Why Did I Become the Villainess?

Chapter 445: : Fian...



A moment after my parents send Prince Fraser off, Mother and Father return to my room. They both have worried expression on their faces.

"My dear, care to tell us what really happened between you and his highness, Prince Fraser?"

I look at Mother and sigh. It's that Crown Prince fault yet here I am the one who needs to explain things.

"It was nothing, Mother. We just had a little misunderstanding but there is nothing you should worry about."

Mother and Father glance at each other. It looks like I didn't manage to convince them with what I said. But what am I supposed to say them? That I faught with the Crown Prince?n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Mother sit beside me and hold my hand. "If it's nothing then why are you crying?"

I shake my head. "You misunderstand things, Mother. I was crying because I was worried about Lilla. I asked his highness an update about Lilla and my employees but he didn't tell me anything. So, I thought something must have happened to them. Mother, tell me. Did something really happened to Lilla? The last time I saw her, she was lying on her own blood."

Of course it was all lies. I only said that so my parents could stop worrying about me. Also, I am really worried about Lilla. I need to know what happened to her. I won't be able to forgive myself if something happened to her.

Mother sigh. "She was in a terrible condition but your Brother Pascal is doing his best to save her. And about your other employees," Mother stops talking for a couple of seconds. "My dear, I think it's better to talk about this if you're already okay. Look at yourself, you're still injured. You need to recuperate first. We will tell you the other details once you get better." Mother kiss my forehead and gently caress my head. "We will leave you for now so you can have your rest. If you need anything just ring the bell and your maid will attend to you." She then stand beside Father.

"Your Father and I still have other matters to attend to, so we might return home late at night. Remember, don't move around or else your injuries won't heal. I will also ask Pascal to check on you on his break time. So, don't be stubborn and do things that would hurt you, understand?"

I want to ask her some questions but because I notice the uneasiness on their composture, I decided to let them go. I am sure they have a lot of work to do because of that explosion.

And I also need to do something today. So, it's better if they leave right now.

"I understand, Mother."

An hour have passed and I still couldn't move my body because of my injuries. I've been trying to move out my bed but it looks like I won't be able to move out of my bed for days.

But if that is true. How can I see the culprit of this explosion? I need to do something with that guy. I wouldn't let this pass.

I was busy contemplating what to do when I heard someone knocks on my door. "Miss, I am here to deliver your lunch. May I enter your chamber?"

I frown. That voice sounds familiar. Where did I heard that voice again?

"Miss?"

I grab the bell beside me and ring it to signal the maid to come inside. A seconds after a very familiar maid walk inside my room.

"Miss should I prepare your lunch or should I put this on the side for now?"

I know her! Isn't she the maid who used to serve the young Csille? Oh, right I remember that she return to her family because her Mother was sick when I was still studying in Alderdeen.

"Aren't you..." I wasn't able to continue what I want to say because I forgot her name. It's been long since I saw her.

I am sorry, my dear maid. A lot of things happened that is why I forgot about you.

The maid put the tray of food on the side table and bow her head at me. "I am Eve, Miss. I was your personal maid when you were young. I returned home because my mother was sick and I only return today."

She really is Eve. The one who is always with Csille.

"Welcome back, Eve." I give her a small smile to show that I am happy she is back.

Eve's eyes waters when she heard what I said. She then kneels on the ground, "Miss, thank you fo-"

Eve's words was interrupted by a knocking sound on the glass window. I immediately ask Eve to check the window and see what it is.

There is no way someone would climb up my room that is on second floor. So, there is only one possibility where the sounds came from.

"Miss, its a messenger bird!"

I was right! It really is a messenger bird. But who is this from?

Because I couldn't move my upper body, I don't have a choice but let Eve take the scroll from the messenger bird.

I frown when I noticed that there are only five words written in the scroll.

Did you enjoy my surprise?

I don't need to use my brain cells to guess where did it came from. There is only one person who would do this.

I immediately ask Eve to take a matchsticks and burn the letter. It's better to burn this or else it might cause trouble in the future.

"Miss, why did you burn the scroll? Who send the letter?"

Who? She asked.

I clench my fist and curse the sender of that letter. He dares to ask me if I enjoy his surprise? If

I break his bones as a surprise, will he enjoy it?

I almost puke blood out of frustration. Does he really think I would accept things as it is? I

almost die because of his doing, there is no way I would let this slide.

You dig your own grave, Mister Sewell.

I look at Eve with a cold expression on my face.

"The bird probably send it to the wrong coordinates. So, don't bother about it."

The days have passed slowly. The two days I was confined in my room feels like a month for me already.

If I am only not scared of being paralysed my whole life, I would have been sneak out from this house. However, since I broken a ribs, I don't have a choice but to recuperate or else my Brother Pascal will probably break my legs permanently so I won't be able to sneak out.

