Why Did I Become the Villainess?

   I woke up with a dreadful headache. I look at the clock beside my table. It's already seven in the morning. I look at the calendar on the wall.

   "Oh shoot! I have an exam for geography today." I immediately get up from my bed and runs to the bathroom. My geography class will be at nine o'clock. It will take me half an hour to prepare myself. After that, I still need to go to the cafeteria to eat my breakfast. I could have an hour to study geography. I need to get fast so I could have a lot of time to study.

    I smiled at the mirror, satisfied with how I look. Afterward, I immediately go down to the cafeteria. There aren't a lot of people eating. Thank god! People in here eat their breakfast in time. It's usually seven to eight in the morning. It's already past eight now, so there aren't many people left. I lined up for the food and took a much secluded place to sit on.

   I am planning to study while eating. It's just salad and chocolate shake. Back in the real world, I usually eat chocolate when studying because they say it's good for the memory.

   I was busy eating and studying when a plate of princesstårta comes into my sight. I look up to see who puts it on the table. A smiling face of Rufus welcomed me. He is wearing the uniform of the Royal University of Vrawyth. It's the sister school of my school, the Vrawyth High School of the Nobles. It's just beside our school and students from the two schools could visit each other given that they have a permission slip.

   "Princesstårta to the beautiful Lady of the Lauretré family." Rufus grinned at me. He pushes the cake in front of me. "Why don't you take a bite? I bought it in our favorite pastry shop."

    I look at Rufus and the Princesstårta. My mouth instantly watered by just the sight of it. "You're flattering me too much. What are you doing here?" I raised my eyebrows at him. The permission slip only works with nobles or commoners. However, royals don't need one to enter the schools. Talk about privilege.

"Nothing. I just want to visit you. I haven't seen you for a long time. Don't you miss me?" He cuts a piece of princesstårta and took a spoonful of it. He then offers it to me.

I am about to take a bite when someone eats the spoonful of princesstårta out of nowhere. I look back and see Prince Fraser glaring at Rufus.

"Brother Rufus. What are you doing here?" He asks without smiling. He sits beside me. He took the spoon from Rufus and took a spoonful of princesstårta. I was about to scold him for taking my food when he offers it to me. "Eat."

I look at Prince Fraser. His brows are knitted. Oh no! The Crown Prince is in a bad mood. I instantly took the spoonful of the cake and smiled at him. I better eat my salad fast and leave immediately. I don't want to talk to a bad mood Prince Fraser.

"So, Brother Rufus, what made you came here?"

I look at Prince Fraser and Rufus. Oh oh! Why do I feel tension between them? This is bad. I closed my notes and ate my salad fast. I need to go! I was too engrossed in the idea of going out of here when I choked on my food.

I immediately look for the chocolate shake, but my eyes widened when I noticed that it's all empty. Prince Fraser and Rufus both stand up and run to look for water.

A few seconds later, Rufus runs towards me with a glass of water. "Csille! Here, drink this." I immediately grab the glass of water and drinks it.

    I looked at Rufus and smiled. "Thank you." My sight turn towards Prince Fraser, who is behind Rufus. He is also holding a glass of water. He puts the glass of water on the other table and turns his back on us. He looks sad.

   "Csille. Be careful when you are eating. Are you planning to die because of choking?" Rufus nags at me.

   I look at him and just smiled. My mind keeps replaying the scene when Prince Fraser looks at me sadly and turns his back. Why? Why do you look at me like that, Fraser?

_________

    My geography exam just finished, and my classmates and I are talking about how difficult it is. As for me, I really did not find it difficult. The history here is quite the same in the history in the real world. So, it isn't that difficult for me.

   "Hey! Csille, how do you find the exam? Is it difficult?" One of my classmates ask, but since I am too busy thinking, I didn't hear anything from them.

   I stand from my seat and gather my things absentmindedly. My classmates just shrugged it off. I walk out of the room while still in a trance.

   My mind keeps replaying the scene that happened in the cafeteria. I don't understand why would Prince Fraser would look at me like that. I was still busy thinking when someone blocks my way. It's one of our seniors. He's a fourth year student and kind of famous in our school. He's a genius and comes from a family of physicians. His parents are working in the palace as Royal Physician.

   "Csille Lauretré." He looks at me with a flushed face. Oh no! I think I know what will happen next. He took a bouquet of flowers from his back and offered it to me. "I like you. Can I court you?" The guy looks at me shyly.

   Oh boy! I knew it. He looks okay, actually. He's handsome. If I will compare him to the standard beauty of men in the real world, he could pass. If I could rate him by looks, he's probably a nine over ten. However, I still haven't forgotten that this world is just a fictional world. And Csille Lauretré will fell in love with Prince Fraser in the future. I don't want to used people or hurt people. He seems like a nice guy.

I smiled at him. "Thank you for your appreciation. However, I don't really think about being in a relationship right now. I'm sorry." I look at the flowers. "You should also give that flower to someone. I'm sure anyone would like to have it."

He smiled sadly at me. "But not you." I am taken aback by his response. I am supposed to answer, but he cuts me off. He shakes his head and smiled at me. "I'm sorry, I did not mean to say it. However, can we be just friends?"

