I Became Crown Prince's Wife
A cute little brother bag.4

"Ha ha's. You must have heard false rumors from somewhere. If I care about her, I'll give you Diana to you instead. ”

No one wants a seat as the dreadful companion of the Crown Prince. Everyone in the Empire knew that Gilbert had given Ancia because she was a b*ass blinded by wealth, but she had the courage to tell such a lie.

“In addition, Diana has problems with her personality. She became very jealous because Ancia had been leading the society lately.”

Gilbert weighed the scales in his mind for two years.

Who's more valuable, Ancia or Diana? When Diana's marriage to the Cassil family went awry and she betrayed her father because she was so stubborn, the scales really tilted to one side.

He took this opportunity to conclude that he was going to leave Diana and mend his relationship with Ancia.

“Yesterday, she begged me to expel her brother because she wanted to become the Crown Princess. No matter how young a child was, he went too far this time. But he doesn't think of himself.”

"Is that right?"

Gilbert smiled inwardly at the Crown Prince, who was still listening to his words. He was a cursed monster, so Gilbert was scared for a while, but in the end he was just a child. A little persuasion will be enough to achieve his goal.

“Yes, I'm very worried because of his lies. It's all Diana's fault that I grew apart from Ancia. So, you don't need to listen to his words.”

Gilbert's fear of the Crown Prince had disappeared so he quickly raised his head arrogantly and said in an imperative tone. Then, Blake asked in an inconspicuous voice.

"Do you often scold my wife?"

Gilbert wants to say that she raised Ancia a thousand times better than Diana. But there's no one here who doesn't know that he's been persecuting Ancia.

Should he let Ancia become a liar as well? No, it'll backfire. Furthermore, Ancia could not be touched because the Emperor and also the Crown Prince trusted her.

“I taught her to be a good eldest daughter. It's all because I care about my son, but people who don't know the truth and will say that treat him badly. Ancia probably misunderstood me as well because she was young and listened to what the people around her had to say. But when he grows up, he will also know the good intentions of his parents.”

"Misunderstand me…"

“Yes, it was a misunderstanding.I wanted to take this opportunity to help me restore my relationship with my daughter. Sorry, but His Majesty only has a few more days.”

“……”

The nobles often discussed how much longer the prince would live and who would be the next prince if he died.

It was such a common topic that Gilbert used Blake's remaining lifespan as a topic of conversation.

If he had a conscience left, Gilbert wouldn't have said it to the little boy.

However, he did not even realize that he had made his tongue slip because he considered the prince a monster and not a human. He thought it was just an honest statement.

“If His Majesty is not around, who will support Ancia? If Ancia wants to continue enjoying the luxury she has now, the Bellacian family must gain strength. Gems are not important now.I want to remind Your Majesty if you love Ancia, You have to help her family.”

Gilbert said what he wanted to say. She tried to tell Ancia directly, but she refused to write a letter, so she couldn't.

“Furthermore, if he continues to treat his biological father like this, I fear he will be criticized. That would lower his social status.”

"You're disgusting."

Blake's voice sounded grim. Gilbert, who kept his mouth shut, was surprised.

The charisma of an Emperor emanated from the boy. It was an incredible charisma that the Duke Cassil family could never get.

But even so, he was cursed. No matter how long he lived, he would not be able to reach adulthood.

Looking at the black writing covering Blake's hand, Gilbert frowned. The inside of his mask and clothes covered such ugly writing.

“Your Majesty, I apologize for your displeasure. But isn't it true that you're cursed? Heir to the Curse cannot reach adulthood. Now that you are ten years old, you must acknowledge it and think about the future after you are gone. How long will you turn away from the truth like a child?”

"I'm not going to die."

"What?"

Gilbert's eyes widened.

'Did he find a way to dispel the curse?'

There were rumors among the Empire's people that the Crown Prince's curse would be lifted.

He thought it was a myth made by vulgar commoners, but was it true? If that was the case, would Ancia be the real Empress?

"I promised Ancia I wouldn't die."

Gilbert laughed out loud.

"Your Majesty must accept the reality."

“Even if I die, Ancia will not return to your home.”

"Ha ha's. What are you talking about?"

Although he was a monster, he was still a prince.

Gilbert swallowed back his words, and Blake replied, "Do you think I'm a monster?"

"…..Pardon?"

Gilbert was goosebumps all over his body. Did he read his mind?

“I think Count Bellacian is interested in curses.”

"It's not like that…"

He took her hand in a hurry, and Blake continued.

“You must have heard of this. The Goddess' curse is like a plague, so it can be contagious to others.”

“...Haha, that is not true.”

He wanted to pull back his hand, but Blake did not budge. It's not just a difference in strength. His hand felt like it was being sucked by something.

Blake's lips lifted. At that moment, a stream of light from Blake's hand quickly hit Gilbert.

[Fear! The heat! That hurts! It hurts!!] Horrifying screams struck Gilbert along with his light.

After the light assimilated into him, Gilbert struggled with the pain and felt as if his entire body was about to burn.

He opened his mouth. However, no scream came out even though the pain was severe.

Blake threw away his hand.Gilbert fell down and rolled around on the floor. Then, he saw his hand. A black sentence covered Gilbert's hand.

Blake looked at Gilbert, who was shouting silently, with cold eyes.

“Stay away from Ancia.Don't show your face again in front of him and go as far as possible .”

***

I woke up early and applied the ointment to Diana's feet. It must have been uncomfortable because it was a new environment for her, but luckily Diana was sound asleep.

For the first time since I moved into Ancia's body, I didn't sleep with Blake.

I entered Blake's room carefully.

“Ancia.”

Blake was sitting on the bed and smiling when he saw me.

“You're up?”

"Yes." Yeah."

I sit on the bed. I stood near him but he looked pale.

“Why do you look so tired? You're not sleeping?”

"Not that."

“What do you mean, right? You haven't slept, have you?”

He denied it, but it seemed like he had not just woken up. Blake did not deny any further, but the corner of his mouth was raised.

“I just can't sleep well.”

"Your highness…"

“Come, take this.I went to the greenhouse and the roses are very beautiful.”

Blake gave me a red rose. There were many beautiful flowers in the greenhouse, but this was the first time she had chosen one for myself. Although I was happy to receive my first gift from her, something felt strange.

"thank you. It's so pretty."

When I smelled roses, Blake suddenly staggered.

"Your majesty!"

I ran towards him in surprise.

"It's okay. I'm just a little dizzy."

"I'll call you a doctor!"

He took my hand.

“I don't need it. Stay with me.”

"But….!"

“Do not go.”

Blake leaned on me and fell into my arms before she fell asleep. I took her to bed and sat next to her.

Blake fell asleep for a long time and did not wake up. I also fell asleep with him. The white light from his hands enveloped me and put me to sleep as well.

We slept all day. When I woke up, I felt a little cold. I felt like I was having a terrible nightmare. However, the content of the dream was not at all frightening.

“Ancia.”

The surrounding light disappeared and I heard Blake's voice.

I stretched out my hand and stroked the cheek of the little boy beside me.

When I did, her face flushed red, but she did not have a fever.

"Do you sleep well?"

"Yes. I slept well.”

"Why is your face so red when you don't have a fever?"

“You touched me ...”

“….”

He's driving me crazy again. It always reminds me that this is the world of R-19 novels. I was about to let go of my hand, but she held my arm.

"Wives…"

"Don't you hate touching?"

“I never said it.”

She smiled.I started to think that my little groom had become a little demanding, but that was probably just my feeling, wasn't it?
