Why Did I Become the Villainess?

 No! I could feel my heart breaking into a million pieces. I know this will happen, but I still couldn't prepare myself for the pain. It's so painful that I feel like I'm dying.

 I close my eyes, trying to control the tears streaming down my face. I frowned when I heard a voice calling me.

 "Lady Csille."

 I look towards Prince Fraser and the Queen and King, who are still talking to each other. It seems like they didn't even hear that someone who called me. 

 "Lady Csille."

 I frown even more. Where does the voice come from? I take a step forward, but suddenly I feel the air suddenly starts to whirl. It's as if there's a hurricane. I immediately grab to anything I could hold, but it's no use. I was sucked by the hurricane. I close my eyes and wait for my death. Although this isn't the death I was looking for, at least I could avoid being hurt by Prince Fraser. 

 I feel my body jolted. I didn't open my eyes first. I am feeling my surroundings first. It feels like I am lying on a soft surface.

 What is it? The heaven? 

 "Lady Csille!"

 I almost jump because of the sudden voice. I immediately look around and find a maid bowing her head at me. 

 "Please, forgive me for the intrusion. However, I got worried when I heard you groaning, so I decided to enter your room. Are you okay, Lady Csille? Did you have a nightmare?" The maid asks while still bowing her head.

 I frown. The place doesn't look familiar to me? Where am I?

 I look at the maid, and that's when I realized where am I. I am in the Illorian City residence. I came here to ask for the pill and the antidote. I immediately look at the wooden box, and I sigh when I see that it is still where I put it last night. 

 I get up from the bed and stretch up before I look at the maid. "I am okay. Thank you for checking on me." I look at the clothing that was prepared for me last night. I didn't even wear it because I was exhausted last night. But I cannot wear it right now because it is a sleeping wear. I look at the maid and scratches my nape.

 "I'm sorry, but I need a favor."

 "Just say what you need, Lady Csille, and I will do my best to attend to your needs."

 Even after living for more than a year now as Csille Lauretré, I still couldn't get used to all these special treatments I've been getting from people. 

 "Can you find me another maid's dress? I haven't changed my clothes since yesterday, and I feel sticky."

 The maid opens the door and takes something from the outside. The door was closed the moment the maid enters the room again. "Lady Csille, I already prepared the dress you needed. This a newly maid dress made for you. The fabric might look like the same fabric use for our maid clothes. However, the fabric used for your dress is a high quality fabric. It is to ensure that you won't have any bad reaction to the dress. But you can be assured that no one will notice about the difference."

 I take the dress and look at the current dress I am wearing. It actually looks the same. It's as if the fabric was the same as the fabric I am wearing. I touched the new dress, and I almost close my eyes. The fabric is soo satisfying to touch. That's where you can see the difference. 

 I smile. Ruler Laird definitely thought about this thoroughly. He even made sure that the fabric that will be used is high quality. Even though the one I am wearing now is the same quality as the maid's clothing.

 I take the clothing, and I was about to enter the bathroom, but the maid stops me.

 "Lady Csille, wait up. The Great Ruler is actually waiting for you in the dining hall. He wants to have breakfast with you."

 I nod my head at the maid and continue to enter the bathroom. I feel sticky all over. I need a bath. I take a quick bath and wear the maid's clothing. I don't want to make the Great Ruler wait for too long. Also, I don't want the Vrawyth representatives to realize that I was not inside my room.

 I look at the clock hanging on the wall and sigh in relief when I realized it's only five in the morning. I still have plenty of time, and people from the Vrawyth Kingdom wouldn't even realize that I sneaked out. Great!

 The moment I walk outside the room, the maid immediately walks towards me. "Lady Csille, follow me. The Great Ruler is waiting for you in the dining hall."

 I followed the maid. We walk through a couple of buildings and corridors before we arrive at the dining room. The dining room has a massive door. Probably half of the size of the huge door in the Kosmo Metaxy. 

 The maid opens the door and what welcomes me amazed my eyes. On the ceiling, there is a fancy chandelier that would probably cause a fortune. There is a long table that is made of high quality marble. The chairs are also made of high quality... wait, is that gold? 

 How can a small Kingdom like Saiven afford this? It can even be compared to the dining hall of the Vrawyth Kingdom's Palace.

 Ruler Laird immediately stands up when he sees me. Around him are a couple of elders. Ruler Laird gestured his hand on an empty seat beside him. "Csille, you are finally here. How's your sleep? I hope you sleep well." He looks at the dress I am wearing. "And you are wearing the dress, I ask them. Did you like it? That's the only thing I could do since I don't want those people spying the Illorian City to be suspicious of you."

 I smile at Ruler Laird and bows my head at him. I even bow my head at the Elders as a sign of respect. "Good morning, Ruler Laird. Good morning Elders." I gently smile at the Elders. I don't know if they like me, but as much as possible, I don't want to be rude around them. 

 I look at Ruler Laird. "About your question. I actually sleep well. Thank you for arranging a comfortable lodging for me." I look at the clothing I am wearing before I smile at Ruler Laird. "You shouldn't have prepared. I feel guilty that you even think of this. The old dress I am wearing used the same fabric as the maid's dress. However, thank you for your concern, Godfather. I really appreciate it." 

