Why Did I Become the Villainess?

 I am absentmindedly walking towards my room when someone calls my name. I froze on my step. Who is it? I slowly look back, and I sigh when I see Prince William Joachim being pushed by his guard. 

 "Professor Joachim. What are you doing here? Do you need something?"

 I was exhausted. Lilla kept bugging me to meet Prince Fraser, but I refused it. Prince Fraser is busy talking with the Principal and the Professors. Also, it will be out of script if I show myself to him.

 It's already a good thing that the real Csille didn't control my body when Prince Fraser's carriage moved past us. Maybe because what I want to do and what Csille is supposed to do coincide. 

 I didn't want to show myself to him because I was scared of what could happen. The real Csille doesn't want to show herself because she doesn't want to be in the center of attention. 

 If she approaches Prince Fraser, I'm sure everyone will be excited to see how Prince Fraser and Csille interacts. That's what she doesn't want. Also, she's afraid that Prince Fraser will misunderstand her again. So, she just watches on the sideline. 

 Prince Joachim clears his throat. "I am here to remind you to look for me tomorrow. I have something to talk to you about your research."

 My mind immediately got awakened because of the word research. Yeah, how can I forget about my research and about my exams? 

 I nod my head at him. "I take note of that, Professor. I'll see you after I finish my two exams tomorrow."

 I only had three exams to take. I had two tomorrow and if I finished it. I can focus more on my research. 

 "Lady Csille, are you happy?"

 I look at Prince Joachim. I don't understand why he would suddenly ask me that question. 

 Happy? Can the Villainess be happy? 

 "May I know why do you want to know if I am happy?" As far as I know, it doesn't concern him if I am happy or not. So, why?

 Prince Joachim shakes his head and smiles. "I just want to know if you're happy. Prince Fraser already arrived today. I'm sure you're ecstatic to meet him."

 I just smile at him. I am happy to see him, yes, but I'm also sad because this time, I know the Prince Fraser I know was gone already. 

 "If there's nothing else. I'll be resting now, Professor. Thank you for reminding me to see you tomorrow."

 I didn't wait for him to answer me. I just close my door. I smile bitterly at myself. 

 How I wish I could be truly happy. But I know that's just wishful thinking.

________________________________

 I took a deep breath and turned in my exam paper to my Professor. I'm not that confident with this exam. 

 The Professor looks at me. "This is the first time I've seen you turn in your paper late. Are you okay, Lady Csille?"

 I smile at her and nod my head. "I'm okay, Professor. I was just making sure that my answer is right." I give her my exam scheduler, and she immediately stamps it. 

 "I suggest you visit the clinic after this. You look pale." 

 I just nod my head at her and walk out of the room. How can I not look pale? I was worried the whole day because Prince Fraser and Csille would meet today. 

 Am I ready to see him again? This time his already nineteen years old. Pass the legal age. Will it be difficult for me to control my feelings for him? Especially he looks so handsome now.

 I was about to turn into a corner when someone hugged me from behind, all of a sudden. I look back and find Lilla.

 I laugh. "What is it? Why are you hugging me like that?"

 Lilla let go of me. "I've seen Prince Fraser. he is in the Principal office right now. Aren't you going to meet him? Can you introduce me to him?"

 I raised my eyebrow at her. This girl. Does she have a crush on someone who is engaged with someone? I'm not jealous or something I just don't understand it. I will never like someone who is already in a relationship or engaged with someone.

 Lilla shakes her hand. "Lady Csille, please don't misunderstand. I don't have any feelings for Prince Fraser. I only admire him for being a great person. It's not every day I will meet someone like him. So, please."

 I sighed, as much as I wanted to meet him, and introduced Lilla to him. I don't have the full control of my body, and I don't know if it'll affect the story. 

 "I'm sorry, Lilla. But I need to see Professor Joachim today. He said he needed to talk to me about my research. Maybe some other time."

 Lilla nods her head. "That's okay. I know you're busy. I'm already okay that you agree with my request. I'll be going now, then. I still need to take one exam. I'll see you later." She then walks away hurriedly. 

 I look at Lilla's back and sigh. If only I'm not tied with the story. But I don't have any other choice.

 I walk out of the building and walk towards the open field. Based on what I have written, Csille and Prince Fraser will meet each other in the open field.

 I sit on one of the benches and prepare myself for Prince Fraser's arrival. I took one of my books and read it. I still have an exam tomorrow, and that's my last exam. After the midterm exam, I need to focus on finalizing my research, and I need to prepare for my presentation. 

 I heard a loud sound like something falling on the ground. I looked up and found a lady picking up her books on the ground. I immediately stood up and helped her pick her things.

 "Are you okay?" I look at her bleeding knees. "It's bleeding. Do you need some help? I can bring you to the clinic." 

 The lady looks at me and gasp. "Lady Csille!" She clumsily picks her books. "I'm-I... o-ok-ay." She stuttered. 

 I look at her with amusement in my eyes. She looks so cute. I helped her pick her books and helped her stand up. "Are you sure your okay? The clinic isn't far from here. I can bring you there."

