The Monster Duke Mistook Me for His Wife Chapter 97

“I can’t hear it anymore. I will go first.”

 

Giselle had left first for the silly conversation not long after, Lloyd got up.

 

“Seeing that Bianca likes her so much, Miss Delice must be a good person. Besides, His Grace also likes her, so why not open your heart?”

 

And even if Terzhe and Giselle oppose it, it won’t be a problem for Dillian.

 

He has already inherited the title, and he has no regrets.

 

Although everyone opposes him, he will force the marriage, so this objection has no meaning.

 

“It is not such a simple matter. Lloyd.”

 

Terzhe, who knew the truth better than anyone else, opposed it, so he wondered why.

 

“I don’t know why you are so against it.”

“… This is all for Dillian.”

“For His Grace, I think it is more right to allow this marriage.”

“No, elder. Please continue to oppose it. I really want to make Miss Ria my own.”

“Hem!”

 

Bianca, who cannot come to her senses once she’s obsessed with something, has now become so enraged that she opposes the couple’s marriage.

 

“Bianca. Stop it and leave.”

 

Lloyd dragged Bianca out before she could gossip further.

 

“I will go.”

 

Terzhe, who was left alone, grabbed his flabby forehead.

 

It was as if a storm had swept over him.

 

“How can, there be no one normal?”

 

Tsk tsk, as he clicked his tongue, a familiar figure caught his sight.

 

‘She went out for a night walk again.’

 

Following yesterday, it was Ria who came to visit the garden tonight.

 

The difference from yesterday was that there was no Dillian.

 

Terzhe slowly stood up, looking at Ria’s back as she circled the garden.

 

 

***

 

 

Terzhe, who came down to the garden, was able to find Ria right away.

 

She only moved a little bit, so she was still there.

 

‘What is she doing?’

 

Terzhe, who was watching Ria’s action, quietly silenced the footsteps.

 

Walking slowly, looking at the ground, Ria stopped, bent over, picked up something, and held it in her arms.

 

He wondered if she was picking up stones, but when he looked closely, he saw that it was a flower.

 

‘Instead of picking flowers, you are picking up fallen flowers.’

 

Her character was shown in the act of cherishing even the insignificant plant life.

 

‘… She’s a kind-hearted kid.’

 

Terzhe, who had come to say harsh words to Ria, felt his heart weaken.

 

Terzhe, who tried to approach Ria, quietly followed her instead of talking to her.

 

At that moment, Ria, who was picking flowers, turned around. Terzhe hid behind a tree without realizing it.

 

‘Why am I….’

 

It was funny to hide and ridiculous that he missed the time to leave.

 

“You can show yourself now.”

 

As Bianca said. She has excellent skills, and definitely her sense is good.

 

“Do you think you can hide in that size?”

 

As if coming closer, a voice that grew louder and the sound of footsteps hummed as if teasingly.

 

If he says the sound of approaching sounds like the footsteps of a god of death, would you believe it?

 

Terzhe was very panicked now.

 

‘What will happen if she finds out that he was hiding?’

 

Somehow, his image will be destroyed by being labeled as a perverted muscle grandpa.

 

At the moment when he was the first to come out to prevent the accident, Ria suddenly raised her head.

 

“Sir Dill…!”

 

The eyes met. Ria screamed as she looked at someone utterly different from Dillian.

 

“Arghh!”

 

Startled and struggled with her arms, the flowers in her arms flew in all directions.

 

Poop.

 

The rain of flowers from the sky created a romantic situation, but the opponent was not okay.

 

On the one hand, the grandson’s lover, and on the other hand, the lover’s grandfather.

 

It’s a strange combination that makes you tilt your head.

 

Ria, who was hard as a stone and did not know what to do, bowed her head.

 

“I am sorry…. I thought it was Sir Dillian….”

“Never mind. It’s my fault for surprising you.”

 

Terzhe, waving his hand, looked down at Ria with curious eyes.

 

‘They’re still at the beautiful time.’

 

You can clearly see how the two of them usually get along.

 

‘To play pranks on Dillian with that small size of her. She’s brave.’

 

Apart from being panicked, it was surprising that some people could play pranks with Dillian.

 

“I am sorry though….”

 

Ria, as startled as Terzhe was astonished, closed her eyes tightly.

 

‘Of course, I thought it was Dillian! He said he was coming soon.’

 

Instead of Dillian, who is coming, a grandfather who is the same as the final boss appears.

 

She wanted to bang her head on that tree and pass out.

 

Terzhe treats her like a gentleman, but there is always slight dissatisfaction.

 

‘It’s a little different now…. But I’m not happy at all….’

 

How should I get out of here without going against Terzhe’s intention? Ria’s head moved quickly.

 

However, there is no way that a transparent scheme will beat Terzhe.

