I Became Crown Prince's Wife
Enter the world of Novel bag.7
.Blake had never left the palace before in his life because he was the heir to the curse. The Southerners were in a state of uneasiness and defiance due to the Crown Prince's curse.
Such a prince could not leave the palace and come out casually.
To Blake, the square was an unknown territory. It was a place he could only think of in his imagination, like the Valley of Chaos or the Snow Mountain in the north.
Furthermore, in novels, the square is always described as the source of all sorts of problems that lead to problematic events.
“Do not worry, our security is the best in the continent. In addition, Sir Edon went with him.”
"OK…"
“Is there anything else bothering you?”
Blake's gloomy expression did not subside, so Hans was worried as well.
“Ancia won't leave me, right?”
Blake continued to worry.
When Ancia first helped him take a bath, she hesitated when Blake told her not to leave him. It was only for a while, but Blake kept thinking about it.
Blake is afraid he might suddenly run away someday.
His life was filled with despair. Not long after his birth, his mother died and his father abandoned him. The servants hated him too.
Sure, his father showed sympathy, but when he saw the cursed sentence, he also ran away. Blake was used to losing, Despair was his old friend.
But when he thought about Ancia leaving him, he was terrified and his heart felt like it was torn to shreds even if he just thought about it.
Hans smiled as he looked at the boy who was standing with his head bowed.
There was fear in Blake's eyes. It was a better sign than his usual tired expression, although it would be better for him to smile.
“Your Majesty, don't worry. He will never leave you.”
Hans said confidently.
Hans had been observing Ancia closely. The world is full of baseless rumors surrounding the heir to the curse. Regardless of gender, age, status, they were making rumors just because the cursed sentence looked ominous.
However, even though Ancia was young, she was not affected by those false rumors.
Hans thought his loyalty to the Crown Prince was second to none, but he reflected on himself after seeing Ancia.
He has been defeated.
“Should I check them..?”
Blake's eyes glinted.
Immediately, when Hans said he was fine, his expression seemed bright.
Hans wondered how worried he was…
He hoped that the two of them would be happy for a long time.

I went to the blacksmith with Melissa and Edon and asked him to make a cauldron. The blacksmith was moved and filled with enthusiasm to accept the challenge after hearing my explanation and seeing the cauldron I drew.
I didn't expect them to be this enthusiastic, but he was so friendly and helpful.
When I walked out of the blacksmith's place after completing my request, Melissa asked, "Your Majesty, will you stop by somewhere else?"
"No. I want to go back to the palace.”
It was my first trip since I moved into Ancia's body. The view outside the carriage was great, and there were many places I wanted to visit. I was really thinking of looking around.
However, explaining the cauldron in detail took longer than expected. I don't want to make Blake worry. Besides, I don't want to look around the beautiful square without him.
When I returned to the Crown Prince's palace, the little bunny ran towards me and hugged my arm.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine."
I stroked her hair. It was a nice thing to have someone welcome me back home. I haven't felt this way since my grandmother died.
"Did something dangerous happen?"
“No, nothing happened. Are you worried?”
"Yes, you came home late. ”
I'm glad I got back to the palace soon.I almost made my husband late.
I clasped his hands and went into his room.I spent most of my time there because Blake's room was much more comfortable than mine.
I took off the mask as soon as I went into his room. Even though I had already dismissed all the bullying that was hostile to him, he was still wearing a mask the entire time.
"Why do you always try to take off my mask?"
“Because I want to see your handsome face.”
"Hehe. I'm also happy to see you.”
"You don't have to wear a mask when you're just the two of me."
"okay."
Blake held my hand tight. I felt like hugging her, especially today.
"Your Majesty, what happened while I was away?"
"Nothing happened."
"really?"
“...Frankly, I'm a little afraid you'll leave me.”
“….”
Contrary to his reassuring voice, his hands trembled. I can feel that he is still worried. I clasped his hands as tightly as possible in response.
"Don't worry. I'm not leaving you."
"really?"
Blake smiled brightly.
"Yes, I'll stay by your side. But if you have someone else you love, I'll be leaving soon.”
"What does that mean?"
His expression hardened instantly. Surprised by my answer, the corner of his mouth curved downwards.
“Your marriage to me is a political one, Your Majesty. It is not to your liking.You can find true love when you grow up. ”
The tradition of the Asteric Empire was to arrange child marriages early on. Mainly, the higher the status, the faster the marriage would be arranged. Most of the time, marriages between royal families and nobles are arranged for political gain, so they often cheat or get divorced in the end.
To prevent such a thing from happening, I want to give him the freedom to make other choices.
Ancia and Blake only had a small wedding and did not announce it at church. It's also possible to get divorced if we want to.
“I don't want.I'll just have Ancia.”
Blake spoke in a low voice.
“Once you become an adult and your curse is gone, you will become very handsome. I'm sure all the beautiful women will love you.”
Blake would love Diana so much among them. But suddenly, Blake said firmly, "Ancia is the prettiest girl I've ever met."
"Hey, you'll change your mind when you grow up."
“It won't change.”
“You are young. That will change.”
"Wife."
Blake cut my words. I looked at him with a surprised expression. This is the first time he's called me 'wife'.
“You are my only wife, Ancia. And I will be the only husband you have.”
"Your highness…"
“Wife, remember this, I don't need another girl. Do you need another man?"
I thought he was just a child, but Blake emitted a powerful force that I could not fight back and his gaze was fixed on me.
I shook my head subconsciously, as if I had been bewitched by it.
“No, I don't.”
But what followed was my losing streak.
"All I need is you."
Diana was the only one who could lift her curse. I didn't want to cross the line, but I didn't know that I really wanted to stay with Blake.
But.It's dangerous.I can't do this.
I tried to calm myself down again, but Blake hugged me tightly.
“Stay with me until I die.”
“……”
"I'm sorry for being so greedy."
As soon as I heard his confession, my heart warmed and tears streamed down my eyes.
“You will not die! Who will die?”
“Ancia, I'm fine. So don't cry.”
“You will not die!I will break your curse! I'll make it happen!”
“Ancia.”
“I am a member of the Bellacian family who has the power of light.I will find a way, so don't worry about that and live happily. ”
"Yes, I'll do it, so don't cry,"
Blake wiped my tears with his sleeve.
“Do not.Your clothes will be dirty.”
"It's okay."
“Ah, I have to take a shower. I'll get some water. Your Majesty, I will also bathe you.”
I immediately got up from my seat.
“My wife always tries to undress me..”.
“You should have said I helped you take a shower. And now, undress.”
I immediately fixed his sentence, and for some reason, there was a calm smile on his face.
Again, Blake's face flushed. I've helped her shower a few times before, but she's still shy like this.
"Ancia, you are the most beautiful when you smile. Your smile is the most beautiful thing."
I clasped his hand as the door suddenly opened and Hans walked in.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has returned!"
Tenstheon, Blake's father and the most powerful Emperor in the Empire's history finally returned to the palace.
