Why Did I Become the Villainess?

Chapter 413: : Suggestions (1)



"Dame Csille, the guards wants to see you."

I turn my head at Allan before I open the window on my side. I immediately see the royal guards guarding the entrance of the Palace.

I give them a small smile. "Good day, apologies for coming here uninvited. I just came here to see if I can have a conversation with his majesty." I look at the closed gate. "Does his majesty have time for a conversation?"

The two guards stares at each other for a couple of seconds before they bow their heads at me. "Good day Dame Csille. We are not sure if his majesty have time for a conversation today. But we can allow you to come inside. You could just ask the Butler if his majesty can see you." Then they open the gate with a wide smile at their faces.

I just smile at them in return before I turn my head at Allan and ask him to continue inside.

I actually didn't expect things will be easy coming here. I know how the Palace have restricted the people who comes in and out of the Palace because of the threat of the Aeslaerean Kingdom. So, I was expecting I need to convince the guards to allow me inside.

What happened just now is still something I couldn't believe. I thought after my engagement with Prince Fraser got cancelled, it will be difficult for me to go to the Palace without an invitation. I didn't expect everything will be this easy.

"Dame Csille, you are really still an important person for the royal family don't you? I heard that they have restricted everyoe who comes in and out of the Palace, lately but you managed to get inside without worry."

I look at Allan. I don't know if I should be happy or not because he also knows this fact. I'm sure he will tell this to Mister Sewell and it will be difficult for me to make excuses in the future.

I just give Allan a small smile and turn my head at the window. I would rather not say anything than to say something I shouldn't have said. It is safer this way.

After my conversation with Mister Sewell, he ask Allan to send me off. But instead of returning home or in the Foundation, I decided to go straight to the Palace.

Although Mister Sewell didn't tell me to go to the Palace after our conversation, I decided to take action. I know he got mad at me because I didn't do anything to have a position in the department so here I am proving myself to him.

Just so he can be satisfied. Even if it means I will be fooling his majesty, the person who I already considered my second father.

A moment after, the carriage stops in front of the Palace. I say my thanks at Allan and immediately get off the carriage before he could say something to me.

After what he said to me earlier? I don't think I can still feel comfortable around him.

I scan my eyes at the surrounding hoping I can see a familiar face. My eyes shines when I see the Butler talking to a maid, who is watering the flower on the side.

I immediately walk towards him. It's a good thing he is here, he is one of the people here who knows the schedule of his majesty. I can just ask him if his majesty have some time today.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

I was about to say something when he suddenly turn his head at me. "Dame Csille? What are you doing here?"

"Good day, apologies for coming here an uninvited. I was hoping to talk to his majesty. Does his majesty have time today? I just need to talk to him about something important."

The Butler nods his head. "He has time today but I still need to ask if he wants to see you. Why don't we come inside the Palace first?" He then said a few reminders to the made on how to take care of the flower before he lead me inside the Palace.

We walk pass the hallway and stop in front of the Palace's library. "Dame Csille, can you wait here while I ask his majesty if he can see you."

I nod my head and walk inside the library. After making sure I am comfortable inside the library, he immediately left to ask his majesty.

I look around the library and heaves a sigh. I have been here for a couple of times already yet I still couldn't help buy be amazed on how many books there have here. Most of them are even limited editions.

This library can even be compared to those huge public library you can see in the real world. It's so huge that you wouldn't have expect this can be found in the Palace, a place where everyone is busy working in the monarchy.

"Wouldn't it be a waste to have a big library like this yet you can not spend your whole day reading here?" I mumble to myself while I scan the books in the shelves. "If I were they, I would have lock myself in this library for days. It would ha-"

I wasn't able to finish what I want to say when I suddenly heard someone speak behind me. It's a good thing I wasn't holding any book or else I might have drop it.

I turn my head at the perpetrator and find his majesty smiling at me widely. His smile is a genuine one not unlike the smile of Mister Sewell.

"Apologies, I didn't mean to startle you." He looks around the library and nods his head. "You are right. It would have been a waste if we have this but no one bothers reading it. If you want, you can come here and spend your whole day reading. I'm sure you will enjoy all the books here."

I politely shake my head. Spend my day here? And what? See Prince Fraser everyday? I would rather spend my whole day in the Foundation.

