I Became Crown Prince's Wife

“There is such news. The Duke also went to the Chancellor to find out the basis of the rumor. ”

"Slave!Why are you saying that now ?! ”

"The news was delivered in the morning."

“You should have said it before!”

But Frank was a little angry. Richard shut up because this is nothing new. Although Richard did not say anything, Neon who was angry at his brother, instead said to him.

“If Ancia becomes princess, the position of Crown Prince may not be yours.”

"What are you talking about!"

“Sister, are you stupid? Wait-huh? you're already engaged. How can you marry Ancia?”

"Well…"

Seeing Frank just knowing the situation, Neon sneered.

“The next emperor is probably me. I'll get a beautiful bride too.I hope Blake dies soon and the curse is gone.”

"You b*jerk!"

Frank punched Neon.

“Why did you hit me? You said you didn't care if I was cursed!”

“Don't ever call me brother, you son of a bitch! Since when are you after my place ?! ”

Frank swung his fist towards his brother. Richard glanced at them indifferently and left the room.

***

Richard was not at all surprised by the fight between the two brothers. He went back to his room.

He stood on the balcony and looked at the palace. Originally, the Duke had lived in the Imperial palace. Arnold Cassil loved his mother, the Queen.

But other than the Crown Prince, the other princes had to leave the palace as they matured. He wanted to keep his son close to him, so he made a tower near the palace, and gave him the title of Duke.

At first, he was like he was still living in the palace because there was no fence. However, when Tenstheon was crowned, he ordered that a high wall be built between the Duke's estate and the palace. Now, even if someone climbed to the top of the Duke's place, they wouldn't be able to see the palace.

Even now Richard could only see the deserted fence, but he still glanced at it. Ancia must be there by now.

How is he feeling at the moment?Will she be happy to be a princess when the Crown Prince dies? Or will he be sad? Does he feel better now that he has finally slipped out of the monster's grasp?

If Ancia is the light, then Blake is the darkness. They're very different.

At ten o'clock, a black-robed man appeared. That's Domiram, Richard's witch.

Richard asked the same question as yesterday.

"How's that?"

“No response.”

Tenstheon was a great Emperor. It was expected that his brother, Duke Cassil, was next in line to become Crown Prince, but Richard had a different opinion.

Even if Blake died, Tenstheon would not have crowned the greedy Duke Cassil, the foolish Frank, or the weak Neon as the Crown Prince.

To Richard, Duke Cassil was his enemy, but at the same time, he was a stepping stone for him to make himself Emperor.

If there was another Crown Prince, Duke Cassil's authority would fall indefinitely. Richard's chances of becoming Emperor would also be small.

Richard heard that Blake was in critical condition, and came to a conclusion.

'Let's get rid of Tenstheon.'

He decided to kill Tenstheon, and made Duke Cassil Emperor.

If Tenstheon were to choose an outstanding person among the royal family, it would be difficult for Richard to be chosen no matter how great he was. But it's another matter if Duke Cassil becomes Emperor.

Frank's arrogance had reached a point where he had even underestimated his father, the Duke.

Duke Cassil used to love his eldest son very much, but now he is also gradually disappointed in him, and is beginning to show more interest in Neon. If Richard provoked Frank to self-destruct and kill Neon for a chance, he could easily become Emperor.

Even if Duke Cassil hated Richard, he would rather pass the throne to his own son than to someone he had no blood relation to.

Richard decides to do so and orders Domiram and secretly spreads the news.

'There are witches among Roum who use ancient magic. They can even transmit the curse of the Goddess to others.'

Richard thought the Emperor would definitely show interest in him, but Tenstheon did not accept his bait.

Instead, she called the people to discuss the appointment of Ancia as a princess. Upon hearing the news, Duke Cassil rushed to meet the Rector. It's very possible that it's true.

Tenstheon chose Ancia as his successor rather than his own brother or anyone else in the royal family.

"Should I throw more bait?"

Richard shook his head at Domiram's question.

"Enough. Stop the plan.”

When Ancia became a princess, her husband would become Emperor.

Tenstheon was the only one Richard recognized. This time, the situation was unavoidable, so he tried to kill her, but he wanted to keep her alive if possible. Especially if he had Ancia, he had no reason to kill her.

“Instead, I should get a present for Ancia. Something very valuable and difficult to resist.”

Richard's red eyes flashed with desire.

***

Blake was unconscious for ten days. The palace doctor said that it would be difficult for him to live a normal life if he was unconscious today.

Dark clouds overshadowed the Crown Prince's palace.

Eunhan tries to use her magic, but she is blocked by the powerful force that flows over Blake's body and eventually gives up.

There was a huge force that exploded like a whirlpool inside Blake. Under these circumstances, forcing magic can be toxic to Blake.

I immediately contacted the Knight Academy and tried to call Diana, but I couldn't reach her because they had gone for training near the Valley of Chaos.

The situation is much worse than in the original novel.

It's all because of me. It wouldn't have happened if I had left the story untouched.

Changing the original story for him may have caused the butterfly effect, so now Blake is in pain because of it.

'Wake up, Your Majesty. Goddess of Light, please don't make Blake in pain. Blake did nothing wrong! He did not choose to be born as a descendant of Phillip. Please lift the curse!'

Tenstheon comforted me in a soft voice as I held Blake's hand and prayed earnestly.

"Ancia, it's not your fault."

"What?"

"It wasn't your fault. So don't blame yourself.”

"I don't blame myself."I shook my head in a hurry.

“In addition, dad, you have to eat something. You haven't eaten anything today.”

“You called me dad again?You only call me dad when you need something.I'm disappointed."

In contrast to his words, his words were warm.

“In the end, I couldn't lift Blake's curse. I'm too shy to call you dad.”

"Why do you have such ridiculous thoughts?"

“But..”.

“Ancia, if I knew you were under such pressure, I would not allow you to go to Tenlarn Palace. No, I should have stopped you when you said you wanted to find a way to get rid of Blake's curse. Blake's curse comes from the sin of Geracillion's ancestors and because I am incompetent.you have no responsibility for it.”

“But if only I had the power to lift the curse Blake..”.

“You are a gift for us. Your own existence is precious. So don't ever think like that again.”

Tenstheon held my hand tightly.

“If this child dies, I swear I will make you a princess.”

"What's? You mean what?"I looked at Tenstheon in surprise.

“I thought I wouldn't have a child, but I met a woman I love so much. It's all my fault that Blake is cursed.”

"It wasn't dad's fault."

“No, it's my fault.I really wish I could transfer Blake's curse on me instead.I don't want Blake to feel pain.”

“……”

“Goddess of Light cursed Phillip Geracillion because he used him to become Emperor. If her descendants leave the throne, the Goddess can release her anger. If Blake doesn't survive, I'll make you a princess. And I will pass the throne to you.”

Tenstheon said as if he was ready for the death of his son.

Tenstheons. He took care of me and treated me as if I were his real son. It's something I'm grateful for. But now, I am angry at him for thinking that way.

“Don't say that. He'll be healed! I'll take away the curse!”

"Yes, of course. But if..”

“Don't say 'if'! That's not going to happen, so don't think about it.”

I hugged Blake's body. It was scary to think that Tenstheon could give up on Blake's life.

“Blake will be aware! I'll make sure of it. He'll heal!”

I yelled at Tenstheon.I can't stand it because I think Blake might actually die if his loved ones give up on him. At that moment, I heard a small voice.

“...Ancia.”

I looked at Blake in surprise as he called my name. He looked at me with his red eyes. Unlike his tired eyes a few days ago, his eyes looked alive now.

"Your majesty!"
