Why Did I Become the Villainess?

 Father and Mother left the house first because they had a lot of things to do today. It will probably take two to three days before they can accompany us. 

 Brother Pascal, Pax Dea, and I are only waiting for Rufus to arrive. 

 Pax Dea looks at the door a couple of times now. "Csille, are you sure his highness, Prince Rufus, will come with us? It's been an hour now, and he is still not here."

 I look at the clock. It's only seven in the morning. I'm sure that guy overslept again like he usually does. 

 "Don't worry. I'm sure he is on his way now. You should just wait."

 I look at Brother Pascal, who is busy reading the research that Principal Germund gave to him. "Brother Pascal, are you sure you want to come with us? You can stay here if you want."

 He put the research he was reading and smiled at me. "I am sure. Also, how can I let you tour around the Vrawyth Kingdom? Especially now that you will be soon engaged with Prince Fraser. I'm sure there are many people who would like to harm you. I cannot rest assured here if I let you alone."

 I look at Brother Pascal gratefully. I'm really grateful for him. I can feel the love and care he has for Csille. 

 "Thank you, Brother. I'm just worried that you would find this boring. After all, you are not used with all of this."

 "Everyone can be used to something as long as it concerns about people they care about. I care about you, Csille."

 Pax Dea, who is sitting beside me, sighs. "If my Brother could be this nice to me, I would probably not leave his side."

 I laugh at Pax Dea. Brother Ernest is not that bad as a Brother. He is actually caring too, but he just likes to tease Pax Dea often times that's why Pax Dea could say that. 

 "I'm sure Brother Ernest would scold you again if he hears that."

 Pax Dea just made a face but didn't say something. 

 We all waited for a couple of minutes more before the front door opened. A smiling Rufus enters the house. "Good morning. I'm sorry if I'm late. I was up until midnight because of something urgent in the monarch." He looks at Pax Dea. "You're Pax Dea, right? It was nice seeing you here. Welcome to the Vrawyth Kingdom. "

 Pax Dea holds my arms tightly. "Greetings, your highness, Prince Rufus. Thank you for your warm welcome. I actually couldn't wait to explore the Vrawyth Kingdom. With you here, I'm sure this will be a fun day."

 He smiles at Pax Dea. "Oh, sure it will be." He then looks at Brother Pascal. "Doctor Pascal? I didn't expect you would be here, but I'm glad you're coming with us. The more, the merrier."

 Brother Pascal bows his head. "Greetings, your highness, Prince Rufus. I'm glad you don't mind me accompanying all of you."

 I roll my eyes at Rufus. He and his grand entrance. Is he histrionic? 

 I stand up and pull Pax Dea outside. There is already a carriage waiting for us. "Come on, let's get moving."

 Ther boutiques placed close to the entrance of the Vrawyth Kingdom are mostly owned by foreign businessmen. Most common people would go there to shop. I sometimes go there too to buy things. 

 However, since it's an hour away from our house, I usually shop at the stores nearby. The stores here are owned by Vrawyth people, and most of the things they are selling are of the highest quality compared to the items produced by foreigners.

 We decided to use the Lauretré carriage instead of the Astalieu's carriage because we didn't want to cause much commotion.

 "Csille, are there many boutiques here?" Pax Dea suddenly asks.

 I was about to answer her, but Rufus cut me first. "There are probably more than ten boutiques here. Plus those more than ten boutiques close to the entrance. Also, we have other boutiques in some other regions of the Vrawyth Kingdom. One week is probably not enough to visit all of those."

 Pax Dea gasped. "That's a lot. In Alderrdeen, there are only ten boutiques, including mine."

 "That is because the Vrawyth is thirty times bigger than Alderrdeen. It's the reason why there are already more than twenty boutiques in the capital." Brother Pascal, who is silently watching the surrounding outside the window, suddenly speak.

 Rufus nods his head in agreement. "That is true. Anyway, I didn't know you have a Boutique in Alderrdeen. You should have mentioned it before, so I can visit it and buy a few sets for me."

 Pax Dea looks at me. "I apologize, Prince Rufus. It just slipped my mind. But I could make you a set if you want. I just need things for sewing. If you only want, of course."

 Rufus smile. "That's okay. I don't want to take a few hours from your short vacation. I know sewing takes a lot of time."

 Pax Dea looks at Rufus admiringly. "Thank you for your consideration, Prince Rufus. Don't worry, once I return to Alderrdeen, I will send a few sets for you."

 Rufus thanks Pax Dea, and the carriage is engulfed with silence again. It's the kind of silence that is comforting rather than being awkward.

 The carriage stops in front of one of the famous boutiques nearby. Most noble people come here to buy dresses or to request a customized dress for themselves.

 The coachman opens the door of the carriage. Brother Pascal gets down first, followed by Rufus. Brother Pascal helped both of us, Pax Dea and I, get off the carriage.

 Pax Dea immediately looks around, and her gaze falls to the huge boutique in front of us. 

"Noble Silhouette. The name itself is already noble. I'm sure the clothing they sell is high quality."

 I cling my arms to Pax Dea. "You are right. This is one of the famous boutiques in the Vrawyth Kingdom. Many nobles buy dresses from here. They also made customized dresses that's why many nobles like them. Even my Mother has bought customized dresses made from here before."

