They really liked the Crown Prince, but it was also due to the pressure of their family.
When they returned home, they had to listen to their families nag about why they had yet to snatch the Crown Prince's heart.
When everyone heard about Ancia's return, they immediately gave up.
But Camila was different. He refused to give up even though the Crown Princess had returned.
“To be honest, it is true that the current Crown Princess is lacking a lot.”
“His family reputation has declined drastically, and he is older than the Crown Prince.”
Camilla said in a voice full of aggravation.
"That's true…."
“But what can we do? They're married.”
As the servants complained, Charlotte said, “But His Majesty is a descendant of Laontel Bellacian! That's why the Crown Prince's curse has been lifted!”
Everyone thought it was because of his appearance, the power of his light, and the fact that he lifted the curse.
When Charlotte shouted that, everyone quickly shut their mouths.
Everybody knows that.
It's too late now. They should've snatched Blake's heart when he left.
“She's a hundred times better than that horrible woman. She's very pretty. She was also beautiful when she was young, but now she has become much more beautiful.”
They attacked Rose.
They thought he couldn't beat Ancia. Rose is not worthy of being Crown Prince's spouse. He doesn't have any good qualities at all.
Rose could not even speak, and her appearance was horrifying.
“We don't know anything about his identity, but he doesn't know how to write, so he's definitely an ordinary person. If a woman like that snatches the heart of the Crown Prince, she will be ridiculed for years.”
"Yes! We can't even compare her to the Crown Princess!”
"But what will happen to him now?"
“I thought he was going to be expelled yesterday, but suddenly, he wasn't expelled.”
“Hey, stop. Chelsea will be angry when he hears us.”
"Wait, where's Chelsea?"
The servants looked around.
Rose and Chelsea walked towards them.
The servants became silent upon seeing him. It was not because they were caught talking behind his back.
Rose's hairstyle and makeup hid most of her scars, so few were visible.
Moreover, her sleek white dress made her look even more attractive.
Not just that. He exuded confidence and felt very elegant and charismatic.
He's never looked like this before.
"Is Rose always this pretty?"
They even forgot to greet him because he was busy appreciating his appearance.
Rose greeted them a little and smiled.
The servants lowered their heads in a hurry.
***
Blake headed to Sephia Palace this morning.
Ann called because she was sick.
Blake went into his room.
The woman claiming to be Ancia immediately jumped into her embrace the moment she opened the door.
"Your majesty!Missed you!"
Blake flicked at him and said in a monotone tone, "I hear you're sick."
“Thinking alone.I was so scared that I got sick.I thought I'd sleep with you in your palace. I'm so scared.”
"Sleep with me?"
Blake's gaze hardened and he began to emit a chill.
But Ser continued to pretend to be Ancia and held her hand tightly.
“The two of us always sleep with hands interlocked like this.”
Although Serphania is locked in the door of darkness, she can see the world through the power of light she gave Phillip and Laontel.
But he doesn't remember it completely.
He had memories of a thousand years, scattered here and there.
His memory was like broken glass.
However, he clearly remembered that Blake and Ancia fell asleep while holding hands every day.
“……”
Blake looked at the woman in front of him.
When he did not say anything, the corner of his mouth rose.
He's glad he did well.
Blake tries to take her hand off, but then she sees a ring necklace hanging from her neck.
That must be the ring and the necklace of Ancia.
"Diana's gonna be a little late."
“Diana?”
"Yes, sister of Ancia."
"Well…"
“Do you not remember?”
“Ingatanku will recover little by little.”
He really can't remember this.
Brother Ancia…
As she dug into her memories, she could only see Diana's face, but she had no memory of him.
Diana, Diana…
Ser barely remembers Diana.
“The exam season is over. He returned after seven years. Don't you want to meet her?”
“... No, I've tried to contact him. Fortunately, after returning to school, his grades are good, so I think he aims to be the best now.I think he will contact me after the exam.”
“……”
"You mean the exam's more important?" ask Blake.
Ancia wouldn't say that.
She didn't say anything about Diana because she thought she would be heartbroken if she were the real Ancia.
However, he blamed Diana like this.
Even though she lost her memory, Blake still felt that something was wrong with her.
It's not just disappointment.
Instead, a fundamental question arose within him.
'Is he really Ancia?'
If he really was Ancia, he would not care about her sudden change in character.
He just thanked her for coming back alive.
If his personality were to completely change, he would feel guilty, thinking about how difficult it would be to stay in that place for seven years.
It did not matter whether his appearance changed or his personality changed. Or even if he commits an unforgivable sin.
If she really was Ancia, she wouldn't feel like this. The more he looked at her, the more upset he felt.
"Or maybe she's jealous."
"Jealous?"
“Yes, he had a chance to take over my place, but it wasn't because of me, so he was evil. After all, she should have married you. ”
"He's not that kind of person, and it's a false rumor."
Blake and Diana were childhood friends.
After Ancia introduced them, they became close.
His words alone had already angered him.
There were not many who were polite to him, like Diana.
But someone claiming to be Ancia actually said that.
He easily believed the rumors.
Diana was jealous and evil?
It was an insult to him.
"really? But you need to be more careful. If he's not interested in you, he won't keep clinging to you. No wonder the rumors spread. ”
“...Diana is not such a person.”
"Does the Emperor think so?"
Blake sighed, seeing the face of Ancia being taken advantage of by a person like this.
“I have nothing to say. If you're not sick, I'll leave now.”
"Wait, Your Majesty!"
Ser called Blake in a hurry.
But he left without looking back.
***
I went to the study to read.
I was worried that I was losing my reading ability, but fortunately, I was able to read normally.
I sat down on the chair, picked up the paper and picked up the pen.
— I'm two years older than Your Majesty.
I'm 20 years old.
I'm Rose.
"My name is Ancia."
But when I tried to write it, my mind went back blank and I couldn't write anything.
This is not working.
- Women…
I can't write it either
I can only write what I can say.
That's probably to say I'm not Ancia. I can lie about that, but I can't tell you the truth.
For some reason, I feel very frustrated.
'I am your wife.'
I tried to write it but my mind went blank again.
If I can't reveal my identity, do I have to find another way?
—…
I tried to write 'I fell to the door of darkness' but again, my mind was blank.
I tried 'I used to live in the Amoria Palace, and I was the heir of the light, Laontel Bellacian.'
But this effort also failed.
Not only am I forbidden to say what I have experienced but things from thousands of years ago are also forbidden.
So what about regular content?
- I'm a woman.
I have long hair.
No problem with that.
I love roses.
- I like perilla leaves.
— Tea tastes best when you add lemon jam to it.
I write about my favorite things and soon I can't write anymore
—…
"I like Blake."
I tried to write it, but I couldn't.
I will write it in my last letter before I leave, but I cannot write it.
