Why Did I Become the Villainess?

The three of us, Rufus, Leander, and I find a good restaurant to eat at. We decided to book a private room so we can talk about what just happened.

After the waitress leaves the room, Rufus immediately bombards me with many questions. 

"Csille? What are you talking about? Recorder? What recorder are you talking about? When did I have a recorder, and what is a recorder?"

I drink the tea first before answering him. "You don't, Rufus."

Rufus frowns. "What do you mean I don't?"

Leander shakes his head. "You don't have the recorder. It means that the recorder Csille is talking about is non-existent. You're the son of the Duke. How come you don't know that we didn't have any invention that is called recorder?"

Rufus scratches his nape. "My father doesn't like to meddle with the monarch. Have you forgotten Leander?" 

Leander just shrugged his shoulders and ate his food in peace. Rufus then looks at me. "So, you only said that we have a recorder to scare the Ouqeaseon representatives?" 

I smile at Rufus and winks at him. "It works, right? I didn't know they would be that scared that they would kowtow at us."

Rufus smirks at me. "You're brilliant, Csille. It's a good thing I read what you want me to do, or else those Ouqeaseon representatives will definitely not let us go."

Leander put down his spoon and knife and look at us. He then sighs and shakes his head. "You know that what you did put the Vrawyth Kingdom at risk, right? What will Prince Fraser say if he knows about what happened?"

I smile bitterly at him. "Don't worry, if he knows about this, I'm pretty sure he'll be mad at me and not the two of you. Because that's what he is good with." I cut the steak on my plate. "Finding faults on everything I do," I whispered.

Leander and Rufus become quiet and continue eating their meal in peace. They probably realize that my mood has become gloomy again. 

It's not that I hate Prince Fraser, but I only said that because it applies to the current situation. Prince Fraser is always mad at the real Csille for almost everything she does. And also, I said it because I pity Csille. If Prince Fraser would only try to understand Csille more. She wouldn't be the Villainess of the story. If he just says what he doesn't like straight to Csille's face instead of pushing her away, she would probably not end up as the bad guy. 

I sigh and put the spoon and the knife down, and I look at Rufus and Leander, who are busy eating their meal.

"You want to say anything more? Blame me? Question me? That's okay. Say it."

I'm sure these two have many questions they want to say, but because of my dampened mood, they probably decided to just forget it.

Leander sigh. "Why did you do that to the Ouqeaseon representatives? You could have ignored them?"

I chuckled. "Ignore them? And what? If we ignore them, they will continue to bully us because we just let them off."

Leander shakes his head. "You're just making things worst. Because you embarrass them today, I'm sure they would get back at us or worst at you in the future."

Rufus nods his head. "Yeah, Csille. You know that the Ouqeaseon Kingdom is against Vrawyth. I'm sure they wouldn't forget this and let us off."

I look at them and frown. "What? Are you two scared of them?"

Leander puts his spoon and knife. He then looks straight at my eyes. "We're not scared of them or what they can do at us. I'm more worried about how this will affect our relationship with the Ouqeaseon Kingdom. You do know that we already have a rough relationship with them, and with what happened, I'm sure they would use this as an excuse to go against the Vrawyth Kingdom."

I sigh. "I don't understand what's the two of you are worried about. In the first place, the Ouqeaseon representatives are the one who is wrong here. They are accusing us of something we didn't do. They even dragged the Vrawyth Kingdom with us. What do you want me to do, huh? To just watch them taint our Kingdom's reputation and then step on us? Why do we need to ignore them? If we let them do that, I'm sure they will definitely repeat it again. If that happens, I'm afraid the reputation of the Vrawyth Kingdom will be forever tainted."

"You don't understand, Csille. I know why did you do that, but you could have handled the situation better. Do you need to embarrass them?" Leander said in a displeased voice.

I don't understand them. I just save the Kingdom's reputation, and now I become the bad guy? What did I do wrong? 

"They are the ones who embarrass us at first. I am just returning the favor. What do you want me to do, huh?"

"You could have just let them off. Why do you need to threaten them? You're just making them our enemy."

I sigh in disbelief. I couldn't believe what they are saying right now. They are the ones who threaten us, but why did it become my fault? 

"Okay, okay," I scoff. "I'm the one at fault here. What do you want me to do, huh? To knock on the door of the Ouqeaseon Kingdom just to say sorry? Or do you want me to kowtow to them too? And oh, just so you know, the Ouqeaseon Kingdom had been the enemy of the Vrawyth Kingdom right from the start. So, you saying I made them as our enemy is quite absurd."

Leander sigh. "Csille, that's not what I mean. You-"

I raised my hand at him. Asking him to stop talking. "I heard enough, Leander. You two are blaming me for what happened, and I'm sorry if I didn't do what you want me to do. I'm sorry, okay?" I slam the table and get out of the room.

Leander and Rufus tried to call me, but I just ignore them. Curse them all! All I did is to save the Vrawyth Kingdom from embarrassment, but now I become the bad guy? 

Okay, okay. I understand that I am the villainess of the story, but they could at least understand what I did first before blaming me. 

Even if we let them off, the Ouqeaseon Kingdom will definitely target the Vrawyth Kingdom, and that's inevitable. They will definitely find faults in everything we do, so I don't understand why would they want to be bullied if we could definitely fight back? 

