Why Did I Become the Villainess?

Chapter 384 : What happened?

The guards of the Palace immediately bow their heads when they see me. "Dame Csille!"

I smile at them. "Good day. I heard his majesty had invited my parents today. Is it okay for me to get inside too?"

The two guards immediately nod their heads. "Of course, you can get inside, Dame. In fact, we were ordered that if we see you arrive at the Palace, we should send you to them immediately." One of the guards said to me. Then he looks at the other guard. "Why don't you show the way to Dame Csille?"

I smile at the guard as a token of gratitude before I follow the other guard inside the palace. We walk through the hallway and stop in front of his majesty's tea room.

I frown. Usually, his majesty will talk to us in the Garden or to the receiving area of the Palace. It's rare for him to speak with us in the tea room. Except if what we are going to talk about is something confidential. But what is this confidential thing they want to talk about?

The guard knocks on the huge doors of the tea room before he announces my presence. "Your majesty, please excuse me for the interruption. But Dame Csille is already here to see you. Should I send her in?"

A moment after, the doors were open from the inside, and I immediately saw the royal family and my family with... Ruler Laird and Principal Germund?

What are they doing here? Mother immediately rushed towards me when she saw me. "My dear, what are you doing here?" She sounds like she didn't like me being here.

I look at Mother. Still confused about what is happening. I thought his majesty wanted to talk about something important. Why do these two important people are here? "Mother, what is happening? Why does his majesty invite you here?" I whispered to her.

Mother gently caressed my back, but she didn't say anything to me. Instead, she just looks in the direction where the royal family and Ruler Laird is sitting.

I look at them too and frown. I don't understand why Mother doesn't want to answer my question. Reêad latest novels at wuxiahere.com

I was about to say something when His Majesty suddenly stood up and smiled widely at me. I feel Mother's hand on my back trembles a little when she sees His Majesty stands up.

"Dame Csille, it's a good thing you are here. We have been waiting for you to arrive. I heard from the Count that you didn't return home last night. May I know where did you go?"

I almost raised my eyebrow when I heard that question. He is really asking me that question? After what happened last night? I was about to answer his majesty, but Brother Pascal, who is sitting beside Father, suddenly interrupted me. "Your majesty, please forgive me for interrupting, but do you really need to ask that question after what happened last night?"

My eyes widened when I heard what Brother Pascal said. I didn't expect I would hear that from him. Not that Brother Pascal doesn't care about me, but the person he is talking to is His Majesty. The King of the Vrawyth Kingdom and disrespecting the King could make someone die. I anxiously look at Mother. Although I know His Majesty will not do that to Brother Pascal, I still could not help but be afraid for him. Brother Pascal is the only person I can entrust the Lauretré Family, and I can not let anything happen to him.

However, he was immediately cut short by Godfather. "King Simmond, I know you love your only son. However, you cannot always defend him from everyone." Godfather paused and stared seriously at Prince Fraser. "So, tell me, Prince Fraser. What did you do that made Dame Csille runaway last night?"

I feel Brother Pascal lean on my ears again. "I like Ruler Laird. You are really lucky to have him as your Godfather. Now, let's see how Prince Fraser will save himself."

I look at Brother Pascal for a few seconds before I look back at Ruler Laird who is busy staring intently at Prince Fraser. He is not glaring at him, but I can still feel the anger in his eyes.

He is mad at Prince Fraser? For what? Because of what he did to me last night? But based on his questions, it seems like he still has no idea what happened last night. So, why would he be mad? Also, isn't Prince Fraser also his Godson? So why would he be mad at him?

I heard Prince Fraser heaves a deep sigh. "Godfather, Csille and I just had a misunderstanding last night. It's the reason why she runs away." Prince Fraser then looks back at me. "Right, Csille?"

I almost scoffed when I heard what Prince Fraser said. He didn't do that... He didn't use my name just so he could have an excuse. This Prince Fraser couldn't stop disappointing me every time I met him. It's as if he is slowly showing his true color at Csille.

This is how the real Prince Fraser is? I even thought Prince Fraser was a good man before, but I guess I was all wrong. There is no way a person like this is a good man. He is heartless and a total jerk. He just insulted Csille last night and still expected her to save his face in front of Ruler Laird? Does he think Csille is a martyr? Just because I was trying to convince my parents to keep supporting him, it doesn't mean that I would turn a blind eye to what he was doing to me. "Csille, is what Prince Fraser said true? Did you runaway last night because you had a misunderstanding with him?"

I look at Ruler Laird before I look at Prince Fraser. Hoping I could see pleading in his eyes, but there was nothing. He was just staring at me with his usual cold eyes. As if what he isn't asking me for a favor just now.

Does he really think what happened last night is all a misunderstanding? I was about to say something, but I got startled when Brother Pascal abruptly stood up. "Forgive me for saying this, your highness, but I think you should be responsible for what you did to my cousin. We still support you despite you have disrespected my cousin at the Banquet. But to pass the blame to my cousin for what happened last night is something I couldn't take. There is a limit to someone's kindness, so please don't drain it all."

My eyes widened when I realized what is Brother Pascal trying to do. I immediately tug his hand and shake my head. He can not do that. That will be a total disrespect to the royal family.

I don't want to save Prince Fraser's face, but I also don't want to ruin the good relationship of the Vrawyth Kingdom with Illorian City and Alderdeen City.

Brother Pascal stares at me for a couple of seconds before he looks at Ruler Laird. "Great Ruler, what happened last night is not how Prince Fraser describes it. There is clearly no misunderstanding that happened. Rather, it was Prince Fraser who insulted my cousin."

I look anxiously at Ruler Laird before I tug Brother Pascal's hand. Hoping he would stop saying things to Ruler Laird. But Brother Pascal didn't even bother looking at me.

"Insulted Dame Csille?" Godfather raised his eyebrow. "Can you tell me the details of what happened last night?"

Brother Pascal heaves a sigh and states at King Simmond. "Apologies, your majesty. I don't want to disrespect the royal family. However, I couldn't let things go after what happened last night. So, I hope you can understand what I will do. I am only doing this for my cousin."

I shake my head and tug his hand. Brother, please don't tell them anything. The Vrawyth Kingdom needs the support they can have as much as we can. The war is about to come. We need the support of the Illorian City and Alderdeen City. "Csille, why are you stopping your Brother? Let him talk. Or are you defending Prince Fraser?"
