Chapter 395: : Door
Chapter 395: : Door
Mister Sewell just finished explaining things to me, and I don't have a choice but to pretend that I am trusting him.
"Do you trust me, Csille? Do you believe that I am only doing this for your own sake?"
I almost scoffed when I heard what he said. For my own sake, his face! He is doing this for his own good. He wants to bring down the royal family so his family can take over, and he is using me as his scapegoat.
Why does everyone in my story are all toxic? Is it difficult to have at least one person here that thinks normally? Not like this who were selfish and cunning.
I nod my head and smile reassuringly at him. "I trust and believe you, Mister Sewell. And my decision will remain the same. I still want to have my revenge."
He nods his head. "If that is the case, I will support you with your decision. But let me remind you that you cannot turn your back after this. You cannot return to your current reputation once we start implementing our plan."
I nod my head and smile reassuringly at him. Csille turning her back to them? That is impossible. By this time, all ever she thinks about is getting her revenge. So, I don't think that it is possible.
"There is nothing you should get worried about, Mister Sewell. I won't change my mind. I want to make Prince Fraser suffer."
He nods his head and asks me to drink some tea with him again to help me calm my nerves. But I immediately turn it down. I need to go home already because it's getting late now.
"Mister Sewell, I think I need to go now. Thank you for having me here."
He shakes his head. "You are always welcome here, Dame Csille. If there will come a time when you don't know where to go, you can just come here. The door is always open for you."
I bow my head as a sign of appreciation before I stand up. "Thank you. I will be taking my leave now."
Mister Sewell stands up too. "I will just send you an update once I have received any news from the Aeslaerean Kingdom." He then snaps his hand, and a maid comes rushing to us. "Send Dame Csille out and ask Allan to bring her home." He looks at me. "Apologies if I cannot send you home on my own. You know we cannot be seen together."
I just smile at him and shake my head. "You don't have to explain, Mister Sewell. I understand." I look at the maid, and she then starts to guide me out. Although I don't really need some help because I already know the way out.
The maid and I were already walking through the hallway when I suddenly heard Mister Sewell say something behind me. "Dame Csille, I don't know if you already know about it, but Prince Fraser awoke this morning. Aren't you going to visit him?"
My eyes widened when I heard what Mister Sewell said. Rufus was already awake!
He was finally awake!
I look around me and heave a sigh. I was originally planning to ignore the fact that Rufus was awake now. However, my mind couldn't stop bugging me to visit him. In the end, I couldn't stop myself, and here I am inside the carriage on my way to the Holycross Hospital.
I know I shouldn't visit him. That I should distance myself from him because I don't want him to be involved with my revenge plan. But I couldn't do it. I couldn't sit still in the house, knowing my best friend in this world had woken up from being unconscious.
"I'll just take a look for a couple of minutes and leave after. I just want to know how he is doing, and that's it." I whispered to myself.
I look outside the window and take a deep breath. A moment after, the carriage stops at the back of the Holycross Hospital. I smile at Allan before I get off the carriage.
I decided to use the back door so no one could see me. I do not plan to let anyone know that I visit Rufus. It is for his own safety too. I also don't even want him to see me visit me.
I cover my head with a shawl and walk inside the hospital with my head down so no one can see my eyes. It's a good thing no one blocks my way, so I easily find my way to the hallway, which leads to Rufus's room.
However, I was startled to see Prince Fraser walking inside Rufus's room.
I frown. What is that Prince doing here? Visiting his cousin after what he has done? He just suggested to marry his cousin off to me. So he can get rid of his competition when it comes to Princess Paislee. He did that while Rufus was still unconscious. He did that without even asking for Rufus's permission. And now he is visiting Rufus as if he had never done those things?
I smile bitterly. "Fraser, you are really something." I shake my head disappointedly. But now he is here. There is no way I can see Rufus. I don't want to see that Prince Fraser for now. So, I think it's better if I just leave before anyone can see me.
I was about to turn my back when I suddenly remembered how Rufus looks like lying on his Hospital bed. I feel my hand tremble and look at the closed door of Rufus's room.
I wasn't able to take care of him while he was still unconscious, and now that he woke up, I also won't be able to see him. Isn't that unfair for him?
I heave a sigh and walk towards the closed door. I'm planning to just take a peek inside and leave after. I just want to see Rufus awake and smiling. I just want to see him, okay.
It's a good thing no guards were guarding outside the hospital room, so I was able to come close the door without no one noticing me.
