...Mariana?

(Smile-

마리아나 페르샤

Long time no see, Your Majesty.

릴리안느 마야

J, tell me to tell you..??

[Liliane's mouth fell open at the unfamiliar title she was hearing for the first time.]

[Mariana bent her knees to the little boy's eye level.]

마리아나 페르샤

I, Mariana Persia, the alchemist of the Imperial Palace, formally greet His Highness Prince Vi Blake, the First Prince of the Annette Empire.

뷔 블레이크

Really, really, is that Marie..?

[Because they were so close, V called Mariana 'Mary'.]

[Mariana smiled, seeming to like the nickname.]

마리아나 페르샤

Yes, Your Majesty. It's an honor to see you so happy.

You said you were 'happy'? Not 'happy'..?

Did something happen in the past..?

뷔 블레이크

...!

[Hot tears flowed from V's eyes when he heard the definitive answer that he was Mariana.]

Is he crying now..?

A kid that blunt..?

뷔 블레이크

..Marie, I'm sorry..

[V suddenly apologized while sobbing.]

[As tears continued to flow, the sleeves of V's pajamas began to darken.]

뷔 블레이크

And I know it's shameless to say this, but

뷔 블레이크

..Thanks for coming back.

마리아나 페르샤

No need to ask, Your Majesty.

Mariana was smiling, but her eyes looked somehow sad.

릴리안느 마야

Wait a minute, what's going on here..?

I couldn't join the conversation until the end, so I couldn't stand it anymore and had to join in.

마리아나 페르샤

Oh, sorry. I haven't explained it yet.

마리아나 페르샤

I think you are roommates... May I speak to you, Your Majesty?

뷔 블레이크

It's okay to tell me. You already know my secret.

[Kyle said indifferently.]

마리아나 페르샤

All right.

[Mariana nodded.]

(Mariana's POV)

Prince V Blake had a very difficult life.

So that's why you were cursed.

What happened to the 1st prince?

(V's point of view)

It was when Mariana and I had just turned 20.

That day was the day I ascended the throne from prince to emperor, succeeding my father, the current king.

And I despised that fact.

I, who was forced to hold the title of First Prince and first in line to the throne by birth, have been subject to harsh criticism ever since.

He was criticized by both the people and the palace for being the son of the Empress Dowager.

That's why I gritted my teeth even more and resolved to become a great emperor.

But it was only when the day of the coronation arrived that I faced reality.