"Miss, do you want me to brush your hair? I heard from the Butler that his highness will come visit you again today. I know you are the most beautiful lady among the Kingdom, but wouldn't it be rude for you to meet his highness like this?"

I couldn't help but scowl when I heard the Crown Prince name. Throughout those two days, his highness visit Csille and stay here for more than two hours. Just to update her what is happening in the Kingdom and in the Department.

If not for him, I wouldn't be informed with how the monarchy is dealing with the explosion

incident.

"Don't bother. He is here because of work and nothing else. So, you don't have to worry about

that."

Eve looks like she wants to refute but she probably see that I won't change my mind, so she

just remain quiet.

The two of us remain doing our own thing. She was cleaning the furniture in my room even if my room is more brighter than my future. While I busy myself reading some novels I ask Eve

to bring me.

A moment after, Eve stop what she is doing and look at me. "Miss, is it true that the Aeslaerean Kingdom is the perpetrator of the explosion? I was hoping that after the peace treaty, we will be able to continue the friendship that blosoom for a decade that past. Its such a shame that we will still end up in war."

And just like how I expected, that explosion is done by the Aeslaerean Kingdom. They throw a

canon ball to the Kingdom as a surprise attack and the new Department is dealing with the aftermath. Attorney Kirsa have reached out to the Council while Advisor Mallory is having a

talk with the enemy.

For now, you can say that the Vrawyth Kingdom is safe. But for how long? That is unknown

for everyone.

It's inevitable. The dispute between the two Kingdoms have run too deep in our history that

its difficult neglect it.

I heave a sigh. "All we can do know is to wish that everything will become better. The last thing we need now is war."

Although I am pretty sure the whole Vrawyth Kingdom won't be able to escape this war.

It was already written and bending the fate will only lead to this world's destruction. So, what we can only do is to accept what will happen in the future.

I don't remember what happened after that conversation I had with Eve. I probably got bored with the novel I was reading that I end up falling asleep instead.

I only wake up when I feel something hot touching my cheeks and I can hear faint murmurs.

"I'm sorry, Csille."

When I open my eyes I see Prince Fraser sitting on the chair beside my bed and reading a

book.

I frown. The murmur I heard just now sounds vivid, I am pretty sure that it happened. But looking at how Prince Fraser is sitting, I am doubting if its real or just part of my dream. Prince Fraser probably noticed my stare because he turn his head to me. "Oh, you're awake. Did I wake you up?"

I unconsciously shakes my head. I don't know if it's because I just woke up, but he looks way

more handsome today.

Too handsome that I can feel my breath being taken away just by staring at his handsome

face.

This is dangerous. I am slowly accepting my Villainess path yet why does he need to tempt me this much? Does he knows how big his effects to Csille?

Prince Fraser smile widely at me. He looks relieved. "I'm glad. I was careful not to wake you

up because I heard from Eve that you couldn't sleep that much last night. Is it because of your wounds? I know Doctor Pascal is a great Doctor but do you want me to call a Royal Physician to check on your condition? I am sure with the Royal Physician and Doctor Pascal's combined treatment, you will be able to sleep better at night. What do you think so?"

I just stare at Prince Fraser. What do I think so? Is he seriously asking me that question?

"Your highness, let me remind you that only the Royal family can summon the Royal Physician. How can a mere Count's daughter deserving of such treatment?"

Prince Fraser frowns. "What are you talking about? Aren't you my fianc...cé." Prince Fraser's words stop when he realized something. He then stares at me with his eyes full of emotions I couldn't name. Not because I don't want to name it, it's because his eyes is showing different emotions every seconds that I couldn't read what is on his mind.

Did he forgot that our engagement was cancelled already? But that's impossible. How can someone forgot something they have done? And its not even a small thing, it's concerned his marriage. There is no way he would forget that.

I scoff. "Your highness, what do you want from me? You clearly know that our engagement

was cancelled already. So, why would you ask the Royal Physician to come here just to check on me? Do you really want me to be in trouble?"

The Royal Physician exists for the Royalties only. The only time they are allowed to treat

others is if the Kingdom is in great danger, just like when an epidemic starts in the Kingdom.

People will definitely point their fingers on me once they knew the Royal Physician was

summoned to treat me.

Me, a mere Dame and the former fiancée of his highness. It will definitely bring trouble not

just for me but to the Lauretré Family.

"Csille, I never want to put you in a difficult situation..."

I laugh sarcastically. Does this Crown Prince forgot what he did to me?

"Leave..." Prince Fraser tries to explain himself but I immediately cuts him off. This is the last thing I

need right now. "Just leave, Fraser. You've done too much so please stop hurting me more." Prince Fraser looks at me with a hurt expression before he stands up and leave my room.

I look at his back and close my eyes. I couldn't afford to get swayed right now. We we're close to the end.
