CH 73

Felix Blake.

His last name was Sylvester until recently.

As the crown prince of the empire, he was reduced to the son of a traitor overnight.

Felix couldn’t stand the gap.

“Why on earth did this happen? I didn’t do anything wrong.”

His eyes were dark blue, not taking medicine made from the Empress’ blood.

It was a color that resembled the eyes of the executed Duke Blake.

Felix lived his whole life as a crown prince and saw many things.

He has seen countless people who are mistakenly involved and become victims even if they did nothing wrong.

He didn’t think much of it then.

But now that it’s his own business, it’s changed.

“It’s unfair. Why should I be humiliated like this when I lived as a crown prince?”

In fact, Felix was also vaguely guessing.

That his eyes’ color were artificially made.

He took medicine every morning, but on days he missed it, his eyes turned darker.

‘The royal family, who inherited the blood of the imperial family, was born with blue eyes.’

At that moment, Felix got goosebumps.

‘Then whose son am I?’

The answer was immediately clear.

Duke Blake, who had a child the same age as him, but that child disappeared.

Duke Blake’s eyes were dark blue.

At first, Felix was confused, but he soon concluded.

‘It doesn’t matter.’

He was the crown prince now. That was a fact that would not change.

He believed that Duke Blake would have handled the real crown prince well.

However, Felix eventually returned to Blake’s mansion.

Blake’s mansion was spacious and luxurious, but it was not so in Felix’s eyes, who had lived in the imperial palace all his life.

“I’m the crown prince. I have to go back to the palace.”

If he disposes of all the obstructions, he can return to the palace.

Felix truly believed so.

The first target was definitely Roselina.

If she hadn’t revealed the truth, if she hadn’t brought Calix, Felix could have continued to live as the crown prince.

“I won’t quit.”

Felix vowed to take revenge in the dark mansion.

And then, one day.

“The opportunity has finally come.”

Felix shined his eyes.

Today was the opening day of Rose House, which Roselina opened.

At the center of the capital city of the Sylvester Empire

The white building was built on the best street.

People glanced at the building with curious eyes.

There was a sign board that was big enough to occupy half of the white building, but there was nothing written on it.

“What’s that place?”

“Is it not built yet? The sign is empty.”

“Look at that!”

People’s eyes were on the sign.

They thought the board was an empty sign, but it wasn’t.

The people who saw the board begin to shake were agitated.

Paat-

The screen blinked once and the writing appeared.

[The curse of roses no longer holds you back]

[We promise you a daily life free from the curse of roses]

“What is that? Is it magic?”

The strange sight drew people closer and closer.

Paat-

And the screen changed again.

A fresh rose that fills the screen

And the door to Rose House opened.

But no one came out of it.

“What is it?”

People who were puzzled soon noticed something.

The scent of roses flowed through the open door!

Those cursed by the rose among them hurriedly blocked their noses.

“What if someone shows symptoms of the rose curse………!”

“What are they doing all of a sudden?”

The angry people soon realized.

“Oh, you look fine”

“It’s okay! Whenever I smell the scent of the rose, the curse’s symptoms usually appear!”

“If they say they were able to make a rose, were they also able to create the rose’s scent that doesn’t trigger the curse’s symptoms?”

***

A man full of curiosity and courage approached the Rose House.

As if waiting for the moment, a person came out from the inside.

“Welcome to Rose House. Today is the opening day of Rose House, and we have prepared a special gift for our guests.”

It was Roselina.

Roselina, who tied up her pink hair, looked especially like a rose today.

“This is a gift for the first customer. Hart, will you bring it to me?”

At Roselina’s words, a small boy from the inside came out.

There was a murmur in the crowd who recognized him.

“Isn’t he the youngest son that was found in Brighton recently?”

“I thought he was dead, but the Duchess of Palesdon said she found him.”

“It is said that he was kidnapped by a group of human traffickers. I didn’t know there would be human trafficking in the Empire.”

“It is no exaggeration to say that Brighton would have been ruined if the Duchess of Palesdon had not returned.”

After lowering their voices, they found something.

“Here you go.”

The boy handed something to the first customer.

“Perfume…?”

“Yes. It doesn’t contain any ingredients from roses, so you can relax. If you spray it in a Rose of Harmony, it would feel like a real rose.”

People who heard Roselina’s explanation pushed their heads here and there.

“What? Is that true?”

“There’s no rose in it, but it smells more like a rose than a real rose?”

Roselina stood in front of the bewildered people.

“I am famous in the empire as someone with severe symptoms of the curse of roses. I’m sure everyone knows about this.”

People nodded and affirmed.

“That’s true. The Duke of Brighton and the Duchess of Palesdon were famous for having severe symptoms of the rose curse.”

“Even if I don’t believe everything about Roselina, it’s true.”

Roselina smiled after seeing people’s reactions.

She picked up the perfume Leonhardt was holding and sprayed it on herself.

“……!”

For a moment, the atmosphere calmed down.

People forgot to talk and stared at Roselina.

If that perfume contained even a little rose component, what Roselina has done would be the same as committing suicide.

“If you have severe rose curse symptoms like me, taking medicine to suppress the symptoms does not have much of an effect. Even if you don’t die right away, you will still fall down and get seriously sick.”

But Roselina stood still and continued.

“But how am I now?”

Roselina put on another spray of the perfume lavishly.

Far from being sick, she appeared healthier and more vivid.

“With the help of the Master of the Magic Tower, we maximized how to treat the curse symptoms of roses. Please, take a look.”

She then sprayed perfume on the rose harmony brought by Leonhardt.

At that moment, something magical happened.

A pink energy emanated from the Rose of Harmony and scattered in the air.

“Ah………….”

“This is.”

People who felt the energy near the entrance admired it.

“This is real………….”

“I really feel like my curse of roses is being cured.”

They scrambled into the store and opened their wallets.

“I’ll buy it right away. I’d like to buy all the roses and perfumes.”

“I’ll buy it, too. Please wrap 10 roses.”

“I’ll buy it, too!”

Those who bought the Rose of Harmony and perfumes couldn’t resist and sprayed the perfume on the spot.

This time, the Rose of Harmony sprayed with perfume gave off a pink energy.

As many people sprayed perfume on the Rose of Harmony, more energy came out.

A person who absorbs the energy even a little changes their expression.

Despite the severe curse of roses, they came all the way here with a single determination to treat them.

There was a cure in front of them.

It was a chance they could never miss.

“I want to buy it, too. Please sell it!”

“I suffered all my life because of the curse of roses. This is a miracle!”

Soon there were explosive reactions from all over the place.

Less than an hour after the opening of Rose House, they immediately ran out of supplies.

Those who bought the Rose of Harmony came home smiling happily.

“Oh, my God. I didn’t know I’d owe this to Duchess Palesdon.”

“I will unconditionally support Lady Roselina’s move from now on.”

The reputation for Roselina has also risen.

Felix, who was watching the scene from afar, seemed to turn his eyes upside down.

“Do you live happily after making me look like this?”

He just couldn’t let it go.
