The Villainess Hides Her Wealth - Chapter 90.1
Chapter 90.1
That fact convinced Sir Vieira.
‘She hasn’t forgotten me yet. She should’ve just given me the handkerchief instead of saying useless things when I asked for it.
Yes, her pride could be hurt. He said he wanted to marry her sister in front of everyone after all.
However, Sir Vieira remembered how Yuria chased only him, a mere emerging aristocrat, and asked him to marry her.
Had he ever responded properly to Yuria? There was no way she could refuse him if he came out aggressively first.
Especially not when she was hearing what the people around them were saying.
“I mean… I wonder if Sir Vieira wants to get engaged to Lady Primrose again.”
“Lady Primrose did like him a lot.”
“But what he said to her sister, Lady Lilika Primrose…”
Yuria frowned softly as she felt everyone’s attention focused on her.
‘My father wouldn’t help me now or ever.’
She ended up getting herself caught in this troublesome situation because he held a hunting competition for Lilika.
‘There’s no one better choice. Whatever I choose is the lesser of two evils.’
Though she was upset, the excuse she gave him wasn’t good.
She didn’t need to say that she had someone to give it to and make people wonder who it was.
Of course, she wasn’t lying when she said she had someone to give it to.
‘I was going to give it to His Highness, but… he won’t accept it.’
As Sir Vieira said, Crown Prince Enoch was popular with the noble ladies. So much so that Yuria hid the handkerchief she was about to give him.
But… Sir Vieira’s provocation was a problem.
‘Except for Vieira, Brother Jiksen, married aristocrats… and young men who would talk about marriage right away if I gave it to them…’
She shook her head when her last choice, the crown prince, came to mind.
But Sir Vieira had said all of this.
If he saw that she was rejected by Crown Prince Enoch like any other lady, it wouldn’t end in a momentary embarrassment.
It would become a scandal in the social world that people would continue to talk about.
‘There’s no way His Highness will accept my handkerchief…’
If only Vieira hadn’t interfered, she could have just safely given it to the crown prince.
The ladies who didn’t have any men they were interested in also made that choice. She could have just used the same excuse.
‘But since Sir Vieira said this, my choice will get too much attention.’
To give the handkerchief to Crown Prince Enoch and be refused, or to give it to a young man who had worse hunting skills than Sir Vieira…
Both choices were troublesome. She couldn’t figure out what to choose.
‘What should I do?’
“You speak as if you know me well. I don’t remember us being close. Or are you just telling a joke?”
At that moment, when Yuria was hesitating between the worst and the lesser evil, a familiar voice interrupted.
“Answer me. Why would I not accept Lady Primrose’s handkerchief?”
She felt her old memories intersect.
“But doesn’t Sir Vieira have a problem too for requesting his fiancée’s sister to be his partner?”
“I was going to pretend not to notice because it’s a private conversation, but since I also have a younger sister, I am dumbfounded and can’t help but interrupt.”
It was the same as when he interrupted and rescued her when Sir Vieira grabbed her wrist and troubled her.
‘Huh…?’
Yuria, who was at a loss, looked up.
The man in front of her was someone she couldn’t ignore.
“Y-your Highness?”
The look on his face at first glance was cold and stiff, different from when he usually looked at Yuria.
But that was brief. Crown Prince Enoch turned to Yuria, smiling softly to reassure her.
A smile that made people feel comfortable and excited at the same time.
For a moment, Yuria thought of the unpleasant man who had just appeared in front of her and asked her for the handkerchief.
Sir Vieira was also tall, but she could only feel the discomfort that accompanied a sense of intimidation when looking at him.
However, the man who was now in front of her made her feel relieved and reassured.
