I Became the Wife of the Monstrous Crown Prince

Chapter 11 – I’ve met a real beast (4)

Translator – Zimming

The report said that Ancia had dealt with all the spies planted by the Duke of Cassil, including the chief servant.

Tenstheon recalled Ancia on the day of her wedding.

She was very timid. However, sending the eldest son of the Marquis of Hamel to prison, it seemed that she was all grown up, and even only those who were truly wicked were thrown out.

She really have a good eye for people. But no matter how clever she is, can a ten-year-old child have that much insight?

Without a moment for Tenstheon to clear his mind, Marquis Hamel came in upon hearing that the emperor had returned.

He shamelessly claimed that his son, and a few of the crown prince’s servants, was falsely accused.

Tenstheon immediately called Ancia. He wanted to meet Ancia in person on the pretext of Marquis Hamel.

But Ancia was much more intelligent than Tenstheon thought.

She stood up against the Marquis confidently and provided evidence to support her argument.

Thank you Ancia, for protecting Blake.

“Eunhan, how did the Crown Princess look to you?”

“What do you mean?”

“Did she look reliable?”

Eunhan has been hiding himself for the past month and looking over the Crown Prince. He was there when she fired many of the servants.

But from some point on, he forgotten his purpose and only looked at “Ancia.”

She is a pretty, intelligent, and warm hearted. It’s been a long time since he forgotten his hometown, but he also felt lingering and enviousness that his life might have changed if he had someone like her next to him.

“Yes, she’s a good person.”

“I didn’t expect you’d say that.”

Tenstheon was frankly surprised.

Eunhan was a boy who only followed his orders with honesty and had no interest in people. Eunhan did not believe in other people except for Tenstheon. There were many twists and turns until he open up to Tenstheon.

The child, stained with deep-rooted distrust of a human, praised the girl, who he had only seen for a month.

“Is there anything disturbing?”

“No such thing.”

Tenstheon hoped Blake wouldn’t be lonely. He wanted to give a companion to Blake and comfort him.

But who can truly love the heir of the curse? Even the father himself cannot express his love for him.

I made him get married, but I didn’t expect much. I was just thankful to anyone for being with Blake. But Ancia was far beyond Tenstheon’s expectations.

She wrapped her arms around Blake with sincere affection.

It was so perfect that I was rather suspicious. It was also suspicious that her attitude had changed after falling into the lake.

Is she faking it? Wouldn’t it hurt his son even more?

Tenstheon was born with the qualities of an emperor. There was always no hesitation, and his choice was never wrong. But he was careful about his son.

Eunhan hands a small image stone to the anxious emperor. Tenstheon played the video.

[“Blake! Attack!”]

Ansia was blowing the raspberries into Blake’s belly. She kissed his curse’s sentences without any qualms, and Blake laughed with happiness.

[“Hahaha! It tickles. Ancia, don’t. It tickles!”]

He was told that a smile had not left Blake’s face for a month when he was away. He really didn’t know he would laugh again this way.

Since he was cursed, I thought I’d never see him like that again.

Tenstheon let go of his worries. She’s the child who make Blake laugh again. I need to thank her for that.

The cauldron has finally arrived. Frankly speaking, I didn’t expect much, but it looked almost the same as the one used in my past life.

The blacksmith, who fully embodies the cauldron with paintings and explanations alone, was admirable.

When I went to the pre-made furnace and put the pot on it, Blake was amazed and touched it.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before.”

“I’ve never seen it either.”

“So do I.”

Melissa and Edon agreed with him. Hans also repeated his exclamation.

“Your Highness must have had a profound knowledge for Eastern goods.”

“You’re amazing!”

“You’re a genius.”

“That’s right! Ancia is a genius!”

My face flushed with embarrassment when I received those excessive praise.

If you stay like this, I’ll be trapped in a prison of praise all day long. I quickly change the topic.

“I’ll make you the best dishes! Everyone, look forward to it!”

