Why Did I Become the Villainess?

Chapter 392: : Ensure



I immediately look back and find Prince Joachim standing behind me.

"Prince Joachim?"

He smiles widely at me. "Dame Csille, you are here. I didn't expect to see you here." He looks at the vacant chair in front of me. "May I?"

I anxiously look outside, hoping I can see the carriage or Mister Sewell so I can have a reason to get away from this Prince. But to my disappointment, I didn't see any car.

I heave a sigh and nod my head reluctantly. I don't hate Prince Joachim, but after the conversation I had with him last time, I don't know how to act around him anymore.

He knows the secret relationship of the Vrawyth Kingdom with the Illorian City and Alderrdeen City. And until now, it is still a mystery how he managed to learn that secret. I understand if Mister Sewell knows about it because even if he doesn't have the royal status anymore, he was still influential in the Kingdom.

However, Prince Fraser is a different case. He is just a forgotten Prince of a small kingdom, and to top it all. He was even disabled. So, it doesn't make sense at all on how he knows these secrets.

"Dame Csille, are you waiting for someone? Is it okay for me to sit with you?"

I look at Prince Joachim and smile reassuringly at him. "No, I'm not waiting for someone. I just came here to eat my breakfast. How about you? Are you here to eat your breakfast too?"

I frowned when I noticed something was off. As far as I remember, he doesn't like to eat sweets. So, how come he is here?

Prince Joachim looks at the guard, who is pushing his wheelchair. "Order me something to eat."

The guard blows his head first before he rushes to the counter to order something. I stare at Prince Joachim with a frown. He didn't even mention what he wanted to have as his breakfast.

What is this Prince doing here?

I heave a sigh. "Prince Joachim, don't you hate sweets? How come you are here? Don't get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with you eating sweets. I was just confused because I remember Princess Roese mentioned before that you despise eating sweets."

Prince Joachim smiled at me. "Can't this Prince have a change of mind? I heard that this pastry shop is famous among the nobles and royals, so I decided to check it out. And I know most of them are picky eaters, so I'm sure they serve delicious desserts. Didn't you like to eat here too?"

I nod my head and take a sip of my pudding while scanning the area outside the pastry shop. Hoping I would see Allan, Mister Sewell's guard, or any person of Mister Sewell, but to my dismay, I don't see them.

So, I don't have any choice but to deal with this Prince even if I don't want to.

"Yeah, it is one of the famous pastry shops here. But are you sure you want to eat sweets?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Nor that I care about him. He could eat all sweets he wanted, and I wouldn't mind. But I only want him to leave me alone.

No one should see that I am waiting for someone. No one should know my connection with Mister Sewell.

Especially Prince Joachim, who is an ally of the Vrawyth Kingdom. If he knows what I am doing, I am sure it will be the end of me. So, I need to drive this Prince away from me before the carriage arrives.

Prince Joachim stares at me for a couple of seconds. "Are you driving me away, Csille?"

I immediately shake my head. Although I really want to, I don't have a courage to admit that. Even if I'm betraying the Vrawyth Kingdom now, I still don't want to taint its relationship with the Yesian Kingdom.

"Please, don't misunderstand my words. I was just merely concerned about you. I heard you once ate too many sweets that you ended up being hospitalized for a week. That's why I'm worried if it's okay for you to eat too many sweets."

Prince Joachim smiles widely at me. He looks so happy, and I don't know what's the reason for that happiness.

What happened? What did I say that made him look like that?

"Thank you for the concern, Dame Csille, but I can assure you that nothing will happen to me after eating these desserts. After all, I'm only eating a small portion of it and not a bunch of it. So, you shouldn't have to worry."

I nod my head and just focus on eating. I was planning to finish eating and just wait for the carriage somewhere nearby.

Although he didn't say something wrong or do something wrong, I just couldn't stay still with him knowing he knew something. I need to know first why he knows the secret relationship of the Vrawyth Kingdom with the Illorian City and Alderrdeen City before I talk to him again.

In just a few minutes, I managed to eat my pudding. I looked around me, but I didn't so any carriage outside. So, I don't have a choice but to just find an excuse and wait for the carriage somewhere else.

I look at Prince Joachim, who is now about to take a bite of his pudding that his guard ordered. I just let him eat his fill before I say anything. After all, I don't want to ruin his joy eating pudding.

He closes his eyes while tasting the pudding. A moment after, he opened his eyes and let out a satisfied sigh. I can even see his eyes is shining with happiness. "Now, I understand why it is famous among the nobles and royals. This is the most delicious pudding I have ever tasted. I don't mind eating a couple of this."

