When I exited the Foren Palace, I could see Blake following me from behind.
He looked at me and then ran towards me with a big smile.
"Why are you here in the cold?"
She tidied my wind-blown hair out of disarray.
Even though I'm not in my real body, she's still good to me.
I took his hand.
"Do you want to say something?"
I nodded quickly and opened my mouth.
'ME…'
I'd say 'I'm Ancia', but for some reason, I can't say it.
Not just that.
My limbs became stiff as if I was paralyzed, and I could not even lift a single finger.
"It's okay. Whatever you say, I'll believe you. So feel free to tell me.”
“……”
I want to tell him.
I'm the real one. I'm the real Ancia. I have to say it, but I can't open my mouth.
Is it because I'm sick? No, it's different. I couldn't move my muscles as if someone was controlling my body.
'Cannot be…'
Did Ser limit me to saying that I was Ancia? Since when?
"Rose, come on in."
I became stiff so she carefully hugged me, looking worried.
I went back to my room as I hugged her. Blake put me on the bed and took off my mask.
“You must be tired because you went out today. Rest."
I shook my head.
Why did Ser do this to me? Was he thinking of pretending to be me from the beginning?
Whether I accept his terms or not, is he already planning to go undercover to become me?
My heart is beating unstable.
It's okay even if no one knows I'm Ancia, but everyone should know that Ser is not Ancia
'He…'
But my body stiffened again.
Not only can I not say that I am Ancia, but I can't even say that Ser is fake?
I'm going to bed soon, but Blake's holding me back.
"rose. Don't force yourself. Have a good rest today.”
His face was full of worries.
'I'll write...'
I can barely get those words out.
Fortunately, I was able to say other words besides the fact that I was Ancia and Ser was a fake.
"Good."
Blake brought a notebook and a pen.
Even if I can't talk, I can write.
But I can't.
As soon as I reached for the pen, I could not think of any letters.I could not write as if my head was empty.
Is this why he took my voice and language skills?
He's not mad at me and took back his powers, but he took away my language skills so I won't be able to tell anyone that I'm Ancia?
I was shocked when Blake held my hand.
"Have you forgotten the letters?"
I nodded and then she smiled.
“It's okay. Maybe because I'm bad at teaching.”
I shook my head. It wasn't Blake. He taught me very well.
Even when he's busy, he'll make time for me. He also bought me a fairy tale book that was easy for me to read.
"You can learn slowly."
“……”
Even if I learn to write, I won't be able to tell the truth to anyone.
What am I supposed to do?I have to prove Ser is a fake.
Blake was still suspicious of Ser, but he had my body. He would eventually trust her from time to time.
I have to tell him. Blake would be in danger if things like this continued.
My nervousness drives me crazy, but Blake laughs out loud.
"Geez, you're a whiny."
Blake wiped my tears.
He made fun of me in this situation! I hate him!
'I'm two years older than you!'
I exclaimed furiously, but then became surprised.
Huh huh?Can I say that?
I can't say it's Ancia, but I guess I can express my age.
"Are you two years older than me?"
The corner of his mouth was raised. I'm nodding.
"You're two years older."
***
The morning sun was dazzling.
Last night I fell asleep at some point while Blake comforted me.
I was tired of going out for the first time after a long time.
I got up from my seat.
I went to the bathroom, took a shower, and stood in front of the mirror.
When I walked out the door of darkness, I felt like it was all a dream.
I regained my memories a thousand years ago and saved Ser, but my body has changed and time has passed.
Suddenly confusing change.
Thinking about how to leave quickly to keep Blake from getting hurt was already too much for me.
But now I have to calm down. I can't be like this anymore.
This is not the time to be swayed by feelings or affection! I have to protect Blake!
I'm the only one who can protect him and the others!
I have to prove somehow that Ancia and Ser are fake.
I had planned to leave peacefully, but not anymore.
I don't know if time is distorted inside the door of darkness, or do I actually walk inside for seven years, but it's not too bad to be a sudden adult, is it?
Instead, it was a good thing that my appearance finally caught up with my age.
And it's not all bad.
Blake's curse is lifted. He had grown into a beautiful and wonderful young man and was loved by everyone.
Besides, I can see Blake growing healthy, even if it's only about a hundred days.
I looked in the mirror, looking at my scar. Ser has taken my body, which means it's my body now.
Even though my left face was damaged by the burn scars, my right face was very pretty.
I always wanted Blake to be confident.
Although there was a curse sentence on his face, his face was still handsome.I think Blake did not need to be depressed because it was the fault of the people who talked about it.
But I can't think like that anymore.
I wear a mask every time I go out, and I always tidy my hair so that it covers the wound.
I can't cover the scar completely, but it's pretty good.
I'm not Laontel.
I am not Laontel who lost his life after releasing Rakshul, and cannot do anything about it.
Even though I was an orphan, I was once a healthy member of society and Blake's wife.
I'm Ancia Raelle Bellacian.
And no one can take my place.
I'll protect Blake and the others too.
Before I go, I'll make Blake happy!
I got up from my seat and opened my closet. The wardrobe was full of dresses and ornaments that Blake gave me.
I didn't use any gifts she gave me, except for some important clothes.
'Again, I'll be leaving soon .. not much time left ...'
My heart is wounded by such thoughts.
But I'm not gonna do that anymore.
I was picking out a dress when I heard a knock and Chelsea came in.
He looked a little surprised to see me.
“You look very pretty today.”
'No.'
I waved my hand, but she smiled at me.
"I'm not lying. You look so beautiful today.”
This was the first time I was praised in this body, so my face flushed red. Of course, Blake used to say that I was beautiful, but it was different from that.
"Miss Rose, did you choose a dress? ”
I nodded and pointed to the dress with the most colorful design. Then, Chelsea smiled.
"I'll help you get ready."
***
"Is it true that His Majesty has returned?"
"I think so. Didn't you see Melissa crying?”
"Oh that's good. That was very nice, but a little disappointing.”
The servants grumbled lightly.
"Are you okay with that?"
"What?"
"You don't like it?"
Camilla loved Blake with all her heart. That was why her heart ached when she heard the news of Ancia's true return.
Others were calm, even though they were disappointed.
“I like it, but what can I do? This isn't just anyone. The Crown Princess.”
"Absolutely. We are not his match since the beginning.”
They want to be Crown Princesses. They dream of standing next to Blake. Now that they had become servants, they thought that their chances were only slightly higher than the other girls.
But that's only if Ancia's dead.
Ancia was the one who freed the crown prince from his curse, as well as the woman Blake never forgot even after seven years. Especially if they are married.
He is an opponent who can never be defeated. Even if they were to marry the Crown Prince, they could only be jealous and annoyed because of Ancia.
But to do that, they had to get permission from Ancia.
