Why Did I Become the Villainess?

 I look out the carriage window, and I sigh in admiration. It's the first time I went out of the Alderrdeen just to stroll around. 

 I only get out of school if I will be doing something related to school or related to volunteering. 

 The Alderrdeen School Of Knowledge already has everything inside its school. There's a small amusement park in there. There's a shop where you can buy almost everything. Some restaurants offer different dishes from many places that are affordable to everyone. 

 A person can not wish for anything. So, Csille didn't find it difficult to stay inside the campus. 

 "Is it your first time outside the Alderrdeen school?" 

 I look at Brother Ernest and shake my head. "Not really. I often do volunteer works outside the school. I also did some school related work. However, it was my first time to get out of Alderrdeen school just for strolling. I didn't realize how beautiful Alderrdeen is. I should have seen it before."

 Brother Ernest gently caresses my head. "That's okay. You still have a semester in Alderrdeen. You can still stroll around it. I can be your tour guide. I'm sure Mother will love to tour you around Alderrdeen too."

 Mother of Brother Ernest? My Mother often told stories about her older sister, who lives far away from Vrawyth. She always told me how sweet and loving my aunt is. Now, I am excited to meet her. 

 Will she likes me? I have weird eye color and hair color. Although most people accepted it without worry, some people still look at me with prejudice, which I cannot blame. It's really difficult to accept something that is out of the norm, especially if that person is a conformist. 

 Brother Ernest probably sees the anxiety in my eyes. She smiles at me. "Don't worry. My Mother will surely like you. Aunt Marcelle always told us how sweet you are, and my Mother was so eager to meet you."

 I smile back at Brother Ernest. Although I am nervous, I still feel excited meeting them. Finally, I can meet my mother's family. 

 The carriage stops in front of a two story house. It's enough to fit two families, but for someone who is used to living in a palace size mansion, it might look small.

 "I apologize if our house is smaller than you expected. Only the four of us stay in this house. That's why Mother decided to make it smaller. Although it's small, it quite spacious inside."

 Small? I live in a studio type dorm in the real world. How can this house be small? 

 I smile at Brother Ernest. "I actually like this kind of house. It's more homey. So, don't worry, Brother."

 Brother Ernest scratched his nape out of embarrassment. I can see his face is starting to get flushed. Even his ears. He probably thinks I just said those words just to make him feel better, and he feels embarrassed about it. 

 He is about to say something, but someone cuts him off. "My dear Ernest. You're already here. Where's my niece?" An older lady who resembles my mother comes out of the house and walks straight to Brother Ernest.

 She then looks around. Her gaze landed on me, and her eyes immediately watered. She rushes towards me and hugs me tightly. "My dear niece. I finally met you. I have been wanting to meet you the moment you arrived in Alderrdeen, but your cousin here warned me not to visit you because he was afraid I'd just disturb you. I hope I didn't disturb you." 

 I hug her tightly. In my real life, I never know what it feels like how to have a family. Let alone an Aunt or cousin. I'm really bless to be Csille. Although I don't like her tragic end, at least I've experienced how it feels like to have a family.

 "Aunt, I'm glad to meet you. Mother mentioned about you before. You also shouldn't worry. I'm glad to be here with you."

 She smiles widely at me. "Let's go inside. I'll introduce you to your Uncle and your cousin. They have been eagerly waiting for you."

 Aunt pulled me inside. What welcomes me is a homey receiving area and an older man and a young lady, probably Csille's age. 

 The older man immediately stands up and walks towards me. "Is this Csille? What they said is really true. You're really a beautiful young lady."

 Aunt gestured her hand at the old man. "My dear, this is your Uncle Faramond Foulqueret. 

Oh, I forgot I haven't formally introduced myself, right? I am you, Aunt Aveline Raunteau Foulqueret. I am your mother's sister." She then gestured her hand to the young lady. "And this is your other cousin, Pax Dea Foulqueret. She's the same age as you."

 They are Csille's relatives. Relatives that I never have. I smile widely at them. "I'm glad to meet you all. I am Csille Raunteau Lauretré."

 Aunt laughs and drags me to the dining area. They have prepared a welcome mini banquet for me. We all laugh and talk about almost everything. 

 After the meal, Aunt and Uncle drag me to ask me how I am doing and tell me a few things about my Mother's past. 

 Aunt gaze lovingly at me. "You surely remind me of your Mother. I heard many good things about you from your cousin. You were just like Marcelle when she was young. A kind hearted soul." 

 Uncle Faramond sighed. "We heard about your engagement with the Crown Prince of the Vrawyth Kingdom. To be honest, we're worried about you and the engagement. I don't understand why would your mother agree to that engagement. Being the Mother of a Kingdom is not an easy life. Are you sure you can do it?"

 Aunt holds my hand anxiously. I can see anxiety in their eyes. I sigh. I'm really touched because they are worried about me. However, it's inevitable. Even if my parents disagree with the engagement, they cannot change Csille's destiny.

 I smile reassuringly at them. "Don't worry, Aunt and Uncle. I was the one who asked Mother and Father about the engagement. Although it will be a rough journey being the Queen, I will try my best to live up to the expectation."

