I Became Crown Prince's Wife
I think this is Marriage Paslu (1)

"Ancia, what's wrong?"

"You're up late, get up!"

"No."

Blake grumbled as he rubbed his face into my hands.

“It's nice to see my wife's face right after I wake up.”

Ancia's heart skipped a beat thanks to her funny behavior.

"Wake up!"

I immediately went under the blanket to hide my red face.

I pulled the blanket too.

"You're overreacting ..."

"Too excessive? It's 10 o'clock!”

I didn't say all that on purpose. We really woke up late.

"I can't believe you took it off in the morning."

If anyone heard it, it would cause a misunderstanding!

His habit of making ambiguous comments is still the same. But before, he didn't understand all that.

“You should say it clearly. I just took off your blanket!”

“Release what..”.

She looked at me bashfully while holding the end of her blanket.

Unlike his plain eyes, his voice was hoarse.

I don't know if he's making fun of me or not.

After all, I cannot be affected by it.

I pulled the whole blanket from him.

"Wake up!"

***

"Are you really Rose before?"

Chelsea looked me in the face.

"Yes." Yeah."

I said while nodding.

Chelsea's dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, please speak to me calmly."

“Oh, correct..”.

It was very awkward for me to talk informally, probably because of my time as Rose.

"Sorry I can't tell you the truth, Chelsea."

"No, I'm sure you have a reason."

He replied calmly and added, “But it was really amazing.”

"Huh?"

“I think the Crown Prince won't even see another woman. But I think I was wrong when I saw him treat Rose well. Turns out, you two are the same person.”

She bowed politely while holding the tip of her skirt.

“Congratulations on your return. It's an honor to have you back. ”

Chelsea greeted me politely. I held her hand.

"Chelsea, thank you so much for being nice to me."

“No need to thank me. That's part of my job as a waiter.”

“I heard it was you who insisted on giving my food to the Crown Prince.”

“I just don't want to see the dishes you've made painstakingly thrown away. Moreover, even if it wasn't for that, the Crown Prince already recognized you.”

“Stay only, thank you very much.”

Chelsea never discriminated against my appearance and status. Instead, she helped me a lot when I was Rose.

I will never forget what he did for me.

***

Except for Chelsea, all the other waiters have quit their jobs. Not just the servants.

Those who mocked Rose's appearance, whether they were knights or servants, were all forced to leave the palace.

Not because they resigned voluntarily.

Before I came back here as Ancia, Blake had ordered everyone mocking Rose to be fired.

The day I went to cook, Melissa came back late because she was busy sorting through the list of people she had to fire.

Some people still hate me, but they endure it.

It was because they were afraid and did not want any trouble.

Now that I think about it, I didn't say anything about them because of Blake.

Blake was severely injured as a child because of his appearance. If he knew that people were judging me for how I look now, it might make him remember those bad memories.

So I just shut up.

I also never really put it in my heart because I was about to die.

“If I knew that it was Your Majesty, I would never do that.I'm sorry."

“I was very surprised by your scar back then.I'm sorry."

“I made a mistake so I want to apologize.”

But their apologies did not sound sincere in the least.

If they really feel guilty, they should have apologized to me before they were even fired.

They didn't do it until it became known that I was the Crown Princess.

Ever since that fact was revealed, they were more afraid of being punished.

But I don't really think about any other punishment other than firing him.

There was only one person who apologized honestly.

Unlike other common apologies, Charlotte came to me and told me her honest feelings.

“Your Highness, I'm so sorry. Never in my wildest dreams did I think His Majesty was Rose. I hate myself for not recognizing you.”

His apology is strange. She blames herself for not recognizing me but not apologizing for all the things she has done to Rose.

“Your Majesty, I like you very much. Let me serve you again.I can serve you much better than Chelsea.”

He said he liked me but he didn't do much to serve me.

When Ser returned to my body, Charlotte was happy, but it was purely because of my appearance.

"I didn't fire you for not recognizing me."

Charlotte is now no longer a servant of the Forens Palace but a noble daughter, so I treated her like that.

"Why then? Is it because I'm ugly?”

"What?"

Charlotte's answer was unexpected.

I was confused but he continued.

“Everyone made fun of me when I was a kid. Only His Majesty treats me well.you are my role model! I'm trying to look like you.I'll try harder. Is that not enough? I will be someone who does not embarrass you!”

I thought about Charlotte's past performances. Back then, she had a bit of baby fat, but she looked very cute and not at all ugly.

Was he acting this way because of what others had told him back then?

"It's not like that. You were beautiful then and now you are still beautiful. ”

"You're the only one who thinks like that."

I shook my head to see it.

“That's not true.I'm sure other people think the same. If anyone talks bad about you, then they are the weird ones.you don't have to care about them.”

Charlotte was crying as I kept comforting her.

“There are so many things in this world that are more important than appearance. I really want you to know it.”

"If I make a mistake, you can teach me."

I shook my head.

“You've been a waiter for a long time. Don't you think it's time to be free and see the world? “

Charlotte is obsessed and judges people by their looks. But he's still young. Not because he was born evil, but his attitude came from childhood trauma.

I decided to give him another chance.

"If you don't change your mind after you understand the reason why I fired you, then you can be my servant again."

"really?"

I'm nodding.

"Thank you very much!I will try my best and be a great person!”

After repeatedly thanking me, Charlotte left the palace.

***

I tried to do my duty as Crown Princess but Tenstheon and Blake insisted that I should rest well.

“Ancia, rest for now.”

“That's right, don't work. You need a break."

They were very awkward with each other during meals, but surprisingly, they always had the same opinion when it came to me.

They were worried that I was holding a knife so they were watching me carefully. When I drink a lot of water, they ask me if I feel unwell.

I feel too embarrassed to be protected this much.I have never experienced their level of protection even when I was a child but I understand why.

If Blake comes home after 7 years of disappearing, I'll be happy, but at the same time I'm worried too. I didn't know what to do or tell her except to tell her to rest more.

Now that I understand how they feel, I just nod at everything they say.

After all, I've been in that dark place for a long time. So many events happened at the same time and I was exhausted, so I decided to take this opportunity to rest for a while.

A lot of time has passed since I left.

This kingdom will not change drastically like Korea in that timeframe, but there will definitely be some changes.

When I went to the square, I observed what the women were wearing.I said that fashion trends have changed.

With the lifting of Blake's curse and the fall of Duke Cassil, the rank among the nobles must have changed as well.

For now, I will study and live comfortably.

Besides, there's something I want to check.

I'm heading to the Amoria Palace. Chelsea and Edon said they would follow me but I refused.

I want to check this out myself.
