Why Did I Become the Villainess?

 The remaining days come in a flash. Lilla passed the presentation as expected. The second week of the presentation finished, and almost half of the students didn't pass again.

 More than half of our batch is the only one allowed to graduate. However, we still need to take the final examination, and we need to pass it before we can graduate.

 We just finished our exam, and we are now free to do what we want to do. We will just need to submit some paper for us to graduate, and after that, we can now do our thing. 

 We have an option to either return to our home or to stay here and wait for our graduation. But since the Vrawyth Kingdom is far from Alderrdeen, I decided not to return home and just wait for the graduation.

 Our graduation is set two weeks from now. My parents already started their journey from the Vrawyth Kingdom to here two weeks ago. They will arrive here a few days before graduation.

 All of our classmates who couldn't graduate already bid their goodbyes and left the Alderrdeen. While those students, who will attend the graduation, that live in nearby cities all went home to inform their families about their graduation, and that includes Lilla.

 Lilla held my hand tightly. "Lady Csille, I will miss you. Are you sure you want to stay here? You can come with me for a while. We will return to Alderrdeen before graduation. My parents definitely won't mind."

 I smile at Lilla and shake my head. "No, I'm okay. But thank you for the offer. I'll just see you in two weeks' time, okay?"

 Lilla's offer is actually tempting. However, I remember I promised Pax Dea that I would spend some time with her after I finished the school year. That's why I declined Lilla.

 Lilla holds on to my hand tightly before she gets into the carriage that will bring her home. I just wave my hand at her and watch her carriage disappear from my sight.

 After sending off Lilla, I start to get my things down. Brother Ernest will be fetching me today, and I will spend the remaining days before my graduation in the Foulqueret residence.

 A moment later, a carriage stops in front of me, and Brother Ernest descends from the carriage. He smiles widely at me.

 "Are you ready? Is this all your things?" Brother Ernest takes the luggage from my hand. 

 I nod my head at him. "It's all my things."

 "I'll just put your luggage in the back. You can get inside the carriage first."

 I follow Brother Ernest and wait for him to finish loading my luggage. I don't have a lot of luggage with me, only two medium luggage. 

 After Brother Ernest put my luggage in place, we immediately set off to their house. The first half of our trip was silent. Brother Ernest remains looking outside the window, and since I don't have anything to say to him, I just keep my mouth shut too.

 "Csille, is Prince Fraser treating you right?" Brother Ernest suddenly asks.

 I look at him, and he stares back at me. Is he worried that Prince Fraser is treating me badly? 

 I just give him a reassuring smile. "You shouldn't worry, Brother. Prince Fraser is treating me right. We have known each other since we were young. So, I can assure you that he is a good man. You can ask Mother and Father about it when they arrive here. I'm sure they will give you the same answer."

 Brother Ernest sigh and gently pats my head. "Although I wasn't by your side most of your life, I still want you to know that no matter what happened, I will be here for you. We are all here for you, Csille."

 I smile at Brother Ernest. I can definitely feel the love and concern they have for me. 

 The real Csille is really lucky to have a family who loves her unconditionally and is always there for her no matter what. 

 I just realized that Csille Lauretré is the opposite person of Ysavel Vlahos. Csille is beautiful, smart, and has a loving family. While I had an average look and intelligence. I also don't have any family. 

 Is it my reason why I made Csille the Villainess? Because I can never be her? And deep inside of me, I envy her? 

 "Csille?"

 I blink my eyes and look at Brother Ernest. "I know, Brother. I always know, and I'm grateful for that. But there's nothing to worry about. Prince Fraser is a great man, and I can assure you on my name that he won't do anything that could hurt or harm me."

 Not for now. But soon. I'm sure they will have something to be worried about. I'm sure Prince Fraser will do something that would both hurt and harm me. Physically and emotionally.

 Brother Ernest nods his head in satisfaction. "Then I would be assured then."

 After that, Brother Ernest and I talk about other things. He asked me things about the Vrawyth Kingdom and many more. 

 I was so engrossed with our conversation that I didn't realize that the carriage had already stopped. I look outside the window and see Aunt Aveline, Uncle Faramond, and Pax Dea waiting outside their house.

 Brother Ernest chuckled. "When they heard that you want to stay here until your graduation comes, they almost fetch you in School. Look how excited they are."

 I chuckled too and got off the carriage. The moment I step out of the carriage, Aunt Aveline rushes to hug me. 

 "My dear Csille. You're finally here. We have been waiting for you the whole day. Come inside we have prepared Vrawyth food because I know you like it. Although, please forgive your Aunt if the taste isn't comparable to the ones you eat in Vrawyth. I'm still learning to cook it."

 Pax Dea giggles and she clings to my left arm. "Csille, you should see how anxious Mother she was while she cooked those dishes. Come on. You'll be the judge. I want to know if it really tastes Vrawyth food."

 Aunt Aveline and Pax Dea pull me inside their home. I wasn't able to greet Uncle Faramond because of it. 

 "Look at how your Mother and Sister treat us after Csille comes here. They immediately forgot about us." 

