Obvious Lie

Objects of unknown shapes were scattered on the carpet, and bottles of alcohol spread across the floor.

Richard swept his hair up while standing in the wrecked room. He was sweating on his forehead after breaking everything in the room.

He drank alcohol to calm his boiling anger and released his energy until his anger was relieved, but he didn’t feel better at all.

Richard plopped into a fine chair.

As he stayed still, he naturally remembered memories that he wanted to forget.

Yesterday, Richard met Lilia.

Lilia’s attitude, which has changed significantly from one to ten, was very unfamiliar. It was like dealing with someone else.

Reluctantly, Richard used a last resort.

It was to kneel down and beg for her forgiveness. It hurt his pride, but this was the only way he could think of.

He believed that this was enough for Lilia to accept him but the only thing that came back was a cold response.

Lilia, who did not change her attitude, no, demanded a breakup. Richard insisted that he couldn’t break up their marriage and gave up on it.

In the end, nothing was resolved.

“Will you break up the engagement because I’m crazy?”

Richard kicked the bottle that rolled to his feet. The bottle of liquor hit the wall with a bang and broke into pieces.

Richard whispered and muttered.

“What about the efforts I have made so far…. ”

It wasn’t just a coincidence that Lilia fell in love with him. It was the result he wanted, and he worked tirelessly to get it.

He thought he had all of her heart, but with only one mistake, everything collapsed.

He regretted it more than a thousand times. He shouldn’t have brought that woman home.

(TL: instead of saying he shouldn’t have cheated he is saying he shouldn’t have brought that woman to his home. Bastard)

He should’ve stayed quiet until the wedding. He kept dwelling over the irreversible past.

And as always the end of regret was to defend oneself.

“Everyone has an affair. Just that much……. ”

“Do you know how rotten the social world has been,” said Richard, groaning again.

It was just unfair.

It was because Lilia was sensitive to what everyone else was doing.

If he had shown this much remorse, he was sure she’d let it slide at least once. It was hard to decide every time.

Richard’s gaze turned downward.

The expensive clothes and accessories he was wearing…

All were given by Lilia. After all this, he was already addicted to this sweet life.

No matter what happened, it could never be taken away.

“Fuck. ”

Until the family found out about the breakup, he wanted to change her mind again.

The wedding was just around the corner, as long as he could get through it safely….

Richard nervously tapped his finger on the armrest.

Also, Karhan Evantheon bothered him.

-I guess there is really something called destiny. We fell in love with each other at first sight at this banquet.

Such an obvious lie.

Richard did not believe Lilia’s words.

It was because there was more than one suspicious thing. Lilia wasn’t the type that would fall in love with someone at first sight.

Rather, she was wary and suspicious of strangers.

When she was betrayed by someone close to her, there was a time when she confessed that it was because of her luck.

Obviously there is something between those two. If he finds that out, he might be able to separate Lilia from Karhan.

“I have to look into Evantheon Little Duke no matter what…. ”

It is better if he will be able to learn his weakness.

Richard jumped up from the seat.

“I’m going out, get the carriage ready!”

While the employees were moving busily, Richard was ready to go out quickly. He was thinking of shopping to change his mood.

After getting in the carriage, he headed to the clothing store he often stopped by.

Because it was owned by Lilia, it was possible to shop without a penny. Arriving in front of the store, the clerk opened the door first and came out.

He thought the clerk was going to greet him, but unexpectedly, the clerk stopped Richard.

“What are you doing not stepping aside?”

“Sorry. In the future, people of the Tersian family will not be allowed to enter. ”

“What?!”

Richard suddenly screamed out loud.

“I can’t believe I’m not allowed in, what the hell are you talking about!”

There was a lot of scuffle.

At last, when the clerk said he would call the guard, Richard had no choice but to withdraw.

Richard turned around, swearing they should not discriminate against people.

Obviously, Lilia was behind this.

“You think there’s only one store?”

It’s enough to go to a better store, he said with courage.

So then, one place, two places….The number of times being kicked at the store door’s gradually increased .

All of the good shops in this neighborhood didn’t accept him. Richard’s face turned red as he was moving around the street.

Until now, it has been natural for everyone to slip off and grovel when they see his face. Even though he was going to spend his money, no one let him in.

He had never been insulted in such a way before. Thirsty, Rihard went to a store for a drink. He thought it would be okay there as he was a regular customer.

“I’m sorry. All the ingredients are sold off. ”

At the obvious lie, Richard eventually exploded.

