Why Did I Become the Villainess? Chapter 308 - Unexpected Outcome

With Princess Paislee?

What is she doing here? She is supposed to decline Rufus' invitation, so why is she here? I don't understand what is happening.

I thought this would be a devastating night for Rufus. However, why did it suddenly becos a devastating night for ?

I look at Rufus and Princess Paislee walking towards the prepared romantic table. I can see that Rufus is already anxious while Princess Paislee isn't even bothered looking at the romantic decoration.

I just stare at them for a couple of minutes. Trying to process things. This is not supposed to happen. Rufus is supposed to spend the night alone, but what is happening?

My eyes widened when I realized sothing. This is against the storyline. It ans I need to stop this if I want to keep everyone safe.

I was about to get out of where I was hiding when soone suddenly grabbed my arms and covered my mouth. That person then starts to drag out of the restaurant and force to go inside a carriage.

I couldn't see the face of the person because he made sure that I couldn't turn my head to him. I am sure it's a man because of his built and attention.

I wasn't able to protest when the carriage started to move away from the restaurant because he was still covering my mouth. He only let go of it when he was sure that we were far away from the restaurant.

I was about to scold the person, but all my words got stuck in my throat when I realized who the person was.

"Prince Fraser?"

What is happening here? First, Princess Paislee cos with Rufus to the garden restaurant, and now Prince Fraser drags out of the restaurant?

"What are you doing here, your highness? I—"

I tried to say sothing, but my mind couldn't think of anything to say. It still couldn't process what is currently happening.

I don't understand why he is here and why did he drag instead of Princess Paislee.

Prince Fraser raised his eyebrow at . "You're really asking that question? Shouldn't I be the one that is supposed to ask that? What are you doing there, Csille? What? Do you want to see how devastated Rufus is?"

I look at Prince Fraser, confusion is clearly written on my face. How did he know that I was here for that? Although what he said is not entirely true. I am in the restaurant because I want to comfort Rufus and not because I want to see how devastated he is.

"Pardon you're highness, but I don't seem to understand what you want to say. Why would I want to see Rufus devastated? He is my friend. Why would I want that?"

Prince Fraser stares intently into my eyes. I stare at him in return. I want him to see that I am not doing anything wrong here. However, I was shocked when I saw a hint of anger in his eyes.

Why is he angry again? Is it because of ? But what did I do this ti? Does he know I help Rufus set up a dinner date for Princess Paislee? However, if that is the case, why am I the one he drags outside instead of Princess Paislee?

There are a lot of things that I don't understand right now. All I know is this is definitely against the storyline.

I heard Prince Rufus laughs, but it's the kind of laugh that is taunting. "And you're still acting like you don't know anything? Do you think I'm stupid, Csille?"

I frown. What does he an? I am acting? Why would I act? "Your highness, I don't understand what you are saying. I am not acting or pretending not to know anything because I really don't know anything. I don't understand what you are saying so can you please enlighten so I will know how to reply to you. Also, I am not thinking you're stupid. How can I think of you like that? If you're stupid, then who can be intelligent in the whole Kingdom?"

Prince Fraser glares at for a couple of seconds before he looks outside the window beside .

I just look at him, bewildered by what is happening. Did he just ignore my question?

"Your highness, I don't really understand what you are saying. So can you please expl—"

I wasn't able to continue what I was saying when he suddenly looked at . "I already warned you, right? Why didn't you listen to ? Look what happened now."

He then returned to looking outside the window. I look at him. What did he say? He warned ? With what? And how can I know what is happening if he wouldn't explain to what is happening?

I tried to ask him again, but he just ignored . It's as if he couldn't hear my questions. So, I just end up leaning my head on the window while thinking about what is happening.

This guy! He drags out of the restaurant, but he doesn't want to explain to why he did that? He's really infuriating.

A mont after, the carriage stops in front of our house. I look at Prince Fraser, who is still avoiding looking at .

Forget it! If he doesn't want to talk, then I won't force him. I get off the carriage and walk inside the house without even saying thank you to him.

Why would I? He just drags out of the restaurant out of my own will, and when I ask him what he is happening, he just ignores ? So, why would I say thank you to him?

"My dear, is that Prince Fraser who send you ho? We have seen his silhouette inside the carriage. Did he treat you—"

I kiss mother's cheeks and smile reassuringly at her. "Mother, I'm exhausted today. Can we just talk tomorrow?"

I didn't wait for her to reply and just went straight to my room. I need so ti to think. I need to process what just happened today.

I slump my body on my bed and sigh. "What is happening? Why did things progress to that? And why does Prince Fraser doesn't look like he is bothered by the fact Princess Paislee is with Rufus. Instead, he looks mad at . What did I do this ti?"

