I Became Crown Prince's Wife
Handsome Men and Ugly Women(5)
"Be careful, Your Majesty."
Blake has the power of light, but due to an accident that happened not too long ago, Edon remains by his side.
“Stay in the back. You're blocking my path.”
Blake told Edon bluntly, but Edon did not give up and instead approached him.
“Your Majesty, the Valley of Chaos has always been unstable since the Door of Darkness was closed. There are many rocks here, and earthquakes are not uncommon. It would be better not to walk around until the ground stabilizes. ”
“….”
Many changes seemed to have occurred in the Valley of Chaos after Ser's curse was lifted and the Door of Darkness disappeared
Edon's words were very logical, but Blake said nothing.
He was silent, as if denying Edon's words.
Edon sighed, but he no longer persuaded Blake.
"Your Majesty, let's rest in Vallin today."
Vallin is the closest place to the Valley of Chaos.
"We don't have time to waste in that place."
“We can stay there all night. Aren't you hurt? ”
“It healed.”
"Miss Rose must be tired."
When Blake heard that, he turned around and looked at me.
"Is he tired?"
“Riding a horse requires a lot of stamina. This is very difficult for those who are not used to it. Isn't that right, Miss Rose?”
Edon looked at me with hopeful eyes, urging me to say yes.
I nodded quickly.
"We're going to Mr. Vallin's land."
At that moment, Blake changed his goal.
***
"I greet Your Majesty."
When we reached the estate, Master Vallin, Viscount Dix, the knights and servants all came out to meet us.
The scene is the same as in the original novel. Now that I knew that this was not just a fictional world, the detailed information I remembered from the novel was very useful.
Perhaps 'The Beast and the Lady' was written by someone who had experienced this world once, or at least, someone connected to this world.
So I can't ignore the original story, because it's not just a novel. Everything is the same except the people around me.
“Thank you for welcoming us in such short time.”
Blake greeted him with confidence.
When I compared this moment to when she was humiliated by everyone around her, my heart was moved.
“Ah!”
The woman standing next to him suddenly shouted.
Following his shout, everyone's gazes turned to me.
Viscount Dix tried to rectify the situation and introduced the woman with an awkward smile.
"This is my daughter, Joanna."
“I greet Your Majesty. Sorry, I was just surprised when I saw your wound.”
He covers himself skillfully, but I know better. He screamed like that because he was surprised to see me. He screamed as his eyes met mine.
"Your Majesty, are you hurt?"
"No."
"Your Majesty was indeed chosen by the goddess."
Viscount Dix said so and laughed. Joanna chimed in too.
"As expected, Your Majesty is amazing."
Joanna Dix is a supporting character in 'The Beast and Lady'.
She was extremely beautiful, but she had a deep complex about the fact that she was the daughter of Viscount Dix.
Joanna approaches Richard to raise his status, and Richard also becomes interested in him because of his ambitions.
Richard thought he had found a friend similar to him. But once he realized he was greedy, incompetent and stupid, he quickly abandoned that thought. In the end, Richard used it as a mere tool and ended up throwing it away once he was no longer useful to her.
"We're going to have a big welcoming party for you."
"I'm tired."
"Your majesty!"
When Blake resolutely rejected the offer of the viscount, Edon was shocked and called out to him subconsciously.
“Hahaha, of course you must be tired. Joanna, deliver the Crown Prince to his room.”
"Yes" replied Joanna gracefully.
Then, the butler said, "The knights can follow me."
I was just wondering what to do when suddenly, Blake grabbed my hand.
“Come away, Rose.”
***
The weather is cold and the ground is barren. Even monsters often came because they were near the Valley of Chaos. Vallin is one of the poorest estates with a small population, but the interior of the mansion is very colorful.
"Rose, are you hurt anywhere?"
'No, I'm fine.'
He is as sweet as when we were young.
I didn't think so at first because he was rude and rude to the knights, but he was very kind and considerate to women.
'Your Majesty, you must be ti—.'
I was going to ask Blake if he was tired, but suddenly Joanna said, "Your Majesty, you look so much better if you look at it in person."
