I Became Crown Prince's Wife
What seems to change does not change (1)

Richard will be attending the dance today and returning beautifully to society.

He had been waiting for this day for seven years now.

The Cassil family falls into ruin, so does Richard's life.

Although Richard was the son of a traitor, he was the only nephew of the Emperor.

If Frank and Neon survived, there would still be nobles who felt sorry for their situation and offered to help. But Richard was treated differently because he did not have the silver hair that was a symbol of the Imperial Family but had the blood of Roum. He was only subjected to ridicule and humiliation instead. Richard gritted his teeth.

'I'll be Emperor.'

He decided that he would definitely rise to the highest position in the Empire and take revenge on everyone who hated him.

And today is the beginning of a great history.

His plan is perfect.

He builds a good image for himself through the orphanage, and is set to become the next Marquis after marrying Sophia, the only daughter of Marquis Westin.

Sophia is the fiancee of her half-brother, Frank Cassil, but that's not really a problem.

Moreover, Richard made a major contribution in the search for the long-lost Crown Princess.

Therefore, it was natural for her to be the main character of this dance party.

He would use this dance party to secure his position in society and take the first step to become the Emperor of this Empire.

If Ancia had poisoned Blake according to Richard's brainwashing, the Crown Prince would have died soon.

Richard would be suspected if Ancia was found to be the culprit, but he had already prepared a countermeasure.

After Richard married Sophia Westin, he planned to keep her distance from Ancia.

But Richard's plan was futile in an instant.

Fake Ancia. The news came to him like a lightning strike.

Richard immediately tried to understand the situation.

Rose is the real Ancia and has returned to her original form. Richard was unable to find any other information unless the fake Ancia had disappeared.

The palace knights stormed in and dragged Richard away. He did not even rest for a moment before undergoing an intensive examination.

The nightmare of seven years ago seems to be repeating itself.

He was released safely after he proved that he had accidentally brought a fake, but one problem still remained.

'What happened to the poison?'

Richard had ordered a fake Ancia to poison Blake. However, no investigation was conducted regarding the poison.

Did they not know? Or are they just pretending not to know?

It is very unlikely that it is the last. After all, there was no reason for Tenstheon to be lenient towards Richard.

The fake Ancia had disappeared without saying anything.

'What did he do with the poison I gave him? Did the fake take it? Or maybe he left it in the palace, but it hasn't been found yet?'

It was not a problem he could solve just by thinking about it.

The Imperial Family is searching for the missing fake Ancia. If he was caught, all the facts would be revealed in the end.

Richard had to find it before the Imperial family found it. Otherwise, he would be completely finished.

Richard desperately tries to find a fake Ancia.

He's being brainwashed, so he can't possibly go far alone. But he couldn't find her.

Let alone a trace, Richard could find nothing.

'Oh my God.Where did he disappear?'

Richard gritted his teeth. However, there are reports that a fake has been found.

He immediately ran to the square where a fake Ancia was reported to have been seen.

The square was crowded with people who came to see the fireworks.

'Where is he? Where's she? Don't get caught!'

Fireworks erupted and illuminated the night sky beautifully, but Richard broke through the crowd without even glancing at the fireworks.

"That's it!"

Connin, Richard's new black wizard is crying.

"Deflect your voice."

Richard said coldly.

He knew that they were acting in secret, yet he shouted as if he wanted to announce their movements to the rest of the world.

"I'm sorry."

Connin apologized and shut his mouth.

He was very lacking compared to Domiram.

For the past seven years, Richard has tirelessly searched for a black magician to replace Domiram, but has yet to find the right one.

Connin is one of the best, but he made a lot of mistakes because he was young.

When can I find someone useful…

But now is not the time to think about it.

Richard looked in the direction Connin pointed.

A blonde woman was looking at the fireworks when her green eyes lit up. Richard's heart sank as he looked at the woman.

It's Ancia.

It was not a fake one that looked similar to her, but the woman who tied the handkerchief to her mother's grave.

Richard thought his feelings had subsided.

In the midst of the sad reality, he thought that all the useless feelings like fantasizing about having family and the affection he felt for the first time in his life had been scattered like dust. But it didn't happen.

