I Became Crown Prince's Wife
Tears Light bag.4

I saw the 'Tears of Light'.

Tenlarn Palace, golden halls, stone slabs, Phillip, Laontel, the cry of a woman, and the Tears of Light.

Maybe all of this is somehow connected.

But the curse of the Goddess has been lifted.

Cassils will be destroyed.

Everything has been settled, but I still feel like I missed something important.

Suddenly, the door of the study room opened and Collin entered.

“Your Majesty!”

As soon as I heard the urging in his voice, my heart started to beat fast.

Tenstheon asked nervously, "What happened?"

"The door of Darkness is open!"

***

When the Door of Darkness in the Valley of Chaos opens, the world will be destroyed.

The Emperor of the Asteri Empire was responsible for closing the Door of Darkness.

"I have to go now.I'm sorry."

Blake shook his head at Tenstheon's apology.

“It's okay, don't worry. Just go away."

"Yes." Yeah."

Tenstheon replied but he hesitated to leave. Collin.

"Your Majesty, we're running out of time."

The longer they stopped, the more Dark Doors would open.

"I'll be right back."

“Yes, we will wait for you. Careful, Father.”

“You don't need to rush. Ancia and I will be fine, so don't worry.”

"Yes, I'll be careful."

I know what Tenstheon is worried about.

To seal the Door of Darkness, he needed the power of light.

But, the more the Emperor used the power of light, the more painful it was for the Heir of the Curse.

But Blake is no longer cursed, so what will happen now?

If Tenstheon used that power, would it affect Blake?

Or will nothing happen since the curse was lifted?

I'm worried about that too.

There is no scene like this in the original story.

I hope everything will be okay.

***

Nothing's gonna happen. Everything's gonna be fine.

Although I tried to think so, I still rummaged through the history books in the Imperial palace anxiously.

A thousand years ago, even during the Zelcan Empire, the Door of Darkness had opened.

How did they stop him at that time?

But all the books in the Zelcan Empire era have been lost so I can't find any information about them.

“It'll be fine. We'll be fine."

I left the library with a heavy heart.

Then, I saw Collin staggering from afar like a zombie.

"Mr Collin!"

"Your majesty."

He looked at me and bowed,

"You stay up all night again?"

The dark circles under Collin's eyes deepened again.

"No…"

“You look very tired.”

"Your Majesty heads to the Valley of Chaos without sleep, so I can't be like this."

Tenstheon had entrusted Collin with all his duties before leaving the palace.

Now that the Emperor and the knights had left the capital, Collin's burden was increasing even more.

"Have you eaten?"

"I take special nutritional supplements to keep myself awake."

"That's not enough. Do you want me to make you food?”

“It's a great honor to taste your food, but I thought I'd fall asleep when the food got into my stomach.”

“You should really sleep. You look very tired.”

“Still tolerable. Your Majesty has given me an important task.I have to do my job.”

Colin was always like that.

When he was with Tenstheon, he would complain about this and that, but he would always show his respect to Tenstheon when he was in front of others.

"Mr Collin is a really good man."

“Please say that once again when Your Majesty returns. Your praise is stronger than a thousand letters of recommendation. ”

“He already knew without me saying it. You know how much he trusts and relies on you, right?”

"Well…"

"Why? Am I wrong?"

“She said she would give me a vacation after the Cassil family issue was over.”

“That's great news!”

"Is he trying to get rid of me?"

“That's not true.you've worked hard Mr. Collin, so he's paying attention by giving you a vacation.

“It's the first time I've been given a vacation, so I'm a little nervous. What if my position is taken over by the time I get back from vacation?”

"What should I do if Your Majesty no longer needs me?"

"Enough."

I cut her words firmly. All Collin had to worry about now was that he was overworked, not unemployed.

“You think of such nonsense, so you must be sleep deprived. Rest now!”

"No!"

"I command you as the Crown Princess!"

I immediately ordered a cook to prepare a warm soup to give to him after he woke up. After I forced her to sleep, I checked the documents she was working on.

Among them were documents sent by Marquis Westin.

It was a report to tell the Emperor that he was trying to break off the engagement between Frank and his daughter, but the Cassil family refused.

No matter how high ranked a noble was, they were not obliged to report to the Emperor except when they were engaged or divorced.

This report was only to show the Emperor that the Westin family wanted to sever their ties with the Cassil family.

In the original novel, they were married.

Everything has changed…

First, Westin accepted this marriage because they wanted their daughter to be Empress.

With the Cassil family devastated, there was no way they would continue their engagement.

"Your Majesty, I want to go home .. please let me go ..."

Collin spoke in his sleep as he slept on the sofa.

It's nice to see her return to normal office worker mode, where she dreams of coming home from work, instead of fearing losing her job.

“Blake, what about the furniture? What about white? Should we use soothing colors?”

We are preparing to move.

When Blake is cursed, he is placed in a distant palace. But now that the curse was lifted, there was no reason to stay there anymore.

Tenstheon gave us the Palace of Forens, which was right next to Sephia Palace, and we were scheduled to move in right after the dance.

But there's a little problem.

“Choose the one you like.”

"What do you think, Blake?"

"I like whatever you choose."

Blake smiled brightly. It's always been like this.

From lighting to furniture, Blake never commented anything.

Even if I asked, he would just say to choose whatever I wanted.

“I'm the only one who has chosen everything so far.you did it again this time. ”

"No, you did."

“Ugh.”

Then, Blake clasped my hand.

“You like to pick something up, don't you, Ancia?I want to stay in a place full of things you love.”

"...But do you really not want to choose anything?"

"What you want is what I want."

“Then let's vote together. Because I also like what you like.”

"okay."

Blake smiled in response.

We chose furniture during the day and practiced dancing together at night.

When the dance will be held after Tenstheon returns, I will dance for the first time with Blake.

I thought it was just a dream.

I don't think that's possible.

But that day will soon come.

Blake and I dance together a lot. Maybe because we've been training together for three years, but we're doing very well together.

"Ancia, you're very good at this."

"really? Isn't my move a little awkward?”

"No, you're really good."

“That's because you led me so well.I thought I would make a mistake if I danced with someone else.”

I'll take the next step, when Blake stops me.

"Do you need to dance with others?"

“After the first dance with you, I have to dance with another man and you also have to dance with another girl.”

It was the basic etiquette we had to follow while attending the dance.

But Blake's shoulder drooped.

"You jealous?"

"Yes." Yeah."

I would tease her a little but she nodded instead.

“...you will dance with others.”

"Blake, you also have to dance with other girls."

“I don't want it. I just want to dance with Ancia.”

“You are the Crown Prince.you cannot do that.”

“I still don't want it. Everyone hated me before, so why should I dance with them now?”

“Blake..”.

“All I need is Ancia. I just want to stay here with you.I don't like other places. I like it here. I don't want to go..”
