Why Did I Become the Villainess?

Chapter 427: : Refusal



After a few hours of talking to her majesty about the department, she ask General Abarral and Colonel to show her the training ground. It is where the secret army will train. Doctor Leander follow them behind with Prince Rufus since the two of them will also help train the soldiers.

The rest of us return to our own office to do our own thing. I was about to look for Sela to ask her to take care of the things in the office because I am plan to return in the capital but Prince Fraser suddenly calls my name.

"Dame Csille, may I have a word with you?"

I frown. What does this Prince wants from me again? Why does he often looks for me these days? Shouldn't he focus more on his beloved rather than bothering the villainess?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

I heaves a sigh. "Your highness, apologies but I don't have time today. I still have work to do and I need to return to the capital to check on the Founda-"

"I am returning in the capital too. Why don't you return with me?"

Is he dumb? Why would I do that? Did he forget that we are not already engaged and if people see us together that will not be a good thing.

"Your highness, let me remind you that I am an unmarried woman. If anyone see me with you, it will be an issue. Aren't you worried that the person you like will see this and misunderstand things?"

Please, don't involve me with such a mess, your highness. I already have too much on my plate. Why do you need to add on my problems?

Prince Fraser frowns. "I only want to talk to you about the weaponry making. I know you are busy and wouldn't have time, it is the same for me. Wouldn't it save us time if we talk about this on our way to the capital?"

It is a good plan but wouldn't that had a negative effect on us? What if someone see us together? Wouldn't that be an issue? What if Princess Paislee saw us and misunderstand things? Wouldn't I mess things up?

I was still contemplating what to when Prince Fraser speak again. "I only want to hear updates about the weapons. The Vrawyth Kingdom will already release the news that we are selling weapons tomorrow. I just want to make sure that everything is okay on your part. Also wouldn't it better if we let Mister Earnan live in the department?"

I shake my head. "That is impossible. Mister Earnan already told me that he doesn't want to return to the capital. He will only work for us if he stay where he is staying. Also, you don't have to worry about the weapons, I have received a letter from him the other day and he told me that everything is prepared already. That they are only waiting for us to open our shop. So, I don't think there is something we need to talk about, your highness."

There is no way I will allow it. Things is about to get better for the two leads. How will I let myself ruined it?

Prince Fraser frowns. "Dame Csille, are you avoiding me?"

Isn't that obvious your highness? You only realize it just now? How dense can you be?

I shake my head. "Your highness, I just don't want other people to misunderstand things. Things are already complicated in my life right now and I don't want to make it more complicated. That's why I don't want let anyone see us together. I hope you can also understand me, your highness."

Prince Fraser, can you please let me go? What do you want to hear from me? I will immediately tell it to you just so you wouldn't force me to return to the capital with you.

"What's wrong if people see us together? We will be working in the new department already. Is there anything wrong seeing two colleagues talking to each other?"

I frustratedly stares at him. I don't understand why can't he understand what I am trying to say. Is it difficult for him to understand that I am only doing this for him.

I heave a sigh. "Your highness, let me remind you that no one should know that we are working together. Do you want other people to know about the new department?"

Prince Fraser got silent. He just stares at me for a couple of seconds.

That is right. Let it sink in to you that I am only doing what is good for thw both of us. So, please leave me alone.

some rest?"

Rest? How can I rest knowing that the days are getting shorter. Sooner the peacefulness in the Vrawyth Kingdom will disappear and I need to make sure that everything is on the right places when it happens. So, how can I rest?

I just smile gratefully at the coachman. "Thank you for the concern but I still have other things to do today." I open the door and give him another smile. "Thank you for sending me

back."

This coachman is the person assigned to be my coachman. He will be the one who will bring me to the department and send me back at the capital.

The coachman bows his head at me as a response. Before he steer the horse towards a certain direction. Now that I will be staying in the capital. His work will stop here. He can continue his work once I decided to return to the department.

I look at the Foundation and frown when I noticed the long line of people in front of the

Foundation.

What is happening? Why are there are a lot of people lining up in front of the Foundation?

I was still contemplating what to do when someone rush to hug me. We almost fall on the ground because I lost balance when that someone crash into me.

I look down and find Lilla looking at me worriedly. I can even see the hint of anxiety in her

eyes.

"Dame Csille, it is a good thing you are here. We heard from the Count that you have an urgent case to help from the nearby region. Is everything okay there?"

Count? Father said I was in the nearby region helping people? But why would he help me? Isn't he disappointed with my decision the last time? Why would he help me this thime?

Is it because of the King? Did he ask for Father's help?

"Dame Csille? Did you hear what I said?"

I was too deep in my thoughts that I forgot that Lilla is still with me. I look at her and smile

reassuringly. "Apologies, maybe I got tired from the trip. About your questions, there is nothing to worry about. Everything is okay alredy. I have taken care of everything." I look at the line of people in front of the Foundation. "How about the Foundation? Is everything okay in the here? Why is there a long line today?"

It's normal for us to have a number of lining up for help. But this is the first time, after the

contagious disease disappeared, that we have such a number of people lining up in the

Foundation.

Did something happened while I was gone?

Lilla look at the people who are lining up before she looks at me with worried eyes.

"Dame Csille, we have a problem."
