I Became the Wife of the Monstrous Crown Prince - Chapter 151: How about a cup of warm

Chapter 151: How about a cup of warm

“Are you taking sides because you’re a demon like him?

He called me a demon without even noticing.

He didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding the fact that he spread the rumor.

“Priest, if you really think I’m a demon, file a trial. Ah, of course, you know what the punishment is when you accuse an innocent person as a demon?”

“……”

He kept his mouth shut. He would also know well that I am not a demon.

They spread rumors to create a favorable situation for themselves, but they don’t want to start a trial.

“…are you threatening me?”

“Isn’t it you who questioned me for being a demon? I don’t know why you feel threatened.”

“Don’t change the subject! They got tancinol. We need to get rid of them right away.”

“No. I’ll say it again, that’s not a tancinol.”

When they’re caught with tancinol, they’ll vomit blood, their skin turns black, and eventually their bones will be damaged.

Blood has flowed from the captain’s gums, and his appearance has changed because his teeth have fallen out. His skin also looked black because of bruises.

At first glance, it was similar to tancinol, but it was a completely different disease.

“Then what is it!”

Howard screamed. He pretended to be confident, but he actually felt anxious.

They probably didn’t even check them properly.

It’s similar to tancinol, so they used it to create a false public opinion for their interest.

There must have been no concern for the lives of more than dozens of sailors.

So he’s nervous because he might be wrong.

“It’s a scurvy.”

“Scurvy?”

At the moment, the tension on Howard’s face disappeared.

“I’ve never heard of it before. Did you just make that up?”

“No, I saw it in a book.”

I saw it in a book from Korea, not in this world.

Scurvy was a disease that plagued european sailors during the age of discovery.

If they get this disease, they will get anemia, bruise easily, bleeding gums and tooth loss. Hematuria is also a symptom of scurvy.

Furthermore, pale skin, queasy eyes were also evidence of scurvy.

This was the same as the symptoms of Captain Barley now. The other crew members will have the same disease.

“What book is it?”

“You won’t know it.”

“Are you underestimating me?”

Howard was furious. But I smiled nonchalantly.

“Oh, don’t misunderstand me.”

“Misunderstand?”

“I’m a polyglot. I could read all the books in the world.”

When I revealed that, the surroundings were noisy again.

Howard also looked surprised, but he quickly hid his expression.

“I’ve never heard of it before. I’m sure you make that up too.”

Blake was getting more and more impatient.

He was ready to point his sword at Howard any moment. But I held his hand tightly.

There was no reason for him to get his hands dirty. I’m telling them the truth, and clumsy lies are bound to be discovered.

“If I treat them, will that prove everything?”

“There is no cure for tancinol. They can’t get better if they get caught. No one has been able to cure it for a thousand years. You don’t even know that?”

“I know. But the crew didn’t get tancinol.”

“Are you trying to use your demonic powers?”

Even if I succeed in treatment, did he mean that I will be driven out with the power of the demon? He’s playing dirty tricks.

“No, I won’t use magic or mana stone.”

“Then how do you fix it?”

“Strawberry.”

If the symptoms of scurvy worsen, it can eventually lead to death.

In fact, countless people lost their lives due to this disease.

However, the treatment was simple compared to other severe symptoms. We don’t even need medicine.

All they have to do is take vitamin C.

Scurvy is a disease caused by a lack of vitamin C.

The sailors did not get enough food with vitamin C during their long voyage at sea. That’s why they’re sick.

Especially, men in Asteric do not eat fruit very well.

This is because there is a myth that eating fruit weakens one’s energy, and that meat is the only good food for men.

Even so, they usually eat a little of it with other dishes, but it wasn’t the case on the boat.

Foods prepared for the voyage were mainly dried meat, bread, and cheese. The fruit was completely missing.

The original story tells the story of people from the Chang coming over to the Asteric. However, no one complained about scurvy even though they came across the vast ocean like them.

Chang has developed a food culture centered on fruits and vegetables rather than meat.

When they left the voyage, they would have prepared food mainly with fruits and vegetables, so scurvy did not occur.

