NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1 - Revenge 1
‘Unforgivable.’
‘I won’t forgive them!’
A man and a woman promising love in a grand temple.
They smile with joy.
’That’s absurd!’
“Long live the Crown Prince!!!”
“Congratulations to the Crown Princess!!!”
The Crown Prince and Princess wave from the balcony of the royal palace.
The crowd cheers for them.
‘I won’t stand for it.’
‘I absolutely won’t stand for this!!’
‘To falsely blame and shame my elder sister like this…!’
They killed my sister.
She was smart and finished her princess training.
The royal family thought she knew too much, so they didn’t want her wandering around.
They said she went to a convent, but that’s not true!
They made her drink poison before she could go, and she died.
They know it, but they act like she’s still alive.
“It’s all just a measure to maintain the power of the royal family!!”
The king ordered to keep my sister’s death a secret until things calm down.
Probably because the Crown Prince begged him to.
Even though he used to be engaged to her, Bridget Beatrice Pezzalot, the Duke’s daughter who comes from royal lineage, he has to mourn for three years.
It’s a way to honor my sister, who was born with “colors” of the royal family.
But the Crown Prince disliked that.
No, precisely because he wanted to quickly marry the favored Saintess and make her his princess.
A man with a weak will on his waist couldn’t possibly wait for three years.
Soon after the wedding, it was announced that the newlywed Crown Princess Luce was pregnant.
“What… what’s happening!?”
The baby, born with striking red hair and brown eyes, arrived earlier than anticipated.
However, while the Crown Prince has blonde hair and blue eyes, and the Crown Princess has blonde hair and golden eyes, this newborn didn’t inherit either of their traits.
“This has to be a mistake!!!“
No one dared to confront the Crown Princess, who adamantly denied it with a pale face.
And for good reason.
It was evident to all that the child didn’t belong to Crown Prince Enrique.
Moreover, the appearance of a man with the same ‘color’ as the child born to the Crown Princess heightened suspicions.
The escort knight, with his red hair and brown eyes matching the child’s, was likely the father.
Furious, the Crown Prince stabbed the escort knight to death.
The escort knight, bearing a striking resemblance to the baby with red hair, met his demise as a traitor to the royal family for his affair with the Crown Princess.
Yet, the turmoil within the royal household didn’t cease there.
Rather, it intensified.
Formerly silenced by the Crown Prince’s favor, as well as that of other noble sons, the ladies who once couldn’t voice their grievances against the Crown Princess now sought revenge.
Noble maiden whose engagements were ended by the Crown Princess while they were in school, and married noble women who were cheated on by their husbands began to speak out about it.
Furthermore, Young noblemen accused her of frequenting various men.
A woman who, despite being the Crown Princess, had children with another man.
Suspicions swirled among the nobility.
“Was the Duke’s daughter, whose engagement was broken, really abuse the Crown Princess?”
“First of all, It’s unimaginable that a daughter of a duke, regardless of her reputation as a saint, would directly involve herself with a mere commoner. Given the influence of the duke’s family, applying pressure on the temple would be straightforward.”
“Despite being referred to as a saint, her abilities are limited to light magic., right?”
“While light magic is indeed rare, its practical utility is limited. It’s primarily known for its rarity rather than its effectiveness.”
“We also conducted an investigation, but the outcomes were disappointing. All allegations of abuse turned out to be completely false. It appears that the royal family didn’t even carry out a thorough investigation into Lady Bridget.! “
“Even the recent announcement regarding Lady Bridget’s condition appears questionable.”
“Are you suggesting it’s a fabrication?”
“Yes, it appears she wasn’t sick but rather murdered.”
“By the royal family?”
“Who else? Lady Bridget, with her distinctive purple eyes, a hallmark of the royal lineage, likely posed a threat. There are rumors that the Crown Prince was involved with a commoner even during their engagement. It’s plausible that upon learning about the pregnancy early on, he saw his betrothed as an obstacle. Hence, they probably orchestrated false allegations against her.”
The scandal with the Crown Princess marked only the start of the royal family’s damaged reputation.
Meanwhile, the unfair treatment of my older sister by the royal family not only weakened their authority but also profoundly shaken the country’s political stability.
