I Became the Wife of the Monstrous Crown Prince

Side Story 3 – Blake has become smaller (3)

TL: Zimming

“Did you know about last night, father?”

“It’s not much, just him being grumpy.”

Tenstheon tried to hide the truth with nicer words. It seems clear that Blake and Eunhan had an argument last night, but I didn’t know the exact reason.

“I don’t know about the details. But it’s not something to worry about.”

Tenstheon looked at Blake, reassuring me.

“But what happened? What’s with this blanket?”

“Ah, that’s…”

The original clothes he wore were too big for Blake now. Aside from the clothes that didn’t fit, it was dangerous because the pants and sleeves were too long and he could fall down.

I tried to take off his clothes for now.

“Nwo! I won’t twake it off!” (No! I won’t take it off!)

“You should! It’s dangerous!”

“It’s not!”

“It’s dangerous! What if you fall down!”

“Umm…”

Blake didn’t know what to say again.

I took off Blake’s clothes and wrapped his body in a large blanket.

Now there was no 4/5-year-old child in the palace, and of course it was difficult to get clothes right away.

However, if we leave him as it is in the cold winter, he will catch a cold, so I put a blanket on him for now.

I thought it was a reasonable decision, but Blake’s lips, which were wrapped in a blanket like kimbap, were sticking out.

It was very cute. He’d get even angrier if I said this to Blake.

“Haha, there’s a reason for this.”

I laughed awkwardly. Tenstheon did not ask any more.

Tenstheon hurriedly tried to contact Chang through the necklace given by Eunhan. And he told us the result.

“He will be back to normal in about a month.”

“A mwonth?!”

Blake shouted in astonishment.

“If you want to be back a little earlier, apologize. I had a direct conversation with Baekhan, and he’s very stubborn.”

“I won’t apwologize! I dwidn’t do anything wong!” (I won’t apologize! I didn’t do anything wrong!)

Blake puffed his cheeks as he vented his anger.

“……”

Tenstheon was silent.

He did not protest to Baekhan who made Blake like this. I also didn’t agree with Blake.

Judging from Tenstheon’s reaction, it seemed that Blake did something wrong first.

“Apologize.”

“Nwo.”

Blake spoke firmly. Then his chubby cheeks twitched.

Ah, so cute.

I pressed his cheeks and forget the seriousness of the situation.

At first, I was worried if something was wrong with his body, but since he said there was no problem at all and he would be back in a month, I could enjoy Blake’s cute appearance.

“Then will you keep staying like this?”

“I won’t apwologize. I dwidn’t do anything wong.” (I won’t apologize. I didn’t do anything wrong.)

Blake became really childish.

The spell even affected his judgement as he acted like a child.

Maybe that’s why he’s so stubborn.

However, it was only cute when he declared it solemnly with his face sticking out of the blanket.

“Will you be okay to be like this for a month?”

“I wyon’t apwologize!” (I won’t apologize!)

“I see. If you’re okay, so be it.”

Tenstheon did not force him to apologize and respected Blake’s wishes.

After that he said,

“Then, be ready to live like that for a month.”

“Y, you want me to stway like this?”

Blake opened his eyes wide in ashtonishment.

“You said you weren’t going to apologize.”

“I won’t!”

“Then we couldn’t do anything.”

Tenstheon lifted Blake who was sitting on the sofa.

If he asks, Eunhan will do anything. He will persuade Baekhan to bring Blake back to his original condition.

But Tenstheon didn’t seem to have any intention of doing so.

“I have to dress you up right now.”

“Get off!”

Blake struggled in the blanket. Tenstheon, however, has been keeping his eyes on Blake for a long time.

Tenstheon’s mouth twitched slightly. He must also think Blake was cute.

***

Blake’s bedroom was filled with children’s clothes. The amount was so huge that I thought they might have brought everything from many stores.

No, it’s more than a month’s worth! Besides, what are these summer clothes? Where did they get all these clothes?

I’m impressed, but Blake was really sullen.

“Blake, what do you want to wear?”

Then Blake shook his head with a gloomy face.

“No, iwt’s all fow babies.” (No, it’s all for babies.”

The clothes were all cute and shiny.

But…

“Blake is a baby now.”

“What…?”

He opened his eyes wide and looked at me.

No, is this supposed to be so shocking?