 I heard Uncle Faramond say. Although he is complaining, his tone doesn't sound like complaining at all. It's more like he is teasing. 

 I feel warmth slowly growing inside of me. Even up until now, I still couldn't get used to the warmth family gives. 

 Can I be able to live alone again? To live as an orphan again in the real world?

 Aunt Aveline and Pax Dea let me taste test each Vrawyth food Aunt Aveline made. I was shocked when most of the food tasted just like how my mother cooked it. 

 I suddenly hug Aunt Aveline. It's been a long time since I've spent time with the Countess. After the Grand Exemplary Competition five years ago, I wasn't able to spend time with her because I immediately returned to my dormitory. And after the school year ended, the letter of invitation from Alderrdeen was sent on semester break. So, I was immediately sent off to Alderrdeen to study.

 The dishes that Aunt Aveline cooked made me miss my Mother. 

 Aunt Aveline was startled by my sudden hug, but she still caressed my back as if consoling me. She probably knows that I'm missing my parents now. 

 Although the Count and the Countess are not my birth parents, I still feel attached to them. It's probably because of Csille, or it's probably because I just crave for parental love.

 After a few moments, I break from the hug and wipe the tears that rolled down my face. I didn't even realize I was crying. 

 Aunt Aveline looks at me and sighs. "I'm sure you miss your parents now. But don't worry, we will keep you company while we wait for your parent's arrival."

 Pax Dea, who is standing beside me, suddenly grabs my arms. "Mother, can I borrow, Csille for a minute? I just want to ask her a few questions."

 Aunt Aveline is just about to answer Pax Dea, but she already drags me towards the second floor of their house. She then locks the two of us inside her room.

 Pax Dea looks at me and scratches her name. "Csille, I'm sorry. I was just too excited to be with you. Do you know how excited I was when I heard from Brother that you will be staying here?"

 I just chuckled at her cute reactions. She looks cute. "That's okay. I find it actually cute. However, is it really okay for you to do that to Aunt Aveline? Won't she get mad at you after?"

 Pax Dea pouts and pulls me to sit on her bed. "Don't mind, Mother. She'll just scold me at most, but it'll disappear in just a few minutes, so you shouldn't worry."

 Pax Dea looks at me and bites her lower lip. It seems like she wants to ask something to me, but she's hesitating. 

 I smile at her reassuringly. "I thought you have questions you want to ask me? What is it? You can tell me."

 Pax Dea inch closer to me. "Csille, are your words still valid?"

 I frown. My words? What words? 

 Pax Dea probably noticed the confusion in my eyes. "The promise you made to me the last time. You said I could come with you, Aunt Marcelle, right? Is it true? Can I really come with you to the Vrawyth Kingdom?"

 I tried to remember if I had written something like this to my novel. However, since the novel focuses more on Princess Paislee and Prince Fraser, I couldn't remember if I had written that Pax Dea would come to the Vrawyth Kingdom.

 I sigh. "There is no problem on my part. I actually like to show you around the Vrawyth Kingdom. However, we still need to reconsider Aunt Aveline and Uncle Faramond's permission. Aside from them, we should also talk to my parents about it."

 Pad Dea pouts. She then slumps half of her body on her bed. "That's so unfair. My parents won't definitely agree with it. But I really want to visit the Vrawyth Kingdom. All my life Alderrdeen is the only place I have been to. Can't I have the chance to enjoy the place outside Alderrdeen's wall?"

 I look at Pax Dea and sigh. As much as I want to comfort her. I don't know any words that would make her feel better. 

 I understand why Aunt Aveline and Uncle Faramond won't let Pax Dea outside the Alderrdeen. It's because the world outside is now all rainbows and sunshine. 

 Especially, the Foulqueret Family holds the position of being the wealthiest businessman in the Alderrdeen. There are people who want to take them down. Aunt and Uncle are just protecting her from any harm. But it seems like Pax Dea didn't understand this. 

 "Okay, how about this? I'll try to help you talk to Aunt Aveline, and when my parents arrive here, I'll try to convince them too. But I couldn't guarantee that they will give you permission. But trying is better than giving up, right?"

 Pax Dea hugs me. "You are really an angel, Csille. That's why I love you. You're my favorite cousin now."

 I laugh at Pax Dea. Of course, I will be her favorite cousin because, aside from me, she doesn't have any other cousins.

 Uncle Faramond doesn't have any siblings, and Aunt Eveline only has my Mother as her sibling. And since I am the only daughter of my Mother, it means I am her only cousin.

 A moment after, Aunt Aveline called us for dinner. We spend dinner laughing and having fun. After dinner, we talk about almost everything while watching the firewood burning in the fireplace.

 At night, Pax Dea asks me to sleep with her, which I agree. Pax Dea reminds me of Lena. Although Lena and Pax Dea's personalities are contrary to each other, I couldn't help but remember Lena every time I talked to her. 

 In the end, we almost spend the whole night talking about mostly everything.. We didn't even realize that we both fell asleep sleeping.
