episode_0013

Our family has been poor for generations. It was a natural thing. It was even more strange that it was wealthy, even though it was a small estate that was not close to the capital and had no special products to speak of.

However, they were not so poor that it was difficult to make a living. Still, I was able to save enough money to send my eldest son to the academy. Of course, that alone shook the house.

A poor rural family. It was a word that accurately described our family.

however······.

A dazzling gate. A magnificent mansion. Expensive statues whose purpose is unknown.

The family that came back after a long time had become suspiciously wealthy.

What the fuck is this all about?

******

“It’s been a while, son.”

“······What is all this, father?”

My father, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, was drinking wine and wearing a gold necklace. His behavior is truly like that of a wealthy man. He was a rich man who looked like a painting.

My father answered, casually passing the wine glass he was drinking to the maid. What the fuck is that maid again?

“Haha! Were you surprised that your house got a little better? That’s how it happened.”

“No, I’m not saying that’s how it happened, but what on earth is this…”

bang!

Then the door opened, and someone came in. They were welcoming faces. My mother and younger brother.

“It’s Theo! You’re back!”

“Oppa is here?”

But I couldn’t be happier to see them. This was because my younger brother and mother were in a similar situation to my father. Expensive fur coats and leather bags that don’t match. He had a similar style as his father.

‘What is this again…’

Aside from wondering why he was doing that indoors, I was wondering where the money came from to buy those things. If I sell it, I think it will be enough to cover my salary for 10 years… Could it be that I didn’t have to be sold?

It was confusing. The family I hadn’t seen in a long time felt unfamiliar. While I was working hard at the crazy bitch’s house, what happened to make the house change 180 degrees like this?

At that time, my younger brother noticed the crazy bitch behind me and shouted in surprise.

“Sister Ilia!”

“Miss Ilya?!”

“My daughter-in-law?!”

With my brother’s cry, my mother and father also discovered the crazy bitch. Then he reacted violently.

In an instant, I was pushed into the background, and the family surrounded the crazy bitch and greeted her warmly. From what I was saying, it seemed like it wasn’t my first meeting.

“???”

I became confused. I was already dizzy because of the strange family situation, but seeing the crazy girl and her family pretending to know each other made me even more confused.

‘what? Do you know each other? How? Moreover, it seems like there are some strange words mixed in…’

“Long time no see. Mother, father.”

“I have it too, sister!”

“Goodbye to Seria…”

A crazy girl and her family exchanging greetings with each other. It seemed so friendly. Even more than me. What the fuck is this… Is it a dream? Am I dreaming because I miss my hometown so much?

But no matter how much I rubbed my eyes and looked again, the hallucinations did not go away. The crazy girl and her family were talking quite amicably. I was so envious of myself.

Father and mother asked the crazy bitch kindly.

“How is things going with Theo?”

“When are you going to have a baby?”

The crazy bitch answered with burning eyes.

“Soon… I’ll show you something…”

A crazy bitch clenching her fists. He had a solemn expression, like a general going into battle.

“Of course she’s our daughter-in-law!”

“You’re cool!”

The family cheered, although they didn’t know why.

But I couldn’t cheer. It was because I had just discovered an unusual word in a confusing conversation.

“Now, wait a minute, Mom! Daughter-in-law…, you say…?”

I didn’t hear it wrong. I definitely saw the crazy bitch and called her daughter-in-law.

My mother answered with an expression as if she was asking something strange.

“What do you call your daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law?”

My father and younger brother helped.

“Am, our Miss Ilya is the best daughter-in-law.”

“Why does such a plump fiancee fall for a guy like her brother…? You really don’t know what’s going on in the world.”

“Miss Ilya paid off all of the family’s debts and was always sending gifts like this.”

“If it weren’t for Ilya, I would have ended up on the street. I can’t believe you brought such a kind and pretty daughter-in-law. After all, he is my son.”

A crazy girl who bows down and trembles humbly as if she is embarrassed by her parents’ praise.

“That’s too much praise…”

Despite his words, he seemed proud. Then my mother said to me.

