I Became the Wife of a Monstrous Crown Prince (PART 2)

16

After two years passed, everyone started talking about the possibility of Ancia being dead.

The moment she went inside the door of darkness, she might’ve already been eaten by the Macul. There was also a rumour about how Ancia was offered in exchange for lifting the goddess’ curse. Everyone made their own speculations.

Ancia was gradually forgotten from everyone’s memory, but even after all this time, the Crown Prince still remembered her.

“I’ll find her.”

“…Your Highness, you are the Crown Prince of this empire. You have many duties to take care of. Soon, you’ll forget about her existence.”

“No, I won’t.”

“You say that right now, but eventually, you will. That’s the reality. I’m the only one who won’t forget her and will keep searching for her.”

“She’s my family too.”

“Yes, but only until you remarry.”

“I won’t marry anyone else. Ancia is my only wife.”

He didn’t want to marry anyone other than Ancia.

Blake’s world only had Ancia in it. His heart was so full of Ancia that it didn’t have any space for anyone else to wedge themself in.

“When Ancia comes back and finds out about you, she will be sad to know that her sister is about to be expelled from the academy.”

“……”

“I don’t want to see her be sad. Go back to the academy. I’ll search for her instead.”

“You really won’t forget my sister?”

“Did you already forget? I love Ancia the most.”

“I don’t agree with that.”

Diana laughed at his words. It was the first smile Blake had seen from her after Ancia went missing.

Diana eventually returned to the academy and Blake kept searching for Ancia as he promised.

Even if Blake didn’t make a promise to Diana, he wouldn’t stop searching for Ancia.

Tenstheon was against Blake going to the valley of chaos. He felt really guilty about failing to protect Ancia, but he couldn’t lose his son too. However, in the end, Tenstheon gave in to Blake’s stubbornness.

When Blake first went into the valley of chaos, Tenstheon also went together with him. Tenstheon was afraid of the monsters attacking Blake. Just as how he lost Ancia. But the monsters were only a groundless rumour.

The monsters didn’t attack Blake. Rather, they avoided him. It was because he had the power of the goddess.

The onlookers were amazed by the Crown Prince’s ability. Rumors of his ability quickly spread, further increasing the number of people worshipping Blake.

People gradually forgot that he had once been cursed and ugly. Now, they only knew of Blake’s beautiful appearance and fascinating powers.

Countless women wanted him as their husband. Many women tried to seduce him, including foreign princesses, and beautiful nobles with amazing backgrounds, but Blake turned a blind eye to all of them.

It had already been a long time since the curse had been lifted, but he had only become more unhappy in that time.

His life had plunged into darkness yet again. He stopped being around people and spent his days in the valley of chaos to find Ancia. He also occasionally visited the capital to search for traces of Ancia.
