In the Midst of Revenge on Cinderella (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 67

Public opinion about us has been split in two ever since Kahilrn and I kissed during the jousting tournament. There were still disapproving glances, but also those who saw it as a romantic love story.

I had intended to publicly declare our relationship with the golden rose, but I hadn’t expected that kiss to cause such an enormous uproar. At least Floria was still letting things be for now, which was fortunate.

Lately, I’d been fully immersed in wedding preparations. With the king’s health deteriorating further, there was no time to delay.

“Please lift your waist just a bit more.”

Since I had no proper elder or chaperone to consult, Kahilrn summoned his maternal aunt—his late mother’s sister.

Eliza Rain was strict yet kind-hearted.

Through her, I learned that “Karl” had been Kahilrn’s childhood nickname. The fact that he used this nickname combined with his maternal family name as an alias suggested he held deep regard for his mother’s side.

From the very beginning, Eliza took a great liking to me. Wondering whether she simply hadn’t heard of my reputation—given how I’d stayed secluded from high society and lived in a provincial estate—I asked her, but that wasn’t the case at all. She was simply someone who trusted and loved Kahilrn unconditionally.

“If Kahilrn chose her, then I can trust her completely.”

For no other reason than Kahilrn’s affection for me, Eliza treated me with exceptional warmth.

Her frequent tales of Kahilrn’s childhood were quite enjoyable. Whenever she recounted some mischievous anecdote, I’d tease him relentlessly, and though he’d grimace, he always smiled with evident delight.

Thanks to Eliza, the wedding preparations proceeded smoothly.

I sighed, gazing down at the pile of unopened letters.

Ever since the Violet family learned of my engagement to Kahilrn, they’d been sending letters nearly every day.

I didn’t even need to read them. Previously, their letters had merely requested allowances and gifts; now, their demands had grown far more blatant. They clearly intended to use me to restore their family’s standing once again.
