Raising my Fiancè with Money

n…….
hmm.”

Cliff, who said that far, belatedly coughed.
It was clear that Violet and Heinley would criticise him for being a traitor if they saw him now.
Cliff belatedly recovered his stern look.

“Let’s go to the second floor.”

Cliff took a step first.
Karhan pondered over whether he had made any mistakes.
Tession whispered softly, next to him,

“You’re doing great.
I didn’t know you memorised so many things…..”

Tession made a fuss, saying he was a genius.

“And Count Bloden is really amazing.”

Tession murmured that it would be difficult to have such a time even if he gave him a billion.
It seemed that Tession, who was interested in art, had already become a fan of Count Bloden.

Certainly, Karhan learned a lot in that short time while talking to Cliff.
It was also fun to accumulate and appreciate his knowledge.

As they went up to the second floor with Cliff, he saw many abstract or esoteric works.
Cliff stopped in front of a piece of art.
It was a formless painting of yellow, pink, and sky blue.
It looked fluffy and soft like a cloud.

(T/N- esoteric: intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest.)

Looking at the warm color reminded him of Lilia.
Wouldn’t it be like this if he could make her into colors? He liked it the most so far, so Karhan didn’t take his eyes off it for a long time.

“What do you think?”

Cliff asked Karhan, who was looking at the painting as if possessed.

“……It’s kind and pleasant, and it makes me feel warm at the same time.”

Karhan gave an honest answer.
And he continued, forgetting for a moment that Cliff was Lilia’s father,

“It reminds me of the Young Lady Bloden.”

Cliff saw Karhan with a soft expression like a picture, He couldn’t tell what he was thinking, but that expression was easily read.
It seemed that Karhan really liked Lilia.

Cliff, who was happily looking at Karhan, shook his

head.

I couldn’t believe I am such an easy man…..

Cliff criticised himself.
He only saw him twice, but it was a big deal because his mind was already tilted.
Cliff opened his mouth with a dry cough,

“This picture is painted under the theme of love.”

At that moment, Karhan turned around in surprise,

“It’s popular with couples.”

Karhan, who was stiff, moved only his eyes.
Perhaps because he was stabbed for no reason, his heart pounded.

Cliff took a step after explaining the work in detail.
After talking for a long time, they finished going around the second floor.
Cliff said with a satisfied face,

“It was a very useful time.
If you don’t mind, I hope to see you often in the future.”

At Cliff’s words, Karhan lowered his stiff shoulders a little.
It was worth studying hard so far.
He was relieved that he finally passed, but Cliff asked,

“Do you like music?”

He used to use orgels often.
Karhan nodded without much thought.

“I hope we can talk while listening to the orchestra next time.”

Karhan’s eyes shook.
He should immediately start studying music, but he is seriously troubled.

Karhan slowly exhaled deeply.
Last time he accepted because he couldn’t learn to say no, but not anymore, It was finally time to show the results of practicing with Lilia.
Cliff said as Karhan opened his mouth,

“Oh, I think Lilia can come with me then.”

“…..Yes.”

Eventually, Karhan could not refuse.

“Chief!”

Someone called Cliff.
The man who came running in a short step whispered something to Cliff.
Cliff asked Karhan for his understanding with a sorry face.

“I’m sorry, but would it be okay if I left for a while?”

“See you later.
I’ll be looking around.”

Cliff left, saying he would be back soon.
Karhan, who was looking at his back as he was getting farther away, sighed without realising it.

This time it’s an orchestra…… He was obviously going to say no, but when he heard her name, Lilia, he involuntarily nodded his head.

Karhan took his steps slowly.
And stopped in front of the picture he saw earlier.
Looking at the warm colour, his heart was nauseous as if he was seasick Karhan didn’t know why he felt this way.

It was when he was thinking that he wanted to show this picture to Lilia.

“Is he the Young Duke of Evantheon?”.

“What does the Young Duke know about the art here….”

Whispering voices were heard.
In blatant disdain, Karhan slowly raised his head.
Not far away was a group of old nobles.

Some of them flinched reflexively when their eyes met.
A familiar face could be seen among the elderly nobles.
The Duke of Evantheon was one of them.

T/N: in the last line it wasn’t clearly mentioned who was there whether the duke himself or the elder of Evantheon.
So I guessed and went for duke Evantheon
