Chapter 114 TL: Zimming

Editor: bodyinthefreezer

Chelsea had completely given up on Blake. It was only out of curiosity that she became Rose’s maid. She was curious about this woman who opened the Crown Prince’s heart that had been shut tightly for seven years.

She was only wondering what kind of person Rose was. She didn’t actually think she would end up defending her like this.

Now that the real Crown Princess was back, her position would be taken.

Chelsea was not interested in whom the Crown Prince would eventually choose.

But Chelsea hated this situation. She didn’t want to see Rose’s dishes be wasted just because of petty jealousy.

“The food might have germs.”

“You’re the one who looks like a germ.”

Chelsea spat out harshly.

“What did you just say?”

“Don’t you know what germs are? Are you really that ignorant?”

“Hey!”

Camilla came from a long standing Marquis family, but she had a rebellious streak. On the other hand, Chelsea was the only daughter of Count Brooke, who was one of the wealthiest men in the country.

Chelsea treated everyone equally, but Camilla was furious because she thought that she was being looked down on since she was born out of wedlock.

As both sides got even more heated up, the people around them just stood by and watched without any intentions of stopping them.

Then, after looking at the clock, Charlotte couldn't stand it any longer and said, “The food’s going to get cold! Whatever it is, let's take it out. His Highness and Her Highness are waiting!”

“Are you saying you don't mind His Highness eating this kind of food and getting sick?”

Camilla said to Charlotte. Camilla thought Charlotte would take her side, but she was wrong.

“Chelsea and Miss Rose will be the ones responsible if the Crown Prince gets sick anyway. Let’s go for now. If Melissa finds out that we were delayed because of this, we’ll be punished.”

Charlotte hated being scolded more than anything.

When she said that, the other maids also agreed.

“Yes. Let’s do that. The foods going to get cold.”

“Let’s just serve what we have.”

Camilla looked silently at the dish in Chelsea’s hands.

It was well known that the Crown Prince enjoyed the dishes of the East in the past.

But it was full of mushrooms, so they weren't sure whether or not the Crown Prince would eat it.

On the contrary, he might even get angry because of the dish.

Chelsea insisted on serving this dish so she would get humiliated instead.

“Right, we had no choice.”

Camilla smiled inwardly.

***

Rose’s dish would be served but there was another problem.

“We don’t have a main dish. Let’s just combine the side dish with the appetizer.”

Camilla said as she picked the mushroom egg as the appetizer.

“Yes, let’s do it that way.”

Chelsea nodded lightly.

Now, they had to present the dish to the Crown Prince.

The other maids didn’t even want to touch a dish made by Rose, so Chelsea presented it to Blake instead.

At that moment, Blake had been sitting with a bored expression on his face. When he saw the dish placed in front of him, he exclaimed loudly.

“Who made this?”

Chelsea was taken aback, but she quickly answered, “It was made by Miss Rose.”

“Rose…?.

“Where is Rose now?”

“She’s at Amoria Palace.”

Blake got up from his seat.

Then, Ser caught him in panic.

“Y-your Highness…you have to eat first.”

But Blake only shook off her hand quickly before running out of the place.

***

Amoria Palace was very quiet. This place had always been like this ever since Ancia left.

Blake quickly ran inside the palace, but he couldn’t find Rose.

He hurriedly ran up the stairs and stopped in front of Ancia’s room.

The door, which had been closed for so long, was somehow open.

Blake carefully stepped inside.

He finally found Rose.

Ancia’s room was full of rare items.

She had the largest pink diamond in the world, a teddy bear made of gold, and a necklace made of mana stones.

The treasures Ancia had received from both the Emperor and Blake filled up her room.

Rose was staring at a flower on the desk,

She looked at the red rose with a wistful expression and lightly touched the petals.

She touched it carefully, as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.

The moment Blake saw this scene, the string of reason snapped inside him.

Blake still had some hesitation when it came to Rose before because he wasn’t completely certain.

But now he knew for sure.

There was no other person who would react like that to a mere flower.

“Ancia.”

He called out the name of his only wife.

***

This room hadn’t changed a bit. They must’ve believed I would come back so they left the room as it was.

I looked at the rose on the desk. It was the first gift Blake gave me.

I touched the petals carefully as I gazed at it.

The rose had been preserved with magic but I was still worried it might go bad since so much time had passed.

The moment my fingers touched the soft petals, I was hit with a strong sense of nostalgia.

“Ancia.”

I turned around, startled by the sudden sound.

I saw Blake standing at the door. Before I knew it, he came towards me and enveloped me in a hug.

“Ancia.”

He called my name again.

I could see it in his eyes. I didn’t have to guess or ask.

Blake was already convinced that I was Ancia.

I also wanted to say I was Ancia. However, my whole body would go stiff again.

Blake stroked my face.

“Ancia…you’re Ancia, right?”

“……”

“I’ve been attracted to you since the first time I saw you. My heart always responded to you. I’m happy when you laugh, and sad when you cry. I was jealous when you looked at another man. It has always been you all along. I’ve only ever felt this way towards you. You’re Ancia, my wife.”

“Ancia, answer me. It’s me, your husband.”

When I stood there without saying anything, he pleaded with me.

His eyes were desperate like before, when he told me not to leave.

I wanted to say yes too. I tried to move my lips, but it felt as if my lips had been glued together.

I tried my best, and my lips very slightly opened.

‘Blake…’

I called his name.

Although I could only mouth it, I said his name and stared at him for the first time. I wanted to say that I was Ancia but I couldn’t say anything.

Suddenly, Blake kissed me.

I was surprised by the sudden kiss for a moment, but I responded soon.

I could smell the faint smell of roses that had always surrounded him.

Our lips parted after a while and he hugged me again.

“Ancia, I missed you. I missed you so much that I nearly went crazy.”

He stroked my face.

I wanted to say that I felt the same way, but all of a sudden, my whole body began to heat up and blood dripped from my mouth.

I hurriedly closed my mouth but the blood had already dripped through my fingers.

“Ancia!”

I heard Blake’s urgent cry.

I wanted to tell him that I was alright but I fainted.

***

After Blake suddenly left during the meal, Ser returned to her room in Sephia Palace.

Shell had followed Ancia to Amoria Palace and quickly reported what she saw.

Ser listened to Shell’s report and turned her head towards the door.

The door opened and Blake came inside.

Shell was stunned but quickly went hid herself.

Ser put on an innocent expression.

“Your Highness, you shouldn’t leave so suddenly like that. I’ve been waiting for you all by myself.”

“You don’t need to act anymore.”

Blake shook off Ser’s hand harshly.

Ser widened her eyes and looked at him.

“Your Highness, what are you talking about? What do you mean by acting?”

“What did you do to Ancia?”

The moment Ancia fainted, he could see a small light flowing around her.

Blake didn’t know what it was at first

But then he saw the small light fly into Sephia Palace.

No, the small light had always been by her side, but it only revealed itself now.

“What? What do you mean by that?”

“Stop acting. I know about the small light fluttering around beside you.”

Blake already said to her from the start that he had never thought of her as the real Ancia.

However, he was still confused whether it was all Richard’s plan or hers.

But the moment the light came to this woman's side, everything became clear.

Blake pulled his sword out and pointed it at Ser’s neck.

“Humans are stupid, but you managed to find out.”

“It concerns Ancia after all. I would do anything for her. It’s all because of my love for her.”

“Who are you? And what did you do to Ancia?”