The shopkeeper wouldn’t budge even if he grabbed her by the collar to tell her not to talk bullshit. Rather, she brazenly said she would call the guard.

“Damn it!!”

Richard had no choice but to turn back. He walked down the street muttering. Then, stopping in the middle of the street, he looked at the many shops and realized.

Among these many shops, there was none where Richard could enter.

* * *

Karhan, who was spending his usual daily life, received a letter.

Karhan hardened as he read the letter.

Tesion, who was doing something else from behind, approached him.

“What kind of letter is that?”

It was Karhan. He looked at Tesion without saying a word, looking very serious.

“Can I read it?”

Tesion was handed the letter.

After a while, Tesion, who read the letter, hardened as well.

The letter was from Lilia.

[I’d like to introduce my family to you, could you come to the Bloden mansion? I’d like to invite you.]

Tesion dropped the letter with a serious face. He thought there would be a day like this, but it was happening too fast.

After crossing the mountain called refund, he thinks a bigger mountain will remain….

Tesion glanced at Karhan, who was already full of anxiety.

“It was foreseen anyway.”

Since two people who are full of spirits met, family introductions are a natural thing to do.

“I will send a reply, so it would be better to go buy a present first.  ”

It was hard to score points with his first impression, so he felt like he had to attack them with gifts.

The two men went to the main street.

Walking around the streets, he looked for what he would buy.

But there wasn’t much to look at.

“……I’m sure they have them all.”

“Think of it as an expression of sincerity.”

But they can’t go empty-handed, Tesion said.

While diligently going in and out of the store, Karhan found a product he liked quite a bit.

And as soon as he picked up the thing, he put it down.

There was a signature of the Blodens on the corner.

Even so, reimportation was a bit difficult.

Next, he picked up an item that looked okay, and it had the Delotta seal on it.

Giving a competitor’s product as a gift seemed like complete ignorance, so he put it down.

So much so that he came to realize how great the Blodens are.

There seemed to be no business that wasn’t reachable for them.

Karhan and Tesion, who couldn’t find anything they liked, entered a small but luxurious-looking store.

It was a store that specializes in alcohol.

“Alcohol is a good gift. ”

Karhan doesn’t drink, but he saw Lilia drinking at the banquet.

Karhan decided to give her wine as a gift.

The shopkeeper hovered around Karhan.

He didn’t talk to him, he just looked around.

Normally, he would have handled the matter quickly because this situation was uncomfortable, but since it was a gift, he wanted to give a good one.

Karhan plucked up his courage, recalling his refund experience.

“……I don’t know much about alcohol, so can you recommend it?”

The shopkeeper welcomed him and immediately began to explain.

Karhan listened in silence.

And when he left the store a long time later, Karhan had four bottles in his hand.

He bought a lot of them somehow, but…

He decided to put meaning in it that he bought what he wanted to buy.

But next time, he’d like to learn how to say no, Karhan thought.

He also bought healthy food and flowers for her family.

Tesion, who was watching Karhan shopping, was thrilled.

It wasn’t a straight purchase, but it was a real improvement.

Tesion inwardly thanked Lilia.

After a successful day of shopping, finally, the day of visiting the Bloden Mansion has come.

Karhan dressed in bright colors as Lilia advised.

The pink shirt contrasted with black hair.

Usually, people are surprised before they even see Karhan, but now the atmosphere is surprisingly relaxed only after eye contact.

“I wish you’d let your spirits down a little bit, but…”

Tesion murmured to himself.

It’s much better, but he couldn’t get rid of the exorbitant energy completely.

It was as visceral as it had been in the battlefield for a long time.

The two got on the wagon carrying gifts.

Whether he was nervous, Karhan repeatedly clenched and unclenched his fist.

The wagon quickly arrived at the site of the mansion, which looked dazzling and bright.

Tesion, who was looking outside through the window, admired it.

“As expected of the Blodens. The garden is so spacious.”

Located in the capital city, the land would be expensive, but still on a huge scale.

Even that great Duke of Evantheon mansion would be put aside.

“I think I’ll see the mansion soon.”

Tesion was full of excitement and muttered.

Then, the horseman shouted outside.

“Now we will go through the entrance of the garden!!”

·····?

Tesion and Karhan looked at each other.

Then the two turned their heads toward the window at the same time.

An endless garden was spread out as if looking at the horizon.

The Bloden Zyrtec Garden was just the beginning.