 The lady shakes her head. I can see her face is already red now. Is she flustered because of ... me?

 "Thank you very much, Lady Csille. I'll just walk myself there." She then fled like lightning. 

 I look at her back and chuckle. Throughout Csille's stay here, there are countless times that she experienced like this. People are flustered just by talking to her. 

 "Lady Csille."

 The moment I heard that voice, I immediately lost control over my body. 

 Csille looks back, and her eyes immediately glisten when she sees Prince Fraser and Princess Paislee standing a few meters away from her.

 "Prince Fraser." She mumbles to herself.

 She then does a curtsy after. "Your highness, Prince Fraser. It was nice meeting you again. I hope you're doing well all these years."

 Csille looks at Princess Paislee and smiles at her. "Sir Farren, it's been a long time when I last saw you. Welcome to the Alderrdeen School of Knowledge."

 Princess Paislee smile at Csille. While Prince Fraser just stares at her. Csille feels anxious being stared by Prince Fraser. So, she immediately excuses herself. If he keeps staring at her, she's afraid she'll lose control of herself and run towards him. 

 "Your highness, Prince Fraser. Sir Farren, I'll excuse myself. I still need to do something. I hope you enjoy your stay here."

 Csille is about to leave right away, but her steps halt when she hears Prince Fraser call her. 

 "Csille."

 Csille felt her heart beats. It's been a long time since she heard and saw his face. Every time she returned to the Vrawyth Kingdom for semester break, Prince Fraser was out of the Kingdom. So, it's the first time she see him after five years. 

 When she saw him earlier, she almost ran to him and hug him tight. But she knows Prince Fraser won't like it. So, she stops herself. 

 Csille looks back at Prince Fraser. "Yes, your highness? Do you need anything?"

 Prince Fraser stares at her for a couple of seconds before he sighs. "I'm glad to see you again. I heard you're doing great here in Alderrdeen. I'm proud of you."

 Csille eyes glistened. She tried her best not to cry in front of him. She smile at him. A genuine one. "Thank you, your highness. It's a great honor for me to be part of the Alderrdeen School of Knowledge." 

 Prince Fraser just stared at her and didn't say anything. Csille anxiously looks at her clock. "If you'll excuse me, your highness, I need to see my Professor now."

 She then walks straight to where Prince Joachim's office is. While walking, she puts her hand on her chest. Her heart is beating so loudly right now because of Prince Fraser's words.

 It's the first time. It's the first time she heard Prince Fraser say he's proud of her, and she feels so happy as if she's floating on cloud nine.

________________________________

 I yawn and stretch my arms upward. I just finished talking to Prince Joachim about my research. I was too exhausted the whole day. I took two exams today, and right after the exam, I met Prince Fraser. I also met Prince Joachim for my research. 

 I'm on the finalization of my research. I just need to revise it for the last time, and I can start preparing for my presentation.

 After the real Csille took over my body, I immediately got the control of my body the moment I looked for Prince Joachim. It's probably because Csille was out of the picture in the novel at that time.

 I look outside the window. I am now walking in the hallway of the Professor's offices. The Professor has a building for their offices. Every teaching staff of the Alderrdeen School of Knowledge has its own office.

 Prince Fraser... 

 I lean on the wall of the hallway and close my eyes for a moment. I want to remember him. I want to remember Prince Fraser. The old Prince Fraser and the current Prince Fraser. 

 He has changed already. How his appearance changes from a young ill-tempered boy to a cold calm young man. Not only his appearance change, even the aura around him changed. He looks like a legit heir of the throne now. 

 But the only thing the remains is the fact that Prince Fraser won't fall in love with Csille. I smile bitterly at myself.

 I suddenly remember the words Prince Fraser said to the real Csille. He's proud of her? Although I have written the scene that happened earlier, I still couldn't believe that Prince Fraser would say those words to Csille. After all, he used to hate her five years ago. 

 "Lady Csille?"

 I immediately open my eyes and find Princess Paislee staring at me. 

 "Are you okay, Lady Csille? You look tired."

 I just smile at her. Princess Paislee Saintizin. The Crown Princess of the Aeslaerean Kingdom and the female lead of the novel. It's been five years, but she still cares about Csille. She's really deserving of being the female lead. Always kind to people. 

 "I'm okay, Sir Farren." I look around anxiously. Is Prince Fraser is here? 

 "His highness, Prince Fraser is not with me. He is already resting in his room. I just came here to talk to the Professors. We will be staying here as a student for two weeks. I just got our schedule for our whole stays here."

 I nod my head at her. "I hope you enjoy your stay here then." I look at my wristwatch. I didn't realize it was late already. "It was nice talking to you, Sir Farren. As much as I want to spend more time talking to you, but I need to get going now. I still have an exam to take tomorrow."

 I was about to make my move, but Princess Paislee stopped me. "Lady Csille. Can I talk to you?"

 I look at Princess Paislee and frown. Talk?
