I Became Crown Prince's Wife
Handsome Men and Ugly Women(8)

He has noticed.

“When he drinks tea, he always adds a spoonful of lemon jam and rock sugar.”

He still remembers that.

Blake carefully put down his teacup and got up from his chair to approach me.

“Rose, I'll ask you again. You know me, don't you?”

“……”

"You call me Blake."

“……”

“You also know Edon.”

“……”

“You cried as soon as I got hurt.you worry about me and blame yourself. ”

“……”

“I'll ask you again.Who are you?"

He didn't just ask who I was. He asked me if I was Angia or not.

Blake looked. Just like in our childhood, her gaze at me was full of warmth.

Then, I realized why he was so good to me. That's not sympathy.

He thinks I'm Ancia. Even if I had a different face, and no longer had the power of light, he still recognized me.

"Tell me."

'I…'

“When I say a name, just nod your head if it's you.”

Blake will understand. He'll believe I'm Ancia.

I tried to answer, but suddenly my body went limp and my vision blurred.

"Rose!"

Blake caught me when I fell.

I felt so dizzy that I couldn't say anything. Even sitting in a chair feels heavy.

"Laying. Rest for now.”

Blake hugged me and helped me get into bed.

This is Blake's bed. I'm not supposed to sleep here. It was my last thought before the dizziness took over completely and I lost consciousness.

***

Blake called the doctor immediately. The doctor simply said there were no abnormalities and Rose fainted from temporary weakness.

It was the same as what Blake saw. After Blake's curse was lifted, he gained the power of light and although it was different from being a doctor, he could measure a person's illness.

There is nothing wrong with Rose physically.

Blake remembers the first time he met her.

Three months after his arrival in the valley of chaos, he saw someone faint in front of the door of darkness. When he first arrived, he tried to open the door of darkness, but the tightly shut door did not move regardless of whether he used force or even the power of light.

Blake himself was desperate while the entire continent rejoiced because the door of darkness was permanently closed.

While wandering aimlessly around the dark door, he saw a woman with white hair.

'Ancia?'

Blake approached the woman. But his hopes turned to disappointment. None of his features were like Ancia.

Then, he opened his eyes.

His eyes were as blue as the sea. The woman's pupils widened and her mouth moved faintly.

'Blake.'

He must have mentioned his name. He only had the movement of his mouth, but he understood it.

Blake took him back to the tent. The knights who saw the right side of the beautiful woman's face were astonished, but those who saw the left side of her face first shouted.

Blake laid them in the tent, ignoring their reaction.

Ancia's body always had a warm glow emitting from it. In the past, Blake thought it was because he felt comfortable, but now he could see the light. Angia has the power of light.

His strength was strong enough that it could be felt even when just holding hands. But this woman is different.

He has no power.

Did he……

Blake transferred some of his strength to him, but his scar took too long to heal by him.

The woman soon recovered, but she was unable to speak or write.

Angie is a polyglot. She knew every language in the world, but this woman didn't even know how to write her name.

He's not Ancia…

All the facts point to the fact that he's not Ancia. Everyone knew his face, so he was not special if he recognized his face. Moreover, when he said his name earlier, it was unclear. He only glimpsed the shape of his mouth for a moment.

If it wasn't Ancia, she couldn't be bothered by it.

Many women had approached Blake in those 7 years, but he was never interested.

However, the woman in front of him slowly grew more and more similar to Ancia. Especially when she was depressed and crying for him. He could not ignore this coincidence.

Blake comforts him, and then he leaves him and goes to his own tent. The woman's face kept appearing in her mind. Even though she doesn't look like Ancia, she's attracted to her. He named the woman Rose. It was a precious flower that only he gave to Ancia. The word was forbidden to others, yet he thought it was okay for this woman.

Blake's hesitation slowly turned into certainty. From his expression when injured, the way he ate perilla leaves naturally, to his habit of putting lemon jam and rock sugar into his tea, everything he did was similar to Ancia.

"But why is he so weak."

Blake sent a force of light to her as she lay unconscious.

Rose's breathing was somewhat stable and she began to relax, her face slightly glowing.

His eyelids trembled and he slowly opened his eyes.

Blake's heart sank for a moment.

Her eyes were the same as those of Ancia.

He could not explain what was so objectively similar, but he instinctively sensed it.

Blake stroked his cheek.

"Are you okay?"

Rose nodded.

Blake touched his forehead to check his body temperature.

Her hand rubbed Rose's scar but she didn't care about it.

Suddenly, he heard a commotion outside.

"There's an order not to let anyone in!"

"Forget it, who do you think I am? Move aside! Your Honor, this is Joanna. There's something I want to tell you!"

“You can't!”

"Surge! How dare you touch me!”

The door was opened and Joanna stepped in.

"I'm not polite. Were you not taught any etiquette? ”

Joanna is startled by her cold response but she does not give up and yells while pointing at Jayden, who also goes in to stop her.

"Your Majesty, the knight dared disrespect me ..."

“No respect?”

Blake's gaze became even colder.

"Do you think you have a higher status than the knights in the imperial palace?"

“Yah-i-..!”

She was the only daughter of the Viscount.

As the most respected woman in this land, all she wanted was for everyone to look at her and bow before her.

Countless nobles in the capital had kneeled before him to propose. She could even become the wife of the Marquis if she wanted to.

The man with red hair was merely a knight in the imperial palace.

Jayden looked down and tried to pull Joanna out of the room.

Joanna yells urgently.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute!"

“I said I don't want to see your face anymore, right? Did you forget that?”

Blake's getting angry. However, Joanna could only see Rose's presence in bed.

Why is he lying in bed?

Originally, it was a bed that he was supposed to share with the Crown Prince.

Blake will definitely fall in love with Joanna.

If the Crown Prince spent just one passionate night with Joanna, he would forget all the other girls.

Joanna thought so and arranged everything in this bedroom. He paid special attention to the bed.

'So why is the girl lying on the bed. I should've! Why would the Crown Prince do all this for such an ugly woman!?'

Joanna tried to suppress her anger. This is his last chance. He has to win it at all costs.

"Your Majesty, I'm here to explain the misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?"

“Yes, Miss Rose chose the room on her own accord.I had no idea she would choose it. ”

Blake trembled in anger over the blatant lie.
