The Plan of the Terminally-Ill Wife's Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 119

The Fosse Marquisate wasn’t the only noble house whose name appeared on the Golden Register. Every young lady vying to become Crown Princess would surely possess outstanding qualities and formidable backing.

Participating in such fierce competition required money. Expenses like the dress Kaitlyn was buying now—for attire, lodging in the capital, and countless other concerns—were far from trivial.

When the family’s finances had been comfortable, even if Kaitlyn went to the capital and failed to become Crown Princess, they could have generously dismissed it as a valuable experience for their daughter. But now, even that sum was substantial.

Yet, to Marquis Fosse, the idea of Kaitlyn entering the Crown Princess selection sounded like an attractive proposition.

‘Just by entering the selection, Kaitlyn will make the ignorant commoners look up to our marquisate with admiration.’

After all, it wasn’t as if just anyone could participate—people would surely think, “The Fosse Marquisate truly is an exceptional house, sending their daughter as a Crown Princess candidate.”

In truth, though he hadn’t told his family, Marquis Fosse had already borrowed money from loan sharks. Recently, these lenders had been pressuring him, claiming the repayment deadline had arrived.

For the proud Marquis Fosse, it was utterly infuriating that commoners dared appear before him and demand repayment simply because he’d borrowed some money.

‘Those contemptible peasants! Do they really think the illustrious House of Fosse would default on their debt? Their audacity knows no bounds! A noble of high standing borrows money—they should feel honored and wait patiently until it’s repaid!’

He wasn’t refusing to pay because he lacked funds; it was purely because their attitude offended him!

When Marquis Fosse first borrowed the money, those very same people had served him tea and called it an honor to assist him.

If Kaitlyn became Crown Princess, they’d be so overwhelmed with reverence they wouldn’t dare ask for repayment from the future father-in-law of the Crown Prince.

Even if she didn’t become Crown Princess, at least during the selection period, he could boast loudly that his daughter was destined to become Crown Princess and delay repayment.

How would those ignorant peasants know the intricacies of the Crown Princess selection? If none other than Marquis Fosse himself declared his daughter would soon become Crown Princess, they’d likely believe it without question.

‘And if she actually does become Crown Princess, as Kaitlyn said, would the royal family really refuse to settle the debt of their in-laws…?’
