Why Did I Become the Villainess?

I was still in deep sleep when I heard someone knocks on my door. I cover my head with the pillow. But no matter how much pressure I put on the pillow, I still could hear the knocking. I throw the other pillow into the door. 

Curse you! Who would knock at my door? They know I just arrived! Can they let me rest? Even a villainess needs to rest, okay? I'm also a human. 

However, The knocking sound still continues. The one behind the door seems like he really wants to see me. I just hope it's not Prince Fraser. 

But God probably hates me because I suddenly heard Prince Fraser's voice outside. Great! Can I pretend that I die? I don't really want to see him.

"Csille? Are you sleeping?" I heard him ask behind the door.

I roll my eyes. Yes, yes I am sleeping, so go away! I cover myself with the blanket. Afraid that he would see me awake, although I know he is still outside.

I sigh in relief when the knocking stops, and I heard nothing outside. I put the blanket aside and squint my eyes at the door.

Did he left already? 

After a deliberate argument with myself, I decided to walk close to the door. I look at the peephole to see if he really left, and he's not there. I sigh in relief when I see no one. 

He's finally gone. I thought I need to face him today. That goodness, he's gone. 

I was about to go back to my bed to sleep, but I immediately froze when I heard Prince Fraser's voice outside. 

"Csille, I know you're awake. I could feel your inside and I heard from people that you stay up in your room. Open this up. I need to talk to you."

I roll my eyes at his words. Oh, come on! I thought you're gone. Why are you still in there? Can you just disturb your female lead? Why are you bothering me? Go look for your female lead. 

I remain on my spot and try to be quiet as much as I can. I don't really want to talk to him. Please, not now.

Prince Fraser knocks becomes louder. It sounds like he is irritated now. "Csille! Open this door." I heard him say calmly, although I could hear faint irritation in his voice.

I run to my bed and cover myself with a blanket. I'm asleep! I'm asleep! You cannot talk to me. Go away! Go away!

However, Prince Fraser seems like he has a different plan. He is now slamming the door. I take a peek through my blanket and look at the door who is shaking because of Prince Fraser. It looks like anytime now. The door will be destroyed. 

I remain lying on the bed. Trying to find an excuse in case Prince Fraser successfully barged inside the room. However, no matter how much I think of a way, I couldn't find a perfect excuse. 

Will I die today? Prince Fraser looks really irritated. 

"CSILLE! OPEN THE DOOR! IF YOU STILL DON'T OPEN THE DOOR, I WILL DESTROY THIS!"

I am panicking now because of what Prince Fraser said. I'm pretty sure he would do what he said. If I didn't open the door, he would really destroy it. But the barging in, I am hoping for, didn't happen because someone stops Prince Fraser. 

"Your highness, Prince Fraser, please calm yourself down. We're in the Illorian City. If you destroy that door, I'm afraid the other people staying in this inn will be disturb. Also, this action could be against the rules of the Illorian City. If you continue this and disrespect the rules, how can we explain it to the Great Ruler?" I heard Princess Paislee said to Prince Fraser.

Thank goodness you came, Princess Paislee. Because I don't know how to handle your man. Jeez, why does he have such a temper? I know he's quite a snob sometimes, but I didn't know he has anger management problems. 

Prince Fraser got silent for a moment before he sighs. "I just want to talk to her. Is there something wrong with that?" 

"Prince Fraser, there's nothing wrong with that. However, please consider those people who are also staying in the inn. If you continue shouting and slamming Lady Lauretré's door, I'm afraid they will be mad at us. Also, Prince Rufus said that Lady Lauretré said she would rest first because she is tired. Can you let Lady Lauretré rest first? You could talk to her after she takes some rest." Princess Paislee calmly said to Prince Fraser. 

"It's his fault! I told Rufus to call me immediately if Csille came back, but he didn't obey me."

"Prince Fraser, please understand. Lady Lauretré is only thinking about the safety of the Vrawyth Kingdom. She didn't find the daughter of the Great Ruler. Do you think the Great Ruler will be happy to know that the first thing she did when she came back is to talk to you? We still don't know what happened to the conversation she just had with the Great Ruler. Don't you think she deserves to rest first? You could talk to her after she gets some rest." 

I heard someone sigh. "Okay. Let me know if she wakes up from her rest." I heard Prince Fraser say, then I heard footsteps, but after a few seconds, it stops. "Remember to inform me immediately." He added before I heard footsteps fading away.

Whoah! That was close. I thought I have no choice but to face him. Thank goodness Princess Paislee came. She is finally following the script! That's right, Princess. You should distance your Crown Prince from me.

