Why Did I Become the Villainess?

It's the night! The night for the Banquet. The Banquet was specially made for the representatives of each Kingdom for the Grand Exemplary Competition. 

This Banquet is the most awaited event in the Competition. Aside from it's a sign that the Competition is officially starting, this is also the time for the Ladies and the Gentlemen to flaunt their looks. 

It's the reason why the real Csille is awaiting for this night. Csille turns around and stares at the mirror. She is wearing a burgundy colored Turque dress. It has a short sleeves worn over longer under sleeves. The color of the under sleeves is a lighter burgundy shade. It has a black collar at the neckline and a black sash at the waist. 

If I am not stuck in Csille's body, I would probably kowtow to her. Her beauty is really mesmerizing.. Even I, who is a girl, can't help but be mesmerized by her. 

Her dress compliments her hair and eye color. It even highlighted her features. Csille really knows how to make herself more beautiful. Although with her dress, she looks like a cold and aloof Princess, which doesn't suit her young age. But despite that, she handles it so well.

After a few minutes of admiring herself, Csille went down the first floor where the guys were waiting for her. All of them immediately stand up when they see Csille walking down the stairs. 

I see Rufus smile widely at me. "Ah, finally, she went down. You really prepare for this night, aren't you? You're living up to your title. The most beautiful lady among the Kingdom."

Csille giggles at Rufus' words. "Aren't you flattering me too much? I didn't have much time to prepare for the dress. It's a good thing I found a decent one yesterday, or else I would look like a mess tonight." Csille stands in front of them with a smile on her face. 

"You're not prepared? What will happen if you prepare for tonight's Banquet?" Leander shakes his head. "I'm sure all the ladies will be envious of you if that happens."

Rufus chuckled. He then taps Leander's shoulder. "Even if she didn't prepare. Do you think someone can compete with her? Csille Lauretré wouldn't be called the most beautiful lady among the Kingdom for nothing. Even if she dresses a rag, I'm sure no one can compare to her."

Csille chuckled and winked at Rufus. She is definitely enjoying all the compliments she is receiving. Talk about histrionic, Csille.

Leander is about to say something, but Prince Fraser cuts him off. "Are we going to the Banquet, or do you plan to compliment her the whole night? We already wasted too much time waiting for her. Do you want to get late for the Banquet? Because if you do, then excuse me. I'll be leaving then." He said in a cold and disinterested voice. It's as if the person Rufus' complementing is not his fiancée.

I can feel my hand starting to clench, and my heart feels like there's something pricking it. Csille looks at Prince Fraser's back with a pained expression. She probably couldn't believe that after all the effort she made to be beautiful, Prince Fraser would just ignore her.

Rufus laughs awkwardly. He then walks beside me to guide me. "Don't mind, my cousin. He probably just had a rough day. That's why he's grumpy. Come on, Purplany. I'm sure he finds you beautiful too."

Leander also walks towards us. "You know the temper of Prince Fraser, right? I'm sure he will compliment you later."

Csille sighed and let Leander and Rufus pull her outside the residence where a carriage was waiting for us. Princess Paislee immediately follows Prince Fraser when he goes out. 

Rufus helps me to get in the carriage. Both Prince Fraser and Princess Paislee are settled inside. They are sitting beside each other. 

Csille frowns. She immediately sits in between Prince Fraser and Princess Paislee. She then throws a glare at the confused Princess Paislee.

This Farren. How dare he takes my seat. Only I have the right to sit beside Prince Fraser and no one else.

I heard Csille's thoughts again. If I could only shake my head, I would have done it. The real Csille is becoming more and more childish each day. She glares at Princess Paislee just because Princess Paislee is sitting beside Prince Fraser? Has she forgotten that Princess Paislee is responsible for Prince Fraser's safety? She's really hopeless. When it comes to Prince Fraser, Csille becomes an idiot.

Prince Fraser frowns. "What are you doing? Why are you sitting beside me?" 

Even though Prince Fraser used a cold voice to Csille, she still remained smiling sweetly at him. "I am your fiancée. That also means that I am your partner for tonight. Of course, I will be beside you the whole night." She then winks at him.

Prince Fraser just sighs and stares outside the window. Csille doesn't mind, though. As long as he didn't push her. She doesn't mind.

With how gorgeously handsome my fiancé is, I'm sure several ladies will want to interact with him. I need to always stay beside him. So those ladies will wake up with their useless fantasies.

It is you who need to wake up, Csille. 

After a few minutes, the carriage stops in front of the Palace of the Saiven Kingdom. It is where the venue of the Banquet will be held. 

Each one of us, go down the carriage. There's a red carpet rolled already. There are also two guards and an announcer standing in front of the massive door. 

The announcer introduced each one of the representatives of the Vrawyth Kingdom. Only Prince Fraser and I are the ones left behind. 

Prince Fraser sighed and got off the carriage first to help me assist getting off the carriage. He then offers his arms to me, which Csille immediately accepts with a wide smile. 

The two of them walk through the red carpet and stand in front of the massive door. We will need to let the announcer say our names before we can enter the venue. It's a protocol in the Banquet.

