I Became Crown Prince's Wife
The Journey to the Palace (2)

“I didn't expect we'd get married. I dare not dream about it. You know, I have a curse. I won't live that long, but until then, I want to protect you. This place will be a strong refuge for you until you grow up. You will be free when I die. ”

Blake hopes Ancia is not frustrated with their marriage, so she prepares what she will tell him and trains hard.

But the truth is not what he thinks. When she returned to her room after the wedding, she took off her mask, and Ancia came in.

When Ancia saw his face, she closed the door and ran out. Blake did not get the chance to say what he had prepared beforehand.

That day, Ancia fell into the lake. She thought she was so shocked to see his face that she tried to kill herself.

Blake saves Ancia from drowning her in the lake.

“If-if you really hate me…! “

He should not consider her a couple. No, he couldn't even dream of that from the start. He was cursed and his age was soon. He just wanted to protect her until then.

The words he had been diligently practicing every day refused to come out. Ancia lost consciousness while Blake panicked and cried.

He forgot that he was a monster. The soul is cursed by the goddess. He is the most terrible creature in the world.

'Really, there's no point in being next to me. What if Ancia dies because of me?'

Blake blamed himself. Ancia might want to divorce him once she wakes up.

He really had an impossible dream. All the servants hate him. She must have hated him when she married him.

'What if he blames me for saving him? What if he says he'd rather die?'

She's afraid.

Then a few days later, Ancia came to her room.

"Don't see!"

Blake hid under the blanket in a panic. If she saw his face again, Ancia would definitely hate him. But Ancia took Blake's blanket, and she even took off her mask.

Ancia looked at Blake's face as she said, "You're not terrible."

That was an unexpected comment. He also said that he fell for his own mistakes and thanked him for saving him.

"I like you."

He said something he thought he would never hear again.

"I like you too."

Blake confessed his feelings shyly. He expressed his true feelings, and not the fake remarks he had prepared beforehand.

Ancia held Blake's hand as they fell asleep together.

Ever since Blake was cursed, he's been plagued by nightmares every night.

He could not remember the contents well. All he could remember was the hot flames and the sharp screams of a woman.

When he opened his eyes, his whole body ached, and when he fell asleep, he had nightmares. There was not a single moment when he felt at peace.

But strangely enough, he had no nightmares that night. He felt as if he was enveloped by a warm light. The next day too, he was sound asleep and comfortable. Ever since she started sleeping with Ancia, her nightmares disappeared.

Not just that. The pain is also slightly reduced.

Blake happy. But it's not just because of that, though,

She was always with Ancia; when she read books, ate, slept and woke up.

Even after seeing the curse tarnish Blake's face and body, he wasn't agitated at all. There was no sign of dislike on his face.

Blake always hides in the dark, but when he meets Ancia, light enters his world for the first time.

He enjoys life every day. However, even in the midst of such happiness, his anxiety did not disappear.

Angie sometimes lies to him.

"Ancia, are you going to leave me?"

He says he likes Blake, and Blake can feel that his words are sincere. But when asked if he would leave her, she would hesitate.

“No, where am I going to leave my cute husband?”

Blake smiled broadly as he said that. But he knew it was a lie.

Blake's afraid.

He didn't have to like it, he could even hate it, but he still wished he wouldn't leave.

Blake often asked her to quell her fears. He begged her not to go. Every time Ancia said she wasn't going, she knew she was going.

He's always getting ready to leave Blake.

No. gabe. Angie said she liked it. That's not a lie.

Moreover, he could feel it even if he did not say it.

The way Ancia looked at him, his expression, his manner of speaking, his behavior, was very clear. He's not pretending.

And finally he knows the reason.

“Your curse will surely lift! The heir of light can definitely lift your curse.”

"Your Majesty, if the heir of the light appears, you will marry her ..."

Ancia tried to leave him by her side to free him from his curse. Blake was relieved to hear it.

"It's not because he hates me."

He was relieved and angry.

"I told you. Ancia is my only wife.”

“But to lift the curse..”

“I don't care about the curse if I can stay with Ancia.”

The curse does not need to be lifted. He wants to be with Ancia. His time with Ancia was worth more than his life.

He'd rather die in Ancia's arms than break up with her.

Ancia tried to lift Blake's curse. Blake wants it too. If the curse is lifted, she can stay with Ancia for the rest of her life.

Ever since Ancia had been by his side, he had not had any nightmares, and the curse sentence had not spread either. However, he did not think that the curse would be lifted. He promised not to die, but he knew it would be difficult.

He feels weird. Although the curse sentence did not spread, his body often had a fever and a woman's scream echoed in his ears.

On the day Diana was punished and Count Bellacian came to the Crown Prince's palace, a strange power exploded within her. Blake poured his inner strength into Count Bellacian.

Gilbert Bellacian went crazy.

He knew that there was a curse power within him, but he did not expect to pass the curse on to others.

Of course, the curse sentence was not engraved on Gilbert Bellacian's body, but it was as if he had been mentally cursed.

The goddess' curse grew stronger to swallow Blake and her body gradually deteriorated.

He still has a lot to give to Ancia. He also wants to do a lot with her.

However, his body was unwilling to cooperate, and even after a few days had passed, his fever continued. One day, while outside the palace, he fainted.

When Blake collapses, Ancia blames herself and tries to leave her again.

Blake woke up in ten days. He felt that his end had finally come. He was not sad because he expected it.

"I want to stay with Ancia until the end of my life."

That was all he thought about at the time.

But Ancia said she was the heir to the light. He said he could lift the curse. To be honest, he didn't expect much.

He wished his words were true, but the power within him was growing stronger.

'I hope Ancia isn't disappointed if the curse doesn't go away.'

A festival of light was held in the kingdom. However, Ancia did not attend the festival anymore.

There were many people who invited him to the festival. There were even many men who asked her to go with them. But Angie refused all the invitations.

Even when the famous homme fatale, Richard Cassil, visited the Amoria Palace in person, he still turned it down.

She said it was because of her trauma as she got lost in the square earlier, but Blake knew that she was actually saying that out of consideration for him. Blake felt sorry for him.

A royal feast was held on the last day of the festival, but Ancia was not present. Blake was worried it was because of him again, but the fact that he could be with her made him smile.

He can't help it.

Blake and Ancia sat in the attic side by side, and saw the fireworks together. But even the fireworks he saw that day were not as beautiful as Ancia.

Blake gathers his courage and kisses Ancia.

"Ancia, I love you."

It is unclear whether the curse will be lifted or not. But whatever happened, he really wanted to say this. He thought that he would not leave any regrets.

"I'm happy to meet you, Blake.”

Ancia smiled as she met his gaze. Her smile alone was enough to fill Blake's heart with joy.
