Raising my Fiancè with Money

Duchess of Evantheon

Karhan looked at Stella quietly.
He thought he was mistaken, but it was really Stella Delota.

“Evantheon, are you on your way out?”

Stella quickly approached Karhan.

“How….”

He was speechless because he didn’t know where to start.
It was dinner time when no visitors were being accepted, and he didn’t even get word that Stella was visiting.

He was relieved that there were no sudden visits these days, but it seemed to have started again.
Karhan felt uncomfortable with Stella.

Her endless obsession was like a web wrapping around him.
He showed signs of discomfort several times as if he was being watched every step of the way, but all of them were ignored.

And the decisive reason to be reluctant to her is…

As Karhan’s eyes sank dimly, Stella flinched.

However, she seemed to have no intention of retreating easily, so she straightened her shoulders and raised her head.

“It’s raining too, are you thinking of putting me here?”

Tession, who couldn’t continue to watch, stepped up.

“It’s evening, so please tell us your intention to visit next time.”

“Did I come somewhere I couldn’t come? It’s not even that late.”

She said it was still early evening, and yet Stella was rather displeased.

She shouted at Karhan, ignoring Tession.

“My legs hurt.
Let’s go in first.”

Karhan took a step away, thinking that the clothes he changed would get wet at this rate.
Stella followed Karhan with an umbrella-covered employee.

Arriving at the front door, Stella naturally tried to get inside.

But Karhan looked straight at Stella with his back to the front door.

“What do you have to say?”

Stella paused at the low voice.
Maybe because of the rain, Karhan looked even more cold.

At that moment, numerous romance novels that she has read so far passed through her mind.

(Q/C: Moron)

Stella clenched her fist.

If she gets involved here, she’d be no different from the supporting roles.

It was the law that only a confident heroine who was not discouraged could win over the bad man.
There was even a justifiable reason to visit him this time.

“I heard a strange story.”

Stella looked straight at Karhan.
Stella’s face was reflected in his bizarrely blue eyes.

“The story of you going out with Bloden Young Lady.”

In an instant, Karhan’s eyes shook.
Stella, who didn’t miss it, asked.

“It’s a lie, isn’t it?”

There was a gap in the tightly closed mouth.

Karhan replied without avoiding her gaze.

“It’s true.”

(Q/C: I am so fcking proud of you)

Stella’s eyes opened wide and he said something he would never have said before.

“I am dating the Bloden Young Lady.”

Unlike his calm voice, Karhan’s fingertips were trembling but once he uttered it, the next words came out easily.

“I’m sorry to the Young Lady, but please don’t mention about the engagement.”

“Evantheon!!”

Stella, who belatedly came to her senses, shouted in tears.

“How can you do this to me?!”

“…….”

“Why does it have to be that girl!!”

In the tone of criticizing Lilia, Karhan frowned without knowing it.
At the moment Stella faltered, but unlike last time she did not back down.

“The Duchess has already accepted me.
We’re done talking! Everything is going well, how can…”

As the arrow of resentment flew in, Karhan slowly lowered his eyes.
If it was before, he would have been defeated first because he didn’t want to fight.

He thought it was best to be silent and follow the other person’s opinions.
However, it was his will that he decided not to be engaged to Stella.

He didn’t want to change the first decision he made himself.

“I’m sorry.”

Karhan did not back down.

Stella, who was trembling with her shoulders, raised her voice.

“Are you going to embarrass me?”

“…We’re not in any relationship yet, are we? If it’s now…”

“What is all this fuss about?”

They both turned their heads at the same time at the unfamiliar voice that came in through the conversation.

A woman walked out through the open front door.
Wearing a waist-length shawl, she was accompanied by an employee carrying a lamp on both sides.

“I, I greet the Duchess of Evantheon.”

Stella, who was embarrassed, said hello.

Karhan, who had been stiffened, tried to greet her belatedly, but she spoke to Stella without even giving him a glance.

“Delota Young Lady, what brings you here at this hour?”

“Duchess…….”

Stella called the Duchess in a tearful voice.
She pretended to feel sad to arouse sympathy.

“The Little Duke has another woman….”

At that word, Duchess Evantheon turned to Karhan.
From the frozen gaze, it felt like it was hardening to the tongue.
This was the biggest reason Karhan was reluctant to Stella.

Whenever something happened, Stella ran to the Duchess of Evantheon and told her every word.
When her obsession was overwhelming, she would visit the Duchess and complain.

And Stella knew that the method worked better than anything.

