Why Did I Become the Villainess? Chapter 416: : Late



I left the Palace with a lot of questions in my mind. I got too busy with Mister Sewell's favors that I forgot to check on my three leads.

What is happening with them? Do they already confessed their feelings to Princess Paislee? And what about her secrets? Do they know that too?

I groan and slump my body on my bed. I have a lot of questions but I know no one can answer it for . I couldn't ask Rufus because I already cut my ties with him. I also couldn't ask Prince Fraser because I do not want him to think that I am still into him. The real Csille is, but I am not!

I also couldn't ask Princess Paislee or else she might also think that I am still into Prince Fraser which is not good because what is he is already catching feelings for Prince Fraser? Wouldn't I ss everything up again?

But if I remain staying here, I would think about these questions again and again.

I let out a soft groan again. I am soo frustrated that I want to rush to the two friends and interrogate them.

"Why do I have a lot of things to do? I know I am the villainess here but isn't this too much? I am already having trouble with Mister Sewell's favors and I still need to check on the three leads?" I complain to myself.

I don't have anyone to complain to so I have no choice but to just talk to myself because only I can know this secrets.

"Three leads? Who are you talking about? Who are these three leads that you needs to check?"

I almost had a heart attack when I heard soone speak. I imdiately get up from my bed and look at my door. I found Father smiling at with a tray in his hand. On the tray there is a prinsesstårta and tea.

"Apologies for startling you. I was knocking in your door for a few seconds now but you still haven't reply. So, I decided to just open it." He looks at my bed. "Am I interrupting your sleep?"

I shake my head subconsciously while I stare at my Father confusedly. I don't understand why he is here. It's still dayti. So, how co he is already in the house? I thought after the announcent that the Vrawyth Kingdom will not comply with the Aeslaerean's demands, everyone will be busy. So, how co Father is here?

Father puts the tray down on the bedside table before he looks at . "May I?" He was asking if it's okay for him to sit on my bed. I nod my head to him as a response. Father looks satisfied with my answer that he gives a wide smile.

"I know you are confused why I am already here. His Majesty ask to co to the Palace early this morning. He ask for my suggestions and after our conversation he told to take a break today. That's why I am already here. I was hoping to prepare a surprise dinner for you and your Mother. However, I was the one shocked when I see you return this early. Is everything okay? You look bothered when you return. Also, who are the three leads you are talking about?"

I heave a sigh. As much as I want to share my problems with him, I know I couldn't do that. This is a secret that only should know.

"I am just worried if I have ntioned the right people to his majesty. I couldn't help but worry about my suggestions. What if his majesty decided to assigned them and they all fail? I don't think I can bear that too much responsibility?"

That was a lie. How can I be worried if I know I did the right thing? I just told Father that because I couldn't tell him the truth. I also decided to fall on deaf ears about his question with the three leads. I don't know how can I answer his question that is why I ignore it. I just hope he wouldn't notice what I did.

Father frowns when he heard what I said. "His majesty also asked for you suggestions?" He sounds so surprise about it and I don't know if I should be insulted with his reaction. Does he thinks Csille isn't qualified to be asked by his majesty?

But I just shrugged it off. How can I make a biggie out of it? I am sure Father doesn't an it like that.

"Yes, Father. I was actually surprised when he ask that question because I don't think I am qualified enough to ntion nas for the new departnt. However, his majesty insist on it so I did have a choice but give him nas."

Father frowns. "And you give him nas? Who are the people you have ntioned to his majesty?"

I stare at Father. I don't understand why does he looks like he is against with what I did? "I have suggested his highness, Prince Fraser and Prince Rufus because those two Princes are known as one of the smartest person in the Kingdom. Aside from their intelligence, they have experiences working in the monarchy. It's the reason why I thought it would be best to have them in the new departnt."

Father nods his head after hearing my explanation. "Are they the only one you suggested?"

I shake my head. "No, Father. I also suggested Doctor Leander, Colonel Randle Lamare, Attorney Kirsa Gravese, General Blavier Abarral and Advisor Mallory Fenne."

Father frowns when he heard the nas I ntioned. "I understand if you suggested Doctor Leander since he is one of the best Doctor in the Kingdom beside from your Brother Pascal. And I am sure Doctor Leander can definitely help the new departnt. However, the other people. Aren't they too inexperienced to be part of the new departnt? I understand the need to have a General in the departnt. But is that General Abarral too inexperience for this? And Attorney Kirsa Gravese has an attitude. Don't you think it will not help the departnt if she was given a position? I also think Colonel Randle isn't a good choice. He only have an average skills compared to other Colonel. Isn't it better to choice other Colonel? As for Advisor Mallory, she might be a great Advisor but isn't she too young for the new departnt?"

