Chapter 390: : Return

Nôv(el)B\\jnn

I look at Mister Sewell and shake my head. "No, Mister Sewell. It's not about his highness." After much contemplation, I decided to just lie. It's safe to follow the script. We still had a few days before Csille decided to join the other side.

I heard someone scoff. "It's not about him? Then why did I see the carriage of his highness near where I found you crying your heart out. What is it? A coincidence?"

I look at Mister Sewell and nod my head. I need to follow the script, so even if I look like I was lying, I need to do this. "Yes, I'm sure it's only a coincidence. I don't even know he was nearby." I give him a smile. I even ensure that I don't look anxious at all.

Mister Sewell stared at me before I heard him take a deep sigh. "Csille, there is no use lying. I might look like I don't care about what is happening, but I am well aware. You came to the Great Ruler's residence to convince him, right?"

My eyes widened when I heard what Mister Sewell said. I immediately turn my head at him. What does he mean by convincing Ruler Laird? What does this Mister Sewell know?

I heard Mister Sewell heaves a sigh. Then he nods his head while looking at me. "I know. I know the relationship of the Vrawyth Kingdom with the rulers of Illorian City and Alderrdeen City. It's the reason why they were here for Prince Fraser's Birthday Banquet. I also know that the reason why his majesty keeps it as a secret is that he was scared that the other Kingdoms will be enraged."

I just stare at him, bewildered by what is happening. How come he knows the secret relationship?

I feel a shiver in my spine when I remember something. Prince Joachim also knows about this secret relationship. Does it mean other people already know about this?

I anxiously look at Mister Sewell. I need to know how did he know about the relationship. No one should know about it, or else the Vrawyth Kingdom will be in a difficult situation again.

"Mister Sewell, may I know where did you get this information?"

He takes a sip of his tea first before he answers my question. He leans on his chair and stares at the sakura tree. "I know everything, Csille. I may not interact with other people, but it doesn't mean that I wasn't aware of what is happening. I even know that you were the Granddaughter of the Great Ruler."

My eyes widen. How come he knows about it? How can he know that?

Mister Sewell smiles reassuringly at me. "Don't worry. I am not spying on you, Dame Csille. It just so happened that I know everyone's secrets, and that includes yours. But you shouldn't worry about anything. Your secret is safe."

Of course, it is. If he exposed Csille's secret, then it would be impossible for him to make Csille ally with them.

I remain quiet and busy myself watching the sakura tree. My mind couldn't help but wonder how did he manage to know all these secrets.

I was about to take a sip of my tea when Mister Sewell suddenly spoke again. "Csille, does his highness blame you again? Blame you for losing the support of the Illorian City and Alderrdeen City?"

I turn my head and stare at him. He really knows everything. He even knows how Prince Fraser blames me for what is happening. This guy really knows how to play his cards right.

I see him scoff. "So, I am right. He really did." He then shakes his head. "I couldn't believe that he would do that to you. He's really a selfish man."

I laugh bitterly. Isn't he the same? They were all the same. All they ever think about are themselves.

"Yes, he is. He really is."

I remember the words Prince Fraser said to me earlier, and I couldn't help but be in pain.

I was startled when I suddenly felt a hand on my head. I look at Mister Sewell, who is currently caressing my head.

"You don't deserve that kind of treatment, Csille. You are a beautiful lady with a kind heart. Any man would die to be with you. So, I don't understand how he can treat you like that. As if your some garbage that can be easily disposed of."

I immediately turn my head at Mister Sewell. I don't understand why he would he said that. Doesn't the situation favor him? If I continue forcing myself to Prince Fraser, then there is no way I will agree to go against him.

Shouldn't he be happy? Because finally, I am giving up the idea of chasing Prince Fraser. It means he can convince me to side with him.

He takes a deep sigh. "Don't get me wrong. I know I have told you that Prince Fraser doesn't deserve you, and I mean it. He doesn't deserve a kind lady like you. What I mean is, are you just giving up like that? After what he has done to you?"

I frown and just stare at him. I don't understand what he is trying to say. He wants me to give up Prince Fraser, but at the same time, he doesn't?

He probably noticed the confusion in my eyes. I saw him heave a sigh. "He doesn't deserve an easy way out, Csille. All these years, all you wanted to do was to be noticed by him, right? You have done everything just for him to reciprocate your feelings. You even changed yourself for him, but what did you get in return? He humiliated you in front of everyone, and he even wanted to marry you off to his cousin so he could totally get rid of you. How can you just let him off like that, Dame Csille?"

I feel my hand trembles a bit when I hear him mention Prince Fraser wants to marry me off to

Rufus.

How come this guy knows about that? Only my family and the royal family know about that. So, how come he knows it?

Although I have a lot of questions for him, I decided to set them aside. For now, I need to

focus on following the script. Everything that is happening right now is based on the scene I

have written.

The scene where Mister Sewell will successfully brainwashes Csille to go against Prince Fraser. The scene that will change everything.

I shake my head. "I don't understand what you mean, Mister Sewell."

He shrugs his shoulders. "Why don't you return the pain he has inflicted on you?"

I pretend to look at him wide eyed. "Mister Sewell, how can I do that? He is the Crown Prince

of the Vrawyth Kingdom, and I am just a noble. If I harm him in any way, I will be immediately sent to my death."

"And what? Let the person who caused you all this pain to enjoy his life to the fullest? Marry

the love of his life while you, on the other hand, will end up marrying some sketchy noble because I'm sure no decent noble in the Vrawyth Kingdom will marry a lady who was rejected by a royal. Do you want that, Csille? Do you want to suffer all your life while he becomes the King of the Vrawyth Kingdom? Why do you need to suffer if all you ever did was love him? You don't deserve that, Dame Csille."

I stare at Mister Sewell for a couple of seconds. I couldn't help but be amazed by how the conversation was going.

I know I have written this scene, but I was still amazed to see it happen in real life. This man

did a good job being Mister Sewell.

I take a deep breath and bow my head. I pretended that like I was devastated and hopeless about what was happening. "And what can I do? I couldn't do anything at all, Mister Sewell. I probably just need to accept that my life is ruined already." I laugh bitterly.

"You can. Only if you want to."

I look up and stare at him with tears in my eyes. "What do you mean, Mister Sewell?"
