I Became Crown Prince's Wife
Why does this have to be an R-19 novel?bag8

Rumors spread in the Capital that if the Crown Prince died, Ancia would become a princess and her new husband would become Emperor.

The noble children were impatient and tried to influence Ancia.

Ironically, at the same time, they believed that the Crown Prince's curse would be lifted.

Despite the intense competition, Frank is confident.

“It is not difficult to win the heart of a girl who craves affection. It's a relief that she's beautiful. I can finally say goodbye to that ugly Westin girl!”

Frank was supposed to marry Marquis Westin's daughter.

Duke Cassil chose this marriage for her after much deliberation.

Frank was not satisfied with his appearance, but they were one of the richest families in the Empire and also had a great influence.

It is not possible to cancel the wedding because the date of the wedding is already set.

Richard looked at his clueless half-brother as he held back his irritation.

But that was an advantage for Richard.

Frank was addicted to gambling, alcohol, and drugs. It was Richard's job to hold him back. He takes advantage of it and lets Frank get drunk before taking him to the dance.

The Emperor and Duke Cassil were not present at the time. Duke Cassil calls Tenstheon to protest against him visiting the Crown Prince's palace.

“How dare you disobey me?!I doubt you even got a proper education since you are the daughter of a ruined noble. ”

And as Richard had expected, Frank was causing trouble.

His personality was already very bad, but when he was drunk, he became a complete b*jinger.

After Frank reveals his true nature in front of everyone, Richard will save Ancia and win her heart.

Everything went according to his plan.

"Enough."

Richard was about to intervene but someone suddenly stopped his plan in front of him. Tenstheon.

And the Emperor dropped Frank with just a few words.

Richard was surprised for a while, but he felt that this was not a bad development either.

Although he missed the opportunity to save Ancia, he was able to eliminate Frank from the list of candidates.

Even though he made a controversial statement, he might just be kicked out of the family.

But Duke Cassil suddenly appeared.

"Your Majesty, stop!"

Besides Frank, there's one more fool in the Cassil family.

That was Arnold Cassil.

He made fun of the Crown Prince, the Imperial family and defended his son's treasonous remarks.

But even that was not enough for him and he shouted at the Emperor.

Duke Cassil cares a lot about Frank, but this is really stupid.

Tenstheon did not miss this opportunity.

"You should apologize to her, no matter what you say!"

Richard realized that he was not paying attention to people.

So far he thought Frank Cassil was the dumbest man in the Empire.

But Arnold was even more stupid than him.

“Your Majesty, this is not the time to worry about it.you have been accused of treason.”

"Treason? What betrayal?”

Duke Cassil was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

"But the Emperor ..."

“What about the Emperor?! So what if he gets angry?! My Frank didn't talk wrong. The monster is cursed and will not live long.”

Frank and Duke are put in jail, but it's not just because they're bothering the Crown Princess.

Of course, their words were controversial, but they could not be charged with treason with just that.

The punishment was simply too excessive compared to the level of their offense. There was no way the Emperor would not know about this.

Still, Tenstheon said they were plotting treason. Richard could guess Tenstheon's intentions.

“Emperor has declared war on us. We have to find a solution.”

The Emperor was trying to take out the Duke's past sins.

They put spies in the palace, criticized the Emperor, Crown Prince, Crown Princess and spread rumors about the Crown Prince among the public to mock him.

Furthermore, Arnold Cassil had planned to kill Tenstheon in the past.

When Blake is cursed, Duke Cassil's ambition grows. He wanted to kill Tenstheon and become the Emperor.

But Tenstheon quickly realized the situation and Arnold was forced to cancel his plan.

In addition, there are many other things they do that have not been revealed.

Although Richard warned him, the Duke remained calm.

“After all they have no proof. Aren't you responsible for getting rid of him?”

Arnold Cassil entrusted Richard to clean things up.

"No, but there's a very important witness left, isn't there?"

Tenstheon locks Duke Cassil in the Imperial Palace's Western Prison while Frank Cassil is sent to the Imperial Palace's underground Eastern Prison.

Frank was locked up in a place usually reserved for punishing prisoners. There were many tools to torture them and the facilities were poor.

Richard tries to get in and meet Frank, but he fails to bribe the knights guarding the prison.

Frank would definitely go crazy from being locked up in such a place and spilling it all out. When Duke Cassil understood Richard's intentions, he became enraged.

"Frank won't betray us!"

“Maybe he has betrayed us. He did not hesitate to betray people for his own benefit. Just put all the blame on him. ”

Duke Cassil slapped Richard.

“You b*bad bastard! What are you saying?!you always wanted Frank's place, didn't you?”

"It's not like that. I only suggested it to protect you.”

Richard meant. He had planned to get rid of Frank because Duke was more important.

Richard hated Duke and his family, but he needed their strength. He wants everything Duke Cassil has.

“Frank is ready to be the future Emperor! He is so precious! Just wait and see! The nobles will definitely side with me. Even if Tenstheon's influence was strong, he had no heirs. Now, the appeals demanding justice for me should have piled up! Marquis Westin also won't sit back and watch his son-in-law get hurt.”

He humiliated his daughter, but he believed Marquis Westin would help him?

“Just go from here! How humiliating!I will never forgive Tenstheon! He'll pay for this!"

“Your Majesty, calm down.you must blame Frank for your own good.”

Richard persuaded him once more.

Arnold hit him again.

“You b*ungrateful bastard! When you see Frank in trouble, you should have helped him! Did you forget why I brought you in? That's to help Frank! You were fed and raised thanks to Frank, so you have to repay him!”

“…”

“Bring me and Frank out of here today. Otherwise, I will get you out of the family!”

Richard left prison without answering.

***

Did he really think I would follow his demands? What's the point when Cassil will be destroyed?

Richard returned home in anger. Tenstheon is now holding Cassil hostage. With the fall of the Duke's family, Richard would not be able to become Emperor and the Cassil family would lose its position.

'So let's just kill Tenstheon.'
