I Became the Wife of the Monstrous Crown Prince - Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Into the light we dream of (9)

Blake and I have been busy these days. But it was due to another reason.

Only a few people got tancinol now. Even if there was a suspected person, it turned out not to be tancinol.

Instead, people who were already cured lined up in front of us.

It was up to me and Blake to confirm that they were completely cured, just as we were to confirm that they were ill.

We were busy everyday checking people’s conditions and discharging completely cured patients.

“I’ll help you.”

I approached Blake.

I decided to take care of the female patients and Blake for the male patients, but the number of female patients was smaller, so my work end much earlier.

“It’s okay.”

“I’ll help you.”

“No need. Go get some rest when you’re done. You haven’t rested lately.”

That was what I was going to say. Blake hasn’t rested enough because he had to grow tea leaves and take care of his patients, he was also in charge of searching for Richard.

“My husband should rest.”

I said lightly, as I took a list of patients he had to check. But Blake took back the list in my hand.

“It’s really okay, I’ll do it.”

“It’s tiring, let’s divide it.”

“I don’t want you to check other guys.”

“What? They’re patients.”

I was dumbfounded and laughed.

“But I still hate it. I hated such things from the beginning, but I held it in. But you can’t do that anymore.”

He pointed firmly to the list.

“There’s only three left. So go back and rest. Otherwise, I can’t do anything because it bothers me.”

When I saw him who looked like a pitiful rabbit, I didn’t want to be stubborn anymore.

“Okay, but tell me if you’re having a hard time.”

“Don’t worry.”

After repeatedly making sure, I moved to the garden behind the training centre.

The entire garden of the training center is now a taekri tea field. That was already enough to treat the remaining patients.

Now that the cure has been found, Richard’s not going to cause any more outbreak.

Now, he won’t be able to accomplish what he wants.

However, I couldn’t lower my guard. The opponent is Richard Cassil. We can never know what else he’s going to do.

I let the mana of light flow through the newly planted seed. Soon after, the buds sprouted and green leaves began to grow.

But something was wrong.

Why did Richard use this method?

The situation was completely different from a thousand years ago.

At that time, there was no one left to succeed to the throne because Rakshul, the emperor, and the royal family all lost their lives. But now there was Blake.

Blake, who has the power of a goddess, couldn’t get tancinol. Richard was unlikely to become emperor as long as Blake was alive, even with Tenstheon and the other members of the royal family killed.

Moreover, Phillip is the son of the emperor, so he stayed lowkey and apparently did not commit any sin. However, Richard was a felon who attempted to poison the prince and murdered a nobleman.

Richard tried to point the blame for tancinol to the roums. But it was like stabbing himself.

In fact, there were many voices calling for the removal of the camellia orphanage and the condemnation of Richard who opened the orphanage.

At first, I only thought that he was repeating what happened a thousand years ago. However, after the tancinol outbreak ended, I slowly looked back on it, and there were many strange things.

What is Richard thinking? Is there another reason for causing the outbreak?

“Ancia.”

I turned my head to Blake’s voice.

“I told you to rest.”

“I had enough rest.”

I smiled and looked at Blake.

Even though it was a time when we couldn’t rest for a moment, my cheeks were still plump.

Different from Blake, he was already slim, but seeing him thinner made my heart ache.

“Let’s eat a lot after this. I’ll make you something delicious.”

“My wife will cook for me?”

Blake smiled brightly.

“Yes, I’ll make you three meals a day.”

I want to lock my husband up and feed him delicious food every day.

Perhaps because the cure came out, the patients were more relaxed.

The ladies were envious of me, saying that Blake seems to have become more handsome these days.

But I don’t mind if he’s less handsome, so I’d like Blake to get a little plump.

Being healthy is the best. I would like to fatten his cheeks.

When he was young, he used to eat a lot.

“Wife, are you trying to make me fat?”

“I just want to. Very much.”

“Why? Do you want to eat me?”

His red eyes shone brightly.

“Yes.”

“Really?”

Blake looked at me straight. I wanted to joke around, but when he did that, I avoided looking at him.

“I don’t know.”

“Do you want me to tell you if you don’t know?”

“Huh…?”

