Why Did I Become the Villainess? Chapter 305 - Confess (1)

Rufus shakes his head. "I told you before, right? It's not an easy thing to do. It's too complicated, Csille."

I raised my eyebrow at him. "Too complicated? Or are you the one making it too complicated? Rufus, I don't understand why you are stilly dilly-dallying there. It's as if waiting will result in you having her. You should know more than anyone else that that's not now how it works, Rufus."

"But what do you want to do?"

I rolled my eyes at him. "I want you to confess your feelings to her."

Rufus groans. "And as if confessing is as simple as greeting soone on the street. It's not easy, Csille."

Of course, it will not be easy. You just happened to fall in love with Princess Paislee. The Princess Paislee who will end up falling in love with Prince Fraser.

I try to hold Rufus' hand that is resting on the table. "Rufus, I know confessing is a difficult thing to do. There's half a chance that she'll end up rejecting you. There's also half a chance that she'll reciprocate your feelings. So, I understand where is this hesitancy is coming from. However, if you will continue to sit there and wait there, nothing will happen. Rember this, Rufus. There is no right mont when it cos to love. It's either you grab the chance or lose it. So, what is your choice? Would you rather lose her?"

Please say no. Please say no. This is one of the crucial monts in the novel. So, I need to make sure that Rufus will definitely do his part. To try to confess his feelings for Princess Paislee.

Rufus got silent for a mont before he sighed and shook his head. "I don't want to lose her, Csille. I can compromise with other things, not her."

I smiled when I heard Rufus' answer. Now all that is left to do is to follow the script. Because Csille and Rufus are close friends, she will help Rufus confess his feelings to the girl without her knowing that it was Sir Farren he was talking about.

"But purplany, how can I do that? How can I confess my feelings to her?"

Csille look at Rufus and wink. "Let handle that. All you need to do is bring her to the place that I will ntion to you. Also, prepare your confession speech."

Rufus frowns and just stares at . As if what I said just now is sothing foreign to him. "What? Why are you looking at like that?"

"Why do I need to bring her to the place you will ntion? And what is a confession speech?"

Oh, I forgot. People in here don't do extravagant things when confessing. They just confess, and that's it. No extravagant dates and decorations, unlike in the real world.

"Rufus, confessing is once in a lifeti. Who knows, she might end up your wife. So, why not make the most of your confession, right? I will decorate the place for a romantic dinner date. While you, on the other hand, will prepare your confession speech. Confession speech is basically your confession, but unlike those one-liner 'I like you', make it more poetic. Ladies like it when a gentleman shows how he loves her. Make a poem or sing her a song. ntion why you like her and whatnots. Just don't straightforwardly say you like her."

Rufus frowns but still listens to my suggestions. "Do you really think this will work? Isn't this a bit extravagant for a confession? Can't I just say I like you to her in the most natural way?"

I rolled my eyes. I don't understand why people in this ti doesn't have an ounce of sweet bone. What's so wrong with confessing in this way? Isn't that romantic to see a guy confess to you in this way?

"No, that's too boring. I told you ladies like to feel they were loved and appreciated by a gentleman. So, don't worry about it. I will make sure that at the end of the day, she'll reciprocate your feelings."

I smile reassuringly at him. Although deep inside, I feel sorry for him.

I'm sorry, Rufus. I'm sorry if I'm pushing you to confess to Princess Paislee, even if I know you'll just end up being hurt. I'm sorry also for making you hope that things will go how you expect them. I'm really sorry. I hope you can forgive in the future.

"Good morning, my dear." Mother imdiately greets when I walk inside the dining area. She then looks at my clothing. "Why are you wearing that today? Aren't you going to the Foundation?"

I shake my head at Mother. I am currently wearing black trousers and a simple long sleeves with a vest. I didn't wear a dress because I'll be doing a lot of things today so I want to wear sothing that I can move freely.

"No, Mother. I have sothing to do today, and I need to move around. That's why I decided not to wear a dress today. So, it'll be convenient for . Is my clothing weird?"

It's rare to see a lady wearing a trouser and a long sleeve instead of a dress. Especially the noblewoman. That's why I want to know if it looks weird on or not.

Mother shakes her head. "Of course not. You still look wonderful, my dear."

Father, who is enjoying his cup of tea, suddenly speaks, "You always look wonderful with everything you wear, Csille."

I look at Father and smile at him. "Thank you. I know you will say that." I laugh. "Good morning, Father."

He smiles at in return and gently caresses my head. "You should eat your breakfast now. Where are you going today?"

I shake my head. I just grab a sandwich and take a bite on it before I answer him. "I don't have ti for breakfast, Father. I need to go now, or else Prince Rufus will be mad at already."

I was about to go out with a sandwich in the mount when Mother suddenly stopped . "You are eting with his highness, Prince Rufus?"

