Silence envelopes the place while I look at Godfather with horror. I was initially happy because he was considering to support the Vrawyth Kingdom again, but I didn't expect he would ask Prince Fraser to marry .
I look at Prince Fraser, who becos frigid because of what Ruler Laird said. I repeatedly shake my head at him. Hoping he will understand that it is not my plan.
I may still have lingering feelings for him, but I would never do that. Forcing soone to marry ? That is not my thing. Also, why would I ever dare take the male lead from the female lead if I was the one who created them?
But it seems like Prince Fraser doesn't notice my reluctance. He then heaves a sigh and looks at Ruler Laird. "Great Ruler, I know what I did to Da Csille is sothing not right, and I would understand if you will be mad at . However, I am already decided, and I cannot take back my words now. I don't love Da Csille, and I am saving both our tis by doing this. So, I hope you could understand that I can't do what you want. Can you just ask sothing else?"
Ruler Laird scoffs. "The reason why we decided to support the Vrawyth Kingdom is because of my Goddaughter. So, why would I support your Kingdom if you were the reason why she is in pain right now? Can I still be considered her Godfather if I do that?"
Prince Fraser stares at Ruler Laird. "Great Ruler, I hope you can reconsider things. You know how dangerous the situation of the Vrawyth Kingdom is right now. If we lose the two of you, it will be difficult for us after. Not only the whole Vrawyth Kingdom will be in danger even the Lauretré family might be involved. So, I hope you can reconsider things, Great Ruler. If you want to punish for what I did, I will accept it. But please don't involve anyone in it."
Ruler Laird scoffed. "You want not to involve other people here? Yet, you decided to humiliate my Goddaughter in front of everyone? I would understand your sentints right now if you only didn't decide to break your engagent with Csille in public. However, you didn't even care about her feelings, so why would I care about you or the Vrawyth people? Who are they to ?"
I felt my hand tremble when I heard what Godfather said. This shouldn't happen. If this continues, I'm afraid it will be impossible for to make Godfather support the Vrawyth Kingdom again.
"Godfather, can you do it for then? I-" The words that I wanted to say were imdiately interrupted by him.
He gently caresses my head. "Csille, don't try to save Prince Fraser. Principal Germund and I were already decided, and we won't be taking back our decision unless Prince Fraser decides to marry you." He then looks at Principal Germund, who is just watching what is happening. "I think this conversation should end." He stands up and looks at Prince Fraser and . "The two of you can leave now. Principal Germund and I need to take a rest already.
I abruptly stand up. I was about to hold Godfather's arm, but he avoided it. So, I have no choice but to watch them leave the room.
I imdiately get off the tearoom the mont Godfather leaves. I don't want to be left alone with this Prince.
I was about to look for our carriage when Prince Fraser caught up with my pace. He then grabs my arm and makes face him.
"Let's talk."
I wasn't able to refuse because he dragged sowhere else. We only stopped when we reached the back of Godfather's residence.
Prince Fraser stares at with a frown on his face. "What is that?"
I frown and just stare at him too. What does his question an? "Your highness, I don't understand what your question ans. What are you referring to?"
"What are you doing here? Did you co here just to convince Ruler Laird to let marry you? When will you realize that I don't love you and I will never love soone like you." He snaps at .
I felt my heart aches when I heard what he said. I couldn't believe I would hear this from him. I ca here because I wanted to help, yet this guy thinks I am only doing this for my own selfish reason.
I smile bitterly at him before I take a step forward and slap him. May my parents forgive for hurting a Prince, but I couldn't bear to stand still and watch him insults like this.
"I may have feelings for you, Prince Fraser, but I am not desperate for your love. After what you have done to ? Do you expect to still have feelings for you? All I feel for you now is hatred. I hate you, Fraser. I hate you for hurting again and again. I hate you so much." I laugh bitterly. "But I know I couldn't do anything to you because you're a Prince, and I'm just a noble. So, don't worry, I won't ever try to win you back and to answer your question. I am here to convince Godfather to support the Vrawyth Kingdom again because I know our Kingdom needs it the most. I don't have any idea that Godfather will do that. So, please don't bla for sothing I didn't do. In the first place, you were the reason why the Vrawyth Kingdom lost the support of Illorian City and Alderrdeen City. So stop putting the bla on !"
I give him a glare before I imdiately get away from him. Tears are already strolling down my face. I couldn't believe Prince Fraser would say that to . After what I have done for this
Kingdom.
Does he really think the world revolves around him? He's thinking too highly of himself.
I scoff and dry my tears, but no matter how much I wipe them off, it's no use because I can't stop myself from crying.
