Raising my Fiancè with Money

Books

While Lilia and Karhan were shopping, the three men waited outside. As soon as Lilia left, the surroundings became very quiet.

Franchse glared at Tesion with all his might while Tesion was mindful as he knew that he had been rude to Lilia earlier.

Since he was an aide to the little duke, Franchse could not say anything but stare at him.

However, Tesion ignored Franchse and looked through the window into the store.

He was worried that Karhan might make a mistake.

Malik, who was caught between the two, sighed. In fact, Malik, like Franchse, did not like Tesion.

However, both of their masters would continue to be involved with each other in the future, so there was nothing good about having a bad relationship between the subordinates.

Malik sighed inwardly.

“I think we’ll often see each other from now on, so shouldn’t we make a common statement?”

“Brother!”

Franches shouted at Malik looking as if he had been betrayed.

Tesion slowly turned his head at Malik’s words.

“I see, I apologize for the late greetings. I’m Tesion Herben.”

“I’m in charge of escorting the lady. My name is Malik Shade.”

Malik glanced at Franches after revealing his name. Frenches avoided his gaze as he pursed his lips.

But Tesion didn’t seem to care at all.

Rather, he treated Franchse like he wasn’t even there. Malik sighed when he saw that the two men had no intention of getting close with each other.

Malik, who was agonizing over what to say, suddenly opened his mouth again.

“The little duke seems to be a good man.”

When the praise for Karhan came out from Malik’s mouth, Tesion completely changed his attitude.

His green eyes glistened.

“Right? There are a lot of people who misunderstand him just by looking at his outer appearance, but he’s actually really nice.”

He had been thinking about it for a while, but Tesion seemed to have great loyalty for Karhan. Malik praised Karhan because he thought that doing so would bring them closer.

At that time, Franchse, who was still sulking, suddenly shouted.

“My lady is a good woman too!”

No, why are you…

Malik looked at Franchse with a speechless look. He turned slightly and headed toward Tession and Malik.

“It’s all thanks to my lady that I’m here as an escort.”

Franchse raised his shoulders with a very proud face.

“She let me learn swordsmanship and even gave me a job!”

Malik laughed inwardly, everytime Franchse had a chance, he would always brag about how great of a person Lilia is.

He has heard about it a hundred times already.

“So she’s better than anyone else.”

Tesion, who was listening quietly to Franchse, opened his mouth having no intention of losing.

“Lord Karhan is the benefactor who saved my life.”

Tession glanced at Karhan through the window.

“We first met on the battlefield.”

He explained that he was the third son of a count family and that he went to war for the honor of the family.

However, he, who was not particularly talented with swordsmanship, was overwhelmed by trying to survive day by day.

“Death was……whether you were a noble or a commoner, we were equal.”

There was an incident wherein a unit was on the verge of annihilation.

Tession, who had injured his leg, was alone and had been left behind in the middle of the battlefield as all his colleagues ran away.

He thought he was dead, but a miracle occured. A man, covered in blood, appeared in front of him.

At that time, Tession thought that the bloody man would kill him. The man who had his back turned against the sun looked like a reaper.

However, he carried Tession on his back and began to run. He was helping others even though his life could come in danger.

Later, Tession found out that the man who helped him was the infamous murderous Evantheon little duke.

Whatever the rumors were, Karhan saved Tession. Since then, Tession had been following Karhan, claiming himself as his aide.

After the explanation, Tession raised his voice.

“Since then, I’ve decided to follow Lord Karhan for the rest of my life!”

Franchse clenched his fist at Tesion’s words.

“My lady is…!”

Franchse began to praise Lilia once again, and Tesion was not one to be pushed back either. Malik, who was watching the two, smiled inwardly.

At times like this, porridge would fit well.

They raised their voices and had a compliment fight, and the store door opened.

“Thank you! Come and take a look again soon!”

Lilia left the store followed by the chant of employees. Lilia stopped in her tracks when she saw Franchse and Tesion making loud noises.

“They seemed to have gotten close?”

“Become close!”

(T/N: he repeated Lilia’s words in shock)

“Absolutely not!”

Franchse and Tesion immediately answered. As Lilia snorted, Tesion immediately managed his expression.

“Somehow, I got caught up in it and showed an immature side of me.”

Now that he stepped out on his own, Franchse mumbled to himself as if to rebuke Tesion’s words.

“You were the most excited…”

“You.”

Tession glanced at Franchse.

Lilia blinked slowly at the sight.

Earlier, they acted as if they weren’t going to be seeing each other eye to eye, but they seemed to have gotten closer as they quarreled.

