Raising my Fiancè with Money - Chapter 54

(02/02 Done]

TL: Jasmine

Lilia recalled Vanessa, whom she had recently signed a contract with

Introducing herself as Vanessa, she had a tremendous talent. It was the first time she felt thrilled looking at a charcoal painting. Lilia was very excited to see how amazing she would be if she was to paint an oil painting, which she majored in.

As soon as Lilia returned home, she told her father that a big newcomer appeared. Lilia shouted loudly to her father, who showed interest, that she would show it to him until the work was completed.

“Lady, how is it?”

Lilia, who deviated from her thoughts at the employee’s call, saw herself in the mirror. Bright blonde hair, like the end of the late afternoon sunlight, naturally drooped, and the makeup emphasizes only the eyes in a line that is not too dark.

“I want my lips to be more pinkish.”

Lilia made small requirements. She could have done as usual, but she was worried for no reason because she hadn’t seen him in a long time.

After checking the time, Lilia left the bedroom. As she went down to the front door, Frances and Malek, who had been waiting in advance, welcomed Lilia.

“Lady, you’re shining even more today.”

Frances poured out compliments. Lilia smiled and got in the carriage.

“Did you load the coat and stuff?”

“Yes, I moved everything neatly.”

Upon hearing Malek’s answer, Lilia leaned back against the back of the seat. Today was the day she will meet Karhan after a long time. The last time she saw him was more than fifteen days, it was a record that they hadn’t met for this long since they started the contract relationship.

There was no special reason to keep him away. Just… It was just that her mind was a little complicated,

Even though she was going about her daily life, sometimes Karhan’s mature appearance when she last met him would pop into her mind. She couldn’t forget the way he looked at her with slightly red eyes because he was drunk.

So far, Lilia thought Karhan was an innocent but quite a good contractual partner. She was pretending to be a lover, but she had no intention of really dating him.

But that day… Lilia felt a strange feeling. Her body was cold, but her chest was warm. It was strangely itchy where Karhan’s eyes touched. The seeds pushed out in her heart as though they were sprouting.

Since then, Lilia has not contacted Karhan. Anyway, she taught Karhan almost everything, so she thought it was time to keep a moderate distance.

She had busy days. In the meantime, there has been no contact from Karhan. It was Lilia who always contacted first. Lilia thought that she should meet him after a long time. She was going to return the coat she borrowed from him.

Lilia looked out the window silently. She had just exited from the mansion’s garden. As she was looking at the scenery, Karhan came into her head again.

Suddenly, the last time she met him, she remembered that he was trying to say something. She asked if he was busy with his successor’s class, and Karhan seemed to have tried to answer it. Karhan’s expression looking at her with a slightly pale face kept bothering her.

“What was he going to talk about?’

Sooner or later, it would be better to ask secretly. A cool breeze came through the open window. Her neatly drooped hair fluttered in the wind.

The meeting place was getting closer. It was the destination just around that corner. Lila began preparing to get off slowly.

Thud!

The wagon shook violently. Lila’s body also staggered, along with it.

“Lady!”

“Are you okay?”

Frances and Malek immediately asked her. Lilia replaced the answer with a nod. The carriage stopped, and she heard a horseman shouting from outside,

“Can’t you drive the wagon properly!!”

“It’s you that can’t!!”

Malek heard the horseman’s voice and grasped the situation.

“It seems like a collision has occurred.”

“Brother! Hurry up and take off your clothes!”

Quickly, Frances pulled at Malek’s coat, saying it was important to get a head start in the fight. Malek was the largest of them.

Frances urged Malek as he had a trustworthy body, whereas Frances had a slender physique and fine muscles.

In an instant, he took off his coat and pulled his shirt sleeves to his forearm. Malek put his chin on the window and his arm on it. After a long knight’s life, the scarred arm stretched out. Then the opponent’s horseman became quiet for a while.

“I knew this would happen.”

It was a law more powerful to show once than to say ten words. Frances looked at Malek’s forearm with envy. Frances, who did not have such strong forearms, was always looked down on.

“What fuss is this!”

“Young master!”

