Why Did I Become the Villainess?

Chapter 336 : Unexpected Guests (1)

"Dame Csille, I hope you had a great time here, and I hope you can visit me again some other time. That if it's okay with you."

One meal turns to numerous visits. Just like how I have written. After this one meal, Mister Sewell will continue to have a connection with Csille. He will then try to gain her trust so she will agree with their plan. He will use Csille's weakness to make things in favor of him.

I smile at him. "Thank you for inviting me here. I did enjoy the meal and the place. But a second visit will depend on my schedule. Although I still also hope I could have another chance to go here."

I know I will visit him, but I still need to keep my distance. In my novel, Csille is still on guard against Mister Sewell, and I need to follow that. Mister Sewell looked relieved when he heard I still wanted to visit the place. He smiles at me widely. "You are always welcome to come here. I'll just send you a letter to ask for an update. So, you don't have to worry about how to communicate with me." I nod my head. It's a good thing he said that. I was worried I wouldn't be able to communicate with him. "I'll be troubling you then."

Mister Sewell smile at me before he looks at Allan. He's one of the two guards who were with Mister Sewell on the day we met. "Allan, can you please prepare the carriage and drop Dame Csille to the Foundation. Make sure that no one will see you. We don't want to trouble Dame Csille."

Allan nods his head and immediately go prepared the carriage. A moment after, a carriage stops in front of me. But unlike the plain carriage they use this morning, the carriage in front of us looks like a carriage that you can hire. Mister Sewell opens the door for me and gestures his hand inside. "I know it will become suspicious if anyone finds you enter the carriage this morning. So, to avoid you from having any issues, I decided to use this one. I hope you didn't mind."

He really plans it all. From the letter, to the carriage, to the house and such. Everything is well thought. This Mister Sewell is really not as simple as he portrays.

I shake my head. "How can I mind? I know you are only doing this for my safety, and I really appreciate that, Mister Sewell. I apologize for troubling you." I bow my head at him as a thank you and get inside the carriage. "Thank you."

Mister Sewell just smiles at me before he reminds Allan to be careful and make sure nothing will trouble me. After making sure that everything was settled, Mister Sewell ordered Allan to start the carriage already.

The carriage makes its way through the woods while I look outside my window. Contemplating on what I will do next. The story is progressing at a speed that I didn't expect. I need to prepare things on my end now if I still want to save all the people that are important to me.

Time is ticking. I need to make a move now.

I just step out of the carriage when Lilla comes rushing towards me. "Dame Csille! Dame Csille, you are finally here. I thought I needed to look for you everywhere."

I frowned when I noticed the sense of urgency in Lilla's voice. I hold Lilla's hand to keep her in place. She's been walking around, probably because she is panicking. She then looks at me with panic in her eyes. "Shhh. What happening? Why do you look so anxious? Did something happen while I was gone?"

Lilla nods her head vigorously. "Yes, Dame Csille. It's a good thing you have returned already, or else I don't know how to deal with those Princes. Also, I was afraid I might blurt out that you have received a threatening letter early this morning." Lilla held my hand tightly. "Where have you been to, Dame Csille? I hope nothing happened to you. I was worried the whole time you were gon—"

I hold Lilla's shoulder. "Lilla, calm down. I'm sorry if I returned just now. I was busy doing something important." I frown when I remember what she said. Princes? "And what did you say just now? That you don't know how to deal with those Princes? Who are the Princes you are talking about?"

Lilla's eyes widened. She then pulls my hand towards the Foundation. "Dame Csille, his highness, Prince Fraser, Prince Rufus and Prince Joachim are currently in the Foundation. They have been waiting for you for half an hour now."

My eyes widened when I heard what Lilla said. What? Those three Princes are here? But what is their purpose of coming to the Foundation? Also, how come Rufus can control his temper around Prince Fraser? I thought he couldn't help but feel angry every time he saw Prince Fraser?

I look at Lilla. I can now understand why she is panicking because I can also feel myself starting to panic now. "Lilla, did they mention what's the purpose of their visit here?"

Why do I feel like something terrible will happen? Every time I felt that something terrible would happen, I was often right. Lilla shakes her head. "I'm sorry, Dame Csille, but I forgot to ask them. I was too anxious about thinking of a way to find you that it slipped my mind to ask them of their purpose. But I think it is something important because I'm sure they wouldn't wait for you for an hour if it's not important."

I nod my head. She is right, though. Prince Fraser always put importance with his time. He doesn't like to waste it on useless things. But if it's the case, what is this important thing, and why am I involved in this? I feel Lilla tugs my hand. "Dame Csille, I think it's best for you to come inside already. You know it's never good to make the royalties wait, right? They have been waiting for you for half an hour now."

