Why Did I Become the Villainess?

Chapter 440: : Question



I glare at the closed door of Prince Fraser's room. I couldn't believe he brought me here just to ask that question.

He is unbelievable! He brought me inside his chamber just to ask me what I am doing? He might not be able to confirm my assumption, I already know I am right because he will definitely stop me if I am wrong.

I shake my head. What do I expect from Prince Fraser?

I was about to return to where I came from but my steps halted when I see the person at the end of the hallway.

Holy cheese! What is she doing here? Out of all the people who could see me here, she's the one who witnessed it?

"Sir Farren, how long have you been standing there?" I ask with a shaky voice.

I couldn't help but feel anxious with the thought that she have seen me walking out of Prince Fraser's room. Because I know this will ruin the blossoming feelings they had for each other.

What if she turn down Prince Fraser because of it? Because she thought Prince Fraser and I will get engaged again.

I feel a shiver in my spine. That can not happen. I will not allow it to happen.

Princess Paislee glances at the door behind me. "Long enough to see you walk out of his highness room." She then give me a wide smile.

She looks happy and satisfied with what happened. Quite opposite of what I expect from her.

When will these two leads start to act like themselves? She is supposed to be disappointed yet here she is smiling widely at me as if she just heard a very good news.

I heave a sigh and look at the close door before I shake my head. "Don't misunderstand things, Sir Farren. I only came to Prince Fraser's chamber because I have something important to talk to him and that doesn't mean that I am getting back at him. So, I hope you can keep this to yourself. I don't want to be involved with any issue with Prince Fraser anymore."

Princess Paislee frowns. "Buts Dame Csille, wouldn't it be good if the two of you get back together? I am sure everyone would like-"

I shake my head. Get back together? Wouldn't I endanger everyone if I do that? Also, how can I get back to someone who doesn't want me anymore?

"But what about what we like? Does it not matter anymore? You do know that Prince Fraser has someone he likes already, right? Isn't that an insult to his feelings?" I shake my head. "So, I hope this will be the last time I would hear this from you. Also, don't tell his highness about this or else he will be enraged with you. Please learn how to respect people's decision and feelings, Sir Farren."

Princess Paislee looks like she wants to say something but hesitant to say it. She then shakes his head.

I glance at her for the last time before I left Prince Fraser's chamber.

Things are getting complicated and I don't even know how to react on it. I just wish everything ends according to the script.

I shake my head. No, I need to make sure that everything will follow the script. I couldn't just wish here and let things progress on its own. If I need to intervene, I would do so.

If that is the only way I could save everyone from danger here.

I hand his majesty the documents I have regarding the reports of the latest orders of the other Kingdoms and Cities. "Your majesty, apologies for coming here without prior notice. I just want to address some issue I think we will be having problem in the future."

His majesty takes the documents and look at me with a gentle smile on his face. "You must be exhausted from all the traveling. I apologies for making you experience this, Dame Csille."

I shake my head. "It is my honor to serve the Vrawyth Kingdom, your majesty. So, yoy don't have to feel sorry for me. If I will given a chance I would accept this work again."

Lie. If I only have a choice, I wouldn't want to invole myself with such a responsibility. But since I couldn't tell him that, I just end up telling the opposite of what I feel because I don't want him to feel sorry for what I am experiencing.

His majesty heave a sigh. "Such a shame that the Vrawyth Kingdom wouldn't have a chance to have a Queen like you," he shakes his head disappointedly while I just smile sadly at him. What am I supposed to say to that? I didn't even expect he would bring that topis up. His majesty shakes his head and stares at me. "Whendid you return to the Capital, Dame Csille? Why didn't you inform me first?"

I heave a silent sigh when his majesty decided to drop off the topic about my failed engagement with Prince Fraser. Because I honestly don't know how to respond with that. He probably noticed my uneasiness so he decided to drop it off.

"I just arrived early this morning, your majesty. I wasn't able to inform you because it slipped my mind and I apologize for that. Things were quite hectic in the department that I forgot to inform you about it."

His majesty nods his head and look at the documents I passed here. "And you probably rush here early this morning to talk about the deal I have made with the other Kingdoms." He clasp his hand and stares at me. "Tell me what you want to say, Dame Csille."

