Why Did I Become the Villainess?-Chapter 230 - Prince Fraser’s Visit

On Pax Dea's second day in the Vrawyth Kingdom, Brother Pascal didn't let me accompany them. So, I was left alone in the Lauretré residence. While Pax Dea and Brother Pascal tour around the Vrawyth Kingdom.

Mother and Father are still busy with their duties. So, I just spend my day overthinking. Thinking about what will I do with the book I got from the ruins. Thinking about the thing Aaline told me and thinking about the future.

My head is already hurting, but it still won't stop overthinking.

I groan. "When will you stop thinking? Like, come on? Don't you know the word break? I just want to enjoy the peaceful day before the storm."

My eyes wander on the calendar hanging on the wall. I frowned when I realized something was amiss.

Why do I feel like I'm forgetting something important today?

I was startled when I heard someone knocks. I look back and find our butler. He bows his head to me. "Miss, there is someone looking for you downstairs."

Looking for me? Rufus? But it's impossible. As far as I know, Rufus has work today. It's impossible that it's him.

"May I know who is this person looking for me?"

"It's his highness, Prince Fraser. I already let him in and let our maids entertain him while he waits."

I feel my body stiffen. I now remember what I'm forgetting about. It's Prince Fraser's visit.

On Csille's second day in the Vrawyth, his highness, Prince Fraser, visited her to check on her as per his majesty's order.

"Miss?" I heard the butler say.

I tried to speak, but I can feel that I had already lost my control over Csille's body again.

I have written this scene.

The real Csille got elated knowing Prince Fraser visited her despite his busy schedule. However, she will only end up being disappointed because the reason why Prince Fraser visits her is because of his majesty's order and not because of his own will.

The real Csille beams at the butler. "Thank you for informing me. I will be going down then. It won't be good to make his highness wait."

Csille looked at her mirror before she went downstairs happily.

It's been months since I last saw him. I thought it would take days before he would visit me because of his busy schedule. However, I didn't expect he would visit me immediately. I'm happy.

Prince Fraser immediately sees Csille. He then put down the teacup he was holding and stood up. The maids who are serving his highness immediately leave the receiving area.

Csille gives Prince Fraser a smile.

His face looks even more handsome than the last time I see him. Prince Fraser...

Prince Fraser just nods his head at Csille. "You're back. Welcome back." He said coldly.

Csille's heart raced when she heard Prince Fraser welcomes her back. She immediately rushed towards him, but she didn't dare touch him or hug him. Afraid that he won't like it.

"Prince Fraser..."

Csille has a lot of things to say to him, but she couldn't find the words to say. She doesn't want to make Prince Fraser displease her because of her actions and her words. So, she just waited for him to say something.

Prince Fraser sits down, and he looks at the chair in front of him. Csille doesn't mind sitting in front of him. Although she prefers to sit beside him.

Prince Fraser didn't say anything and just casually sipped the tea. After a few moments, he looks at Csille. "How are your journey?"

Csille beams. "It was okay. Although it was really tiring." Csille looks at Prince Fraser. "How about you, your highness? How have you been? It's been months since we saw each other. I hope you are doing okay."

Prince Fraser remains quiet for a couple of seconds. "I'm okay. I'm only here to check on you. Now that I know you're okay, I better get going. I still have a lot of things to do today." He then stands up to his seat.

Csille immediately stands up. "Your highness, please wait. I still have a question I need to ask. If you wouldn't mind, of course."

"Question? What question do you want to ask?"

Is he really here to check how am I? Why does it look like he is rushing? Shouldn't he stay here for a couple of minutes? After all, it's been months since we saw each other. Why does it look like he was just forced to come here?

Csille sigh. "Are you really here to check how am I doing? Why does it seems like you're not really interested with my wellbeing?" Csille shakes her head and smiles bitterly.

I understand it now. I'm sure his majesty ordered him to check on me. Why do I even expect he will care about me? Does he still think badly of me?

"I'm sorry, your highness." I bow my head. "I know it's his majesty order to check on me. Father mentioned that you are busy doing your duties every day that you often stay out late. I apologize if I disturb your schedule."

Csille clenches her fist but remains smiling at Prince Fraser. She knows that it would displease Prince Fraser if he sees that he is disappointed.

Prince Fraser stares straight into Csille's eyes. "I was busy with my duties, Csille. I also heard from the Count that you are fine. That's why I didn't check on you." He sigh. "If you don't have anything to ask. I will be taking my leave now."

Csille watches Prince Fraser's back. She bites her lips and tries to stop the tears from falling to her eyes.

"Fraser, thank you."

Prince Fraser stops walking, but his back is still facing Csille. "It is part of my responsibility as your fiancé to look for your wellbeing."

Csille shakes her head. "That's not what I'm talking about. Thank you for the congratulatory letter your sent when I was still in Alderdeen. You don't know how much it made me happy."

Prince Fraser looks back at Csille. "I didn't send you any letter. Maybe you're mistaken."

After he said those words, he immediately excused himself and left. Leaving the real Csille alone and dumbfounded.

________________________________

I look at the congratulatory letter that I assumed Prince Fraser sent me. I smile bitterly at myself.

I am too dumb to believe that Prince Fraser will send me a letter. What do I think of myself? The female lead?

I look at the ceiling and sigh. "Pearce is right. I am really a dumb person."

