Why Did I Become the Villainess?-Chapter 20 - Preposition

Csille keeps visiting the stall of the Crown Prince every day to make sure if he's okay. She even pays someone to buy all the fishes the Crown Prince is selling. This routine continues for a month. Csille always visits him no matter how hard Prince Fraser tried to push her away indirectly. She visits him with an alibi of helping the vendors.

The second training is different than the first training. In his first training, Prince Fraser lived with a family. He only needs to help the family in farming, fishing, poultry, and selling things. Which is mostly the job of everyone here.

The second training is different. Prince Fraser will live here alone. He needs to find a way to look for a shelter, to find a job where he could at least pay for one meal a day. Basically, he needs to know how to survive on his own, without anyone helping him. He also needs to work hard for the fish he will be selling. Getting up at midnight to go fishing and selling those the whole day.

This is the reason why the King commands the Lauretré family to stay in the western region. It's to protect Price Fraser and to also guide him if needed.

These days, I haven't experienced losing control over my body which is understandable because this is only a time gap in my novel. The next scene will be the meeting of Csille and the cross dressing Crown Princess Paislee.

It is where the story will begin—the meeting of the female lead and the villainess. I look at the calendar on the wall. We have been living in the western region for almost two months now. And at precisely two months time, Csille Lauretré and Paislee Saintizin will meet.

Paislee is already disguised as Farren Brichagnac, an orphan living in the western region. Paislee ran from an alliance marriage and moved to the western region. Because who would think that the Crown Princess of the Aeslaerean Kingdom will run away to the desolate place like this?

When she came here, she met a couple who are traveling from the capital of Vrawyth to the western region. This couple was banished from the capital city because of a rumor that they are cursed. Apparently, everyone thought they are cursed because on the day of their wedding their both parents died of accidents. Every time the woman will get pregnant, she will get a miscarriage. Their business went down hill, and everything they've own was taken away from them.

Humor is deadly in the capital. When the people heard the couple's story, they got scared and harassed the couple. The monarch was kept hidden from this kind of situation. There are many instances that happened to other families, and all of them were banished into the western region. It's also the same reason why many people don't want to even dare mention the name of the western region. Because they think it's a cursed place.

Paislee sneaks into a ship. She thought it would bring her to the capital of Vrawyth. However, she's wrong. It's the ship to the western region and it's the ship where the couple is. Paislee met the couple there, and they agreed to save Paislee from being thrown to the sea. It's a custom. If ship crew found someone who sneaks in, they will throw that person into the sea to make other people afraid of sneaking in again.

The couple made her crossdress as their son, whose name is Farren Brichagnac. Paislee lives in the western region for almost a year now. The couple who acts as her parents died of the contagious disease two months after they came here.

Paislee, or shall I call Farren, lives on her own now. The couple owns a house here, so she doesn't need to worry about shelter. However, since she doesn't know much about the work here, she applied to work as the blacksmiths apprentice.

Paislee Saintizin was raised to be a fighter. She knows her way with a sword. She was trained to hold a sword and to ride a horse since young. Aside from having excellent swordsmanship, she also loves to make her own sword which helps her to make a living in the western region. She was the only apprentice of the best blacksmith in the Aeslaerean Kingdom.

Seeing how talented Farren is, the blacksmith in the western region hired her. However, the sword shop in the western region isn't that profiting a lot. Since people doesn't have enough money to sustain a living. Only few people could buy a sword for protection.

Csille and Paislee will meet because of an accident. Next week, when Csille is walking to to the market, she was robbed off by bandits. These bandits are the ones who are living in the Grimlemn forest. They sometimes go down to the market to robbed off some vendors and people.

Paislee disguised as Farren will save Csille in the hands of those bandits. And because of this, Csille will try to buy Farren to protect the Crown Prince. And that's where everything will be messed up. Who would have thought that the Crown Prince will fell in love with Farren? Csille didn't know that she had become the matchmaker of the two leads.

I look up at the sky and sigh. This stay in the western region will surely be not boring. I just hope Prince Fraser wouldn't get hurt.

It's the day! It's the day when I will meet Crown Princess Paislee. And just like the last time, my body wakes up on her own. Again. I didn't have control over my body.

Although I still don't feel okay with this, but the thought of meeting Princess Paislee makes me excited. I know I couldn't say what I want to tell her, but I'm satisfied just by seeing her in person.

I am now walking to the market. I look around trying to observe the surroundings. One of this moments five muscular tall guys will block our way and robbed us off in broad daylight. I started counting to three, and as soon as I finished counting. Five muscular guys come out of nowhere. One guy has an ax in his hand. It's a giant ax. The two guys have an arrow and a bow. The other two have swords tied on their waist. Oh boy! Looks what we got here. I expect this to happen, but I am still stupefied when I see how big they are. I think one guy could crush me to death if he wants to.

The next scene is exactly what I've written in my novel. And since I couldn't control my body, I just let that force inside of me to do what she wants to. I just watched the scene unfolded in my eyes. It's like I am seeing the live action of my novel. It's soo cool.

