I Became the Wife of the Monstrous Crown Prince

Editor: bodyinthefreezer

Eunhan was not surprised because Baekhan came to see him from far away land, but he was shocked by his physical condition.

But Baekhan smiled happily.

“I was chosen by the White Dragon.”

“White Dragon?”

“Yes.”

The moment Eunhan found out that Baekhan had been chosen by White Dragon, his eyes flashed with alarm.

In the original story, Eunhan's circumstances had only been described briefly. For this reason, I didn’t have any detailed information on the Spear or Dragon skill.

But I could guess why he was wary of the White Dragon.

Eunhan had been chosen by the ominous Black Dragon, and the people wished to kill him because of that. Baekhan was a White Dragon, so he'd be at odds with the Black Dragon.

“What's a White Dragon doing here? Are you here to kill me?”

Baekhan shook his head hurriedly.

“No.”

“Then why did you come?”

“I'm here to pick up my brother.”

“Are you trying to send me away?”

“No way! I'm here to get you.”

“The White Dragon's vassal swears allegiance to its master.”

“What the hell is this?”

“The White Dragon chose Eunhan as my master. Please become the Emperor of Chang.”

Baekhan kissed Eunhan’s feet. As I watched from the side, I was surprised by the situation. However, Eunhan looked down at Baekhan rather coldly.

“I refuse. It must be one of your tricks.”

Eunhan answered without a moment's hesitation.

“It's not a trick! I came alone. I didn't tell anyone!”

“If that's true, then I’ll reject right away. And you keep your mouth shut.”

Eunhan snapped coldly. His reaction seemed rather unfamiliar and his normally soft demeanor was nowhere to be seen.

“Brother, do you know how much I've been looking for you? I cried so much. I’ve missed you.”

“Get out.”

“Listen to me, brother. I'll explain everything. Please don't turn away from me.”

I felt sorry when I saw him begging on his knees. I carefully said to Eunhan, “Eunhan, why don't you listen to what he has to say? I don't know the details, but I don't think he's dangerous.”

“No. Your Highness, you can't trust him.”

Eunhan was firm. At that moment, Baekhan’s gentle expression suddenly changed and he turned to look at me.

“…Brother, are you really going to choose that girl over me?”

“Me?”

I said in their language. It was my first time using the language, but I was able to speak fluently because I was a polyglot.

But, why was he saying that all of sudden?

“Baekhan! Be respectful to Her Highness!”

Eunhan said in embarrassment. However, a white light had already lit up in Baekhan’s hands.

“I'm the only one who can serve you. No other people are acceptable.”

“Wait a minute. I…”

Before I could explain, the white light on his hand flew towards me. I closed my eyes reflexively. But nothing happened.

I opened my eyes carefully.

Baekhan had fallen on the floor. Eunhan, who was next to him, ran straight to me.

“Your Highness, are you alright? Were you hurt anywhere?”

“Oh, I'm fine. But that person…”

“He will wake up in a few moments. Don’t worry.”

“I'll bring him back home for now.”

Eunhan usually stayed in the Palace, but he also had a place outside the Palace. He didn't buy a mansion, but he said he lived in Collin’s house with him.

“Okay.”

When I nodded, Eunhan disappeared with Baekhan.

***

It had been more than three days since Eunhan had visited the Palace.

Eunhan told Tenstheon that his younger brother had come to visit him, so he was given a vacation.

Collin had to stay with Baekhan, but he looked unexpectedly happy about it.

“He’s very cute. Of course, his cuteness can’t hold a candle to the Crown Prince’s cuteness.”

Collin knew of Blake's cuteness too. Even though Baekhan’s appearance was outstanding, it was incomparable to my husband. Afterall, my Blake was the cutest in the world.

“He’s a man, isn’t he?”

“Maybe”

“What do you mean by maybe? Haven't you been staying together for a few days already?”

“Well, I don't know much about him because he always avoids me.”

“Avoids you?”

“Yes, but given his attitude, he must be a man.”

Collin remarked vaguely.

“…does Eunhan beat his brother up?”

“Haha. I don't know how the Chang culture is, but brothers are usually rough with each other.”