I takes a deep breath and look at the documents in his hand. "Your majesty, I know I already told you that Mister Earnan have enough people to forge weapons for us. However, I don't think they can produce such a number in short period of time. Even if he hires another set of people, it will still take time for Mister Earnan to teach them all the things they need to forge a weapon. I came here because I was worried this deal will only bring trouble for the Kingdom. If you continue accepting orders from them, it will be impossible for us to keep up. Also, if we insist on producing all those orders in a short time, I can not guarantee you that we can forge weapons with high quality."

I was expecting his majesty to look troubled but he just stares at me calmly for a couple of seconds before he nods his head. "I understand, I will release a statement that we will temporarily stop selling weapons to everyone to accomodate on producing all the orders we have currently. As for you problem about producing all the orders in one go, you don't have to worry about that Dame Csille. I already talk to Mister Earnan about it yesterday and we decided to focus on one order at a time. To ensure that every weapon will be high grade. I already inform the buyers and they all agree to wait. So, there is nothing you should really

worry about."

So, he is telling me that I risk joining the royal breakfast just for nothing?

I am relieved that everything is okay for the Vrawyth Kingdom. I just hope he could have spared me from all these worrying. Does he know how worried I am? I thought it will be the end for all of us. Not just for the whole Vrawyth Kingdom but also to this world.

"I apologize, I was planning to send you a letter today, informing you about the current situation with the weaponry. However, I didn't expect I would see you early this morning."

His majesty probably noticed my reaction when he told me the plan he made with Mister Earnan. I quite felt betrayed because I am assigned to the weaponry yet here I am clueless with what is happening. Not that I am mad about it, I know his majesty never intends to left

me out.

I shake my head and smile reassuringly at him. "I understand your majesty."

Then we continue talking about the details with their plan. I need to know every little details so I know what will I do next. Aside from their plan, I made sure to pass him all the list of names thay could possibly help me with my work in the department. And all the remaining

order slips before.

His majesty looks at the documents I just give to him and nods his head. "I will take care of this for you. As for you employees you are asking for, I will immediately ask someone to fetch them from the western region and bring them to the department. So, you can work with ease." I bow my head at him as a gratitude. I am sure Sela will be happy to know that her friends

will come over to the department.

"Thank you, your majesty. It will be a great help for us."

His majesty smile and shakes his head. But instead of hearing something related to the department, I was startled to hear him ask questions about something else.

"Dame Csille, can you help me confirm something?"

I frown but nod my head. "May I know what you want to confirm, your majesty?"

"I heard a news from someone that Prince Fraser and Prince Rufus had a brawl in the Department. Can you help me confirm if this is true?"

I just stare at his majesty. Conflicted with what will I say to him. Should I be honest with him but wouldn't I be putting the two Princes in trouble? His majesty dislikes violence the most especially when it comes to his family. So, I am sure he will punish the two Princes because of

it.

However, I know I couldn't lie to his majesty too because it is a great crime to lie to a royalty. One can even be put in death sentence because of lying.

I heave a sigh. "Your majesty, I apologize but I wasn't aware about this. Maybe, I was out

when it-"

I thought playing safe will be my better option however I was wrong. I underestimated the

King.

"I even heard that you rode a horse just to stop their argument. Are you telling that the person who told me about that news lied?"

I immediately stand up and kowtow to him. How can I dare to continue lying? I know his majesty already knows the truth and he just want to ask me something else.

"I apologize, your majesty. I was the one lying. I just don't want you to get mad to the two Princes. I don't intend to lie to you, your majesty. I just.." I stop talking and shake my head.

I don't know what to say anymore that would spare from my death. I just hope his majesty wouldn't put me in death penalty just because I lied to him.

I remain kotowing for a few seconds before I heard his majesty speak. "Stand up, Dame Csille. I know you are only trying too protect those two. You also did this when you were young, don't you remember?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

I look up and stares at him. He is right. I had once takes up the blame for the mistakes of the two Princes when we were young and just like today, his majesty knows I was lying. "You should stand up, Dame Csille. I don't want you to hurt your knees." He then extend his

hand to help me sit back on the chair. "I ask that question because I want to know what's the reason they had a fight. I know those two often have arguments recently but it never came to a point where they would choose to throw a punch on each other faces. So, I want to know what is the reason why they did that and I know you are aware of the reason, Dame Csille." I know the reason but how am I supposed to tell him? That the two Princes are arguing over

a guy? Wouldn't that make him faint because of that? Imagine the two mighty Princes of the Vrawyth Kingdom is arguing because of a man? Who would even believe that?

But if I can not tell him the truth, what am I supposed to tell him?

"Dame Csille, I am waiting."
