I Became Crown Prince's Wife
What do cats like bag.1

"What?! None of this would have happened if you hadn't left!”

shamelessly shouted Frank. Duke Cassil nodded and agreed with his son.

“Frank true. Richard, I accepted you as a child because I judged that you have the ability to help Frank.Your poor performance has caused severe damage to our finances, and you still blame Frank?”

"I'm sorry.My tongue slipped a little. ”

Richard lowered his head. Despite his apology, Duke and Frank continue to make more abusive comments.

Richard went back to hell.

After he met Ancia, he caught a glimpse of the light for a moment and the darkness disappeared.

“Mr Cassil, you are a talented person. If you use your abilities in the right place, you will receive many glorious blessings.”

He said so. But will a sunny day come even if he lives a good life? Her mother was very kind, but she was still being trampled. He was trampled and ignored, ridiculed even after his mother's death.

Richard was born with the blood of the Roums left behind by the Goddess of Light. He was born in darkness and had never seen the light.

If someone who has nothing tries to be kind, they will only be exploited.

If he didn't want to be used, he just had to occupy a higher position. He had to be in a position where he could trample everyone. The position of Emperor that the Duke and Frank so desired would be his.

Richard removed Ancia's words from his head. In the depths of his heart, even that little light faded and turned into darkness, while his deep passion appeared.

'Emperor' and 'Ancia'.

He wants Angia. Richard had seen the light for the first time since his mother's death.

He wanted Ancia to be by his side for a long time.

He wanted to have it like he wanted an expensive gem, but Richard was also shaken by feelings other than the possessiveness of the day. Ancia was like a beam of light to her who wandered in the darkness.

He wanted her to call him the 'Crown Princess'? He would call her that anytime. He could take control of the Palace and then take her as his friend. Ancia will be the Crown Princess and her Empress.

Tenstheon did everything he could for me.

He gave me whatever I wanted, and if I wanted to study, he would invite the best teacher in a certain field for me.

I studied hard and taught Blake too.

We're studying history in my room today.

“Your Majesty, a thousand years ago, in the Zelcan Empire, only the nobility were allowed to read. The Zelcan language itself was complicated and difficult, and the books of the time were all very expensive because they used expensive parchment.”

"They burned all those books, didn't they?"

"Fright! When the Zelcan Empire collapsed and the Asteris Empire was established, Roum began the Zelcan revival movement. The revival movement, led by Fifth Prince Zelcan Rakshul, became increasingly violent, and they even burned *Emperor Phillip's Tenlarn Palace.”.

* TL Note: okay so the name really is that ... anyone who has a better idea (because it doesn't sound good) please comment or should I write Emperor Phillip's Palace every time? (Edited to: Tenlarn Palace)

I was explaining the history of the Empire to Blake, when all of a sudden, I was daydreaming.

[Is that you?Did you light the fire?]

Suddenly, the rough voice of a woman and a blazing flame appeared before my eyes. The place that had gold and jewels adorning the lanterns was engulfed in flames.

'What is this?'

[How can you do this?!]

I heard someone ask in a desperate tone. I could feel the anger of that woman.

[Open! Open now!]

The woman howled. Everything around him glittered with gold, but there was a rough stone slab on one side that did not match the grandeur of the other place.

'What is this?'

I was dizzy and confused, but I heard Blake's voice.

“Ancia! Ancia!there What? Ancia?”

As soon as I heard his worried voice, my mind became clear.

"Ancia, are you sick?"

"No, I just got lost in my thoughts."

I shake my head reflexively. I don't want to make Blake worry.

"really?"

"Yes. Now, let's go back to learning again.”

Blake returned to his seat while looking at me.I continued the class with a big smile in order to reassure him.

“The fire burned the Palace, but Emperor Phillip was safe and sound. Rakshul predicted that the revival movement would fail and get rid of books, stone slabs, and anything written in the language of the Zelcan Empire. Back then, Rakshul said this to his followers.”

I pointed my hand at a sentence in the book and Blake read it out loud.

