Raising my Fiancè with Money

Invitation

When Lilia returned home, she immediately took off her clothes.

Although it was barely hit by the rain, it was damp because of the humidity.

The employee filled the bathtub made of rose quartz with warm water.

Previously, a huge-scale rose quartz was mined in the western mines, making headlines. It was such a high-quality gemstone that everyone wondered what it would be used for, but eventually, it was destined to become Lilia’s bathtub.

She immersed herself in the luxurious bathtub. The rose petals spread all over the place and then gathered again.

Hearing the tapping sound of the water, it was as if it was raining in the bathroom as well.

“As expected, the house is the best.”

Lilia raised her knees and dragged them into her arms. Her body became tired and her head became dull as if it were steamed.

As she was staying still, she naturally remembered what happened today.

The shoulders that touched each other while holding the umbrella seemed to be still hot. Lilia raised her hand and rubbed her shoulder for no reason.

When she finished washing up, the employees quickly dried her hair.

While she was being served quietly, someone knocked on the door. An employee who opened the door immediately found Lilia.

“Miss, the madam told me to inform you that you must attend dinner.”

“From my mother?”

It’s been a while since they ate together.

Everyone was busy, so they came to eat separately, especially after her falling out with Heinley, so Lilia avoided eating together.

“Tell her I will be there.”

Lilia got up from her seat.

After changing into appropriate clothes and drying her wet hair, it was time for dinner. Lilia left the bedroom and walked to the dinner hall located at the center.

The main building of the mansion was divided into three sections. The reason why the house was divided into central, western, and eastern sections was just because the mansion was too big.

It took 30 minutes to walk from the end of the east building to the end of the west building.

It is also under the assumption that you know the way well.

Fortunately, Lilia’s bedroom was in the middle, so it wasn’t far from the dinner hall.

Upon arriving at the dinner hall, the employee opened the door.

The gold-rimmed, leather-plated door opened, and the first thing she saw was a huge crystal chandelier.

Under the chandelier was a long table that could seat dozens of people.

On the table covered with silk, there were silver candlesticks and bowls decorated with fresh fruits and flowers.

The walls of the dinner hall were filled with famous paintings that were hundreds of years old.

Lilia walked straight to one place, not even looking around the fancy dinner hall.

The whole family was gathered at the end of the table.

“You are here.”

The first person she greeted was Count Bloden, who was sitting at the top.

“Am I late?”

“No, you’re just in time.”

The Count pointed to the empty seat opposite Heinley. The dinner began as soon as Lilia sat down.

The waiting employees put down the dishes in order. There were more than five light appetizers.

In addition, the seasoning was all different to suit individual tastes. Maybe it’s because she walked around all day today, she felt hungry.

While Lilia was eating, The Count, Violet, and Heinley exchanged gazes with each other.

After glancing at who would bring up the story first and how, opinions were gathered to naturally start the conversation.

“I am worried because there are no fresh works these days. When one comes up, they follow it.”

The Count brought up the topic with a sigh.

Count Bloden was the director of a famous art museum.

Because he was not built for business, he left it all to his wife, Violet, and ran a large gallery and art gallery.

His main job was to support artists, hold exhibitions and sell works.

Art has become more profitable than most businesses.

However, the Count was a man who really loved art, and instead of making money, he worked hard to nurture talent.

“It would be nice if an amazing newcomer came out. Now it’s rotten because it’s not done well.”

As he complained, Violet helped out.

“It’s hard for me, too, because my business has grown a lot these days.”

Violet asked Heinley, who was cutting the meat gracefully.

“Heinley, when are you going to help this mother?”

“Yes, give up your unearned public office and take over the family business quickly.”

When the Count urged him, Heinley put down the tableware aloud.

“I told you I didn’t want to. I’m happy with what I am right now.”

“Then who will inherit the business?”

The Count cried when he handed over the business to his wife because it didn’t really fit him. Listening quietly to the conversation, Lilia fiddled with the fork.

She was interested in business, but she hasn’t done anything.

Sometimes there was something she did to help her parents, but it was far from real experience. She couldn’t take on the family business simply because she wanted to do it.

‘Let’s discuss it seriously after the break up is resolved.’

“And Lilia, you…”

The flow of conversation naturally flowed over to Lilia. When everyone’s eyes were on her, Lilia blinked unknowingly.

“These days… How’s your meeting with Evantheon Little Duke?”

To the Count’s question, Lilia wiped her mouth and answered.

“I met him again today.”

“I didn’t hear it properly before because I was so busy, how did you end up meeting him?”

“We fell in love at first sight at the banquet.”

Lilia immediately came up with a story she had prepared with Karhan beforehand.

“….. Alright. I understand that you fell in love with him at first sight. I want to hear what you liked about him.”