The reason why he did not feel anything special when he reunited with the fake Ancia was because he was completely fake.

As soon as he saw the real Ancia, he began to feel a deep desire to have her.

Connin whispered solemnly, but Richard was dumbfounded.

"You fool! Does he look like a fake to you?”

After being scolded by Richard, Connin looked at Ancia again.

He was shocked when he saw Crown Prince Blake standing beside him. So she was the real Crown Princess?

“What is he the real one? But they really look alike.”

Connin knows his face because he chanted a brainwashing spell on a fake Ancia. And their faces are exactly the same.

He heard that the real and fake faces were very similar to each other, but he did not expect that they would look that far. They look completely identical.

"I'm sorry."

"You're stupid."

Richard looked at Ancia as he suppressed his raging rage.

Ancia and Blake looked at each other affectionately and spoke casually. Then, Blake kissed him.

Under the fireworks that exploded in the night sky, Richard could clearly see the two kissing.

Richard clenched his fists so tightly that his fingernails stuck into the flesh.

His blood began to boil with an unbearable fury.

'She is my woman!'

She is my woman. She must be my woman.

In addition to the desire to have Ancia, he seems even more angry to see Ancia stolen by Blake.

"I hate you."

At that moment, a woman's voice sounded in Richard's ears.

***

"I hate you."

Richard frowned and covered his ears with his hands. The woman's voice was heard in her ears.

Last night in the square, he heard a woman's voice and his head started to hurt a lot. He eventually manages to return home with Connin's help.

'What happened to me?'

Richard's been through this a lot in the last few years. Not only did he experience auditory hallucinations, but he also dreamed of strange things.

A woman appears in a dream. At first he thought it was Ancia, but it wasn't.

Name's Laontel.

He had the same name as Laontel Bellacian, a light magician who had contributed greatly to the founding of the Asteric Empire.

Although their names were the same, there was no way he was the same person as Laontel Bellacian.

There are a few notes about him. Not even a single portrait could be found.

It is impossible to dream of someone who lived a thousand years ago without even knowing their face.

But then who is he? He was the one who said, 'I hate you.'

He continued to experience auditory hallucinations, and even the woman who appeared in his dreams looked at him and said that he hated him.

Is it because she looks like Ancia? It was just a dream, but Richard felt very angry.

'Why did I dream that?'

it's fake! Come to think of it, he started to get these dreams after the fake Ancia appeared. From then on he suffered auditory hallucinations and headaches.

Richard gritted his teeth.

He must catch her immediately. He had to ask what he was doing with the poison he had given him and find out what he was doing to his body.

She was sure she was no ordinary woman. She has the same appearance and language skills as Ancia.

He had deceived even the extremely cautious Tenstheon.

He had lost his memory and was brainwashed by black magic, but it might also be a lie.

The Emperor was looking for a fake Ancia. However, she acted cautiously, as if she was looking for a missing member of the royal family and not a sinner pretending to be the Crown Princess.

Even though he had committed a crime, Tenstheon seemed to be just pretending to look for him. Richard suspected that Tenstheon had no intention of arresting him.

His attitude was completely different from the way he had punished the Crown Princess impersonator until now.

The truth that Richard's investigation ended sooner than expected may have something to do with the woman's identity.

Does he know anything about the Imperial family?

Richard felt that the fake was like a demon that had come to destroy his life.

But maybe the opposite.

If that fake Ancia knew a big secret, then this could be an opportunity.

After all, he had to find a fake one before the Imperial family did.

Richard desperately searched for it and ran into the square yesterday when he heard that they had found a fake. But Ancia and Blake were there.

He still remembered the shadow of Ancia and the Crown Prince kissing under the fireworks.

At that moment, he started to get angry again.

'I will definitely become Emperor. I will get rid of the Crown Prince and make him my woman!'

From the moment he saw the real Ancia, the possessiveness he felt surged and spread throughout his body.

Richard was about to exit when the butler entered his room.

"Sir, I have a message from Marquis Westin."

He sent a letter to Richard.

What the hell is going on? The Marquis had never sent him any letters before …

Richard had an unpleasant feeling when he opened the letter. As he read the contents, his expression wrinkled horribly.

It was an engagement cancellation letter.
