"Da Csille, I hope you had a great ti here, and I hope you can visit again so other ti. That if it's okay with you."
One al turns to nurous visits. Just like how I have written. After this one al, Mister Sewell will continue to have a connection with Csille. He will then try to gain her trust so she will agree with their plan. He will use Csille's weakness to make things in favor of him.
I smile at him. "Thank you for inviting here. I did enjoy the al and the place. But a second visit will depend on my schedule. Although I still also hope I could have another chance to go here."
I know I will visit him, but I still need to keep my distance. In my novel, Csille is still on guard against Mister Sewell, and I need to follow that. Mister Sewell looked relieved when he heard I still wanted to visit the place. He smiles at widely. "You are always welco to co here. I'll just send you a letter to ask for an update. So, you don't have to worry about how to communicate with ." I nod my head. It's a good thing he said that. I was worried I wouldn't be able to communicate with him. "I'll be troubling you then."
Mister Sewell smile at before he looks at Allan. He's one of the two guards who were with Mister Sewell on the day we t. "Allan, can you please prepare the carriage and drop Da Csille to the Foundation. Make sure that no one will see you. We don't want to trouble Da Csille."
Allan nods his head and imdiately go prepared the carriage. A mont after, a carriage stops in front of . But unlike the plain carriage they use this morning, the carriage in front of us looks like a carriage that you can hire. Mister Sewell opens the door for and gestures his hand inside. "I know it will beco suspicious if anyone finds you enter the carriage this morning. So, to avoid you from having any issues, I decided to use this one. I hope you didn't mind."
He really plans it all. From the letter, to the carriage, to the house and such. Everything is well thought. This Mister Sewell is really not as simple as he portrays.
I shake my head. "How can I mind? I know you are only doing this for my safety, and I really appreciate that, Mister Sewell. I apologize for troubling you." I bow my head at him as a thank you and get inside the carriage. "Thank you."
Mister Sewell just smiles at before he reminds Allan to be careful and make sure nothing will trouble . After making sure that everything was settled, Mister Sewell ordered Allan to start the carriage already.
The carriage makes its way through the woods while I look outside my window. Contemplating on what I will do next. The story is progressing at a speed that I didn't expect. I need to prepare things on my end now if I still want to save all the people that are important to .
Ti is ticking. I need to make a move now.
________________________________
I just step out of the carriage when Lilla cos rushing towards . "Da Csille! Da Csille, you are finally here. I thought I needed to look for you everywhere."
I frowned when I noticed the sense of urgency in Lilla's voice. I hold Lilla's hand to keep her in place. She's been walking around, probably because she is panicking. She then looks at with panic in her eyes. "Shhh. What happening? Why do you look so anxious? Did sothing happen while I was gone?"
Lilla nods her head vigorously. "Yes, Da Csille. It's a good thing you have returned already, or else I don't know how to deal with those Princes. Also, I was afraid I might blurt out that you have received a threatening letter early this morning." Lilla held my hand tightly. "Where have you been to, Da Csille? I hope nothing happened to you. I was worried the whole ti you were gon—"
I hold Lilla's shoulder. "Lilla, calm down. I'm sorry if I returned just now. I was busy doing sothing important." I frown when I rember what she said. Princes? "And what did you say just now? That you don't know how to deal with those Princes? Who are the Princes you are talking about?"
Lilla's eyes widened. She then pulls my hand towards the Foundation. "Da Csille, his highness, Prince Fraser, Prince Rufus and Prince Joachim are currently in the Foundation. They have been waiting for you for half an hour now."
My eyes widened when I heard what Lilla said. What? Those three Princes are here? But what is their purpose of coming to the Foundation? Also, how co Rufus can control his temper around Prince Fraser? I thought he couldn't help but feel angry every ti he saw Prince Fraser?
I look at Lilla. I can now understand why she is panicking because I can also feel myself starting to panic now. "Lilla, did they ntion what's the purpose of their visit here?"
Why do I feel like sothing terrible will happen? Every ti I felt that sothing terrible would happen, I was often right. Lilla shakes her head. "I'm sorry, Da Csille, but I forgot to ask them. I was too anxious about thinking of a way to find you that it slipped my mind to ask them of their purpose. But I think it is sothing important because I'm sure they wouldn't wait for you for an hour if it's not important."
I nod my head. She is right, though. Prince Fraser always put importance with his ti. He doesn't like to waste it on useless things. But if it's the case, what is this important thing, and why am I involved in this? I feel Lilla tugs my hand. "Da Csille, I think it's best for you to co inside already. You know it's never good to make the royalties wait, right? They have been waiting for you for half an hour now."
