“Okay.”
Most of them were korean dishes, but there were also some others like steak and lobster.
They added my favorite foods among the dishes that were originally prepared. It seemed like the korean dishes were made in a hurry.
I was going to eat the steak, but I couldn’t cut it properly. It wasn’t because of the steak.
When I took over Ser’s body, my hands often trembled and couldn’t move properly.
So I unconsciously had a hard time using my hands.
My habits remained even after I returned to my original body so I still found it difficult to use the knife.
“Ancia, let me.”
ke exchanged my te with his te.
He had already sliced up the steak on his te so it was easy for me to eat.
Before, I used to be the one to cut his food for him.
“Thank you.”
I looked at ke as the memories of our past filled up my mind. Then, I heard Tenstheon’s voice.
“Ancia, here.”
Tenstheon cut up the shrimps and put it on my te.
“Thank you.”
I ate the other foods on my te before finishing the shrimp and steak.
“This is delicious.”
“Try this too.”
“There is already too much food on my te.”
I shook my head as the two of them kept putting food on my te.
They looked at each other. Then both of them opened their mouths.
“Wife, are you sick?”
“I’ll call the doctor right now!”
“No it’s not that! I’m full!”
I shouted embarrassedly.
I had to stop both of them before they really called for a doctor.

After finishing my meal, ke and I went back to the Pce of Forens.
ke escorted me as I got up to get out of the carriage. When I got off the carriage, I saw the red carpet from the carriage to the entrance.
The knights were lined up on both sides.
Now I had Ancia’s body. That’s why they prepared all this.
“Greetings to the blessing of the empire.”
The knights and servants behind them greeted us.
We walked down the red carpet while holding hands.
At the door stood Melissa, Hans, Terry and Edon.
It was nothing new since we already saw each other everyday.
But this time, we reunited with me as Ancia, not Rose.
“Sir Edon, thank you for the wee.”
“Please speak to us casually, Your Highness.”
Edon was confused about what to do.
When he hesitated to say more, Hans helped him.
“Yes, please speakfortably, Your Highness.”
“Okay…Hans.”
I tried not to voice out my nervousness. I looked at Melissa standing on the side and saw the tears rolling down her face.
“Melissa, why are you crying?”
“I’m sorry that I failed to recognize you before. I don’t have the face to look at Your Highness.”
“It’s only natural that you didn’t know because I didn’t tell you.
“But I’m so ashamed of myself.”
“Don’t say that. I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you.”
I grinned as I held Melissa and Hans’ hands tightly.
“Melissa and Hans, I know this is toote, but congrattions on your wedding.”
I said what I had always wanted to say since I came back.
Melissa sobbed even harder.
I hugged her and patted her back for a long time.

ke and I entered the Crown Princess’ bedroom.
I had been into the Pce of Forens, but I never really visited his room.
The room was the same just as how I decorated back then.
“How is it?”
“It’s cute, but it’s a little embarrassing.”
It was very cute, like the bedroom of a princess in a fairytale book.
I was embarrassed to see how hard I pretended to be a child back then.
‘I chose something like that…’
Come to think of it, I remembered something. I also chose the furniture for the guest room.
Melissa and the furniture owner were surprised, saying that my taste was mature and refined, unlike a child.
I was d to hear that remark and decorated my room as cutely as I could.
The furniture in the bedroom was also the same, but to think that my taste was this bad once…
‘It’s okay, I was young before.’
It was even more embarrassing because of the atmosphere.
“Is your room the same as before too?”
That’s right, I chose his room’s furniture too.”
“Would you like to see it?”
I nodded. We went into the Crown Prince’s bedroom that was next to this room.
Fortunately, this ce was fine. I didn’t overdo it when I decorated ke’s room.
Past me, good job.
As I was praising myself, I noticed a small doll lying beside the bed.
Oh right. I picked that one.
It looked so much like ke that I impulsively bought it.
It would’ve been really cute if it was the young ke holding it, but it didn’t match the majestic Crown Prince now.
“You still have the doll?”
“Yes.”
“Why didn’t you throw it away?”
“Why would I throw it away?”
“Still…”
I touched the rabbit doll’s ears.
The fur still felt soft as if it had been meticulously cared for.
Then Iughed.
“You look like-”
“What?”
“You look like the doll.”
I held the rabbit in my arms.
ke’s expression hardened.
“It doesn’t look like me.”
“Why? I think it looks just like you.”
Seeing my happy smile, ke’s expression hardened again.
Come to think of it, he looked like that when we were eating too.
I suddenly realized something.
“What’s wrong ke?”
“Do you think I am handsome?”
It was a random question.
“Father is still the most handsome man in the empire. His appearance hasn’t changed at all.”
Tenstheon was even cooler than before. He looked just as young as he was before.
“What about me?”
“ke is the most beautiful man in the empire.”
Tenstheon’s aura was overwhelming, but ke’s aura was mysterious and beautiful.
Now, I think I realized why ke’s appearance was praised so much in the novel.
“……”
He pouted as if he didn’t like my answer. Even when he was sulking, he still looked beautiful.
“I like your beautiful face.”
His expression soon brightened.
“Do you mean it?”
I never even thought that I didn’t like ke’s appearance.
A thousand years ago, Rakshul’s aura was simr to that of Tenstheon.
But ke took after thete Empress, so he looked beautiful.
However, as long as it was ke, it didn’t matter how he looked.
“I love you Ancia.”
“I love you too.”
I wanted to say it so many times that I wouldn’t ever regret not saying it enough times.
I touched the left side of his face, which was once engraved with the curse marks, when heughed and held my hand.
“Whose room should I sleep in today?”
“What?”
Whose room?
Of course ke would sleep in his room, and I would sleep in mine.
Did I even have to decide?
“We can sleep in our own rooms.”
I answered without any hesitation prompting him to look at me sadly.
“You said we will always sleep together…”
“Oh no, back then…”
I only did it to lessen ke’s pain before.
Besides, we were children before.
But now we were both adults.
ke was wearing a shirt that was rather loose, but I could feel his sturdy stomach behind the shirt.
Of course, his figure was rtively thinpared to the knights, but he was an adult man now.
Perhaps it was because his curse was lifted much sooner than scheduled and he practiced swordsmanship since he was young, but he looked much taller and muscr than what was described in the novel.
“Why? Don’t you like me?”
He looked down pitifully.
My heart ached when I saw him like that.
ke was the type to hide his pain without showing it.
But his heart was quite tender.
“Of course I like you.”
“You’ll be with me then right? You’re not gonna go away right?”
His beautiful eyes started to glisten with tears.
“Of course not! I won’t leave you.”
“Really?”
“Yes, I’ll be with you forever so don’t cry.”
I held him tightly and soothed him.
***
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was the face of a beautiful man.
‘Why did this happen?’
I wanted tofort ke because I thought he was hurt and reassured him that I wouldn’t leave again.
So I came tofort him, but somehow, I fell asleep on the same bed as him.
Of course, nothing happened. I just held his hands tightly and slept like before.
I looked at ke sleeping beside me.
With his eyes closed, his eyshes appeared to be longer.
He looked the same as he did when he was younger.
He still looked cute and harmless, bringing peace to my heart.
Well, this isn’t bad either. I couldn’t believe I could see ke as soon as I woke up again.
This was really not a dream.
I wanted to stroke ke’s hair but ke tightly grasped my hands.
It was exactly the same as before.
ke slowly opened his eyes while smiling.
“……”
At that moment, the pure and peaceful atmosphere suddenly changed.
I looked at the man who had be rather sexy, unlike seven years ago.
