I Became Crown Prince's Wife
Side Story:Blake becomes smaller (11)

'This is the worst thing ever. This must be a dream.'

Blake stared blankly at the emperor's bed. He doesn't believe in this situation right now.

Is he sure he wants to sleep with her? Not likely.

But Tenstheon's words shattered Blake's hopes.

"What are you doing? Let's sleep.”

He really wanted to sleep with her. Blake looked at Tenstheon's eyes.

She happened to be in her arms all day today, but she didn't want to sleep together because she was an adult.

"I, I can sweep it myself!" (Me, I can sleep alone!)

"No, it's dangerous."

“It's harmless!”

“I don't know where you're going anymore.”

“I won't go. I won't go out.” (I'm not going. I'm not going out)

"No."

“Huang!”

Tenstheon climbed onto the bed with Blake wriggling in his hand.

“T, no!”

Blake, who was struggling to escape from his embrace, saw the wound on Tenstheon's wrist.

“Your admiration?” (Are you hurt?)

“Ah, it's okay.”

Tenstheon hugged Blake and lowered his sleeves again. It was the wound he got when he moved in a hurry to find Blake.

Tenstheon did not speak directly, but Blake could guess why he was injured.

"I'll treat you." (I'll treat you.)

Blake took his hand to the wound. Then the scar on the wrist disappeared with light.

"Thank you."

"Nwo, it's okay." (No. It'sit's nothing.)

Blake lowered his head and tried to leave. But Tenstheon lay on the bed while hugging him tightly.

“Hai.”

Blake did not give up after he got up and found a way to get down.

Then he could hear Tenstheon, he said,

"I love you."

“……”

Tenstheon conveyed his earnestness that he had not done all this time.

"I should have protected you, I'm sorry."

Blake looked at Tenstheon without saying a word. After a short silence, he shook his head.

"No, no matter what I say during the day." (No, don't mind what I said earlier.)

To be honest, during those days, he missed Tenstheon and blamed his father for not seeing him

But now he knows.

Originally, the heir to the curse had to be locked up on the southern island, but Tenstheon instead placed him in a separate palace.

Until finally, Tenstheon made an incredible effort. She was protested by many, but she held her son to the end, pretending to be indifferent. And he's not completely ignored.

Those who were so kind-hearted that not to underestimate the heir to the curse were chosen and sent to the Amoria Palace, Eunhan was also asked to look after Blake earlier.

Above all, he could marry Ancia thanks to Tenstheon.

“I'm worried about saying something very hwash. That was not my intention.” (I'm sorry for saying something so rude. That wasn't my intention.)

In the afternoon, he was so angry that his childish thoughts came out.

As his body became smaller, his mind also seemed to become more childish.

“No, it's my fault. I want to hug you like this. I should have hugged you.”.

Tenstheon's face was full of regret.

The two have been separated for too long. Too much time has passed, with no chance to apologize and pass the time.

"Blake, can you call me 'Daddy' just once?"

He looked so scared and carefully spoke to her, unlike an emperor who led an empire.

Blake glanced at Tenstheon.

'Dad.'

It was a word he had never said since he was cursed.

It was awkward to say it, not because he disliked Tenstheon or did not want to admit that he was his father.

Of course, it was true that he had a grudge when he was told to call him 'Your Majesty' rather than 'Father' before he was cursed.

Moreover, there was a sense of frustration as Tenstheon could not recognize the monster as a cursed child like him.

Even after he knew it wasn't true, he couldn't say 'father' like before.

Blake was so nervous that he cleared his throat. And he told Tenstheon,

“Fweather.”(Pater)

“……”

Blake was disappointed in himself.

He couldn't even pronounce the easy word 'father' correctly. It has been a long time since he said this …

He cleared his throat just in case he made a mistake, but it didn't work.

Blake's face flushed with embarrassment.

Tenstheon, however, hugged Blake with a happy expression, as if he did not care about her pronunciation.

“Thank you, Nak.”

