Because She Had A Time Limit, She Became The Villain’s Daughter-in-law

***

Is that the new wife of Prince Icard?

Yes, but she has a lot of strange features.

Duke Icard, Evan, and Laria were seen by everyone at the race.

Thats because they didnt even think that the Duke of Icard, who is now being called a stiff and heinous person, would appear at such a venue.

While most people thought Duke Icard is just competent, some people who know better were all suspicious of him.

It was like theyre trying to shake the Empire behind you

I dont know why, but it is vaguely possible to guess that his board is bigger than expected.

All kinds of information guilds analyzed that the Imperial Family was the only one who could keep him in check after a few years.

If his only son Evan had been married to the Royal Family, no one would have been able to stop the Duke of Icard now.

Thats strange.

The head of the Vestian Dark Information Guild, Sven Vestian tilted his head.

Why did he bring her in?

Laria is not a helpful daughter-in-law at all.

The Countess and his wife died suddenly in a carriage accident and had no assets left to their children.

But Duke Icard immediately took her as his daughter-in-law just because Laria had nowhere to go.

He accepted her as his daughter-in-law and just submitted their marriage registration to the Imperial Family without even saying anything.

Even the debt left by the Count, Duke Icard paid it all back. Of course, the amount for debt was nothing to the Duke of Icard.

That doesnt make sense. A man like the Duke of Icard would not be moved by human reasoning.

In the meantime, most people who wanted to read some political pages were looking at Elani as Evans mate.

Elani was old enough for Evan and the next to be the one to succeed to the throne. It would take some time to become the Emperor, but he would eventually become the master of the Empire.

However, he broke everyones expectations by forcing Evan and Laria to marry.

There must be a reason.

It was true that his checkers lost their track, but it was inefficient to use his only sons marriage card this way.

Even his son, Evan, became a married man without knowing the truth.

Whats more, the three of us are going side by side to the horse racing event.

Sven clicked his tongue.

No one knew that Duke Icard was raising his son as if he were neglecting him.

Though, it is definitely strange to see them acting like a harmonious family.

Theres a reason.

His eyes turned to the girl with cherry blossom hair.

A child who often walks with a cute posture and smiles like a sparrow but still catches your eyesa fourteen-year-old with no background, no characteristics.

Ill have to wait and see.

Svens gray hair fluttered slightly in the wind.

We need to know Laria Rose Icard to read the Dukes cards.

Sven is a dark intelligence dealer who painted his big picture. It is a frustrating and insane obstacle, regardless of whether Icard is useful or not.

Later on, whether he sold the information or not, he was dying to know why the Duke brought Laria as Evans mate.

He quietly hid his presence and hid close to Duke Icard.

***

The special seat that Ordi showed me is absolutely wonderful. It is a high spot where the horses ran at a glance.

Evan is pondering over the dividend table brought by an official at the race venue.

While he is serious about the number of cases, I had only one concern.

Excuse me

I spoke to Evan with a sigh.

Can you lend me some money?

What?

I want to bet for fun, but I dont have money.

With my pride completely bent, I said that while looking at him pleadingly.

I thought Duke Icard would give me pocket money if I came to the race. But the Duke said nothing, so I had to hang on to the comfortable Evan.

Ill pay you back.

I feel so bad.

It is quite sad to have no money.

I will never forget this moment and will never waste money even if I make a lot of money in the future.

You dont have cash?

Yes

When I mumbled in a low voice, Duke Icard stepped in with his arms crossed.

I guess the butler hasnt budgeted because youre not an adult yet.

Yes.

I blinked and looked up at the Duke sitting next to me, and said as pitiful as possible.

Of course, theres no inconvenience, but I still dont have cash

Come here.

The Duke took a coin out of his pocket and handed it to me. Gold coins, I was surprised but accepted quickly.

Its the price of the drawing.

The drawing? I thought he didnt like it.

Thank you.

Oh, my God. Im so happy.

Evan uttered seriously when he saw my mouth wide open.

Ill have to talk to the butler about the budget. Even if youre a minor, wouldnt you have to have the cash available for yourself, as long as you have the last name of Icard?

However, the Duke did not answer. Then he spoke after a long pause.

Why do you give me so much money for my painting?

Why?

He continued.

Draw if you need some money.

Does this meanyoure paying for a painting if I draw it from now on?

It took less than ten minutes to scribble. Do you have gold coins? It is not an urgent matter.

I wont make a budget anyway. I meant it.

It didnt matter regardless. After this moment, I wont be in need of cash!

I gave the gold coin to the racecourse official. Although there is only one, it is the largest monetary unit here, and it is a considerable amount.

Ill bet all of this.

I checked the betting paper that the official had put out with a pen without hesitation. When they saw my betting paper, Evan, the officials, and Duke of Icards eyes grew wide.

Laria? Are you really going to bet all of it?

Evan asked while he tilted his head sideways.

Yeah, Im betting all of it.

Youre spending other peoples money too carelessly.

The Duke grinned and murmured.

Well, its a kids joke anyway.

A gold coin for a joke

Soon after, gunfire rang out, and racehorses began to run.

***

In todays event, the Male Lead, Seymour Leticia, is here in the original novel.

He is a commoner who wanted to be an aristocrat, and his eyes were set to buy the title.

He is a monster born of typical capitalism.

And the man whom I betted on.

What was unusual about the original book, The Great Deal of the Empire is that Male Leads movements are described in considerable detail.

So despite the romance, it is fun to see the process of Seymour increasing his wealth.

He made astronomical sums of money by selling land and making investments, as well as tracking the ancient magic items on the continent, which there were only three.

Anyway, the important thing is that Seymour made his first big hit here.

Now, hes my role model.

This part, which first served as an opportunity for him to lay the groundwork of having a title, took place at this horse racing venue.

Sorry, Seymour. Lets split upIm in a hurry, too.

I bet on a horse with a huge dividend.

At todays race venue, a horse that no one expected to win won first place.

Knowing the development already, I did not even think about it and checked the betting paper quickly.

[ 1st Placement Black Horse ]

The black horse appeared without anyones attention and took first place. It was something no one had expected and had a huge dividend.

The Black Horses record was not very good. He even had few experiences of running like a racehorse.

But well win first place today.

Seymour happens to see the black hose before the race and bet with confidence. No matter how interested Evan is with the horse, he couldnt beat the original male lead.

Everyone looked at me, assuming Im throw away my money, but I was as cool as a cucumber.

And then when the gun went off and the race was over

The racetrack was in a mess. A horse that no one expected, the black horse, won first place.

The dividend was 34,012 times higher.