After Prince Fraser left the Lauretré residence, I immediately gained control over Csille's body.

I look at the letter and inspect it thoroughly. The letter was sent by Prince Fraser's messenger bird, and only he could command that bird. Aside from the messenger bird, the handwriting on the letter is similar to Prince Fraser's handwriting. It also has the seal of Prince Fraser. How can I think that it's not from him?

But if it's not from him, where does this letter come from? Who sent me this letter and disguised himself as Prince Fraser? What's his purpose for doing all of this?

Wait, it doesn't add up. If it's someone else, how can that person control the messenger bird of Prince Fraser?

I cannot be mistaken. That is definitely the messenger bird of Prince Fraser because aside from Prince Fraser, no one has a messenger bird with purple eyes.

But who can control Prince Fraser's messenger bird aside from him?

My eyes widened when I realized something. Aside from Prince Fraser, there is another person who can control that bird, and that is...

Princess Paislee!

How can I also forget the fact that she can also copy people's handwriting? I mentioned it in my novel before.

It's her! She was the one who sent the letter. However, there is one thing I don't understand. Why did she do that? Why did she disguise herself as Prince Fraser and make me believe that the letter is from Prince Fraser?

What would she get from doing all of these?

I look at the letter and sigh. Forget it. I already have too many things to deal with it. I'll deal with it some other time.

Also, I don't know how to deal with this problem. Should I directly ask Princess Paislee why did she do that? But she could deny doing it? I also don't have concrete proof.

I put the letter inside the drawer and slump my body on my bed. Too much problem. I'm facing too much the moment I arrive at the Vrawyth Kingdom

Will these problems ever end? I'm already exhausted from dealing with everything on my own. Can I take just a few days' break from it?

________________________________

I didn't realize I fell asleep while overthinking things. I only woke up when I heard Pax Dea calling me.

I groan and slowly open my eyes. I see Pax Dea staring worriedly at me.

"Csille, are you okay? I've been waking you for a few seconds now. I almost call Brother Pascal to check you."

I look at the wall clock and frown. Isn't it too early for Pax Dea to return? "I'm sorry, I was just in a deep sleep just now. Anyway, why did you return early? Did something happen?"

Pax Dea nods her head. "While Brother Pascal and I are looking around the capital, a guard of Uncle came to us and said Uncle is asking Brother Pascal for some help. Brother Pascal immediately sent me home and look for Uncle."

I frown. Father asked Brother Pascal for help? Did something happen? Father avoids involving Brother Pascal in monarch duties or in the business of the Lauretré because he knows Brother Pascal prefers normal life.

What could have happened today that he has no other choice but to ask for Brother Pascal's help?

"Do you know why Father looks for Brother Pascal? Did the guard mention anything about it?"

Pax Dea shakes her head. "No. The guard didn't mention anything. He just said that Uncle needs Brother Pascal's help immediately. He didn't say any specifics."

I nod my head. What could have happened? Is it another problem again? Should I be worried?

However, based on my novel, I have never written anything like this. Is it that thing controlling this world?

I just hope nothing happened to Father or Brother Pascal.

"Csille, do you think it is something serious?"

"I don't know, Dea. There's one thing I know for sure, Father won't call for Brother Pascal if it's something not important."

Pax Dea holds my hand. "What should we do then? Do you think it's really that bad? Did something happen to Uncle? Should we look for Aunty now?"

I shake my head. "Let's not do something unless we are sure. We still don't have a clear picture of what happened. Let's just wait for Brother Pascal's return. If anything else, Father will immediately call Mother if it's something urgent. So, let calm down."

We all agree to just wait and don't do anything, even if both of us are already anxious to know what is really happening.

After an hour, Brother Pascal, Father and Mother return home together. Pax Dea and I immediately rush towards them.

"Uncle, Brother Pascal, is everything okay? We were so worried about what happened this afternoon."

Father smile at Pax Dea. "I apologize for making the two of you worried. Let's all sit first to talk about what happened."

We all take a seat and wait for Father's explanation.

"We were having our afternoon meeting when Duke Constance suddenly seizures. The Royal Physicians are outside of the capital helping the other regions. The only left Royal Physicians are doctors who don't have enough experience to help the Duke. It's the reason why I called your Brother Pascal for help. Since the nobles don't trust other Doctors, especially since we are dealing with the Duke, his majesty's brother. Only your Brother who is from the Lauretré Family was permitted to check on the Duke's sudden illness."

Pax Dea and I sigh in relief when we assure that there is no problem at all. In fact, Brother Pascal goes there as a Doctor and nothing else.

"How did it go, Father? Is the Duke okay?"

Father smile at me. "He is already okay. Your Brother Pascal helps him. In fact, his majesty was so grateful that he offered your Brother Pascal to be part of the Royal Physicians."

Brother Pascal shakes his head. "But I decline. The reason why I refused to inherit the Lauretré business is because I don't want to deal with the nobilities. I'm already satisfied with the simple life I have."

Mother smile at Brother Pascal and hold his hand. "And we are all here to always support you, Pascal. I hope you remember that"

I look at Brother Pascal and smile. I also don't want him to enter the monarch. Not because I'm worried he'll take the right to be the heir. Brother Pascal can take the heir position, and I wouldn't mind.. But I'm just worried he'll end up in danger in the future because of Csille's future mistakes.