My body shivered on its own, and I found myself slumped on the floor, crying my heart out. One guy walks toward me but before he could even touch a single hair of mine, someone thrown something on the guy. The guy fell on the ground backward.

My eyes look up to the person who did that. Who would throw a coconut at a person? It's Paislee! Of course. As much as I want to run to her and hugs her, I couldn't. My body remains slumping on the ground and looking at Paislee disguised as Farren.

Paislee grabs my arms and drags me to run. My body ran and followed the speed of running of Princess Paislee. We enter an abandoned looking house. It's probably the house of the couple who helps her. She then walked to a room and closed the door.

I could hear footsteps from the outside of the house, although none of them dare to enter the house. Even though the bandits are ruthless, they wouldn't dare to do something like robbing someone in their own house. After an hour, those bandits decided just to let us off. They probably realize that they wouldn't get anything from us.

We stay hidden for a couple of minutes before Paislee drags me out of the room. She let me sits on a chair in the kitchen.

I really want to hug her and tell her many things, but my body remained seated. I could feel pain again every time I try to move.

"Count's daughter, are you okay?" I heard a young man's voice. I look up and saw Paislee looking at me with concern.

If I didn't know that she's Paislee, I'm pretty sure I'll misunderstand the way she looks at me. "I'm okay. Thank you for saving me." My mouth said.

"I'm Farren Brichagnac." She takes something in a cupboard. It's a loaf of bread. "You want bread? I'm sorry, it's the only thing I could offer." She scratches her nape out of embarrassment, I guess.

I find it cute. I really want to laugh at her gesture, but my face wouldn't let me do it. It just remain emotionless. Oh, come on! Csille! How can you not notice Princess Paislee? That's your friend.

My hand waves on his own. "Don't bother. I'm good. Anyways, thank you for saving me. I owe you. You got skills. I could see that. Do you know martial arts?"

My eyes landed on a sword hanging on the wall. It's beautiful! My feet walk towards it. There are inscriptions on the sword. I'm not sure where or when, but I think I saw those inscriptions before. I just forgot where. "Where did you buy this?" My mouth said.

Princess Paislee looks at the sword. "I didn't buy this. I made this. I work as the apprentice of the only blacksmith in the western region. This is the first sword I made."

Liar! You didn't make it here. All the swords you made here are just cheap metals. However, this one is different. Just by looking at it, you could already know that it is a top grade sword. She probably made it in the Aeslaerean Kingdom.

"I have preposition to made. Since you save me, I can do something for you in return."

It's definitely the same! It's the same lines I have written. I know what will happen next. Princess Paislee will hesitate to accept the preposition I will offer.

"What is it?"

"I could help you be a royal guard in the capital."

Shock was evident on her face. She shakes her head then. "What's the catch?"

My mouth smiled. I don't know if I should be happy that you agree. If you agree, then everything I write will happen. Both the ml and fl will be happy and fall in love with each other. However, it also means that I could never get away from my destiny to be the villainess. "Nothing. I just want you to guard someone here."

And it's official. I could really not avoid being the villainess. I'm pretty sure the Crown Princess will agree. If Csille only knew what she had done. She'll probably wouldn't do this.

Paislee raised an eyebrow at me. "Guard someone? Who could that be? Also, the Count and the Countess already have guards around you. Why would you need to have an extra one?"

It's because the one you will be guarding is not from the Lauretré family but the Crown Prince of the Vrawyth Kingdom, Prince Fraser Astalieu. But Csille is wise. She wouldn't rat the truth out. She knew she'd be dead if she tells someone about the second training of the Crown Prince.

"It's because the person you're guarding is not a Lauretré."

My feet walk towards the window. I'm scared. It's funny that I could still be frightened even though I know what will happen next. If only I could do something to change our faiths. Prince Fraser wouldn't need to get in danger. Princess Paislee wouldn't need to disguise herself. And what? Csille could have Prince Fraser for herself? Ysavel! What are you thinking? You can't possibly fall in love with Prince Fraser, right? It's Csille feelings. Not yours.

"Not a Lauretré?"

My head looks back at her. "Yes, it's not a Lauretré. It's a friend of mine. I could help you become a royal guard and brings you to the capital if you do what I said."

"Who is this person?"

"I'll show him to you the other day. He's just a normal citizen in here. So it wouldn't be that difficult to guard him."

Paislee raised her eyebrows at me. "Why would you need to guard a normal citizen in here? What's so special about that person? You're a Lauretré. Why not use the guard of your family?"

My head shakes on its own. Because the Count would disagree with this, it's a good thing that Csille cared for Prince Fraser, or else Prince Fraser would lose his life in this desolate place. As much as I don't want to harm both of them, I have no choice. It's either I could save Princess Paislee from doing this and endanger the life of Prince Fraser. Or I could choose to save the life of Prince Fraser and endanger the life of Princess Paislee.

No matter what my choice is. Someone needs to be endangered. If I could just do something to avoid it. However, I really couldn't do anything against what I've written in the book. It will happen. It needs to be happen.