Also, if that happens it will only make Mister Sewell happy and I don't want that.

"Greetings your majesty, apologies for coming here uninvited. I just want to talk to you about something important but if you don't have any time, I understand."

His majesty shakes his head. "No, I actually plan to invite you to the Palace this afternoon but it's a good that you are here." He then gesture his hand towards a round table. It's a table where you can sit for a tea while reading. "Why don't we sit first and talk about this while sipping tea. It's been a long time since I have taste your tea. Can you do me a favor and brew

me one?"

I immediately nod my head at him. "It will be my honor to do that, your majesty." It's a good thing everything that is needed for a simple tea ceremony is already here. The moment his majesty sits on his chair, I immediately start the tea ceremony.

The two of us got silent and focus. I was focusing not to make any mistake while doing the tea ceremony. While his majesty is focusing on watching it.

After a few minutes, I successfully brew the tea and pour it gently to his majesty's teacup. I didn't immediately sit and wait for his comments first.

His majesty takes his teacup and sip on it. He then close his eyes for a few seconds before he opens it and stares at me. "Your tea is the only tea I wouldn't get tired drinking everyday. It's such as shame I have lose that opportunity." He then shakes his head.

He was probably talking about my failed engagement with Prince Fraser because if I become Prince Fraser's wife, he can just ask me to brew him tea everyday. But because the engagement was canceled, it is impossible for it to happen now.

"Your majesty, I can came here everyday just to brew you tea. It will be my honor to do that."

His majesty looks up at me and shakes his head. "How can I do that? I know how busy person you are, Dame Csille. How can I do that to you. Forget it. I'll just enjoy your tea as much as I can." He the gesture his hand at the vacant seat in front of him. "Why don't you sit first. I heard you have something important to talk to me. May I know what is it?"

I immediately sit on the chair. "Your majesty, I know you already said you will announce it if everything's okay but I came here to ask any update about the new department?"

His majesty nods his head. "I'll be honest with you, Dame Csille. I am still contemplating who will I assign in the department. I already have some choices but I am still not sure if they can really help or not. I already talk to my son about this and he already given me a list of possible candidates but I still need to talk to another person to see if they can really be fit for

the position."

And that person is Csille? Is the reason why he mentioned he wants to invite Csille is because The wants to hear Csille's suggestions?

This doesn't seem right. I have written that his majesty ask for Prince Fraser's suggestion but him asking me suggestions, is something that shouldn't happen.

However, I couldn't turn him down now right? Also, wouldn't this help me? All I need to do is to mention all those people who will work in the Foundation. If I do this, there is a huge chance that everything will be on their right places. So, I guess it wouldn't hurt if I say some

suggestions to his majesty.

"Your majesty, have you talk to Prince Rufus? He have been working in one of the departments in the monarchy and he had the chance to work with most people here. I am sure he can give you a great list of people who can be part of the new department." Since he haven't mentioned that he wants to hear my suggestions, I have mentioned another option too. It is safe this way rather than to be confident with myself. Although, I am half sure The would also ask for my suggestions.

The King nods his head. "I already plan to meet him later. I want to hear your suggestions, Dame Csille. Who do you think will be fitted to work in the new department? Although you only recently work in the Kingdom, I am sure you have talk to a lot of people while managing your Foundation. So, I want to know your thoughts, Dame Csille."

I knew it! He really ask me! I should take this opportunity and suggest all those people who will become a part of the department.

I pretend to look shocked because of what his majesty said. "Your majesty? You want to hear my suggestions? But aren't I not qualified to suggest anything? Wouldn't it better to ask my Father about this? I am sure he could suggest people who will be a great help in the new

department."

His majesty picks up his teacup first before he answer me. "I already ask him yesterday and he already given me some suggestions."

And he still wants to hear mine? It only proves how much his majesty put importance on the Lauretré Family. He already talk to my Father but he still wants to hear mine?

Me? Who is a simple Founder of a Foundation only? I don't even have any position in the monarchy. How can my suggestions be important?

Not that I am not happy about this. I just feel burdened knowing he trusts me this much. I'm

sure he will be disappointed and hurt when he knew how much of a traitor I am.

I am sorry, your majesty. I'm sorry for breaking the trust you have for me.