I shake my head. Of course, it is delicious, it's the reason why Rufus loves this pastry shop and its pudding. This is the only pastry shop that sells the most delicious pudding in the capital.

"I don't think it is okay for you to eat a couple of these. Aren't you afraid that you'll end up being hospitalized again?"

Prince Joachim smiles reassuringly at me. "Don't worry, Dame Csille. I was just exaggerating when I said that. I know it won't be good for my health if I eat too many sweets. But thank you for the concern. I appreciate that."

I almost made a face when I heard what he said. I do admit I was a little bit concerned about his safety, not because I was really concerned about him. But because I was with him when he was eating this pudding. I'm sure if something happens to him, I will be questioned by everyone on why I let him eat too many sweets.

However, I couldn't say that to him, or else I might offend this Prince. I just smile at him and stay here for a couple of moments. I let him enjoy the happiness of eating a pudding before I excuse myself. After all, I don't want to ruin his happiness.

I pretend to look at my time watch. "Excuse me, Prince Joachim, but I need to go now. I didn't realize I took up too much of my time because of my breakfast. I still have other things to do today, so I hope you can understand."

Prince Joachim puts his fork down and looks at the guards standing a few meters away from us. "Let's send Dame Csille off to whe-"

I immediately shake my head and interrupts him. "No, you don't need to send me off. I can handle. Just enjoy your breakfast."

Prince Joachim stares at me with a frown. "But are you sure it's okay for you to walk around alone?" He looks outside the pastry shop. "I don't see the Lauretré carriage. I don't think it is

safe for you-"

I smile reassuringly at him. I would be more safe if I were alone. After all, I still have a lot of doubts about this Prince.

"Thank you for the concern, but even if I am no longer his highness, Prince Fraser's fiancée, I am still the heiress of the Lauretré family. I don't think anyone has the guts to harm me. Also, even if they did, I know a few moves to protect myself. So, don't worry, Prince Joachim." I look at my time watch, and I let out a loud gasp. To make sure Prince Joachim heard that gasp. Then I look at him panicking. "I'm sorry, Prince Joachim, but I really need to go now. I forgot I have something important to do today. So, if you'll excuse me."

I didn't wait for his response and got out of the pastry shop in a rush. It's a good thing that the moment I step outside, I have spotted the carriage of Mister Sewell coming my way. I immediately raised my hand to stop it.

The moment it stopped, I didn't wait for the coachman to open the carriage for me. I just

opened it myself.

Allan immediately turns his head to me. "Apologies, Dame Csille. Something came up that's why I am late. I hope you can forgive me."

I just wave my hand at him and ask him to start the carriage. With confusion in his eyes, he starts to maneuver the carriage away from the place.

I look at Prince Joachim and find him staring intensely at the carriage where I was in.

What does this Prince want?

"Dame Csille, why don't you take some tea first?" He then offers a teacup full of tea to me.

I bow my head as a token of gratitude before I take the teacup with my two hands. "Thank you, Mister Sewell."

I anxiously take a sip of the tea. I have been here for half an hour now, but Mister Sewell doesn't even mention anything about the plan. He was just talking about his experiences and some random adventures he has.

I heave a soft sigh and sip my tea. Even if I have a lot of questions right now, I don't have the courage to ask him.

I may be the person who writes this novel, but there are things that are happening right now that aren't following the script, so I want to know first if everything their plan will be the same as what I have written.

Mister Sewell put down his teacup and looked at the Sakura tree in front of us. "Dame Csille,

are you really sure about your plan? You know there is no turning back now once you start

executing your plan."

I look at him and frown. What does this man want? I already agree to ally with him, and now

he wants me to take back my decision? I don't understand him.

"Do you want me to take back my decision, Mister Sewell?"

I saw him smile faintly before he stared at me. "I only want you to do things you wouldn't

regret. I know you have deep feelings for Prince Fraser, so I want to make sure that you will not regret it in the future. After all, once you decide to go against him, you will never end up with him again."

I stare at him for a couple of seconds, and it suddenly dawns on me. This guy is a wise man.

He pretends like he is concerned about my future, but the truth is he only wants to ensure that

I will not turn my back on them. He wants to make sure that I will not betray them in the future.

I heave a sigh and smile sadly at him. "Let me be honest with you, Mister Sewell. I'm not sure what I am doing. All I know is, right now, I want to make Prince Fraser pay for everything he

inflicted me."

Mister Sewell stares me directly into my eyes. "But are you sure you won't regret it? I only

support you because I know that will make you happy, but I don't want you to be in despair

after all of this ends. So, why don't we just take a deep breath and think thoroughly about what you want to do."

Think? What is this guy trying to do?
