I Became Crown Prince's Wife
Side Story:Blake becomes smaller (3)

“Not much, just him being grumpy.”

Tenstheon tried to hide the truth with better words. It seems obvious that Blake and Eunhan had a fight last night, but I don't know the exact reason.

“I don't know the details. But it's not something to worry about.”

Tenstheon looked at Blake, and assured me.

"But what happened? What's with this blanket?”

“Ah, the.”.

The original outfit he was wearing was too big for Blake right now. In addition to clothes that do not fit, it is also dangerous because the pants and arms are too long and can fall.

I'm trying to take off her clothes for now.

“No! I won't ignore it!” (No! I'm not taking it off!)

“You should! That's dangerous!"

"It's not!"

"That's dangerous! What if you fall!"

“Um..”

Blake doesn't know what else to say.

I took off Blake's clothes and wrapped her body in a large blanket.

Now there are no 4/5 year olds in the palace, and of course it is difficult to get clothes right away.

However, if we leave it like that in the winter, he will catch a cold, so I cover him with a blanket for now.

I thought it was a reasonable decision, but Blake's lips, wrapped in a blanket like a kimbap, popped out.

That's very funny. He'd be even more upset if I told Blake this.

"Haha, there's a reason for this."

I laughed awkwardly. Tenstheon did not ask again.

Tenstheon hurriedly tried to contact Chang through the necklace Eunhan gave him. And he told us the result.

"He'll be back to normal in about a month."

“One month?!”

Blake shouted in astonishment.

“If you want to come back a little early, apologize. I had a direct conversation with Baekhan, and he was very stubborn.”

“I won't apologize! I won't do anything wrong!” (I won't apologize! I didn't do anything wrong!)

Blake puffed his cheeks as he vented his anger.

“……”

Tenstheon.

He didn't protest against Baekhan making Blake like this. I don't agree with Blake either.

Judging from Tenstheon's reaction, it seemed like Blake made a mistake first.

"I'm sorry."

“No.”

Blake spoke firmly. Then his chubby cheeks twitched.

Ah, that's so sweet.

I pressed his cheek and forgot the seriousness of the situation.

At first, I was worried if something was wrong with her body, but since she said there was no problem at all and she would be back in a month, I could enjoy Blake's cute appearance.

"Then will you stay like this?"

“I won't apologize. I won't do anything wrong.” (I won't apologize. I didn't do anything wrong.)

Blake became very childish.

The spell even affected his judgment as he acted like a child.

Maybe that's why he's so stubborn.

However, it was only funny when he solemnly stated it with his face sticking out of the blanket.

"Are you going to be okay like this for a month?"

“I won't apologize!” (I won't apologize!)

"I understand. If you're okay, be like that. ”

Tenstheon did not force her to apologize and respect Blake's wishes.

After that he said,

“Then, prepare to live like that for a month.”

"K, you want me to live like this?"

Blake opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"You said you wouldn't apologize."

“I won't apologize!”

“Then we can't do anything.”

Tenstheon picked up Blake who was sitting on the sofa.

If he asks, Eunhan will do anything. He will persuade Baekhan to bring Blake back to his original condition.

But Tenstheon did not seem to intend to do so.

"I have to dress you up now."

"Down!"

Blake struggled inside the blanket. Tenstheon, however, had been watching Blake for a long time.

Tenstheon's mouth twitched slightly. He must have thought Blake was funny.

***

Blake's bedroom was filled with children's clothing. The numbers are so large that I think they probably brought everything from many stores.

No, it's worth more than a month! What are your clothes this summer? Where did they get all these clothes?

I was impressed, but Blake was really pouting.

"Blake, what do you want to wear?"

Then Blake shook his head with a grim face.

"No, it's all just for babies." (No, it's all for babies).”

Her clothes are all cute and shiny.

But…

“Blake you are now a baby.”

"What…?"

He opened his eyes wide and looked at me.

No, is this supposed to be a big surprise?

