I Became the Wife of the Monstrous Crown Prince-Chapter 162: Into the light we dream of (8)

Chapter 162 – Into the light we dream of (8)

TL: Zimming

“Where are you going, Your Highness!”

“I need to see Mrs. Marcelle!”

I ran quickly to Mrs. Marcelle’s room.

“Your Highness, please save me!”

She cried as soon as she saw me.

Mrs. Marcelle only had mild symptoms of tancinol, but she was terrified of the disease.

“Mrs. Marcelle, calm down.”

When Chelsea spoke, Mrs. Marcelle lowered her head in embarrassment.

“I, I was scared. I’m sorry.”

“No, it’s natural to be scared.”

I soothed her for now.

“Thank you for your understanding.”

“I’d like to ask you an important question. Can you answer honestly?”

“Yes, of course.”

She nodded furiously.

“Did you drink the tea on the day of the tea party at the Sephia Palace?”

She was very surprised when I asked this.

“I’m not blaming you. It’s an important question, so please be honest.”

“Th, that…no.”

Mrs. Marcelle hesitated and eventually shook her head.

“I pretended to drink, but I didn’t drink it. I don’t like it for some reason…I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.”

She apologized again and again.

“No, thank you for being honest.”

I asked the same question to the other people who attended my party and got tancinol.

And they all answered that they didn’t drink the tea.

Speculation turned into conviction.

The answer is ‘Taekri Tea.’

Tenstheon and the ladies at the tea party all drank the tea and were not caught in tancinol.

However, Collin and the other ladies who did not drink tea fell ill.

Taekri Tea blocked the tancinol.

For the first time since the tancinol outbreak, I smiled brightly.

Finally, I found a way to cure tancinol.

I brought taekri tea from the palace and prescribed it to the patients.

However, the responses were divided into two.

“We’re getting better!”

“I’m sorry, but nothing has changed.”

I also know why their bodies respond differently like this.

The person who drank taekri tea that Eunhan gave me showed no improvement, and the person who drank the taekri tea that Blake and I raised with the mana of light began to improve.

Taekri tea must’ve had some strength.

As Blake and I grew it with mana of light, the mana of light must’ve coexisted with the tea.

When Ser attacked me at the door of darkness, Baekhan’s bracelet prevented the attack.

He was chosen by the white dragon, but he prevented the power with only a bracelet.

It’s not because the bracelet is more powerful.

Strength and mana are different in nature, and they have a nature that interferes with each other.

Phillip twisted the mana of light to make tancinol, and even if we used the mana of light for treatment, it would rather cause recoil and worsen their condition.

However, the strength of the tea destroyed the system.

And it helped the mana of light enter the body.

Thanks to its strength, mana of light was able to enter the body without any disturbance, weakening the defence and improving their condition.

Perhaps if it was an ordinary mana or extracted mana, this dramatic effect would not have occurred. Even if it reached the body, there was a possibility that it could have an adverse effect.

However, it had a definite effect because it has the same power as the tancinol.

When Phillip’s power brought the twisted mana of light back to the original one, it began to return to its original form.

“You did it after all. Congratulations. You’ve been through a lot.”

Blake wrapped his arms around my shoulders.

“Thanks, but I wish I had known sooner.”

Only patients from aristocrats did not have a balanced gender ratio. But it wasn’t a big deal.

Because it was like that a thousand years ago.

Philip preferentially eliminated his rivals or threatening political opponents, and as a result, men were more likely to get tancinol.

So I thought it was like that again.

Richard has a high-ranking in succession to the throne, so he was planning to remove those who might block him from becoming the emperor.

Phillip and Richard have the same soul, but they are a different person.

It is important to take lessons from the past, but it was not good to be bound by memories of a thousand years ago.

“It’s good enough. You’re working too hard. You’ve done what no one has done for a thousand years. You solved my curse, you found a cure for tancinol. You deserved to be complimented and be happy.”

“Yes.”

As Blake said,

It was time to focus on the treatment of tancinol rather than regretting. Finding a cure is not the end.

I had to make enough taekri tea to treat all the patients right now.

***

After trying various methods, I found out that it is much more effective to eat tea leaves directly than to drink the tea.

I immediately gave all the patients a prescription to eat the raw tea leaves.

But Collin was frightened by bitter tea leaves.

“I’m fine. I’ll drink tea even if I get better a little later.”

I was speechless and laughed.

“Look at the kids, they’re eating it well.”

It was serious enough for him to leave a suicide note, but now that the cure has been found, he have a lot of space to consider the taste.

He kept being stubborn, but it didn’t last long.

Hearing the news about it, Tenstheon sent a letter in a great rage, and Collin began to put the bitter tea leaves on his mouth.

Just what was written on the letter…

Anyway, as a result, Collin consumed so much bitter tea leaves and recovered quickly.

I held Collin’s hand and checked his condition. The twisted mana of light was completely gone.

“Congratulations. You’re all better now.”

“Thank you, your highness.”

“No, you say thank you to the bitter tea leaves.”

“Now I’m free from that terrible taste.”

“It’s the leaves that saves your life, isn’t it too harsh?”

“No matter how much of a life-saving thing it is, I can’t say it’s delicious.”

He shook his head. It must have been that terrible to him.

“Now go home and enjoy your favorite food.”

“No, I’ve rested too much, so I’ll go back to the palace.”

“My father told you to rest. Take a good rest for now.”

“Then I will do it.”

Collin was becoming a little thinner, but he regained colors on his face and there’s no tancinol on his body left.

When I saw him completely healthy, I smiled at him.

“Did you throw that letter away?”

I asked about Collin’s will before. Then he answered firmly.

“Yes, I tore it apart.”

Collin said while smiling, I also smiled back at him.

One by one, many people are healed. The shadow of death hanging over the capital was also disappearing.

***

A few days ago, the capital, which used to be filled by fear of death, was now in a festive mood.

Newspapers that criticized not only the Roums but also the imperial family, changed their attitudes overnight.

They were now busy praising the Crown Princess for finding a cure for tancinol.

Richard was reading a newspaper article without saying a word.

Karan and Connin looked at him.

“I don’t care if they found a cure. It’s enough to spread it to more people. I’ll try harder!”

Karan gritted her teeth and said that.

Richard’s plan to cover the empire with tancinol was disappearing.

However, they couldn’t give up like this.

‘Richard should be the Emperor.’

That was the only thought in Karan’s head.

However, unlike Karan, who was impatient, Connin did not say anything. Neither did Richard.

His expression was relaxed even when the plan failed. Rather, he looked happy.

“You don’t have to.”

Richard kept his eyes on the newspaper.

“It’s useless now.”

Tancinol was incurable. Only death awaited the moment it was caught.

Therefore, it was possible to terrorize the empire for a thousand years.

But now, there are treatments and preventive measures. Tancinol was no different from a cold.

Its value was completely gone. In this situation, it was just meaningless to cause another outbreak.

“That’s incredible.”

Richard smiled at the portrait of Ancia in the newspaper. After a thousand years of hard work, she finally found a cure for tancinol.

She is really a great woman.

The portrait of Blake next to Ancia was very annoying, but it didn’t matter anymore.

Richard looked at Connin.

“Connin.”

“Yes, master.”

“I’ll give you an important command. You must succeed.”

This will be the last order to Connin.

Tancinol’s cure was unexpected, but it didn’t matter.

There was still one last plan left.

The moment has come when he re-occupy the empire he established himself a thousand years ago and make Ancia his woman.
