Why Did I Become the Villainess?

Chapter 357 : Emergency

"Dame Csille, are you sure you want to wear this? Isn't this too simple for Prince Christofre's visit?"

I look at Lilla using the reflection in the mirror and smile reassuringly at her. I am currently dressing up because the dress I was wearing got dirty from all the cleaning. Lilla offered to help me with my dress, that's why she is here.

"Lilla, even if we're welcoming Prince Christofre, the Foundation still needs to work. That means there are people who will come to the Foundation to ask for our help, and I don't want to make them feel that I am distant from them. I am welcoming Prince Christofre as the Founder of the Foundation instead of being the Dame. So, why would I wear flashy clothing?" I look at my reflection in the mirror and nod in satisfaction. "Also, I don't think my dress looks that bad. It is simple, yes, but it still looks elegant."

Lilla looks at my reflection and heaves a sigh. "Dame Csille, I'm just concerned that Prince Christofre might misunderstand things here. What if he thought you weren't that prepared in welcoming him?"

I stop fixing my hair. I already thought about that, and I admit I was worried that Prince Christofre wouldn't understand why I was doing this. However, the day doesn't end with him only. We cannot wait for him the whole day and close our door to those people begging for help. That's why I decided to wear this because I couldn't bear to see those people walking inside the Foundation feeling so small when talking to me. I want them to feel that I am their equal. "I'll just explain things to him. Is everything prepared?" Cheêck out latest novels at wuxiahere.com

Lilla looks at me hesitantly for a couple of seconds before she heaves a sigh. "Yes, Dame Csille. I have checked everything before going here, and they are all okay. All we have to do is wait for Prince Christofre's arrival."

I nod my head. "How about the other royalties? Did they leave the Foundation already?"

I'm sure they will. I haven't done any heavy lifting, but I still managed to dirty my dress. I'm sure their clothing is way worst than mine.

"Dame Csille, his highness Prince Fraser and Prince Rufus are currently staying in one of our guests rooms. They just ask their guards to bring a set of clothing for them. As for Prince Joachim, he left the premise earlier, but he said he will return here to also welcome Prince Christofre."

I raised my eyebrow when I heard what Lilla said. Prince Fraser and Rufus are understandable, but I don't understand why Prince Joachim would want to welcome Prince Christofre too. As far as I know, he isn't close with him nor interacted with him in the past. "Dame Csille?"

I look at Lilla and smile at her. "I see. Did you open the Foundation already? Are they people alre—"

I wasn't able to finish what I wanted to say when Cairistine burst into my room. She then looks around with panic in her eyes. "Dame Csille! Dame Csille!"

Lilla immediately rushes to Cairistine to calm her down. "Cairistine, calm down. What happened? Why are you panicking?"

Cairistine takes a few deep breaths before she answers Lilla. "Lady Lilla, someone came into the Foundation. He was bleeding all over, and when Mother asked him what had happened to him, he told Mother that he had been stabbed. Mother is doing her best to take care of him. However, we need a Doctor immediately, or else he will die. The lobby is all dyed in blood. Even the carpet wasn't missed. What are we going to do, Dame Csille?"

I feel like my strength was drained after hearing Cairistine's words. I'm definitely sure everything is a mess in the lobby now, but I couldn't drive the man away since it's an emergency, and I will never do it even if it's not an emergency. I'm just worried about Prince Christofre. What would he say if he saw that scene?

"Is everything prepared in the operating room?" Brother Pascal suddenly asked while I was busy praying.

I nod my head again. "Yes, Brother. Before I left, I made sure to ask my employees to clean everything. Although there are no nurses among my employees, I have already trained them on how to keep the whole emergency room sterile. So, you don't have to worry about anything."

Brother Pascal is the one who suggested to build an operating room in the Foundation. He was also the one who suggested to hire Doctors for the Foundation. But because there has been a lack of Doctors in the past few months, I didn't pursue the plan. The moment the horse stops in front of the Foundation, Brother Pascal immediately gets off the horse without even helping me. He just rushes inside to check the patient.

I heave a sigh and get off the horse too. Snowy already knows how to return to her own stable, so I wasn't worried about her.

What welcomes me crushes my heart. There is blood everywhere. The lobby of the Foundation looks like a crime scene now. Lilla, who was calming the people, immediately saw me. "Dame Csille! I was so worried about you. How did you manage to bring Doctor Pascal here in just a matter of twelve minutes?"

I look at Lilla for a couple of seconds before I rush to Brother Pascal's side, who is now busy checking the condition of the patient.

"Brother, how is he?"

Brother Pascal shakes his head. "He needs immediate surgery already. I need to see if the stab penetrated any organs." He then looks at me. "I need to bring him to the operating room now!"

I immediately asked Lilla to bring out a stretcher where we could put the patient. A moment after, Lilla arrives with a stretcher, and the four men, from the people that line up for help, volunteer to help carry the man. I look at their figures and sigh before I look around my surroundings. How am I supposed to clean this up before Prince Christofre arrives?

Brother Pascal stops and looks back at me. "Csille, the man lost a lot of blood. I need someone who can donate blood for him."

I nod my head. "You can test my blood and if we match. I am willing to give him my blood."

After I said those words, the people around me started to volunteer too. Brother Pascal looks around and nods his head. "I will just call you when I need it already." He then left after saying those words.

"Dame Csille, are you sure you want to donate your blood? You know how the nobles don't want to share their blood with commoners like us. Are you sure—"

I look at Lilla and nod my head. "Lilla, can you do me a favor again? Can you please take care of this mess? I still need to check how is the operation going."

Lilla nods her head. "Don't worry about that, Dame Csille. I will take care of it for you."

I smile gratefully at Lilla before I follow Brother Pascal. I just hope the man can survive this. I don't want to see anyone die in front of me even if I don't know that person personally.
