Another day has passed without hearing anything from his majesty. It's been two days after his majesty announced the establishnt of a new departnt, yet there is still no update about the departnt or who will be assigned to the departnt.
However, I am not that worried since I am already sure that I have a position in the departnt. But I have forgotten that Mister Sewell has eyes inside the Palace.
So, here I am, inside his cabin, preparing myself with his questions.
I anxiously look at Mister Sewell, who is currently sipping his usual cup of tea. He doesn't look mad at all, but I don't understand why I feel more frightened that he is calm.
He then turns his head at and smiles. "Da Csille, why don't you drink so tea first? You look nervous." He laughs. I don't know what does laugh ans, but I definitely feel a shiver on my spine when I heard that. "I wouldn't do anything to you. So, you can be at ease."
I take a soft breath. I don't want him to see that I am really nervous around him. That's why I try my best to take soft breaths.
Then I give him a reassuring smile. "I'm not nervous, Mister Sewell. I was just thinking about so problems with the Foundation. I have a lot of problems with it lately."
That is true, though. Yesterday, I got too busy with work that I forgot to think about this. The consequences if I didn't do anything that would look like I am convincing his majesty to give a position in the monarchy.
I was too confident that I already had a position in the departnt that I forgot to act like I was trying my best to convince his majesty to give a position.
How can I forget sothing important like this? How can I forget that there is a certain Mister Sewell who is always watching my every move? How can I explain to him why I didn't do anything? What explanation should I tell him that will make him feel satisfied?
Mister Sewell stares at as if he is making sure that what I am saying is true. That I am not afraid of him. He then smiles at . "Care to tell what those problems are?"
Why does he want to know? Does he know I am only making excuses here? Although I was busy with things in the Foundation, it hasn't co to the point that I will stress over it.
I shake my head. "I don't think it is great to talk about problems here, Mister Sewell. It's not that I don't want to share. I just think it's better not to spoil the mood. Also, I think you are already aware of what is happening in my life. So, I don't understand why we still need to talk about it." I shrugged my shoulders at him before I took the tea offered to earlier.
I better drink so tea so I can calm my nerves. Talking to Mister Sewell these days makes so anxious, probably because I know what will this Mister Sewell do in Csille's life.
Mister Sewell raises his eyebrow at . "You really know well, Da Csille. It is really great to have an ally who knows as you do." He then laughs. I don't know if it's a normal laugh or a taunting laugh. I don't even know if his words have double aning because this Mister Sewell is a wise man. He wouldn't give hints if he didn't want to, and right now, it looks like he wants to make anxious by confusing .
I just smile at him because I don't know how to respond to what he says. So, I would rather keep quiet than say things that might displease him. After all, I know how Mister Sewell gets angry, and even if he hasn't shown yet, I know it will terrify .
A lot.
The two of us sip our tea for a few minutes while we appreciate the view in front of his pavilion. I was waiting for him to ask questions on why I didn't do anything, and Mister Sewell is also probably waiting for to say any updates about the departnt.
We stayed silent for another few minutes before I couldn't bear the silence. The more I remained quiet, the more I beca anxious, so I decided to just ask him straight away than wait for Mister Sewell to talk.
I turn my head at Mister Sewell and found him sipping his tea casually. He looks so calm, as if he isn't worried that I didn't do anything to convince his majesty.
I heave a sigh. "Mister Sewell, may I know why you want to see today?"
He didn't imdiately answer my question. Instead, he just leans on his chair and casually sips his tea. A mont after, he puts down his teacup and smiles at . "I just want to hear any updates from you."
I knew it! He knew that I didn't do anything to have a position in the monarchy. Did he call here to reprimand ?
But I only did that because I am already sure that I have a spot in the Foundation. So, I didn't do anything to convince his majesty.
I take a deep breath before I answer him. "I know you are already aware that his majesty hasn't released any updates about the departnt or who are the people assigned for it. So, I'm sure you are asking about what I have done to have a position in the departnt."
I turn my head at him and see him nod his head. "You are right. I want to know what you have done to have a position in the departnt. So, tell , Da Csille, did you do sothing?" It's just a simple question, but I suddenly feel chills because of it. It's as if he is threatening instead of asking.
