Chapter 28 A yellow puppy adores me (8)

TL:Zimming

Father, theres no such thing as black magic that puts the curse of a goddess on someone else. Dont trust it if you ever hear that. You have to watch out for the Cassil family, especially Richard.

Do you think Ill get deceived by such a thing?

He raised the corners of his mouth as if to reassure me.

There was a reason why Tenstheon fell into Richards trap in the original novel.

One day, Blakes condition becomes serious and to make the matter worse, the dark door opens.

Tenstheon tried to seal the door to fulfill the Emperors duty, but if he used the power of light, he could not guarantee Blakes life.

Tenstheon, driven into the extreme situation, uses black magic even though he knows its a dangerous gamble, and ends up losing his life.

I will surely resolve the curse of the Crown Prince, so please trust me.

Youre nagging again.

Im not, its necessary advice.

Dont worry. I have two children to take care of, but I dont act rashly.

He disheveled my hair lightly.

A child to be protected. One is Blake. The other one is me.

According to the original story, the emperor loses his life this year. But that wont happen.

Ill protect him.

Knights academy admission is faster than other places. Its because the students need to endure the cold winter training to strengthen their determination.

I wanted Diana to achieve her dream of becoming a knight, but I am worried because she said she needs to train in the cold winter, not in the blooming spring.

But Diana, the person involved, was very excited like a puppy.

Your Highness, you know I only trust you, right? Without you, I wouldnt be able to go to the academy because I was worried about her. Please keep her safe!

Yes, sister-in-law, dont worry, its good to work hard, but be careful not to get hurt.

Dont worry about me. Im going to graduate first and be a knight!

It was nice to see both of them getting along well.

Lets discuss who likes her more in six years.

Didnt we come to a conclusion already?

Oh, it was my victory.

What do you mean? I won!

Come on, lets go. Well be late for the entrance ceremony if we wait any longer.

Yes! Your Highness, see you in the summer vacation!

Ill wait.

Your Highness, Ill be right back.

Yes. Have a safe trip, Ancia.

Only students and family members were allowed to attend the entrance ceremony for the Knights Academy.

I rode a carriage with Diana and headed to the Knight Academy.

Diana, dressed in a black pants uniform of the Knight Academy and tied her hair, looked so cool.

Diana, the Countess cant come because shes busy.

I brought it up carefully.

I have sent several letters to Countess Bellacian. It is natural that Count Bellacian who is exiled wont be able to attend the entrance ceremony, but his wife needs to congratulate her daughter on walking a new path.

But she refused.

I know. They said she was going to the church today to file for divorce.

Diana said in a casual tone.

Divorce?

It was a loveless family in the first place. In the original novel, the Bellacian couple were only someone that filled each others vanity. But they didnt get divorced.

My mother says that my father is completely crazy, and I am the source of everything. Shes sick and tired of both of us.

You did nothing wrong. Never mind them.

I dont care. I have a nice sister.

Diana came next to me and folded her arms. I patted her shoulder, too.

Sister. Take this.

She popped up a small jewelry box.

What is this?

Its the Bellacian ring and key to the mansion. I guess my mother had it when my father left. She sent it back to me saying shes going to divorce now. So take it. This is yours now.

Diana, I cant take this.

I tried to refuse. But Diana put the jewelry box back on my hand.

The Bellacian family was originally on the verge of ruin. But they didnt go bankrupt thanks to your biological mother, and most of the assets are hers. So its originally yours.

As she said, the property of the Bellacian is a legacy that Ancias mother had left to the real Ancia.

.Thank you.

Im finally giving it back to the rightful owner. What do you mean thank you?

She gave me everything and smiled gladly.

Then the carriage stopped slowly.

Oh! I guess weve arrived!

Diana opened the curtain on the carriage. Then a panoramic view of the grand knight Academy was revealed.

The academy is crowded with people who participated in the entrance ceremony. There were many aristocrats among them, but the eyes of the people were on us.

When Tenstheon heard that I was going to the entrance ceremony, he sent the emperors carriage and the finest knights to escort us.

Diana reached out to me with her head slightly down like a real knight.

Your Highness, shall we go?

I put my hand on Dianas. As I got off the carriage under Dianas escort, a magnificent trumpet sounded.

Oh my, father. Why did you prepare all of this?

As we walked on the red carpet in front of the carriage, the academy students and nobles greeted me as a crown princess. And the dean of the academy greeted me as a representative.

The Crown Princess, the blessing of the Empire, I greet you.

I was just going to celebrate quietly as a freshmans sister, but the scale became too big for me.

I came to watch the entrance ceremony next to the dean on the platform.

It was a bit burdensome at first. However, since Diana was in the front row because they sit according to their rank, it was a good place to see her.

I watched the entrance ceremony with my heartfelt thanks to father.

Knights Academys entrance ceremony was very boring. But Diana didnt show any sign of being bored, instead she sat up straight and looked very mature today.

The entrance ceremony ended with the chief admissions officer coming to the podium as a representative and shouting the academy oath.

New students were given a short greeting time with their families because they had to enter the dormitory immediately.

Sister, at graduation Im going to be on the podium.

Diana cast a glare at the red-haired boy who was at the podium. Her eyes were burning with a competitive edge.

Dont overdo it. Being strong is more important than the rank.

Its important to rank high too.

Youre starting the winter training tomorrow. Cant you even use a fire manastone?

Its okay. Im not the only one who cant use it.

Diana said calmly. She seems to have grown significantly in a few months.

At that time, a voice sounded to announce entrance from afar.

Sister, Im going.

Yes, go ahead.

Phew, I cant leave my pretty sister behind. Tell me if theres a person bothering you. Ill go after them and give them a lesson later.

Dont worry about me. And write a lot of letters.

Yes! Ill write a lot of letters to you!

Diana ran to the dormitory waving her hands.

***

I showed Blake a video of the entrance ceremony today.

Dianas cool.

Right?

Diana studied hard and entered the Academy of Knights, I felt proud for that reason.

Was the lady always this mature?

Melissa and Hans, who were watching the video together next to her, were also amazed to see Diana.

Yes, I didnt know.

I remember the old days. It was snowy when I entered the school. I thought I was going to die while holding my sneeze.

You were the top student, werent you?

Then you must have stood on the podium, too?

Yes, I was so busy holding my sneeze to the end. I was a child then.

Suddenly, Blake blurted out.

Did you take a video of Ancia?

Its not even my entrance ceremony. Why would they?

No. I took it.

Hans replied and brought a large box. The box was filled with video stones.

I captured Her Highness in the video.

There were as many as 20 videos.

Judging from the title alone, it seemed like a normal entrance ceremony, but when I played the video again, It was filled with myself who was at the entrance ceremony.

Why did you take this?

His Majesty ordered it.

I cant believe hes wasting the expensive video stones like this.

Why did he order this?

Melissa smiled.

It must be a gift.

Gift?

Yes. His Majestys gift to the Crown Prince.

No way. I dont think theres anyone in the world whod like this gift, but I heard Blakes voice.

Wow! Ancia laughed!

Blakes eyes were glistening while seeing me in the video, I guess my little groom like the boring video.