“You said you’d stay as a baby without apologizing.”

“I’m nwot a baby! It’s jwust getting smawwer!” (I’m not a baby! It’s just getting smaller!)

“Oh my, jwust getting smawwer?”

As I mimicked his speech, Blake’s eyes were filled with tears.

That’s what it meant to be ruled by the body. He was a crybaby again as he was when he was young.

“Dwon’t copy me.”

It was cute seeing him speaking with a body as small a bean. I held back my laughter and gave him a big hug.

“Okay, okay, I won’t copy you.”

I was going to soothe him, but I ended up speaking like a kindergarten teacher without realizing it. Blake was angry, sticking out his lips.

“Blake, are you upset?”

“No.”

I think he’s upset.

“What about your clothes? Do you want me to pick one for you?”

“…I’m gwoing to do it alone!”

Blake spat out strongly and picked up the socks right in front of him.

He chose simple white socks rather than fancy jewelry and frill-decorated clothes.

But…

“Ugh!”

Wearing socks was too much work for Blake now.

Blake ended up falling down without even putting his foot in a hole in his little sock.

“Are you okay?”

It’s a soft bed, but I checked his condition because he fell down. However, Blake did not raise his head.

“Blake, what’s wrong? Does it hurt?”

I asked with a smile. He might have been hurt because his body has become smaller.

“Tell me. Does it hurt a lot?”

When I asked again, Blake spoke in a small voice.

“Embwarrassing…”

‘Umph.’

I held my mouth shut and desperately held back my laughter.

Blake’s ears were red as ripe red beet. If I laugh here, he might really cry.

“It’s alright. It’s not embarrassing. It’s because the bed is so soft that it’s hard to balance.”

“Yes, twat’s right. I’ll dwo it on the floor.”

Blake got up and shouted with confidence. Unfortunately, the marble floor was too dangerous for the current Blake.

I lifted Blake back up and put him in the middle of the bed, while he tried to get off the bed with his short legs.

“Ahh, why?!”

He shouted in protest.

Is he really asking me because he really doesn’t know why?

But if I say, ‘It’s dangerous to wear socks on the marble floor’ he’ll complain.

Of course, I wanted to see him protesting because it would be cute, but since it was winter, dressing up was the first priority.

“I’ll dress you up.”

“N, no!”

Blake blushed again and shouted.

“Then should I ask someone else to do it?”

“……”

As if it is worse to borrow someone else’s hand, Blake shut his mouth tightly.

I picked up the white shirt that I liked the first time I saw it.

“Blake, you can button it yourself.”

“Yes!”

He smiled broadly and nodded. I also stroked his soft hair and smiled.

***

“Oh my!”

“Gasp!”

“Wow!”

When Blake was dressed and went outside, Melissa, Hans, Edon, and Terry, who were waiting outside, were all speechless, and each of them uttered a short exclamation.

I fully understand their reaction. When I first saw Blake who got smaller, I was speechless because he was so cute. Now, he looked like a doll, not a human being in his pretty clothes.

I told everyone that he got younger because I made a mistake while practicing magic. I explained that there was no problem and that it would be back in a month, so everyone looked at Blake, who had become smaller with twinkling eyes.

However, the expression of the person who was adored by everyone was sullen.

It must have been quite a shock to not be able to button his clothes. He tried hard, but his tiny finger was not enough to perform the delicate task of buttoning up.

He tried several times but kept failing, and in the end I helped him.

Blake kept fiddling with the buttons as if he still had lingering regret.

I gave a big hug to Blake.

“Uwaa!”

“Our Blake is so cute, isn’t he?”

“Yes, he’s so cute.”

“Really cute.”

Edon nodded furiously, and Terry couldn’t take his eyes off Blake. Hans smiled gently.

“How can he be so cute? It reminds me of the old days.”

Melissa’s eyes were moist. After she said that, everyone’s expression became sorrowful.

Blake was cursed at the young age of five. The young Blake, whom they remember, was always in pain.

I’m happy that Blake grew up wonderfully and healthy. Tenstheon must have felt the same way.

But, I can’t believe this small body handled such pain back then. He was so small and young.

I already knew it, but it was heartbreaking to see the young Blake in person.

“Pwut me down!”

I hugged the struggling Blake harder.

I’m going to experience only fun things with him for a month.