I decided to sneak out again from our Butler. I don't want anyone to see my current state. I feel disgusted and disappointed with myself. I couldn't believe I would fall in love with a man
like him.
He is so selfish. I hate him so much!
I run away towards the lakeside, but a carriage blocks my way. I look up and frown when I see
a renting carriage. I thought the Butler had found already.
A mont after, the coachman gets off the carriage. He then bows his head at . "Da Csille, our Master wants to see you.'
I wiped the tears on my face first before I answered the coachman. "Your Master? Who is this Master you are talking about?" I look at the carriage and frown. Only noble or wealthy people can have their own coachman, but I do not think this carriage is owned by a noble or wealthy
person.
The coachman shakes his head. "I cannot ntion his na because people might know him. But you already know him, Da Csille." He looks around, making sure that no one is around us. "You even stay in his house twice already." He only whispered the last words.
I have stayed at his house twice already? I look at the carriage. It's Mister Sewell!
How co he is always present when Csille is in despair? Does he have eyes around ?
I didn't write this scene, so I don't understand why he is here. Is he spying on , or is this just a re coincidence?
The coachman opens the door for . It's a good thing there is a curtain covering what is inside the carriage.
I look at the coachman for a couple of seconds before I get inside the carriage. I wasn't surprised when I saw Mister Sewell sitting inside. He smiles at . "Da Csille, it was nice eting you here."
I sit beside him, and I wait for the coachman to close the door of the carriage first before I answer Mister Sewell. I look back at Mister Sewell and smile politely at him. "It was nice eting you here too, Mister Sewell." I look around. "May I know what you are doing here?" Mister Sewell gestures his hand towards the paper bags lying on the seat in front of us. "I went out to go shopping in the shops nearby, and I happened to pass by here and saw you. Is everything okay? It seems like you were crying earlier. Did sothing happen, Da Csille?"
I smile bitterly. Prince Fraser happened, but I know I couldn't tell him. Not now.
I look at Mister Sewell and smile reassuringly at him before I shake my head. "Nothing happened. Thank you for the concern, Mister Sewell."
Mister Sewell stares at for a couple of seconds. "If you say so, then I will believe you." He then looks outside the carriage. "Why don't you co to my house cabin first?"
Go with him in his house cabin? I originally planned to unwind for a few minutes before returning ho. But since Mister Sewell already offers his house cabin, I don't think I can bear to say no. After all, the sakura tree in his backyard is way better than the lake. I'm sure it
will help calm down.
"To the house cabin."
I imdiately look at Mister Sewell when he suddenly asks the coachman to go to the house cabin. He probably has noticed that I don't have any objections to his suggestion.
I didn't say anything to him and just let look outside the window. I think it would be best for
to do it.
I close my eyes, and my conversation with Prince Fraser replays in my mind. I smile bitterly. Prince Fraser, you are really pushing Csille to beco the villainess, eh? Do you hate this much? If you do, why would you even donate blood to ? Aren't you also hating a part of you
too?
I shake my head and lean my forehead on the window.
"Are you sure you only want to rest here? Why don't you rest in one of the guest rooms first?
You look exhausted, Da Csille."
I look back and find Mister Sewell holding a tray of teapots and teacups with two plates of
pudding on it.
I asked him if I could rest in his pavilion that is facing the Sakura tree because I thought it would help calm down. And I am not wrong because the mont my eyes lay on the sakura
tree, I feel my heart calming slowly.
Nature is really a great healer.
I smile reassuringly at Mister Sewell and shake my head. "Thank you, but I'm already
satisfied watching the Sakura tree. Thank you for allowing to co here. I really
appreciate it."
Mister Sewell put down the tray on the center table and sat on the chair beside . "You are
always welco here."
Then silence envelopes the place. The two of us got busy doing our own thing. I was busy staring at the blossoming Sakura tree while he was busy pouring tea into the teacups.
A mont after, he hands a teacup full of tea. I bow my head as a sign of gratitude before taking the teacup. "Thank you."
I take a sip of the tea, and I close my eyes when I take a taste of the tea. It's as if this tea was brewed by soone who is a tea master.
I put the tea down and looked at Mister Sewell. I was planning to say sothing to him, but
he said sothing to first.
"Csille, I know you were lying in the carriage. Can you please share with what happened? Did you argue with Prince Fraser again?"
I smile bitterly. What is this? Is he trying to take know the real score between Prince Fraser
and Csille so he can do his plan?
I frowned when I realized sothing. But isn't this supposed to happen so other day?