“I’ll tell you how to eat it. It’s been a while.”

His hand grazed my face gently and rubbed my ear.

Every word he said contained honey in it, a sticky feeling wrapped around my whole body.

“Wh, when this is over…I’ll eat you when you’re done!”

When I said it, Blake smiled suspiciously.

“I’m gonna have to finish this.”

Even though his hand fell off my face, there was still heat on my face.

I felt somewhat embarrassed and turned my head. I was suddenly embarrassed to make eye contact with him.

But I had to say what I had to say.

“Don’t be in such a hurry. Richard might be doing something else. You have to be careful.”

I was going to tell Blake the question that came up a while ago.

But suddenly, I heard Edon’s voice.

“Your highness, we’re in trouble!”

“What’s going on?”

“Richard Cassil attacked the mana stone storage in the church!”

“What?”

Blake’s expression hardened. My heart also sank.

Richard Cassil must be after the mana stone of light.

If he had found a memory of his past life, Richard would have figured out how to use the power of light. But he couldn’t have used it because he didn’t have the basic mana.

Although he saved a few mana stones while running away, there was a limit.

But, if he attacked the church and got a large amount of mana stone, the story changes.

“We have to stop him.”

“Yes.”

Blake also nodded after grasping the seriousness of the situation.

He tried to go straight to the church with Edon.

“I’m coming with you.”

“No, wife. You stay here.”

“But…”

“Please protect the patients here.”

Blake held my hand tightly and said that. He’s doing that because he’s afraid I’ll be in danger. But he was right too.

“You have to be careful.”

“Don’t worry.”

Blake grabbed my hand and went out of the training centre.

***

It would be Richard’s last attack on the church. There were many knights, also Blake, there’s no way they couldn’t catch Richard.

Yeah, there’s nothing to worry about. Even if I thought so, my heart beat nervously.

“What’s wrong, Your Highness?”

“No, nothing.”

I looked at her with a big smile. The child, who was not even conscious back then, can now sit and walk.

She’s getting better slower than the others, but it was still an improvement.

“Your Highness, I’ll get better, right?”

“Of course, you’ll be able to hang out with other friends soon.”

“What about Brother Luo?”

“……”

I stroked her hair without saying a word.

But she suddenly went out of the bed.

“Shulia?”

I called her name. However, she got out of the room.

“Shulia!”

I was so surprised that I chased after her.

Shulia wasn’t completely cured yet. Even if her condition improved, the tancinol in her body was still stronger than others. She couldn’t get out of the room.

She’s a nice and gentle child. She has never been out of the room before. But now, she doesn’t listen to me no matter how much I call her.

Even if I shouted out loudly, she kept walking.

Moreover, she walked very fast, but the child didn’t run. Yet, I couldn’t chase her. Shulia is not fast. The space is twisted!

I looked around.

‘Where am I?’

It was the training centre, at the same time it wasn’t. The space in the hallway was completely twisted.

Then a man suddenly appeared.

Black hair, red eyes, and old wounds on the neck.

“Richard…”

“Long time no see, Laontel.”

There was a suspicious smile around his mouth.

“You’ve found a memory of your past life.”

“Just recently. You already knew it, don’t you?”

He replied brazenly. He didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding his mistakes.

I didn’t intend to have a conversation with Richard.

Did he use mana squeezed out of the mana of light, to twist the space? While I wasn’t there, did he visit Shulia?

I met Shulia every day. However, there was no sign of such a thing. While the church’s warehouse was in a state of chaos, he must’ve used this chance.

But it was a vain attempt. Unlike a thousand years ago, my skills were much stronger than Richard’s now.

“Of course. Who else would do such a disgusting thing besides you?”

I responded appropriately to his words, condensing the mana of light in my right hand. I was going to pierce Richard’s heart like this.

But Richard raised his lips as if he knew what I was thinking.

The space was twisted once again, and in an instant, Shulia moved to his side.

Richard put a knife to the child’s neck.

“You’d better not do anything stupid. You know best what kind of person I am. Isn’t that right, Laontel?”

“……”

It was what he said. Richard was a human being who would take away a child’s life without feeling guilty for his own desire.

I gritted my teeth and put my hand down.
