Why Did I Become the Villainess?

 "I definitely know how grave the punishment is if I abduct the Crown Prince of another Kingdom. However, do you know how grave the punishment is if the Vrawyth Kingdom knows your treacherous plan?"

 Prince Reeve immediately becomes pale, and with a trembling voice, he asks Prince Fraser, "What do you mean, Prince Fraser? What treacherous? Are you accusing us of betrayal?"

 I raised my eyebrow at Prince Reeve. This guy definitely won't sell his allies. It's a good thing we already had the pill from the Illorian City. We won't need to threaten him or use aggression against him. All he needs to do is to lie, and the parasitic insect in his body will do the work.

 I heard Rufus laughs. "Oh, so you're denying it? Do you think we will be so dumb not to notice that you're allying with the Wrezatia Kingdom?"

 Prince Reeve's eyes widen. He starts to wriggle his way to stand up, but Rufus and Leander are restricting his movements. He then starts to look around until his gaze falls on me. "Lady Csille, please help me. Help me. I don't understand what he is saying. We're not doing anything. We're not traitors. How can we betray the Vrawyth Kingdom?"

 I frown if the Crown Prince is saying the truth. Why isn't he wriggling in pain now? My eyes immediately widen. I immediately walk towards Prince Reeve. 

 "Csille, what are you doing? You should just stand there. Let us handle this Crown Prince. Does he think he can make us a fool?"

 I look at Prince Reeve, who is looking at me with hopeful eyes. "Lady Csille, believe me. I am not a traitor. How can I betray the Vrawyth Kingdom? We've been under the protection of the Vrawyth Kingdom. How can we betray the hand that feeds us?" 

 I frown. There's something wrong here. "Tell me you love me."

 Everyone gasps in the room. Even Prince Reeve looks at me with horror. He then looks at Prince Fraser, who is glaring at him like a tiger staring at his prey.

 "Csille, are you insane? What are you doing?" Rufus snaps at me, but I didn't care. 

 There's something wrong in here. We have overlooked something, and I will make sure to know what it is. 

 He then shakes his head. "Lady Csille. What are you saying? I don't love you."

 I shake my head. "I said, tell me you love me!" I shout at him.

 Prince Reeve shakes his head. "I won't say it. Why do I need to say it? What does it have to do with your accusation? I am not a traitor and will never be a traitor? Do you know what will happen if the King and the Queen of the Saiven Kingdom know what you are doing? Abducting the Crown Prince of the Kingdom you are staying? I know you are the strongest Kingdom, but it doesn't give you any right to do this to me!" He shouts at us.

 I look at him, and my eyes immediately widen. No! No! I put my hand on his shoulders. "Tell me a lie. Tell me you're the traitor, or else I don't know what I can do to your sister."

 Prince Reeve glares at me. "Don't you dare touch my sister, or else I will definitely forget the relationship between the Vrawyth Kingdom and the Saiven Kingdom. If you ever touch my sister, I swear to my ancestors that I will definitely do anything to avenge my sister!" He roars at us.

 Prince Fraser walks in front of me. "And if you ever touch my fiancée. I swear I will tear down this Saiven Kingdom of yours."

 I hold Prince Fraser's hands and shake my head at him. "Let me handle this."

 Prince Fraser looks at me intently before he sighs. He then takes a step back. I look at Prince Reeve, who is glaring at me. "If you want to keep your sister's life. All you need to do is say you're a traitor. All—"

 "But I am not a traitor! Why does all of you doesn't understand that I am not a traitor! I will never betray the Vrawyth Kingdom! Why do you keep insisting that I am a traitor? Even if you hurt me, I won't admit to something I didn't do."

 Rufus scoff. "Go on, continue lying. Do you think we will be so dumb to believe all your lies? We already unravel your secrets and schemes. We won't be dumb to fall for that again."

 I look at Prince Reeve, and he looks like normal. It doesn't look like he is hurting or something. But why? He should be in pain right now. But why does he looks like he is okay? 

 I stop Rufus and stare at Prince Reeve. "Tell me a lie, Prince Reeve. Tell me your gay. Tell me you're in love with a person you don't love. Just tell me anything that is a lie!"

 Prince Reeve stares at me and sighs. "I don't hate Prince Joachim." 

 After he said those words, Prince Reeve writher in pain. I gasp. This. The pill does work, and Prince Reeve is telling the truth right from the start.

 "He isn't lying. The Saiven Kingdom is not betraying the Vrawyth Kingdom. But if he isn't lying, what's their purpose in interacting with the Crown Prince of the Wrezatia Kingdom? This doesn't make sense." 

 I look at Prince Fraser. He is right. There's something wrong in here. I look at Prince Reeve, who is lying on the ground. "Prince Reeve, tell us why are you with Prince Wischard. Why are you always with him?"

 Prince Reeve groans in pain. "We are with him because Prince Wischard wants to know other Royalties from the other Kingdoms. We are not the only one who goes out with him. Even the allies of the Aeslaerean Kingdom are having a conversation with him. Is that the reason why you thought we are betraying you?" Prince Reeve asks. He is still on the ground, but he doesn't look like he is in pain now. It only means one thing he isn't lying!

 I look at the others, and everyone has a grave expression. We were fooled!

