting the wall by bringing up the main point, he did not seem unskilled and it appeared to be that this wasn’t something he had done only once or twice.

It seemed that it was all thanks to Tesion that Karhan’s personality had yet to be revealed to others.

“Tesion.”

Karhan called him quietly.

However, Tesion didn’t stop talking.

“Karhan doesn’t like to get involved with others, so give it up.”

The expression disappeared from Lilia’s face as she calmly listened to him.

If Tesion had made a point about the contract relationship, she would have understood it.

If he had thought that Karhan was necessarily going to do something dangerous, she would have persuaded him calmly.

However, he was instead worried that Karhan would get involved with Lilia and become exposed to others.

Of course, he would still be unconvinced by her words.

If you used rumors as a shield and rejected others, you would be able to maintain your daily life. A life where you would not be swayed by others while hiding your real personality.

At first glance, it was not bad, but it was also a way to isolate himself from the world.

Tesion was acting like a parent who prevented their child from leaving the house because they were afraid that the child would get hurt.

“Did you say Tesion?”

“Yes.”

“Do you really think that he is a little princess right now?”

Tesion flinched at Lilia’s gaze, as if she had seen right through him.

“If you’re his advisor, then you are aware of the kinds of rumors the little duke suffers from, yes?”

Tesion was silent.

Rumors about Karhan did reach his ears.

Sometimes there were rumors full of malice which Tesion wanted to refute.

“It would be convenient for now if he isn’t getting involved with anyone. But can he live without interacting with the others for the rest of his life?”

“It’s not for the rest of his life, to go that far…..”

When Tesion tried to deny, Lilia cut him off.

“The misunderstanding will only get worse. If the person involved doesn’t deny it, who do you think will do so?”

Tesion lowered his eyes as he couldn’t say anything to refute.

“Why don’t you think about changing Karhan, instead of hiding him?”

“…….”

He looked as if he had never thought of such a thing until now.

His confused eyes shook greatly.

His head, which had been facing Lilia thus far, gradually fell down. Karhan, who was listening quietly, called him.

“Tesion.”

Tesion, who had lowered his head, slowly looked at Karhan.

Karhan’s face was cold as usual.

However, his deep blue eyes harbored countless words like stars.

“Thank you for your care so far.”

Out of all the countless words he could have chosen, the words Karhan spoke made Tesion bite his lips emotionally.

“But I want to change.”

Tesion gaped at Karhan in shock.

Up until now, in the name of protecting Karhan, Tesion had isolated him from the world.

He thought that it was the right thing to do, and Karhan went along with his opinion silently.

But, as it turns out, it wasn’t.

“….I’m sorry.”

Tesion’s face distorted.

Karhan stared at him silently without saying any words.

“I’m back!”

France stepped inside with a cheerful voice.

With his hands full of drinks, Franchse felt a strange atmosphere and stopped for a moment.

Franchse looked at Malik.

What was wrong with the atmosphere?

When he asked with his eyes, Malik replied the same with his eyes.

The young miss had enlightened the man.

Franchse, who had been standing still for a while, grasped the situation and raised his voice.

“Miss! I bought variety of them”

Franchse then began to deliberately serve the drinks on to the table with an exaggerated gesture.

It seemed as though he had robbed the store of everything since he wasn’t to buy anything specific.

“Should we drink something first then continue to talk about it in detail?”

Lilia picked up the bitter grapefruit juice.

With so many drinks in front of him, Karhan pondered for a moment.

He then naturally picked up a cup of black tea.

“Why did you pick that? You seemed to be the type to like fruit drinks.”

Karhan paused at Lilia’s question, then Tesion answered in his stead.

“Karhan doesn’t eat sweets.”

“You don’t like sweets? But you have a face that says it likes to eat sweets.”

Karhan hesitated at Lilia’s question.

Karhan, who was looking at Tesion’s eyes, said quietly.

“…. I like sweets.”

Tesion gaped his mouth as he was greatly shocked after hearing what Karhan said.

“No…., You liked sweets?”

When he was asked this question for the first time, Karhan replied.

“Because everyone didn’t recommend it to me.”

Tesion’s lips closed tightly, his face became complicated.

The fact that, until now, despite being the closest with Karhan, he didn’t even notice his tastes which made Tesion feel depressed.

Tesion pursed his lips then turned towards Lilia.

“But how did the young lady know about it?”

“It was written on his face.”

“…..?”

As if he fell into a labyrinth, Tesion’s head was only filled with question marks, he looked at Karhan again.

I had no idea….?

That was exactly his expression.

Lilia, who was watching the confused Tesion, put down her drink.

“Okay, now, I have to tell you why we signed the contract.”

Lilia gave the details of what had happened up until now.

Karhan and herself signed the contract because they had the same purpose.

She explained that they were to pretend being a couple for the time being and after shaking off their fiancé, they would then go on their own ways later.

Tesion was convinced only then.

“……I misunderstood.”

Tesion muttered embarrassedly.

“So far, many people have approached Karhan with impure intentions….”

“I understand.”

Frankly speaking, Lilia would not have asked for a deal if she didn’t know Karhan’s real personality.

If they had met for the first time during the banquet, she would have believed the rumors and would never have thought of getting involved with him.

“But what are your plans for the future?”

Tesion asked for further details on the terms of the contract

-Be faithful to each other as fake lovers for a fixed period of time.

“May I ask what a fake lover is?”

“It literally means to pretend as lovers that are head over heels for each other when they are in public.”

At Lilia’s explanation, Tesion’s eyes turned to Karhan.

“…….you can’t do that

“It seemed like that.”

I already felt it when we met Richard.

Karhan…. was not talented in acting.

If he couldn’t act, it would be nice to at least have a colourful expression, but he didn’t even know how to properly smile. Lilia recalled the last time she asked Karhan to smile.

‘I felt like I was in a dream.’

Karhan, who only raised his lips, was like a villain himself.

He couldn’t do it because he couldn’t force himself to laugh. In fact, it was urgent to put it aside and get close with each other.

“Then why don’t we practice since we are meeting today?”

Lilia, who had made a decision, asked Karhan.

“Little duke, have you ever been in a relationship?”

The surroundings quickly became solemn and Karhan was silent.

She didn’t think he had done it, it did seem like he had never done it before. Lilia slowly turned to face Tesion.

Tesion, who had been talking eagerly just now, avoided her eyes.

‘Well, yeah…. He may not have tried dating because he was busy.’

Lilia looked at Malik and Franchse who were standing behind her, Malik also lowered his eyes just like Tesion.

Malik was already at the age where he would already have two or three children, but he has yet to get married.

She had never even seen him talk about a lover. It seemed that he was not particularly interested in dating.


And Franchse….

‘It would be better for him to not date.’

His appearance was too different from who really was that the lover might run away.

On the outside, he looked like a calm and sophisticated young man who seems to be devoted to learning, but in reality, he was mischievous and played all kinds of pranks on others.

Eventually, Lilia, the only person with romantic experience here, threw an offer.

“We’re going on a date from now on.”

Everyone’s eyes grew wide at the word ‘date’.

However, if there was one problem that should be pointed, it was that Lilia only had experience in dating Richard.

It was a one-sided relationship that couldn’t even be called the term ‘dating’.

In the end, no one here had ever been in a normal relationship.
