I Became Crown Prince's Wife
The Journey to the Palace (6)

Starting with Joanna, the women who should have liked Richard in the original story have set their sights on Blake by now.

Among them, Camilla Vendrick is the second most important female character after Iana.

Camilla is the daughter of the Marquis family. Originally, he was an abandoned child, but Marquis Vendrick immediately accepted it because he felt the need to have a connection to the Imperial Palace.

Camilla loves Richard. He knew his evil deeds very well but pretended not to know them.

“Only I can understand Richard! We were definitely meant to be like this. Even if I were to be reborn, I would only like Richard.”

He said it repeatedly. She said she purely loved Richard, regardless of his status, wealth, appearance, and that he was the only one who truly loved her.

Then she became Blake's servant.I don't think Richard put her as a spy, so what happened?

The face of Richard from seven years ago and the face of Phillip from a thousand years ago came to my mind at the same time. Their appearance alone made me shudder. Suddenly a small light appeared.

[Hello, Laontel.]

'During the meeting, Shell.'

This is the first time we've met again in a long time.

'What's going on?'

Shell pouting. Shell seemed to have been waiting to say it and replied as soon as I asked.

[I've never eaten anyone!]

'Huh?'

[The pussy doesn't eat people! How could they say such rude things? They talk as if we ate you!]

Even if Ancia survived at the door of darkness, she would be eaten by Macul in the end. That's what the knights said, and Shell heard them.

Then, even when I couldn't see them, they were still circling around me?

"You following me?"

[!!!]

Shell's eyes widened and he quickly threw his face away. It seems my guess is correct.

[Oh, I'm here to deliver a message on behalf of the goddess!]

He flew in a hurry. As Shell rotated in front of me, its light became a circle and created a transparent space that shone brightly. Outside the light, I could hear Ser's voice.

[Laontel, how do you feel living like that? Don't you want to throw away that ugly body that everyone hates?]

'I don't think it's ugly. It just has a scar.'

[Stop pretending! Stop pretending to be the best in the world, and stop pretending to be good! Tell me the truth!you want to go back to your real body, don't you?you want a face that everyone praises for being beautiful! Are you sorry you gave up my offer?]

His voice was full of madness. He had been suffering for a thousand years, so it was no wonder that his injuries were almost impossible to heal.

"I never regret it, Ser."

To be honest, every time I see people looking at me with such disgust, I feel so hurt. But Blake smiled at me. He held my scarred hand, but showed no sign of disgust.

There were also some people who showed no reaction to my scar. Blake, Edon, Mellisa, Hans and Jayden.

So it's fine. I don't have much time left. It was enough as long as I thought of those good people alone.I didn't want to notice those who felt disgusted after seeing me.

[Are you touched that the Crown Prince has given you his sympathy? How did she react when she found out that Ancia was this bad? Eventually, he will leave you and marry another woman.you will not be able to remain in his memory. He would shudder at the fact that a woman like you was once his friend!]

'Blake won't be like that.'

Blake won't leave me just because of how I look. At first I didn't think like that but now I'm pretty sure.

He's not that kind of person. He would not discriminate against people because of their appearance.

[Ha huh. Don't make me laugh! He's a guy like Philip! When I had a scar on my body, Philip gave up on me.]

'What?'

Philip approached Ser from the beginning with the idea of using him. And as soon as he gained the power of the goddess, he wanted to leave her. Did he forget that?

Why did he think he was abandoned because of his appearance?

[If I were as pretty as you, Phillip wouldn't leave me! If I don't have a scar, he won't leave me!]

'Ser, you ...'

Does he like Philip? I tried to ask her, but I immediately shut my mouth. It was absolutely impossible.I felt as if I would insult Ser by asking him that.

[Laom! I'll give you one last chance. This is really the last time! Kill the Crown Prince! We'll be the only ones left in this disgusting kingdom. We're buddies. We don't need anyone else, do we?]

"We need them."

[..What?]

'There are many good people.I can't kill them and survive alone.'

[They don't even know who you are! You are the only one who will die miserably! Who will love you for being ugly? Even if you die, they won't feel sympathy!]

"I don't care."

