I Became Crown Prince's Wife
Handsome Men and Ugly Women(7)

'The Crown Prince will forget about Ancia and just look at me. Everyone on this continent will praise me for being the most beautiful Crown Princess in the Empire's history.The account is so famous that every man wants to catch a glimpse of my face at least once.'

But imagination and reality are completely different. Instead of admiring Joanna's beauty, Blake did not even glance at her.

The future he dreamed of since childhood is slowly fading away.

“If I stay in the capital, I will marry you!”

Joanna cried out in despair, but Blake replied coldly.

"You tested my patience."

"Your highness…"

“You're going to marry me? How dare you think of taking over the place of Ancia?”

He's been angry.

She thought she would praise him by saying she was 100 times prettier than Ancia, so why would it be like this?

“K-Your Majesty...I mean..”.

She stuttered, thinking of an excuse, when suddenly Blake asked her.

"Where's Rose?"

"... Pavilion."

When Blake heard his reply, his expression changed.

“Pavilion? I told you Rose was my guest. Are you looking down on me? ”

“I-this is for you! He can infect you with his illness!”

"Disease…?"

Blake slowly becomes increasingly annoyed at Joanna, but Joanna is unaware of it.

“I heard you took the girl from the valley of chaos. He must have brought some kind of illness!you should not be fooled by him! ”

"My curse looks so much more terrible than her."

“I-not that.. I'm just worried about you.”.

"Goddess. Never show up in front of me again.”

“Your Majesty, I..!”

Joanna tried to think of another reason. However, when their eyes met, he had no choice but to close his mouth.

The servants walked in and placed a large mirror in the center of the room. Then, they quickly left after it was finished.Akuntidak get the mop cloth I asked for.

The dust that covered the room kept making me cough.I wanted to get out, but when I remembered people whispering about me, I hesitated.

I didn't want to make a fuss, so I held back and opened the window quietly. After searching every corner of the room, I found a mop under the bed.

Fortunately, the bathroom worked fine. Of course, the water was ice-cold, but it was insurmountable.

I cleaned every corner and corner one by one. It was really dusty and reminded me of the first time I moved into my own home.

While I was cleaning the table diligently, the door suddenly opened.

When I turned around, I saw Blake standing there. He looks angry.

He approached me and grabbed my hand.

"Why are you doing this?"

"It's okay."

"Your hands are cold."

"I'm totally fine."

“You should have come to me!you should have told me!why are you holding him? ”

'Your highness……'

“No, I'm sorry. I should have stayed with you.”.

I hugged Blake in a hug, wanting to comfort her and tell her not to blame herself.

"Sorry."

I shook my head at this apology. At the same time, a question came to my mind.

Why is he so good to me?

Joanna was absolutely beautiful as described in the original story, but Blake did not glance at her in the least.

"Let's get out of this room now."

Blake left the room, clasping my hand tightly.

As we passed by the servants in the hall, their eyes widened in shock.

As soon as we entered Blake's bedroom in the main building, he held my hand tightly and checked my condition.

"Are you hurt anywhere?"

'No. Nothing happened.'

I just cleaned up a little. In fact, I care more about his arm.

"My arm? It's fine now.”

He smiled lightly, but I was still worried.

Why would Ser let Blake's power remain intact?I felt uncomfortable when I remembered Rakshul suffering from Tancinol. Ser has the ability to bring it back.

"Do you want to see?"

'Yes.'

"So, you're trying to make me strip me."

“……”

'I'll just check for injuries!'

"I know."

He pulled his sleeve to reveal his wound. His arms had healed and looked as if he had never been injured in the first place.

“Don't stare too much. It's a shame.”

I was shocked and pulled my hand back.

But Blake smiled and grabbed my hand. His hands used to be very soft, but now became rough and became stronger over the years.

"Is there any other place you want to check?"

I hurriedly shook my head. I'm curious about the wound on the other arm, but since the wound on this arm has healed, the other one might be fine as well.

I pointed to the bathroom door.

I want to wash my hands.

"Do you want to take a shower?"

I shook my head.

I wanted to soak in the warm water, but I couldn't take a shower because Blake was still in the room.

"Do you want me to call the waiter?"

I shook my head. The disgust of the servants when they saw me was still fresh in my memory.I didn't want to show them my body.

"good. Then I'll prepare it for you.”

“……”

I shook my head again.

Blake was still as good as when we were younger. That was the first thing I noticed about him at the time. This aspect of him had not changed in the slightest despite it having been many years.

***

The waiter came and prepared my bath.

After taking off my clothes, I saw my thin body that was covered in scars.

Ser suffered severe burns from the Tenlarn Palace fire, and then he spent a thousand years in that hellish place.

There was no way he could stay sane.

And without the soul of the goddess, this body would not last long either. I don't blame Ser.

I just want him to keep his word after I die.

As I soaked in the warm water, the fatigue that had accumulated in my body seemed to slowly dissipate.

Why is Blake so good to me?

He didn't realize I was Ancia, did he?

I doubt that…

I can't speak or write and my appearance is different. There's no way he can recognize me.

After taking a shower, I changed into a new outfit left behind by the waiter.

The quality of the dress was very high, probably because Blake ordered it.

When I left the bathroom, a nice smell came into my nose.

The table in my room was filled with delicious food.

“Are you not hungry? Come here and eat. ”

'okay.'

"It hasn't been long since you recovered, so I told them to make snacks."

Taking care of Blake's food used to be my job, but now our position has been changed.

I realized once again that a lot of time had passed, and felt a little sad.

“What is delicious?”

I'm nodding.

Blake grinned as he gestured me to continue eating.

Surprisingly, he looked happier by the day. His smile was the same as when we were kids. While I was busy eating the salad, Blake suddenly said, "You must love perilla leaves."

Perilla leaf? It was one of the salad ingredients.

In the middle of lalapan, perilla leaves are also mixed. Before, I ate it often, even though I couldn't finish it.

“It's not unusual. People usually avoid it because of its unique aroma and taste.”

I used to grow perilla leaves in the Amoria Palace greenhouse.

Blake always admired me for eating perilla leaves. Not only in the Asteric Empire, there was no one in the entire continent who ate it.

Even then, people who like to eat perilla leaves are quite rare.

"I didn't know this was perilla leaf."

“You don't know?”

"It doesn't feel good."

I pushed the salad bowl to the side.

Did he deliberately test me with a salad with perilla leaves?

Did he realize I was Ancia?

No, that can't be true.

I finished my meal quickly and sipped tea in one gulp.

Blake smiled and said, "Your actions are the same as mine."
