I Became Crown Prince's Wife
Return of the Original Ancia (2)
"You must be careful. This is the body of Ancia, ”
Ser touched the sword with his hand.
The sword pierced his finger and a drop of blood appeared there. Blake hurriedly put away his sword. He still needs to protect Ancia's body.
“Don't be mad at me.I didn't do anything, Ancia herself chose this."
"What do you mean?"
"I gave him a chance but Ancia said no need."
Ser grabbed Blake's hand.
Blake tried to let go of his hand, but at that moment, something flowed into his head.
Ser had sent him some fragments of his memories.
He could see a little girl walking in the darkness, relying on the dim light emitted by Macul.
It's Ancia.
He must have lost his shoes somewhere. His hands and feet were full of wounds.
The light from the macul gradually faded away.
And the little girl eventually grew into a woman.
But he didn't stop walking.
'He has walked in the door of darkness for seven years to lift my curse?'
Blake's heart was broken hearing the confession.
He had searched for Ancia desperately, wondering where she was and how she was doing.
However, he never imagined that for seven years he had wandered inside the door of darkness endlessly.
But it's too early to be sad.
“...I will kill the crown prince first. Then you'll be on my side, right? ”
After Ser removed the seal, he tried to kill Blake.
He doesn't know the exact reason because Ser didn't give him a full memory.
However, as the goddess of light is betrayed by Phillip and sealed inside the door of darkness, Blake can guess that she hates him because he is a descendant of Phillip.
“No, Ser! Please no! I love her! He's the one I love! Please, Ser!”
Ancia pleads.
“All this is for love! Isn't that funny? If he's so valuable, then give me your life instead. ”
“I'll give it to you.”
"You lied."
“I don't. Kill me now. But in exchange for my life, don't touch her.”
Ancia willingly gave up her life to protect Blake.
He managed to save his own life but lost his body to the goddess. He also lost his voice.
[If you stain the sword with the Crown Prince's blood, I will return yours. Your beautiful body, your voice, your language skills, your light power, you can get it all back!]
The goddess gave Ancia a chance, but Ancia refused her offer.
"I don't need it."
He gave up everything for Blake even though he knew that he could only live for a hundred days.
The surroundings became bright and Blake could see Sephia Palace again.
The goddess of light, whom Ancia called Ser, said in tears, “Everything is the choice of Ancia.I gave her so many chances but she always refused. ”
Blake gritted his teeth.
It's all because of him.
Just because of him, Ancia gave up everything she had.
He feels like an idiot. He was angry at himself for being a burden to him.
Now, he couldn't just see Ancia suffer.
“What should I do to save Ancia?”
Ser smiled strangely.
"Do you want to save her?"
"Tell me how."
"Are you saying you want to save that ugly woman?"
“You don't have to repeat it. Of course."
"Crown Prince, why don't you come over to my side?"
"Stop talking nonsense."
snapped Blake, trying to contain his anger.
Ser is serious.
“Only the two of us know the truth. As long as you choose me, you can get whatever you want. ”
She seductively held Blake's hand.
“Great power of light, prosperity, and gold for the empire. With gold and unlimited mana, you can have anything you want. ”
That's a very good offer. No one will reject it.
But Blake brushed his hand violently.
“I don't need it.”
“Ancia will not return. She'll live with that ugly face for the rest of her life.”
“I don't care. As long as it's Ancia, nothing else matters."
Blake begged him as he knelt on the floor.
“Please save Ancia. I'll do anything to save him.”
“You'll do anything? Even cursed again?”
A cynical smile fell on Ser's mouth.
“If you are cursed, everything will return to how it was. Everyone will hate you for it. You will live in hell again. Do you still want it? For Ancia, can you continue to live in hell for the rest of your life?”
After all, love is a very hypocritical thing.
People may say they will do anything for their partner, but they will draw the line on something that will hurt them.
Ser is convinced that Blake is the same.
No need to wait for the answer.
“It's been a blessing that I could meet Ancia.”
Blake smiled happily.
"You…"
Ser speechless.
Did he really want to sacrifice himself for Ancia?
Ser gave him a transparent bottle.
"What's this?"
“Give this to Ancia. He will regain his original body and become healthy again.”
"really?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Blake looked at the bottle.
He was just worried about Ancia's safety. He was not worried about being cursed anymore.
But how long can he last?
Ser imagined the curse sentence appearing again on Blake's face as he added coldly, "Once Ancia takes the medicine, you'll die."
“……”
"Can you sacrifice yourself for that love?"
Blake heard what he said and got up from his seat.
This time, he would give up. He knows it.
Ser smiled as Blake opened his mouth.
“I always had nightmares every night when I was a kid. It was full of fire and screams. However, when I woke up from my dream, I could not remember many things. But now I know. You're the one who showed up in my dreams, right?”
“……”
Did she?
Ser sorted through his memories but nothing appeared in his mind.
"If I die under your curse, will your hatred disappear?"
Blake asked but Ser could not answer.
He spoke again as he calmly watched her.
“If that is so, why don't you kill me immediately?why are you doing this to Ancia? You're his friend, aren't you?”
Blake asked after recalling that memory,
He didn't know when it happened but the two looked very close.
"…good."
Ser answered quietly, breaking the silence.
“I just need to trust you. Please keep Ancia safe even if I die.”
“……”
"And I'm sorry."
“Why are you sorry? Are you going to apologize for replacing Phillip?”
Ser answered coldly. But Blake shook his head.
He would not apologize for what his ancestors did a thousand years ago.
“In my dreams, you scream so painfully, yet I always forget when I wake up. I cannot remember you, so I cannot help you.”
Ser's screams rang incessantly amidst the flames, but Blake could not remember it when he woke up.
If he remembered it, the goddess of light could have been released earlier.
And Ancia would not suffer like that.
"I'm sorry."
He lowered his head and apologized.
***
Blake takes the medicine bottle Ser gave him and goes to the Amoria Palace.
As soon as he entered the room, he clasped Ancia's hand firmly.
His heart rate is very weak.
"Why did you do that? Idiot…"
Tears welled up in her eyes as she thought of Ancia walking alone in the darkness.
“Just throw me away.you should have left. Why are you doing such a stupid thing?”
He shouldn't have held onto Ancia. He should have let her go when he first wanted to leave.
Thanks to him, Ancia suffered something that she should not have experienced.
"I'm sorry."
She thought Rose was Ancia but hesitated because she still had a faint shadow of doubt.
He shouldn't have doubted it.
He should have believed in his intuition. His soul responded to Ancia.
"I love you, Ancia."
Blake held her hand tightly. And without any hesitation for a moment, he slipped the medicine into Ancia's mouth.
He did not care whether he was cursed again or lost his life.
There was no need to worry, because for him, he had no reason to live other than for Ancia.
Angie is everything to him. He can't let go of it at any cost. Even his own life is not important.
As soon as the liquid entered into Ancia, Blake's vision blurred.
He fainted, and the empty bottle stopped beside him.
***
"If I die under your curse, will your hatred disappear?"
When Blake asked that, Ser could not answer him.
He was a friend of Laontel.
He remembered one of his most vivid memories.