The Vrawyth Kingdom is the strongest Kingdom among all. So, why would they let the other Kingdoms bullied us? Because they are afraid to make the Kingdoms our enemy? To hell with that, I'm sure all of them are just waiting at the sideline for the decline of the Vrawyth Kingdom. So, instead of letting them bully us, why not let them see the real strength of the Vrawyth Kingdom? 

I shake my head and continue walking on the streets of the Saiven Kingdom. Leander and Rufus didn't follow me, which is a good thing since I'm still not in the mood to talk to them. With what happened in the restaurant? I don't think I could talk to them for today. 

I am about to turn to a corner when my steps halted. It's Prince Fraser and Princess Paislee walking on the streets of the Saiven Kingdom.

I smile bitterly. Finally, the love story between Prince Fraser and Princess Paislee is already starting. It's also the start of Csille's villainous plans. 

I look around and found a stall that sells scarfs. I immediately put it on my head to cover my overly attention grabber hair. I heard them walk past through me, and I smile bitterly.

"Sir Farren, are you okay? Your face is reddish. Do you want to rest first?" I heard Prince Fraser ask worriedly at Princess Paislee.

He could be this gentle to Princess Paislee, but he always yells and is angry at the real Csille. I now understand why Csille becomes too envious of Princess Paislee. How can Prince Fraser be nice to anyone but Csille?

"I'm okay, your highness. It's probably because of the sun. Don't worry about me. I am fine." Princess Paislee replied.

"What fine? Look at yourself. Your face is all red, and you tell me that's fine? Come on, let's rest first. Here, you sit here." 

My eyes immediately widen when Prince Fraser makes Princess Paislee sits on the bench that is beside the stall where I am standing.

Holy sheez. Why do you need to sit there? There's a lot of benches everywhere. Why here? 

Not that I don't want to see them but give me a break. I just had a fight with Leander and Rufus, and now here's Prince Fraser again? I'm sure he'll yell at me again because the Prince Fraser right now is the Prince Fraser I have written. This scene is what I have written for them. So, I'm sure he'll be mad at me again. 

"Miss, are you going to buy that? If not please, put it back. You have been wearing it for quite some time now. How can I sell it if you wear it for a long time?" The vendor of the scarf that I am wearing said at me.

I smile awkwardly at him and instantly give him the money. Can this guy not endanger me? What if Prince Fraser looked my way and realized I am Csille? 

I am about to turn my back to them when I feel someone stand beside me. "Excuse me, Sir, but do you sell water in here? My comrade doesn't feel okay and needs water. Do you have any water to sell?" Prince Fraser asks the vendor.

Holy moly! What is he doing here? I tried to busy myself pretending to look at the things that are on sale. 

Don't look this way. No, I'm not here. I'm not here. You cannot see me.

I almost want to cry about what happened to me today. First, Prince Fraser and Csille fought again. Second, the Ouqeaseon representatives tried to bully us. Third, Rufus and Leander blame me for what happened with the Ouqeaseon representatives. And now I saw Prince Fraser and Princess Paislee in the street of Saiven Kingdom?

Like, come on, give me a break. I just want to enjoy my stay in the Saiven Kingdom. Why can't all of you let me enjoy it? 

I glance at my other side, but that's where Princess Paislee is sitting if I turn in that direction, I'm pretty sure she would see me, and with Princess Paislee's quick eyes, I'm sure she would realize it's me. Of course, if she noticed me, I'm sure she will sell me out to Prince Fraser, and Prince Fraser will be mad at me again. He'll probably think that I'm following them. 

That's why they cannot see me. It's also against what I have written. Prince Fraser and Princess Paislee should enjoy this day without intervention from Csille. They shouldn't see Csille walking around the Saiven Kingdom. 

"Water? We have water in here, but you don't need to pay for it. It's an emergency. Just wait here, young master, and I'll ask my assistant to get you water."

The vendor asks his assistant for the water then. I sigh. Can you make it faster? Prince Fraser cannot notice me that I'm here. 

Prince Fraser said his thanks and waits for his water to come.

"Miss, are you interested in that?" I almost jump out of nervousness when the vendor walks in front of me. "That's a love charm. You can give it to someone, and I'm sure they will think of you day and night." The vendor explains to me while holding an exact copy of the bracelet I am holding.

Can you not scare me like that? I thought it's Prince Fraser who calls me. I sigh in relief and look at the bracelet I am holding. Love charm? There's something like this in this world? Isn't this cool? But does it really works? 

Give it to someone, and they will definitely think of me day and night? I glance at Prince Fraser. Will it work for him? 

"Miss? Are you going to buy that?"

I fix the scarf that is covering my face. Making sure Prince Fraser or Princess Paislee won't recognize me. 

I nod my head at the vendor and give him the money he needed. Go, just go. Please don't talk to me. I cannot answer you, or else Prince Fraser would notice it's me.

Finally, after a few minutes, the assistant came with a glass of water in his hand. Prince Fraser immediately takes the glass and lets Princess Paislee drinks it. 

And while they are all busy, I immediately walk away from the place. Thank goodness he didn't see me.