“Aren’t you all hungry? Shall we have lunch?”

When everyone agreed, Lilia led them to a restaurant where she remembered having a delicious meal from before.

Lilia and Karhan sat down together in one table, and the remaining people sat separately.

Lilia pushed the menu out towards Karhan.

“Choose what you want to eat first.”

For him, who rarely made his own decisions, Lilia patiently waited.

Shortly after completing the order, a series of appetizing dishes were placed on the table.

As the dishes were placed, the two could see each other’s tastes. Lilia liked dishes with meat, while Karhan liked dishes with vegetables.

‘How do you maintain your body by eating only these vegetables?’

As she was thinking that, Karhan took a plate of meat from her side, he picked up the knife and started cutting the meat.

The thick meat was gently and easily cut like pudding. When he finished, Karhan put the plate in front of Lilia.

The meat was cut evenly so that it could be eaten without difficulty.

Lilia looked down at the plate without saying a word.

“Somehow…..It’s like a real date.”

When Lilia muttered to herself, Karhan paused. He put down the knife and raised his head.

He solely looked at her as his deep blue eyes reflected Lilia like a mirror.

“If this is a date, I think I can do better next time.”

In a subdued voice, he said carefully.

“I’ll learn hard, so Young Lady please teach me.”

“Then can you call me by my name from now on?”

Karhan missed the spoon that he was trying to pick up when he heard her words.

That sight of him made Lilia laugh a little.

* * *

After the meal, Lilia and Karhan stopped by several more stores.

The time had passed much more quickly than she thought, so she decided to put an end to it for now.

When they arrived in front of the carriage that Lilia would be riding, Karhan asked cautiously.

“….How was today?”

“It wasn’t bad.”

At first, his voice sounded like a little squeak as if it were a broken toy, but later on, he found he was adjusting himself and his tone.

He then breathed a sigh of relief as if he were relieved by Lilia’s response.

“I wonder if Young Lady was feeling troubled because of my personality….”

Karhan looked up and faced Lilia.

“I want to do my best without bothering you during the contract period.”

She felt like she was looking at a timid but passionate new employee.

At first, she was quite worried when they first signed the contract, but Karhan has improved himself a lot.

However, this much was still not enough.

She wanted to change his passive personality and attitude but she was not confident in doing so.

“It could be changed.”

Lilia looked directly at Karhan and put more strength into her voice.

“I will work hard to help you from now on.”

“……Yes.”

After hearing his answer, Lilia’s smile deepened.

“Then the next time we meet, bring the least useful thing you’ve ever had that you bought recently. It’s even better if you didn’t open the package.”

Karhan tilted his head slightly.

He looked like he couldn’t figure out the reason for this.

“I’ll explain it to you by then. See you next time.”

Lilia then got on the carriage first.

Karhan stood there and watched as the carriage moved away. When the three left, the surroundings became quiet in an instant.

“Sir Karhan.”

Tesion murmured as he stood behind Karhan as he watched the carriage disappear towards the direction of the Bloden mansion.

“Bloden Young Lady seems like a good person.”

He came out today with a firm commitment to reveal her true intentions, but Lilia persuaded him instead.

In particular, she was the first person who was able to tell what Karhan was actually thinking just by looking at his face.

Tesion glanced at Karhan.

At first, his face seemed to have softened.

Tesion blinked without realizing it. It was unusual for Karhan to show such emotions.

Even this was apparent because he had been with Karhan for a long time, because it was definitely a tremendous improvement.

Tesion thought that it was very good that they came out today.

“There’s going to be a lot of trouble ahead.”

However, the future was still uncertain.

The people of the Evantheon family would never agree when they see the change in Karhan.

The elders wanted Karhan to remain as a puppet as he was now.

His mother, Duchess Evantheon, was not interested in Karhan.

Rather, she tried to sell out Karhan by making him take part in unwanted engagements.

The reason why she chose Delotta over numerous prestigious families was because of their money.

Karhan’s face turned a little dark at the words of Tession.

“I have to try harder because I’m not good enough.”

Tession let out a sigh at the appearance of Karhan who blamed everything on himself.

Karhan had long been accustomed to conformity.

It would take awhile for my father’s stomach to heal.

“I’d like to go somewhere where I can read.”

At Karhan’s words, Tession glanced at the books in his hand.

The cover, which is all pink, has caught the eye since earlier. Before separating, Lilia handed them over to Karhan.

He wondered what kind of books she had bought, so Tession checked the titles of the books.

Tession rubbed his eyes against the back of his hand.

He was not mistaken, was he…?

He suddenly became a little nervous, of whether this contract relationship would succeed or not.
