Chapter 110

Richard was seething with anger as he left the palace. He couldn’t even plant a spy in the palace like he did in the past.
At that ti, the Cassil family was very powerful, and Tenstheon also had the Crown Prince who was under the curse as a weakness.
But they were caught.
Tenstheon knew about the spies but he pretended he didn’t notice any of them. He captured all of the spies at the sa ti when he punished Duke Cassil.
It was a severe blow to the Cassil family.
They were caught planting spies in a clumsy manner so they couldn’t avoid punishnt.
Ancia had to deal with the Crown Prince as soon as possible.
Richard gritted his teeth and looked at the Forens Palace.
The Sephia Palace and Forens Palace were next to each other.
The emperor granted the palace to Ancia first, and soon, he gave the other palace to the Crown Prince.
‘If I had been born as Tenstheon’s child, that would have been my palace.’
Then suddenly, he saw a beautiful woman with white hair and a mysterious aura.
Richard’s gaze naturally followed her. She turned and looked at Richard too.
At that mont, Richard’s eyebrows furrowed.
Although the hair covered most of the woman’s face, he could still see so of her burn scars.
“It must be the girl the Crown Prince picked up in the valley of chaos.”
He was a monster.
So he must have a hobby of collecting monsters like him too.
Richard thought the woman was beautiful, but the mont he saw those scars, he couldn’t see her beauty anymore.
Furthermore, he thought that even the scarless side of her face was no match for Ancia.
Why did the Crown Prince keep a woman like that beside him?
Richard just couldn’t understand him.
In any case, she was the woman the Crown Prince cared for.
She might be useful. Richard approached Rose.

Blake gave the key to the Amoria Palace. He also allowed to enter the Imperial Library as I pleased.
Early in the morning, I went to the library to find a book about my condition. When I was heading back after I finished reading it, I ran into Richard.
I heard the news of the Cassil family from Chelsea.
Richard survived thanks to the people’s sympathy. Domiram also told others that his master was the Duke and Richard knew nothing.
That was all nonsense. He must’ve used Domiram’s black magic to manipulate the Duke of Cassil.
If I was here at that ti, perhaps Richard wouldn’t get away with it like this.
When I t him again today, I recalled my mories from a thousand years ago, making feel even more unpleasant.
Richard strode towards .
“Are you a maid here?”
He said with a mocking smile.
It was laughable to see Richard pretending not to know even though I was sure he knew who I was.
I quickly looked away from him, in case he misunderstood that I liked him like he did before.
“……”
I felt really sad and pained whenever the mories from a thousand years ago ca to mind.
Even the mories of Ancia’s life in the past.
Having suffered from the abuse of my father, Count Bellacian, since birth, I was not in the right state of mind.
If I didn’t marry Blake and fall into the river, I would’ve sothing else to end my suffering.
Out of those mories, there were so mories that bothered .
When Richard said I liked him before, I thought it was because Richard was popular like it was ntioned in the original novel.
Gilbert Bellacian loved to host and attend parties. Before his marriage, his family suffered from the lack of funds that he couldn’t afford to host parties, but after he remarried my biological mother, he often hosted and attended many parties.
I didn’t like these kinds of events, but I definitely couldn’t stay in my room because of those parties.
Gilbert Bellacian cared about his reputation the most so he didn’t want to be rumoured to be abusing his eldest daughter.
That’s why he forced to attend them even though I didn’t like it.
Gilbert Bellacian was stupid and emotional. He should’ve at least dressed up in good clothes.
I often wore worn out dresses that didn’t fit at every party. He also never introduced to anybody.
He just let attend it.
The aftereffect of his abuse caused to only sit quietly in the corner at every party and think of ways to avoid greeting others.
Other people also didn’t bother to talk to .
One day, I was sitting alone in the corner when I saw Richard. I couldn’t take my eyes off of him.
The mont I saw him, I got goosebumps all over my body. I didn’t know about my mories of a thousand years ago at that ti, but my body still responded that way when I saw him.
