Why Did I Become the Villainess?

Chapter 418: : Assigned



All of us immediately stand up to greet his majesty. We all bow our heads to give respect to the King.

"Greetings, your majesty!"

His majesty smile at us. "All of you may be visited. I hope I didn't made you wait for too long." He then walks in front. "I know all of you are curious as to why I invited you all here."

He look at each of us. "Prince Fraser, Prince Rufus, Doctor Leander, General Abarral, Colonel Randle, Advisor Mallory, Attorney Kirsa, and Dame Csille. I call all of you here because I have something important to ask all of you."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

I am right. He called all of us to announce that we will be assigned a position in the new department. The time is really getting near. Soon war will break through the peaceful days of the Vrawyth Kingdom.

"Some of you might already be aware why I invited you all here and some might be unaware." He then look at each one of us. "The Aeslaerean Kingdom sent a letter the other day. Threatening the Vrawyth Kingdom that they will expose our secret to the public if we don't produce a thousand weapons for them."

Attorney Kirsa raises her hand. His majesty stares at her and nod his head as a sign that he is allowing her to speak up. "Your majesty, may I ask how can we produce weapons for them? I know we have forgers here but how can it be compared to the weapons made by Stozeterra Kingdom. So, why would they want our weapons if their ally can produce high quality weapons for them?"

The deal I made with his majesty was a secret one. Only me, a few of my people, his majesty and his people knows this deal. But when the Aeslaerean's letter arrived, his majesty didn't have a choice but to explain things to the nobles and to the army.

It's the reason why only Attorney Kirsa doesn't know about that deal because she is the only one who isn't working under the monarchy. Both General Abarral and Colonel are working in the army that's why they are aware with what is happening. While Doctor Leander knows what happened because he is working with the royalties.

His majesty heave a sigh. "The monarchy have made a deal with the Hope Foundation. Dame Csille here," his majesty gestures his hand towards me. "Have met a master forger. However, he only wants to work under Dame Csille so we don't have a choice but to make a secret deal with Dame Csille. But things went out of hand when someone from my part exposed that secret to our nemisis Kingdom, the Aeslaerean. They threatened us to expose our secret if we don't produce weapons for them."

Attorney Kirsa nods her head. "Your majesty, is it okay for me to ask what's decision you have made? Did you comply with the Aeslaerean's demand?"

"No, we didn't. How can I allow the Aeslaerean Kingdom use us as they will? We are considered the strongest Kingdom, so why would we let them threaten us like that. But you don't have to worry Attorney Kirsa, we already have counter plans for that. Prince Fraser and Prince Rufus will explain things to you later. For now let's focus on the purpose of why I invited you all here."

His majesty claps his hand and the Butler walks inside the meeting room with documents on his arms. He then starts to give documents on each one of us.

I look at the documents in front of me and read it's content.

It has a title named Department of War and Welfare. Then there is a whole paragraph why this Department is established and some other details about it.

"Aside from the counterplan we already made. I also decided to create a Department that will focus on the upcoming war. So, even if the Aeslaerean Kingdom decided to launch a surprise attack on us, we wouldn't be at losing end." His majesty pause. He probably noticed that we are all busy reading the contents of the documents.

Even if I was the writer of this story, I still couldn't help but be amazed on how fast his majesty works. It's only a few days since he announced that he will establish a new department yet he already made a concrete plan on it. He is truly deserving of his title.

"At the end of the pages, you will see names that I want to assigned to work in the new department. Please turn your pages at the last page and let me hear what are your thoughts about this."

We all follow his majesty instructions and turn the pages to the last. I look at the names on the pages and found the names of all the people present here.

He really follows all my suggestions. Well, except for me though because I never have the guts to suggest myself. Maybe because deep inside of me, I was still hoping I can still turn things on how I want it.

But I was wrong. I couldn't avoid my own destiny. My destiny to be the villainess.

I smile bitterly at myself but I made sure no one see it. I don't know how I can explain to anyone if they ever see me smiling bitterly.

I look around me and found everyone have shocked expressions on their faces. Even the two Princes looks confused as to why their names is on the list.

Prince Fraser stand up. "Father, why is my name on the list? Aren't I too inexperienced to be a part of this new department?"

His majesty calmly look at Prince Fraser. "Prince Fraser, can you please sit down. I will explain everything later."

Prince Fraser didn't have a choice but to sit down. However, I can still see the disagreement in his eyes. It seems doesn't like the idea of being a part of the new department.

But why? Shouldn't he be happy because his majesty allow him to lead this department that will save the Vrawyth Kingdom in the future?

His majesty looks at each of us. "I know all of you have questions and some may even feel confused as to why you were choosen to become a part of the Department of War and Welfare but let me explain things first before you give me your answer."

His Majesty looks at Prince Fraser. "Prince Fraser, I know you don't see yourself competent enough to handle such a big responsibility. However, you are the Crown Prince of the Vrawyth Kingdom. Isn't it right for you to be part of this department?"

