I Became Crown Prince's Wife
What seems to change does not change (9)

After practicing magic, the entire greenhouse turned into a strawberry field.

“What should I do with this?”

"I'll give it to Sir Ron as a wedding present tomorrow."

Blake said calmly. The fruits were made using light magic, so it was good for his health.

"Hey, the wedding's tomorrow ..."

"Yes?"

"Can I go a little late?"

"Why?What's up?"

Blake's expression instantly turned to worry.

I quickly added, "Did you hear that Richard Cassil's wedding is set to be tomorrow?"

“Ya, I heard it.”

"I want to go there."

"Can't."

He said quickly, I hope he will oppose it, but the opposition is much stronger than I expected.

In 'The Beast and the Lady', Sophia Westin is one of Richard's women.

Marquis Westin was a greedy father who wanted to make his daughter Sophia, Empress by marrying her to Frank.

However, Duke Cassil did not give him a definitive answer even though he pretended to let Sophia get engaged to Frank.

Frank was the next heir to the throne, so there were many women who wanted to marry him. Naturally, Duke Cassil wanted to let his choice remain open until the end.

However, thanks to the efforts of Marquis Westin, Sophia is finally engaged to Frank.

Sophia happily fulfilled her father's wish. However it was before Frank humiliated Sophia for her appearance and verbally abused her. He also has a date with another woman.

Instead of apologizing to Sophia when she was caught cheating, she would yell at her, saying, 'If you don't like it, then you should break up with me.'

Sophia had a rough time, but Marquis Westin repeatedly told her that Frank would change when he grew up.

Sophia also trusted her father, praying for Blake to die as soon as possible and for Frank to become the real Crown Prince.

“Goddess, please kill the monster. He's a monster that everybody hates. The goddess did not like it either. Let the monster die so Frank can become Crown Prince. I only ask this from you: Please kill him as soon as possible. ”

Blake is not dead, but Duke Cassil is still Emperor in the original story because Richard killed Tenstheon.

Arnold Cassil loved his eldest son, Frank, so he would definitely appoint him as Crown Prince. Nothing has changed for Sophia.

Or rather, he became even more unhappy.

Not only does Frank delay the wedding day after day, he also swears at Sophia, demanding that she break up with him.

Even if she were to become Emperor, Sophia would never be his Empress. He threatened her to give up before she did anything to him angrily.

Sophia was exhausted, but her father would never allow her to break up.

Richard approached the depressed woman.

After a long struggle between her father and her fiance, Sophia finally falls in love with Richard.

Richard also pretended to love her, but of course, he didn't really mean it.

Richard uses Sophia to extract information about Frank so he can frame her. And once Frank died, he mercilessly left Sophia.

Even so in the original story, two people intertwined in such a terrible relationship would actually get married.

Of course, there is no guarantee that this time the results will be the same.

A lot of things have changed, so it's possible that they actually got married out of love.

According to rumors among the nobility, Sophia had become brighter since she met Richard, and Richard also treated her affectionately.

However, it was still difficult for me to believe it, and continue to bother me.

I asked Blake again.

“It won't be long. I'll stop by for a minute.”

“Ancia..”.

I really don't like Sophia.

The scene of Sophia praying desperately for Blake is particularly sinister, but is considered one of the best scenes in the original story.

The ones who hurt Sophia were Marquis Westin and Frank, but he pointed the tip of his sword at Blake who did nothing to hurt her, and prayed sincerely for her death.

He couldn't do that just because he was helpless.

“I really want to go.”

Blake sighed as I said it again.

"You'll leave even if I stop you, right?"

"Yes sorry…"

I didn't want to worry him or make it difficult again, but this time I couldn't help it.

Then, Blake shook his head and hugged me.

“No need to apologize.do whatever you want. I'll protect you."

"Thank you."

I leaned my head on her shoulder with a big smile.

***

The next day, we headed to the residence of Marquis Westin.

Blake and I got off the train and headed to the park where the wedding was held. There were far fewer people than expected.

