“…….”
When he fainted, there was a time when he regained consciousness for a moment and told me not to go.I thought he had forgotten, but he remembered it clearly.
"Ancia, don't make me nervous."
Blake cried like a child, holding my hand and looking straight into my eyes.
"Never think of running away."
"Your majesty."
“It hurts me every time you stay away from me. Can't you realize that?”
I remember the day when Blake gave me roses last year. The first time I slept with Diana, not her either, she got sick. Blake also fainted when I went to Tenlarn Palace.
But I'm not the heir to the light. I can't help her.
"Ancia, call me Blake."
"Your majesty."
"I woke up because you called me Blake when I was sick."
Blake's hands wrapped around my face, and I stared straight at him.
He didn't just lose his chubby cheeks. He also grew up ...I suddenly realized that Blake had grown up in three years.
"Ancia, come on."
“... Blake.”
I finally called his name.
***
I stared blankly at the stone slab I found from the pond of the Crown Prince's Palace.
Philip betrayed the Goddess of Light, and instead chose Laontel Bellacian as his Empress. The furious Goddess of Light cursed her descendants.
However Diana lifts Blake's curse with the power of light from the Bellacian House.
In other words, when Phillip betrays the Goddess and chooses another woman, the Goddess gives the woman the power to dispel the curse.
Something is strange here. There seems to be another hidden truth. But no matter how much I think about it, I can't find the answer.
After all, I should know the identity of this stone plate thanks to Tenlarn Palace.This stone plate was used to record the history of the Zelcan Empire. All the stone slabs looked similar, as did the letters carved on them.
Phillip would keep historical records even after he moved the capital, but at some point, all the stone slabs disappeared, and only a few remained.
There are only a few recognizable characters in it. What's he sayin? What happened after he moved the capital?
I cleaned the old stone slabs.
After all, it could be a clue that has something to do with Blake's curse.
"Your Majesty, are you here?"
The door opens and Eunhan enters.
“Yes, I was looking at the stone.I reread the Zelcan history book, but there was no book about Tancinol or Phillip's real deeds at the time. How could he deceive a world like this?”
"Did you really read all those books?"
He asked, looking at the books piled up on my desk.
"Yes." Yeah."
"... Your Majesty is the best."
"I've just double-checked what I read before."
I hurriedly waved my hand when I was praised so suddenly.
“I can read the ancient language just because I am a polyglot.”
“You are not only great at reading.”
Eunhan smiled gently.
“There is only a simple record of historical facts.But you just saw it and quickly concluded the situation.you also noticed that Phillip was the one who actually erected the stone slab that was in the middle of Tenlarn Palace. It's not something that just anyone can do. You're still very young, so it's amazing.”
Actually, I'm not that young, but I laugh at him.
"Ha ha ha ha. Am I acting like an old lady? I hear it often.”
"Oh no! That's not what I meant. No matter your age, you're still great. It's just I'm not good at talking.I'm sorry."
Eunhan immediately lowered her head.
"That dress looks good on you."
He was wearing an unusual beige suit.
“Your Majesty gave it to me as a gift. I feel a little awkward wearing this.”
He kept fiddling with the buttons out of embarrassment.
I could see that he wanted to take it off and put back on the black clothes he used to wear.
“You look much more handsome!”
“B-really?”
"Yes." Yeah."
She smiled shyly.
In the original story, Eunhan died this year.
When Tenstheon tries to transfer Blake's curse to himself, Eunhan desperately tries to stop him but fails to do so.
Eunhan then goes to Duke's house with a bloodied body to kill Richard.
Surrounded by countless knights, he still managed to leave a fatal wound on Richard's body.
But now he had cast his life as a shadow and showed himself.
There was still a little time left before the events in the novel happened, but I thought neither Tenstheon nor Eunhan would experience the events in the original novel story set for them.
How good would it be if the tragedy in the original story had not been repeated?
"May I ask you, Eunhan?"
"certain."
"Why did you suddenly decide to show yourself?"
He looked straight at me with a gentle smile.
"I decided to show myself after seeing you."
"Me?"
“Yes, I felt ashamed of myself when I saw you doing your best for the Crown Prince.”
Eunhan spoke calmly.
“I tried to stay hidden.I said I was loyal to His Majesty, but in the end, I could only rely on him. When His Majesty needs me, I cannot even use my magic properly. So I'm scared. Without magic, I am worthless.”
“We're not holding you back because of your magic. Don't think like that.”
“No, I want to help my master more. From now on, I will stand by his side and protect him. I will also be a strong supporter of you and the Crown Prince.”
There was a proud look in his eyes. Eunhan who was originally moody disappeared and an outstanding young man with a bright future instead stood in front of me.
“I feel reassured even now.”
“No, it's not enough.”
It was the excessive humility that came from a man with great power who had knocked down all the knights of Duke Cassil and fatally stabbed Richard.
Eunhan was embarrassed, but suddenly, her eyes turned fierce and she pulled my arm.
“Eunhan..?”
"Your Majesty, this is dangerous."
He pulled out a sword and pulled me behind him. Then, a white light began to radiate from where I was standing.
"What's that?"
“I can feel the power of the Dragon. The one who was sent to get rid of me was at the window. Your Majesty, please run.”
They've sent a killer?
Eunhan has not announced her whereabouts. He usually stayed in the Crown Prince's Palace, and when he went to the Emperor's Palace, he would hide himself and move carefully. Except for the Crown Prince's people, not many people knew of his whereabouts.
“Eunhan, you are also in danger! Let's go together."
“They came for me. I have to take care of it.”
During our brief conversation, the light quickly grew and became a big ball. Then, a powerful light spread out and filled the space before disappearing in an instant.
"Your Majesty, get out of here!"
"I'm kissing you!" *
*for redundant letters indicate different languages.
A clear voice was heard at the same time as Eunhan's urgent cry.The language is different from the Imperial language.
The light dimmed and someone stood there.
Pale skin, white hair, and eyes that glowed as beautiful as jewels, matched with pure white clothes. She did not look like a normal person, but a little girl with a mysterious atmosphere, like a princess in a story.
Who'sis that? No matter how much I think about it, this person never appeared in the original novel story.
"Sister* Eunhan!"
…..This person is not a woman?!
*TL note: the person calls Eunhan hyung which is usually used by men to call his brother.
He stood still on the spot and called Eunhan with a bright smile filled with excitement.
I can relax. Eunhan also lowered her sword, but her expression was terrifying.
"Baekhan, why are you here?"
As Eunhan asked with a puzzled face, the boy named Baekhan smiled widely.
"I'm glad you remember my name."
He stretched his hand forward and stepped carefully, while looking straight at Eunhan.
Then, he was wedged at the foot of the chair and tripped. Eunhan had been staring straight at Baekhan. He approached her quickly and grabbed her when he saw her tripping.
“Oh, I showed my clumsy side.I'm sorry." “...What's wrong with your body? What did Miss Meng do to you?”
