I Became Crown Prince's Wife
How about a cup of tea? (6)

As tancinol spread on the ship and the sailors fell one by one, the captain finally gave up going to Chang and returned to port.

Blake said he would go there himself to find out about the situation.

She has the power of a goddess, and she won't be infected with tancinol.

But I caught him while he was in a hurry to go to the harbor.

"No! Blake, don't go!”

“Ancia..”.

"I'll go there, stay here!"

I kept thinking about Rakshul, who caught tancinol.

Of course, Blake was different this time, but I was still worried.

Blake wrapped his big hand around my face.

"Don't worry.I'm fine. I haven't even caught a cold since the curse was lifted.”

“I know, but I was also given the power of a goddess. I can't be sick either. So I'll go there.”

“You can't.”

He shook his head.

“I know about tancinol. I saw something about tancinol inside the door of darkness. So I better go!”

"No, it's dangerous."

“I won't be in danger! I am the light wizard. No one in the entire continent knows the miracle of healing better than me.”

I persuaded Blake. But his eyes sank sadly.

"Didn't you trust me?"

“It's not like that, it's just that I'm worried and nervous.”.

I clasped his hand tightly.

“So let me go. If it's really tancinol, I should go there. ”

Blake let out a long sigh as I continued to be stubborn.

“OK, then let's go together.”

“If I go alone..”.

"That's.no-you can't go alone."

blake said firmly.I never thought he would be this hard either.

"okay."

I can only nod.

***

Me, Blake, and the imperial knights headed for the harbor.

When I arrived at the harbor, I could see many people from the church.

Tancinol has long been administered in the church because it is known as a disease given by the goddess.

So it is only natural that many people from the church are here.

But the atmosphere is strange. The port was noisy with spectators.

This was due to the lack of proper control by the holy knights.

In the event of an epidemic, entry and exit of people should be strictly stopped to prevent more casualties. However, the people from the church did not seem to have the intention to do so.

Necklaces made of light stones where hung on the necks of priests and knights.

What are they thinking? Are they trying to take advantage of this?

Entering the harbor, I could see that my guess was correct.

“Tancinol spread to sea! Angry goddess!”

Gail, a teenage priest, shouted loudly as if she was making a speech.

Other high-ranking priests, such as Howard Kensway, were next to him.

Many high-ranking priests gathered.

Just because of the tancinol outbreak, the priests lived far away.

The purpose of this opportunity is to make people believe that false rumors are true.

Blake also felt an unusual atmosphere and whispered softly in my ear.

"Ancia, come back first."

"I'm fine, so there's nothing to worry about."

They try to take advantage of them for their own benefit.I can never forgive someone like them.

"Here comes the crown prince, the light of the Empire."

The people who saw us greeted Blake. But that's all. They're ignoring me.

“What kind of a greeting is that?”

The sound of Blake cold.

The air around him froze, but the priest only smiled.

"We don't know if she's the real crown princess."

His words surprised everyone.

"Is the rumor true?"

"Is he really a demon?"

As the audience chatted, Edon shouted.

"Shut up! How dare you!”

"Don't you know the punishment of insulting the royal family ?!"

When the imperial knights said so, the people were silent.

The vast port was filled with silence.

Blake and the priest were facing each other about the matter of greeting me.

"Where is the patient?"

I broke the silence and asked questions.

Tancinol is highly contagious. It should be stopped as soon as possible.

But the priest ignored me as if he couldn't hear me.

Blake couldn't take it anymore and tried to pull out his sword. Gail, who was next to him, quickly replied.

"In the ship."

"Has the treatment not started yet?"

When I asked, Howard had an arrogant smile.

“Do you not know what tancinol is? It was a ship cursed by a goddess. We'll burn the whole ship.”

There may be someone who is not infected.

But he's gonna burn those people to death?

Even when they heard the news that the epidemic had spread, I knew why all the high-ranking priests, who usually only sent low-ranking priests, gathered here while standing in a safe place.