 Aunt and Uncle look at each other before they sigh. Aunt pulled me for a hug. "My dear, if anything happens. You can come to our home, and we will protect you with all our might, alright?"

 I nod my head at her. Although if worst comes to Csille's way, I wish she wouldn't run to her maternal side. 

 Csille's future is devastating and bloody. I don't want to involve the Foulqueret family with her tragic destiny. 

 After our small talk, Pax Dea drags me for a talk. "Sister Csille, what is it like to live in the Vrawyth Kingdom? I have been wanting to visit you and Aunt there. But my Mother and Father don't let me. They are worried that I will become a burden to all of you." 

 I smile at her. "You can come with us after my graduation. Mother and Father will come to Alderrdeen for my Graduation."

 Pax Dea's eyes widen. She then clings to my arms. "Are you serious, cousin? I can really come with you and Aunt?"

 I was about to respond to her when Aunt Aveline cut me off. "Pax Dea! Are you asking your cousin to bring you to the Vrawyth Kingdom? Didn't I already tell you that you cannot go to the Vrawyth Kingdom? Why are you not listening to your mother?"

 Pax Dea whines like a puppy. I smile at her reaction. I look at Aunt Aveline. "Aunt, You shouldn't scold Pax Dea. I was the one who suggested it. She has never gone to the Vrawyth Kingdom so I suggest to her that she can come with us. You can also come if you want. I'm sure Mother will be happy to have you there. What do you think?"

 Aunt and Uncle look at each other and shakes their head. "Let's talk about this when your Mother and Father arrive at Alderrdeen." 

 I nod my head at them. Although I doubt if Father and Mother will have a different opinion than mine. 

 I spend the whole day in the Foulqueret residence. Brother Ernest is supposed to take me back to Alderrdeen School, but Aunt Aveline stops us. She told me to stay here for the night, which I gladly accepted.

 "Sister Csille, what is it like to live in the Vrawyth Kingdom? The most strongest Kingdom among the seven Kingdoms." Pax Dea asked me.

 I will be sleeping with her tonight. Aunt had already prepared a room for me, but Pax Dea pleaded me to sleep with her. Saying it's her first time meeting me and would like to spend more time with me. 

 I look at her. What is it like to live in Vrawyth? Although Csille's life in Vrawyth is peaceful. It doesn't mean that life in it is full of rainbows and such. Csille grew up being subjected to judgment and prejudice. Just because of her appearance and her title. 

 What is it really like to live in Vrawyth as Csille Lauretré? 

 I smile at her. "Life in Vrawyth is just similar to the life in Alderrdeen. Although we're more advanced at some things but it's almost the same. But if you're talking about how I live in Vrawyth. It is great at the same time terrible. But as long as I have Mother, Father, and Brother Pascal, then I won't mind facing those problems."

 Pax Dea sighed. "We're the same age, but you already achieved many things in life. You're a Gold Exemplar, and now you're one of the most outstanding students of Alderrdeen School Of Knowledge. But here I am, I couldn't even get an invitation from Alderrdeen School of Knowledge although my Brother is already a Professor there."

 I look at Pax Dea and gently caress her head. "You shouldn't compare my life to yours. My life is actually pretty boring, unlike yours. I heard from Aunt that your boutique is doing well. That's an achievement I cannot do since I'm terrible at dressmaking."

 The both of us laugh. 

 "Sister Csille. I really envy you. You're so beautiful, and you're an intelligent person. I'm sure his highness, Prince Fraser, is deeply in love with you." She said dreamily.

 Prince Fraser deeply in love with Csille? That can only happen in Csille's dream. Prince Fraser will only love one person in this lifetime, and it's Princess Paislee and not Csille. 

 I just smile at her and continue reading the book. It's better not to say anything. I'm afraid if I'll answer her, I'll say something I shouldn't be saying.

 "Sister Csille?"

 I look at her and smile. "Yes?"

 "Don't you like Prince Fraser? Are you just forced with the engagement?" She asks worriedly. I can clearly hear the concern in her voice.

 Csille? Force to be engaged with Prince Fraser? It's more like the other way around. 

 "I like him, of course. I wouldn't agree with the engagement if I disagree with it, and I'm not forced. In fact, I was the one who asked Mother and Father about it."

 Pax Dea gasped. "It was you who suggested the engagement? But how come you become engaged with the Crown Prince? I heard that for the Crown Prince's engagement, you need to have the King and the Queen's approval."

 "The Lauretré family and the Astalieu family have been on friendly terms since the start of the empire. Father helps the current King in his early days as the King of the Vrawyth Kingdom. So when I was born, they had a conversation that if I developed feelings for Prince Fraser, then they will engage us."

 Pax Dea squeal. "So you end up liking him?"

 "You can say. When I first met Prince Fraser in one of the banquets held in the Palace, I had a crush on him. Then I told my mother about it, and the rest is history. I didn't expect that because of that, I will be engaged with his highness, Prince Fraser."

 Pax Dea squeals again. "How about Prince Fraser? Did he likes you?"

 I sigh. I put the book down and lie down. "Let's talk about this tomorrow, okay? It's already late. I stills need to return to Alderrdeen school."

 I'm sorry, Pax Dea.. As much as I want to answer your question but I don't want you to get disappointed.
