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

29

What an easy and uninteresting woman. But one thing he found useful was the fact that she was a polyglot.

Richard had always wondered why Tenstheon cared about Ancia.

He realized the reason just then. It was only natural to value her because of her skills.

Richard did it too.

The moment he found out that Ancia was a polyglot, he valued hre more and treated her nicely despite thinking of her as a tool.

Although Richard wasn’t as possessive over her as he was seven years ago, he still thought that she was useful and didn’t want her to be taken away by others.

He wanted to hide the fact that he had found Ancia and use her as his tool for the rest of his life.

But a sword would only rust if it was left unused.

If one has a good sword, then they must use it.

Richard weighed his options and eventually sent her back to the palace.

That was the best choice.

Ancia asked to see Richard because she was anxious and because of that Richard was able to come to the palace again.

“I want to be with you.”

Richard smiled as he looked at her.

He felt a sense of accomplishment seeing the woman who was so reluctant to become his back then, finally come to him of her own volition.

And the fact that the brainwashing spell worked so well made it all the more better. It was so easy to control her.

The brainwashing spell was a really hard spell that only a few wizards knew.

Even Domiram barely managed to brainwash Duke Cassil. The spell that he put on Duchess and Neon nearly ended in failure.

They eventually committed suicide, but it happened much later than scheduled.

Ancia’s brainwashing wasn’t perfect either. Even apart from the spell, Richard had to seduce her.

“Ancia, I want to be with you too. But for that to be possible, the Crown Prince has to disappear.”

“I know.”

Richard looked at Ancia lovingly and whispered.

“Did you put the medicine in?”

Before coming to the palace, Richard handed Ancia a small bottle of poison and ordered her, “Everytime you dine with the Crown Prince, add this to his food. Ancia, you have to do this.”

Ancia always nodded at him without any hesitation.

But now, she hesitated, unable to answer him easily.

“What’s wrong?”

“That…I haven’t had a meal with him yet.”

“What?”

“He’s always with that woman named Rose everyday.”

Rose.

He heard that the Crown Prince doted on the hideous woman he brought back from the valley of chaos.

Even after Ancia was back, they hadn’t had a single meal together?

This was unexpected.

But he couldn’t give up here.

He quickly pretended to be worried about Ancia.

“He’s such a scumbag. As soon as you went missing, he began to dote on another woman. He didn’t even care about you.”
