The Villainess Hides Her Wealth - Chapter 87.2
Chapter 87.2
It was easy to infer why the Primrose duchy suddenly held a hunting competition, something that they were not interested in.
‘It must be because of Lilika, who made the fake cosmetics and caused a commotion. It seems that she moved her father’s heart after all.’
No matter how much the social world worked regardless of a family’s influence, having a family-owned forest and hosting a hunting competition… There would be no easier way to control a large area.
This was a declaration of war to show off the power of the Primrose duchy, and a way to tell people not to think about touching Lilika.
Lilika, who wasn’t invited to any gathering, would certainly be sitting in a good spot. No one would be able to ignore her that day.
‘Considering what Lilika has done, don’t we need to let her reflect?’
It was such a tremendous love that it made me tired just watching from the sidelines.
It wasn’t for nothing that this novel was a childcare story. My father really was amazing.
‘If I had done the same thing, I don’t think I would have been able to get out of my room at all.’
I had a bitter taste in my mouth.
It was obvious that I would be referred to as ‘jealous’ if I suggested that Lilika be put on probation.
And it would be the same with my mother. She would be accused of not liking her for not being her biological daughter.
‘My father is only generous and kind to Lilika. I can’t believe how easily he forgave her.’
Even though Lilika was involved in such an incident, there was nothing else I could do, so I was anxious.
It was funny that I used to blame myself for not being loved by my father in my previous life because I was immature.
“Yuria. Can’t you be a good older sister and be half of what Lilika is? Hm?”
“B-but… I didn’t do it on purpose…”
“You’re both my daughters, so why do I only need to raise my voice with you? Do you think this is my fault?”
“…”
“I also want to make you look pretty, just like Lilika. I’m not being like this because I want to either!”
I had a new realization again today.
In the end, he loved Lilika more than me.
It was the duality of my father, who said it was because of my personality, because of my attitude, and so on, and nitpicked me in many ways.
‘How far did he want everything to be my fault? He’s not someone who discriminates against his children for no reason.’
Although the Primrose family was prestigious, my father was the one who insisted more than anyone else that events such as hunting competitions were luxurious and useless…
‘In the end, is a loving daughter more important than a belief?’
And it was clear that I was not included in that ‘daughter’.
Looking down at the people busily preparing for the big event, I became agitated and closed the curtains.
Nonetheless, the duke’s castle was noisy for a while as everyone prepared for a hunting competition they had never held before.
In the midst of all the craziness, Lilika quietly brought a man in.
“This is Jacob. I brought him as my personal servant.”
Everyone was surprised by the servant who suddenly appeared.
Was she bringing in a man without saying anything and making him her personal servant? No matter how much she called him a servant, working in the duchy was not something anyone could do just because they wanted to.
Unlike the servants who came in through a rigorous screening process, the man named Jacob didn’t look particularly extraordinary, nor did he seem to have any special abilities.
‘But that’s why there’s no reason to object more loudly.’
It wasn’t like they were worried that a noblewoman was having a love affair with a lowly commoner.
The commotion ended like that, and after that day, another part of the duchy became noisy in another sense.
“Excuse me. You made a mistake regarding what I said earlier.”
“Mistakes can happen, right?”
“Wait a moment. Even if you’re the young lady’s personal servant, what’s with that attitude? Speaking frankly, it wasn’t just today!”
While running an errand for the headmaid, Jera and Jacob clashed with each other.
“He didn’t even say a word of apology!”
She only said that she had met him as a child, but Lilika did not give any details about Jacob.
Lilika’s childhood would be very different from her life now as a noblewoman…
The head maid, who would have skewered me about their origin or career if I had brought someone here, closed her mouth and just accepted Jacob.
Did she run into a commoner she knew and felt sorry for him?
Was it because she had no one on her side in the castle?
Everyone guessed the reason why Lilika brought Jacob was either because of mild sympathy, or because of loneliness.
But I knew a little more about Jacob than the others.
