I Became Crown Prince's Wife
Into the Light we Dream of (13)

“To change souls, you need a suitable price. Two people who would change their souls had to stand on a magic circle, sacrificing a corpse and a child who had died for less than an hour.

“It's a bit complicated.”

"What's that complicated?"

“And cruel.”

"really. So, never use it.”

“I don't want to use it.I'm just curious."

Serphania looked at Phillip.

“Please promise me.”

"Yes, I promise."

Phillip doesn't use magic. But, it was not because of his promise with Ser. He forgot about such a promise when he said it.

He suffered from spreading tancinol or swapping his body for Rakshul to the end.

The last one is much easier than the first.

When he became Rakshul, Laontel and the empire would naturally be in his hands.

However, Phillip eventually chose to spread tancinol.

He wants to be next to Laontel as Phillip.

But Laontel's heart could not be swayed even if he became an emperor with the power of a goddess and established a new kingdom.

Laontel was reborn as Ancia and he chose the crown prince again this time.

Even if he became a monstrous monster hated by everyone, his mind did not change.

After a thousand years, Richard could admit it.

'I could never win Ancia's heart.'

Ancia says she still hates Richard after thousands of years.

For Ancia, there was only Blake in her heart. Then there's only one way.

"I can be Blake."

Richard decided to use a way he didn't do a thousand years ago.

He'll spread tancinol and occupy Blake's body.

After becoming the crown prince, he would treat tancinol to the respect of everyone.

Ancia would also admire his abilities. If he took care of Tenstheon, he would recognize him as his son.

It was not his body, but he would be recognized by Tenstheon and Ancia because of his abilities. She could be Ancia's lover and have a loving family.

Richard's plan went well.

Someone will be sacrificed. Karan and Karuo are siblings with the same blood, so they are more valuable as offerings.

So he accidentally made a plague in Camellia's orphanage.

Shulia is a child with good intuition. He tries to avoid Richard and tells Karuo what kind of person he is.

It kept bothering him, and there was no point in letting him stay alive.

It was also good to test Karan's loyalty.

Criticism of tancinol would be given to Richard and Roums, but that doesn't matter.

He's not going to be Richard anymore. If this works, Blake will be Richard.

Therefore, it was none of his business if they spoke ill of Richard and the Roums family. That's kind of nice.

Moreover, all the responsibilities that would be given to the imperial palace would be taken care of, so there was nothing bad.

But Ancia found a cure for tancinol. That doesn't matter.

It's a pity that he missed the opportunity to become a hero, but Richard's real plan still exists.

Richard uses Ancia to lure Blake.

After changing each other's bodies through magic, he plans to eliminate Blake, who becomes Richard.

Blake has mana, and Richard knows how to use it. If Blake's body and soul were combined, no one would match him.

After which, he could wake up Ancia who lost consciousness due to mana. So, the only thing he knows is that Blake saved his life after he defeated Richard.

Only happy days will soon be before him. She can live as Blake, the husband of Ancia and the Crown Prince of the Empire.

Richard did his plan. And slowly look at Blake's handsome and pretty face.

It was a body that would soon be his.

Although it was too handsome and beautiful, it wasn't bad to think of it as the face that Ancia liked.

"I'll be you and get everything I want."

***

I opened my eyes after feeling the strong mana wave. There was a strange wave on the ground, different from the one in the room.

I still feel a strong mana inside my body. My head ached and my intestines twisted, but now was not the time to think about my pain.

Blake and Richard are seen outside the door.

Blake's hands were filled with the same handcuffs as mine, and he couldn't even lift himself up because of the magic circle. Richard grabbed Blake's chin and said,

"I'll be you and get everything I want."

Can't be…!

He's gonna swap his body for Blake.

That's why it's different than a thousand years ago.

Tancinol just to confuse everyone. Maybe he'll take Blake's body and then stop tancinol.

Ser had once exchanged his body with me. Did he tell Richard how to do it?

Above the large magic circle that covered the floor was not only Blake, but also Karuo and Karan.

Does he want to sacrifice them? He offered up someone and the child who followed him, only to exchange his body for Blake?

No, I have to stop him.

But it is difficult to lift a finger because of which. Even my voice did not come out.

No, I have to protect Blake. I can't lose him here.

While I tried to escape with all my might, Richard walked leisurely over the magic-circle in the middle.

There are four people in the big magic circle . No ! 'No! Nah! I have to stop him!'

But it's too late. The spell came out of Richard's mouth.

It must be the language of the goddess, not the word of man. That was the language Ser taught me.

My eyes opened wide as soon as I heard it.

When he finished his spell, light started flowing from the magic circle. Richard smiled, it was the winning smile that got everything.

At that moment, the calm light became powerful as flames emerged from the magic circle and swallowed Richard.

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

Richard shouted in flames.

At the same time, the barrier in the room where I was trapped was also broken.

Suddenly, the mana wave disappeared, and which light stone filled the room was—

crack and collapse.

The cracked mana stone hanging on the ceiling broke apart and fell on his head.

Is this the end of how he's going to die?

As I closed my eyes tightly, a huge light wrapped around my body.

“Ancia!”

Blake rushed over and hugged me.

As soon as Richard got caught in the flames, he took off my handcuffs and put a protective spell on me.

“Ancia, are you okay? Are you all right?"

"Yes I'm fine."

Blake checked my condition and removed the restraints. He quickly escaped from the room while carrying me.

As soon as we came out, the mana light stone, which had been broken, collapsed completely due to the protective shield.

When I came out, I felt the heat.

The flames surrounding Richard grew stronger, as did his screams.

“Ahhh! Ah!!”

I asked Blake to put me down, but he just looked at Richard while holding me.

"What's going on?"

“Richard Cassil recites mantra to exchange bodies.”

"Body exchange?"

"No. .. It's a spell to sacrifice his life to save the dead."

I once asked Ser's magic to save the dead in the past.

“To save someone who is going to die comes at a great price.you have to give your life to save others. Do you still want to know?"

"Yes, tell me."

Ser warned me about the danger of saving the dead.

But I nodded in pure curiosity as a witch.

Ser taught me how to draw magic circles. But I shook my head as he gave me a magic spell.

“As expected, I can't. This magic is too dangerous. Laon is so good that you will use this magic when your loved ones die.I don't want to lose a good friend.”

In the end, Ser did not cast a spell until the end.

And he's right.

When Rakshul died, I regretted it again and again.

I wanted to save her so I could give up my life.

However, I can't use that spell because I don't know the last part of that spell.

I can tell by now when Richard recited the spell.

It was a spell to revive one's life and save the dead.

He repeated it continuously at Rakshul's funeral. I shouldn't have guessed it wrong.

“Then what does this circle and sacrifice mean?”

Four circles are drawn in large circles, and seem to be intricately intertwined.

After learning it from Ser, I could see the truth from the magic circle at once.

“The rest is a hoax. Only two circles connected.”

I pointed to a circle with Richard and Karan. There are only two people needed to exchange lives.

Blake and Karuo's circle was drawn, but it was just a trick that didn't play any role.
