I Became Crown Prince's Wife
Enter into the world of Novel bag.15
Ancia is an ungrateful princess. He was favored by the Emperor, but did not bother to share his wealth with his family. Had Ancia been a little wiser, she would have said some nice words on Gilbert's behalf to the Emperor and passed on a lot of good information to him.
If he knew some good information for the business, he could pass it on to Gilbert beforehand and make his family prosper. But Ancia had no intention of doing that.
Ancia received such an amazing gift every day, but she did not even send gold to Bellacian, her family. If it was Diana, she wouldn't have done this. Once the situation improves, the good girl will take care of her father and family first.
However, Gilbert could not give the precious Diana to be the monster's bride. Gilbert was furious as he thought of Ancia. Then, Duke Cassil's servant approached him.
"Your Majesty, Count Bellacian, I invite you to meet Duke Cassil."
***
Duke Cassil greets Gilbert as he enters the reception area.
"For a long time no see, Count Bellacian."
Arnold was always indifferent to Gilbert at parties. Since Gilbert has no land or property, Arnold Cassil has rated him as someone unfit to relate to.
But ever since the rumors about the Emperor and Ancia began to circulate, Gilbert could now leave arrogantly with his head raised.
"Your Majesty, long time no see."
Of course, Arnold Cassil frowned at Gilbert's disrespectful attitude.
Gilbert Bellacian was known for his terrible attitude. He was an evil person who crawled up endlessly and became a slave when ignored.
"You've been blessed with so much luck lately."
"Yes. Well, it is natural for a child to share wealth with his parents. ”
Gilbert bluffs. But it's not a lie. Ancia wants to be loved by Gilbert.
However, his pride would be hurt if they knew the truth.
"Did he always listen to you?"
"Of course, he always listens to whatever I say."
Gilbert raised his head confidently.
“It is rare to find such a learned child these days. Is your second daughter as good as her sister?
“Of course, Ancia is no match for Diana. Diana is my pride.”
Gilbert was furious when her beloved Diana was compared to Ancia.
“If she's an amazing child, then I want to welcome her as my daughter-in-law.”
"D-my chest?"
Gilbert's eyes widened.
Currently, Ancia was only the wife of the terrifying Crown Prince. Although he was said to be favored by the Emperor now, when the Crown Prince died, he would eventually be expelled from the Palace.
If Diana becomes Duke Cassil's son-in-law, she could become Empress in the future.
“Of course, for that to happen, we need to see how well Diana was educated first.”
No matter how stupid Count Bellacian was, he could understand what Duke meant.
That is to say if the Bellacians and Ancia supported the Cassil family, they would make Diana the next empress in return.
Gilbert has nothing to lose.
She could use her useless daughter to make Diana an Empress.
Of course, if Ancia supported Duke Cassil, she would lose the Emperor's favor and instead be hated by him.
But that's none of his business.
"I've decided."
Gilbert Bellacian accepted Duke's proposal without the slightest hesitation

“Dad, I'm sorry.I'm sorry,"
A girl pleaded. That's my voice, but it's not me. This memory belongs to the real Ancia.
"I'm sorry.I'm sorry."
The little girl continued to apologize to her father while sobbing. Her swollen cheeks were painful, but she did not even dare to show it.
However, it really hurts. It really hurts.
“You're embarrassing the family!You're going to be the bride of the monster, I've shuddered thinking about it!”
"I'm sorry…"
“If you are truly sorry, die right now! Hang yourself or jump into the water immediately! Die as quickly as possible to preserve the dignity of the Bellacian family!”
"I'm sorry.I'm sorry."
As the girl bowed repeatedly, a clear voice sounded.
“Ancia, Ancia!”
“Ancia!”
My eyes are wide open. Blake looked at me, worried.
"Your highness…"
The nightmare? Right, it was a dream. But it was no ordinary dream. This is Ancia's true memory.
His memories suddenly appeared in my dreams.
Despite just dreaming about it, my body trembled as if it had actually experienced it, and my body was drenched in cold sweat.
"Yes, it was a nightmare."
"What should I do…"
I was the one who had the nightmare, but Blake's eyes were red. My tears will fall too.
“Because of me .. you had a nightmare because you were with me ..”
I hugged her tightly, pulling her body closer to mine.
“AA-An-Ancia!”
Blake struggled anxiously to get out of my arms, but I tightened my arms to her.
Hugging Blake in my arms like this, the sadness and despair I felt from the dream gradually disappeared.
"Your highness…"
"Yes?"
“It's nice to be here with you.Every day, like this.”
I stroked her fine hair.
***
Sometimes, I dream of Ancia's memories. The original Ancia had suffered under the mental and physical persecution of the Count.
In the original novel, there are many highly discriminatory mentions of Count Bellacian between his daughters. However, there is a difference between heaven and earth between reading it and experiencing it firsthand.
Ancia...how much has this child experienced? How much despair did he experience before making the choice to jump into the water?
In the original novel, it is said that Ancia is obsessed with appearances so she can't stand Blake's ugly appearance and commits suicide.
But the more I looked into his memory, the more I was sure it wasn't Blake's appearance.
“If you are truly sorry, die right now! Hang yourself or jump into the water immediately! Die as quickly as possible to preserve the dignity of the Bellacian family!”
The man who killed Ancia was her father, Count Bellacian. He didn't kill her himself, but on the one hand, it was all thanks to him.
I'm still thinking about the original novel and the dream I saw when Melissa walked into the room.
"Your Majesty, Count Bellacian is here."
"Count Bellacian?"
These days, he sends me annoying letters, and now, he's here to see me.
"What am I supposed to do?"
Melissa knew I hated Count because I always ignored his letters.
"Take me to the room."
To be honest, I don't want to meet him. But I can't avoid it all my life either.
Besides, I'm curious about what he said.
***
Gilbert was very upset.
Angia made him wait a long time. He decided that next time, he should re-educate Ancia about the nobility's etiquette from the beginning.
Of course, Gilbert had never assigned an etiquette teacher to Ancia. As an unwanted child in the family, education is a luxury for him. If he did not listen to her, he would hit her several times.
Gilbert gritted his teeth and looked at the clock. He's been waiting for 55 minutes.
He planned to storm into the Crown Princess's room after an hour had passed.
But suddenly, the door opened as Ancia entered, with a servant and a knight following behind.
"What do you need?"
Before Gilbert could shout at him, Ancia asked him first.
But...Is the child really “Ancia”?
Angie is very different from before. He was always a moody kid. She had always been afraid in front of the Count, and was wearing a worn-out old dress.
But the child in front of him now seemed to be a completely different person.
She was wearing a dress decorated with colorful gems, intricate hairpins, and shoes with diamond drops as she looked at him with a beautiful yet firm gaze.
Is it because of her clothes? No. gabe. His haughty gaze and imposing gait were all different from before.
Above all, his whole attitude had changed. Ancia did not blink her eyes despite facing the angry Gilbert. Instead, he asked her confidently.
"Can't you even say hello to your father ?!"
shouts Gilbert. Although she had changed clothes and her attitude was arrogant, after all, Ancia was still the same Ancia.
He must have become arrogant since the Emperor liked him a little. Gilbert wanted to tear down Ancia's actions, but Melissa, the servant, intervened.
"Please respect Your Majesty."
