I Became Crown Prince's Wife
Into the Light we Dream of (4)

Phillip must have given the Kensway family the power to make tancinol.

Phillip wanted to be noted as the perfect first emperor. So he's crazy about erasing his mistakes.

He may be worried, If tancinol disappeared after he died, people would suspect him.

He must be nervous to know that he's causing tancinol.

He also considered that it would be profitable to continue to make Roum a public enemy to cover up his crimes.

Therefore, he made a device that could cause tancinol, and handed it to Logan Kensway, his only trusted servant.

The Kensway family periodically causes tancinol as Phillip ordered. They do it every time they face a crisis.

This is why the Kensways were able to dominate the church for a thousand years.

they dominated the temple for a thousand years.

And if this hypothesis is true….

“We're in trouble!”

"What's the problem? What the hell's going on?

"Howard might cause an outbreak of tancinol!"

The Kensway family reversed the situation by using tancinol whenever they were in crisis.

So I'm sure they'll use the same way this time.

***

After hearing what Ancia said, Blake headed straight to the dungeon where Howard was being held.

In prison, Tenstheon and Collin interrogate Howard.

Howard came to the palace alone, but he remained silent.

Blake walked towards Howard without greeting Tenstheon.

"Say, are you thinking of making another tancinol outbreak?"

“……”

At that moment, Howard's lifeless eyes shone. Blake felt something strange.

He was not surprised because his trick was discovered. He looks rather happy.

Suddenly,

"What are you doing!"

“Your Majesty, stop. I'd really die if I kept this up.”

As Blake grabbed his collar, Collin came and tried to separate them.

“What do you mean by tancinol?

Tensteon wondered what Blake meant. But Blake kept an eye on Howard without saying a word.

Something is wrong. But what is it?

At that moment, he felt a strange mana flowing from Howard's body.

It was not where the light, or black magic, but something else…

No way, this…!

“Tancinol made by rotating mana light. The Kensway family must have the power to cause tancinol.”

blake shouted, recalling what Ancia said earlier.

“This tansinol! Get out of here, everybody!

At that moment the mana that fell asleep on Howard's body, exploded instantly, and blood spilled from his mouth.

“Richard is Phillip..”.

Howard said something a few minutes before his death.

It was the first and last thing he said since he was imprisoned.

He had no energy left as Howard Kensway slowly closed his eyes.

***

I rushed to the prison when I heard that Howard was dead.

I shivered as I entered the prison where Howard was locked up. Where the bent light filled the prison.

This is what causes tancinol. The disease that destroyed the Zelcan Empire a thousand years ago has spread again.

"Ancia, what are you doing here?"

Blake screamed in surprise as soon as he saw me. His voice was full of worry.

“Don't worry, I'm fine. More than that, it really is tancinol.”

Where the twisted light flowed out of Howard's body.

If it was transferred from someone else, or if the mana energy was naturally twisted, he could not pour out such a powerful mana.

As I expected, he deliberately made tancinol using a tool.

"It's obviously tancinol."

"Yes." Yeah."

I stared at Howard's body, which was filled with spots, and bit my lips tightly.

He lowered his guard.

Since they were selfish people who sacrificed innocent lives for the prosperity of their families, they thought they would avoid it even if they spread tancinol.

He never dreamed that he would spread tancinol in the imperial palace until he himself became a scapegoat.

"Did he die suddenly?"

"Yes. Something was going on in his body and then he suddenly exploded.”

That's why he couldn't say anything.

“Blake.”

I took his hand. There was only pure light mana in his body, and no tancinol.

I knew she wasn't infected, but I was still worried so I checked it myself.

"There's nothing you need to worry about."

Blake stroked my hair gently.

"Yes .. but where are the others?"

There's only Howard and Blake in jail now.

"Your Majesty and Collin are on top."

"Your Majesty is here too?"

"Yes, the knights are guarding outside, there are only the three of us and Howard inside."

"Also Howard said something strange before he died."

"What's that?"

"Richard is Phillip."

"Richard is Philip?"

I was surprised for a moment. How did Howard know that? Did Richard get his memory back?

If Richard regains Phillip's memory, this situation can also be explained.

As she recalled her past life, she must have also remembered that she had given the Kensway family 'a magic tool that can cause tancinol.'”

After the device is found, Howard is given tancinol and transforms himself into a target of the imperial palace.

As he did a thousand years ago, he planned to spread tancinol to the imperial palace to become an emperor.

"I'm going to see you now."

***

"Dad!"

When Blake and I went inside, Tenstheon and Collin in the room looked at us.

“Ancia, it's dangerous. Why did you come all the way here?”

"I'm doing fine. So give me your hand first.”

shouts urgent.

There are many things to explain, including the secrets of tancinol, the Kensway family, and Richard, but first, Tenstheon's safety is paramount.

"So it's really tancinol ..."

"Yes…"

On the way up, I had a lot of thoughts.

What if Tensteon gets tancinol?

Then, just like the Zelcan Empire, the Asteris Empire would be in a huge mess.

My heart was beating hard because I was afraid of losing my family.

I held Tenstheon's hand and checked his condition.

In order not to miss every detail, I focused my mind and examined every inch of his body in detail.

A thousand years ago, not until tancinol symptoms appeared did treatment begin. I'm stuck by Phillip until I can't do anything about it.

But not this time. Knowing the cause of the disease, it is easy to check it. I grinned as I let go of Tenstheon's hand.

"That's a relief. Nothing's wrong."

There was no tancinol anywhere in his body.

"I understand."

"I'm very happy. Your Excellency.”

Unlike the quiet Tenstheon, Collin was very happy.

"That's a relief."

Blake also spoke frankly, but his eyes were filled with relief.

"Now give me your hand, Sir Collin."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

I gritted my teeth as I held her hand.

Where the twisted light felt on Collin's body.

That's tansinol.

***

Richard must be after Tenstheon and Blake. However, Collin was the one who got tancinol.

About an hour later, tancinol symptoms began to appear.

After a series of coughs, a high fever will come, and he will lose consciousness.

When Howard dies, Blake quickly takes action, sending the knights and guards out and putting them in one place.

Thanks to this, the disease did not spread to anyone but Collin.

I advised Tenstheon to return to the Philion Palace, but he could barely take a step even after he got out of prison.

"Is Collin really infected with tancinol?"

Tenstheon asked with a worried look.

Looking at his face, I wanted to say no. I want to say that he just caught a cold.

But I can't do that.

"Yes…"

Tenstheon lowered his head, and pressed down on his forehead. Seeing him despair, I don't know how to comfort him.

"Don't worry. Nothing will happen to him, I will make sure to treat him.”

“I forced him to come along, but I made him suffer like this. I beg you, please help him, Ancia.”.

He held my hand tightly.

"Yes. Trust me."

I won't lose anyone this time.

I have no intention of losing my precious people to Richard's plan and tancinol this time.

***

If Richard intended to repeat the history of destroying the empire, he would definitely be eyeing the imperial family.

He might have planned something else besides Howard.

I looked at every inch of the palace, when Blake questioned Howard's servants in prison.

“As soon as they heard that Howard was dead, they started talking. According to them, Howard said that the goddess will soon bring doom.”

"So he intended to use it from the beginning."

Howard will spread rumors about me and start a plague.

However, it was taken by Richard and he was eventually taken advantage of.

He lost his life miserably, but there was not the slightest bit of sympathy for him.

“Yes, the imperial knights head to the Kensway family. I told Marron, so we'll investigate inside the church. ”

If it were revealed that the Kensway family had been causing tancinol for a thousand years, there would be a huge reaction.

It is clear that the Kensway family, as well as the church, will lose strength.