“That’s… I didn’t know either.”

The Duchess glanced at Karhan up and down, and looked again at Stella.

“I’ll educate him straight, so Young Lady don’t have to worry about it and go back.”

“….
However.”

Stella still had a lot to say.
She wanted to get a definite answer from Karhan here.

He will never meet Lilia Bloden again,

“Delota Young Lady.”

Stella raised her head at the Duchess’ call.

She’s always been kind, But now it was creepy for some reason .

“We’re family from now on, so please leave.”

Stella eventually lowered her head as her tone changed from invitation to command.

Stella glanced at Kahan as she walked down the front steps.
He had a blunt face, but somehow he looked pale.

Stella bit the inside of her lips.
It was Karhan who was wrong here.

How dare he meet with Lilia Bloden on his own.
Stella, who had not yet been relieved, boarded the carriage, hoping the Duchess would properly admonish him.

Delota’s carriage departed, leaving only five people at the front door.

Karhan, Tession, Duchess and two employees.

The duchess raised her head, crossing her arms lightly while wearing the shawl.

“Is it true?”

The hardened tongue barely spit out a word.

“Yes.”

At that moment, a hand flew.

The sound of the slap rang through the sound of the rain.

“I told you to do it right, didn’t I?”

Karhan looked away.

The Duchess muttered with a disgusting face.

“You’re a very bad kid, being a disgrace to the family.”

“Duchess…!”

Tession, who was breathing in surprise, hurriedly called the Duchess.
However, she didn’t even look at Tession.

Tession, under Karhan’s authority, was nothing more than a dog.

“I don’t want you as much as your brother, so behave yourself.”

Leaving those words, the Duchess went inside.

As the employees with the lamps entered, the surrounding became dark in an instant.

In the raining darkness, Karhan stood still.

“Sir Karhan.”

Tession was restless and called Karhan.

Karhan did not answer, only looking at the tightly closed door.
There was only one door, but it seemed to be completely cut off.
It was an unjust feeling that he was not from this family.

Karhan lowered his eyes with a tingling sensation.
It wasn’t the cheek that was hit by her, but his inside that hurt.

The mother’s pointed rebuke cut Karhan’s chest over and over again.
He thought he could hear it calmly now, but it didn’t seem like that.
The face that had been dimmed for a moment like water mist returned.

Karhan opened the door himself.

“Let’s go in.”

Tession looked at Karhan’s lonesome back.

The Duchess still only loved the eldest son.
Even though he had an accident and was kicked out of the country, her faith did not shake.

She was thinking that the eldest son would come back and that he would be the Duke’s successor.

In the meantime, Karhan had only been used.
He had to be engaged to someone he didn’t want in order to clean up what his eldest son had done.

How could she do that when he was the same biological child.
This is what he saw in person, and there must be a lot of hidden things.

Tession followed Karhan inside, clenching his fist.

* * *

Heinley returned home earlier than Iilia.

As he got off the carriage, he saw his parents waiting for him.
He guessed it was hard to wait calmly.

Two people who rushed down the stairs held on to Hainley and asked.

“How was it?”

“Did you see his face?”

Hainley looked around and said let’s go inside first.
The three quickly headed to the drawing room.

Count Bloden, who was as big as a bear, sat in a hurry.
As the Count couple waited for an answer, Heinely lifted up his glasses.

“I think he’s a dangerous man, as it is rumored.”

Heinley told them exactly what he saw.

“There were brief moments where the guards were mobilized and surrounded the Little Duke.”

He couldn’t hear the conversation because of the distance.
The moment Hainley tried to intervene to save Lilia, all the guards retreated.

Everyone had a green complexion and seemed to have been hit a few times.

It is more violence than the law!

Heinley doubted his eyes.

He wanted to find out more, but the two went into the restaurant.
He thought he would wait for them to come out, but it started raining so he had no choice but to return home.

“We’ll have to look at it a little bit more, but I don’t think such rumors are going around for nothing.”

Everyone sweat with worried faces.

“Are the bad guys her taste now?”

Violet muttered.

“Wife, Richard, he was a bad guy, too.”

“That’s also true.”

When the Count gave a word, Violet nodded.

Everyone was silent for a moment.

They couldn’t really understand why Lilia was dating the Evantheon Little Duke.

“Maybe it’s better to call Lilia and ask her in person.”

Everyone nodded, Violet said grimly.

“Let’s have dinner together today.”

She had to make a decision at dinner time.
She made up her mind.
