Chapter 419: : Possibilities
Chapter 419: : Possibilities
I raise my hand to ask his majesty questions. "Your majesty, how am I supposed to do that? Where would I get the funds to do that? At most the Foundation can only produce a hundred of swords but not thousands."
His majesty nods his head. "I understand the concern, Dame Csille. All the materials that is needed for forging swords will be take care of by the monarchy. All you need to do is to produce it for us. I will explain things in details later. Let's have a conversation about this later. For now, I will explain other things first."
He then explain in details what our roles will be and how important it is to the new department.
It took an hour and half for his majesty to finish explaining things to us.
"I know some of you still have concerns that you want to talk about. Don't worry, I will talk to each of one of you later. For now, I want to know if you want to accept the position I have offered to you or not."
His Majesty didn't even bother asking Prince Fraser and Prince Rufus. He just went straight to General Abarral.
"General Abarral will you accept the position I am offering to you?"
Although General Abarral have nod his head earlier, his majesty still ask him question. He was probably making sure that General Abarral is sure about his decision.
I look at General Abarral and find him staring at his majesty. I can see he is conflicted but he still ends up nodding his head just like earlier. He then bows his head at his majesty. "It will be my honor to serve under the new department. Thank you for trusting my abilities, your majesty. I will do my best to match your expectations."
His majesty nods his head in satisfaction before he turn to Colonel Randle. "Colonel? Are you willing to be part of the new department?"
Unlike General Abarral, Colonel Randle immediately bows his head. "Your majesty, it is my honor to be accept this position. Thank you for the trust."
His majesty then turn his head at Attorney Kirsa and Advisor Mallory. "Attorney Kirsa? Advisor Mallory? Do you accept the offer? It would be great to have the two of you in the Department."
The two ladies stares at each other for a couple of seconds before they bow their heads at his majesty.
"It will be our honor to accept the offer, your majesty."
I was hoping his majesty will ask me too but he didn't even bother glance at me. He just continues saying other things.
While I look at him in disbelief. I would understand if he wouldn't bother asking the two Princes but what did I do that he made him skip me? Did he thought I wouldn't accept his offer that's why he skipped me? But I wouldn't do that.
I was too engrossed with my thoughts that I got startled when his majesty suddenly stands up. He then looks at each of us. "All of you wait here. I will just need to talk to someone before I can talk to each one of you about your concerns. The Butler will call you once I am ready to talk to you."
He then excuse himself after saying those words. I look at his back and stare. His majesty didn't really bother asking me. Is he scared that I will reject his offer?
"Advisor Mallory, do you know how his majesty ends up picking us?"
I look at Attorney Kirsa who ask that question. How? It's because of me. I was the reason all of us were assigned in this new department.
What will their reaction be if they know I am the reason why they are here? Will they be happy or be mad at me?
Advisor Mallory shakes her head. "I have talked to his majesty yesterday and he mentioned names to me but all of us are not part of his list. I don't understand what happened. Maybe someone suggested us to his majesty as to who suggested it, that is not I am sure of."
General Abarral and Colonel Randle both have a grim face. While I heard Attorney Kirsa groans. "If I could only know who that person is, I would have put them in jail."
I swallow hard when I heard what Attorney Kirsa said. I think I already know the answer to my question earlier.
They are mad at me for what I did.
I remain quiet and avoids my eyes from them. I don't want anyone to see my eyes because I am afraid someone might noticed the guilt in my eyes.
I'm sorry, okay? I only suggested all of you because that is what I have written. I didn't know you wouldn't appreciate that. Please don't put me on jail Attorney Kirsa.
After the little rant about the culprit, who is me. The conversation shift to the current situation in the monarchy. In the middle of the conversation, I decided to excuse myself.
I feel suffocated inside probably because I feel guilty. I know most of them doesn't want this big responsibility but they don't have a choice now.
I heave a sigh and look up at the sky. The days are getting shorter and soon my nightmare will come true.
"Don't I have no way out? I-"
I wasn't able to continue what I want to say when I suddenly hear someone speak behind
me.
"You want a way out but you are the one who suggested us to Father?"
I look back and find Prince Fraser staring at me with his grim expression. What is he doing here? Is he here because he followed me? But why would he even do that? Doesn't he hates
me?
"I am asking you a question, Dame Csille."
I know, your highness but can please let me process things here? I don't even know what you are doing here.
"That is not what I am talking about, your highness. Also, I don't understand what you are saying. What suggestions?"
There is no way I will admit I am the reason why they are assigned in the new department. After hearing their disagreement earlier? I wouldn't want to admit anything at all.
