I Became Crown Prince's Wife
Into the Light we Dream of (1)

“This is the first time I've ever been alone with my sister. It's like being on a date.”

Diana's mouth corners rose slightly.

He took off his academy uniform and put on his regular clothes today.

Diana looks really cool with a loose shirt and tights.

It is said, since the day of the national establishment, there has been a series of requests for dating and accompanying dance parties to Diana.

Not from men, but from women.

I think there are a lot of young women who fell in love with Diana after seeing her dance with me before.

I was actually worried about their response or saying something bad after that, so the relief turned out like this.

We are now going to the Camellia orphanage that Richard runs.

Technically, it's not just the two of us dating. The imperial knights are with us.

After Richard disappeared, it was decided that his orphanage would be managed by the state.

Meanwhile, I wanted to see Camellia's orphanage, but Blake was worried about me, so I didn't do it until now.

Today, Blake had an event to attend, so he couldn't keep me company. She immediately contacted Diana to go with me.

“You do not need to accompany me, why did Blake call you... were you not busy studying?”

“He did a good job. If he let my sister go alone, I would be very angry. ”

Diana raised her voice excitedly.

“And don't worry about academy. All the tests are done, only the last winter training is left. There is nothing more to learn.”

“How is the test?”

Since this is a test taken at the academy, of course, a security device might be provided, but I am still worried. But he answered, though,

"It's okay. It's just a regular test. I was assigned to catch some monsters.”

“Monster?! caught him? ”

"What is it that makes you so surprised?"

Diana told me about her experience catching monsters. Without a proper answer, I just opened my mouth in shock and listened to the story.

Diana had truly become an adult.

Of course, I also tried to defeat the monster a thousand years ago, but I can't imagine Diana catching that monster.

Besides, the original story came to my mind. The slender woman, who had fallen in love with Richard's ruse and was often swayed, had grown into a powerful knight.

After a while, we arrived at the Camellia orphanage.

The atmosphere outside was rather gloomy as there were knights guarding the place in case Richard would show up.

But when I went inside, I heard the children's cheerful laughter.

“Facilities are pretty good.”

"I know?"

Diana looked around the orphanage and was amazed.

I was surprised too. I heard it was good, but it was beyond my expectations.

“He tried hard to the orphanage. I didn't expect him to do such a thing. To be honest, I still can't believe.”.

Michelle, who guided us to the orphanage, looked pitiful.

He and everyone in the orphanage seemed to respect and follow Richard Cassil.

It is unclear how Richard built the Camellia orphanage, but it is true that he has operated it brilliantly.

After all, Richard was a capable man.

He'd be awesome if he didn't use dirty tricks.

If he continued to run an orphanage like this, he would be respected by many people.

But he ended up destroying his reputation with his own hands.

As I looked around the orphanage with mixed feelings, I suddenly heard someone shouting.

“Roum dirty! Get out of here!”

A boy, who looked to be about thirteen years old, whipped a little girl.

The black-haired girl was younger than him, and looked to be around six years old.

“Not all Rom bad.”

The girl looked frightened, but she did not feel intimidated and spoke confidently.

“Roum everything is bad. Richard, he's a killer, too. You're all criminals!”

"No."

"Fright! Or why do the knights look after you? All of you, Roum is a dirty pest! I have to get rid of you all!”

"It's not like that!"

"How dare you yell at someone when you're just a Roum!"

When the girl shouted, the boy raised his hand.

I was shocked, as Diana ran to the child in anger. I followed quickly from behind as well.

"Stop now!"

"Damn!"

The boy swore, pushed the girl hard, and ran into the building.

"Hi! Stop there!"

Diana ran after the boy. The sudden situation left Michelle shocked and confused.

“Tom, you! Your Majesty, I'm sorry. ”

"No, son, are you okay?"

I checked the girl's condition first. Fortunately, there were no injuries.

Even though he was fine, his heart must have been hurt.

"It's okay.you didn't do anything wrong.you don't have to bear it. ”

“Hiks, hiks..”.

As soon as the boy was in my arms, his tears flowed.

Then I heard a voice from behind.

“Why should I apologize? What a mistake I made!"

"What's? Say it!"

Diana drags a boy named Tom, who pushes the girl here.

However, there was no sign of regret to the boy.

"Did I say something wrong? Roum is a pest! They are diseases that carry tancinol after being abandoned by the goddess! Remove the dirty Roum from the ground right now.. agh!”.

Tom shouted but Diana did not scold him.

Of course, Diana was determined to scold Tom, but before that, a small stone flew to her forehead.

I was shocked and looked at where the stone came from.

There stood a boy with the same black hair as the little girl.

“Karuo!”

A karuo? Is that the kid Chelsea talked about?

He said he was a child who fought without retreating until the end when there was a quarrel between the other children and Roum at the orphanage.

Karuo approached us while pulling the girl's arm.

"Shulia, let's go!"

"Yes." Yeah."

The girl's name was 'Shulia'

Karuo hugged her tightly and glared at me as if he was protecting her.

He thinks I hurt him.

***

After the situation calmed down somewhat, Michelle led us to the reception room of the orphanage.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for the incident."

He lowered his head and apologized.

"It's okay. More than that, it seems like the conflict between children is very deep.”.

Michelle sighed.

“Not always like this. The kids are all on good terms. Unlike other places, there was no discrimination against Roum in this orphanage. But the mood started to change when Tom came in.”

The Camellia Orphanage is an orphanage only less than five years old, and most of the original children are young.

Tom is 11 years old, one of the oldest kids here, and he's huge compared to kids his age.

If such a child led the atmosphere, the other children would easily drift away.

"Did that kid antagonize Roum from the start?"

"Yes, his parents seemed to have died from tancinol."

"Is that really tansinol?"

Many people mistake the flu, pneumonia or other illnesses as tancinol, as with a recent case of scurvy.

The pastors of the church could not diagnose it correctly and it was almost impossible for ordinary people to distinguish tancinol.

“I don't know, but Tom believes so. Roum spreads the disease and kills his parents. So whenever she gets into trouble, I scold her and persuade her, but she doesn't listen at all.”

Michelle is having a hard time because of this.

“Tom used to annoy the Roum family every day, and the other kids followed quickly. Roum's children were very hurt. Karuo is a very gentle and kind boy, but he becomes much tougher when fighting with Tom.”

"Why didn't you send her to another orphanage?"

Diana, who was quietly listening to the story, said. I also agree with his opinion.

Tom considers Roums an enemy.

No matter how much we teach and persuade him, he will remain stubborn.

It would be better for everyone if he sent Tom to another orphanage without Roums.

Among the private orphanages in the capital, the Camellia orphanage was the only one to receive the Roums.

It would not be difficult to find a place for him to move.

“That's what I really think. At this rate, he would only hurt everyone. But the owner is against it. ”

"Richard Cassil?"

“Yes, she cares a lot about Roum's children, but strangely, she doesn't really care about Tom's problem.I think she has affection for him because he took her. ”

"He brought that Tom here himself?"

"Yes." Yeah."

He brought a child with a grudge against Roum himself?

Tom even antagonizes Richard, as well as his original children. Why would he keep such a child around him?

Richard never forgave anyone who ignored him or showed hostility.

A child cannot be an exception.

"Maybe he wants to see a child like Tom understand Roum and reconcile with each other."

No. gabe. I'm sure it's not true.

Richard is not that kind of person. There must be another reason.
