Chapter 355 : Insist

Rread latest chapters at novelhall.come Csille, did you argue with Prince Fraser again?"

I raised my eyebrow at Princess Paislee's question. I didn't expect she would come here just to ask me that question. What can I expect from Princess Paislee? Everything is about Prince Fraser. I was about to answer her, but Rufus cut me off. "Csille, you meet Prince Fraser again? You should have let me come with you. What did Prince Fraser do to you again? Did he hurt you ag—"

Rufus isn't able to continue what he wants to say because Princess Paislee interrupts him. "Your highness, please forgive me for interrupting, but Prince Fraser didn't do anything to Dame Csille. In fact, Prince Fraser was sad the whole day because of Dame Csille."

Rufus looks at me as if asking for some confirmation, but I ignore him. I just look at Princess Paislee with a frown on my face.

How did the focus turn towards me? What did I do? And what does Princess Paislee say? Prince Fraser is sad the whole day because of me? I scoff. "Sir Farren, I think you're mistaken here. Why would his highness become sad because of me? I didn't do anything to him or even say something that would hurt him."

What? Did Prince Fraser turn the blame on me? So he could look pitiful in front of Princess Paislee, or did he do it to make me the bad guy again? Is it the reason why he said those things in the carriage?

Prince Fraser, you are really heartless.

Rufus walks toward me. "Wait, can someone fill me in here. I don't understand what is happening." Then he looks at me. "Csille, you didn't tell me that you will meet my cousin today."

I look at Rufus for a couple of seconds before I ignore her and look at Princess Paislee. Urging her to answer my question.

I will explain to Rufus what happened later. For now, I want to focus on Princess Paislee. I want to know how did she come up with the idea that I was then the reason why Prince Fraser is sad today.

Princess Paislee shakes her head. "No, Dame Csille. I am sure the reason why his highness is sad is because of you. After you welcome the guests, he comes back looking gloomy. He even told me that he would not meet anyone today and would like to work on his own. So, I'm sure it's you."

That's it? So, this is all an assumption? I knew it! It's impossible for the villainess to affect the male lead's emotions. It was all Princess Paislee's assumption.

I heave a sigh. I don't know if it's because I was relieved or because I was disappointed. I look at Princess Paislee and scoff at her. "So you are telling me that you came here to confirm your assumptions?" I laugh. "Forgive me for laughing, but I just couldn't help it. Let me ask you a question, Sir Farren."

Princess Paislee stares at me in return. "Dame Csille, that is not just assumptions. I know what I am saying is the tru—"

"Sir Farren, are you with Prince Fraser when we welcomed the guests?" I already know the answer to my question. I just asked her to make her see my point. I don't know if I should be happy or insulted by what she does. She comes here just to ask me if I was the reason why Prince Fraser is sad? How am I supposed to know? Also, does she really think I am someone important to Prince Fraser's life? Isn't she thinking highly of me?

I shake my head. I think it will be the same. I will still end up as the villainess because Prince Rufus will also fall in love with Princess Paislee. I guess no matter who Csille falls in love with between the two Princes. She will still end up as the Villainess.

I wave my hand at Rufus as a sign of disagreement. "I know you are dying to know what really happened today, so I'm going to tell you."

I can actually just shut up and let Rufus go. But I guess things were too much for me to handle that I couldn't stop myself from venting everything to Rufus. "I wasn't also informed that Prince Fraser and I will be welcoming the guests today. I was even shocked when I saw his highness in my office waiting for me. That's the reason why I couldn't inform you. As for Prin—" My eyes widened when I almost mentioned Princess Paislee. It's a good thing I managed to stop myself in time.

"Prince Fraser being sad today? Didn't you mention just now that you are not the reason for it?"

I nod my head. I originally planned to tell him what happened, but after I almost mentioned Princess Paislee's name, I changed my mind. It's really not good to talk to someone if you're exhausted, or else you will end up telling things you shouldn't have said. So to be safe, I would rather shut my mouth. I just slump my head on the table and sigh. "You should really take a break, Csille. Come on. I'll bring you home."

I shake my head. I would rather stay here than to be with Rufus. Not that I don't want to be with him. I'm just afraid that I might say things that I'll regret in the future. "What do you mean by that? Are you still planning to work? It's almost seven in the evening already. Don't tell me you are planning to overwork yourself again? I know you are busy with your work, but you cannot neglect your health for that. Do you want me to call Doctor Pascal just to scold you?"

I look at Rufus and shake my head. "I'm not planning to work, Rufus. I'll be staying here for tonight. It's the reason why I am telling you to go home now because you don't need to bring me home."

Rufus stares at me for a couple of seconds before he nods his head. "Okay, I will be leaving then. Do you want me to drop by the Lauretré's house to inform the Count and the Countess that you will be staying in the Foundation for tonight?"

I nod my head. "Yes, please. Can you also please assure them that I am not overworking myself and I am only staying here so I can prepare for Prince Christofre's visit tomorrow?"

Rufus frowns. "The guests you welcomed today are from the Aeslaerean Kingdom? And the representative the Aeslaerean sent is Prince Christofre? Isn't he the current Crown Prince of the Aeslaerean Kingdom? Aren't they afraid that someone might harm him while staying here?"

I shrug my shoulders and lean on my chair. "I don't know. Maybe because they know the Vrawyth Kingdom won't harm Prince Christofre. We all know that a simple mistake on our part could be a reason for war. It's probably the reason why King Thoumassin decided to send Prince Christofre here."

Rufus nods his head. "You are right. But Csille, you still need to be careful when you are with Prince Christofre. Although I know he isn't the type of person who will harm anyone without reason, you still need to be careful. He is still from the Aeslaerean Kingdom, and we don't know if he has other purposes in coming here." Rufus stops talking and shakes his head. "No, no. This wouldn't do. I better stay with you tomorrow. You said Prince Christofre will visit the Foundation tomorrow, right?"

I look at Rufus and nod my head. I am grateful for his concern. But why would I need to worry about Prince Christofre? If I already know what will happen in the future? "Yes, but aren't you busy too? Prince Fraser's birthday is coming soon. I know you have a lot of things to work on. So, don't worry about me. I have Prince Fraser with me—"

Rufus makes a face. "And you expect my cousin to protect you. If anyone else, I'm sure he will protect her fir—"Rufus' eyes widen, and he shakes his head after.

Does he mean Princess Paislee? He is right, though. Prince Fraser wouldn't bother saving me. Why would he choose to save the villainess if his beloved female lead is in a dangerous situation too? I just smile at Rufus. "You should head out first. It's already getting late. I'm sure the Duke and the Duchess are already waiting for you. Don't make them worried."

Rufus looks at me hesitantly. He seems like he wants to tell something to me but changes his mind. I look at his back and smile. Soon, you will also choose her over me, Rufus. Soon.
