Why Did I Become the Villainess?

 I shiver because of the coldness of the night. We are outside the residence and waiting for the arrival of the carriage of the Illorian City. Great Ruler is now on his way to our residence. 

 I feel something warm touch my shoulders. I look back and saw Prince Fraser's coat is now on my shoulders. I am about to take it off to give it back to him, but he leans towards my ears. 

 "You're cold. Don't take it off. I'm worried you'll get sick because of the cold air. I'm sure Ruler Laird wouldn't like that too."

 I nod my head at him. It's because of Ruler Laird. I thought he is worried about me. I smile bitterly. How can he be concerned about me? Remember Ysa, Prince Fraser denies you as his fiancée. He doesn't have any responsibility to you. 

 Prince Fraser and I are the ones who is in front of the group. We will be acting as the host of this visit again. 

 This Visit isn't just a simple visiting the representatives of each Kingdom. The reason why Ruler Laird is here is because he will help us explain what had happened during our stay in the Illorian City and the issue about the Strzalka to the Queen of the Vrawyth Kingdom. With him here, it will be easy for us to explain things to her highness, Queen Amalone. 

 After a few minutes of waiting, the carriage of the Illorian City stops in front of us. A coachman immediately gets down the carriage to open the door for Ruler Laird.

 Ruler Laird immediately smiles when he sees us. He raised both his hand and gestured us, Prince Fraser and I, to come to him. 

 Prince Fraser and I look at each other first before he guides me to walk in front of Ruler Laird. Ruler Laird smiles widely at the two of us. 

 "My Godchildren, it's been a long time since I have seen the two of you. I hope you have been doing well these days." Ruler Laird looks at me. "Csille, come here." 

 I took a step forward, and Ruler Laird immediately hugged me. He then drags Prince Fraser and embraces the two of us. "I'm glad I have seen the two of you again. We definitely have a lot to talk about tonight."

 I hug Ruler Laird back. I kind of miss him. It's a good thing he is here now. Everything will be okay then.

 "I'm glad you're here now, Godfather. Come on, inside. We already prepared a small banquet for you." I beamed at him.

 Ruler Laird let us go and smiled widely at us. Prince Fraser bows his head a little to Ruler Laird. "Godfather, it's better if we talk inside. The weather here is too cold. We don't want you to catch a cold. Come inside. It's warmer there."

 We all sigh in relief when we get inside. The temperature outside is freezing, but the temperature inside the house is warmer. 

 Prince Fraser gestured his hand at the receiving area. "Godfather, you should sit first. The food is getting heated now. So it will help us warm our stomach."

 I help him take out his coat and put it on the rack. While Prince Fraser guided him to sit down. I feel someone elbows me. I look back and find Rufus looking at me. "I thought you and Prince Fraser are still not okay? But by the looks of what is happening now, the two of you act like a married couple inviting their in-laws inside their house."

 My eyes immediately widened, and I elbowed him hard. I heard his faint grumbles while I sat beside Prince Fraser. The two of us are the host, and being the host, we should entertain our guests.

 What in-laws is this guy talking about? In-laws his face! I'm not even his future wife. Rufus and his mouth. It's better if I just ignore him. All he says is nonsense.

 Prince Fraser is sitting beside Ruler Laird, and I am sitting beside him. While Rufus, Leander, and Princess Paislee are sitting on the sofa in front of us.

 Ruler Laird looks at me. "I'm glad you went home okay after going to the Illorian residence. If not because of those people surrounding the residence, I would be the one dropping you off here."

 I smile awkwardly at Ruler Laird. Why does he need to mention about that? Only Rufus knows that I went out to go to the Illorian City. 

 Prince Fraser immediately looks at me. "You went to the Illorian residence? Why didn't I know about it?"

 Uh, because we're not okay back then? How can I tell you about it when we're both busy avoiding each other. Also, if I told you that, I'm sure you won't let me. 

 I just avoided Prince Fraser's eyes and pretended I didn't hear anything. I looked at Rufus and gestured for him to talk. Come on, back me up here. Do something! Your cousin is about to kill me with his glare.

 But Rufus just avoided my gaze and talked to Leander. It's as if he didn't see me looking at him.

 "You don't know? Csille went to our residence on her own for the Illorian pill." Ruler Laird then looks at me. "You didn't tell them?"

 I feel Prince Fraser lean towards me. "Yeah, you didn't tell me?" I can hear anger in his voice.

 I almost want to cry about what is happening. How can I tell him if we're avoiding each other that time? Why does all of them are putting me in the spotlight? I didn't do something wrong here. I even help them. 

 I sigh. "Because I know you won't agree with it. So, I had no choice but to keep it as a secret. Even if you don't look like you're anxious, I know all of us are worried about the three Kingdoms alliance at that time. I know we are all worried about the safety of the Vrawyth Kingdom. So, I did what I should do. I'm sorry if I keep it a secret. I know you will all reprimand me if you know what I did. I just want to help."