That really doesn't matter to me. I'm fine even if no one recognizes me. A thousand years ago, Rakshul died and my life felt like hell. I'd rather die than let him go first again.

[Dumb girl! You idiot!you will be abandoned!you will eventually be disposed of miserably!]

'Even if they do that, I won't regret it.'

[Haha! I will kill the Crown Prince immediately. So, are you going to kneel to me and beg?]

When I heard him laugh, I got a bad feeling.

'What are you trying to do?'

Just when I frantically asked Ser, I heard a knock outside.

"Miss Rose, I'll be in for a minute."

I stared at the table in shock. However, the Shell and the transparent space were all gone.

“Halo, Miss Rose. My name is Chelsea Brooke, Crown Prince's servant.”

Chelsea greeted me politely.I also bowed slowly.

“I'm sorry for what happened just now.I'm sorry on behalf of everyone.”

"It's okay."

I shook my hand. Chelsea are confused. He doesn't understand what I'm saying.

'I'm fine.Really I'm fine.'

As I said over and over again, Chelsea carefully asked me.

"Did you say you're okay?"

I'm nodding. It was difficult even to have a simple conversation because I could not speak and write. When I was with Blake, I had no problems communicating.

“To be honest, most of the servants of this palace liked His Majesty. So, they are just jealous when they see you. Don't worry about it.”

Chelsea must be worried that I might get hurt.

She was a minor character in 'The Beast and the Lady.'

Richard pretends to like him and steals the Brooke family fortune. Chelsea married Richard to his family.

But Chelsea soon discover his true nature and plan to reveal Richard's mistakes to the world. However, before he could do that, Richard found out and killed him.

Although Chelsea is a smart guy, he only showed up for a short time and is not too remembered. However, he turned out to be very intelligent and considerate.

'Yes thank you.'

Chelsea are groaning a little. It's hard to read my lips. As I repeated those words, Chelsea smiled as if she could barely understand his words.

“In the future, I will serve Miss Rose.I look forward to working with you.”

Chelsea will serve me?

She is a woman from a prominent family. Even though I am the Crown Prince's guest, my identity is unknown. It is possible that I am a slave, not an ordinary person.

It's ridiculous for Chelsea to serve me.

Why would he do it? Did Melissa ask him?

'Are you okay with that?'

I try to say it slowly.

"Oh that way.you asked if I was okay, right? ”

He smiled brightly as I nodded. He looked like a happy high school student finally solving a difficult question.

"Yes, I volunteered to serve you."

She wanted? As my eyes widened, the corner of Chelsea's mouth shot up meaningfully.

“I've been a maid for two years. But this is the first time I've seen the Crown Prince smile. Miss Rose made him smile. At that moment, I knew that you were a great woman. That's why I want to do this.”

“I know that His Majesty's birth mother is a Roum. It was amazing that he took control of the empire even though he had Roum's blood. It would be nice to marry someone like this.”

Chelsea told me something similar to what she told Richard in the original story.

So much has changed from the original story.

Did he never see Blake smile? Blake smiled a lot on our way back to the palace. But didn't he also do that in the Foren Palace? How's he been for seven years?

I was deep in thought when Blake came in.

"Who are you?"

He asked Chelsea.

“My name is Chelsea Brooke.I will serve Miss Rose."

"good. Chelsea, take good care of Rose.”

"I am honored to serve Miss Rose."

He smiled broadly. I can feel the sincerity of Chelsea's smile. She really wanted to be my servant. It's not because someone told him to.

"Chelsea, have you prepared any food?"

"Do you want to get it ready here?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Good."

Chelsea looked down and left the room.

After a while, the fancy food was ready. The dish was painstakingly made for the Crown Prince who had returned after a long time.

A smile rose on my face as soon as I tasted the soup. This is Terry's cooking.

"Is this good for you?"

I'm nodding.

The cuisine is all good. However, it is somewhat surprising that there are no eastern dishes in sight. Terry likes to cook eastern dishes, so does Blake. However, there was no such thing on the table.

The dessert came out as soon as I finished eating. Furthermore, various ingredients were prepared to accompany the black tea.

I could feel Blake staring at me. I deliberately ignored my favorite lemon jam and just added one sugar cube.

Then I heard Blake laughing.
