My Fiancé Was Taken By My Younger Sister, But I Plan To Get My Revenge Through My Performance at The Social Party - Episode 5

There were no lies or mistakes in the words spoken with a sincere gaze. As Victoria looked into Edward’s eyes, filled with emotion, she was taken aback by his seriousness.

I have never been needed by someone so intensely—yes, I felt it deep in my heart.

Damian has been my fiancé since we were children. Our relationship was decided by our parents’ discussion, and it was established that we would naturally get married in the future. I never even questioned it.

Compared to that, this time I was forced to make a choice. Whether to get engaged or not. Victoria herself has to decide what to do.

For a moment, Victoria hesitated, wondering whether to seek her father’s judgment. But seeing Edward’s serious gaze before her, she realized she should come to her own decision. After all, he was seeking her will.

But, you shouldn’t answer based on emotions. First, stay calm. As a noble, you must make careful decisions for the sake of the family.

“Why did you choose me?”

A question I’ve always wanted to ask. Normally, I think people would dislike the idea of welcoming a woman whose engagement has been broken off once. I want to know why you chose someone like me as your fiancée.

Especially the Harwood family, as a military aristocracy, has achieved numerous victories on various battlefields and has been awarded many medals. They are a prestigious family with strong trust from the royal family. Their status is higher than that of ordinary marquis families. Many families would wish to be engaged to them, and the demand for them as fiancées is also high.

There’s no need to go out of your way to choose me. I wanted to hear the detailed reasons for your choice.

“As I mentioned earlier, I looked into you.”

“Yes”

“That’s when I learned about your excellence. You have extensive specialized knowledge and experience in social circles and parties. I want you to use that expertise to help the Harwood family.”

“I see.”

In other words, he proposed because he wants to rely on my knowledge and experience. Hearing such an answer, Victoria’s heart sank a little. What he is seeking from her is not her person, but her knowledge and experience. Those are what he values more.

“Just…”

“Huh?”

Edward’s story was not over yet.

“As I researched about you, I became personally interested. You are always serious about your work, diligently seeing it through to the end and ensuring its success. I wanted to know more about you.”

Hearing Edward’s high praise, Victoria’s shoulders twitched. Still, he continued to speak.

“And today, after meeting you in person, I realized something. I am attracted to you. I really like your vibe. I want to be with you all the time.”

“I… I like you…”

In response to the overly frank confession, Victoria bowed her head and fell silent. Her heart raced, and she was at a loss for how to respond.

“I think I’ve gotten to know you a bit after talking for a while. I found the woman named Victoria quite likable.”

Edward’s words are sincere. That’s why Victoria, confronted with them directly, feels her heart flutter. Victoria was weak to direct actions. It was an unconscious weakness. Just his words made her face heat up and her heart tremble.

“How about it? Could you let me know if you’ll accept the engagement?”

A voice mixed with tension and anticipation. With those words, Victoria’s mind was made up.

“Y-yes. I would be happy to accept!”

A relieved smile appeared on both of our faces. I was grateful for this new encounter.

The moment she accepted the engagement, Victoria thought of the Rosewood family. She needed to inform her father about this as soon as possible. Then, she would get his approval for the engagement. Sensing her concern, Edward continued speaking.

“I have already spoken with your father. He said that if you respect and accept the person’s feelings, Lord Frederick will also recognize the engagement.”

“Is that so?”

Everything was prepared. However, Edward had kept it a secret just to hear Victoria’s true feelings. I am deeply impressed by the fact that he respected her free will.

And with this moment, the engagement was officially established. Victoria once again faced Edward, her fiancé.

“I will become Edward’s fiancée. I look forward to a long and happy future together.”

“Please take care of it, Victoria.”

The handshake exchanged contained a firm vow and warm feelings.
