Why Did I Become The Villainess? Chapter 128
Advertisement
Csille look at the mirror and smile. She just finished disguising herself as a maid. She turns around and smiles when she almost didn't recognize herself. She looks like a legit maid now.
She wears a wig to cover her hair. Everyone knows who's the only person with purple hair in this world, so I need to cover it. The only problem is my eyes. I couldn't find anything that could help me cover my eyes. Only if there are contact lenses in this world she wouldn't have any problem.
Csille stares at her own reflection and sigh. Csille is really beautiful. However, she missed seeing her real face. She doesn't even know when will she see it again.
She is about to finish her disguise when someone knocks on her door. Csille is sure that it's Rufus because she had a deal with him.
Rufus welcomes him with a frown. "I don't understand why I am doing all of these for you. You definitely need to treat me after this purplany." He grumbles.
I immediately drag Rufus inside and close the door. I cannot let anyone see Rufus in front of my door. I drag him to my bed and let him sit on it while I sit beside him.
My plan for tonight wouldn't be successful without Rufus' help. The only problem is, does Rufus successfully finish the task?
"What happened? Did you successfully finished what I ask you to do?" I ask him nervously.
With the conversation we had with the royalties from the three kingdoms, we definitely need to do something, or else it will be dangerous for the Vrawyth Kingdom.
I don't know what is happening and why this is happening. All I know is, if we didn't do anything, it would be the end for the Vrawyth Kingdom. Although I didn't write about war in this period of time, I'm sure it will happen if I didn't do anything.
Rufus shakes his head. "I don't even know why I am risking myself for you." He then pinches my cheeks. "You don't have to worry. I already did what you want me to do."
I was about to complain to Rufus, but I changed my mind when I heard what he said. He did what I ask him? I immediately shake his hand off from my face and stare at him. "You really did? Did you send a messenger bird to Ruler Laird? Did he reply?"
Rufus nods his head. "As I said, I already did. In fact, the Great Ruler immediately responds to the letter. He is already waiting for your arrival. Are you sure you want to go there alone? Csille, you still know that there's still a threat from Strzalka, right? I think it's better to have someone with you."
I roll my eyes at Rufus. "Rufus, have you forgotten? I will go there as a maid and not Csille Lauretré. Do you think the guards in the residence of Ruler Laird will believe that I am just a simple maid?"
I'm really amazed at how intelligent Rufus is but at the same time dumb.
"Okay, just forgot that I said that." He paused for a few minutes. "Wait, how about I accompany you? I still think it's better to have someone accompany you tonight. What will I tell Prince Fraser if something happened to you?"

I rolled my eyes at Rufus. "Then tell him he can marry someone else."
Rufus shakes his head. "Do you want me to die? You do know that my cousin has a temper, right?"
"Rufus, I don't need someone to accompany me, okay? Also, I need you to be there. I need to know what Prince Fraser will say about the news that the royalties from the three Kingdoms are forming an alliance. Oh, by the way, did Prince Fraser said something when you informed him that I could not attend the meeting for tonight?"
Rufus nods his head. "He did say something. Although he didn't do the thing, I expected him to do."
I raise my eyebrow at Rufus. "What do you expect him to do? Also, what did he do after hearing I couldn't join the meeting?"
"I thought he would yell at me or something, but he just stares at me for more than a minute before he nods his head and changes the topic. It was Leander who looks so worried about you. He almost wants to check on you. It's a good thing I told him you don't want to be disturb."
I smile bitterly. I guess he already hates me now. I should feel happy now since I already cut off the relationship between the male lead and the villainess. However, my heart feels like it is suffocating with the news.
I remember those times when he knew that I was hurt or I am sick. He would immediately rush to my side and scold me.
It's all my fault. I hurt someone who I don't want to hurt. I'm sorry, Prince Fraser.
This is what I want, and this is what I need. I made a promise to Aaline and Soiartze. I cannot break that. Also, what about Lena? I left her all alone in the real world. What will happen to her? And I cannot risk the safety of everyone here. I was the reason why this world is existing. I cannot be the reason why it will disappear.
I nod my head at Rufus. I tried my best to look like it was nothing for me. "What did you say to them? What reason did you give to them?"
"I told what you want me to say to them. I told them that your fever comes back, and you feel so weak to even stand up from your bed."
"Do they believe it?"
I am actually worried that they will realize that I am making excuses. Everyone notices how Prince Fraser is avoiding me like the plague. They are all probably thinking that I am only avoiding Prince Fraser. That's why I did this.