He kissed Blake's soft cheeks.

She couldn't believe that she kissed her grown-up son!

Blake hated him, but when he saw Tenstheon smiling brightly, he could not say no.

And maybe because her body is getting smaller, she doesn't hate her father's kisses like when she was younger.

Blake smiled and said once more.

“Fweather.”(Pater)

Again, he was disappointed in himself.

***

When I heard the news about Blake, I rushed back to the villa.

They lose Blake, but they soon find him. I received a letter from Tenstheon that I didn't need to return immediately, but I couldn't rest at the hotel.

What the hell's going on?

How did they lose him? Are you sure she'll be okay? you didn't lie to convince me, did you?

On the way back, my heart felt like it was going to explode from nervousness.

"Your Majesty, are you back?"

Melissa was surprised to hear that I had returned.

"Where's Blake now?"

"He's in His Majesty's room."

I rushed to Tenstheon's room.

While walking down the hallway, Melissa told me the details.

Blake and Tenstheon are said to have destroyed the place. And they must have returned to the villa safely.

“Everyone is safe. Don't worry about it.”

I was relieved to hear Melissa say that, but the worry was not gone.

He said Blake went home with Tenstheon, was it the right choice to leave them alone?

Then she must have asked him to sleep with her tonight.

When I opened the door carefully, I saw Tenstheon and Blake sleeping on the bed.

Blake, who was asleep in Tenstheon's arms, looked very comfortable. There was also a peaceful smile around Tenstheon's mouth.

When I looked at the two, the corner of my mouth rose by itself.

I don't think I need to worry about anything.

I closed the door quietly and went out.

***

Some things happened even though I was only out for a day.

The next day, Blake called out to Tenstheon differently. There's just a little problem.

“Fwa, f, nono, fwa, sana.”

He wanted to call Tensteon 'father'. But it wasn't easy.

“Fweather!”(Pater)

He spoke one letter at a time and when he spoke quickly, Blake still couldn't do it.

“Hai.”

Blake who failed again this time pouted. Tenstheon smiled brightly at the sight of his son.

"That's right. It's enough now.”

"True Blake, you did a good job."

I agree with Tenstheon. Blake did not change his expression.

Tenstheon hugged Blake and placed her on his lap.

“T, no Anthia hewe!” (T, There's Ancia here!)

Blake's face flushed. However, that smile did not escape Tenstheon's mouth.

"Blake, if the word 'father' is too hard for you, what about dad?"

No, dad, are you greedy now? How many 'fathers' did you hear from Blake?

Oh God. He's fine. You did well, dad!

I clapped my hands in my heart.

But Blake was embarrassed.

“No, I don't want to. E, humiliate..” (No, I don't want to. E, embarrassing.)

Tenstheon smiled happily at Blake, whose face was heating up.

The tip of my mouth was also lifted.

“Blake, ah—“

When I gave her the pudding for dessert, Blake opened her mouth like a baby bird and ate it.

How can he be so cute when chewing?

“Dewicious!” (Lzat!)

“I'll also do it like Anthia!” (I'll do it like Ancia too!)

He came down from Tenstheon's lap and came to me.

I put Blake on the chair next to me. He took a spoonful with his small hand, then took a lemon jam and put it in the tea.

He started stirring the spoon very quickly.

After stirring all the jam, Blake shouted with a proud look,

"I'm driving as fast as Ancia!" (I stirred as fast as Ancia!)

“……”

I'm silent. But Tenstheon laughed out loud.

"It's like Ancia."

“Hehe, she's just as ugly as a baby.” (Hehe, she's as fast as a baby.)

"Absolutely. Ancia did it quickly.”

“……”

He's not acting like a kid, he's acting like a Korean!

I couldn't explain and shut up.

One problem arose since the relationship was restored. Whenever they had time, they made fun of me together.

I pouted and laughed out loud afterwards.

Actually, I can be teased.

I'm so happy that Blake and Tenstheon are naturally communicating with each other.