Half an hour? With Prince Fraser's temper? That's really not a good thing. I imdiately walk inside the Foundation. I looked around, but I couldn't find the three Princes. I look back at Lilla. "Where are they?"
Lilla takes a deep breath first before she answers . "I made them wait in one of the guests rooms on the second floor. I originally planned to make them wait in your office, but then I rembered how many docunts were scattered around. That's why I decided to just use one of our guests rooms. Mairenn and Cairistine are with them."
I nod my head. It's a good thing Lilla made them wait in one of our guests rooms. My office is a ss right now, and I don't think those Princes will appreciate that kind of environnt.
"Thank you for taking care of them while I was gone. How are they doing? Are they mad? Did they ask questions?"
Lilla shakes her head. "It is part of my responsibility to take care of your guests while you are away. So, you don't have to thank , Da Csille. As for your question, Mairenn is making sure that the three Princes will be entertained. Also, I'm not sure if they are mad. I think they are only upset for waiting, but mad will be an overstatent. And yes, they ask questions about you. Where are you, what are you doing, when are you coming back, and such. It was Prince Rufus and Prince Joachim who asked most of the questions."
Lilla starts to show where the three Princes are staying while answering my question. I smiled bitterly when I heard Lilla's answer. What can I expect from Prince Fraser? Of course, he won't ask anything about . He despised , so why would he bother asking questions? I heave a sigh and follow Lilla behind. I didn't say anything or ask questions. I don't think I still want to know other things after what I heard from Lilla. I just remain quiet and walk behind her.
A mont after, we stopped in one of the biggest guests room in the Foundation. Lilla thinks it through. She knows it isn't right to put them into regular guests rooms because it will be too small for them.
Aside from rooms for the employees, I also made rooms for guests. In case so donors would want to stay here. There are donors from outside the Kingdom. Although they are only few, I still want to repay them for the help they give to the Foundation.
Lilla opened the door, and I was imdiately greeted by Cairistine. She rushes to for a hug which I gladly return. "Da Csille, you are back! His Highness, Prince Fraser is here to see you."
Prince Fraser is here to see ? I don't think that's the case. I'm sure he didn't have any choice but co here because he never once visited after we returned from the northern region. He will only do that if it's sothing important, but to check on ? That is beyond impossible. But because I don't want to disappoint Cairistine, I just gently caress her head and smile at her. "Thank you for informing , my dear. Where are they?"
Cairistine holds my hand and pulls towards the mini receiving area. The guests rooms are not just a simple bedroom and a bathroom. It has a receiving area, a mini kitchen and dining area, a bedroom with a luxurious bathroom, and a library where you can relax. It is to make sure the visitors will be comfortable with their stay. I ensure that everyone who will stay in the Foundation will have received the best service. "Mother! Mother, Da Csille is already here!" Cairistine shouts the mont we step inside the receiving area.
Mairenn, who was standing on the side, imdiately widened her eyes and shook her head. "Cairistine, how many tis will I tell you that shouldn't shout. That's not how a young lady should act." Cairistine imdiately bowed her head when she got scolded by her mother. Mairenn heaves a sigh and looks at . "Da Csille, I apologize for my daughter's behavior. I would teach her well this ti." She then takes her daughter away from before she looks at the three Princes who are watching the scenes unfold. "Your highness. Prince Fraser, Prince Rufus, and Prince Joachim, I also apologize for my daughter's behavior." She bows her head. "I will be taking my leave then."
Mairenn urges Cairistine to apologize to the Princes first before she brings her daughter out of the guests room. Lilla follows them behind. Leaving alone with the three Princes and Princess Paislee. I smile awkwardly at them before I do a curtsy. "I apologize for making you wait. I was busy doing work outside. I hope you all understand." I was expecting Rufus or Prince Joachim to say sothing first, but I was shocked when Prince Fraser stood up and walked towards . I look at Rufus, who is still sitting on the sideline. Hoping he would do sothing to stop Prince Fraser from walking towards , but he just sat there and avoided my eyes.
I look at Prince Fraser, who is now standing a few steps from . "Da Csille, where have you been? We have been waiting for you for half an hour already." He said calmly with his expressionless face.
I heave a sigh. I didn't expect he would talk to in a calm way. Knowing his temper? I was expecting he would imdiately snap at . "Your highness, I apologize for making you wait. As what I have said, I was busy with things, that's why I just arrived now."
Prince Fraser frowns. He then takes another step forward, reducing the distance between us. "And by things you an? Your employee didn't say any specific. So, I wanted to know where does Csille Lauretré went?" He said while looking intently at . What's happening? Why does Prince Fraser sound like he is concerned about ? And he even used my full na. It's the first I heard him say my na like that because he usually calls Da Csille. "Csille, I am asking you a question. Care to answer ?"
