I Became Crown Prince's Wife
The appearance of Ancia (6)
As I stared at the paper, I heard Blake's voice from behind.
"You've been studying since morning?"
I'm nodding.
“You don't have to work too hard. I can still read your lips.”
He smiled after seeing my writing.
“You like perilla leaves and lemon jam too?”
I'm nodding.
I don't want to hide the fact that I'm Ancia anymore.
She stroked my hair slowly.
“Why do you look prettier today?”
'Am I beautiful?'
"Yes, you're always beautiful."
Blake looked me in the eye.
“Do you want to go to Amoria Palace? There are many fresh vegetables in the greenhouse.”
I looked at him in wonder.
Can I go there?
The Amoria Palace was a place where only Blake, Ancia, and a few servants could enter.
He took me to the palace because until yesterday, he still thought I was Ancia.
But then, Ser showed up.
Even though it's unconfirmed, it's more likely that he's Ancia than I am.
But he wants to take me there again?
'Can I really go?'
“Of course, you can go there anytime.”
He said to me gently and extended his hand.
“Come go Rose.”
I got up from the chair holding his hand.

We went to the Amoria Palace together.
As soon as I entered the greenhouse, I went straight to the vegetable garden.
When I came here yesterday, I tried to ignore it. But today, I am happy to see the vegetables growing so well that my heart is satisfied.
The temperature of the greenhouse is controlled by magic, allowing the vegetables to grow well throughout the year.
The flowers are beautiful, but I prefer the vegetables.
Looking at the vegetables everywhere, I want to jump for joy.
"Pick as many as you want."
'What can?'
"Yes. I'll ask Terry to cook it.”
I started picking vegetables quickly.
It was fun to pick up a great vegetable.
"Rose."
I was still focusing on picking vegetables when Blake called out to me.
I turned around to see her smiling beautifully with the red peppers in her hand.
“Ah—“
He put red pepper in my mouth.
Back then, even Koreans accustomed to spicy food could not resist the taste and had to drink about two liters of water after eating red peppers.
It was a crime for him to laugh so beautifully while doing this kind of thing.
His actions will annoy others, but it doesn't bother me.
When I was living in Korea, there was a jjampong restaurant in front of the company I worked for. It was famous for its spiciness and I was a regular customer there.
The boss was always surprised to see me eating spicy food so well.
I smiled confidently and was about to eat the red chili, when I suddenly heard the voice of a woman.
"Your majesty!"
Ser shouted with Edon following behind him.
Ser approached Blake with a bright smile.
Blake's expression hardened.
"How did you get in here?"
Blake looked at Ser coldly. Edon answered quickly.
"I brought him here to help him remember his memories."
Edon's lying. He was only acting on Blake's orders.
He said he was Ancia, but he wouldn't have brought her here without Blake's permission.
Edon defends Ser.
"Yes. Mr Edon brought me here!”
Ser naturally handed the blame to Edon.
“I wonder what kind of place I used to live in. This place is small and old. Your Majesty is too much. He put you in a separate palace like this just because you were cursed.”
Ser said with a sad expression.
Blake looked at him for a while before saying to Edon,
“...I told you not to let anyone into the Amoria Palace without my permission.”
"I'm sorry."
"Take him away."
"Yes, Your Majesty, let's go."
“How about the woman?”
Edon tried to drag her away but Ser pointed at me.
"He's still here so why are you telling me to leave!"
"Your majesty."
Edon tries to take her away but Ser grabs Blake's collar.
“…”
“I Ancia. I'm the one who freed you from your curse. You must be nice to me.”
"Don't say my wife's name again."
"What?"
“You said you lost your memory. So why are you so sure that you are Ancia?”
“It...”
“Go to Sephia Palace and reflect, if you really are Ancia.”
"Your highness…"
Ser was surprised by Blake's attitude.
Of course he was shocked. Ser has taken over my body, so it's natural to think of him as Ancia. But Blake continued to doubt him.
"Your Majesty, let's go."
Edon tried to drag Ser away again.
He finally stopped being stubborn.
When they left, Blake approached me.
“Rose, there are fresh fruits there. Should we go there?"
He said while holding my hand.
His cold attitude from before was invisible. He was kind to me as always.
"Yes, let's go."
I'm nodding.

When Edon entered the butler's office, Melissa rushed up to him.
"Mr Edon, why did you come back so soon?"
"Your Majesty told us to return."
"Is it because of Rose?"
"Yes." Yeah."
When he nodded, Hans was stunned.
"You mean she turned it down because of Miss Rose?"
Ancia suddenly appeared at the Foren Palace and asked where Blake was.
When he said he was at the Amoria Palace, he said he would go to him.
Edon explained that he could not enter the palace without His Majesty's permission.
“Did you reject me because I lost my memory? Humans really suck!you're just a waiter!you just have to do what you're told to do!whose side are you on? That woman's side?”
They were shocked to hear Ancia speak like that to them.
Ancia is not that kind of person.
He never discriminated against anyone because of their status, occupation, or appearance.
Although Edon and Terry were ordinary people, he treated them well and even praised them.
But now it was as if he was a very different person.
But even if he was different now, he still remained Ancia.
Blake had missed Ancia for seven years, so Edon took her to the Amoria Palace.
Although the Crown Prince was with Rose, he thought that Blake would pay more attention to Ancia than he did.
But they're completely wrong.
Edon recalled what had happened in the Amoria palace as he opened his mouth.
"Your Majesty doesn't consider her to be Ancia."
"What?"
"Huh?"
Melissa and Hans were shocked.
Of course, they felt that something was wrong with Ancia.
He has changed a lot.
His face was the same but his personality, manner of speaking, and behavior were so different that he felt like a different person.
Melissa remembers seeing Blake and Ancia on the way to Sephia Palace together last night.
There was a tension between them.
He could not feel the slightest bit of atmosphere they had when they were children.
Instead, he could feel that atmosphere when Blake and Rose were together.
Melissa thought of Blake and Rose looking at each other warmly, but she quickly erased the thought.
The real Crown Princess has returned. She could not believe that Rose reminded her of Ancia.
That's not possible.
According to Collin, Ancia still had the power of light.
She had the same appearance and power of light, so she was definitely the real Crown Princess.
"Did he have any evidence?"
Hans asked but Edon shook his head.
"I don't know, but there must be something we don't know."
Their expressions turned grim.
Just yesterday, they were happy to hear that Ancia has returned.
Now that he had returned, they thought that only happiness would fill the entire palace from then on.
But another matter occurred in the Forens Palace.
***
Blake orders Hans to investigate Richard.
“The famous Richard orphanage has better facilities than any other orphanage. They have plenty of clothing and food supplies, as well as provide a good education.”
Hans reported the results of his investigation.
“In addition, they accept Roum children and persons with disabilities without discrimination. Some people see it negatively, but most people praise them for it.”
Unlike orphanages run by empires, private orphanages were often discriminated against.
The private orphanage was usually where wealthy families adopted children. In return, they received many donations. Therefore, disabled children, Roum, and anyone who looks ugly are not welcome.
It was amazing for Richard to open his door for everyone, but Blake could not help but feel that there was something wrong with the situation.