Also, Leander sees through my excuse the last time. I know he won't fall for this the second time around. For Prince Fraser? I'm not sure if he will believe it. He doesn't even care, so why would he even bother knowing if it's true or not. For Princess Paislee? I know she won't believe it. She won't be Princess Paislee if she would fall for these petty excuses.
Rufus smirks. "Csille, they won't be chosen as the representatives of our Kingdom if they will fall for this excuse. We all know what's the score between you and Prince Fraser. We're not dumb to not able to read the lines."

I want to laugh at Rufus' words. If he isn't my accomplice, he is probably the only one who falls for it.
I stand up and walk in front of the mirror. While Rufus remains sitting on my bed. I look at my reflection and smile bitterly. Although I am still in pain because of Prince Fraser's reaction, I still need to do what I should do.
I finished doing my last preparation. "What do you think? Do I look like I am a maid now?" I ask Rufus while finishing things up.
I need to leave the Vrawyth residence before the sun sets. I'm not sure how long my conversation will last with the Great Ruler. But to make sure that I will come home safely, I need to visit Ruler Laird's residence before six and leave before ten.
"It's actually great. If only not for your eyes, you won't be noticeable. But we all know that only you have purple eyes in this world, Csille. Just like how I am the only one who has red eyes."
I sigh. I couldn't do anything with my eyes. I'm planning to just avoid people's eyes and walk head down. With this, I can avoid getting noticed.
"When will the meeting start? Does Prince Fraser knows what we learned this morning?"
The issue with the three kingdoms is definitely a huge problem for us. We really need to settle this as much as possible.
"The meeting will start half an hour from now. We just told him that it's something about the neutral Kingdom. We didn't go in detail because we want Sir Farren to knows about the issue."
I put my make up brushes down and look at the clock. It's already five thirty in the evening. I need to get going now. I immediately gather my stuff. It's just a small pouch. It is where I will put the pill and the antidote. I also bring a larger pouch. It is where I put my centimes and my time watch.
"I'll be going now, Rufus. It's getting late, and you know that the Illorian City residence is in the opposite direction of our residence. I need to go now if I want to arrive at the Illorian residence before six."
Rufus immediately stands up and walks beside me. "Do you want me to hire a carriage for you?"
I immediately shake my head. Is Rufus thinking straight? I'm sure he will hire a high class carriage, which won't suit a maid like me.
"No need, I'm planning to hire on my own. Also, if I let you look for one, I'm sure you'll hire a high class carriage."
Rufus scratches his nape. He looks guilty. I knew it! It's a good thing I didn't agree with his suggestion, or else before I could even step down the carriage, my identity will be exposed.
I stop behind the closed door and look intently at Rufus. I need to remind him a few words, so he would know what to do if someone looks for me.
I don't want them to know I was gone to visit Great Ruler because I know they will insist on accompanying me. And that's now what I want.
"If someone asks about me, just tell them I don't want to get disturbed that I was so weak that I just want to sleep. If they ask if I want to eat, just tell them that you made sure I ate something before I sleep and that you left food for me in case I wake up hungry. Make it clear to them that I don't want anyone to disturb my sleep, okay?"
Rufus nods his head. "Don't worry. I will do as what you say. Just make sure too that everything will be fine on your side." Rufus groan. "I'm sure Prince Fraser will be mad at me if he knows that I just let you leave the residence without anyone accompanying you."
I roll my eyes at him. "Do you think he will do that? Didn't you saw his reaction when you informed him that I don't feel good tonight? I'm sure he wouldn't care about me."
Rufus is about to defend his cousin, but I just raised my palm to his face. "Stop. I don't want to hear it anymore. Just get used with how the two of us interact with each other."
I am about to open my door when I remember something very important. I rummage to my things to look for the key.
Rufus immediately follows behind me. He even helps me looking for something even though he doesn't know what it is. "What are you looking for, purplany? I thought you need to rush now? What are searching?"
I stop rummaging to my stuff and look at Rufus. I am looking for the key to my room. I need to make sure that I lock my room. So even if I am not inside, they would just think that I just needed time for myself. "I'm looking for the key to my room. Have you seen it?"
Rufus raises his hand with the keys. "Is this what you are looking for?"
I immediately grab the key and put it inside my pouch. "I'll be locking my room. If anyone asks why I did that, just say I want to make sure that no one can disturb my sleep and that they shouldn't worry about me."
Rufus nods his head. "I'll keep that in mind. Are you sure you will go there alone? What will you do if something will happen to you?"
"If it's my time, it will be my time." I just shrugged my shoulders at him. I'm also sure the villainess' life wouldn't be at risk. Not now that the story is just starting to progress.