Half an hour? With Prince Fraser's temper? That's really not a good thing. I immediately walk inside the Foundation. I looked around, but I couldn't find the three Princes. I look back at Lilla. "Where are they?"

Lilla takes a deep breath first before she answers me. "I made them wait in one of the guests rooms on the second floor. I originally planned to make them wait in your office, but then I remembered how many documents were scattered around. That's why I decided to just use one of our guests rooms. Mairenn and Cairistine are with them."

I nod my head. It's a good thing Lilla made them wait in one of our guests rooms. My office is a mess right now, and I don't think those Princes will appreciate that kind of environment.

"Thank you for taking care of them while I was gone. How are they doing? Are they mad? Did they ask questions?"

Lilla shakes her head. "It is part of my responsibility to take care of your guests while you are away. So, you don't have to thank me, Dame Csille. As for your question, Mairenn is making sure that the three Princes will be entertained. Also, I'm not sure if they are mad. I think they are only upset for waiting, but mad will be an overstatement. And yes, they ask questions about you. Where are you, what are you doing, when are you coming back, and such. It was Prince Rufus and Prince Joachim who asked most of the questions."

Lilla starts to show me where the three Princes are staying while answering my question. I smiled bitterly when I heard Lilla's answer. What can I expect from Prince Fraser? Of course, he won't ask anything about me. He despised me, so why would he bother asking questions? I heave a sigh and follow Lilla behind. I didn't say anything or ask questions. I don't think I still want to know other things after what I heard from Lilla. I just remain quiet and walk behind her.

A moment after, we stopped in one of the biggest guests room in the Foundation. Lilla thinks it through. She knows it isn't right to put them into regular guests rooms because it will be too small for them.

Aside from rooms for the employees, I also made rooms for guests. In case some donors would want to stay here. There are donors from outside the Kingdom. Although they are only few, I still want to repay them for the help they give to the Foundation.

Lilla opened the door, and I was immediately greeted by Cairistine. She rushes to me for a hug which I gladly return. "Dame Csille, you are back! His Highness, Prince Fraser is here to see you."

Prince Fraser is here to see me? I don't think that's the case. I'm sure he didn't have any choice but come here because he never once visited me after we returned from the northern region. He will only do that if it's something important, but to check on me? That is beyond impossible. But because I don't want to disappoint Cairistine, I just gently caress her head and smile at her. "Thank you for informing me, my dear. Where are they?"

Cairistine holds my hand and pulls me towards the mini receiving area. The guests rooms are not just a simple bedroom and a bathroom. It has a receiving area, a mini kitchen and dining area, a bedroom with a luxurious bathroom, and a library where you can relax. It is to make sure the visitors will be comfortable with their stay. I ensure that everyone who will stay in the Foundation will have received the best service. "Mother! Mother, Dame Csille is already here!" Cairistine shouts the moment we step inside the receiving area.

Mairenn, who was standing on the side, immediately widened her eyes and shook her head. "Cairistine, how many times will I tell you that shouldn't shout. That's not how a young lady should act." Cairistine immediately bowed her head when she got scolded by her mother. Mairenn heaves a sigh and looks at me. "Dame Csille, I apologize for my daughter's behavior. I would teach her well this time." She then takes her daughter away from me before she looks at the three Princes who are watching the scenes unfold. "Your highness. Prince Fraser, Prince Rufus, and Prince Joachim, I also apologize for my daughter's behavior." She bows her head. "I will be taking my leave then."

Mairenn urges Cairistine to apologize to the Princes first before she brings her daughter out of the guests room. Lilla follows them behind. Leaving me alone with the three Princes and Princess Paislee. I smile awkwardly at them before I do a curtsy. "I apologize for making you wait. I was busy doing work outside. I hope you all understand." I was expecting Rufus or Prince Joachim to say something first, but I was shocked when Prince Fraser stood up and walked towards me. I look at Rufus, who is still sitting on the sideline. Hoping he would do something to stop Prince Fraser from walking towards me, but he just sat there and avoided my eyes.

I look at Prince Fraser, who is now standing a few steps from me. "Dame Csille, where have you been? We have been waiting for you for half an hour already." He said calmly with his expressionless face.

I heave a sigh. I didn't expect he would talk to me in a calm way. Knowing his temper? I was expecting he would immediately snap at me. "Your highness, I apologize for making you wait. As what I have said, I was busy with things, that's why I just arrived now."

Prince Fraser frowns. He then takes another step forward, reducing the distance between us. "And by things you mean? Your employee didn't say any specific. So, I wanted to know where does Csille Lauretré went?" He said while looking intently at me. What's happening? Why does Prince Fraser sound like he is concerned about me? And he even used my full name. It's the first I heard him say my name like that because he usually calls me Dame Csille. "Csille, I am asking you a question. Care to answer me?"
