Why Did I Become the Villainess?

Chapter 425: : Husband and Wife



I was pretending to listen to Mister Fradel's explanation about the design of the furniture, when I suddenly feel a something hot touching my ears.

I was about to look back but I heard Prince Fraser whisper something in my ears. "I hope you don't misunderstand things, Dame Csille. Mister Fradel is quite eccentric person. He will only sell things to people who confirm to his reality. In his reality, we are married couple. So, please cooperates with me if you still want your furniture."

I nod my head at Prince Fraser and stares at Mister Fradel.

Confirm to his reality? Is this some sort of mental illness? Also, out of all the things he could have in his reality, why would does Prince Fraser and I becomes married?

Mister Fradel look back at us with a smile. "Your highnesses, do you have anything you like? I could give it to the two of you for free. May-"

I immediately shake my head. For free? Based on the design and the quality of wood he used, I am sure it cost him thousands of centimes. So, how can I bear to get this for free?

"No, how can we do that? You have work hard for hours or even days for this furniture. I don't think it is right for us to have it for free."

I look at Prince Fraser hoping he would help me convince Mister Fradel. However, I just saw him staring at me intently.

I frown and stares back at him. Why is he staring at me like that? Did I do something wrong again?

We were busy staring at each other that we forgot that Mister Fradel is with us.

"Your highnesses, I apologize for interrupting the two of you. But I just want to say that I want to give it for free as a wedding gift for the two of you. Congratulations for your wedding."

Prince Fraser and I immediately look at Mister Fradel. Although Prince Fraser didn't say anything to Mister Fradel, I can already sense his awkwardness.

I can't blame him thougg. Who wouldn't feel awkward if someone is paired up with their ex? I am sure everyone will feel awkward about it.

Even I don't have any idea how to respond with Mister Fradel's remarks. Should I thank him but if I do wouldn't it sound off for Prince Fraser?

In the end, I just give Mister Fradel a small smile. "Mister Fradel, how can we accept it? You don't have to give us anything. Your kind words is already enough as a gift. Also, this is your masterpiece. How can you give it for free?"

I didn't call it as a wedding gift because I don't want Prince Fraser assume that I am taking advantage of the situation. That I am still into him.

Mister Fradel smile at us. "Dame Csille, you are the future Rulers of the Kingdom. Everything in this land is owned by you. That's why I think it is only right for you to have it."

I look at Prince Fraser and give him a force smile. How can he just stand there and do nothing at all? Does he really wants to have the furniture for free?

However, this Prince doesn't seem to understand what I am trying to say. He just stares at

me.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

I heave a sigh and look at Mister Fradel. "Mister Fradel, we appreciate your gift but we really couldn't accept this. If you insist on giving it for free then I would rather buy somewhere else." I was about to ask Prince Fraser to find a new store but Mister Fradel immediately stops me.

"Dame Csille, please don't go. I wouldn't insist on giving it for free. You can buy anything at a hundred centimes each."

Is he serious? He wants to sell something worth thousands centimes for a hundred centimes? I know Prince Fraser said he is eccentric but how can he do that? Isn't that almost giving it for free too?

I shake my head. "Mister Fradel, we can only accept a ten percent discount at most but if you insist on giving it to us in a bargain prince, then I ak afraid we will need to find a new store again."

Mister Fradel stares at us with hesitation. It looks like he is determined to give it to us for free but I am also determined not to take it for free.

It took another few minutes before I managed to convince him to sell the furniture on ten percent discount. Mister Fradel looks devastated with what happened but he still sell it to us.

After paying for everything and giving him instructions to where he could send the furniture, Prince Fraser and I went back to the department.

I look outside the window and sigh. I noticed how Prince Fraser was silent ever since Mister Fradel show us his furniture. I also noticed how he stares at me. I couldn't describe his stares but I can definitely read an intense feeling on it. I am just not sure what feeling is that.

Is it anger? Disappointment? Hatred?

I shake my head and glance at Prince Fraser. I found him staring outside of the window beside him. He looks like he is in deep thoughts.

Prince Fraser, what are you thinking right now? Why do you seem so bothered? Is it because of me or Princess Paislee?

I want to ask him questions right now. I wnat to know why he seems nice to Csille today. I want to know why he si staring at me the whole time we were in Mister Fradel's house. I want to know why he is helping.

However, I don't want him to misunderstand things. So, I just kept my mouth shut.

Forget it! I already have too much problem on my plate, why would I need to care about other's problem?

The moment the carriage stops in front of the department's building, I immediately excuse myself from Prince Fraser.

