I didn't realize how ti flies. I didn't even realize I have fallen asleep while crying. When I open my eyes, I have a massive headache. I can also feel my eyes are swollen from crying too much.
I put my ears on the door to check if Prince Fraser is still inside the room. But I didn't hear any sound outside. I sigh and slowly open the door. I peek around the surroundings first, trying to see if Prince Fraser is around or if there is soone inside the room. I sighed in relief when I didn't find soone.
I looked outside the window and realized that I have slept for quite a long ti because it is starting to get dark outside. I imdiately took my things and went back ho.
I cannot go ho late because the threat of the Strzalka is still around. I don't know when and where they will attack again, so to be safe, I need to get ho before it gets dark.
I walk past the garden, and I smile sadly when I find the striped carnation again.
I'm sorry, Prince Fraser, because I cannot be with you.
I arrived at the residence before the sun sets. It's a good thing that sothing didn't happen to .
I frowned when I didn't see anyone on the first floor. Aside from the maids. Where are they? Shouldn't they get ho by now?
I am about to enter my room when I heard soone call my na. I sighed when I realized the person who called . I thought it's Prince Fraser. It's a good thing it's Princess Paislee. I look back. "Sir Farren, do you need anything?"
Princess Paislee looks at from head to toe. She then stares at my eyes. "Did you cry, Lady Csille?"
I imdiately touched my swollen eyes. How can I forget about it? I walk around the Saiven street with my swollen eyes? What would people say?
I shake my head at Princess Paislee. I cannot let her know that I was crying. I need to find an excuse. "It's because of the fever. I didn't get enough sleep last night." I scoff. "Why would I even cry?"
Princess Paislee stares at intently for a couple of minutes before she sighs. "Can I talk to you, Lady Csille?"
I imdiately raised my eyebrow at her. Can they give a break? I just had a breakdown, and the female lead wants to talk to now? What does she want? Prince Fraser? She can have him for all she wants. Just give a break.
"Is there sothing we need to talk about, Sir Farren? As far as I know, everything's okay right?"
Princess Paislee looks around first before she looks at . "I really need to talk about sothing important, Lady Csille. Can I have a spare of your ti?"
Can she read between the lines? I'm tired. I just want to rest and cry until I fall asleep again. I don't want to talk to anyone right now. My mind is pretty clouded, and my heart is hurting.
I sigh. "I'm sorry, Sir Farren. I don't want to be rude. However, I'm really exhausted right now. Can we talk another ti?"
I look at her back. Princess Paislee and Prince Fraser are always together. If Princess Paislee is in the residence, I'm sure Prince Fraser is inside the residence too. And I cannot let him see like this.
Princess Paislee sigh. "Lady Csille, you're making a huge mistake."
I frown. What mistake is she talking about? What did I do again? "What do you an, Sir Farren? What mistake?"
Princess Paislee looks around first before answering . "Lady Csille, can we talk about this inside? I don't think it's appropriate to talk about this here." She keeps looking around her.
I sigh. I guess I have no choice but to let her in. I got really curious about what she said. What mistake?
I open the door and let her in. "I hope this won't last long, Sir Farren. You know how this is inappropriate to other people's eyes."
Sir Farren bows his head. "Lady Csille, rest assured I am loyal to the Crown Prince. How can I dare to do sothing to his fiancée?"
I almost want to laugh at Princess Paislee. Yes, you are loyal to the Crown Prince because she is your love interest. But the loyalty she is talking about is different than the loyalty I am thinking.
I gesture my hand on an empty seat while I sit on my bed. "Tell about this mistake. What do you an by that, Sir Farren?"
Princess Paislee sigh. "I'm sorry, Lady Csille. I might sound like I am putting my nose in your lives. However, I cannot just watch on the sideline. What you are doing is definitely a mistake."
I scoff. "Sir Farren, I don't understand. What do you an by mistake? What mistake are you referring to?"
"You, having a fight with Prince Fraser."
I nod my head at Princess Paislee. I couldn't help but smile. "Fight? I'm sorry, but I think you are mistaken, Sir Farren."
Who said I just have a fight with Prince Fraser? I want to laugh at her.
Princess Paislee frowns at . "What do you an I am mistaken? I am definitely sure that you had a fight with Prince Fraser. Both of you are avoiding each other just like before. If you are not fighting. Then why do you do that?"
I shrugged my shoulders at her. "I broke up with him. So, you're definitely mistaken. We didn't fight. We broke up."
Princess Paislee almost falls on her seat because of what she heard. "I'm sorry, Lady Csille. But I think I heard things wrong. What did you say?"
I don't know if I should laugh or frown at her. Why does she look like she just heard an unbelievable news? Is that too shocking? "I said, I broke up with Prince Fraser."
After saying those words, Princess Paislee falls on the floor this ti. She looks at with disbelief on her face. "But why? Why would you break up with him? That's a mistake! You're definitely making a huge mistake, Lady Csille!" She snaps at .
