I Became Crown Prince's Wife
Why does this have to be an R-19 novel?bag6
“I'm not a witch. Don't worry, I'll protect you. Don't be afraid.”
I comforted Blake who was still scared because of the story. Then, after being silent for a while, Blake smiled brightly.
“Yes, I will also protect my wife.”
He came out of the blanket and hugged me tightly.
Blake is really good.
***
A huge dance party was held at the palace to commemorate the day that the Goddess of Light gave her power to Phillip.
Various representatives from the nobility, the knight academy and more, came to thank Goddess and praise Phillip.
Every time I hear them praising Phillip, I get upset.
He is the reason why Blake is cursed, however, he is hailed as a hero while his victims are insulted.
The dance party begins after the congratulatory speech ends.
Tenstheon leaves the ballroom with Duke Cassil and Collin. I walked to the corner of the dance hall quietly.
But there are a lot of people who try to get close to me and talk to me.
There are always people who try to do it every time there is a dance, but this time it is too much.
In particular, there were a lot of men who came to take me dancing.
"Your Majesty, will you share your first dance with me noble?"
"I'm sorry. I'm not feeling well today.”
“But just once..”.
"I don't want to dance."
“….”
"He's very rude."
When they saw the demand to dance flooded in, Countess Chardin and a few women refused to take my place.
I wondered why Richard was so silent while the others were doing this today, when suddenly, a man came to me.
The silver-haired man with small eyes smelled of liquor. That's Frank, Richard's half-brother.
“Only one song.”
He commanded me in a haughty manner.
His actions are contrary to ethics.
However, no one dared to show his rudeness as Frank was the Emperor's nephew and the most likely candidate to be the new Crown Prince.
I looked into Frank's eyes and said, "I refuse."
"What!"
Frank's expression turned sour.
When I rejected her extremely disrespectful seduction, her pride was shattered.
“How dare you disobey me?! Didn't you get a proper education because you are the daughter of a ruined noble?”
The atmosphere instantly turned cold. Even if she is next in line for the position of Crown Prince, I am still the Crown Princess now.
Everyone was dumbfounded by Frank's harsh words, but he did not stop talking.
“Not everyone is stupid. No one would believe the stupid rumors about the curse that would soon be dispelled. Are you an idiot? I'm the next Emperor! I, Frank, will be the next Emperor!you seem to be underestimating me because you are going to be a princess, but your husband is going to be the Emperor, so that means you will be mine! You will marry me anyway!”
Frank shouted indistinctly. His choice of words and pronunciation was extremely poor, and he could not even stand up properly.
As he continued to speak rudely, I became somewhat displeased.
Frank is a proud man. Duke Cassil cares about Frank because he's just like him. He loved him, and thought that Frank would be the next Emperor.
Frank also considered himself the next Emperor.
However, he was usually careful not to make such mistakes in the dance hall where so many important people gathered.
I've met him several times during the dance.
But, he suddenly went berserk today.
Not likely…
I looked at Richard.
Everyone was shocked, but Richard smiled.
This must be one of his tricks.
He let Frank get drunk.
"Frank, don't do this."
Frank's fiancee, the daughter of the Westin family steps up and tries to stop him. Frank brushed it off violently.
“How dare you touch me! You are so ugly! I wouldn't even accept you as my fiance if you weren't from the Westin family! Ah, I don't need your family anymore, so go!”
"Well…"
Everyone was very surprised, but the smile on Richard's lips grew wider.
“Mr Cassil, you must leave now.you are very drunk.I will talk to you later about your rudeness today .."
When I raised my hand to call a servant, Frank grabbed my wrist.
"Who are you, how dare you tell me?!"
"What are you doing?! Let me go!"
“I am Emperor Asteris! I'm Emperor! That monster will still die and you will be mine! Ahh—!”
Frank screamed as he fell to the floor. He angrily turned to look at the man who had dropped him.
"You who?! How dare you!”
"Your Majesty."
Tenstheon was staring at Frank.
"Dad…"
“Ancia, are you okay?Are you hurt?"
Tenstheon hugged me tightly and comforted me.
Then, Frank hurriedly said, “Your Majesty! I didn't mean it that way!”
This time, the pronunciation was very clear.
He must have been conscious when he saw Tenstheon.
"The Crown Princess seduced me first!"
Frank finally blamed me. Tenstheon kicked his stomach.
"I'm wrong!"
A sword was now directed at him.
Silence struck the large ballroom. The people were overwhelmed by the Emperor's presence, but no one dared to stop him.
Frank calls the Crown Prince a monster and reveals the truth that he will soon die in front of everyone.
Of course, this was no secret to anyone, but everyone would only discuss it in private. After all, Blake was still the Crown Prince of this Empire.
Even though she was the heir to the curse, one would never be able to bring her up in front of the Emperor and the Crown Princess.
Moreover, Frank called himself Emperor of this Empire.
Under these circumstances, no noble would dare to side with Frank. There was only one person who was on his side.
"Your Majesty, please stop!"
Duke Cassil tried to stop Tenstheon.
“Frank is your nephew! How can you do this because of a small mistake? ”
“Small error?”
Everyone held their breaths, while Duke Cassil continued boldly.
“Yes, he made a small mistake because he was drunk! I could even tell that Frank was drunk when he said that!”
"Your Majesty, that's enough."
Reading the unusual atmosphere, Richard tried to stop Duke Cassil, but Duke shouted even louder.
“Moreover he just expressed his opinion. Is there something wrong with that?”
"I understand."
“I'm glad you understand it.”
"No matter what he says, you owe him an apology."
Duke Cassil's mouth was raised. He was very happy because of his victory over Tenstheon.
Frank stood up immediately.
“Hey, that's right! I need an apology!”
Tenstheon looked at the two of them.
"I know that. This idiot also learned from you.”
“Stupid?!I'm not an idiot!"
Duke Cassil tried to protest but Tenstheon ignored him.
“Kurung Duke Cassil and his eldest son in prison. They were charged with treason.”
“T-betrayal? Brother, what do you mean?”
Duke Cassil's eyes widened.
He still did not understand the situation, but no one would explain the situation to him.
Duke Cassil and Frank are immediately taken away by the knights.
Richard didn't expect this to happen either.
Tenstheon.
“You must be scared. Sorry I came so late.”
"It's okay."
She hugged me. I also returned his embrace tightly in response.
I wanted to comfort Tenstheon because he looked more surprised than me.
***
There's one good thing about the Frank incident.
The dance, which was supposed to last all night, ended early, so I could return to the Amoria palace early.
"Ancia, why are you back so early?"
“I miss my husband.”
"What's going on?"
Blake is very smart. Even though I spoke as clearly as possible, he immediately realized it.
“I came home early because I wanted to see fireworks with you.”
"really?"
"Yes." Yeah."
On the last day of the festival, there will be fireworks everywhere.
The event was large enough to be seen from the Crown Prince's palace.
"Quick."
"Good."
We climbed into the small attic on the top floor of the Amoria Palace.
Although the room was not used often, Melissa still cleaned it first.
“Melissa and Hans are in the square, right?”
"Yes, they should have been in the square waiting for the fireworks to start by now."
I gave Melissa and Hans a vacation today. They both refused but I told them to spend some time together. At this point, they may forget to hide their relationship and decide to enjoy dating together.
“We can do the same, right?”
