I Became Crown Prince's Wife
Tears of Light bag.1
Richard came to that conclusion after a long time of thinking about how to deal with this situation. If he killed Tenstheon and got rid of Frank, the next Emperor would be Arnold Cassil.
It would be easy for him to become Emperor if he controlled the incompetent Arnold Cassil from the shadows and cared for Neon.
As Duke Cassil said, Tenstheon's weakness was Blake. If there was a way to overcome the curse, Tenstheon could be easily controlled.
Tenstheon spread rumors that the curse would be lifted. The nobles who protested were also in disbelief.
But Tenstheon's words were a double-edged sword.
If the Crown Prince's curse is not lifted in time, there will be a counterattack. There was no way Tenstheon would not notice it. He was still spreading rumors even though he knew it. Blake is clearly in critical condition.
Richard thought about Blake.
Although Blake was cursed, Richard was still a little envious of him. After all, he was loved by Tenstheon and Ancia.
I have to kill him this time.
“Domiram.”
"Yes sir." Domiram replied while standing with his head lowered.
“Then, we have to make another rumor. This time the rumors had to go into the Emperor's ears. Spread it to the whole square.”
“What's okay?”
Domiram noticed that Richard looked anxious unlike his usual self.
“It's okay. I was too careful last time. Besides, it's the right time now. There are many people who have entered the country from outside to enjoy the festival, so it will not be easy to trace the source of the rumors.”
"Of course, it's a little dangerous."
“That's no problem. I'll kill the Emperor soon.”
Richard had to get rid of Tenstheon. He respected Tenstheon, but Tenstheon interfered with his goal, so he couldn't keep him alive.
The door opened and Richard's servant rushed in.
"Your Majesty!"
"What's the problem?"
"The Crown Prince's curse has been lifted!"
"What?"
Richard doubted his ears. The Crown Prince's curse has been lifted?
No way!
Wasn't the curse supposed to be lifted 7 years later according to rumors?
"Not even 7 years but it's been lifted?"
“There's a message from John. The Crown Prince's curse has been lifted, so the atmosphere of the palace is festive.”
John is the spy Richard put in the Crown Prince's palace.
He's not the kind of guy who talks shit.
Was that true at the time?
What the hell's going on?
The curse has been around for years, but no one can lift it.
But now it's suddenly lifted?
Is the rumor that Ancia was sent by the Goddess of Light true?
While Richard was in chaos, the sound of horses came from outside.
Richard looked at the window.
The knights of the Imperial court rushed into Cassil's house. They were led by Collin, the Emperor's aide.
Frank, that moron, spilled it all out in less than a day.
"Master, let's avoid them for now."
"No, I'll go to them."
If I run away now, it will end for me.
When the Cassil family collapses, he'll be dragged along with them.
Better to die than live as a ruined nobleman, commoner, or slave of Roum.
Duke Cassil and Frank are locked up in prison, while the Duchess and Neon hide in a room in fear.
Richard greeted the knights alone as the family representative.
"What brings you here?"
Richard decided to buy some time first. They won't be able to investigate based on Frank's words. Of course, it would happen in the end, but he needed to buy some time to hide the evidence left behind in the mansion.
However, the leader immediately ordered his subordinates without even greeting him.
"Catch Richard Cassil."
"What does this mean?!"
Richard was surprised.
Collin, who was standing next to the leader, said, "A report arrived this morning saying that Richard Cassil bribed the guards and tried to contact a criminal."
Richard saw a smile on Collin's mouth. He had fallen into Tenstheon's trap.
He thinks Tenstheon deliberately set Frank up to get Arnold Cassil. But that was him all along.
Tenstheon set up a trap to catch him, the real mastermind.
He realized too late.
The Cassil family is done. Richard closed his eyes tightly.
***
I looked at Blake's face.
That cursed sentence was completely gone so that my heart was filled with joy.
I spent many days suffering for the reason why the curse was suddenly lifted.
It was a kiss.
He kissed me while we were looking at fireworks. Maybe that's why the curse was lifted.
'The Beast and the Lady' is an R-19 novel based on the story of Beauty and the Beast.
The story of the cursed prince or princess and their lover is very common in fairy tales.
To lift the curse, they need the kiss of true love.
The kiss could bring the beast or frog back to his once handsome self in the fairy tale world, and even wake the beautiful princess.
The answer is 'kiss'
Why am I just realizing it now?
The original novel is also the problem!
But there's no point in getting angry now.
I held Blake's hand firmly and kissed his.
"A-Ancia, what's wrong?"
“My husband is so handsome that I can't help myself.why?Do you hate him?”
"No! I'm just a little embarrassed..”
Blake's face flushed.
He looks even sweeter.
“What makes you ashamed?”
"You look too closely ..."
“But we meet every day?”
“So it's embarrassing every day.”.
Blake rubbed his cheek into my hand and looked at me.
He said he was embarrassed but his behaviour showed otherwise.
I've felt it, but I realized that my husband's personality might be different from what he showed me.
"…I'm ashamed of ."
I smiled and rubbed his red ears.
No matter what I said before. He really is a plain rabbit.
I lightly patted her fluttering silver hair.
But there is one strange thing.
Before Blake's curse was lifted, I had a dream.
A dream in which I walked into the forest with Blake, who was already an adult.
Her hair is black there.
Why do I dream about that?
It might not mean much because it was just a dream, but somehow, I felt very disturbed by it.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and Melissa came in.
"Your Majesty, Viscountess Perion has arrived."
"good. Blake, come. We have to get dressed.”
Ten days later, a feast will be held to celebrate the rapture of the curse.
There's a lot to be prepared for because it'll be Blake's official debut into the community.
"I greet His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Crown Princess."
Next to the Viscountess stood a small child.
He was lavishly laid out, as if ready to attend a royal feast.
Who'sisthis?
As I stared, Viscountess Perion smiled brightly and introduced the girl.
“This is my daughter, Sharon. Sharon, please. Greet them."
"H-hello."
Sharon bowed for a while and it seemed like she could not take her eyes off Blake.
Viscountess Perion scolded her, “Sharon! Be polite!"
"Huh?"
“Haha, I'm sorry. Sharon was a kid, so she was a little hard to control.”
Sharon will be 10 this year. Even though he was obviously still a child, he was old enough to welcome us well.
What's more, this is the age at which they usually get married.
I was 10 when I married Blake.
“When Sharon heard the Crown Prince's curse had been lifted, she wanted to congratulate him. So I brought her here.”
Oh my, is that it?
The viscountess had never brought her daughter even once before.
Although she is a rich woman with a lot of social connections due to her beautiful appearance and excellent social skills, according to rumors, she is trying hard to try to marry off her daughter to Neon, duke Cassil's third son.
But now that Blake's curse has been lifted and Cassil's family is facing a crisis, it looks like he's completely dispelled those thoughts.
She thought about bringing her daughter closer to Blake.
The nobles once hated Blake as a cursed monster, but now, Blake's status had changed.
He was now the imposing Crown Prince of the Asteris Empire.
“Sharon-ku is one year younger than His Majesty. Your Majesty, isn't this the first time you've seen a girl younger than His Majesty? Isn't he old?”
