Why Did I Become the Villainess?

Chapter 134 - : Haunting Dreams

 I decided to stop the carriage in front of the pastry shop that I have visited before. It's a few minutes walk from the Vrawyth residence. 

 "Are you sure you want me to drop you off here? My father specifically instructs me to drop you in front of the Vrawyth residence."

 I shake my head at the young man. "I'm sure. I cannot let anyone knows that I was out the whole night. You can watch me from here, and you can just leave after you see me enter the gate of the residence." I point my finger at the gate of the Vrawyth residence.

 I cannot let people know that I wasn't sick, and I just sneak out. I heard the young man sighed. "Okay, I won't leave until I make sure that you enter the Vrawyth residence safely. If something happened to you, I would run towards you immediately. That's the only thing I could compromise."

 I smile gratefully at him. "Thank you for bringing me home." I took the pouch full of centimes. "Here, take this. It's a sign of my thanks for all the things you did to me today."

 The young man immediately shakes his head. "You don't need Lady Csille. Ruler Laird already gave us rewards for this."

 I shake my head. "I insist. Takes this, or I will be mad at you." The young man immediately takes the hand from my hand. "Although it cannot be compared to what the Great Ruler gave you, but I hope it can help."

 The young man look at me with his teary eyes. "Thank you very much, Lady Csille. You don't know how much this will help us." He then bows his head at me.

 I smile at him. "I am hoping to see you in the Illorian City next time we see each other." After saying those words, I immediately get off the carriage.

 Just like how I arrived in front of the gate of the Illorian City, I am holding a basket full of vegetables and fruits. This trick never gets old.

 I walk through the streets head down. I cannot let people see my eyes. Especially that the sun is starting to rise now. It's already six thirty in the morning. 

 It's a good thing I arrived early. I'm pretty sure those people are still resting. The breakfast usually starts at seven in the morning. 

 I stop in front of the gate of the Vrawyth Kingdom. The guards immediately stop me from walking. 

 "Who are you? Raise your head." One of the guards shouts at me. 

 This is my only problem. Can I let them know that I got out? 

 "Hey! Are you deaf! We said raise your head, or else we won't have any choice but to do something against you."

 I sigh. I guess I have no choice then. I make sure that no one is around before I raise my head for a couple of minutes. "I'm sorry. The chef asked me to buy ingredients for the food this morning. I hope you won't sell me out to the Vrawyth representatives." 

 I take several centimes and inconspicuously put it inside of the hands of one of the guards. 

 "You should have said earlier. We almost didn't recognize." One of the guards said before he opens the gate.

 I immediately enter the house and sigh. Finally! I am inside the Vrawyth residence again. All I need is to enter my room without anyone noticing me. 

 If I enter my room as a maid. It will probably takes time since many maids are busy preparing for breakfast this time around. If a maid sees me again. She might mistake me as a real maid. I cannot let that happen.

 If I enter my room as Csille, it won't be a big issue since I am Csille and I can get inside my room in no time. 

 I walk towards the storage room for tools. It's a good thing I prepared the things beforehand. I already have prepared a gown in here. I notice that there is a secret safe in the storage room, and that is where I put my dress. 

 I immediately close the door of the storage room and changes my clothes. This time it is the typical clothes Csille wears. I put the maid's clothes inside the secret safe. I'll just keep it. Maybe I can still use it some other time. I fix everything up, my hair and my clothing, before I open the door. I make sure that no one is around before I run towards the building where we are staying.

 After making sure that maids are still busy cooking, I take this opportunity to run towards my room on the second floor. I immediately look for my key and anxiously opens my door. 

 Any moment from now, one of the rooms will open, and I cannot let anyone see me. Especially Prince Fraser. As much as possible, I still don't want to see him. For now. 

 My heart is still hurting for the decision I just made. I'm afraid that if I see him, everything will change. I immediately sigh in relief when my door opens.

 I immediately went inside my room and slump on the floor. I almost have a heart attack because of that. I don't plan on letting them know that I sneak out. Although I know Prince Fraser wouldn't probably care about that anymore. He probably hates me now.

 I crawl to my bed and takes the wooden box. I sigh. "All I did for the safety of everyone. I'm tired." I put the wooden box inside the cabinet on my side table and sleep on the bed. 

 I think I badly need a rest.

______________________________________________

 I found myself inside a school. However, this isn't my school. This isn't Vrawyth High School of the Nobles. It looks like it's the Royal University of Vrawyth. But what I am doing here? Did Rufus ask me to go in here? But if he did, where is he?

 I continue walking around the campus. I frowned when I realized I couldn't find any student inside the university.

 Is there some kind of event today? That's why there are no people around? I continue walking around the campus until I spot two guys standing under the shade of the tree. They were facing each other.

 The two are far from my place so I couldn't really see their faces and I don't want to walk further because I was afraid I would interrupt them. 