I expected to see Marquis Westin's relatives attend Richard's wedding, but it seems that they instead chose to attend Ron's wedding.

"Ancia, remember what I said?"

Blake held my hand tightly as she whispered in my ear.

“Ya, don't worry.”

I clearly remember what he said before I came here. I also whispered softly to her, when suddenly, we heard an angry voice.

"Why did you stop his own brother from entering ?!"

The butler lowered his head as Marquis Westin's brother roared.

“Yang Mulia is in critical condition. It was difficult for him to serve guests. ”

"Guys?! How am I a guest? We are blood brothers! I'm much closer to him than that Roum!”

“This is Lady Sophia's order. Please wait until the ceremony is over. ”

"What's wrong with him? What was Sophia thinking ?! ”

“Sophia, what does she know? He became so enamored by that Roum that he went crazy. I must stop him before he devours the entire Westin family!”

His son, who was standing next to him, also shouted.

"Surge! I have to see them now.”

"No!"

"A butler like you dares to stop Marquis Westin's brother himself!"

"The battle for the title has already begun."

Blake said coldly. It's just like he said.

Marquis Westin is said to have fought fiercely with his brother to earn the title of Marquis.

I even heard that he kicked his defeated younger brother in a title fight without giving him a single cent.

Moreover, getting acquainted, they were more like enemies. But he seemed to be acting that way now that he heard that Marquis Westin was in critical condition.

If Richard and Sophia were to marry before his death, then Richard would be the next Marquis.

However, things would be complicated if Marquis Westin died before they could get married.

If the Marquis' brother claimed his rights and brought the people to his side, that position could easily fall into his lap.

Originally, the followers would naturally support Sophia as she was the daughter of the Marquis, but she could not guarantee their victory anymore as she was about to marry Richard who was a Roum.

They thought Richard was in a hurry to get married to prevent that from happening.

Blake also agreed, and the people at the wedding might as well have thought the same thing.

The marquis was not dead yet, so they could not rush into the fight and take sides first.

Marquis Westin had lived his entire life enjoying a fortune that even ordinary people could not dream of.

However, no one really cared for her when they heard she was in critical condition.

“I don't think he's in a hurry to get married just because of title or inheritance.”

I said to Blake while looking around the park. Overall, the atmosphere was very chaotic.

The guest seats are uncomfortable and the decor is terrible. In addition, the number of servants was also insufficient, even some guests were not welcomed well.

Was he really in a hurry because the Marquis was sick? Or does he want to look like he's in a hurry?

They say they suddenly move the date forward, but Richard and Sophia don't have to prepare everything themselves.

It would be best to ask relatives or servants for help, or to hire outside personnel.

The Westin Marquis' family did not struggle with financial difficulties, but felt somewhat contrived because it was so chaotic.

Something must be wrong.

It's not just about title succession. Richard's up to something.

I thought it was suspicious from the start, but I'm even more certain now.

"Geez, Your Majesty!"

Amidst this chaotic atmosphere, one of the guests exclaimed upon seeing us. The others were surprised and looked to our side.

"Your Majesty!"

“I didn't expect you to come.”

Originally, the groom was supposed to welcome the guests and act as the host, but Richard was nowhere to be seen.

The butler's hand was full of obstructing the Marquis' brother, so no one noticed that we were coming too.

The people who were late to find out that we had arrived rushed to greet us.

The younger brother and nephew of the Marquis, who had shouted loudly, was also startled and lowered his head.

However, despite this chaotic situation, Richard did not come out…

***

“There are very few guests. Most of the relatives had just told us about their absence. ”

The woman in the maid uniform reported to Richard.

His name is Karan and he is one of Richard's black magicians.

“They'll all be attending Ron's wedding. Those jerks.”

Richard said coldly.

One of the Emperor's most beloved servants, Sir Ron, also held a wedding ceremony, so most of them ran there.

In addition, the couple of Emperors and Empires will also attend the event.

If it was another day, he would be furious, but today was different.