I look at him. He seems nice, and he is already a graduating student. It will not be long before he graduates. Afterward, he will be busy with the university for sure. I heard he is also considering medicine. So, we wouldn't have any chance to hang out. I nod at him in response.

He looks at the flower and takes my hand. He puts the flower in my hand. "Then you should take this flower. It's a sign of the beginning of our friendship." He then ran and waved his hand at me.

I was left alone holding the bouquet of flowers. Dumbfounded by what just happened. I look at the flower and shake my head. "Oh well, this flower looks so lovely. It will be a waste just to throw it."

I walk towards my room. I stopped on my track when I saw Prince Fraser standing in front of my door. He looks at me and stares at the bouquet flower in my hand.

And here's another one. I walk towards Prince Fraser. "Greetings, your majesty. What are you doing here?" I ask. I didn't dare to open my room. I couldn't even forget how I openly ask him to come inside the last time.

   He still stares at the bouquet of flowers. I snapped my fingers in front of him. "Your highness."

   He looks at me and sighs. "Wouldn't you let me in?" He asks while looking at the closed door.

   I immediately blocked the door and held my keys in my pocket. "I'm sorry, your majesty. My room is in a mess right now. I cannot." I shake my head in refusal. You can't enter the room! No no no! Cannot be.

   Prince Fraser raised his eyebrows at me. "I thought you said last time that I could enter your room? What changed? Also, that's just a messy room. I am sure Rufus' room is messier than yours. So, open it."

   Prince, why do you want to go inside? That's not part of the script. You shouldn't enter the villainess room! Come on. Please cooperate with me.

    I laughed at him and pretended to look for the keys. "Oh no! I think I have lost my keys. I'm sorry, your majesty, I think I ne-" before I could even finish what I am saying, the keys on my pocket fell from my hands. I laugh awkwardly. "Oh, look, the key. Hahaha it's on here. I didn't notice, my bad."

   Prince Fraser takes the keys and puts it in his pocket. I look at him nervously. The Prince looks like he's in a bad mood right now. Oh oh! Wrong move, Csille. He inches closer to me. He puts his arms on both of my sides, trapping me.

   "Where did that flower came from? Is it from Prince Rufus?" He asks in a very low voice. He sounded so dangerous right now. Gone the friendly Crown Prince Fraser.

   I shake my head in response. My head is already cloudy right now. The only thing in my mind is how closed the Crown Prince to me.

  I beg you, my Prince. Stop this right now, or I will forget that I am your creator. There shouldn't be a scene like this. You should be doing this to Crown Princess Paislee and not to me. I beg of you!

"Csille Lauretré! I am asking you." He whispered.

I look at him. Trying to figure out what he just said. What is he asking? The bouquet? "It's from one of our seniors. The son of the Royal Physician." I answered absentmindedly. I feel like his beauty is currently hypnotizing me.

I now understand the reason why Helen of Troy is considered a beauty that could destroy a city. I think Prince Fraser is the male version of her. Dayum! He is just fourteen years old but his beauty is too much for me. I could feel myself suffocating. You better collect yourself, Ysavel! That's child abuse.

"Why did he gave you a flower? Is he courting you?" His voice raised a little like he's controlling his anger or something.

Don't be angry, Prince. I am only yours. My clouded mind says silently. I shake my head to get it off my head. This really bad. I need to get out of this situation immediately. It's not safe for my heart..

"No, he just gives it to me as a sign of our friendship."

Prince Fraser looked at the bouquet and took it from my hand. He then looks at me, frowning. "No man would give a lady a flower just for friendship, especially if you haven't talked to him or meet him before. Tell me honestly, did he try to court you?"

I avoided his gaze. Out of sight, out of mind. Don't look Ysavel! Yeah, I just need to not look at him. Prince Fraser sighs and holds my chin to force myself to look back at him. His eyes are now burning on something I couldn't name. It's the same blue eyes I used to look at, but right now it feels a bit different than usual.

"He really did court you! Hah! I couldn't believe him!" He turns his back at me and takes some loud breath. He's controlling his emotions right now. It's one of the things he does if his emotions are unstable.

I am about to take this opportunity to open the door and leave him alone outside, but then I realized that he took the key from me. I have no choice but to take it back from him.

He turns his head to me again. "Next time, don't talk to him again. Okay?"

I look at him confusedly. "Why would I do that? He seems like a nice person. Also, he's our senior I need to respect him."

Prince Fraser put his hand on the door. It was so sudden and loud that I got startled. Why is he so mad about? It's just a flower. Easy!

"Just don't talk to him. I don't like him." He stares at him. He looks like he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

"Hey! That's out of line! I would befriend people I like to be friends with. I don't think you can have a say on that!" I shouted back at him. I kinda don't like how he bossed me around right now. What's wrong with being friends?

He closes the gap between our faces. "I am your fiancé. Of course, I can have a say on that. Remember that!" He then takes my hand and puts my keys on it.

He walks towards the exit like nothing happened. I look at him sadly. Yes, I am your current fiancée now, but in the future, it will change.

I sigh and open my door. I walk towards my bed and lay on it. "Prince Fraser, what would I do with you?"

I recalled the first scene I wrote when they are fourteen. The scene started before the Crown Prince will start his second training in the western region.

Second training? I immediately get up from lying on the bed. It is when Prince Fraser would be in danger.
