Why Did I Become the Villainess? Chapter 69 - : Hide And Seek (2)

That person imdiately gets out of the building without taking his hands off my eyes. I just let that person takes without complaint.

He stops walking and takes his hand off my eyes when we walk far away from the building. We're inside of one of the alleys. Although it's different than the mysterious alley.

I turn to look at that person. I knew it! It's really Rufus. The reason why I didn't shout or do anything to harm the person is because I recognize his voice. How could I even forget Rufus, the red eye and red hair man?

But why did he help get out of that building? I am now dressed up as a man. Don't tell he recognized ? But that's impossible. I made sure that my disguise is on point, and no one is supposed to know that I am Csille. So, why?

I am about to talk when he cuts off. "What the heck are you doing there, Csille?!" He snapped at .

I imdiately froze on the spot. How the heck did he know I am Csille? What eyes does he have to be able to see through my disguise? I look around, trying to find a plausible excuse.

"Don't avoid !" He walks closer to and holds in my arms. He then shakes the hell out of . "What are you doing in there, Csille? Are you insane? That's a place not appropriate for a young lady like you. What are you planning again, Csille?" Rufus sigh and let go.

"I'm sorry young master, but I don't know you. Maybe you're mistaking for soone," I coughed and tried to make my voice manly. However, my efforts seem in vain since my voice still sounds feminine. Curse this!

Rufus just looks at as if saying, are you serious. I shake my head. Still trying to denies his claim. I couldn't get caught. What if he is with Prince Fraser? I'll be dood for sure.

"I'm sorry young master, but I still have a matter to take care of. So, if you'll excuse ," I tried to make my way out, but it looks like Rufus doesn't want to let go.

"Really? You're still pushing that disguise? Only a fool will believe that." He then rolled his eyes at .

It won't hurt that plot if I kick him, right? Sotis, I regret befriending this guy. He's nosy.

I sigh. "I'm sorry young master, but you're really mistaken. I'm not the person you are saying."

"You're not? Really?" He takes another step closer to , and then he lowered his head. He's way taller than . That's why he does it to have an eye to eye conversation with . "If you're really not Csille, then tell , how co you have purple eyes? Everyone knows that only the daughter of the Count of the Vrawyth has purple eyes."

I knew it! Curse these eyes. If this continues, I'm afraid that even Prince Fraser would notice , and I don't want that. Goodness gracious, no!

I look at Rufus back to see if anyone is there, and when I made sure there's no one, I sigh and take a step back away from him. "Yeah, yeah. You got . Happy now?" I sarcastically ask. I look behind him again. Afraid that Prince Fraser will pop out of nowhere. "I need to go," I tried to walk past him, but he caught my arms.

"And where are you going? Going back to that place? Csille, that's not a good place for soone like you!" He looks at disapprovingly.

I sigh and shake his hands off of . "I'm not going back there, okay? I'll just stroll around the stalls. Can I not do that? Is it still not appropriate for soone like ?" I sarcastically ask him.

This guy. He is really getting on my nerves. Like, co on, let go. I still don't want to die. I frantically look around, trying to see if Prince Fraser would walk on one of the corners. Rufus imdiately saw that, and he smirks.

"Are you hiding from soone? Is that the reason why you are in disguise?" Rufus laughs. "You know your efforts are futile, right? Everyone would definitely know you are Csille Lauretré with your eyes."

I glare at him. Can this guy not rub salt on my wounds? I know that, okay?

He inched closer to and whispered, "Tell , Csille, are you hiding from Prince Fraser?"

My eyes imdiately widen because of his question. How co this guy knows it? Am I that obvious?

I imdiately shake my head and avoid his eyes. I also made a fake laugh. "What are you saying, Rufus? ? Avoiding Prince Fraser? Why would I do that?"

Rufus leans on the wall and looks at like he is watching an interesting show. "It as if you didn't done it before. Rember, in the Vrawyth High School of the Nobles. You also avoid him that everyone thought you had a fight with Prince Fraser. So, tell , why wouldn't I think you're not hiding from Prince Fraser? Aside from him, who other person made you anxious if they are around?"

I glare at Rufus. This guy definitely knows how to read people. It's a good thing he is my friend, or else I'm sure he'll tell Prince Fraser about what I am doing.

I raised both my hand as a sign that I surrender, and he is right. "Okay, okay, you got there. But I'm not anxious around him, okay? What's there to be anxious?"

Rufus snorts at . "Really? You're not anxious? If you're not, then what are you doing here? Strolling around the busy street of Illorian City dress in a man's clothing?"

"Can't I just want to be in peace? My hair and the way I dress easily draw the attention of everyone. Can I just want to walk around the city without everyone noticing my presence? Also, it's much safer to stroll around a foreign city in a man's clothing. Who knows? Maybe I'll be a victim of harassnt if I dress as Csille."