She imdiately stands up and sits beside . She then holds my shoulders on both of her hands and slightly shakes . "Lady Csille, you are making a huge mistake. Why did you break up with Prince Fraser? You need to get back with him."
I tried to break from Princess Paislee's hold, but she won't let . I don't understand why she is so worked up. Why is she so affected by my breakup with Prince Fraser?
I let her calm down a bit before I ask her a question. "Sir Farren, I don't understand why you would be so affected like this? Why? Why do you sound like you're so disappointed with what happened?"
Princess Paislee froze on the spot. She just stares at for a couple of minutes before she sighs. She then takes her hand away from . "I'm sorry. I was just carried away. Please, punish for my indecent behavior." Princess Paislee kneels down on .
I sigh. How can I let a Crown Princess kneels in front of ? I am just the daughter of the Count. I don't think it's right for her to do that.
I imdiately ask her to stand up. "I understand you. Please stand up, Sir Farren. You don't need to kneel in front of ."
Princess Paislee hesitantly stands up and sits on the chair she was sitting before. I let her calm herself first before I ask him the question I've been dying to ask.
"Sir Farren, can you explain to why you are so affected by my break up with Prince Fraser? I just don't expect you will be this worked up."
Princess Paislee tried to avoid my gaze. She then sighs. "I'm just concerned, Lady Csille. I am the personal knight of the Crown Prince, and anything concern about him will be my concern too. Did you see how Prince Fraser acts these days? You should see how he always looks so preoccupied. He also doesn't have much energy, unlike before. I sotis see him staring in thin air and sulking. Do you expect not to care, Lady Csille?"
I nod my head. It seems reasonable. However, I don't understand why would she likes to ship Prince Fraser with . Like hello, she is the female lead here. Why would she matchmake her love interest with ? The Villainess.
"But what do you an by mistake?"
I still don't understand what mistake she is talking about. I am sure I'm not making any mistakes right now. I'm even sacrificing a lot of things here. How can it be a mistake?
Princess Paislee sigh. "The King and the Count have a deal with each other. Going against the deal is definitely a mistake. Can you dare to disobey his highness, the King? You do know what's the punishnt to those people who disobey the King, right?"
I sigh. Why do people always think that I will be the one who will cancel my engagent with Prince Fraser? Well, in fact, he is the one who will cancel it.
I suddenly rember the dream. I had last night.
"Mother, please grant my wish."
"Son, I know you love soone else, but what about Csille? What will we say to the Count if you cancel the engagent?"
"Mother, if we push this engagent. I will only hurt Csille. I don't want her to hope for sothing I couldn't give. I don't love her..."
I'm pretty sure I am not the one who will cancel the engagent, but why am I the one who needs to explain things to people?
I sigh. "I didn't cancel our engagent. So, I don't understand why are you saying I am disobeying the King?"
"Lady Csille, breaking up with Prince Fraser also ans breaking off the engagent."
I shake my head repeatedly. "No, it doesn't equate to that. I only break up with Prince Fraser, but I didn't say I will be canceling our engagent. That's two different things, Sir Farren. You can assure that I will not disobey the King no matter what."
Princess Paislee stares at for a couple of minutes before she sighs. "However, you break up with Prince Fraser, right?"
"And so? What does it have to do with that?"
"Lady Csille, wouldn't your breakup to Prince Fraser would be useless if the engagent is still valid?"
I shake my head at Princess Paislee. I understand what she is trying to say. "But have you also forgotten that our engagent is still not official?"
Princess Paislee is about to refute, but I imdiately cut her off. "Also, I don't think it will be useless. Why would it be useless? I am talking about the present ti, Sir Farren. I want to break up with him right now. And about the future? We will see what will happen. Who knows what the future holds? So, I don't understand why we are talking about the future now. Leave the future behind. What we are facing now is the present. So, let's focus on the present for now," I shrugged my shoulders at her.
Princess Paislee looks like she wants to say sothing to , but she is hesitating. She then shakes her head. "I just hope you can consider the feelings of Prince Fraser, Lady Csille. He was badly hurt because of what you did. You should see-"
"But did you asked how I am doing? I know you are loyal to Prince Fraser. However, please be considerate with your words Sir Farren. Please be considerate of my feelings." I take a deep breath. "I respect you for being loyal to Prince Fraser. But please respect my decision, Sir Farren. Prince Fraser respects my decision and didn't force . Can you do that too?"
Princess Paislee nods her head and stands up. She then bows her head at . "I'm sorry if my words went overboard. I'm sorry, Lady Csille. I didn't an to be insensitive of your own feelings." She looks up at with a sorry expression. "I'll be going now, Lady Csille. Thank you for giving so ti."
I stand up. I plan to walk her out of my room, but Princess Paislee stops . I just watch her get out of my room. She then closes it for .
I sigh. When will Princess Paislee fall in love with Prince Fraser? I need them to fall in love with each other. So, I can stop myself from falling in love with Prince Fraser.
