The Villainess Hides Her Wealth - Chapter 86.1
Chapter 86.1
‘Even if I’m wearing a dress or even if I’m a noble lady unsuitable for a place like this… He wouldn’t be like this if he was even a little cautious.’
Since she came here right after talking with her clan, he must not have heard any rumors of her coming.
She couldn’t believe that he immediately remembered her past situation and circumstances and said something like that.
“Is that why you came here to say hello to a filthy, vulgar man like me? Because there’s no one to meet you?”
“Jacob. Why are you filthy and vulgar?”
Lilika decided to rebuke him for now.
Jacob scoffed, thinking it was typical for an aristocratic lady to pretend to be good.
“Didn’t you hear what our great chieftain said to me?”
His eyes sank fiercely. He gritted his teeth, thinking about how he was scolded for transferring other people’s pain or illnesses a few times.
Obviously, he had to get consent from the other party—of course, the process was messy—for him to possibly use his abilities.
They would be able to use him well if they dug into it, but they just treated him like a problem that only caused accidents.
However, he did not have any particular ability, and so he had no confidence to leave his clan.
He was in a situation where he barely accepted the small things he was given within the clan.
‘Some people with different powers are just good at dirty work somehow…’
He couldn’t understand why they were so careful and told him to be calm.
He only felt that it was because he was detestable.
But…
“What does he know? I think you’re smarter than that.”
She looked calm and unshakable.
Jacob thought Lilika would cry after hearing his sharp words. But she showed an unexpected appearance, and he just kept quiet at her words of favor.
“… Then why did you come?”
“Let’s take a seat first. My legs hurt.”
Lilika laid down the mat she had brought and put down the basket.
In the basket were baked cookies with lots of butter, sandwiches with thick slices of smoked ham, and candy that sparkled in many colors.
‘What… is this?’
Jacob unconsciously took a bit of the sandwich Lilika cheekily handed out to him.
Things such as crunchy vegetables and sauces… were foods that were difficult for Jacob, the troublemaker of the clan, to eat.
Lilika looked at him and smiled faintly like a wildflower.
“I guess Jacob prefers beef to chicken.”
“It’s even more difficult for me to eat that normally!”
Jacob was surprised that meat didn’t have an unpleasant smell and that it could be chewed gently like this. And although he was ashamed of revealing his layers to the other person, the duchy’s daughter, Lilika just seemed happy.
“I’m happy that you enjoy it. I was thinking about what to bring, but I think I made a good choice.”
“…”
“Try other things too. Come on.”
He let go of his pride in a moment of confusion and ate the food she gave him.
At this point, he couldn’t refuse anymore…
“I’ll eat it even if you don’t rush me like that.”
“Hahaha. You say funny things.”
Everything Lilika brought was delicious.
Everything was so satisfying.
‘The sky is blue… and the clouds flow gently.’
It was the beginning of autumn, but he felt warm and cozy, maybe because his stomach was full.
A feeling of being full of good things without being unpleasant…
It was strange.
‘But why am I with such a pretty girl all of a sudden? Why is she leaving the others behind and coming to me?’
Jacob glanced at Lilika, who was also beautifully eating her sandwich bit by bit, and avoided her slightly as their eyes seemed to meet.
Lilika laughed without pointing it out.
Feeling ashamed, he snapped, “Damn it, you can start talking now. Why did you come to visit me?”
“Actually… I don’t know why I came to see you.”
“Does that make sense? You’re dumber than you look.”
“Maybe so.”
As she gave a frank answer, Lilika’s expression suddenly became indistinct.
“Maybe that’s why… no one likes me.”
Lilika just smiled without caring at all when he said she was an illegitimate child, but was she now feeling dispirited when he called her dumb?
Jacob’s eyes shook sharply for the first time, but he pretended that didn’t happen and began to examine her.
“Because I’m not good enough… My father and brother don’t care about me either.”
