The Villainess Hides Her Wealth - Chapter 88.2
Chapter 88.2
And people easily concluded why Lilika was just standing still.
Duke Primrose was siding with her so they couldn’t speak openly, but what Lilika did was a big deal.
No matter how much people lowered their voices, there was no way that Lilika couldn’t feel the atmosphere of the people looking at her and sneering.
“I’m sorry, Jacob. It seems like you’re going to be bothered for no reason because of me.”
Jacob clenched his fists tightly as he watched those nobles, but Lilika only bit her lips and didn’t do anything.
“… Wow, have you been living like this all along?”
“…”
“I even said that you had a comfortable life without knowing anything… Damn it!”
It wasn’t that Jacob had better hearing than the others.
He just assumed that Lilika was surrounded by this atmosphere because she was an illegitimate child.
“I’m really fine… so don’t be angry, Jacob.”
And Lilika didn’t tell Jacob that she hadn’t been treated like this in the first place, or what she had done.
“But!”
The moment Jacob, who only misunderstood in Lilika’s favor, was about to say something, the eyes of those attending the event were swept to another place at once.
“Oh my, Sir Vieira is here!”
“He said he wanted to marry Lady Lilika!”
Sir Vieira was walking in the distance, coming closer.
Lilika’s beautiful eyebrows immediately furrowed when she found him.
The invitations to the hunting competition were delivered to all the nobles, but Sir Vieira hadn’t been making an appearance recently, so he left everyone thinking that he wouldn’t come to an event hosted by the Primrose duchy.
‘I can’t believe he’s crawling in when there’s no one to welcome him.’
Lilika had no reason to welcome him.
‘Things will get more annoying if that person comes to me now.’
She ignored all contact from Sir Vieira after the birthday banquet.
He was a human who had finally become quiet after behaving indecently for a while.
“Is he here to see Lady Lilika Primrose?”
Fortunately, Sir Vieira didn’t seem very agitated even though his eyes met hers.
As if he wasn’t interested.
‘Even if he’s arrogant, it’s better like this.’
Though, of course, it bothered her that there was no reaction even when he saw her.
His looks were pretty decent, and he knew how to use martial arts well, but he was only the son of a count.
Just as Lilika was thinking that it was fortunate things had passed quietly, the people’s voices rose once again.
“Oh my!”
The man who courted Lilika in front of his own fiancée just walked past her.
And the person he headed to was his ex-fiancée, Yuria!
***
Sir Vieira, who had been hiding himself from the social world, had gone to his family’s territory saying that he was not feeling well.
But that was just an excuse to cover his ass, and if it was dragged any further, he would have trouble getting married in the future because people would be wondering if he had any major health problems.
‘That damn marriage…’
He only proposed to the woman he liked, but the consequences were too much to handle.
‘It makes me angry, but my father is right. I should continue my engagement to Yuria Primrose.’
After his breakup with Yuria… some people looked at him impolitely.
“Lady Primrose approached him first, but he was an idiot who threw away that fortune.”
“And he didn’t even get engaged again to her sister, Lady Lilika. He was caught between a rock and a hard place.”
Those who greeted him or approached him first soon changed their attitudes and mocked him.
‘I was treated as the fiancé of the Duke’s daughter until that day.’
Realization slowly came to him.
Although he learned swordsmanship and actively practiced it, he did well only at age-restricted swordsmanship competitions.
He had no such achievements in the competitions after that. The man named Marcel Vieira was afraid that he might not be a very great man.
There was a time when he felt a sense of superiority when he saw sisters clinging to him in pairs.
Lilika said she wouldn’t marry him… So, even though he didn’t like it, he was going to give Yuria a chance to give him a handkerchief.
Apparently, Lilika had ruined her reputation, and Yuria’s had gotten a little better.
For now, as his father had said, it would be better to marry Yuria, the legitimate daughter, again.
‘And Lilika, I hope she regrets seeing me like this.’
Sir Vieira approached Yuria with an arrogant gait.
