The Villainess Hides Her Wealth - Chapter 103.2
Chapter 103.2
Lilika smiled, her eyes curved.
Jacob, who seemed to refuse at first, did not push her away, his hands still clasped in hers.
“You, who were called a cursed child, saved me, no one else.”
“Young Lady…”
He couldn’t believe that the ability the clan kept their distance from… had saved Lady Lilika.
“So… You can’t abandon me. If you abandon me, I have nowhere else to go. I might become a liar… and be branded a heretic and hunted down for witchcraft. I’ll become the person who deceived the imperial family and the temple.”
Jacob hesitated, but in the end, he nodded.
In fact, it was somewhat predictable.
Was it difficult in the first place to do what they did once, twice…
Lilika didn’t think at all that Jacob would reject her offer. No, to be precise, she didn’t think about what would happen if he did.
‘I can’t fall any further even if he refuses anyway…’
Jacob hesitated, looked at Lilika, and then gave a gloomy smile.
“Then, Lady Lilika. You can’t be without me, right?”
“No. I only have you.”
“Then, even you who lived a noble life as the duke’s daughter, in the end, I…”
Jacob used to call her young lady at first. However, his words shortened little by little and he began to call her by her name.
He seemed to be quickly aware that Lilika had become weak at this moment.
But Lilika intercepted him first.
“Excuse me, there’s something on your face.”
“Huh?”
Then, Lilika moved her hand to Jacob’s lips.
Jacob did not stop her hand, which moved without hesitation. Rather, it was a welcoming attitude that it had become easier for her to approach him first.
Lilika smiled at that.
‘Really… It’s so easy to deal with a guy like this.’
From a young age, he felt out of place among the clan. At the same time, he had a heroic spirit, and no such thing as patience.
In particular, when she told him that she had healed the princess in the hunting competition, his face was full of pride.
Leaving the other clan members who normally pretended to be good aside, the pretty daughter of a duke came to him and moved his heart, so it was easy to overcome what he was initially grumbling about…
“You know, you did something that neither Duke Primrose nor the priest of the temple could do…”
Lilika smiled sweetly.
“Huh…?”
And the moment she kissed Jacob, his vicious eyes turned hazy with greed for Lilika.
“Hehe… Jacob. I’ll take back what I said about you not being like the rest of the members of the clan. You behaved just like them in the final moment.”
Lilika laughed, confirming that she had completely brainwashed Jacob.

“Brother. I heard you have someone you like? And that you were looking for a place to have a date?”
Princess Vivian, who had become healthier, began shooting from place to place as if she were doing things she had never done before.
Among them, the place she visited most often was her brother’s palace.
Prince Enoch smiled faintly as if he were embarrassed.
“How did that reach your ears… I told them to keep it a secret.”
“They didn’t tell anyone! They didn’t even tell our family, they only came to me. They’re all your close associates. You know they know how to keep secrets.”
“Yes, they ran to you because they couldn’t interrogate me.”
“Don’t feel bad. Your aides are all men. Maybe I can help you with your date?”
He didn’t like the teasing, but it made sense. The crown prince’s expression turned serious.
‘I’m having trouble anyway.’
After a moment of hesitation, he held out some papers containing information about the places he had picked for a date.
“Then which do you think would be better? Here or here?”
Princess Vivian flipped over the documents related to date spots.
‘What the… Did he write a report on dating?’
Princess Vivian thought it was really inflexible, as expected of her brother, but she didn’t hate it.
Anyway, it wasn’t a bad thing to show sincerity on a date, was it?
“I think they’re all good places. But I think Lady Yuria would like this one better.”
Pfft.
Although Princess Vivian answered casually, the crown prince, who was drinking tea, crumbled away.
“You knew?”
“How could I not know when you’re so obvious… I’m glad to hear it somehow evolved into dating. You may not know this, but I helped a lot.”
“…”
“Gosh, how frustrating you are, both of you. I thought I was going to burst…”
Princess Vivian shook her head and giggled.
“But how did it happen? Lady Yuria is the first love you mentioned before, isn’t she?”