"The Crown Prince of the Vrawyth Kingdom, Prince Fraser Astalieu. and his own fiancée, the daughter of the Count, Csille Lauretré." The announcer shouts loudly. 

The two guards immediately push the door wide open. Prince Fraser and I started to walk inside the venue. 

I heard people gasp and murmur while Csille and Prince Fraser walked past through them. In front of the venue are the Queen of the Kingdoms. They all smile at us. 

"Hey, that Csille Lauretré? She is really the most beautiful lady among the Kingdoms. I thought those humors were all exaggerated, but now I realize they didn't. She looks so perfect." I heard one of the ladies said.

Csille smile sweetly at them. Feeling the compliments and the attention she is getting. 

Yes, that's right. Only I can be the most beautiful lady in this world. So, be mesmerized by my beauty because that's the only thing you can do. No matter what you do, you cannot compare to my beauty.

If I could only grimace, I would have done it. This Csille thinks she is the best among the rest. I know there's nothing wrong with appreciating your own beauty, but Csille is going overboard. To belittle anyone just because she is beautiful than them? That's not right.

"Prince Fraser and Lady Csille looks great together. They are both gorgeous, comes from a well known family, intelligent and all. How can these two people exist?" 

I heard Prince Fraser whispers something. Csille immediately looks up at him. "Do you said something?"

But he just shakes his head and continues to walk towards the front. Everyone should pay respect to the Queens before they can sit. 

Prince Fraser takes his hand and puts it on his chest. He then bows a little. While Csille gracefully does a curtsy. 

"Greetings to the Queens." They both said at the same time. 

I heard someone chuckled. Prince Fraser and Csille stand up straight and stare at the Queen, who chuckled, it's the Queen of the Saiven Kingdom.

"Oh my, look at the two of you. The last time I saw you, you were both children. Look how gorgeous you two grow up. You look great together. It's like you were born just for each other." The Queen of the Saiven Kingdom stares at Prince Fraser. "Prince Fraser, it was nice seeing you again." She then looks at Csille. "Lady Csille Lauretré. The most beautiful lady among the Kingdoms. You really live up to your title. I'm glad to welcome the two of you to tonight's Banquet. You may settle in. We're still waiting for the others to arrive."

Csille smiled shyly at the Queens and did another curtsy. Prince Fraser bows his head too before we walk towards the table assigned for the Vrawyth representatives.

Csille smiles widely at everyone. She is in a good mood tonight because of the compliments she keeps hearing. 

One thing I have written about Csille is she loves attention. She loved it when everyone was mesmerized by her beauty. It's the reason why she gets irritated when Prince Fraser ignores her.

Although Prince Fraser was forced to be Csille's partner, he still didn't forget to pull the chair for Csille. Csille's face immediately heats up because of Prince Fraser's action.

I feel someone elbows me from my side. Prince Fraser is sitting on my right, while Rufus is sitting on my left. 

"Even the Queen of the Saiven Kingdom recognizes how great the two of you look together." Rufus chuckled.

Prince Fraser puts his goblet of wine on the table with a bang. The people who are sitting close to us immediately look at Prince Fraser. 

He looks irritated right now. But why? 

"Can you stop talking about how Csille and I look great together. It's irritating." He said before leaving his seat.

I can feel my hand clench. Csille is mad right now. She probably feel mad because of Prince Fraser. 

I know Prince Fraser is annoyed with Csille, but I don't think it's okay to say those words in front of Csille. That's just too harsh. 

"Are you okay, Csille? Don't take Prince Fraser's words to heart. He's just in a bad mood."

Csille forced a smile at Rufus. She then looks towards the front. The Banquet is now starting. The Queens are giving their encouraging words to the representatives. 

Csille sigh and wait for Prince Fraser to come. Although she is mad with him. She still couldn't help but search for him. However, even after the speech of the Queen was finished, Prince Fraser was still nowhere to be found. Even Princess Paislee is not here. She's probably with Prince Fraser. Guarding him.

The dance officially started. Everyone who likes to dance can already dance in the middle. 

"Aren't you going to dance, Purplany?" 

Csille groaned at Rufus. "How can I dance if my partner is nowhere to be found?" Csille stares at the dance floor and sigh. "I'll be looking for him. Stay here, Rufus."

Csille didn't even wait for Rufus' response and immediately got out of the venue. She looked everywhere but still couldn't find Prince Fraser everywhere.

"Where did he goes? Did he went home?" Csille shakes her head. "That's impossible. Prince Fraser won't leave us behind. He's not that type of person. But if he isn't here, where is he?"

Csille looked around and found a pathway leading to a garden? Her eyes lit up. Maybe that's where he is. She immediately walked towards the garden, but her footsteps halted when she heard Prince Fraser talking to someone.

"Your highness, please go back already. The Banquet officially started, and as the partner of Lady Csille, it's a tradition that you ask her for a dance." 

Csille frowns. That is the voice of Sir Farren. I knew it! That Farren is with Prince Fraser again. He's really getting on my nerves now.

Csille is about to get out of where she is hiding, but she immediately freezes when she hears Prince Fraser's response.
