I Became Crown Prince's Wife
Handsome Men and Ugly Women(9)

Blake looked at the full-size mirror in the pavilion.

Placed in the center of the room, the mirror has a complicated design and sparkles as if it has been cleaned regularly.

It looked completely out of place in a very dusty room.

When Blake was young, the servants would also put mirrors in his room. He had ordered them several times to take it out, yet they continued to carry it under the guise of repeated mistakes.

It was a form of cruel harassment by the servants. They told him to look in the mirror and realize how horrible he was.

This kind of abuse continued until he married Ancia.

That was also what was meant by the mirror in the pavilion.

The fancy mirror was inlaid with gold and the jewel must have belonged to Joanna. It was not something that a nanny could take to another place at will.

It was clear that he had ordered it, but he was still blatantly lying in front of him and Rose.

He lied like this because Rose couldn't talk.

Joanna hastily continues her conversation even though she knows Blake is getting angry.

He's got to get Rose out of here.

"I'll move Miss Rose's room to the west wing now."

"Are you doing this because you want my Rose away from me?"

My rose?

Did ya?

An ugly girl who was neither a noble nor a noble daughter actually dared to take her place.

What does the Crown Prince think?

How could he choose that monstrous monster over him?

This is an unacceptable situation. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

“Your Majesty, you must be careful! That woman is a monster!”

Joanna shouted while pointing at Rose.

“There are monsters that tempt men only to end up eating them! She can't be completely beautiful because she's a monster. Your Majesty, be careful!”

Rose calmed down as Joanna's words attacked her. He felt there was a similar situation in the original story.

In 'The Beast and the Lady', Joanna calls Diana a monster because she saw Blake's curse lifted by her.

Of course the scene is not the same as the original story.

The man Joanna was trying to get was Richard, but now the target was Blake, and the target of her attack was not Diana, but Ancia.

In the end, Richard took advantage of it and got what he wanted.

But what about Blake?

Angia looked at Blake.

He did not let go of his hand even after a long time had passed.

"A monster…"

“Yes, that woman is a monster! We need to get rid of him now. We can't keep him alive!”

"Do you know what you're saying?"

"Yes! Kill that monster!”

Joanna looked at Blake innocently, her eyes twinkling.

"Kill…"

"You can't let a monster stay by your side!"

"Is he probably a siren?"

“Yes, that's right, Siren! A terrible monster that seduces men! We have to get rid of it right now!”

Joanna nodded.

He was finally able to get rid of that monstrous monster. After Rose disappeared, the crown princess' seat would be hers.

However, Jayden laughed out loud, as if mocking Joanna.

"What's so funny?"

Joanna retaliate.

Once she became the Crown Princess, she would destroy the lives of those commoners!

"Siren is a sea monster."

"Even if he's a sea monster, that doesn't mean he can't get on land!"

Joanna was very angry.

“No, I'm afraid the sirens will be hard on land. They're half human and mermaid.”

"Half humans and mermaids?"

"Siren seduced sailors before they ate them."

Rose was human, and she was also mute. There's no way he could be a siren.

Joanna refused to step down.

It doesn't matter if Rose is a monster or not.

He simply disliked the woman standing beside the Crown Prince.

"That monster turned into a human!"

Although Joanna's father only had a small territory, they were the only nobles in the village.

Viscount Dix was obviously taking care of his daughter, so there was no one in the Valin region who could not help but obey him.

Joanna is always right. Even if what he said was wrong, everyone would still believe him.

So he'll never be wrong.

"You need to lock him up now!"

Blake's gaze turned even colder as he said it.

He must win her heart. Joanna was nervous. From the beginning, the girl was the only problem. Joanna just needs to get rid of it now.

Once he did that, the Crown Prince would be his, and his dream would come true.

“I heard he was found in the valley of chaos! He must be a monster coming out the door of darkness or he's selling his soul to a monster there! We should report it to church immediately!”

"Are you absolutely sure ... about this accusation?"

Anyone suspected of being a monster or a monster worshiper should be put on trial in the church immediately.

When Phillip took the power of the goddess, the other powers of light on earth slowly disappeared.

In the valley of chaos, where the goddess was sealed, huge reserves of light mana stones were formed. But it was difficult to maintain strength with just mana stones. The Church uses this method to protect their power. If someone becomes a monster or a follower of a monster, they will kill him. It might have been a noble goal to protect the world from monsters, but over the course of a thousand years, the goal changed slowly. His current goal is as a tool to develop the power of the church while eliminating their opponents.

As soon as Tenstheon ascended the throne, he tried to ban this experiment.

However, people protested loudly by spreading false rumors about the new emperor being a follower of monsters.

This was because the power of the church would weaken dramatically if the monster experiment disappeared.

But Tenstheon did not give up. He couldn't abolish the trial until he changed his ways.

Every monster trial is held with lives at stake. If someone was accused of being a monster, they would most likely be put to death.

"The trial risked the defendant's life. If so, the person making the accusation must also bear the same risk.'

Tenstheon ordered that. If the accused person turns out to be innocent, the accuser will be killed instead. In addition, he asked the accuser to submit valid evidence that the opponent was a monster. Once the accuser is also held accountable, the number of trials drops sharply.

Joanna said that Rose was a monster. Whether one was a monster or a follower of a monster, they also could not avoid death. This means if Rose is not a monster, Joanna will risk her own life. Blake asked her to confirm it once more, but Joanna nodded confidently without hesitation.

"Yes, I'll call the church soon!"

"Are you really sure?"

"Yes, I will call Priest Alt!"

Priest Alt was the only one in charge of the Valin church.

He was also an ally of Joanna. Together with Dix and Joanna, the priest had undergone countless trials. Most of them were accused by Joanna.

As long as he reported it, Priest Alt would definitely declare the accused a monster.

On the contrary, even if he did not declare them monsters, he would definitely call them demons.

And besides, he would definitely not rule them out as ordinary humans.

It is ridiculous that the Crown Prince chose that monster over him!

After the trial was over, the monster would be dealt with quickly. The Crown Prince will also escape the grasp of the monster.

Joanna looked at Ancia with a happy smile.

Ancia was just shaking, though,

In the original story, Joanna slandered Diana with various stories and eventually accused her of being a demon.

The number of trials, which had dwindled during Tenstheon's reign, began to rise again as Duke Cassil rose to power.

Arnold Cassil and his sons claimed that Tenstheon was a follower of the devil and died while using black magic to summon him.

They also claim that the reason why Tenstheon tried to abolish the experiment was also because of the demons.

They trampled on Tenstheon's honor and killed many people who followed him using experiments.

Joanna is one of them. Even then, Joanna would accuse people she disliked and get them to stand trial. Eventually, they will all end up dead.

Tenstheon's eyes could not reach this remote region.

As soon as Tenstheon was killed, the trial returned as usual, so no one could stop him.

Joanna accuses anyone she dislikes and deems irritating.

Since Ancia knew the story, it was no wonder that Joanna had accused her of being a monster, but her expression was strange. If Ancia was accused of being a monster, she would lose her life.

Although Joanna would usher an innocent man to his death, she still showed no signs of guilt.

Instead, Joanna seemed to anticipate it.