"Really? Is that the reason why? Also, who would dare to disrespect the daughter of the Count of the strongest Kingdom? People are not that ignorant."

I rolled my eyes at him. Can you just agree with what I am saying? Why do you constantly contradict ? Are you born just to contradict ? "You know what? Think what you want to think. I'm getting out of here."

However, I haven't even take a step when Rufus obstruct my way. I look at him irritatedly. "What? You won already. You notice . Can you let go now?"

Rufus laughs loudly. It's as if he just watched a hilarious show. Oh, so I am a clown now? "Why are you so mad at ? I'm not here to sell you to Prince Fraser. Like co on, how can I do that to my Purplany?"

I cringe with the nickna. "So, why are you here, Rufus? And I already told you, I am not in disguise because of Prince Fraser. Why do you always ntion him?"

"Uh, because he is your fiancé and your future husband. Cs-"

I raised my both my hand at him. Jeez, what husband? Husband, my face. I still don't want to die. Does this guy want to die? To even think of getting married to Prince Fraser. That's... that's definitely not going to happen. Not until the crows turn white, there's no way a wedding could happen between us.

"I already told you before, right? There's a lot of things that could happen. Don't speak sothing like that, as if it's already decided. Changes can happen, Rufus. Who knows, maybe Prince Fraser will marry soone else in the future."

I hope this guy could catch what I want to say. There's no way Prince Fraser and I would get married. I bet my whole life. I'm one hundred percent sure it's impossible for the two of us.

Rufus shakes his head as if what I said is impossible to happen. "That will not happen. You also know the personality of my cousin. He is not indecisive, Csille. Once he put his word on it, he will do it. So dream on, Csille." He then looks at . "Why does it seem like you don't want to marry Prince Fraser?"

I avoid his stare and laugh awkwardly at him. "What are you saying? Why would I not want to marry him? He's smart, he's handso, and he's a crown prince. Everyone would love to marry him."

"And you're an exception?"

I sigh and look at him. "Rufus, it's not that I don't want to marry him. I do. I really do."

Not. Co on, why would I want to marry soone who doesn't belong to in the first place? I'm not a howrecker. Also, I'm not suicidal. I still want to beco a writer and return to the real world, okay. So, why would I?

But of course, I cannot say that to Rufus. "But we also need to consider what Prince Fraser wants. We need-"

"But he wants you too," Rufus cuts off.

Want your face. I am the only one who knows who Prince Fraser really wants, and that's not . It will never be .

"I don't understand why we are having this conversation again. We've been through this before. Can we not talk about it again?"

Rufus sigh and nods his head. "Okay, okay. But I still have a question."

I groan at Rufus' words. "Not about Prince Fraser again, and I swear to you, Rufus, I'll walk out right here, right now."

Rufus laughs. "You really don't want to talk about him, eh? Do you hate him, Csille?"

"Rufus!"

Rufus laughs again and raises both his hands in the air. "Okay, okay. Calm down, will you? It's not about him, okay? I was just wondering, what are you doing in that place?"

My face imdiately hits up when I rember the scene that welcos when I entered the building. "I didn't look at the signboard when I entered that building. I thought it's a safe place. Imagine my shock when I saw what's inside. If you didn't drag out that place, I would probably be frozen in place."

Rufus shakes his head. He raised his hand to probably ss my hair which he usually does, but it stops midair when he realized he couldn't ss my hair because I am wearing a hat and a wig.

"Next ti, look at the signboard before you enter any building. It's a good thing I recognized you imdiately, or else your eyes will be tainted." He shakes his head and stares at my wig. "This wig. It looks real. You really have a plan to sneak, aren't you?"

I rolled my eyes at him. "Can we not talk about it? I'm going back. I still want to stroll around the city."

Rufus imdiately follows behind . I look back at him and glare. "What do you think you are doing?"

"What? I'm making sure you are safe," he points at his eyes. I rolled my eyes at him.

Okay, I understand it. We both have eyes that are recognizable. Even if we disguise ourselves, people will still notice us because of our eyes. We're alike.

I just continue walking and let him follow behind. Rufus already said it, he won't tell to Prince Fraser, and it's enough for to let him follow behind. At least I know I'm safe.

I stopped at the sugar candy stall. It's also the shop where I bought the sugar candy I was eating a while ago. Too bad I let it go when Rufus drags out of that place.

"Sugar candy?" He asked .

I look at Rufus and smile. I rember a ti when I was still nine years old Csille. Rufus and I sotis sneak out just to eat these sugar candies.

I nod my head at him. He then buys two packs of sugar candy. One for each of us. I take the pack. I am about to take a bite of the sugar candy when suddenly I heard the voice of the person I'm hiding from.