“You shouldn’t start a business like your father.”

“Honey, why are you suddenly attacking me…”

As I watched the ridiculous skit, I put the situation in my head.

To sum it up, this crazy bitch and I got engaged?

What the fuck is this?!

******

Since I couldn’t make a fuss when the whole family was gathered, I dragged the crazy bitch out and questioned her.

“You, what do you mean…?! Why am I your fiance?!”

The crazy bitch answered shamelessly.

“I told you. We were made by fate…”

“Wasn’t the relationship concluded through a slave contract???”

I just couldn’t understand the situation. I thought she was sold because she couldn’t pay her debt, but now I see that she was sold under the pretext of dowry. My parents firmly believed that we were engaged.

‘A crazy bitch and I are engaged…?’

I was shocked. I was thinking that I would marry someone someday, but this crazy woman was not in my marriage plans. He planned to marry a suitable woman, have a daughter and a son, and live for five days in a manor.

Now I know why the crazy bitch isn’t afraid of pregnancy. I didn’t avoid pregnancy because I had planned on getting pregnant in the first place.

I looked at the crazy bitch.

Kalstein’s unique silver hair and mysterious eyes.

As I was looking at it, I thought of the crazy bitch’s family name. Duke Karlstein, whose name is also scary…

‘wait for a sec···!’

Now that I think about it, I felt a bit uncomfortable about the fact that the Duke of Carlstein had entered into a marriage agreement with my family.

Usually, marriage talks among noble families were very important events. It is bound to involve complex interests. However, our family was not worthy of sharing interests with the famous family called the Duke of Carlstein. In short, our engagement is a crazy thing with no benefit.

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no way the crazy bitch’s family would have let such crazy marriage talks go unnoticed. Suddenly, I began to wonder if all of this was just the dogma of a crazy bitch.

Honestly, it was a bit strange. Apart from the crazy bitch and my family, it seemed like no one knew about the engagement.

In the first place, is there any engagement that is done without the parties knowing? Small weddings are okay too. It was too much to leave out the parties involved. Even ants don’t have weddings that small.

I asked the crazy bitch directly.

“You… Does your family know about this?”

“······.”

The crazy bitch had no answer.

I knew it would be like this! As expected, it was an engagement that a crazy person carried out on her own. She was a crazy bitch with a big liver.

“Hey, you crazy bitch!!”

“······The intention of the parties is important.”

“That fucking person didn’t give consent!!!!”

“······.”

There was silence with the silence of a crazy bitch. The crazy bitch avoided eye contact.

“What are you going to do with this? Our parents really think we’re engaged. If a rumor spreads like this, we’ll both be screwed!! You might get kicked out of the family too!”

“I don’t care. It might actually be better…”

“This crazy bitch?!”

My blood came to my head at the words of this crazy, helpless bitch. What kind of gold on this ridiculous scale is this?

But at that moment, a question came into my head.

“Wait a minute, okay, let’s give in and say I’m engaged to you. Then why am I doing this as a servant? There is no need for your fiance to be a servant.”

“That’s the groom’s class…”

“What the fuck!!”

My blood pressure rose like this and I felt like I was going to die.

If it weren’t for my younger brother who came to visit me before I knew it, my blood vessel might have burst.

“Oppa, stop yelling and come eat with me.”

I suppressed my anger and headed to the restaurant.

******

“I haven’t prepared anything, but it will cost a lot. Miss Ilia.”

Food filling the table. It seemed like he used quite a bit of force, perhaps because he was conscious of being a crazy bitch.

‘Poor mother… ‘I didn’t even know she was a fake fiancee…’

Feeling confused, I took a bite of the duck meat that my mother must have cooked.

“Inhale!”

Mimi (美味)!!

* Mimi: Excellent taste

I felt the taste of my mother’s hand that I had longed for. As expected, it tasted like this. This is home food.

“The chef that Miss Ilya sent is really talented. I can’t go into the kitchen. I’m afraid I’ll ruin the dish for no reason, hoho!”

“I’m glad you liked it.”

correction. Somehow it was so delicious.