After a few seconds, I heard another footstep. It's Princess Paislee. She probably left too. I set aside the blanket that is covering me and walk to the door. I peek at the peephole to make sure that there is no one outside my door. I nervously open my door to also ensure no one is around the vicinity. I sigh in relief when I find no one.

If I stay here and Prince Fraser finds out that I am awake now. He will sure come to my room to talk to me. So, it's better to run when the cat is out. I immediately look for clothes that would help me look like a man. Although dressing Csille as a man will be a tricky job because she has very feminine features. 

After ten minutes, I am now staring at the mirror, and in front of me is a young man who looks like those Princes in classic Disney fairytales. 

I am wearing white oversize long sleeves, and I'm wearing a binder inside so my chest wouldn't be noticeable. I partner the long sleeves with a pair of brown trousers. The hair is the most challenging part since I have purple hair. Good thing, wigs are a thing in here. It's also a good thing that the original Csille brought a few wigs. I just don't know why she had it. Maybe for sneaking out too? Since I also found the men's clothing, I am wearing inside her luggage.

My only problem now is my eyes. Csille has purple eyes, and there are no contact lenses in this world. I couldn't wear sunglasses because obviously there's no sun. But if I don't wear anything, then I would be easily caught since I am the only one who has purple eyes in this world because that's how I write it. Jeez, this is the only time I regret making Csille's eye purple. Now, I don't know how I could get out of this inn without getting noticed. 

I look around my room, trying to find something that would solve my dilemma. My eyes immediately shine when I saw a black hat in Csille's clothes, and it looks like it's a man's hat. I put up a playful smile. "Csille, is really planning to sneak out. But why is she afraid of being noticed?"

But of course, no matter how many times I ask myself, that question wouldn't be answered. Because the real Csille is sleeping somewhere in this body, and I don't plan to wake her up. Not now. 

I look at the mirror and smile. "I really look like a man now. Look at that features. Although my looks are more on the soft and gentle type of man but it's not that bad. Actually, I look great." I look at the mirror for a couple of minutes. Admiring how handsome Csille could be if she is a man. 

I look at the clock on the wall. It's five in the afternoon now. I need to get out already, or else a moment later, Prince Fraser will definitely come back knocking at my door. And that's not what I want. 

I immediately leave my room and walk out of the inn like how a young man should. I just use the hat to cover my eyes. However, it's not that helpful since it's not like a woman's hat that has a wide brim. 

I smile widely when I successfully get out of the inn without anyone noticing. Finally! Freedom. 

I was happily strolling the busy streets of Illorian City when I suddenly froze on the spot. My smile instantly faded, and my body started to sweat. 

What is Prince Fraser doing in here? I look at his back and saw Princess Paislee walking behind him. Oh, are they having a date? That's exciting! 

However, my excitement fades away instantly, and I feel pain deep inside me. I clutch my hand at my chest. It hurts. Why? Why am I hurting right now? What does it have to do with me? They could have a thousand dates, and I wouldn't care. If they want, I could wed them right now, right here. However, I don't understand why I feel like this. I should be happy, right? I wouldn't have any problems anymore. I don't need to avoid Prince Fraser. But why? Why am I feeling this? 

I take a deep breath. Trying to shake the pain that is now slowly creeping through my throat. I don't like this. Make this stop! This is not my emotions. I repeatedly shake my head. This is Csille's. Right! It's hers, not mine. There's no way I could be jealous because of that. Only Csille will be jealous seeing two guys close, and I'm not Csille! I would never be Csille. That means I would never like Prince Fraser. 

Huh, who would like a guy like him who always shouts when he is angry? But he's responsible and takes care of his people. He's also smart and handsome. Everyone would like him. I shake my head again. Why does my thoughts are messed up? I don't like him, and I will never like him. Period!

"Mister?" 

I look at the vendor, who is holding a pack of sugar candies. He looks concerned. Great! I just embarrassed myself in front of a person. I really need to cut off Prince Fraser from my life. 

I immediately paid the vendor and let Prince Fraser and Princess Paislee pass where I am standing before I take my leave. I walk in the opposite direction they are walking. As much as I want to take a peek at their date but I cannot risk getting caught by Prince Fraser.

"I'll have other time for that. For now, it's better to hide myself from him first." I look at the sugar candy I am holding and smile. "A candy at night, makes Prince Fraser out of sight," I giggle when it rhymes. 

I was happily walking through the crowded street eating sugar candies, when suddenly I saw Prince Fraser with Princess Paislee walking in my direction. I immediately panicked and went inside a building without even looking at the signboard. 

I was frozen on the spot when I saw what's inside. However, before I could even react, I feel someone cover my eyes and said, "Don't shout. It's me. I'm going to take you away from here, okay?"