“Oh, no. You don’t have to do ours. How did you know how to cook Your Highness?”

Melissa was in a daze and didn’t know what to do. She does that every time I cook.

“It’s okay. The cauldron is this big, and it’s good to do it a lot at once. We can all help each other.”

“Of course we have to help!”

“I’ll help, too!”

When I saw Blake raising his hand vigorously saying he would help me, a happy smile came out.

Then someone walked in. It was Collin, the emperor’s assistant.

“Your Highness”

He bowed to me, too, after giving Blake an bow.

When Collin finished greeting, Blake asked carefully.

“What’s going on?”

“Your Majesty has sent an invitation to Her Highness.”

“Me?”

“Yes. Your Highness.”

He gives us the white envelope with the imperial stamp on it. It said that he wanted to have tea together in the greenhouse today.

I thought he’d call me soon, but I didn’t know he’d call me this soon. Besides, he even sent me his assistant.

But it was too early to be surprised.

“Also His Majesty sent you a gift.”

“A gift?”

“Yes.”

Then Collin put down the boxes one by one. The gifts began to pile up endlessly.

“Isn’t there something wrong? I’m afraid you send the gifts to a wrong person.”

I asked Collin, looking at a box that filled one side of the room. Collin replied politely.

“No, it’s not a mistake. These are all gifts from His Majesty to Your Highness.”

No way. There was no reason for the emperor to send me a gift. I had no choice but to tell you yesterday.

Did he feel good because I compliment his abs?

…No way. That can’t be it.

Anyway, I opened the gift box. And I realized that Collin didn’t make a mistake.

Dresses and coats, shoes, and all kinds of ornaments came out endlessly. At first glance, they were clothes that fit my size.

It looked so beautiful and precious that I couldn’t even think about wearing it.

“You have to get ready! You’ll be late for the invitation!”

Melissa, who was checking the gift, shouted urgently.

“We still have three hours, just relax.”

“Only three hours!”

Do I really need to dress up to meet my father-in-law? I was bored but Melissa was excited.

“I promised to cook for you guys.”

I took Blake’s hand. But Blake joined forces with Melissa.

“I’m fine!”

“But…”

“Ancia would look pretty in this.”

Blake pointed to an emerald dress. It was a simple dress which suit tea parties.

“You have a good eye, of course.”

Melissa agreed, I also liked it the most.

I went back to my room and tied my hair to one side to suit my dress.

I wore the dress, shoes, overcoat, and jewelry that the emperor gave me.

“You’re so beautiful.”

Melissa admired me. Honestly, I was surprised to see myself in the mirror, too.

Amcia had a pretty face like a doll, and her usual dress was also beautiful. However, she looked like a completely different person when they decorated herself in earnest.

“Your Highness, It’s time to go.”

I heard Edon’s voice outside. I was just dressed lightly, but the appointment time was approaching. It would have been a disaster if I had been slow.

When I went outside, Hans and Edon made a fuss about my beauty. But Blake say nothing.

“Did I not fit the dress?”

“No, No! You’re very pretty. Too pretty. Ancia.”

Blake shook his head in a hurry. A smile came to my lips when I saw his ears burning red.

“I’ll be back.”

“Yes, Have a good trip.”

I got on the carriage, seeing Blake off….

It was in the middle of winter, but the greenhouse was full of various flowers. But the colorful flowers didn’t come into my eyes.

Tenstheon was sitting in a white chair. I hurried and lower my head.

“Your Majesty.”

“Sit down.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

I sat on the white porcelain chair opposite of him.

“It suits you well.”

When the emperor complimented me, all my tension was relieved. I grinned broadly.

“Thank you for the gift.”

“I’m glad you liked it.”

“I especially liked the golden dress.”

“Do you like gold?”

No,I mean I love the colour gold, I don’t mean a real gold.

“…Do you really like the Crown Prince?”

“Of course I do, he’s my husband.”

“How can you like him?”
