The Villainess Hides Her Wealth - Chapter 84.1
Chapter 84.1
There was a change in her body. Something about her had changed.
The ‘Lilika Primrose’ from until now and the current ‘Lilika Primrose’ were like different entities.
There was still something inside her that had lingered for a long time, something that made her feel angry and intoxicated.
As much as a terribly strong drink or a pungent scent that made a person feel dazed, a ‘power’ that couldn’t be compared to anything else.
‘It’s not like mana or divine power.’
Others might normally feel horrified by it, but Lilika didn’t.
She closed her eyes once again to feel the deep energy that was passing through her entire body.
If she had nothing to lose anyway, a turning point might be an opportunity.
‘… And it’s not like I can’t guess at all.’
After thinking about it for a while, it was clear what she had to do.
‘I need to ask someone about this change.’
As soon as Lilika realized that something had changed, she contacted the people she had never wanted to meet.
It was her ‘clan’.
To be precise, they called themselves the Red River clan. The name signified the red energy surrounding the sun.
‘It’s an excessively grand name for someone living a shameful life without any foundation.’
From the way Lilika saw it, they were not as beautiful as the name that symbolized the red sky, nor were they great.
At the time of Lilika’s life, working in the red-light district was basic for an adult woman of her clan.
Fraud or theft was fundamental, and getting caught by the guards was a common occurrence.
They didn’t mind begging for other people’s sympathy. Maybe because they had nothing to lose, they didn’t have any dignity and were just greedy.
“The Duke’s daughter is from our clan!”
After Lilika’s biological mother died, they connected her to the Primrose duchy.
Should she thank them for that? Because it wasn’t easy for the young Lilika to enter the Primrose duchy.
However, even though they received a considerable amount of money for their hard work, they were not satisfied with it.
“If you have a hard time in the duchy, come to us.”
Looking at their eyes shining as if they thought this was an opportunity for Lilika to enter the duchy…
‘It was obvious from the way they smiled. They knew I was going to have a hard time.’
At that time, the young Lilika laughed at them inwardly and thought that there would be no reason to get involved with them.
She was different from those who were at the bottom of the ladder of life.
Lilika, who had become the noble duke’s daughter, came to the duke’s residence, wore a dress she had never seen before, and enjoyed a lavish dinner.
She could even eat dessert whenever she wanted. Everything was so abundant that she was afraid of gaining weight.
She was worried that people would ignore her for being an illegitimate child while at the same time sending her a glance of envy.
Even though she was just a child, her days with the Red River clan made Lilika realize her cleverness early on.
She wanted to someday rise to a higher place than those who ignored her.
‘I… I was going to get to a place like that, and look down at everyone from above.’
Going to the Red River clan first, when she thought that she would never see them again… It was like a curse.
In the end, she used the rendezvous method they had taught her that day.
Lilika faced the head of the clan and her relatives, who were dressed in shabby, dirty clothes and glancing at her.
‘It seems they already blew up the money they got from the Primrose duchy for taking me there.’
It bothered her that they weren’t too surprised, as if they knew she would come.
They lived in streets full of filth and used squeaky chairs. How could their eyes shine so brilliantly?
“What did the young lady of the duchy come to us for? I thought you wouldn’t like getting involved with us.”
“That’s right. The person who told us firmly not to think about going anywhere and mentioning her name to make a profit.”
The low giggle was nothing short of frivolous for Lilika, who had grown up as a noblewoman even though they had once lived together.
She was displeased with them, but she couldn’t control the mood of the moment, so she couldn’t retreat.
‘I’m the daughter of Duke Primrose, and that is the lower class who lives from hand to mouth. Don’t be swayed.’
Emphasizing her voice, Lilika asked, “I feel like I have some strange power. Do you know about it?”
“Oh, the power of blessing that descends upon the duchy of Primrose? Congratulations on your awakening.”