I feel my hand tremble, and my eyes moisten when I see Rufus talking to Prince Fraser. I couldn't hear what they were talking about because the room was soundproof. But I can just tell that the two were arguing based on their expressions. It seems like Rufus didn't like the presence of Prince Fraser.
I looked at Prince Fraser and noticed how he looked unconcerned with what was happening. It's as if he doesn't have a little bit of care if Rufus doesn't appreciate his presence.
I heave a sigh out of frustration. I want to know what they are arguing about, but I know I couldn't let them see me.
I take a last look at Rufus, who looks calm now, before I leave the hospital. I just hired a carriage to bring me home.
I was busy looking outside the window of the carriage when the coachman suddenly spoke. "Dame Csille, are you okay? You... look pale? Should we return back to the Holycross Hospital?" He asks with full of concern in his voice.
I just smile reassuringly at him and shake my head. "Thank you for the concern, but I'm just tired. I just need to rest, and I'll be better. So, you don't have to worry. Just send me to the Lauretré residence."
The coachman nods his head and continues maneuvering the carriage towards the Lauretré residence while I lean my head on the window and close my eyes.
I'm really exhausted, but this kind of exhaustion couldn't be solved by sleep.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
I smile bitterly. I wish it is like that. That if I sleep, every problem I have right now will disappear, but that is just wishful thinking. No matter what I do, I am meant to be the villainess.
I spend the rest of the day locking myself inside my room. I was planning to take a rest first. After all, what happened today is quite too much for me to take.
I was about to fall asleep when I was startled by a knock on my door. With a groan, I turn my head at the closed door and glare.
I was finally able to rest my mind, but this certain someone decided to interrupt my sleep? Doesn't the Villainess deserve some rest too?
I heaved a sigh and decided to just ignore the person knocking. I'm sure that person will leave after they realize I don't have any plan to see them. It's as if it's the first time I have done that
to them.
However, I didn't expect that the person behind my door would decide to destroy my door just so they could talk to me.
I immediately jumped from my bed when I heard a loud bang. I anxiously look at in front of my door and found my door lying on the floor while Brother Pascal is panting heavily.
I frown at him. Brother Pascal is the one who broke my door? What does he want to say that he opted to destroy my door so he could talk to me?
I was about to ask him a question, but he interrupted me first. "Now, you don't have any reason not to see us if you don't want to."
I gasped when I heard what he said. The reason he destroys my door is to stop me from
ignoring them?
"Brother, you are invading my privacy. How can you break my door like that?"
He stands up straight and stares straight into my eyes. "And why are you being stubborn? We only care about you, Csille. Why can't you see that? Do you know how worried Aunt and Uncle
I raised my hand to stop him from talking and shook my head. "You already told me that before. Do you think I am deaf that I wouldn't hear that?" I heave a sigh and look at the door he is currently stepping on. "I am asking you why did you break my door?" "Haven't you heard what I said? Starting from now, I will be taking your door, so you wouldn't have a choice but not to ignore us. You are not a child anymore, Csille. You cannot just lock yourself up once you didn't like the things that are happening."
I scoff. "If I am not a child, then why wouldn't you let me do what I want to? You don't want
me to lock myself inside my room, but here you are locking me in this lovely residence of yours? Isn't that ironic?"
I heard him take a deep breath. I know he is already irritated with me, and I know he has the reason to do so. But what he did this time is really out of limits. How can he take Csille's door
like that?
This isn't something I expect he would do. Brother Pascal loves Csille dearly. So it's a shock for me to see that he would do this to Csille.
Am I being too much? Is it the reason why he is doing this?
"Csille, why can't you see that we are only doing this for you. When will yo-"
I stand up and look at him with a bitter smile. "You are doing this for me? But has anyone
asked you if I want this? Did anyone even bother asking me about my opinion? This is my life, brother, and I will live it the way I want to live it. You just can't force me to do something out of my free will. If you are really my family, you would understand that." I look at my door that he is still stepping on, and I laugh sadly. "But clearly, you don't think that way."
I turn my back on him and walk towards the window. "Please leave my room. I don't want to
say things that would make me look like the villain again. Take the door with you. I hope you
are happy taking the only thing that makes me safe."
"But Csille..."
I shake my head. "Leave, Brother. Just leave. If you will only scold me, then leave. I already
heard a couple of that these days."
I didn't hear anything from him for a couple of seconds. A moment after, I heard him sigh and
walk away from my room.
I heave a sigh and look outside. I feel guilty for always arguing with my family, but I need to
do this. Sooner or later, Csille will leave the Lauretré family, and I need them to be used with the idea that Csille will disappear soon.
