Why Did I Become the Villainess? Chapter 429: : Favor



However I didn't expect things wouldn't work the way I want it.

"Da Csille, you do know that his majesty ask to create a team of Doctors that will be deployed to the battlefield once the war started, right?"

I nod my head confusedly. Of course I know all of those. I have written so why wouldn't I know it?

But there is one thing I don't understand. Why is he telling all of this? I am not a Doctor so there is no way I can help . So, why?

"Yes, I am well aware about it. But why did you ntioned it, Doctor Leander?"

He then walks towards my table. "Can you please do a favor and ask your cousin, Doctor Pascal, if he wants to beco a part of that team? I think he is more knowledgeable than and having him in the team will definitely be a big help."

"My dear, is there sothing wrong? You still haven't touch your food? Is there sothing wrong with your work?"

I was too engrossed thinking about my conversation with Leander that I forgot that I am currently eating dinner with my family.

I look at Mother and smile reassuringly at her. "Apologies, I was probably tired with all the work today."

Mother frowns. It looks like she doesn't like what I have said. "You should have rest the mont you returned. Look what is happening to you," she then shakes her head. "Is everything okay with your work? You look bothered?"

How can I not look bothered? That Leander just ask to make Brother Pascal agree to be a part of his team of Doctors.

I know more than anyone else what will happen if I allow Brother Pascal to join that team. He will surely lose his life and I couldn't allow it. He is the only hope of the Lauretré Family and I will never do sothing that could endanger him.

"Csille, is there sothing wrong?"

I was so deep with my thoughts that I forgot to answer Mother. I look at her and smile reassuringly. "No, Mother. Everything is fine. I am just thinking about things. There is nothing you should be worried about. Everything is under control."

I was about to take a spoon of ny dinner when Father suddenly speak. "And you expect us to believe that? I heard so commotion happened in the Foundation and it involved Prince Joachim. Is he bothering you?"

Prince Joachim does but I am more bothered with Leander's request. Although I have turned him down, I am sure he wouldn't give up Brother Pascal. So, I need to make sure Brother Pascal wouldn't agree with Leander.

I look at Father and sigh. "No, Father. It's just a simple misunderstanding and I already fixed it. There is nothing you should worried about."

I heard Mother sigh. She then turn her head at Father who is sitting beside her. "My dear, you alredy heard our daughter. You don't have to look at her like that. I am sure she can handle everything on her own. Our child is one the brightest lady in the Kingdom. So, there is no need for you to be worried."

Father look at Mother with a frown. "My Countess, I think you are forgetting sothing else. Have your forgotten that the daughter you are praising just now is still unmarried. We need to do sothing about it."

Oh, oh. Don't tell they will convince to marry soone else again?

Oh, dear, why do I always face problems here?

Mother and Father tried to pry information about my relationship with Leander but I imdiately turn down their hope.

How can they think that I like Leander? I only see him as an older brother. Also, don't they know that they are endangering everyone by doing this?

It's a good thing I managed to find an execuse to leave the dining hall or else I wouldn't have a choice but to answer all their questions.

I was about to walk to my room to take so rest when I bumped into Brother Pascal. It looks like he just returned from his work.

Brother Pascal stares at wide eyed. "Csille? You have returned to the Capital already? I thought you will stay there for a few more days."

I shake my head. "Even if I want to, I couldn't do that. I still need to work in the Foundation to avoid people from doubting us. Also I need to visit the western region tomorrow to check how Mister Earnan is doing. I need to make sure that everything will be okay for tomorrow's announcent."

Brother Pascal nods his head. "Oh, yeah I rember. His majesty will announced tomorrow that the Vrawyth Kingdom will be selling weapond with the sa quality of Stozeterra's weapons, right? Do you need soone to co with you to the western region?"

I shake my head. "No need, Brother. I know you are busy with your work in the hospital. How can I interrupt your work? Also, I already told Mister Earnan that I will be visiting the western region. So there is nothing you should be worried about. I can perfectly take care of myself."

Brother Pascal frowns. "Did you ntioned this to Aunt and Uncle?"

I shake my head. I was too bothered by Leander's words that I forgot to inform them that I will leave the capital again. "I forgot to ntion it. I was too preoccupied with things in my work that it slipped my mind but I will talk to them later. For now, I have sothing important to talk to you, Brother. Do you have ti?"

He frowns at . "Sothing important? What is it? Also, make sure you inform Aunt and Uncle about your visit to the western region. Don't make them worried about you again."