I roll on my bed out of frustration. I don't know what to do anymore. Why does it seems like things are always getting out of hand?

What am I supposed to do now?

________________________________

I look at the clock on the wall and sigh. I was too engrossed with working that I didn't even realize that it was already lunchti.

I stopped reading the docunts and slumped my body on my chair. I didn't get much sleep last night because I keep thinking about what happened yesterday. I will be lying if I say I wasn't frightened. The last ti I didn't follow the script, I almost lost my voice. I'm afraid that sothing might happen to again and to this world.

I really don't understand why things are getting out of hand, and the worst thing about this is I don't even know what to do to fix everything.

I ss my hair out of frustration and slump my head on my table. My head hurts from too much thinking already, but I still haven't thought of a solution to solve this problem.

"You look so frustrated right now. Is there a problem?"

I was startled when I heard soone speak in front of . I look up and find Rufus standing in my doorway. I look at him intently, trying to see if his eyes are red from crying, but he looks okay. He doesn't look like he is hurting or sothing.

What could have happened last night? He doesn't look like he is heartbroken, which is supposed to happen.

I heard Rufus chuckle. "Do you need to look at like that? You look… surprised. Is there sothing you should be surprised of?"

Although I heard what Rufus said, my mind couldn't process what he said. I just look at him blankly.

Rufus walked towards and snapped his fingers in front of my face. "Purplany, are you okay? Is there sothing I should be worried about?"

I blink a couple of tis before I look at him. Rufus looks so concerned about . I can clearly see the worry in his eyes.

I shake my head at him and heave a sigh. "No, I just didn't expect you would be here. After all last night you…" I didn't continue my words because I was worried that he wouldn't like to talk about it. Although I have seen him with Princess Paislee, I still don't know the whole story.

Rufus raised his eyebrow at . "You always tell that I am a nosy person but look at you right now." He then laughs for a couple of seconds before he gently taps my head. "You want to ask what happened last night?"

I nod my head. I know there is no use hiding from Rufus. He already knows what I want to ask.

Rufus sits on the chair in front of my table. "I ssed up, purplany."

I frown. What does he an he ssed up? Doesn't he manage to bring Princess Paislee with him? So how co he said he ssed up? That's definitely not a ss.

"What do you an, Rufus? Did our plan fail? Did she refuse to co with you?"

Rufus shakes his head. "No, purplany. I managed to invite her to a dinner date, and she agreed. She even stayed with for hours last night."

My eyes widen for a few seconds. Princess Paislee stays with him for hours? But why would she do that? As far as I rember, she should still be aloof to Rufus because she is afraid that her secret might be known to him. So, how co she decided to stay with Rufus for hours. That doesn't make sense at all.

"But how co you say it's a ss if you were able to bring her to the garden restaurant? Don't tell …" I pretended to be shocked. "She turned you down? The great Prince Rufus Astalieu was rejected by a wo—"

I hear Rufus heave a sigh. "I don't know if that is worst or the fact that I wasn't able to confess to her."

I knew it! I knew that there was sothing odd last night. When Princess Paislee looks at the decoration nonchalantly, I know sothing is not right. Also, I know that it is impossible to happen because if Rufus managed to confess to Princess Paislee, that ans her secret has been compromised. And I'm sure if that happens, she will run away from the Vrawyth Kingdom.

I should be still thankful then that Rufus hesitated to confess to Princess Paislee. However, there is still one thing I don't understand. How did he manage to invite Princess Paislee? Knowing her personality? She doesn't want to get her sight away from Prince Fraser. That how dedicated she is to her work as a knight.

I pretended to be shocked and disappointed. "Rufus! That is your chance. Why did you let it pass again? You already managed to bring her to the restaurant. All you need to do is to confess your feelings to her. Why didn't you do that?"

Rufus sigh. "I'm sorry, purplany."

I hold Rufus' hand that is resting on my table. I don't feel frustrated at all. In fact, I felt relieved because I knew Princess Paislee still had a reason to stay in the Vrawyth Kingdom.

"Rufus, you don't have to be sorry. I know it's never easy to confess your feelings to soone. I just feel—"

"No, Csille. That is not the reason why I am saying sorry."

I frowned when I heard his response. What does he an by that? I thought he was sorry because I was disappointed with what he did. But if it's not the reason, then why is he apologizing to ?

"What do you an, Rufus?"

Rufus held my hand tightly. He then looks at straight into my eyes. "Because I used you as a reason."

I just look at him, confusion is visible on my face. He used as a reason? What does he an?