I calm myself down first before I answer him. "I know you are well aware of what I have done." I shake my head. "No, I haven't done anything at all." I heave a sigh. "Apologies, Mister Sewell. You know what I have done just to have a seat in that eting, right? I have risked everything, so it was difficult for to find an opening where I could talk to his majesty alone. I'm sure you also know that after my engagent with Prince Fraser got canceled, my privilege to go in and out of the Palace was taken. I couldn't find an opportunity to enter the Palace. But don't worry, I am doing my best to find an opening."
I don't know if my excuse will be acceptable to him, but this is the only excuse I can think of at the mont. I just wish he could understand that I am also in a difficult position currently.
I nervously look at Mister Sewell, waiting for his response. But he just stared at with a blank expression. He then nods his head after. "I understand that what I am asking you is not an easy thing to do. After all, it involves his majesty. However, let remind you, Da Csille, that we won't be able to execute your revenge if you wouldn't be part of that new departnt. So, let ask you, Da Csille. Do you still want to have your revenge?"
I felt a shiver on my spine when I heard what he said. It may sound like he is concerned about , but I know more than anyone else that he only cares about himself. He is a selfish man who only thinks about himself. If I don't have any use to him, I'm sure he can throw out of
his cabin.
And it's not the first ti he made it look like he is only doing this for my sake. That he made Csille believe that he was the one being dragged into this ss instead of Csille.
This guy is really scary. He looks innocent on the outside, but he is a wolf in sheep's clothing
on the inside.
"Da Csille?"
I was too engrossed with my own thoughts that I forgot to answer him. I turn my head at Mister Sewell and find him staring at . In a short glimpse, I have seen sothing in his eyes. Sothing that lasts for a few seconds only.
I'm not sure if what I have seen is true or not, but what I have seen in his eyes is anger. Is he mad at because I couldn't follow what he asked to do?
I heave a sigh. Based on how I have written Mister Sewell, it is not possible. That he is mad at
.
I make sure I look mad right now before I answer him. I need to make him see how angry Csille is towards Prince Fraser. I even grit my teeth to show my resentnt towards the Crown
Prince.
"I want to take my revenge. I still want to make Prince Fraser suffer what I have suffered. I want to take everything he haves so he can know what I feel right now."
I was pretending earlier, but the words that co from my mouth just now feel true. As if I was really angry at Prince Fraser. I can even feel the anger starting to bubble inside of .
It's the real Csille! What I am feeling right now is the feelings of the real Csille and not mine. It's the reason why the way I can also hear the hatred in each word I say.
She is really angry, and just like Mister Sewell, I am sure she would do anything to take her
revenge.
I can see Mister Sewell smirking. "That is right, Da Csille. What Prince Fraser did to you is sothing unacceptable. You are the most respected lady in the Kingdom, so how can he turn you down like that in front of everyone? He is a cruel and selfish man."
I almost raised my eyebrow when I heard that from him. Really? It's as if he isn't a cruel and selfish person too. Is he also describing himself because I can picture him based on his
description?
"This kind of man deserves to suffer. So, what you are doing is the right thing, Da Csille. Don't let him live a happy life while you suffer alone. He needs to suffer too. He cannot be happy unless you beco happy." He whispers to my ears.
He sounded like the devil whispering evil things in cartoons. Even his voice sounds like that. All he needs is a horn, a tail, and a pitchfork. And he can already pass as the devil reincarnate.
I look at Mister Sewell with determination in my eyes. Then I nod my head. "You are right. I cannot allow him to live the life he wants while here I am, stuck with the life I hate."
In my peripheral vision, I can see him smirking at what I said. Of course, he will be happy because he thinks he managed to make Csille obey him. However, there is one thing he didn't know. That I am not Csille, and I am well aware of what he is doing.
"And in order to do that, you need to find a way to have a position in that departnt. You need to be an important part of that departnt, Da Csille. Only by doing this will we be able to bring down Prince Fraser."
Bring down, Prince Fraser? No, that isn't enough for him. He doesn't only want to change the heir to the throne, but he also wants to change the royal family. So his family can take over. An opportunity they have been looking for. To take back the throne.
I nod my head. "Don't worry, Mister Sewell. After our conversation, I will imdiately head into the Palace to convince his majesty to give a position in that departnt."
I was startled when Mister Sewell gently caressed my head. He then looks at proudly. As if he is my Father who looks proud of my achievents.
"Soon, you will be able to get your revenge. All you need to do is follow what I am telling you,
and you will definitely get it soon."
My revenge? More like his revenge.