Another voice intervened from the outside. Lilia looked outside through the window. A man who appeared to be the owner of the carriage came into

view.

“I think I’ll have to go out.”

“Lady, stay inside. We’ll deal with it.”

Frances clenched his hand, saying it was fine.

“Don’t cause any trouble”

Malek lightly pressed Frances’ shoulder. Unlike his calm voice, Malek had lost his usual smile. Lilia was almost hurt, so he looked angry.

Frances and Malek got off the waggon. Lilia watched the situation with her face against the window. The owner of the opposing carriage appeared to be a nobleman. The man seemed to be with an escort of similar size to Malek.

Frances and Malek, the owner of the carriage, the escort, and two horsemen. As many as six men began to fight with a buzz.

“Isn’t it you who didn’t slow down?”

“Do you have any evidence? Huh?”

“Can’t you see I crossed the line?”

“You should have gone down the road on your own!”

Malek calmly spoke on the grounds, but the opponent was rather angry. Frances, who was next to him, smirked saying whether he was angry. If it had been before he would have gone out ready with his fist. but it was worthwhile to train hard.

“Do you know who I am? I’m going to be a count soon! What family are you?”

In the end, the opponent began to condescend with his status. Lilia checked the sigil stamped on the back of the opponent’s carriage. It was a count family located on the outskirts of the capital. Previously, a member of that family flattered Richard and she remembered it.

Lilia sighed and got off the waggon. When the doon opened, everyone stopped talking for a while. Lilia spoke to the Young Count with an expressionless face,

“I am Bloden.”

The Young Count, who was staring at Lilia for a moment, flinched. He belatedly found the seal of the Blodon family stamped on the carriage and opened his eyes wide.

In the meantime, Lilia quickly skimmed through the two carriages that caused the collision. The carriage over there was far beyond the centre of the road. It was obviously the fault that lied with that side.

“I think it’s your fault. If you apologise now, I’ll let it slide.”

“A, apologies? Me?”

“Or should I call the security guard?”

His face turned a little red.

“No, even if you are Bloden, is it okay for you to come out like this?”

A large escort knight standing behind the Count Young lord came out menacingly. He did not lower his momentum, perhaps to scare Lilia.

“That punk…”

Frances couldn’t take it any longer and put his hand on his sheath. It was at that time when the sword, fight was about to take place,

“Lilia….”

A familiar voice was heard. Everyone turned their heads in the direction of the sound. Karhan frowned when their gazes fell to him all at once. His habit of being embarrassed came out.

The Count Young lord and the escort knight who saw Karhan gasped. Karhan, who frowned, was hideous. In

addition, today’s Karhan was quite different from usual.

Karhan’s shirt had no buttons on top, so his collarbone was revealed. In addition, it fitted tightly to his body and highlighted his shape. Through the thin fabric, his hard body could be seen slightly.

He was frowning, so the current Karhan right now looked like….. It was reminiscent of a gangster in the back alley like the guards misunderstood last time.

Karhan, who had stopped for a while, walked this way, He was a tall person who stood out from a distance, and when he came close, he was intimidating and gave out a lot of pressure.

The Count Young lord held onto the hem of the escort knight without breathing. But, even the escort knight was frozen. Instinctively, he realised that he was no match for Karhan.

“… I’m sorry.”

The Young lord apologised quickly. Everyone began to beg for forgiveness, saying it was their fault. Money and status were all useless if they were beaten and killed here.

“Leave.”

Lilia waved her hand as she saw him lowering down his tail to the strong. She didn’t want to waste any more time. Since she memorised which family it was anyway, they would surely meet again someday.

The Young Lord hurriedly boarded the waggon. Like an arrow that escaped the protest, the carriage left immediately. Karhan, who had only appeared, asked,

Lilia,

“Did I do something… Did I make a mistake?”

“No. It was just perfect.”

“……I guess there’s still people who are scared of me.”

He thought it had changed a lot, but as Karhan muttered that he was still lacking, Lilia folded her eyes and reassured him.

“Do you know? If a person changes suddenly, he or she dies. Take your time. Slowly.”

Karhan nodded with a gentle face.