“I'm not a baby! It's really getting great!” (I'm not a baby! It's just that I'm getting smaller!)

“Yeah, just got smawwer?”

As I imitated his words, Blake's eyes were filled with tears.

That is what is meant by being regulated by the body. He became whiny again like when he was a child.

“Don't imitate me.”

It's funny to see him talking to a body as small as a pea. I held my laughter and hugged her tightly.

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to copy you."

I was going to calm him down, but I ended up talking like a Kindergarten teacher without even realizing it. Blake was angry, and stuck out his lips.

"Blake, are you angry?"

"No."

I think he's upset.

“How about your clothes? Do you want me to pick one for you?"

“...I will choose it myself!”

Blake said strongly and picked up the socks right in front of him.

She chose simple white socks over fancy jewelry and frill-decorated clothes.

But…

“Ugh!”

Wearing socks is too heavy for Blake right now.

Blake eventually fell without putting his foot into the hole in his little sock.

"Are you okay?"

Her bed was soft, but I checked her condition because she fell. However, Blake did not raise his head.

“Blake, what's up? Does that hurt?"

ask me while smiling. He might be injured because his body became smaller.

"Tell me. Does it hurt so much?”

When I asked again, Blake spoke in a small voice.

“This is Embarrassing.”.

'Umph-o.'

I closed my mouth and desperately held my laughter.

Blake ears are red like a ripe red beet. If I laughed here, she might actually cry.

“It's okay. It's not embarrassing. That's because the bed is so soft that it's hard to balance.”

“Ya, that's right. I'll wear it on the floor.”

Blake got up and shouted confidently. Unfortunately, the marble floor was too dangerous for Blake at this time.

I lifted Blake back up and placed him in the middle of the bed, while he tried to get off the bed with his short legs.

“Ah, why?!”

He shouted in protest.

Did he really ask me because he really didn't know why?

But if I say, 'It's dangerous to wear socks on the marble floor' he'll complain.

Of course, I wanted to see her protest because it would be funny, but since it's winter, dressing up is the most important thing.

"I'll dress you up."

“T, no!”

Blake blushed again and shouted.

"Then should I ask someone else to do it?"

“……”

As if it was worse to borrow someone else's hand, Blake shut his mouth tightly.

I picked up the white shirt I liked the first time I saw it.

"Blake, you can button it yourself."

"Yes!"

He smiled widely and nodded. I also stroked her soft and smiling hair.

***

"Geez!"

“Set!”

"Wow!"

As Blake got dressed and went outside, Melissa, Hans, Edon, and Terry, who were waiting outside, all fell silent, and each uttered a brief exclamation.

I fully understand their reaction. When I first saw Blake getting smaller, I fell silent because she was so cute. Now, she looked like a puppet, not a human in her pretty clothes.

I told everyone that he became smaller because I made a mistake while practicing magic. I explained that there was no problem and that it would be back in a month, so everyone looked at Blake, who became smaller with sparkling eyes.

However, the expression of the person adored by everyone frowned.

It must have been very surprised not to be able to button his shirt. She tried hard, but her tiny fingers were not enough to do the complicated task of buttoning a shirt.

He tried several times but kept failing, and in the end I helped him.

Blake continued fiddling with his buttons as if he still had regrets left.

I hugged Blake.

“Uwaa!”

"Blake we're so cute, aren't we?"

"Yes, she's so sweet."

“Totally sweet.”

Edon nodded furiously, and Terry could not take his eyes off Blake. Hans smiled gently.

“How can he be so sweet? It reminds me of the past.”

Melissa's eyes are wet. After he said that, everyone's expression became sad.

Blake was cursed at the age of five. Little Blake, as they remember, was always in pain.

I'm glad Blake grew up amazing and healthy. Tenstheon must have felt the same way.

But, I can't believe this little body handled such pain back then. He was very small and young.

I already knew it, but it was heartbreaking to see little Blake in person.

"Down me!"

I hugged Blake who was fighting harder.

I'll only have fun with him for a month.