“Strawberry? Are you kidding me?”

“Then do you have lime or lemon?”

“What? Why are you saying that? What are you doing? Are you going to put some demonic power in the fruit?”

Maybe he thought I was making up a lie, so Howard completely relaxed and poured out harsh words.

“What would you do if I really treated their illness? Can you take responsibility for the remarks?”

“Of course.”

“Can you step down from being a priest?”

“Th, that…”

“Why? Are you not confident? Then how dare you insult me and the imperial family with something that’s not clear?”

When I said so, the onlookers agreed with me and said,

“What, were you lying?”

“Wasn’t that tancinol?”

“Your Highness is a polyglot. She knows everything.”

“So they’re all a lie?”

“The curse of the goddess was lifted by her. She did what the church couldn’t do in a thousand years, and of course she knows better.”

They were really easily swept away. In any case, as the criticism poured out against them, Howard said urgently.

“Okay, I’ll do it. Instead, if it’s really tancinol, you’ll have to take responsibility for it.”

“What do you want?”

“You’ll apply for a trial yourself.”

If I am found innocent after filing for a trial, the reporter must give up their life.

However, if I apply for a trial on my own, I will be fully responsible for the results.

As soon as the trial begins, Howard will mobilize all his power to make me into a real demon.

He was a really mean person.

He wants me to risk my life, and he will only come down from his position?

“Alright.”

But I said yes.

“Ancia!”

“Your Highness!”

Blake and the knights shouted in astonishment.

It was a disadvantageous condition for me, so it was natural to worry. But I was confident.

Scurvy will surely be cured. And…

“You have to be punished for your sins after you leave your position.”

“Let’s talk again after you cure the tancinol.”

“It’s a scurvy.”

I smiled and asked him for a handshake. Howard raised his head arrogantly and shook my hand.

“Remember this clearly.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m Ancia Raelle Geracillion. The only Crown Princess of the Asteric Empire.”

I let the mana of light flow to him and said that.

No matter how much he has risen with the power of his family, he is still a priest.

He knows that this is the mana of light.

I have the power of a goddess just like Blake.

“Yo, you…!”

Howard’s face turned pale as if he had understood my intention.

I gave a relaxed smile to Howard.

***

“Are you sure they’re all better?”

Howard was shocked to hear Gail’s report.

“Yes, it’s true.”

“Isn’t the Crown Princess using tricks?!”

“No, I just checked, just in case, they were all ordinary fruits. It must have really been a disease called scurvy.”

Ancia was right. As she said, they only ate fruits, but the sailors were getting better.

Is she really a polyglot?

“In addition, today, the imperial palace announced that the Crown Princess was indeed a polyglot and had the power of light.”

“What?”

So he’s not mistaken about the mana he felt then? Is it true that she’s got a power of light?

The Crown Princess was able to lift the prince’s curse, have the power of light, and even have language skills.

They could only think of her as a woman who was really chosen by a goddess.

‘Darn it, why did they only tell us now?’

If the imperial family had revealed this fact first, they could have made up rumors accordingly.

Her power of light was a fake, and it could have been said that her language ability was also obtained through a contract with demons. But it’s already too late.

The rumor that Howard made has already spread. They’re not gonna believe them if he fixes the rumours now.

“What do we do now?”

He said about the curse of the goddess, insisting on the wrong disease as a tancinol, and drove the Crown Princess, who was chosen by the goddess, into a trial.

It was his fatal mistake.

He also promised to resign his post when the sailors got better.

But before that, he’ll be kicked out.

In addition, many believers betrayed Howard and revealed all the bribery and corruption he had committed.

If that was true, the Kensway family as well as Howard were doomed.

Yet in the midst of an absolute crisis, Howard quickly regained his composure.

“Don’t worry. There’s still a way.”

The Kensway family has not only been on a roll for a thousand years without any challenges.

Many people feel threatened by their growing power, even the emperor once targeted their family.

However, despite the crisis, the Kensway family remained firmly in power. It was thanks to the treasure.

‘Phillip’s gift.’

It is time for them to use the treasure.
