The Villainess Hides Her Wealth - Chapter 94.2
Chapter 94.2
From Lilika’s point of view, it was better to send away Sir Vieira, who had a scandal with her, than a random nobleman.
That way, she could later say that she got caught up in a scandal because she was involved with a strange young man.
‘It’ll be easy for me to lead it in that direction because of all the hustle and bustle today.’
There was someone else who would not want the Primrose duchy to suddenly start getting accusations.
‘My father and Brother Jiksen.’
She didn’t have to step up herself. The two of them would do as she wanted.
Lilika’s eyes shone darkly.

After determining the winner of the hunting competition, the next event was a barbecue party.
It was called a party because you cooked with the prey that was caught while having a gathering, but…
In any case, there was some time until everything was prepared.
‘I have something to say.’
My eyes met those of Crown Prince Enoch, who happened to be looking this way.
No, it wasn’t a coincidence. He was also looking at me before I even looked at him.
His mysterious green eyes shook sharply. He looked a little worried even after winning the hunting competition.
‘What on earth…?’
The crown prince and I left for a quiet place where we could be alone.
“I’m sorry.”
And he offered me an apology.
My eyes opened wide at the unexpected situation.
“What? What did Your Highness do to me?”
“Well… The Lady has said before that you didn’t want to get involved with me. I feel like I’ve done something that gets too much attention.”
“No, it’s fine. Really.”
He had never done anything that would warrant an apology.
“In that situation… if Your Highness hadn’t accepted my handkerchief, and if you hadn’t given me the prey… I would have been very embarrassed,” I continued, desperately.
It was embarrassing to say this. It wasn’t easy at all.
But I couldn’t just listen. Not if I considered the sincerity that Crown Prince Enoch had shown me so far.
‘Why is this person, who should never be worried in this situation, looking at me with a face like this?’
I didn’t want Crown Prince Enoch’s clean green eyes to be swayed by regret and anxiety.
“And… It was okay because Your Highness was there.”
“What do you mean?”
“The people’s gaze.”
In my past life, I was misunderstood because of Lilika’s numerous tricks to falsely accuse me.
But there were many things that did not happen after returning to the past.
However, without realizing it, I was moving forward with the assumption of a time when I was called a villainess even worse than now.
Like the day before I died at the hands of my father and brother.
‘I didn’t realize it… but I was still scared.’
But during this hunting competition… Even though Sir Vieira openly insulted me, it was nothing.
Thanks to the man in front of me who stepped in for my sake.
“So…”
I opened and closed my mouth repeatedly. Then, I barely managed to bring up my inner feelings.
“I don’t mind if we meet in public anymore.”
I was worried that if I changed what I had said before, I would look like a lousy person.
But wouldn’t it be worse if I was only on the receiving end, like now?
I no longer wanted to run away cowardly.
“If you’re being considerate of me…”
“I’m serious. I’ve changed my mind now.”
“Ah…”
“So I hope you will believe what I’m saying.”
I couldn’t even tell him about how I was accused of being a villainess and killed by my own family in my previous life.
‘Doesn’t His Highness seem frightened by something that hasn’t happened?’
Despite not being able to tell him in detail, the crown prince listened carefully to my words.
He wasn’t just pretending. I could feel the way he looked at me.
“I’m not saying I won’t believe you. I was just… worried that the Lady might be putting up with it because of me.”
Then, Crown Prince Enoch spoke slowly.
“I too… don’t care if other people talk about you and me.”
“…”
“I may have cared if it was someone else, but if it’s Lady Primrose, then it’s fine.”