I don't think it is a good idea to be seen with Prince Fraser. I already have a lot of problems going on lately. I don't think I can bear to add on the list.

I was about to check my office when I bumped into Sela. Her eyes immediately widen when she see me. "Dame Csille, where have you been? I have been looking for you everywhere in the building but I couldn't find you."

I smile apologetically at her. "I'm sorry I went out to look for furniture. Is there something wrong, why are you looking for me? Did something happened while I was out?"

Sela shakes her head. "No Dame Csille. Everything is okay in the Foundation. You don't have

to worry about it. I was just looking for yoy because I was worried that we couldn't find a way to fix the furniture. Did you find furniture that could replace the old furniture in the office,

Dame Csille?"

I just smile at her and nod my head. "Yes, I already find one. So, you don't have to worry. But can you do me a favor and wait for the furniture to deliver here?"

Sela immediately agree without complain. While I continue my way to my office to check if we have missed something out. In just an hour or two her majesty will visit the department and everyone should be prepared for it.

I look around my office and nods my head. His majesty did a great job for finding efficient and competent assistants for us. Sela added some details in the design of the office. The details she adds, makes the office more beautiful.

I am sure Sela will definitely be a big help in my work in the department. It is just too bad that I will be the reason why all her works will be in vain.

Because I am the villainess. I smile sadly at myself and check other things in the office. A moment after, Sela arrived with a few men holding the furniture. Sela was the one who instructs the men where to put the furniture. I already told her what I want to do with my office that's why she already takes over it without even asking me.

I just let them do their thing while I read some important documents related to my work in the department. I need to review my contract deal with his majesty and my job description with my work in the department. I just need to make sure that if her majesty ask me questions regarding my work, I can still answer her without worry.

I was too engrossed reading that I didn't noticed that they already put the furniture in place. Sela even clean the office and make sure that everything is pleasant to the eyes.

I look at the clock and my eyes widen when I realize that any minute from now, her majesty will arrive. I hurriedly stand up from my seat and rush to the entrance to welcome her majesty.

I already see all of them standind on the entrance waiting for the Queen. The two Princes are standing beside wach other in front us. While General Abarral and Colonel Randle are standing behind the two Princes.

The two ladies were left at the back. I stand beside Attorney Kirsa, she immediately look back at me and frown but she didn't say anything. Advisor Mallory also looks at me but unlike Attorney Kirsa, she gives me a small smile before she return looking in front.

I didn't mind if the two of them turn cold shoulders towards me. After all, we didn't get the chance to interact with each other before.

I just focus in front too and wait for the Queen. Any minute from now, she will arrive in the department. So, we need to be prepared and make sure we will receive her majesty appropriately.

I was busy looking around searching for a person when I suddenly heard someone speak beside me. I immediately look back and find Leander smiling widely at me

"Are you looking for someone, Dame Csille? Is it okay for me to assume that it was me?"

It is not okay. Why would I even look for you? I was looking for Princess Paislee. Ever since we arrived here yesterday, I haven't seen her shadow and I know it is impossible for Prince Fraser to leave her in the capital. But where is she?

There are some guards around us but I couldn't see Princess Paislee. Where is she?

"I gues, that is a yes?"

I look at Leander and sigh. "Senior, I am sorry to burst your bubble but I was looking for

something else."

I initially plan to be discreet when rejecting him however it seems like it doesn't work on him. So, I decided to use another technique. To be blunt on him. It is better this way so he could stoo whatever feelings he have for Csille as early as possible.

I was expecting to see Leander disappointed with my answer but he just smile at me. He probably expected my answer.

"That is okay. I am sure there will come a time where you will look for me too." Yeah, in his dreams. Does he even knows what he is saying? I am the villainess of this story. Why would I even look for some extra characters?

I didn't respond to him and decided to inch closer to Attorney Kirsa. Hoping this Doctor will

realize that I don't like what he is doing. However, Leander inch closer to me too. In the end, we end up crowding Attorney Kirsa.

Attorney Kirsa probably got irritated with it so she looks at Leander. "Doctor Leander, I know you are a Royal Physician but can you please set aside your flirting with Dame Csille? Can't you see that we are in the middle of waiting for her majesty? Can't you wait or is it more important than the Queen of the Kingdom?"

I look at Attorney Kirsa with horror. Her voice is too loud that all of them stares at us. And

even if she didn't mentioned my name, I know everyone knows it was us.

Great! I already told them that I don't want any issue but what is this? My work haven't even

started in the department yet here I am having issue with Doctor Leander?

I am sure if this reach ny parent's ears it will be the end of me.