Prince Fraser frowns. "Don't try to deny it, Csille. Aside from your Father, you are the only one who can influence my Father with his decision. I am sure you are the one who suggested us to Father. What did you do that? There are a lot of qualified people out there. Why would you assigned us, who doesn't have enough experience? Do you know how much you are endangering the whole Kingdom?"
His eyes becomes sharper. "You first convinced his majesty not to comply with the Aeslaerean's demands and now you suggested inexperienced people to work in the new department? Do you really want to make the whole Kingdom suffer?"
I frown. Suffer? I know the people I suggested doesn't have enough experience but it doesn't mean they are not qualified. Also, I already written what will happen in the future and I am sure it is contrary to what he believes.
"Your highness, isn't this too early for you to say those words? Also, if you have disagreements why are you coming at me? Why don't you talk to his majesty? Even I don't want to become a part of the new department. So, what made you think I was the one who suggested your names?"
I will not admit no matter what even if I know he wouldn't believe me. He can think what he wants to think but I will never admit anything.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Prince Fraser takes a step closer to me. "Dame Csille, I don't know why you are doing this but I hope this is the last time you would endanger everyone. If this happens again, I will make sure to do something about it." He said in a warning a tone.
I know I was the reason behind this but I am only doing this for everyone's safety. So, he doesn't have the right to threaten me like this.
I stare back at him. Making sure he can see that I am not threatened with his words. "Your
highness, you may be the Crown Prince of the Vrawyth Kingdom but you don't have a right to talk to me like that. I know I was the one who convinced his majesty not to comply with the Aeslaerean's demand. But I only did that because I think that is a better option. However, I am not the one who suggested your names to his majesty. So, don't come at me like that!" Prince Fraser inch his face closer to mine. "I don't believe you. You are the only one who can suggest our names."
I heaves a sigh and take a step back. I know no matter what I say to him, he wouldn't believe my words. I don't really care if he don't, I'm just worries that others might think I am the reason why they are assigned in the new department.
"You can think what you want to think. It's doesn't matter to me. If you don't want to believe then it's fine with me. If you don't have anything to say to me, I will excuse myself then. Have a great day, your highness."
I was about to return to the library when Prince Fraser caught my arms. I look back at him
and frown.
What does he wants from me again? Can he just let me off?
He stares at me for a few seconds. "Csille, I—"
He wasn't able to finish what he wants to say because someone speak behind us. We look
back and find the Butler staring at us. Specifically on Prince Fraser's hand that is holding my
arm.
Prince Fraser probably noticed where the Butler's eyes is staring because he suddenly let go of my arm. As if he is disgusted holding me.
He then look at the Butler. "Is Father looking for me already?"
The Butler nods his head. "Yes, your highness. His majesty wants to talk to you already."
Prince Fraser didn't say anything and return inside the Palace while I stare at him with a
frown.
He was about to say something to me before the Butler arrived. But what is it? What does he
wants to say?
I was too deep in my thoughts that I got startled when the Butler suddenly speak. I look at him and frown. "Pardon?"
The Butler smile and shakes his head. "Nothing, Dame Csille."
I frown even more when I heard what he said. I don't think that is nothing. That smile is
telling me it is something.
"Nothing? I don't think it's nothing. Tell me what is it?"
The Butler stares at me for a couple of seconds. "I just couldn't help but wonder how great it
will be if his highness ends up with you." He then smile sadly at me. "It is really unfortunate for the Vrawyth Kingdom to lose a Queen like you."
I just stare at the Butler. I don't know how to respond to what he said. The Vrawyth Kingdom is unfortunate to lose a Queen like me? More like the Kingdom is
fortunes to lose a Queen like me. Who would want to have a Queen who would betray her own
Kingdom?
I just smile at Butler. "Things happens for a reason. In the future you will realize why his
highness made a decision like that. Who knows maybe all of us will realize that his decision is best for the Kingdom?"
Of course, it is really the best decision. He just avoided the Kingdom from having a selfish
Queen like Dame Csille.
The Burtler stares at me with a visible confusion in his eyes. He looks like he wants to say
something to me but he didn't say anything to me. He just nods his head and excuse himself
after.
I look at his back before I look up the bright sky. "But what would it be like if Csille becomes the Queen of the Vrawyth Kingdom? Will she still be the villainess if that happens? Will she still betray the Vrawyth Kingdom?" I mumbled to myself.
I heave a sigh and shake my head. Why do I even think about things that is impossible to
happen? No matter how much I think about the possibilities, it will be futile since Csille's destiny was already written.
I will be uploading two chapters for today. I have made a mistake so I don't have a choice but
to update twice.