I nod my head. "I will, Brother. So you don't have to worry even I don't want to worry them. And about the important thing I want to talk to you," I look around, making sure no one is around us. But I have seen two maids cleaning the hallways. Although we trust our people, it is still better to be safe than sorry. What I am going to talk about is sothing related to the safety of the Vrawyth Kingdom. And even if I will betray the Kingdom in future, I still don't want to put the Kingdom in danger right now. "Can we just talk about this in private?" Brother Pascal frowns but I didn't hear any objection from him. "I understand. Let's talk in the library." He then starts to walk towards the library while I follow behind him.

After the two of us settled down in the library, he imdiately throw questions at . "Csille, what is this important thing you want to talk about that you don't even want other people to hear about it? Also, I heard from Uncle that you wasn't able to return ho yesterday because you were busy in the new departnt. Is everything okay there? Do you need so help? I can help you if you want."

I shake my head. "Everything is doing great in the new departnt. There are still things we need to work on but we will talk about later. For now, we all need to make a plan how to balance our two jobs. We couldn't give up our original work or else those spies might noticed that sothing is wrong. There are a lot of spies in the Kingdom so we need to be more extra careful. So, I apologize if I won't be able to accept your help. Things are alre complicated in my part and as much as possible, I don't want to involve any of you on that."

I paused and look at Brother Pascal's reaction. He just nods his head at . "I understand but if you ever need soone to talk to you can rant on . You do know that I still love you even if we have argunts recently."

I look at him and give him a hug. Just this once, I will allow myself to do what I want to do.

I break from our hug and look at him with a genuine smile. "I will, Brother." I badly want to return the concern he has for but I know I won't be able to do that in the future. How can I if I will beco the villainess?

"As for the important thing I want to talk to you. Brother, it is about Doctor Leander."

He imdiately frowns when he heard what I said. "This is the important thing you want to talk to ? You want to talk about Doctor Leander? What is it about?"

I heave a sigh. I know it will be difficult for to convince him not to talk to Leander because I know how he sees Leander. He respected him as a Doctor. "Brother, I know you have

a high respect for Doctor Leander."

He nods his head. "Everyone in the Kingdom respected him aside from that he has a great skill as a Doctor. So, I don't see any reason why I wouldn't respect him."

I understand him though. Leander can be blunt at tis but he is still a good person. It's also one of the reason why he is well respected in the Vrawyth Kingdom. Because aside from

his unparalleled skills in dicine, he is also a good person.

"I know that, Brother but can you please avoid talking to him."

He raises his eyebrow at . "And why would I do that? Csille, can you he honest with ? What is the real score between you and Doctor Leander?"

I almost groan when I heard his question. How mant tis I would explain to them that there is nothing going on between us? In fact, I am also doing this to get rid of that Leander.

If Leander realizes that my cousin doesn't like him, it will made him discouraged. In this world, it is important to be accepted by the relatives of the person you like. So, it will be good if Brother Pascal will avoid him.

"Brother, there is nothing going on with . Haven't I already told you that it is impossible for the two of us. In fact, the reason why I want to talk about him is because I couldn't stand

him anymor-"

I wasn't able to continue what I want to say because he already cuts off. "Did he do sothing wrong with you? Just tell . Even if he is a Royal Physician, he is still not allowed to do sothing to you or to any woman."

I shake my head. I want Brother Pascal to avoid Leander but not to the extent that I will taint Leander's reputation. That is sothing I wouldn't do.

"No, Brother. He didn't do anything wrong with so you don't have to worry. However, he

still wants to pursue even if I already rejected him. I just couldn't stand how he acts with lately but he hasn't done anything overboard. I just feel like he couldn't respect my decision. So, I want you to avoid him. I am afraid that he will co to you one day to convince you to make give him a chance."

Brother Pascal got silent for a couple of seconds. He was probably contemplating whether to agree with or not. After all, Doctor Leander haven done anything wrong to him so there is

no reason for him to do that.

I look at him nervously. I was about to convince him more but he interrupts .

"But I do think he isn't a bad choice, Csille. Why don't you give him a chance?"

I groan in frustration when I heard what he said. I thought he would agree with but I

guess I failed this ti.

"Brother, I already told you, I only see him as my Brother and nothing else. So I hope you wouldn't talk to him. Try to avoid him as much as you can."

He sigh and gently caress my head. "Okay, I will try but I cannot promise. The dicine

world is not big. I am sure we would et one way or another but I will try to avoid him for

your sake. So you don't have to worry."

I look at Brother Pascal.

I really hope that there is nothing I should worry about, Brother because I don't want anything to happen to you.
