“Dad, no black magic transferred the curse of the Goddess to others. Don't believe it if you've heard it. You should be wary of the Cassil family, especially Richard.”
"Do you think I'd be fooled by something like that?"
He smiled as if to convince me.
There is a reason why Tenstheon fell into Richard's trap in the original novel.
One day, Blake's condition becomes very serious, and more severe, the Door of Darkness also opens.
Tenstheon tried to seal the door to fulfill his duties as Emperor, but if he used the power of light, he could not guarantee that Blake's life would remain intact.
Tenstheon was pushed into such an extreme situation that he used black magic even though he knew it was a dangerous gamble, and then, ended up losing his life.
“I will definitely finish the way to lift the Crown Prince's curse, so please trust me.”
"You're chatty again."
“I'm not chatty. That's a suggestion to consider.”
"Don't worry, I have two kids to take care of. I won't act rashly.”
He ruffled my hair slowly.
The child to be protected.... One of them is Blake. The other is me.
According to the original story, the Emperor will lose his life this year. But it's not gonna happen now.
I'll protect her.

The acceptance of the Knight Academy was faster than anywhere else. It was because the students needed to undergo winter training to strengthen their resolve.
I wanted Diana to achieve her dream of becoming a knight, but I was worried because she said she had to train in winter, and not in the blooming spring.
But Diana, the person involved, was as excited as a puppy.
“Your Majesty, you know I only trust me, right? If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been able to go to the academy because I would have been too worried about him. Please keep him safe!”
“Yes, sister-in-law, don't worry. Working hard is good, but be careful not to get hurt.”
“Don't worry about me. I will soon graduate and become a knight!”
It was nice to see the two of them getting along so well.
"Let's talk about who's liked it better in six years."
"Aren't we coming to a conclusion?"
“Oh, that is my win.”
"What do you mean?I won!"
"Let's go. We will be late for the entrance ceremony if we wait any longer.”
"Yes! Your Highness, see you during the summer holidays!”
"I'll wait."
"Your Majesty, I'll be right back."
"Yes. Hope your journey is safe, Ancia.”
Only students and family members were allowed to attend the acceptance ceremony of the Knight Academy.
I boarded the carriage with Diana and headed to the Knight Academy.
Diana wore the black pants uniform of the Knight Academy and tied her hair. He looks really cool.
“...Diana, Countess can not come because she is busy.”
I told him carefully.
I've sent some letters to Countess Bellacian. Count Bellacian was exiled, so naturally, he would not be able to attend the reception ceremony. However, his wife should still come to congratulate his daughter for starting a new chapter in her life.
But he refused to come.
"I know.I heard that she is going to church today to file for divorce.”
Diana said in a relaxed tone.
"Divorce?"
It was a loveless marriage from the beginning. In the original novel's story, the Bellacian couple are only together because they fulfill each other's arrogance, but they are not divorced.
“Mother said that dad was really crazy, and if I was the source of everything. He's sick and tired of both of us.”
“You did nothing wrong. Don't mind them.”
“I don't care. I have a good sister.”
Diana came to my side and folded her hands. I also patted her shoulder.
"Sister. Take this." Take this."
He took out a small jewelry box.
"What's this?"
“This is Bellacian ring and mansion key. I think my mom kept it when Dad left. She gave it back to me when she said she was getting a divorce now. So you have the right to take it.This is yours now.”
"Diana, I can't accept this."
I tried to refuse. But Diana put the jewelry box back in my hands.
“The Bellacian family was originally on the verge of collapse. But they don't go bankrupt thanks to your birth mother, and most of the assets are hers. So it was yours from the beginning. ”
As Diana said, the Bellacian property is the legacy that Ancia's mother left to the original Ancia.
"….Thank you." Thank you."
“I finally returned it to the rightful owner.What do you mean thank you?”
He gave me everything and smiled happily.
Then, the car slowly stopped.
"Oh! I think we're here!”
Diana opened the curtains of the carriage. Then, we saw a magnificent view of the Knight Academy in front of us.
When Tenstheon heard that I was going to the reception ceremony, he sent the best Emperor and knight chariots to escort us.
Diana reached out to me with her head slightly bowed, like a true knight.
"Your Majesty, can we leave now?"
I put my hand in Diana's hand. When I got off the train under Diana's escort, an incredible trumpet sounded.
Gosh darn. Dad, why are you preparing all this?
As we walked on the red carpet in front of the carriage, the academy students and nobles came to greet the Crown Princess. And the dean of the academy welcomed me as a representative.
"Crown Princess, a blessing from the Empire, I welcome you."
I had just planned to celebrate quietly as a freshman Sister, but her welcome had somehow become too big for me.
I went to see the reception ceremony next to the dean on the platform.
At first it was a bit burdensome. However, since Diana was in the front row as they sat according to their rank, it was a great place to look at her.
I watched the entrance ceremony with a sincere thanks to Dad.
The entrance ceremony of the Knight Academy was very boring, but Diana showed no signs of boredom. Instead, he sat up straight and looked very mature today.
The acceptance ceremony ended with the chief admissions officer rising to the podium as a representative and taking the oath of the academy.
New students are given a short time to say goodbye to their families because they must immediately enter the dormitory.
“Sister, I'll be on the podium when I pass.”
Diana glared at the red-haired boy on the podium. His eyes were burning with a competitive aura.
“Do not overdo it. Being strong is more important than rank.”
“Important for high ratings too.
“You will start winter training tomorrow. Can't you use fire manastone?”
"No problem.I'm not the only one who can't use it.”
diana said calmly. He seems to have grown significantly in a few months.
At that moment, a voice sounded to announce the entrance from afar.
"Sister, I'm leaving."
"Yes, assemalat street."
“Fiuh, I can't leave my beautiful sister. Let me know if anyone bothers you. I'll go teach them a lesson later. ”
"Don't worry about me, and make sure to write a lot of letters."
"Yes! I will write many letters to you!”
Diana ran to the dormitory, waving her hands.
***
I showed Blake a video of the entrance ceremony today.
"Diana looks cool."
"All right?"
Diana studied hard and entered the Knight Academy, so I am very proud of her.
"Is that woman always this old?"
Melissa and Hans who were watching the video together beside her were also amazed to see Diana.
“Ya, I don't know either.”
“I suddenly remembered the past. Snow fell as I entered the school.I thought I would die from holding back a sneeze.”
"You're the best student, aren't you?"
"Then you must be standing on the podium as well?"
“Yes, I was so busy holding my sneeze to the end. I was a kid back then.”
Suddenly, Blake exclaimed.
"Did you shoot the video of Ancia?"
“This is not my entrance ceremony. Why are they shooting videos for me?”
"No. I'm recording it."
Hans answered and brought a large box. The box was filled with video stones.
"I recorded Your Majesty in the video."
There are 20 videos.
Judging from the title alone, it seemed like a normal entrance ceremony video, but when I played the video again, I saw it full of my video at the entrance ceremony.
“Why are you recording this?”
"His Majesty ordered it."
I can't believe he wasted such an expensive stone like this.
"Why would he give such an order?"
Melisa smile.
"It must be a gift."
"Gift?"
"Yes. Your Majesty's Gift to the Crown Prince.”
I don't think anyone in the world likes this gift, but I hear Blake's voice.
"Wow! Ancia laughs!”
Blake's eyes sparkle when he sees me on video. I think my little groom really likes that boring video.