I look back and nod my head. "Yes, he asked for help today, and I say yes. Why? Is there sothing wrong with that?"

Mother and Father look at each other before they shake their heads. "My dear, you still know that Prince Rufus and Prince Fraser haven't reconciled, right? Are you sure it is okay for you to see him?"

I shrugged my shoulder. What does the matter between the two cousins have to do with ? "Mother, I am just helping him. Rufus was there when he needed the most. I think it will not be right if I won't help him. Also, the matter between Prince Fraser and Prince Rufus are theirs. So, let them deal with their own problems. I'm sure they will eventually reconcile with each other. After all, they are cousins."

Before they could respond, I imdiately excused myself and got out of our house. I was lying to my parents when I said I would be seeing Rufus. He will be busy inviting Princess Paislee while I am preparing the place. I just said to my parents that I would be seeing him, so they would not ask too many questions.

The carriage stops in front of a garden restaurant that was recently opened. I heard from Rufus that Princess Paislee loves to go here for lunch. So, I think it's the right place for her. Although I know that this day will end as a disaster. I still want to do my part.

One of the waitresses imdiately recognized the Lauretré carriage, so she imdiately greeted . "Da Csille, you're finally here. We have prepared everything you have requested last night. Co inside and see if it suits your taste."

The waitress imdiately led to the end of the garden restaurant. It is the best spot in this restaurant because you can see the lake in front.

"Have you prepared the floating lantern I have asked you? I want this lake to be full of floating lantern tonight."

I can already envision how this will look like at night. Too bad things will not be what we expected. But at least Rufus can enjoy this sight tonight. I just hope he will feel better when he sees it.

"Yes, Da Csille. We have already prepared the floating lantern. Do you want to check the nu? We have already prepared food for you to taste. And about the decora—"

I look at the waitress and smile at her. "I'll be checking the nu first. Leave the decorations to . Have you prepared all the things I will be using for the decorations?"

The waitress nods her head. "Yes, Da. Everything is prepared as per your request. The food is already prepared. Please follow , Da Csille."

I look back at the lake and sigh. This day will definitely be a long night. Not just for but also for Rufus.

________________________________

I look around, trying to find soone I can ask where Rufus is. I am currently in the office where Rufus works. However, I couldn't find where that guy was.

I tried to look for him in his office, but no one was there. It seems like he is still not here. But I really need to talk to him now. I forgot to ask him so things regarding the confession tonight. Although I know that my efforts will be wasted, I still want to do what I promised to do.

"Where is that, Rufus? I still need to ask him about his confession. I need to make sure he made a confession spee—"

I wasn't able to continue my words when I bumped into soone. I wasn't looking in front of because my eyes were busy scanning the surrounding.

I was about to apologize to the person, but my words got stuck in my throat when I heard his voice.

"Confession? Who is confessing?"

I imdiately look up and find Prince Fraser looking at intently. It's as if he wants to read what is on my mind.

What is happening? Why is he here? Rufus is the one whom he should bump into. Why did it beco ?

"I am asking you a question. Who is confessing to who?"

I blink my eyes a couple of tis. Still trying to process what is happening. Why is this happening? He should be bumping into Rufus and not .

This is against the story! I need to get out of here imdiately, or else I might ruin the storyline.

I broke from Prince Fraser's hold and tried to escape, but Prince Fraser caught my arms. "Where are you going, Csille? I am asking you a question. Don't you know it's rude not to answer soone if they are asking?"

Rude your face. Do you think I would care about that? The last ti I stray from the storyline, I lose my voice. I don't want to risk anymore.

I try to break from Prince Fraser's hold, but every ti I will do, he keeps tightening his grasp. I look back at him and smile awkwardly.

"Your highness, please forgive , but I have important matters to attend today. So, can you please let go? There's a lot of people who are already looking at us."

Prince Fraser looks around, but he is still holding my arms. He then guides sowhere else. It looks like an office, but I don't know whose office is this.

I nervously look at him. "Your highness, I really have an urgent matter to attend to today. Can you please let off?"

Prince Fraser looks back at . "I will only let you off if you will tell who is confessing and to whom? Also, please don't lie to , Csille. I know you took a day off today. So, how co you have sothing urgent to do? Are you just making excuses?"

I almost groaned when I heard what he said. How co he knows that I took a day off? I thought he doesn't care about Csille anymore?

I heave a sigh. Forget it. Why does it matter if he knows or not? At the end of the day, he'll still end up with the female lead.

"Your highness, please forgive , but I don't understand what you are asking. Confessing? Who is confessing?"

Prince Fraser frowns. It looks like he got mad because of my response. "Csille Lauretré, I am giving you one chance. Who will confess and to whom?"

That's it. He already ntioned my full na. In the novel, when a character ntions soone's full na, it only ans one thing, he is enraged.

But telling the truth is against the storyline. What should I do?