I understand Father concerns. It's the reason why I am also worried about this. I know most of the people I suggested to his majesty are too young for the position. But I don't have a choice. I need to make sure that those people will have a position in the new departnt. "Father, I understand your worries but I have reasons why I suggested them. General Abarral might not be experienced as the other Generals but Father you cannot deny his abilities. He was the youngest General we ever had and that itself is enough reason to consider him. Out of all the experienced soldiers who can be the new General, he managed to bagged the position. Doesn't it defines his abilities? He is young but he already achieved soo much that he cannot be compared to the other General if they were at General Abarral's age. Aside from that, I know you are also aware that all of the soldiers that went under him are already soldiers with red patches. Isn't that enough reason for him to have a position in the new departnt?"

Soldiers with red patches are considered to be at the highest ranks among soldiers. The soldiers in the Kingdom are divided into ranking. From the best to the weakest soldiers. Red patches soldiers are also the soldiers who have a high chance to have a official position in the army. General Abarral used to be a red patch soldier before he starts to rise from the rankings.

I look at Father's expression and it looks like he already agrees with what I said. "Having Doctor Leander's supplents and General Abarral's training. I am sure we can produce soldiers who can compete with Illorian people."

Father sigh. "But aren't you afraid that the other Generals might be angry if they knew you suggest General Abarral instead of them? Csille, you do know how much influence you have with his majesty, right?"

I nod my head. "But Father, I am only doing what I should be doing. Why would I suggest their nas if they are not even qualified? Wouldn't that put in trouble? Also, why would they get mad at ? They should be mad at themselves for not being able to compete with

General Abarral."

Father gently caress my head. "You are really stubborn. But you should still be careful, Csille. I don't want anything to happen to you."

I just give Father a smile. "Should I continue to explaining Father?" Father shakes his head. "No need. After hearing your detailed explanation? I don't think there is sothing I should be worried about." He then caress my head again. "You did a great job Csille. I know understand why his majesty ask for your opinion. Your suggestion could really help the new departnt."

I just give him a small smile. Of course they are, I just have suggested to his majesty the nas of the people who will have a vital part in the new departnt. So, I am sure it will only

help.

But I forgot that there is a mole in the departnt and that is Csille. If Csille is not part of the departnt I am sure they can bring the Aeslaerean Kingdom down. Too bad the enemies have infiltrated the departnt before it can even starts.

What would his majesty feel if he knows that Csille, who was the reason for the success of the new departnt, is also the reason why it will fail in the future? I am sure he would be disappointed with .

I was too busy with my thoughts that I was startled when I heard Father call my na.

"Csille, are you okay? You look bothered? Did sothi happened in the Palace aside from the conversation you had with his majesty?" Father eyes sharpens after. "Did his highness said sothing rude to you again? Tell ."

I shake my head. Prince Fraser didn't say anything. In fact I didn't even had a chance to talk to

him. My mind just couldn't help but worry with what will happen next. What will happen to the Kingdom? What will happen between the three leads?

"Father, I am okay. I just couldn't help but worry what will happen next. Is there no way we

can avoid this war?"

I already know the answer to my question. There is no other way. We all need to go through

this.

Father gently caress my head. "Are you scared, Csille?"

I look at Father's eyes and nod my head. No, I am not just scared. I am terrified of the future.

Father gives a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Csille. I will not let anything happen to you or to our family. So, you don't have to be scared, okay? But can you promise one thing in

return?"

I imdiately frown when I heard what he said. He wants to do sothing for him in

return for protecting us? His own family?

"What is it, Father?"

Father takes my hand and gently caress it. "Can you promised not to join that new

departnt? I do have a feeling that his majesty will give you a position after you have given him your suggestions. So, can you promise that you will not accept that offer?"

I frown. Why would I? If I do that I will be going against the storyline. So, why would I risk it? "Father, may I know the reason why you don't want to accept it?"

Father squeezes my hand. "Csille, you are our only child. If you beco part of that new

departnt, you will be putting your life in danger. We are talking about war here, my dear. What if sothing happened to you while doing your job? I don't your Mother and I can bear that? So, can you promise not to accept his majesty's offer?"

I will be putting my life in danger by joining the departnt?

But Father, I have already done that when I decided to join Mister Sewell. I already put my life

in line. Isn't it too late for that?
