I Became Crown Prince's Wife
The appearance of Ancia (10)
I read a book about my limitations in the library, but I can barely read it because I don't have my language skills.
The sentences were difficult, and mixed with a special language made with magic.
If I have my language skills, I can read them easily. But I can't give up like this, I can ask for Blake's help, find the magician of the imperial palace, or find something else.
I will do my best to lift the restrictions and make sure to tell Blake the truth about me and Ser.
I thought meeting Ser would be the quickest way to end this, but he blatantly avoided me.
Moreover, he was even hostile when we met each other.
If I talk to him, I might provoke him instead.
I closed the book and suddenly felt dizzy.
I sat in the chair for a while and got up.
I can't keep lazing around like this.I need to exercise. I have to go for a walk for a while.
"Hello."
While I was walking alone, someone greeted me.
When I turned around, I saw that it was Jayden.
He leaned over quickly and greeted me.
He wore comfortable clothes and held a training sword in his hand.
I write to talk to him,
- Are you still practicing?
He nodded after seeing my writing.
"Yes." Yeah."
A small rest was given to the knights of the imperial palace before the day of establishment.
Of course, they continued to do their job but no formal training was done until the end of the founding day.
Jayden is still training even though everyone is resting.
- You are amazing!
I wrote to Jayden and he scratched his head in embarrassment.
“It's not a big deal.I tried harder because I wasn't good enough.”
His words are too simple.
Even his senior, who complained about his outspoken attitude, acknowledged his skill. He was the best graduate of the knight academy, so it was only natural that he would be very good.
you are too humble.
I wrote it again in my notebook, and she immediately denied it.
"No, I'm nothing compared to the Crown Prince."
If Jayden says that, then Blake is known for his skills. Seeing her efforts from an early age come to fruition, I felt as if I was the one being praised.
Suddenly, I heard Blake's voice from behind.
"What are you two talking about looking so happy?"
He casually walked to my side and held my hand tightly.
Her attitude did not change even though a woman with the same appearance as Ancia appeared. However, I still have a question on my mind.
Why is he so good to me?
Even if he wasn't sure who the real Ancia was, he would most likely suspect Ser rather than me…
"Jayden is practicing."
"really?"
It's easier for me to talk to Blake with words.
'Isn't it amazing to practice on holidays?'
As expected, Diana had a good eye for people.
I looked at Jayden happily as Blake said, "Jayden, let's have a sword fight."
“It's an honor.”
Jayden must have been surprised by the sudden confrontation but he immediately lowered his head.
They're heading out into the field.
When the people saw that the Crown Prince and Jayden were going to fight, many knights stopped by to watch them.
"Oh, Miss Rose is also here."
"Hello, Miss Rose."
They greeted me.
They were used to me now, so no one frowned or stared or made any unpleasant expressions like before.
"You've become so beautiful that I don't notice who you were before."
"Absolutely. You look different.”
They talk to me kindly.
I smiled lightly and greeted them before looking into the field again.
Jayden was one of the five knights with large bodies.
When she entered the academy, Diana said she was the biggest among the freshmen.
In contrast to Jayden's physique, Blake was slender and tall.
Maybe because of that, I was somehow worried when I saw them standing in front of each other.
Blake, are you gonna be okay?
As I looked at the two men facing each other nervously, I heard the knights talking from behind.
“Wow, how long have we not seen a sword fight?”
"really? It's been too long.”
"But is Jayden going to be okay?"
"I'm sure he'll do well."
"Absolutely. His Majesty seems to be in a good mood today. I'm sure he'll be fine, I guess.”.
As I looked at the knights in a daze, I heard the sound of swords clashing.
Clangs!
When I turned around, I saw Jayden thrown backwards.
Huh huh?
What the hell's going on?
I can't understand the situation.
Then Blake asked,
"Do you want to continue?"
"Yes. Let's go!"
Jayden rose with great difficulty, barely able to hold his sword.
Although he was having a hard time, his face was full of excitement.
Blake used to be in Jayden's position.
Back then, although he kept falling and could not hold the sword properly, his face was full of excitement and passion when he faced Tenstheon.
It reminds me of the past.
“……”
I smiled and looked at Blake.
Unlike Tenstheon's warm gaze, Blake's eyes were rather cold.
No, my Blake is good. He's not that kind of person.
I immediately wiped out the thoughts that had popped into my head.
When Jayden regains his powers, the battle begins again.
But then again, he was thrown off before even 10 seconds had passed.
Even if I don't understand swordsmanship, I can see that Jayden is no match for Blake.
Blake has mercilessly destroyed Jayden.
Isn't that too much?
The knight who was watching excitedly became even more immersed.
Blake had no intention of stopping and Jayden wanted to keep fighting.
No one dared to stop the Crown Prince.
Jayden will be hurt if he keeps doing this.
She was a precious friend of Diana's…
Jayden fell again many times and he couldn't stand it anymore. I approached.
'Sir, are you okay?'
He couldn't read my mouth so I wrote in my notebook.
- Are you okay? Are you hurt?
He looked at my writing and replied with a nod.
"I'm fine."
In contrast to her answer, she did not look okay at all.
He seems to have trouble speaking.
- You have to stop.
Jayden shook his head.
"No."
I tried to persuade the stubborn Jayden, then I heard Blake groaning behind me.
'ah!'
I looked at him in shock and saw him sitting on the floor.
My heart sank instantly.
I rushed to him immediately.
'Your Majesty, what's wrong? Are you hurt?'
“My wrist..”.
Blake dropped his sword and pointed at his wrist.
Was he injured during the fight?
I anxiously checked his wrist when I heard the knight's voice.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
"Your majesty!"
"Your Majesty is wounded!"
After hearing the news of his injury, the knights rushed to our side.
The knights will be much better at first aid than I am.
As I tried to move to the side, Blake pulled my hand and carried me into his arms.
"Because of you."
'K-Your Majesty ...!'
"Go."
He ordered the knights to leave and soon, the bustling atmosphere calmed down.
What the hell's going on?
I wanted to see the situation but I couldn't because I was stuck in his arms.
After a while, I looked up and saw the knights walking to Jayden's side.
"Jayden, let me help."
"I'm fine…"
"Come on! Ouch!”
The knights carried Jayden over their shoulders while Jayden continued to say that he was fine.
Shortly after, they disappeared from view.
“Ah!!”
I looked at his hand again and found that no one was hurt.
'Your Majesty, are you alright?'
"I don't know." She's pouting.
I laughed because it reminded me of young Blake.
'Are you angry?'
“You only care about other people.You don't show interest in me. ”
'me?'
"Why are you so good to Jayden?"
Huh huh?
Jayden treated me well from the start. He never judged me by my appearance.
So I'm very grateful to him.
I feel comfortable with her because of Diana.
But I don't think I'm paying more attention to it.
'I never did that. Are you sure you're okay?'
"Oh…"
I grabbed her wrist again as I said doubtfully.
It's not swollen. What's more, it felt like a one-sided battle and Jayden didn't touch Blake at all.
“Aduh, sick.”
'Is it so painful?'
I should have stopped them early.
No matter how good the skills were, there was a clear difference in their weights.
He probably sprained on his wrist during the battle.
'Should I call a doctor?'
"No."
Blake looked at me flirtatiously.
I slapped his arm with a smile.
He's lying!