 The two guys are talking to each other. I couldn't hear what they were talking about because of our distance. I look at the uniform the two are wearing. It seems like they are University students here, and they are both in their third year. 

 I learned from Leander that you could know what year a person is at the Royal University of Vrawyth based on the color of their neckties. Yellows are for freshmen. Green for sophomores. Blue for juniors and Red for seniors.

 The two guys are wearing blue neckties. I covered my mouth when I realized what is happening. The taller guy is starting to lean on the smaller guy. It looks like they are going to kiss any moment from now. I turn my back and lean on the post I was hiding. 

 That was a scene straight my bl. I couldn't believe I just witnessed that in real life. And those two guys look handsome. I tried to peek at the two guys, but I was disappointed when I didn't see them there. 

 Where did they go? I look around, but I couldn't find them. I sigh in disappointment. It's not every day you see a scene like that, but I didn't cherish it right.

 I continue walking around the campus. Trying to find other people or maybe the couples. I will definitely stare at them.

 I hide on a post again when I heard two people talking. My eyes widened when I realized who those people are. It's the couple. I tried to look at their faces, but they are facing their back at me. I couldn't walk just to look at them since it looks like they are talking about something serious.

 "I don't like what you are doing," the smaller guy said to the taller guy.

 "What? Is there something wrong with what I did?"

 I heard the smaller guy scoff. "You know that we are both men. How can you do something like that in public?" 

 Oh, the smaller guy has an attitude. But I bet he is at the bottom here. 

 "What's wrong with holding hands? Can't friends do that? Why do they even care if we hold hands? This is our life."

 The smaller guy shakes his head and walks towards the corner. They are probably walking inside a classroom.

 The conversation between the two guys really caught my attention. The two are definitely a couple, but it looks like the smaller guy doesn't want to get their relationship in public. While the taller guy wants to show him off. 

 I put my hand on my chin. This definitely sounds like a bl story. I walk towards the corner where they enter. To hell about Rufus. It's not every day I see something like this. He can find me if he needs me. 

 For now, I need to know what will happen to the two guys. Their story is actually interesting. It can be an excellent start for a plot. Just add a few tweaks, and people will definitely love it. 

 I walk inside the corner, but I didn't find them. They probably went towards the second floor since there's a stair in there.

 I frown. Should I continue to look for them or to search for Rufus? 

 In the end, I end up following my fujoshi heart. I followed the couple on the second floor. I was about to check on one of its rooms when I heard a voice coming from one of the rooms. I carefully walked towards the room and put my ear on the door.

 I don't understand why I am soo invested in their story. It seems like it's something fun.

 "Why did you do that to her?" The voice sounds like the smaller guy. It has a touch of femininity on it. It's also the reason why I assume he is the bottom.

 "What? He annoys me. How can she not understand that I hate what she is doing? She keeps bothering me everywhere I go. She seems like a crazy stalker now."

 My eyes widen. Ohh, this is some juicy news. So the guy has a stalker, and it's a girl. Poor girl, she fell in love with a guy who also likes a guy. 

 "But that is your fiancée! Have you forgotten?"

 I almost gasp at what I heard from the smaller guy. This is definitely a piece of big juicy news. The stalker is the fiancée of the taller guy? And he was irritated with his fiancée because she is always everywhere he goes? 

 I really pity the woman. How sad it is to know that you're fiancée doesn't like woman. Rather he likes man too? That would be heartbreaking.

 I support bl, but I don't like it when one of the guys is like this, who is making a woman hope for him. Although, I still don't know the whole situation. I just hope he doesn't let his fiancée hope for something he couldn't give. 

 I heard someone scoff. "What that engagement? It's not even official. As long as it's not official, I can still turn the table upside down. If I want to marry anyone else, that is not her for sure."

 Silence envelopes the two guys. While I was anticipating what will happen next. Who does he want to marry? Tell him it is the smaller guy. Come on, tell me.

 "You know, it's not possible right?" I heard the smaller guy ask.

 I heard movements from the inside. "What impossible? I don't care about the throne. Who cares about what people will say. I love you and only you. I wouldn't marry anyone else but you."

 "Fraser, what about Csille? What about the King and the Count? Wha-"

 I immediately freeze on the spot when I heard what the smaller guy said. It only dawns on me why their voices sound familiar. It's because it is Prince Fraser and Princess Paislee. 

 I take a step back. I am still facing the room they are in. I was happy a while ago, but my whole world seems to crush with what I heard just now. 

 They are together now. Together. 

 I smile bitterly to myself. He said he doesn't care about me. Tears are streaming down my face without me noticing it. It damn hurts. I know this is what is supposed to happen, but I couldn't still hope that maybe. Maybe he will end up with me, but it was all a lie.

 I continue walking backward until I reach the railing, but it was too late for me to realize it. I just found myself falling from the second floor. I just close my eyes and wish that everything is just a dream.