Irritation appeared in Blake's eyes.
"Can't you see we're talking?"
“A-I'm sorry..”
When Joanna stopped, Blake looked at me again.
"Huh? What do you want to say? Tell me again."
Her voice sounded so sweet that it was hard to say that she snapped with such fury just a moment ago.
“Am I tired?”
I nodded and Blake smiled beautifully.
“I'm glad you're worried about me.”
Why would he do this?
Joanna suddenly stopped walking and said, "Your Majesty, you can stay in this room."
He pointed to a room at the end of the hall.
It could not hold the candle to the Imperial palace, but the decorations on the door were quite good.
"I understand."
"Miss Rose, you will be guided to your room by my servant."
"I want Rose's room to be on the same floor as mine."
"Your Majesty, this place is restricted."
Joanna's right. Blake was only given special permission by the owner of the mansion because he was the Crown Prince.
The Empire's Knights even live in the library, so I, who don't have any identity, don't have the right to be here.
I pulled Blake's shirt. I don't want to be known as a stubborn girl who doesn't know her place.
"Rose, is it okay?"
I quickly nodded.
“Rose is someone important to me, so take good care of him.”
“Yes, Your Grace. Miss Rose, please follow me. ”
The maid Joanna answered politely.
***
As Joanna and I walked down the aisle, the waiters who saw us froze.
"Who is that?"
"That's the woman that the Crown Prince brought back."
"really?"
"Yes, I saw it before."
"Why did he bring that disgusting man?"
"I don't know."
They were gossiping while looking at me with disdain.
When I was with Blake, I didn't care about my scars at all, but seeing the reactions of others made me realize.
"That's right here."
As soon as Blake was not among us, the waiter quickly changed his attitude.
As I walked with my head down, I heard someone say from behind me.
"What's!? Even if he was the Crown Prince, he was too selfish!”
Joanna walked towards me in anger.
The servants noticed this and either slowly disappeared or turned around and started wiping the windows.
Joanna doesn't care about the servants. He just looked at me.
“Nani, where are you going?”
"We're going to the fourth-floor library."
"You're letting him stay in the library?"
"Yes…."
The babysitter looked at Joanna and nodded.
"Take him to the pavilion."
"Pavilions?"
"Yes." Yeah."
“Ah, but—“
“Do you complain? Are you going to be responsible if he brings some kind of illness?”
Joanna looked at me with disdain.
The nanny hurriedly lowered her head.
“No, miss. I'll take him to the pavilion soon.”
***
"Here we are."
As soon as we got into the room, the nanny coughed.
The room was full of dust as it was left unused for a long time.
“Then, rest.”
I grabbed the nanny's clothes when she was about to go out.
"Oh my God!"
She screamed as if I was spreading my illness to her, even though she was cleaning her clothes with my right hand, which had no scars. I immediately let go of my hand and pretended to wipe the table.
It doesn't matter if the room is small. It was smaller than my room in the Amoria Palace, but it was much wider than my room in Korea.I wasn't stuck in a closed tower on all sides like a thousand years ago.
However, it was quite difficult to breathe with all the dust piling up inside the room.
I tried to ask for a mop and the nanny said fine, but I didn't know if she understood my words or not.
I'll open the window when suddenly, the door opens.
I looked up to see Joanna looking at me.
“You did something? They say you were taken from the Valley of Chaos?”
He came to do my background check.
His expression was full of hostility towards me.
In the original story, Joanna was jealous of Diana because of Richard.
He did not bother her, instead he immediately tried to kill her.
Richard knew about it, but instead of stopping him, he took it as an opportunity to get closer to Diana.
Just like a thousand years ago, Phillip's habit of using women to achieve his goals really upset me.
“You're terrible. Don't mistake good deeds for something else! Who do you think will accept a monster like you?”
Why should I listen to this shit?
"You're not polite."
"What's?you can't say anything? ”
Joanna laughed and mocked me. Unlike Blake, he had no intention of seeing what I wanted to say. So even if I protested, she wouldn't bother reading my lips.
"Nanny, put a mirror in this room, so this monster doesn't dream of silly things."
He insulted me and went out.