Collin didn't deny it. However, I couldn't imagine Eunhan, who was so courteous and nice, beating up his younger brother.

I thought it was an exaggerated joke since Collin said it playfully.

Anyway, Eunhan and Baekhan seemed to be getting along well. Like Baekhan said, I didn't think he was trying to hurt him.

I went back to the Crown Prince's Palace.

“Ancia!”

Upon arriving at the Palace, Blake came running to me with a bright smile.

“Your Highness, I'm here.”

“….Yes.”

“….Your Highness?”

He narrowed his eyes and pouted his lips, looking very obviously upset.

“Blake.”

“What?”

“I’m here.”

As soon as I called his name, he smiled with satisfaction and laughed.

“I missed you.”

“It's been less than an hour since I left the Palace.”

“I've been waiting for you for an hour.”

“Really?”

“Please talk to me casually.”

“It’s still awkward…”

“Then I'll wait a little longer.”

Blake grabbed my hand and put his hands on mine. His expression was calm, but his ears were flushed.

I was smiling at Blake, when I heard footsteps behind me.

When I turned, I saw Eunhan standing there.

“Your Highness, long time no see.”

“….”

“I don't think we’re close enough for you to say that.”

Blake tightly held my hand and said coldly.

He was being like that again. When would their relationship get better? Eunhan looked at us calmly and sounded unaffected by Blake’s cold attitude as he replied.

“That's right.”

“I have something to tell you, Your Highness.”

He wanted to tell me about Baekhan. I nodded.

“Okay let’s go into the room.”

I was about to go to the room with Eunhan, but Blake tightened his hold on my hand and wouldn't let go.

“Blake…?”

“You have to come back quickly.”

“Okay.”

Only then did Blake let go.

***

“I'm so sorry about that day. I almost put you in danger.”

As soon as Eunhan entered the room, he bowed his head and apologized.

“It’s okay, nothing happened. Are you all right?”

“Yes.”

He nodded his head. But contrary to his answer, his face looked very gaunt.

“May I ask what's going on?”

“…….”

“You don't have to say it if it's hard to say.”

“……no.”

Eunhan was silent for a moment and then said slowly.

“As you know, I'm a Prince of Chang. But that doesn't mean anything. The Emperor slept with a lot of women. A woman of high status would receive the title of concubine, but a woman of humble status wouldn’t get anything.”

The last Emperor of the Zelcan Empire had numerous Emperors and children. Eunhan had reacted rather furiously to this, and I realized why now. He had also been in that position.

“There were over a hundred children, such that even the courtesans couldn't memorize their names, but the Emperor took pride in it.”

If the Asteric Empire was founded by the Goddess of Light’s power, Chang was founded by the Dragons’ power. Some of the members of the royal family were even chosen by the Dragon, and they’d be called the ‘Yongin’.

Emperor Chang wanted to have as many yongin as possible in his generation, so he had over a hundred children. However, he didn't even know how many children he had, let alone their names.

This side of the story wasn’t mentioned in the original story.

“My mother was originally a commoner. But she was recognized for her strength and came to the capital. Then, she caught the Emperor’s eyes and he took her in, and that was the beginning of the tragedy.”

A moment of sorrow flashed past Eunhan’s eyes.

“The Emperor forgot my mother's existence before I was born. Due to my mother’s origin, she didn’t receive the title of a concubine and had to stay with the court ladies. Then, she gave birth to me, so she was recognized for having a son. She was also given a small place in a corner of the Imperial Palace. It was old and shabby, but it was a beautiful place with a small garden next to it.”

“The place must’ve been full of the scent of flowers.”

“Yes, it always smelled wonderful. I was happy when I was young. I got along well with Baekhan.”

He got along well with Baekhan? Baekhan seemed to be of Blake's age at most. Eunhan must be much older than him. I was curious about Baekhan’s age, but Eunhan's expression changed drastically all of a sudden.

“Then one day, I was chosen by a Dragon. It was the Black Dragon, an omen of death which was prophesied to destroy the country.”

Eunhan’s mother had found out about this, so she hid it thoroughly. Of course Eunhan did too. If it was found out, he wouldn't be able to guarantee that he’d get to keep his life.