‘Who is he? Why did I feel an ominous feeling after seeing him?’
After that day, I stared at Richard whenever I attended the parties because I wanted to find out why I reacted like that whenever I saw him.
One day, he ca over to talk to .
“Lady Bellacian, do you like ?”
“Pardon?”
I was puzzled.
Who likes whom?
Is he saying that I like him?
“Thank you for that but please stop.”
“No…”
I tried to deny it.
But he didn’t listen to my explanation and left after saying what he had to say.
Now that I thought about it again, I felt it was very unfair.
When I recalled what had happened, I was filled with resentnt.
Who the hell liked whom?
I was just staring at him!
That’s why he had said that before!
If I rembered what had happened before, I would’ve protested.
He’s got a knack for pissing people off.
Richard asked , “What’s your na?”
“……”
Why would he ask that if he knew?
“I’d like to talk to you for a mont. Do you have ti?”
He gave a fake smile. Under his gentle gaze, I could feel a hint of his arrogance.
He was still the sa.
“We can et outside the palace if you want to.”
I accidently caught a glimpse of his eyes and got goosebumps.
Seeing how he seduced so blatantly, he must’ve known about and was trying to use .
I grew up with Phillip since we were children so I could notice whether or not he was pretending.
Even a thousand years later, he hadn’t changed. I could clearly understand his true intention.
I shook my head firmly and turned around.
“Hey, hold on.”
He didn’t expect that I would ignore him, so Richard called out to in an urgent voice.
But I entered Forens Palace without looking back.
***
Tenstheon was working in his office when Ser stepped inside.
“Your Majesty.”
As soon as she ca inside, she broke down in tears.
Tenstheon was startled and approached her.
“Ancia, what’s wrong?”
“Everyone seems to hate .”
“What does that an? Who doesn’t like you?”
Tenstheon panicked. He had specially selected Ancia’s servants and guards. There was no one who would ignore Ancia just because she lost her mories and was bad at etiquette.
“His Highness, the Crown Prince hates .”
“That’s not true…”
“My sister doesn’t even co to see .”
“Diana has an important test coming up. I’ll contact her as soon as the test is over.”
Tenstheon explained kindly, but Ancia kept whining.
“The maids and servants all look down on .”
“Who dares to look down on you.”
“All of them! Even lissa, the head maid, and the senior attendant! Yesterday I was going to et the Crown Prince but they tried to stop !”
“They’re not that kind of person. There must be so sort of misunderstanding.”
Everyone knew that lissa and Hans were always loyal to Ancia and would never ignore her.
Moreover, everyone was well aware of how much they missed and valued her.
Despite Tenstheon’s coaxing, Ancia continued, “Why are you taking soone else’s side?”
“I’m not taking any sides.”
“I wouldn’t have co here if I knew this would happen!”
Tenstheon was surprised at her outburst.
If it was soone else, Tenstheon would severely scold and punish her for being like this. But it was Ancia. It wasn’t her fault that her mory was gone and her personality changed like that.
“I’m sorry. Don’t cry.”
Tenstheon could only try to soothe her for now.
“I haven’t had a al together with His Highness yet. His Highness hates . I’m so sad.”
“I don’t think so. It has been a while so maybe there was a misunderstanding. I’ll call Blake over.”
“Really?”
She managed to stop crying.
“Yes.”
“Thank you, your Majesty!”
When Tenstheon nodded, she smiled broadly as if she hadn’t just been bawling her eyes out a mont ago.
Tenstheon couldn’t return her smile. He felt that sothing was strange with Ancia.
She frad lissa, Hans, and the Crown Prince too.
Tenstheon knew them well. They were genuinely nice people, yet she frad them so thoughtlessly.
He couldn’t feel a sense of guilt from her.
Why did she beco like this?
Either way, it wasn’t sothing the forr Ancia would ever do.
But seven years had passed, Maybe she had gone through a lot in those years.
If only he had protected Ancia back then, she wouldn’t have changed like this.
Testheon was worried about her.
