I Became the Wife of the Monstrous Crown Prince

Chapter 5 – Transmigrated into a R-19 romance novel, There’s a rabbit. (5)

Translator – zimming

I lived alone with my grandmother in a small town before I transmigrated. After my grandmother passed away, I came to Seoul, but there was a longing for the quiet countryside in the corner of my heart.

I still remember picking up branches with my small hands, putting them in the furnace, cooking rice in a large cauldron, and making a bowl of soup.

The project for the cauldrons production was already planned inside my head. I would draw the picture for the cauldron and adjust the design with the blacksmith as he created the prototype. Since I had the experience of constructing a furnace, assembling a furnace by myself would be a breeze. I will start the project with two cauldrons and possibly increase them in the future. If they ask what the cauldron is and how did I think of this, I can just say I saw it in a cookbook about the East.

As she made up her mind and searched for a location to place the cauldron, she wandered around the palace. Suddenly, there was a shadow of someone behind her.

”Oh my god!”

I looked back in amazement.

”Sorry, I didn’t mean to surprise you.”

The boy standing behind her smiled.

He is still young, but he is tall and well-built. His face is sharp and defined. He also had dark and thick eyebrows, both combined with a slightly angular jawline.

Contrary to the mysterious and beautiful-looking Blake, he is a man with handsome features and defined lines.

Yet, his red eyes were full of arrogance.

Wait a minute…

Black hair and red eyes, a scar on the neck…

Instinctively I had a feeling. That boy is Richard, the male lead of ’The Beast and Lady.’

”Richard…?”

Still, I called his name carefully because there was a possibility that he might not be him. His arrogant smile deepened.

”Long time no see, Ancia.”

Ah, I must be right.

Richard is the second son of the Emperor’s brother, Duke of Cassil. Duke Cassil’s sons were considered to be the next Emperor. Because Blake, the Crown Prince, was cursed and destined not to live long.

However, Richard was far from obtaining the rights to succeed the throne. Because his mother is a lowly slave. The Asteric Empire had little discrimination against illegitimate children, but if they are children of slaves, the whole story changed.

Moreover, Richard was not born with silver hair, a symbol of the imperial family. His black hair inherited from his mother is also one of Richard’s complex.

When Emperor Tenstheon passed away, his younger brother Arnold Cassil abdicated the crown prince Blake and ascended the throne. It was Richard who made the most contributions at this time.

He was the best out of the duke’s three sons, but he was not recognized because of his mother’s blood. With the ambition to become an emperor, He removes his enemies one by one and eventually ascends to the throne. At the end of the novel, He used Diana to get rid of Blake.

This time, I’m going to stop the events. There won’t be a sudden death of Emperor Tenstheon or a situation in which Blake is ousted from the throne.

Blake is happy as it is. If the curse is lifted, he will be the next Emperor without any problems. There’s no room for Richard to maneuver or intervene.

”What can I do for you?”

By the way, why did the male lead come to see me?

Richard is a calculating man. He won’t do anything that won’t benefit him. He approached Diana in the original book because he felt the value of using her, knowing that she had lifted Blake’s curse. (Although he realizes his genuine love for the heroine in the end because it is a romance novel.)

He would have found no use of me being the wife of an abandoned prince.

”You made a scene as soon as you got married.”

”A scene?”

”I heard you’ve fired many of the palace’s servants”

”Ah…”

I see… You must have planted a spy among the servants I fired.

Currently, Richard was only 14 years old. Yet, he already planted a spy at that young age. I already knew from the book.

The maid who usually aids Blake was originally Richard’s maid. What surprised me was that Richard suddenly came to see me face to face.

Isn’t he very cautious?

Richard is so thorough that he could get rid of his enemies one by one with all sorts of schemes, but never to be seen until the last minute.

I didn’t expect you to visit me as soon as I fired a spy. It was like he was saying blatantly that he planted a spy in the crown prince’s palace.

”So?”

”You act rashly, so unlike yourself.”