“History and knowledge of this land comes from the Zelcan Empire. If the Zelcan Empire disappears, the knowledge of this world will be lost, and if the Zelcan Empire reigns in the world, knowledge will return.”

“You read it well. Rakshul tried to continue the Zelcan revival movement using knowledge of the Roums language as a weapon. It wasn't enough to get rid of the books and stone slabs Roum had, so they attacked the church and library as well.”

Blake concentrated on my explanation. Studying history is quite boring, but I am very proud and happy to see him nodding his head with his brightly glowing eyes.

“Emperor Phillip created a new language, and spread that language to everyone through books. This allowed new languages to quickly become the norm, and the language of the Zelcan Empire, which had long dominated the land, disappeared and was later called Ancient Language.”

People are not always good or bad. Phillip betrays the Goddess and causes a curse to occur, but at the same time, he also makes a language that is easy to learn by commoners and provides cheap paper, greatly lowered the rate of people not reading in the Empire.

"Maybe. But it would not be called an ancient language. It would be called the Empire's language instead. ”

Blake smiled throughout the class as he listened attentively and even asked questions.

In the original story, Blake eventually lost to Richard. Then, Richard said with an arrogant expression that Blake did not have the quality to become an Emperor.

He laughed at Blake, saying, "Even if the curse is lifted, you don't deserve to be the Crown Prince because I've devoted my life to becoming an Emperor, yet you've done nothing."

That's bullshit.

Although Blake was the Crown Prince, he did not receive a proper education.

The nobles and priests were always watching closely to see if the Emperor had really ignored the Heir of the Curse or if he was sorry.

If they saw that Tenstheon had some affection for his son, they would insist that he immediately depose Blake from the position of Crown Prince and lock him up on the South Island.

Tenstheon knew that so he was careful and only let Blake read the book himself, but did not give him a decent lesson.

In addition to that….

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Blake's little hand suddenly trembled. The curse did not just stop at the engraving of black curse sentences on the body. It also came with a stabbing pain.

Not to mention, the pain he felt on the left side of his body where the curse sentence was engraved would not make his right side completely unaffected.

The curse sentence has not spread any further in the past three years, but the pain has not gone away.

The pain made the curse heirs more difficult to perform normal activities compared to ordinary people, not to mention learning.

"Yes. It's okay."

Blake smiled brightly as he lowered his trembling right hand.

He always said he was fine and rarely showed any signs of distress.

"You need to stop learning now."

"okay."

I approached him and held his hand. Cold hands.

“It would be better to stop your sword practice for a while as well.”

"But I didn't go to practice yesterday either."

Although he was the heir to the curse, the curse punishment had not spread in the past three years, and he was not seriously ill. Of course, the pain of the curse did not go away, but it was not always this heavy.

These days, the symptoms seem to be getting worse. It would be difficult for him to carry the sword under these circumstances, but he still did not want to rest.

"Don't worry. This won't be a problem.”

"But Your Majesty ..."

“Ancia, I'm fine. I won't be able to do anything if you continue like this.”

“……”

Blake smiled again. She smiled as brightly as she could if I was worried.

“I had to rest yesterday because of the rain, but today the sky looks bright. It's the perfect day for practice.”

But I can't leave Blake alone knowing he's overreacting. I clasped his hand.

“Can't you take another day off? There's something I really want to do with you.”.

“What do you want to do with me? Wh-what is it?”

"Come here."

I got into bed, pulled her hand. Then, Blake suddenly stopped.

"Your highness…?"

“I-bed is small...”.

Why is his face red?

“I'm tired because I use my brain too much to think. I need to take a nap.”

“Then, while you sleep, I will practice.”

"But I can't sleep without you."

Blake's face grew redder and redder as I held her hand tightly and refused to let go.

“T-but this is the bed of Ancia!”

“That's no problem.”

“I object..”.

Blake's lips pouted, but when I pulled his hand, he had no choice but to follow me.

I laid her on the bed and touched her forehead. Fortunately, he had no fever. I pulled the blanket up to his neck.

"Wait a minute.I'll get the heating equipment. ”

As I was about to get out of bed, Blake grabbed my hand.
