Raising My Fiancé With Money

Chapter 46

The Art-Loving Group

TL: Jasmine

The nobles scanned Karhan not too far away. Contrary to what they knew, his vicious spirit was dampened. Perhaps because he was wearing bright clothes, they felt less pressure. After the check, the elderly came up first and pretended like they were just noticing him,

“Isn’t this the Young Duke of Evantheon?”

Karhan did not know who they were except that they were elder nobles, so he bowed his head slightly

“It seems like I’ve lived for a long time. I never thought I’d see the Young Duke in a place like this.”

An old man sarcastically said. It was an attitude that screamed he didn’t realise a person he considered farthest from the art world would visit the museum

Karhan’s reputation in aristocratic society was very bad. In particular, the elders looked down on Karhan No matter how much of a competent successor he was to the Dukedom, he was too stiff and cold.

Rather than being friendly, he only gave a scary look when they talked to him. Some weak old noble people fainted after receiving Karhan’s attention. Since then, they have treated Karhan as a villain.

Karhan could tell without asking that they hated him The number of people who still hated him were as

many as there were stars in the sky. His attitude seemed to be the problem.

Because he didn’t speak well, he was in a lot of trouble whenever someone talked to him. If he was carefully choosing an answer, everyone would run away in the meantime. It was difficult to know how to respond if they showed hostility even before he even started talking like now.

What would Lilia have done? After much consideration, Karhan smiled as he practiced with Lilia.

Then the elderly flinched noticeably. An awkward smile with only one corner of mouth raised made Karhan look like an arrogant person. He even looked like a perfect villain with a sheath on his waist. The nobles exchanged looks with each other.

‘What did he come to destroy the art museum?’

Not a chance. Here, art-loving members will protect it.

“I know what this is…….!”

The old nobles took a deep breath and fiercely stared, at Karhan. It looked as if they were looking at a mercenary who pushed out of the redevelopment area.

“We realise what you’re up to, how dare you……”

Their eyes burned even more as someone muttered. Karhan’s expression returned to its original state,

Isn’t this right?

He thought the success rate had gone up a lot these days….. He thought he had to practice more.

“So why did you come here?”

“…… I was invited.”

“No way!”

The elderly complained that it was ridiculous. Tession, who they didn’t notice, opened his mouth.

“We are invited guests by Count Bloden.”

When he mentioned Count Bloden, they murmured. Cliff Bloden was the director of the museum and the chairman of an art-loving group. An old nobleman, unable to believe the words, asked, pointing to an art,

“Do you know what that painting is?”

Of course, they asked with an attitude that he wouldn’t know. Karhan, who looked up and checked the picture, opened his mouth,

“That painting was painted 300 years ago, and the artist is unknown. The motif of the work is known as the kingdom that has already fallen, but historians…….”

Karhan explained what he heard from Cliff and what he knew without spilling any spit. The low voice continued endlessly, and the nobles who were listening with their arms folded slowly loosened their arms.

“……. That’s all I know.”

When Karhan’s words were finally over, the surroundings were quiet for a moment. The elderly were looking at him with their mouths open as if they couldn’t believe it.

“Did I make a mistake?”

At their reaction, Karhan carefully asked. However, the elderly only looked away as if embarrassed, Karhan’s explanation was so good that they thought they had heard a lecture.

They thought he was an ignorant swordsman, but Evantheon was so knowledgeable……? At that moment, when their lips twitched as if they couldn’t admit it,

“Karhan…..?”

At the familiar voice, Karhan turned his head. Lilia was standing there.

Lilia heard that the exhibition prepared by her father was opened. She remembered that in the early days, she was very busy, so she didn’t visit on purpose. It had been a while, so she decided to go now.

After leaving the mansion, Lilia arrived in front of the largest museum in the capital. Visitors to the museum ranged from aristocrats, commoners, children and the elderly. All of this was the result of Cliff Blodon’s efforts.

Ten years ago, large art galleries and theatres used to restrict commoners from entering. However, Cliff always emphasized that art is open to everyone

In order to carry out his will, he opened a large art gallery that commoners could enter where as before only the nobility could enter. However, they received a small entrance fee because there were many cases of abuse after opening for free.

Lilia paused as she tried to go inside. A woman was standing in the corner of the building entrance. The woman in old clothes rolled the coin with her palm

and only looked at the entrance of the museum. The admission fee seemed to be burdensome.

In terms of the value and number of works on display, the admission fee was very low. But it wasn’t like that for everyone. It could have been burdensome enough to be considered a luxury for someone. Lilia, who was agonizing over it, headed to the staff who helped her enter.

To put it simply, the employee nodded. And it was the moment when the woman turned around after much consideration.

“The 1000th guest is free of charge.”

The woman turned her head at the employee’s words. She looked around and quickly approached the staff.