Prince Fraser shakes his head. He was about to complain but his majesty raise his hand to stop him. "I know you are still reluctant but you are one of the most capable person that can lead this department. You are wise and careful when making a decision for the Kingdom. You have wide range of Knowledge on things and you also have experienced working in the monarchy. So, why wouldn't I give you a position?"

Prince Fraser shakes his head repeatedly. "But Father, I am inexperienced compared to those who are working for decades in the monarchy. Why don't you put them instead of me? They

are-"

His majesty shakes his head. "Prince Fraser, they might be more experienced than you but do they have the same knowledge you have?" He shakes his head. "Experienced is one thing however what will it means if they wouldn't have sharp mind like yours? When it comes to having a sharp mind, how can they compare to you? I know you are don't still understand things but you will soon see what I am saying."

He paused for a few seconds allowing Prince Fraser to take in what his majesty is saying. "I will assigned you as the head of this Department. You will help all other leaders do their part and see to it that everything is going to the plan. Aside from being the leader. You will also be assigned to find all the spies hiding in the Kingdom. You can have your own team that will help you do this."

Prince Fraser was about to say something to his majesty but the King already turn his head to Prince Rufus. "Prince Rufus, I also know you are reluctant as your cousin. But the two of you works the best if you are with each other. Aside from that, you are more experienced than your cousin when it comes to working in the monarchy. So, I will be assigning you to help your cousin with his responsibilities as the leader of the new Department. You will make sure that each department is doing their parts and see if there is any corrupt in the department. You will also help Prince Fraser finding the mole specifically those moles working in the monarchy. So, can you do me a favor and accept this position for me?"

Prince Rufus stares at his majesty. I can see the obvious disagreement in his eyes but he still nods his head in the end. I know he couldn't say no to his Uncle. It's the reason why even if he wants to quit from working in the monarchy, he still couldn't do it.

His majesty then looks at Doctor Leander. "Doctor Leander Smyth, the well known 'Godly

Doctor' of the Kingdom. I know you are wondering why you are here despite you being a Doctor." His Majesty smiles at him. "Doctor Leander I heard aside from your skills, you are currently working on with making supplements?"

Leander nods his head. "Yes, your majesty. I was able to gain knowledge in formulating supplements in the Alderrdeen School of Knowledge. I already managed creating a supplement that will strengthen someone's bones. It will also help them boost their

strength."

His majesty smiles. Satisfied with Leander's answer. "I will be giving you a position in the monarchy as the head leader for medicine. You will form a team of Doctor that will you in creating supplements for them. So they can have stronger bodies. You will also train Doctors that will join the army to serve the wounded. I want you to pass what ever knowledge you can pass to them. Having a great Doctor in war will definitely boost the moral of our soldiers." Leander looks burdened by what his majesty said but he still nods his head in the end. It seems like everyone is reluctant to accept the position.

His Majesty look at General Abarral and Colonel Randle. "General Blavier Abarral. I am well aware of your special training and I am glad the Vrawyth Kingdom has a General like you. You will be assign to create a secret army compose of soldiers that will undergo your special training. With your secret training couple by Doctor Leander's supplements, I can assured we can produce a thousands red patches soldiers. They will only be revealed to the public once the war started. I want the Aeslaerean Kingdom to think that we are prepared." General Abarral's eyes widened. "Your majesty? Thousands of red patches soldiers but isn't that too much? How can I do that in such a short period of time?"

His majesty smile reassuringly at him. "I know you can do that, General. Don't worry, the others will help you too and Colonel Randle is here to help you too. Am I right, Colonel?" His Majesty looks at Colonel Randle who looks shocked with what is happening. He then nods

his head after.

"Colonel Randle, despite you being incomparable to the previous Colonels, you are one of

the greatest tactician the Kingdom had. You will assigned to design tactics to counter the plan

of the enemies."

His majesty then turn his head at the remaining three of us. "Attorney Kirsa Gravese. You will be assigned to counter the attacks of the Aeslaerean using the law. I want you to bring all of this to the international tribunal. For now, the Aeslaerean is still having thought on attacking us because of the tribunal. We will use this to counter any plan they have for us.

"Advisor Mallory Fenne Advisor, you will be assigned as the speaker for the Vrawyth Kingdom. You are a good conversationalist and knows how to turn each conversation into

your favor. You can work with Attorney Kirsa to borrow time. We need time so General Abarral can prepare his army. I am entrusting the safety of Vrawyth Kingdom to you Advisor Mallory. Prove to everyone why you are the youngest Advisor I ever had."

Advisor Mallory nods her head. I couldn't see if she is reluctant because she have a blank

face.

I guess working with the royal family makes her adapt their behavior.

His majesty then turn his head at me. "Dame Csille, you will be assigned to supervise the

weaponry. I want you to produce thousands of weapons that we can sell to the public and we can use for the upcoming war."

What? A thousand of weapons? How am I supposed to do that?
