SERIES ADVISORY
THIS SERIES CONTAINS DEPICTIONS AND/OR STRONG IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOLLOWING:
• VERBAL ABUSE
Fortune Teller
Th-This is...!
Fortune Teller
I've never read for someone who has this much luck with money!
Fortune Teller
So much so that you'll practically be showered with money all your life!
Fortune Teller
All this money in this world flows toward you!
We'll I do have some money... Overwhelming so, in fact.
I've heard she's good, and she really is.
Fortune Teller
You have terrible luck in love.
Fortune Teller
As if that's what's compensating...
Fortune Teller
... For your incredibly good luck with money.
Ilya
But that can't be... I'm engaged.
Ilya
And it's not even an arranged marriage.
Ilya
We genuinely love each other.
Fortune Teller
Is that so?
Fortune Teller
But you'll lose him soon.
What is she talking about?!
Fortune Teller
You don't have to pay the fee today,
Fortune Teller
... If I said turns out to be true later,
Fortune Teller
You can pay me then.
She says I'm so unlucky in love that it's almost like I'm cursed.
And I'm going to lose my fiancé?
What the fortune teller said started to haunt me.
But I thought that sinking feeling would go away as soon as I saw Rihart...
Ilya
Whose carriage is that...?!
Servant
PLEASE WAIT, LADY ILYA!
Rihart
Are you kidding me?
Rihart
I told you not to let anyone in—
Rihart
Whatever you might be thinking now...
Rihart
... It's all a misunderstanding.
Rihart
She's my sister's guest.
Rihart
And she's taken off her dress only because she spilled a drink on it.
Rihart
I promise we weren't up to something.
Rihart
If you think about it...
Rihart
You might be my fiancée.
Rihart
But that doesn't mean you can barge in on me without notice like this...
Rihart
Without even knocking on the door.
Rihart
Shouldn't you have a little more respect for your fiancé?
I can't help but believe what the fortune teller said...
That I'm miserable unlucky...
Ilya was born into a rich count's family.
They were already notably wealthy...
But became especially phosperous after Ilya was born.
Her family had tremendous success every time they launched a new business...
A distant, unknown relative of Ilya's suddenly passed and left the family with a huge inheritance...
And every time there was a lucky ruffle for gifts...
.... 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐞.
Whenever Ilya went out without a penny, she often found a gold coin on the street
Or walked into a restaurant as it's 10,000th guest and got a free meal.
Most unfortunately of all, Ilya was engaged to her first love, Rihart...
... Who led a perfect life.
Ilya
Rihart... I loved him so much...
However, her agonizingly long-cherished love...
... Didn't turn out as perfectly.
Believing he was the man of her dreams.
She was secretly in love with him.
She'd already put so much effort into getting engaged with him.
... But it still had to strive to become his ideal type of woman.
Because he said he liked sweet, warmhearted women.
She put a smile on her face all the time...
... And even changed her hobbies and preferences as he wanted.
𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹, 𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱.
She tried to understand him, thinking he just didn't know how to express his feelings properly.
And his feelings for her were mutual, if not equally strong.
That's what she thought...
Ilya
I was such a stupid pushover all this time.
Ilya
I had no idea how much I'd sacrificed, all for his sake.
Come to think of it, Rihart turned to me only when he needed money.
Rihart
Ilya I need your financial help...
*this is just a memory of Ilya when Rihart needed money to her*
Ilya
I'm done with that now.
Then, I'll need to break off our engagement first.
Fortune Teller
You don't have to pay the fee today...
Fortune Teller
... But if what I said turns out to be true later...
Fortune Teller
... You can pay me then.
*Another memory of Ilya when she went to the Fortune Teller!*
Ilya
... I'll need to drop by the bank first.
Ilya
They're all Rihart's favorite style of dresses.
Ilya
I need some new outfits too.
Ilya
Frances, Malek, It's been a while...
Malek
You can't imagine how much we've worried about you.
Frances
It's only been a month and yet you've grown so thin...
Ilya
I'm sorry I worried you.
Ilya
By the way where are my parents and brother?
Frances
They're out at the moment.
I was so busy caring about Rihart that I haven't seen my family since it all happened.
I should also apologized to them.
Yes, I'll say sorry as soon as they come back.
Ilya
Before that, let me do what needs to be done.
Shop Owner
THANK YOU, AND PLEASE STOP BY AGAIN!
Villager
Wow! Who's that lady? *murmur*
Villager
You don't know her? She's Lady Ilya from the famous 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗻 Family.
Villager
You mean 𝗧𝗵𝗲 Blodens?!
Villager
The ones who'd still have money even if they made no income for three generations?!
Frances
My Lady, would you like to go home now?
Ilya
I need to meet someone.
Fortune Teller
I'm afraid we're closed —
Ilya
What you've foretold has come true.
Fortune Teller
MY GOODNESS!
Fortune Teller
OHMAGOD, OHMAGOD,
Fortune Teller
ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO GIVE SO MUCH MONEY TO ME?!
Ilya
Of course you deserve this. You've saved me from a miserable fate.
Ilya
... Please tell me more about my love life.
