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

37

Laontel was asking Ser for help. She cried desperately as she held the necklace Ser had given her.

Laontel finally contacted Ser after a long time.

From Laontel’s words, Ser could more or less guess what had happened.

Phillip used the distorted power to spread a disease in the Imperial Palace. Many people lost their lives while he kept Ser in the dark and completely hid her presence.

Laontel didn’t forget her.

It was Phillip, not Laontel, who did those things.

Ser slumped to the ground, unable to overcome her shock.

“Why did you come out here, Ser?”

Suddenly, she heard a man’s voice.

She turned around and saw Phillip. He was back.

“Phillip, did you…did you kill the Crown Prince?”

Phillip stiffened up when Ser asked that question.

“How did you know?”

“Phillip…”

“Did you lie when you said you gave me everything? Did you hide some of your powers behind my back?”

Even though his bad deeds had been revealed, Phillip still didn’t ask for forgiveness.

Rather, he questioned Ser about her powers.

Ser pulled up her sleeves to reveal her arm.

“Phillip look at this.”

“What’s that?”

“I was punished because of you.”

At that moment, Phillip turned pale.

“If there was such a thing, you should’ve said it earlier!”

Is he worried about me?

Even in the midst of this situation, Ser still had such a thought.

But her expectations were soon shattered.

“Will that happen to me too?”

“…Don’t worry. This punishment is only given to me.”

“I see.”

Phillip sighed.

Ser couldn’t find any sense of anxiety or apology towards her.

She realized Phillip’s true nature.

Nevertheless, she couldn’t let him go.

When the Emperor and Rakshul died, Phillip took Ser back to the capital city.

He didn’t abandon her even though she was ill. For that alone, Ser was very grateful.

When Ser returned, she apologized to Laontel.

“Sorry Laon. I’m sorry. I didn’t know what happened to Rakshul. I’m sorry. It’s my fault…”

She made excuses because she was afraid Laontel would hate her if she knew the truth.

“I’m sorry Laon. I’m so sorry. Do you hate me? You hate me, don’t you? I’m sure you do. I’m so sorry.”

“I don’t hate you. I’m glad you’re back.”

Laontel gave her a hug.

‘She probably doesn’t know what’s happening.’

Phillip ascended the throne and kept Ser out of everyone’s sight.