 

“Could you give me some time?”

“Yes, yes! Please feel free to speak.”

 

Ria and Terzhe moved to the Pavilion with a smile that was strengthened by her social life.

 

Terzhe, who lit a fire and lit the surroundings, immediately brought up the main topic.

 

“Why did you get engaged to Dillian? Did you want money?”

 

Please give me time to blink.

 

Ria quickly shook her head at the sudden question.

 

“No, it’s not like that.”

“Then, did you love each other and get engaged?”

“… Yes.”

 

She was supposed to reply as quickly to the question, but in the end, she hesitated.

 

There’s no way Terzhe doesn’t know what she knows. Replying late was a different kind of shame.

 

“Is it? You don’t look that serious to me.”

 

That’s a blatant word. Ria knew it, too.

 

Dillian’s feelings and the weight of her feelings are different.

 

“Dillian is, yes. From what I see, it’s sincere. I’ve never seen him as happy as he is today. Laughter also increased. It was the first time I saw them all.”

 

It was a completely different appearance, to the point that one wondered if he had changed due to his memory loss.

 

How surprised he was to see the smiling grandson’s face.

 

‘What brings you to see the flowers?’

‘I think Miss Ria will like it.’

‘Then pick it and give it as a gift.’

‘She can come and see it next time. Miss Ria doesn’t like to pluck flowers.’

 

It was shocking that the back of his head ached at the sight of him cherishing insignificant wildflowers.

 

In the end, Terzhe had no choice but to admit.

 

His grandson, Dillian, truly loves Ria and dreams of the future with her.

 

“So, you speak first. Because he’ll never tell you to break up with him.”

 

It was more of a request than a threat.

 

No envelopes of money were flying over, swabbing of water, or stamping with power, as Nathan had feared.

 

He just persuaded Ria with a severe and calm voice.

 

A gentlemanly attitude, but Ria’s heart was not at all comfortable.

 

‘Are you telling me to break up with Dillian? I…?’

 

It was expected, but why is it so shocking?

 

Ria lowered her head to hide her surprised face. The hardened fingertips were cold.

 

Ria herself knew best what the cause of this strange feeling was.

 

It was simple. Because she doesn’t want to break up.

 

‘I’m the only one who can break Dillian’s curse. I’m the only one.’

 

In an instant, the words ‘no’ came out of her mouth, and Ria covered her mouth.

 

“I won’t stop you from being lovers. But not with being married.”

“… Is it because my heart is lighter than Sir Dillian?”

“No.”

“Is it because I am a commoner? From a humble place?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Then I don’t know why you oppose it like this.”

 

Ria’s face was stained with confusion. She couldn’t understand Terzhe’s heart at all.

 

Terzhe closed his mouth, looked at her tiny face, and sighed.

 

It was the truth that he would carry to the grave, but he couldn’t hide it from Ria for some reason.

 

“He’s a bad grandson, but he has a mate.”

“Mate?”

 

At that moment, a person came to Ria’s mind.

 

“Is it the princess by any chance?”

“Princess? No. It was just a deal with the princess.”

“You knew.”

“She’s been chasing after Dillian for three years, how can I not know?”

 

He didn’t like that the princess used Dillian, but it wasn’t wrong that the marriage requests pouring towards Dillian disappeared.

 

“I also used the princess, so I kept it quiet.”

 

The more Terzhe spoke, the more he showed affection for his grandson.

 

“… You love Sir Dillian a lot.”

“Even if I say he’s bad, he’s bad anytime, it’s only natural that he’s my only grandchild.”

 

It’s not that he’s indifferent to Dillian, he’s just pretending to be apathetic. He thought of Dillian more than anyone else.

 

He wanted Dillian to be happier than anyone else, and he hoped his curse would be lifted.

 

“I should have raised him in my hands since he was little. If I had forced him to separate from his parents, such a tragedy would not have happened….”

 

His mumbled voice filled with compassion as he looked at the distant mountains.

 

For a moment, Terzhe turned his gaze as if he had decided something and made eye contact with Ria.

 

“I’m waiting for a child of fate to break the curse of that ugly brat.”

“Wait a minute, child of fate…?”

“It’s unbelievable, but the oracle came down in the year Dillian was born.”

 

Terzhe boldly told Ria about the oracle that came down to the Sinaize family.

 

He can’t help it even if she laughs because it’s a nonsensical story.

 

“Soon, his mate will appear.”

 

Terzhe still believes in God. And trust the oracle.

 

So, indeed, there will be a woman who will lift the curse of his grandson. Certainly.

 

“Now you know why I am against you. Even if you are in love with each other, if he meets his fate, you will break up. Get yourself back before you see anything bad.”

 

A cold sweat ran down Ria’s back.

 

It’s me, the child of that fate…?

 

I am the owner of the oracle.