 Pax Dea nods her head and looks admiringly around. "Let's go inside, Csille. I want to see their creation."

 I pull Pax Dea towards the entrance. The guards stop us. I frown. I took the hood that was covering my head and looked at the guards. They immediately opened the door when they recognized who I was.

 "Lady Csille! Please, forgive us for not recognizing you immediately. However, this lady," the guard look at Pax Dea. "May I know who is this lady with you?"

 "She is a friend of mine. She's from Alderrdeen City. Is that enough reason for you to let us in?"

 When the guard hears the Alderrdeen City, his face becomes pale. I ignored him and walked inside the boutique.

 Brother Pascal and Rufus didn't say anything and just followed behind us.

 Pax Dea tugs my arms. "Is the guard okay? Why did he suddenly turn pale when he heard where I am from?"

 "It's because of the reputation of the Alderrdeen City. You know that both the Alderrdeen and the Illorian City have the same importance to the Great Seven Kingdoms. No one from any Kingdom is wise enough to go against any people from those two Cities." I explain to her.

 Pax Dea just nods her head. She then gasped when we walked to the ready made dress section of the boutique. There are only a few people inside. 

 I look at Rufus and Brother Pascal, who finds a seat to wait. They both nod their head at me. 

 I looked back to Pax Dea, but I frowned when I didn't see her. I check the first aisle of racks, but she is nowhere to be found. I tried to look to other isles of racks, but I couldn't find her too.

 I was about to ask for help from Rufus and Brother Pascal when I heard a familiar voice.

 "I was just looking around. Is there something wrong with that?" 

 That's Dea's voice! I follow where the voice is.

 I suddenly heard taunting voices. "Do you have money to pay for that dress? Do you know that Noble Silhouette only sells things to nobles? You heard that right. Nobles. Do you think you are even fit to hold that dress?"

 I frown when I see several noble ladies around Pax Dea. I immediately walked towards them and pushed those noble brats.

 They all shout because of what I did. The lady who is mocking Pax Dea earlier glares at me. However, her eyes widened when she realized who am I.

 "La-lady Csi-csille!"

 I raised my eyebrow at her and smirked. "Surprise? Why do you sound so scared? Aren't you acting so high and mighty earlier? Where does that braveness go?" I glare at these bunch of spoiled brats. "She is my friend from Alderrdeen City. Have you heard the surname Foulqueret? Yes, she is the only daughter of the Foulqueret family. How dare you disrespect her? Is this how the nobles of the Vrawyth Kingdom are?"

 They all shivered. These bunch of spoiled brats are from the noble family who are lowest among the hierarchy of nobility. It's the reason why they only mock those people that are not nobles. 

 Too bad, they just mocked the cousin of Csille Lauretré. How can I just let them go away?

 Pax Dea tugs my arms. "Csille, that's okay. Let them go. I don't want to put the Lauretré family in a tight spot."

 I sigh and wave my hand at them. The noble ladies immediately walk out of the boutique in a flash.

 I look at Pax Dea and sigh. "Dea, you shouldn't worry about the Lauretré family. We have been in a tight spot ever since the rise of the Vrawyth Kingdom. However, no matter what they do, they cannot bring us down. Anyway, have you found something you like?"

 Pax Dea looks at me for a couple of seconds before she sighs. She probably wants to say something to me but changes her mind. 

 She then shows me some dresses that she likes. However, she didn't like it for herself but for me. She told me that the design of the dress and its color definitely suit my eyes and my hair.

 In the end, we end up buying a couple of dresses for me and two dresses for her. We also visited other boutiques nearby, and just like in Noble Silhouette, Pax Dea chose a dress for Mother or me and chose two to three dresses for herself.

 I tried to stop her from choosing dresses for me because I already had enough dresses for myself, but she kept insisting. In the end, I just let her do what she wanted. After all, she will stay in the Vrawyth Kingdom for a week only. Better make the most of it for her.

 After visiting five boutiques, we decided to eat our lunch first before going to the Ruins.

 Pax Dea sighs in happiness. She then clings to my arms. "Csille, I was really happy. Thank you for letting me choose dresses for you. Although I wish I could pay for those too but their prices are way too high. If I were the one who made it, it would be three times cheaper."

 I smile at Pax Dea. "That's okay. I'm sure Mother will be happy to know that you're the one who chose those dresses for her. You don't know how much my Mother has been complaining lately that she only has a few clothes. It's a good thing I have a designer cousin. I'm sure Mother will look absolutely beautiful with those dresses."

 Pax Dea shyly smiled at me and ate her food. 

 I look at Rufus and Brother Pascal, who are silent eating their lunch, and I almost laugh because of their faces. They look so tired. They probably got tired from following us the whole morning. They are also the one who takes the boxes of dresses to the carriage.

 They let the coachman bring those dresses back to the Lauretré first since there are no spaces already in the carriage.

 Aside from dresses. We also end up buying sets for Father, Brother Pascal, and Rufus too. 

 "Purplany, are you sure you want to go to the Ruins? Have you mentioned to Pax Dea the stories about it?"

 Pax Dea looks at me. "Stories?"
