I Became Crown Prince's Wife
Enter into the world of Novel bag.5

I lived alone with my grandmother in a small town before I moved in. After my grandmother died, I came to Seoul, but the longing for a quiet countryside still remained in the corner of my heart.

I still remember taking a twig with my small hand, putting it in the stove, cooking rice in a large cauldron, and making a bowl of soup.

I've already completed the plan to make the cauldron inside my head.I'll draw a drawing for the cauldron and adjust the design with the blacksmith as they make the prototype. Since I have experience in making furnaces, assembling the furnace myself will be very easy. I'll start the project with two cauldrons and maybe improve it in the future. If they ask what the cauldron is and how I think about it, I can only say that I saw it in the cookbook about the East.

I decided and wandered around the palace to find a location to place the cauldron. Suddenly, a shadow appeared behind me.

"Oh my God!"

I looked back in surprise.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to surprise you."

The boy standing behind me smiled.

He's young, but he's tall and sturdy. His face was sharp and firm and he had dark and thick eyebrows, he had a slightly angular jawline.

Contrary to the mysterious and beautiful-looking Blake, he was a boy with handsome and stern features.

However, his red eyes were filled with arrogance.

Waita minute…

Black hair, red eyes, and scars on the neck…

I instinctively have feelings. This boy was Richard, the male lead of 'The Beast and the Lady.'

“Richard..?”

Even so, I called out his name carefully because there was a possibility it wasn't him. The boy's arrogant smile deepened.

“Old no see, Ancia.”

Ah, I must be right.

Richard was the second son of the Emperor's brother, Duke Cassil. Since Blake, the Crown Prince, had been cursed and was destined not to live long, Duke Cassil's son was considered the next Emperor.

However, Richard was far from gaining the right to succeed the throne. After all, his mother was a lowly slave. The Asteric Empire does not discriminate against illegitimate children much, but another story if they are the children of a slave.

Moreover, Richard was not born with silver hair, which was a symbol of the Imperial family. The black hair he inherited from his mother was also one of Richard's insecurities.

After Emperor Tenstheon died, his younger brother, Arnold Cassil, deposed Crown Prince Blake and ascended the throne. Richard was the one who made the biggest contribution at the time.

He was the best of the duke's three sons, but he was not recognized for his mother's blood. Carrying the ambition to become Emperor, he eliminated his enemies one by one and eventually ascended the throne. At the end of the novel, she uses Diana to get rid of Blake.

This time, I'll stop that from happening. Emperor Tenstheon would not suffer a sudden death and neither would Blake be deposed from the throne.

Blake, he'll be happy. If his curse is lifted, and he will be the next Emperor without any problem. There would be no room for Richard to intervene.

"What can I do for you?"

But, why did the male lead come to see me?

Richard was a calculating man. He will not do anything that does not benefit him. She approached Diana in the original book because she felt she was precious because she had lifted Blake's curse. (Although in the end she realized her sincere love for the female lead character was because it was a romance novel.)

She won't find me useful for being the wife of an abandoned prince.

"You made a fuss as soon as you got married."

"Ruckus?"

“I heard you've fired many palace” maids

"Well…"

That's so... He must've put spies among the servants I fired.

Richard is only 14 years old. However, he had already put a spy on this young age.I found out from books.

The waiter who usually helped Blake was originally Richard's servant. What surprised me was that Richard suddenly came to see me in person.

Isn't he very careful?

Richard was so meticulous that he could get rid of his enemies one by one in all sorts of ways, but he was never seen until the last minute.

I didn't expect him to visit me as soon as I fired his spies. He might as well blatantly admit that he had put a spy in the Crown Prince's palace.

"So?"

"You're acting rashly, so not like yourself."

Whahuh? He spoke as if he knew me well. Is there a point of contact between Richard and Ancia?

"What do you mean?"

“The family of Marquis Hamel is trusted by the Emperor. It is impudent to imprison the eldest son of the late Marquis. His Majesty himself chose all the other servants. It's not right to fire them just like that.”

Yeah, after all, they're all spies planted by you and your family.

I held myself back with what I wanted to say and smiled as if I knew nothing.

"You can't keep people you can't trust."

“If you want loyalty, you need generosity.You can't get that if you fire them easily like that. ”

Why did this man suddenly appear before me and concern himself with giving me this ridiculous advice?

"It's not the young master's business."

"If you have nothing to do with it, you can leave now."

I was curious about the relationship between Richard and Ancia, so I continued the conversation, but I was immediately annoyed by the nonsense.

“Are you angry?”

"I'm sorry?"

"Are you upset that I won't accept your love?"

what kind of shit is this?

“You like me, right?”

Richard was a planner, but he wasn't the type to just make up stories. It doesn't appear in the original story, but it seems like Ancia likes Richard.

“Ancia, it's not because I want to reject your love. But, as you know, I am the son of a slave. How can I ask you under the Emperor's command?

He looked at me with a sad look. He looks like the male lead of a tragic love story who has to break up with his lover at the peak of his status. If I didn't know he was a planner, I'd be fooled.

Is this how he uses a woman who likes him?

In the original story, Richard was a man who, though brilliant, was extremely arrogant, coercive, full of ambition, and obsessive.

Why is he so popular? Blake is a hundred thousand times better.

“Ancia, you're good, so you understand my heart, right? You like me."

"What's? Richard, you're imagining. Who likes you?”

I couldn't stand it anymore and felt annoyed. Richard's arrogant smile stiffened.

"What…?"

“And Richard Cassil, forget being rude, how dare you say such a thing to the Crown Princess. Are you insulting the Imperial family? ”

"Ancia, are you still angry?" He took my hand in shame.

I was about to let go of Richard's hand, but someone else grabbed his hand first.

"Your highness…"

That was Blake.

Blake grabbed Richard's hand and glared at him.

"Ancia said she hated him."

Richard's eyes widened, startled by the sudden appearance of the Crown Prince, but an arrogant smile immediately returned to his face.

“It seems there was a misunderstanding. Lady Bellacian and I are acquaintances.”.

“Richard, she is no longer a Lady. She is Crown Princess.”

Immediately, Richard lowered his head in embarrassment.

“Sorry, Your Highness.My tongue is a little sprained.”

"Be careful. If you don't respect the Crown Princess once again, you won't be forgiven.”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Richard was deathly pale like paper, sweating a lot and his head was tense.

Is something wrong with him? At first, Richard ignored Blake. On the surface, he seemed to respect the Crown Prince, but he did not care about the Crown Prince's authority.

"God."

Blake let go of his hand. Then, Richard fled, with a pale face. What the hell is going on here? Seeing Richard stagger away, Blake carefully pulled my hand.

“Do not see.”

"What?"

“Ancia, don't see him..”.

He whispered with a pouting expression.

“I won't see. Also, he's anj*ng, not human.”

"Dogs?"

“He really b*jantan. He said I liked it. He must be crazy.”

“... You don't like it? Richard is very popular..”.

Blake asked carefully.

“Oh, I hate men like that. I prefer a cute guy like you.”

"Hehe."

Blake smiled brightly, rubbing her white cheeks in my hands.

"What kind of girl do you like?"

“Ancia.”

"I mean, which type do you like?"

“I like Ancia. All I need is Ancia!”

Blake jumped into my arms and hugged me. I smiled and returned his embrace.

"You're someone I need too ..."