 I heard Prince Fraser sigh. "You do know there's still the threat of the Strzalka, right? What if something happened to you on your way to the Illorian residence?" 

 I shake my head at him. "But there's nothing happened to me. See? I'm still alive and kicking? So, I don't understand why do we need to make a fuss about it? It already happened. I promise not to do things without informing you again."

 Prince Fraser shakes his head. He then looks at Princess Paislee, who is sitting in front. "Sir Farren, starting to this day. You will be guarding Lady Csille—"

 My eyes immediately widened, and I held his arms. "You cannot do that, Fraser! Sir Farren is your own personal Knight. What will happen to you if your personal Knight is not beside you? How can I explain to his highness, the King, if something happened to you? No, you cannot compromise your own safety just for me."

 I looked at Princess Paislee and gestured her to speak. Come on. Your first priority is Prince Fraser, right? Why are you sitting there and not complaining? 

 Prince Fraser shakes his head. "I have decided. Sir Farren will be your personal guard starting from now. Everywhere you go, he will follow you. You cannot leave this residence without him."

 I almost want to cry with what he said. I avoided you because I want to give you and Princess Paislee time for each other. But why do you keep messing up my plan? 

 Princess Paislee cannot be my guard. How can you fall in love with each other if she will be always be with me? No! I cannot let them happened.

 I look at Princess Paislee waiting for her to refused Prince Fraser's words, but she just nods her head. She just nods her head! 

 Princess, why are you nodding your head like that? You cannot do that! 

 I stand up and glare at Prince Fraser. "You cannot do that to me! I have my own rights and freedom! You cannot take that to me. I know you are the Crown Prince of the Vrawyth Kingdom, but who do you think you are to take my freedom? I refused!" I shout at him.

 No matter what happens, I cannot let what he wants to happen. This is beyond what I have written, and I cannot let it happened. No!

 Prince Fraser stands up gracefully. He leans towards me. "I am your fiancée, and I think it's my responsibility to do everything I can for my fiancée's safety." He then looks at Princess Paislee. "Do you hear me? You will be guarding Lady Csille starting from now. Do you have any concerns?"

 Princess Paislee stands up. "Yes, I will follow your instructions, your highness."

 I look at Princess Paislee. Disbelief is written on my face. How can she say yes like that? Her duty is to guard Prince Fraser's life. It's not her duty to protect's Prince Fraser's fiancée. I couldn't believe she agreed like that. Isn't her first priority is Prince Fraser's safety? 

 I look at Rufus and gestured him to speak up. Come on, your friend in here is in need of help. Why are you sitting there as if you didn't see anything? But Rufus avoids his gaze again from me. Again. I sigh. This guy. 

 I glare at Prince Fraser. There's no way I would say yes to that. Screw him! He doesn't have any right to take away my freedom. 

 I am about to refute Prince Fraser, but Leander cuts me off. "Prince Fraser, I understand your concern. However, please remember that you are still the only heir to the throne. If something happened to you, do you think the King will let us off? Please, be considerate of Lady Csille's too. If something bad happened, the first one who will be blamed is Lady Csille."

 I stare at Leander and smile at him. Thank goodness Leander speak or else I would have argue with Prince Fraser again. 

 I look at Prince Fraser with a raised eyebrow. As if challenging him. What can you say now, huh? Little Crown Prince. 

 I sighed and pretended to sound disappointed. "Thank you, Leander, but that's okay. Let him be. I'll just take the blame if something happens."

 I sit on the sofa again, head down. You think you can do as you please? Just because you are a Crown Prince, it doesn't mean I will let you do what you want. Especially if it's concern about the safety of this world.

 I heard Prince Fraser sigh, and he sat beside me. "Okay, let's just forget about that. Sir Farren, forget what I have said." 

 Yes! I look at Leander and wink at him. Rufus looks at me, and I just glare at him. This traitor! Do you think I will forget how you didn't help me?

 I heard Ruler Laird laugh. "The two of you are really concerned about each other, aren't you?"

 I almost make a face because of Ruler Laird's words. I mean, yes, I am concern about him. But I am more concerned about the progress of the novel. 

 Godfather, please don't add fuel to the fire already. 

 I looked at Prince Fraser and found him looking at me too. He sigh. "Of course, Godfather. Nothing is more important to me but Csille."

 I could feel my face getting flustered because of his words. I am important to him? I don't know if I should be happy or sad. Happy because I know what he is saying is true. Sad because I know it will change in the future. 

 Important to him? Only Princess Paislee has the right to hear that. How can a mere Villainess of the story can hear that? 

 I am about to respond to him when Ruler Laird suddenly speaks. "You two will definitely be a good couple in the future." He chuckled. "You are now acting like a married couple. I'm sure you'll be sweeter in the future."

 My eyes immediately widened, and I look at Prince Fraser. I found him looking at me with a big smile on his face. He then smirks at me.. "I bet we will, Godfather."