 "Do you think we were so dumb to show to everyone that we are close with the Crown Prince of the Wrezatia Kingdom if we are really betraying you?" Prince Reeve sits up and looks at us. "And do you think the other Kingdoms will sit around if they see Prince Wischard being close with the other Kingdoms? Especially their rival Kingdoms?"

 We all got silent. What Prince Reeve said is right. Why didn't we think about this? We thought it's part of their plan. To make other people see that they are close with the Wrezatia Kingdom. But we didn't anticipate that it's just a friendly conversation.

 I look at Prince Fraser, who is currently silent right now. He sighs and stares at Prince Reeve. "Are you sure there's nothing going on between the three Kingdoms?"

 Prince Reeve groans. "How many times will I have to tell you? There's nothing going on between the three Kingdoms. We are all just casually talking. Where do you even get the idea that we're plotting against you?"

 I stare at Prince Reeve. He looks like he doesn't feel anything wrong. Then it means he is telling the truth? If he is saying the truth, then we definitely did something wrong with our ally. 

 I walk towards Prince Fraser and tugs his shirt. "What are we going to do now? If Prince Reeve is insisting that they didn't betray us, then how can we explain things to him? He will definitely get mad at us."

 Rufus stares at me. He probably heard what I have said to Prince Fraser. "What else, just give him the antidote."

 "What do you mean antidote?" Prince Reeve asks with a trembling voice. 

 Leander sigh and squats down. "You heard it right, antidote, and you must know what antidote means, right? And what does an antidote do right?"

 Prince Reeve's eyes widen. He then glares at us. "You poison me?" He grits his teeth. "Prince Fraser, how dare you do this to me? I am the Crown Prince of the Saiven Kingdom. The Saiven Kingdom had a good relationship with the Vrawyth Kingdom for a long time. How dare you do this to me? If Mother and Father know about this, they will definitely break our alliance with the Vrawyth Kingdom."

 My eyes widen. If the Saiven Kingdom breaks their alliance with us, then war will be inevitable. The Vrawyth Kingdom cannot win this war. We will definitely lose if this war continues.

 Prince Fraser sigh and squat down too. "There's a parasitic insect inside your body right now, and if you don't tell us the truth, it will eat your organs one by one. Only the antidote can kill it. So, I'm going to ask you, Prince Reeve Launselot. Did you have an alliance with the Yesian Kingdom and the Wrezatia Kingdom to go against us?"

 Prince Reeve laughs maniacally. "Is that the reason why you sent us a letter for this visit? It's because you want to know if I am really a traitor?" He laughs again. "I couldn't believe I have trusted you." He then stares at me. "Lady Csille, I thought you're an innocent lady, but I was wrong. You are a cruel one. You bring us to our death, Lady Csille. I hope you can sleep at night thinking you are the reason why I will die tonight."

 I take a step back and trembles. That's not true. I only did that because I thought he was a traitor. I didn't want to harm them. We never plan to harm them. What he is saying is not true. 

 "Csille, look at me. What he is saying is not true. You do know that we never intended to kill anyone, right? So, it's not your fault. No one is going to die tonight. I assure you that." I heard Prince Fraser said to me.

 I look at him. I know what he is saying is right. But I still feel guilty. If what Prince Reeve is saying is true, then I am definitely the reason why he is here. 

 Prince Fraser holds my face. "Csille, look at me. It's not your fault, okay? You only did what you think is right. You only did what you think will be good for the Vrawyth Kingdom. You didn't do anything wrong, okay."

 I calm down after hearing Prince Fraser's words. He is right. I didn't know he is not a traitor, and I only did this for the safety of the Vrawyth Kingdom. 

 I look at Prince Reeve, who is glaring at us. "Prince Reeve, we will ask you for the last time. Are you planning to betray the Vrawyth Kingdom?" 

 Prince Reeve scoff. "How many times I will tell you? I am not a traitor. Even if you kill me now, I won't admit to something I didn't do. I am the Crown Prince of the Saiven Kingdom, and I am not a traitor. I will never be a traitor!" He shouts at us.

 I look at Leander, who is still squatting down beside Prince Reeve. Leander stands up and shakes his head. "He is definitely telling the truth. I check his pulse, and I didn't find any anomaly. Maybe we are the wrong here. Maybe the Saiven Royal siblings are telling the truth."

 I gasp. If that's the case, we are definitely the wrong in here. How can we explain things to Prince Reeve? If the King and the Queen of the Saiven Kingdom know about this, I am sure they will definitely break our alliance with them. If that happens...

 Prince Fraser sigh and give the antidote to Leander. "Give him the antidote. Give him the sleeping pill first so you can easily take him back to his room. We will talk about this tomorrow morning," Prince Fraser said before he walks out of the dungeon. Princess Paislee immediately follows Prince Fraser.

 I look at Leander and Rufus. What happened tonight is definitely now what we expect to happen. Everything we did all these days is useless. The alliance between the three Kingdoms is all hoax, and now Prince Reeve is threatening us to break the alliance. 

 Rufus groans. "Great, so everything we did is futile." He then looks at Leander. "Leander gives him the antidote, so we get this through."

 It's really a good thing the antidote can make the victim forget what happens, or else the Vrawyth Kingdom will definitely be doom now.
