The Villainess Hides Her Wealth - Chapter 94.1

Chapter 94.1

She had never shown such an expression even before her reputation was tarnished.

‘No, it didn’t make sense from the beginning.’

The sight of Sir Vieira walking past her and arguing with Yuria for the handkerchief was extremely delightful.

Lilika had no doubt that Yuria would crumble down like that. She thought it was really fortunate that she didn’t stop Sir Vieira from participating in the hunting competition.

But… what was happening now?

The result was an ending in which Crown Prince Enoch and Yuria became the main characters.

Lilika was left alone, unable to blend in the slightest among those who seemed cheerful.

‘My father held this competition for me!’

It rather became an event that turned Yuria into the protagonist.

She felt that it was rewarding to hold the hunting competition when she saw Sir Vieira approaching Yuria, but now…

No, she still had a way to overcome this. After all, the competition had a different purpose.

‘Yes, let’s see. Even though there was a variable, it turned out the way I wanted…’

Lilika glanced at the bird that Sir Vieira had caught.

It was a bird that she had secretly instructed to be released into the hunting grounds.

‘Did he say it was a mountain thunderbird?’

She expected that at least one participant in the competition would insist that the toxic bird was a mountain thunderbird in their desire to win.

Lilika secretly left the place after confirming that the people’s gaze had flocked to Yuria and the crown prince.

She saw the two smiling happily among the people. There was a romantic atmosphere around them, like a painting. As if they were the protagonists of a novel.

‘I will never let it end like this.’

And… Since the situation turned out like this, Jacob too would have no choice but to actively take her side.

“… Ah.”

Lilika bit her lip.

At this moment, there was no need to fake looking pitiful. She genuinely felt like she wanted to cry.

Even though she was also the duke’s child, she was treated so poorly because her mother was different…

And her brother, the only person she had, went to throw up because of a hangover.

She always had to find a way. Her father only held the hunting competition, nothing more.

Lilika’s eyes were permeated with poison. She clenched her fists, her nails digging sharply into her skin.

‘You can’t be the only ones who are happy.’

Lilika turned around and spoke to Jacob.

“Did the Red River clan prepare the scapegoat?”

In order for the shining saintess to appear and heal the one who is in pain, someone had to be groaning in pain first.

It would be even better if it happened in a place that attracted people’s attention, like a hunting competition.

“Jacob. I trust that you will do your job well. I did my best to prepare a bird that resembles the mountain thunderbird.”

Lilika gave a deep smile.

The sudden encounter between Yuria and Crown Prince Enoch came as a variable, but except for that, everything was going smoothly.

‘Things went better than I expected.’

It was easy to make someone groan in pain with Jacob’s power.

But could someone in pain be found at a good time, while everyone is watching, in a place where Lilika can be noticed?

In the end, Lilika had no choice but to create the incident herself.

And the most important thing was whether there would be a culprit or not. If someone were to suddenly collapse here, there had to be a clear culprit to avoid any suspicion.

It wouldn’t be acceptable for the Primrose duchy, who was Lilika’s backer, to be accused of preparing for the competition poorly.

“Even if I could have them release the toxic bird… it was difficult to guess who would be the one catching it. It’s a good thing that it was Sir Vieira.”

It was another variable that neither Lilika, who set this up, nor the Red River clan, who helped her, had anticipated.

Marcel Vieira. She had no idea that he was going to do something that attracted so much attention during the hunting competition.

‘Everyone thinks that Sir Vieira is a man who confessed to his fiancée’s sister. If there is another disturbance like today, my name will also continue to be dragged out.’

All things considered, even attempts to humiliate her were fine. But what were the consequences?

‘If he was going to do it, he should have done it right. Why did he make Crown Prince Enoch step up?’

In fact, even Lilika enjoyed Yuria’s embarrassment at that moment, but in the end, it all turned out wrong.

Crown Prince Enoch and Yuria were suddenly sticking together. Maybe it wouldn’t have happened if Sir Vieira hadn’t done anything.

Lilika bit her lips tightly.

‘But I can still get them with this.’
