Why Are You Obsessed With Your Fake Wife?

ot of risks?”

“All I want is freedom, father.”

It was now the last step to trick her father.

It wouldn’t be the right move to say that it was purely out of a daughter’s devotion to her father.
It would be more effective to say what she wanted.

“I don’t want to live in a stuffy capital all my life, tied up as someone’s wife.”

“Don’t tell me you’re willing to go to the North just because the capital is stuffy.”

“That’s not what I meant.
Sometime ago when you said about knocking down your enemy… that meant I could be either | will be a widow or a divocee.
If that day comes, promise me my freedom and abundant mount of support.”

“So what you mean is that you want to be a rich widow or divorcee.”

“Unmarried women are bound to be criticized by the public,

but widows and divorcees are acceptable in the society.
Even if I don’t remarry, I won’t be tainting the name of Balazit.”

“What in the world are you talking about?”

Callaine, who couldn’t stand the conversation anymore, screamed.

How could anyone say that they were planning to live alone without a husband so easily?

Anyone with that mindset must have lost their common sense.

But what she couldn’t believe more was her father’s reaction.

“Sure, I understand what you are trying to say.”

“F-Father? What’s wrong with you?!”

“Silence, Callaine.
It’s none of your business!”

The stern rebuke put Calleine into silence.

 Stroking his jaw, the Duke was lost in thought.

‘She’s a clever child, so she will behave well on her own even after getting married in the North.
Someday she will be useful to me.’

In addition, the Duke thought that he could boast his contribution of sacrificing his daughter to the King and other nobles.

Even if he thought it over in many ways, what Nadia proposed was tempting

It was then that a nervous-faced Callaine suddenly intervened.

She didn’t know what was happening, but she wanted to prevent things from going as Nadia wanted.

“Wait, father.
What are you going to do with Sir Jiho? Didn’t you tell her to agree to the exchange marriage? l-If you suddenly change your mind like this… he will be offended.”

“It isn’t something that the public have known either, is it? You can just introduce him to other lady.”

“However….”

However, no matter how hard she squeezed her brain to come up with an excuse, it was too late to reverse her father’s already decided mind.

The Duke looked at Nadia again and said.

“I’ll let you know after discussing it further with His Majesty.
Until then, stay still in the mansion.”

“Yes, father.”

Nadia couldn’t hold her smile.
Considering her father’s answer, it seems that she got his permission.

‘With father’s support, I could leave with enough dowry.’ Bringing her fund from home would help her plan what she was going to do in the future.

Avoiding engagement with a stranger like Lee Ji-ho was only the first step toward changing the future.

“I have something to think about alone for a while.
Nadia, Callaine, go back to your own rooms.”

“Yes, father.”

“…Yes.”

Feeling angry, Callaine bit her lips.
However, there was nothing she could do as their father told them to leave.

The two had to leave his office as ordered.

Nadia slightly bent her knees to excuse herself and left the room.

As soon as the door closed, half-sister’s fierce voice followed.

“You… What are you up to?”

“It’s a secret.”

“Just because you got father’s little attention– Where are you going? Are you listening to me?!”

She wasn’t listening.

Behind Nadia’s back, she could hear the sound of her half-sister stamping her feet when she followed her.

 

However, Callaine didn’t dare to make a fuss in front of his father’s office; therefore, she didn’t pick any further fight with Nadia even after she caught up with her.

Before anything more tiring happened, Nadia hurried out of the main building.

However, when she entered the pathway to the annex, a sudden noise caught her attention.

“I-I’m innocent! It wasn’t me, really! Please believe me, Head Maid!”

A familiar voice.

It belonged to Amber, the maid who was in charge of cleaning Nadia’s room.

 

Nadia turned her head toward the source of the noise.

She could see dozens of people gathering in front of the annex door.

And there was a girl who was kneeling in the middle of the angry crowd.

Amber, the maid who was teary, was begging the Head Maid with both hands.

Nadia stopped for a while and decided to watch it.

“I got the evidence, how dare you lying to me?”

“I really didn’t steal it! I’m telling you the truth!”
