I Became Crown Prince's Wife
The White Dragon the Murky bag.10
"Baekhan, wake. Open your eyes!"
Ancia who was waiting outside, hurriedly ran towards them when she heard Eunhan's voice.
"Is Baekhan in a critical state?"
"It's not a problem. I'll save him.”
He's gonna save Baekhan. He will protect his family.
"Your Majesty, I'll return to Chang ..."
Seeing Eunhan's stern expression and Baekhan's body, Ancia realizes that this situation is unusual.
"Is it because of Baekhan?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"OK please."
Eunhan looked down respectfully. A black fog suddenly surrounded Eunhan and Baekhan's bodies and they quickly disappeared.
Eunhan is not back.
***
Tenstheon looked at the papers piling up on his desk.
Most of them came from the nobles who protested him going to the Crown Prince's Palace.
Tenstheon has been walking on ropes for the past three years.
He spoils Ancia but shows no interest in the Crown Prince.
However, all his false indifference was revealed due to this incident. Tenstheon stopped going to the Crown Prince's Palace for a while and observed the situation.
'Started the protest because I entered the Crown Prince's Palace, complained about Ancia, and demanded that Blake be exiled. It was all Arnold.'
Duke Cassil himself did nothing, but looking at the list of nobles protesting, Tenstheon could see that Arnold was behind them.
Although Arnold did not have that much power, it was also due to the public's aversion to the Heir of the Curse that gave them a reason to protest.
Tenstheon was looking at the paper when Eunhan came in.
“Eunhan!”
"Your Majesty."
Eunhan knelt on one knee and greeted him.
"Wake up."
"I'm sorry for leaving without a word."
“I heard everything from Ancia. How's your sister doing?”
“Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. He's fine."
Eunhan carries Baekhan's body as they return to Chang. Fortunately, Baekhan was able to be saved, but he was not immediately conscious.
Eunhan stays by Baekhan's side, and takes care of him as he gradually recovers, and then he wakes up.
“That's a good thing. Everyone is worried about him.”
"And…"
Eunhan looked straight at Tenstheon's face.
But he hesitated to say the words he wanted to say when he saw it, Tenstheon smiled gently and said, "Are you just thinking of coming to greet me today?"
“….”
Eunhan lowered her head.
When Eunhan returned to Chang, the rain began to pour over the land. The light rain marked the end of a long drought. People greeted Eunhan amid shouts stating that she was a follower of the Heavenly Dragon.
The Emperor was also happy about this.
However, nothing reflects their past behavior towards Eunhan nor does it apologize. That's so disgusting.
Eunhan wants to return to Asteric soon, but she can't because of Baekhan.
Eunhan finds out about how Baekhan has been treated when she runs away. Baekhan was locked up in prison for being close to him. Even after he was released, he was often threatened by the princes because he was chosen by the White Dragon.
The royal family hates Baekhan because he waits for Eunhan and refuses to choose the Crown Prince among them.
Baekhan was secretly harassed in his residence and people would also steal his property.
Therefore, Eunhan decides to stay in Chang to protect her.
"I'm the only one who can protect my sister."
Tenstheon was a powerful Emperor, but he was lonely. He missed his son but could not even see his face.
Eunhan wants to help Tenstheon, so she swears allegiance to him and does not leave his side.
"You have the Crown Prince and Crown Princess beside you now, so you won't be too lonely."
"You're a brash kid."
Tenstheon said so to her, but she smiled.
“I want to protect me because I'm the only one who can do that and he's my only family. So I decided to leave Asteric. Sorry I can't keep protecting you.I'll never forget the kindness you've done for me.”
Eunhan bending.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Tenstheon patted her on the shoulder and gave her a white envelope.
"Take it."
"What's this?"
Eunhan opened the envelope.
Inside the white envelope, he found a type of paper used in the East. He was shocked when he read it.
It was a deed for a gold mine.
“Because most of the mines are owned by the country in Chang, I bought the mine from the nearest country.”
Eunhan saw the date of the mine purchase. It was purchased a few years ago.
Tenstheon prepared in advance if Eunhan wanted to return to Chang.
Eunhan gave the ownership deed back to Tenstheon while holding back her tears.
“I can't. I was embarrassed to leave so suddenly. I can't take something so precious.”
"Take. Didn't you say you wanted to protect your sister? It will take a lot of effort to do that. Most of the princes must have worked hard to become Emperors when you left the country. Even though you were chosen by the Sky, they won't retreat that easily.”
It's just like he said.
Other princes also vied for the position of Crown Prince. They have invested a lot of effort in it.
Even though Eunhan was chosen by the Heavenly Dragon, she would lose if she had nothing to support him.
“You will need money to win the fight, so take it.”
"But…"
“No need to feel depressed. Think of it as your reward.”
"Thank you for giving me this, sir."
"I'm not your master now."
"No, you're still my only master."
Eventually, tears started to flow down Eunhan's face as Tenstheon patted her on the back.
“I'm sorry for causing so much trouble. If you need help, please let me know. ”
“No, I never had any trouble because of you.”
Eunhan nodded while holding back tears.
Now that he had returned to Chang, he would be alone.
“I just stopped by to greet you. I think I've been gone too long. I have to go now.”
Baekhan had yet to fully recover, so he felt uncomfortable leaving him alone.
"Yes, please."
Eunhan took something from her sleeve and gave it to Tenstheon before she left.
“This is a gift from Baekhan to His Majesty. He said it would bring him luck. ”
“Why didn't you give it to her yourself? Both Blake and Ancia are worried about you two. Why not visit them for a while?”
"I wanted to, but I've been out too long."
Eunhan likes Ancia, but she is her master's daughter-in-law. He had to erase his feelings.
Angie was his first love. He did not want to return to Chang because he did not want to be far from his side.
But he had to move.
“Please invite me to the wedding of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.I will definitely attend.”
In the Asteric Empire, people usually married informally when they were young, and once they grew up, they would register them in church and hold formal weddings.
The royal family is no exception.
In order to have a formal marriage, Blake must live until he is an adult and the curse must be removed.
Tenstheon smiled and nodded.
“You will be invited.”
"I'll wait for that, sir."
Eunhan bowed to Tenstheon and disappeared in an instant.
After he left, Tenstheon looked at the papers piled up on his desk.
“The boy will do his best to protect his family. What am I worried about?”
Blake and Ancia were precious to him, so he was very careful. If this continued, she would not be able to protect her children.
Tenstheon was very sorry when Blake passed out, so he promised to protect them more carefully this time.
He picked up a piece of paper and threw it into the fireplace.
He was the most powerful Emperor in history, Tenstheon Rhodis Geracillion.
He could not show any weakness.