They'll kill all the crew from the start. They appear here confidently because they have no intention of curing the patient from the very beginning.

"Are you sure it's tancinol?"

They claimed that the crew had tancinol disease without even seeing the patient.

“The priests have confirmed it. They are cursed by the Goddess, and we cannot let them live.”

"Did you really see them?"

Richard's mother was mistakenly killed when she got the flu, people assumed that she had tancinol.

The initial symptoms of tancinol are difficult to identify precisely because they are similar to the flu, and once other symptoms appear, they are often mistaken for tancinol as well.

"You must have wanted to protect them somehow."

Howard quipped.I felt their bad intentions towards me somehow.

"I thought you wanted to get rid of them."

"Cannot be. I am a devotee of the Goddess of Light. Why would I want to get rid of them? I need to protect my country from the devil.”

“Do not sell the name of the goddess for your own sake.”

"What did you just say? How dare you insult the church!”

Howard was furious. Then Blake replied to his words coldly.

"Is there something wrong with my words?"

Even the crown prince had to be courteous to high-ranking priests.

Although Blake was in an informal relationship with the high priest, Marron, it was because of Marron's permission.

He continued his words.

"How should I punish you for your sin of insulting Your Majesty?"

Blake took his sword. Imperial and the holy knights also took out swords at the same time.

The situation reached its worst, with the two forces facing each other fiercely.

Then the cry of a man was heard on the ship.

"Help me! Please save my life!”

Howard's face bowed as the man who looked like the captain got off the ship.

Then Gail ordered immediately.

"What are you doing? A sinner cursed by a goddess! Stop it right now!"

The holy knights caught him. However, the captain cried out in despair even as he was dragged along.

"Help me! There are sailors who are not sick! Please save us!”

However, people are more surprised than sympathetic.

Skin's pale. Many bruises and spots spread all over the body, his eyes completely unfocused, and every time he shouted, his teeth fell out and his gums bled.

“Tancinol!

“Agh!”

"Kill him now!"

Although not sure it was tancinol, the spectators started screaming in fear upon seeing the patient.

Even the priests and holy knights looked terrified. The same goes for imperial knights.

"Stop now. Let the captain go. ”

However, I gave orders to the knights.

"Ah yes…"

The knights looked at Howard for a moment, but immediately let go of their hands as the captain fell.

They also do not want to touch patients with tancinol.

I took a step towards the captain. Then Blake was surprised and held my hand.

“Ancia!”

"Don't worry. It's okay."

I grabbed his hand and approached the captain again.

Maybe he was worried about me, so Blake walked with me. I didn't stop him.

Edon and the imperial knights followed him.

“I greet the crown prince, the light of the Empire. A, and..”.

Captain Barley greets Blake even though he's sick. And he looked at me for a moment.

He doesn't know who I am. He left a few months ago, so he would not hear about the return of the crown princess.

"She's Ancia, crown princess."

When Edon told him, the captain lowered his head.

"I greet the crown princess, a blessing from the empire."

“It's enough. Standing."

"Your Majesty, please save us!"

The captain pleaded with earnest. I helped him stand up.

When I touched the patient myself, the surrounding area was noisy.

"Don't worry. First of all, tell me what happened.”

“Anald smoothly. But one by one, something's wrong with their bodies.”

“Do you feel dizzy and have problems with your teeth?”

"Yes." Yeah."

“You have bleeding in the gums and hematuria?”

"Yes! Exactly right!"

He's nodding. But he quickly added if he was worried.

“But I don't think it's tancinol. I don't cough.”

"That doesn't make any sense! They should have tancinol! The goddess was furious as they tried to join hands with Chang and punish them! They were abandoned by the goddess.”

Howard shouted furiously.

That's ridiculous. Who needs to be angry.

"No, they don't have tancinol."

I refute his words.
