I Fell for the Temptation of the Evil Crown Prince - Chapter 185

Demon Tribe (5)

While the discussion ended in a calm atmosphere, Rowena relieved Marquis Rasmine of one last concern.

“…Louis is now preparing for the entrance examination. While preparing for the exam, he will stay at the Imperial Palace, and he will not enter the County until after he graduates from school.”

The knights’ school entrance examination was not until next spring. In addition, the school period was between 4 and 6 years. The marquis hid his overflowing laughter when he heard that his daughter would be able to enjoy their own honeymoon.

The Marquis, who separated from them by pouring words of blessing, climbed into the rear writer’s carriage with a happy face. Catherine seemed to be distracted by the faster-than-expected wedding schedule.

Next year? It’s next year?

She was happy, but she wondered if her heart would survive after marriage. While she sat absent-mindedly, the Marquis praised the Crown Princess.

Since the size of the Adeliad family’s wealth was obvious, she was half concerned about how well the newly crowned princess would do. But she had long assumed the role of a princess, and her communication skill with her people was quite good.

“I heard that she is smart! Besides, she put her heart into it so meticulously. She’s young, so I didn’t expect this… Catherine? Hey, Catherine? Are you listening to me?”

“I think I just had a dream of meeting your Royal Highness and setting a date for the engagement.”

“It’s not a dream, it’s a reality! We’re going to have a wedding next year, but how can we…”

With a click of her tongue, Marquis Rasmine inwardly compared Rowena with Kathryn. Obviously, the family would have educated her with more sincerity, money, and time, but he wondered what the difference was.

“A wedding next year… C-can we postpone it?”

“I want to prepare you more before letting you go, but I have to think about your age. If you don’t have a wedding next year, you have to get married like an old maid! Do you want to do that?”

“Who cares about that these days…”

Catherine grumbled, but the Marquis’ position was firm. His daughter could never do that.

“Reputation! Culture! Family! I raised you without missing anything, and I can’t believe you.”

“No… But what I said is true.”

“You punk!”

In the anger of the Marquis, the maids secretly looked elsewhere and pretended not to hear. Catherine had to sweat to cool off her father’s anger back to the Marquis.

Meanwhile, Rowena was experiencing a different kind of joy than at the engagement and wedding. The so-called joy of spending money!

Do I have a talent for being a party planner?

Paul was a man who paid a small sum of money and was very conscious of his face and the eyes around him. High and vain in appearance, Rowena had to know about fashionable clothes, accessories, and interior decorations among the high-ranking nobles.

In the days of the Count’s daughter, if she had to sweat hard to get a fake accessory that looked the same as the real one, now she could buy the real one without worrying about money.

The national treasury was strong enough to be piled up like a mountain even if it was wasted for hundreds of years because it could not be ripped off by the Isfacia Empire.

I can’t believe I can buy what I want for a reasonable price!

Engagement gifts alone had brought enough to fill half of the princess’s palace, and wedding gifts had to be piled up in other palaces as there was not enough room.

It was thanks to that gift that she was able to add jewels and money to Liliana’s escape.

To think I’d have extra money now.

Come to think of it, it seemed that it was because there were no royal families who spent a lot of money. Neither the Emperor nor Cecil, who is now lying, did not particularly enjoy parties or proms, and the number of royal families was small. There were few concubines, and the queens were locked up.

As the country stabilizes and tax revenues increase, money accumulates in the treasury.

Cecil even gave Rowena money in case she needed it. The amount of money earned in the country is enormous every month, and Cecil’s personal wallet was huge.
