I Became Crown Prince's Wife
Tears Light bag.5

Blake finally said what he wanted. I hugged him tightly.

"I'm sorry, I should've been more attentive."

I think Blake doesn't like this place because it holds a lot of bad memories before. He had been locked up in a small palace far away just because he was cursed, so I thought he didn't like this place.

I think he would love to move to the Forens Palace, located in the middle, and throw a big party for him where everyone respects him.

I didn't know that his heart was still full of wounds that hadn't fully recovered.

“No, it's not something to regret, Ancia. I don't want to leave this place.I know this is very childish, but I have many precious memories in this place.”

"Blake, you're precious too."

I can't let Blake stay in this little palace. The nobles would mock him even more because of that.

“This place will not disappear even if we move to the palace of Forens. We will often come here.”

"Are we going to come here often?"

"Yes, let's make this our own secret castle."

“Come do that!”

The smile finally returned to Blake's face.

Fortunately, the atmosphere seemed to have subsided.

He took my hand and we left the palace together, hand in hand.

The wedding rings on our fingers glisten gently in the sun.

“Now, two days later, Diana will be here.”

"okay."

Diana heard that Blake's curse had been lifted so she tried to directly rush to the palace.

However, the students of the Knight Academy were not allowed to exit at this time as this was the final exam season.

So, Blake stopped Diana from coming immediately, and told her to wait until her exam was over.

"I heard he did a good test."

"Huh? Did you call Diana? ”

"Yes, he sent me a letter."

"What did Diana say?"

I wonder what they're talking about.

“Now after my curse is lifted, we will fight for real.”

"Well…"

“So I said I would definitely win.”

The conversation between the female protagonist and the second male lead was very cool.

"Haha, by the way, is he going to bring Jayden?"

“Jayden? Who's that?"

“Friends classmate Diana. Diana considered him her rival. He's a regular guy but he's up in class. Isn't he great?”

“Edon is also an accomplished student.”

“Yes, they're both great. Come to think of it, they are both the oldest in their family.”

"really?"

“Yes, they are both tall and very popular as freshmen. Jayden is a little outspoken but he's good.”

Jayden's topic always appears in Diana's letters. But it's been a long time since Diana wrote me a letter, so I wonder how she's doing.

“Oh and Jayden hate mushrooms. Don't you hate him too?”

“No, I'm good at eating mushrooms now.”

"Hey, you barely ate it when I didn't mix it with an omelet."

“No, I don't!”

Blake was suddenly angry.

“Then, will you eat the fried mushrooms I will make tomorrow?”

"Yes!"

"really?"

"Yes, I'll eat it all!"

"Okay, we're having a mushroom party tomorrow."

“...yes, I look forward to it.”

Blake smiled awkwardly.

“Diana says that Jayden has been aspiring to be Crown Prince's knight ever since he joined the academy. He also said it was foolish to believe that the Crown Prince was a monster just because he was cursed. So maybe, he can be a good friend to you.”

Fortunately, not everyone thought Blake was a monster.

The people from the Amorian court, Tenstheon, Eunhan, Baekhan, Collin, Countess Chardin, and me. There might be others as well but they were the ones who truly respected Blake as the Crown Prince.

Jayden too.

“Blake, you will meet many people in the future, I'm sure some of them will be good.I'm sure some of them really support you regardless of the curse you had before. ”

“….”

“So, I hope you don't hate them all. Some people really good.”

Blake hates strangers, especially when they touch her.

He also said he did not want to dance with anyone else.

“I am the Crown Prince of Asteri Kingdom, so I am sure I will meet many people later. But, all I need is Ancia.”

Blake took my hand and spoke to me.

“Alright, I will always be there for you.”

As we smiled at each other while holding hands, a pillar of red fire suddenly appeared.

[Armh!!]

I closed my ears when I heard that scream.

The screams became louder as the flames appeared.

“Ancia!”

"…Yes.Yes."

I realized after hearing Blake's voice.

The woman screamed again.

"What's wrong? Are you all right?"

"Nothing, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. Let's go to the bedroom.”

"Yes." Yeah."

Blake and I went to our bedroom. Blake's curse was lifted, so we don't have to hold hands anymore.

But we were still asleep next to each other with our hands clutched together.

I couldn't sleep well today.

I woke up after making sure Blake was asleep.

I touched his face.

Tenstheon must have arrived at the Valley of Chaos by now. He should have used the power of light to seal the Dark Door this time.

Normally, when the Emperor used the power of light, the Heir to the Curse would be affected.

But this time, Blake did not get sick and did not have a fever.

Initially, Tenstheon lost his life due to Richard's trick and Arnold Cassil became Emperor.

Now it's all over. There will be no tragedy now.

But why am I so nervous?

The woman's screams grew louder.I still remember what happened there clearly.

Whatisit?

Laontel Bellacian is a light wizard, he's Prince Rakshul's fiancee, but he ends up with Emperor Phillip.

The woman shouted Laontel's name.

So he must have lived a thousand years ago.

What fire did I see today as a glimpse of the fire of Tenlarn Palace?

Why do I keep seeing things that happened a thousand years ago?

I went to the library and reread books on Zelcan history. However, I did not find any meaningful clues.

***

In the third year after Richard became Emperor, the Door of Darkness opened.

Richard heads to the Valley of Chaos after saying goodbye to Diana and her son, George.

He saw the Dark Door for the first time. In the middle of the valley, stood something that looked like the mouth of a monster.

He felt nauseous just by looking at it.

Richard used a ring of light that only the Emperor had. The ring was emitting light into the thing.

The Dark Door fought hard. It usually takes about five days to seal the Door of Darkness.

But it won't last more than a week. Tenstheon also normally closed the Door of Darkness within three days.

But Richard had a hard time.

'Is it because he is a Roum? Is it because he has the blood of a sinful Roum and not the nobles of the Geracillions?'

As time went on, Richard felt another sense of inferiority emerge within him.

The people who went there with him also felt uncomfortable looking at him.

"Why so long?"

“The current emperor does not have the pure blood of Geracillion. That's why the Goddess of Light makes this harder for her.”

"What's? But Emperor Asteris was the only one responsible for closing the door. How can a man who can't even close the door become an Emperor?”

“That's not the case now. If the Door of Darkness opens, the world will perish.”

Thas right.

Even the people in the Imperial palace were anxious when they saw him.

Richard wanted to kill all of them after this, just because they saw him bewildered as he could not close the door. He could not keep these people who knew this side of him alive.

Richard gritted his teeth.

He did not sleep and poured out all the power he could use.

After a month of struggle, he finally managed to close the door.

When the Door of Darkness closed, people lowered their heads in honor of Richard.

In the end, Richard gave up the idea of killing them and returned in a good mood.