 Ruler Laird smile at me. "I'm glad you like it. Come here. Let's eat breakfast. We prepared breakfasts that you'll surely like. The soldiers always talk about Vrawyth's food, so I asked the cook to cook a Vrawyth food."

 I walk towards the Ruler Laird. I feel awkward because every Elder is looking at me like at any moment I will do something inappropriate. 

 What? I know I am not an Illorian, but the Vrawyth Kingdom is known for being nice people. Why are they looking at me like that? 

 Although Csille is the Villainess but I'm not Csille. Also, I don't think Csille will be so dumb to go against Ruler Laird. That is suicidal.

 Ruled Laird pulled the chair for me to sit. Before he sits beside me. He then snaps his fingers, and several maids enter the dining room with trays of food. 

 I look at the food, and my mouth immediately waters. They all look delicious. Especially all of the food in front of me are all Vrawyth food.

 Vrawyth food is also known for our delicious cuisine. Each Kingdom has their own cuisine to be proud of, but I still think nothing could beat the Vrawyth Kingdom's cuisine.

 A maid stopped beside me. "Lady Csille, do you want hibiscus tea?"

 "Yes, please. Thank you."

 The maid carefully pours me a tea and immediately retreats after. Ruler Laird takes a bowl of bread and puts one on my plate.

 "Do you eat a little? Look how thin you are. Eat all of these," he then started to fill my plate with different Vrawyth foods. 

 I just smile awkwardly at Ruler Laird. It will be rude not to finish all the food. I tried to stop Ruler Laird from putting food on my plate however he doesn't want to be stop. He keeps piling my plate with food until it looks like a mountain.

 I almost cry because of a mountain of food on my plate. How can I even eat all of these? I try to eat all of the food on my plate, but since I'm not used to eating a lot of food. I end up eating only half of it. As much as I want to eat all of these but my tummy is already complaining.

 An elder sees my grievances. "Great Ruler, I think it wouldn't be good if you let Lady Csille finish all the food on her plate. She will travel in a carriage, and we all know how much the carriage jolt. If she finishes that, I'm sure she will throw up all the food she ate."

 I mouthed my thank you to the Elder. For someone who isn't used to eat heavy breakfast, I will definitely throw this up in our journey. Thanks to the Elder, he saves me from throwing up.

 The breakfast didn't last long since everyone seems busy with things. They immediately ate their breakfast and left the dining hall.

 Ruler Laird and I are both walking through the corridors now. He is explaining how I can go home. "The maids are going to buy ingredients in the market. Although the Saiven Kingdom gave us ingredients every day but because the Illorian City cuisine uses different ingredients, so we still do daily shopping. You will leave with them, and when you arrive at the market, the head maid will give you a paper. In the paper, there is an instruction that you will need to follow so you can go home. Everything is prepared. You just need to follow the instructions."

 I remember everything that Ruler Laird said. I really appreciate everything that Ruler Laird did for me. He always makes sure that everything is planned, and all I need to do is to go with the flow. 

 I hug Ruler Laird. "Thank you, Godfather. I will send you a letter after I arrived at the Vrawyth Kingdom's residence. I really appreciate the things you did for me."

 Ruler Laird gently caresses my head. "Go home now. I'm sure Prince Fraser is worried for you already. Remember to send me a message if something happened, okay?"

 I nod my head at Ruler Laird before walking to the group of maids. There are ten maids in the group and one head maid. If I add to the group, we will total to twelve people.

 The maids immediately bow their heads at me. Even the head maid bows her head. "Lady Csille."

 I hurriedly shake my hand and my head. "Oh no! You shouldn't bow your head at me. Right now, I am the same as you. You don't need to bow at me. You can just call me Ysa if you want to call so people won't be suspicious of me. Thank you for taking me into your group."

 All the maids look at me with a stunned expression. The head maid takes a step forward. "Ysa?" She said in a hesitant voice.

 I smile at her. "Yes, miss?"

 The head maid nods her head. "Are you already prepared? We will be going now."

 "Yes, miss. Everything is okay on my part. I'm prepared to go now."

 The head maid nods her head, and a carriage stops in front of us. The maids start to enter the carriage. Until the only one left is me and the head maid. She looks at me hesitantly. "I'm sorry. We already got used to riding in one carriage. Do you want to ride on a different carriage? I can ask for one."

 I immediately shake my head. If we do that, then it will definitely catch anyone's attention. "No need, Miss," I said before entering the carriage.

 The carriage is actually big. Even though there are twelve people inside. It doesn't look crowded. 

 The whole journey, the maids keep looking at me. They are probably worried that I will complain. How can I complain if this is a typical scenario in day to day life in the real world? I used to stuff myself in a crowded subway train in a rush hour. The space in the carriage is too big that five people can still sit. So, how can I complain if I am sitting in a comfy seat?

 I look outside the window and sigh. I kind of miss the real world. The crowded and overpopulated real world. 

 When will I ever come back? Or can I even come back home?
