I Became Crown Prince's Wife
A cute little brother bag.3
“Sa-, your age. What are you talking about? Whoa, it's snowing. The whole place is white now!”
I ran from place to place and participated in a snowball fight. It was nice to have a snowball fight after a long time, but other than that, my hands froze.
That's why I don't want to do a snowball match …
***
"Diana, let's take a shower."
Everyone is falling apart because of the snowball fight. Especially Diana, who had fallen down several times and rolled around on the snow field, making her entire body wet. I took her to my room.
"Oh no! I can clean it when I get home.”
Diana was embarrassed and hurriedly shifted the subject.Why was she so shocked when I just asked her to take a bath?
“You will catch wind.The train is slippery due to snow, so it will not be able to go fast.”
"Yes, right! I am strong and I will not catch a cold! I'm more worried about you.”
My eyes narrowed themselves. There's something suspicious about him.
Diana's cheeks were slightly swollen, and she kept falling during the snowball fight.
"Have your leg been hurt?"
"No!"
His legs did hurt, but he firmly denied it.
"Tell me the truth."
“It really doesn't hurt!”
"Diana, if you keep lying like that, I'll be mad."
"Sister…"
Diana was unable to speak properly and her lips trembled. Soon after, she shed tears and she told him everything that had happened.
For the past two years, Count Bellacian had forced Diana to spy on the Crown Prince's palace, and she rebelled yesterday.
Listening to Diana's words, I fell silent.
Gilbert Bellacian cares about Diana.I think for Diana, she's very sincere.
Diana loved her father too.
In the original story, she did not hate her father for making her older sister die, but she suffered alone.
When Richard gambles with Count Bellacian as a hostage, he chooses his father and leaves Blake.
I don't want young Diana to experience something like that.
In those two years, I used to dream of Ancia, and find out how she got hurt. I can't forgive Count Bellacian, but I don't want to impose this kind of thing on Diana.
I didn't expect him to make young Diana a spy.
“Why didn't you tell me?you should have told me if that happened. ”
“I'm afraid you hate me.I'm afraid. What if my brother says he doesn't want to see me again?”
I actually saw Diana, who was covered in tears.
“Why I don't want to see you.you didn't do anything wrong. ”
Diana never followed Count Bellacian's orders.
He never gave his opinion when I chose a servant. How much pressure did Diana feel over the two years?
“Can I come here again?”
“My brother is always scolded by dad. But I was almost never beaten though ...You don't have to worry about me. ”
"I'm afraid you hate me!Don't you hate me?!"
Diana held back her tears and asked cautiously.
I thought she was just an innocent tomboy girl, but did she have such thoughts inside?
I like Diana. But now Diana was asking her brother, not me.
Knowing that I looked him directly in the eye, remembering the story from the original novel.
“...I don't hate you.”
I paused to see if he was uncomfortable with my answer.
Immediately, he wiped his tears and smiled.
"…Yes, thank you."
***
I put Diana to bed at the Crown Prince's palace.
She wanted to enter the knight academy but hesitated due to the opposition from Count Bellacian.I wanted Diana to go to the academy. However, since the Knight Academy usually enrolls children between the ages of 10 and 12, there was still time. Instead of pushing my mind, I thought of waiting for a while until Diana made up her mind.
I looked at Diana's calf.I applied the ointment, but the wound still remained.
I tried applying the ointment again when I heard the knocking sound.
“Ancia.”
That's Blake's voice.
"Lake in."
He opened the door and went inside.
"Is Diana asleep?"
"Yes. He just fell asleep. Your Majesty, I think I should sleep with Diana tonight.”
Ever since I came to this world, I've been sleeping with Blake. But I want to protect Diana by being by her side as her older sister today.
“Ya, okay. Don't worry about me.”
"It wasn't Ancia's fault."
“….”
He spoke as if he had read my mind.
“Do not blame yourself.”
“Yes, I won't blame myself.”
The little boy's words were a powerful consolation. I clasped his hand tightly.
***
When Diana did not return home, Gilbert had a rather bad premonition.
Did Diana betray her own father? She did not raise Diana to be an ungrateful child. However, it was possible that he made a foolish mistake when he thought of Diana, who had rebelled lately.
Gilbert, unable to contain his anxiety, he went straight to the Crown Prince's palace.
“You can't enter.”
But he could not enter the palace and was stopped by the bodyguards.
"I am the father of the Crown Princess."
Gilbert showed displeasure, but Hans insisted.
"I was ordered by His Highness the Crown Prince not to let Count Bellacian in."
"Crown Prince?"
Not Ancia, but the Crown Prince stopped me? A monster cursed by a goddess?
Gilbert doesn't think of Blake as a human being. He was a monster whose soul had blackened until the goddess cursed him. He'll be more like a monster than a human.
"Call him here."
When Gilbert did not call Blake 'Your Majesty,' and said it in a mocking tone, Hans and Edon's faces hardened. But Gilbert didn't mind.
It was not his business whether the guards were angry or not. Instead, he was angry at the presumptuous attitude of those who told him what to do.
“I came to pick up my son. Move aside."
Hans and Edon, who heard about Count Bellacian's cruelty, were amazed by his brash attitude.
"That's impossible."
“I am the Emperor. Move over!"
Gilbert threatened to push Hans over the shoulder, but Edon stopped him.
"I will not tolerate rudeness anymore."
"What's? How dare you touch this body when you are just a commoner!”
After all, he was the father of the Crown Princess and the head of the Bellacian family. Edon was only a knight, and their status differed greatly. Edon hesitated for a moment and heard Blake's voice from behind.
"What's with this commotion?"
"Count Bellacian insisted on entering the Amorian palace."
"What's?She's so stubborn?”
Gilbert was angry at Hans' choice of arrogant words. But as soon as he looked at Blake, he gasped and retreated.
"Take Count Bellacian to the greenhouse."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
***
There are only two people left, Gilbert and Blake in the greenhouse.
Although she is his daughter-in-law, it is only during the wedding that he actually meets Blake. At that moment, he thought he was just a pitiful little boy. But the crown prince he met after two years had something changed in him.
The cold energy emanating from the little boy pierced through Gilbert's body and gave him goosebumps all over.
At a certain point, his body trembled in fear.
"I'm going home with Diana."
"Diana is asleep."
“Then tomorrow morning..”
“You can't take him. Diana will stay at Crown Prince's Palace from now on.”
The Crown Prince cut his words coldly. Gilbert was convinced that his premonition was right.
Diana betrays her father, and she tells Ancia everything.
"Your Majesty, have you heard any nonsense from my daughter?"
"Omong empty? It doesn't sound like that to me.”
He really told everyone he had done. Just in case, she did not tell Diana about the secret agreement between Duke Cassil and him.
He simply said, “If you steal information from the Crown Prince's palace, good things will happen to us.”
But he had no idea that Diana would stab him this way.
She raised him all along!
The situation would have been different had he been on Ancia's side.
Before marrying the Crown Prince, Ancia wanted his affection. If he gave her a little affection at that time, she would be the one who was always remembered in her heart and she would devote herself to her father and family.
But Diana, instead of trying to repay her kindness and get married in a good place, she puts her father in danger with her words!
Gilbert clenched his palms, restraining his anger.
"Don't mind what he's saying."
"I know the Count cares a lot about Diana."