It was a question of whether there was anything good about the vicious Karhan Evantheon.

Lilia agonized.

There were quite a lot of advantages that came to mind right away.

Kind, sincere, not pompous……. If you would like to choose from among them…….

“The affectionate point?”

There was a clinking, and a sound as if the bowl was cracking. Everyone’s eyes turned toward Heinley.

Heinley pretended that nothing had happened, picked up the spoon that had fallen on the bowl and put it down next to him.

Violet looked at Lilia again and asked.

“Is there more?”

“He’s a nice and polite person.”

In response to the sincere answer, the three looked at each other at the same time.

It seems like they are in big trouble.

Lilia must have been brainwashed by the Little Duke.

“The rumors are a little harsh… but he’s actually a good person.”

It’s not a little, but a lot of bad things, but in reality he was a really good person.

Although it was frustrating, it was hard to find such a good personality in the aristocratic society. She wondered how such a person was the heir to the duke.

Even if everyone else misunderstands, Lilia thought it would be nice to know the truth as much as her family did.

“Don’t worry too much. He’s not a bad person.”

She meant to reassure them, but their faces were filled with anxiety.

It was unclear where to point out.

The Count glanced at Violet and Heinley, asking if she thought Richard looked relatively good because he was such a jerk. While thinking about whether to bring up the Richard story or not, Violet stepped up first.

“Then, you will have to tell me why you broke up with Richard.”

Lilia paused at her words.

Now that Heinley and everyone are all here, she thought that it was time to tell the story and now she also has a strong shield called Evantheon.

It was getting harder to hide, so Lilia wanted to explain so that her family wouldn’t get as surprised as possible.

But no matter what she said, they seemed to get angry.

Lilia, who had been biting her lips for a long time, said the truth.

“Because Richard cheated on me.”

At that moment, the dinner hall became quiet. Then three people got up at the same time.

“Knife! Bring my knife!”

“Get the carriage ready now! Let’s go to the Marquis of Tersian!”

Violet and the Count cried

Heinley already had a knife in his hand without saying a word. Lilia had already expected this reaction.

“Everyone calm down.”

“Lilia! This thing happened, but why didn’t you say it!”

Violet shouted in a voice filled with anger.

Lilia kept her lips shut.

If it was a problem that could be solved immediately by saying it, she would have said it already.

No matter how much wealth Count Bloden possessed, the opponent was a marquis who had greater power.

It was clear that if they retaliated financially, he would retaliate by using his connection with the imperial family.

In particular, the Marquis of Tersian was her brother’s boss, so he will be directly affected.

But her family would step up for her without thinking back and forth.

No matter what the loss.

And the biggest reason she felt uncomfortable telling her family was…

“…I’m afraid I’ll hurt my parents and brother.”

Everyone stopped huffing at the words that flowed out quietly.

Lilia looked up at them.

Although initially opposed, the family thought Lilia would marry someone she loved and live well.

But because the other person cheated on her, it hurt not only Lilia, but also them.

“Everyone stopped me even before the engagement, yet I insisted on getting married.”

Lilia made eye contact one by one.

She didn’t want to hurt her family any more.

Even with their help, it was her who had to deal with this problem after all.

“So I want to solve this problem. I’m sorry.”

Lilia bowed her head.

The family didn’t say anything for a while.

They, who were standing up, slowly sat down.

“It’s not your fault.”

“Yeah, you didn’t do anything wrong, so don’t apologize. Because we’re always on your side.”

Violet and Count, who had a complicated expression, said one after another.

And lastly, Heinley asked.

“So what are you going to do…..?”

“Richard that jerk says he won’t break up, but Evantheon Little Duke says he’ll help.”

“He’ll help?”

“Yeah. Richard also couldn’t do anything recklessly about me because he was wary of Evantheon’s eyes.”

She couldn’t comment on the contract relationship, but this should be fine.

The faces of the family became serious.

So far, when Richard and Karhan were on the scale, they were on par.

But now it was leaning to Karhan’s side.

The three suddenly put their heads together and chatted.

“And Lilia says she likes him, so… maybe he’s a good person.”

“Or, well, we will step up.”

“I don’t like it, but I can’t help it this time.”

When the discussion was over, they sat down again.

And Heinley looked straight at Lilia and said.

“I’ll leave it up to you to do the Richard thing. Instead, we’ll be aggressive after the formal breakup, so don’t stop us.”

“I understand.”

After breaking up, it was only revenge at that time.

Lilia nodded quietly, as Heinley added.

“And we’ll have to see for ourselves.”

What…?

As Lilia looked up at Heinley, his eyes burned coldly through the silver-rimmed glasses.

“Invite Evantheon Little Duke to the house.”
