Why Did I Become the Villainess?

Chapter 426: : The Queen's Visit



I was about to explain things to them when a carriage stops in front of the building. So, we don't have a choice but to welcome her majesty.

I will problem explain everything later. I glance at Leander and glares at him. This guy is really getting on my nerves now.

Why can't he understand that it is impossible for the two of us? Why does he keeps doing things that would make people think that we have some kind of relationship?

I heave a sigh. How am I supposed to make them believe that there is nothing going on between Leander and I. I know that they already have assumptions right not and I am sure it coincides with Attorney Kirsa's assumptions.

Great! You just put yourself in such a mess, Csille. Why do you always mess up things?

We immediately bows our head when the Queen get off the carriage. While the two Princes help the Queen. They were the one who will acts as the hosts for today's visit.

I look at the two Princes and the Queen talking to each other happily. Then I smile bitterly.

That used to be my place. Prince Fraser and I used to be the one who act as the hosts every time there will guests. But everything changed.

I am no longer a host. I am just a simple person that welcomes the guests. Far from the role I usually play before.

Her majesty stares around the entrance of the building and nods her head. "His majesty is right. The building is still suitable to use but we definitely need a lot of repairs for this." Her eyes wander around the building before she looks at Prince Fraser who is standing beside her. "My dear Prince Fraser, do me a favor and do costing on how much funds do we need to repain this building. I want to have it before I leave."

Prince Fraser nods his head. "Yes, Mother. I will immediately work on it later." He then look at us. "Mother, why don't I introduce you to the people who will be working in the Department of War and Welfare?"

The Queen looks at us with a warm smile. "I been wanting to meet them so please do the privilege, Prince Fraser."

The two Princes guide the Queen towards us. We then bow our heads and greet her majesty.

Because General Abarral and Colonel Randle are the one standing infront, they were the ones Price Fraser introduces first.

Although I think this introduction is quite unnecessary now. Her majesty knows almost everyone working in the monarchy, so there is no way she wouldn't be aware who are the people working in the new department.

"Your majesty, this is General Blavier Abarral. He is the current General of the army of the Kingdom. He is also the youngest General we ever had. His majesty assigned him to build a secret army that will help the Kingdom once the war breakouts."

The Queen nods her head with Prince Fraser explanation. She then look at Colonel Randle who is standing beside General Abarral.

Prince Fraser gesture his hand at Colonel Randle Lamare. "This is Colonel Randle, your majesty. He is the current Colonel of the army. He is known as one of the best tactician the army have. We won't be able to win the war against the Aeslaerean Kingdom two years ago. He was assigned to be the head statician for upcoming war. He will also help General Abarral in training the secret army."

The Queen smile at General Abarral and Colonel Randle. "Thank you for accepting this position, General and Colonel. I know that the both of you are already busy in the army yet you still didn't hesitate to accept this."

My lips quirks when I heard what her majesty said. If she only knew that no one among us want any position in the new department.

General Abarral bows his head to the Queen. "It will be forever my honor to work in this department your majesty. I should be the one thanking his majesty for trusting me with such an important position. I will do my best to fulfill the work that was assigned to me."

Colonel Randle immediately follow General Abarral. He also bows his head and say his thank you to the Queen.

The Queen give them a smile and some kind words before she ask Prince Fraser to contort his introduction.

Prince Fraser stops in front of us. I noticed that he got silence for a few seconds when his eyes met mind but he immediately regain his composure. He gestures his hand at Leander who is standing a few inches from me.

"Your majesty, I know you are already familiar with Doctor Leander. So I will just explain what is his work in the department will be. He is assigned to create supplements that will strengthen the body of the soldiers of the secret army. He will also be assigned to trained a team of Doctors who will be deployed to army camp when the war comes."

Her Majesty gives Leander a grateful smile. "I am glad you accepted this offer, Doctor Leander. I am sure the army wouldn't get worried because we have a competent Doctor like you."

Leander shakes his head. "How can I reject such an opportunity, your majesty? It is my honor to do this for the Kingdom."

I almost roll my eyes when I heard what he said. Did he forgot that he used to reject the idea of working in the new department?

Prince Fraser stares at the three of us Attorney Kirsa, Advisor Mallory and Csille. "Your majesty, they are the ladies who will also work in the department."

Prince Fraser stares at me for a a couple of seconds before he look back at the Queen. "Your majesty, you probably knew well who Dame Csille is. She-"

Before Prince Fraser could continue what he wants to say, the Queen already rush to hug me tight. "My dear Csille, I am happy to have you here. I can be assured now that everything will be okay." She then breaks off from the hug and stares at me warmly. Like a Mother who only seen her child for a long time.

I look at her majesty and smile at her. I tried my best not to make my smile look awkward. Even if deep inside of me, I feel awkward with what is happening.

I suddenly feel burdened with her majesty's word. Why did she made it sound like the Department will be in jeopardy if I am not here. If she only knew how much it will succeed without me here.

"Your majesty, you are flattering me too much. I am sure the department will do fine without me."

The Queen shakes her head. "Do you think I wouldn't know what you did? If not because of you the department wouldn't have such an outstanding people working in it."

I feel my body freezes when I noticed the stares of the people around us. Your majesty, I thought you are my ally? Why are you selling me out? I am definitely sure they are mad at me now that they know I was the reason why all of us will be working in the

new department.

I glance at Attorney Kirsa and Advisor Malllory but I immediately avoid my eyes from them because I can feel shiver on my spine with the way they stares at me.

They are mad and I am sure I will be doom later.

Your majesty, what did I do to you to deserve this?

After the awkward introduction, the two Princes starts to show the Queen around the Kingdom. I tried to get away from the Queen but before I could even do that, she already clings her arm to mine. Leaving me no choice but to stay beside her.

While rest of them follow us behind. I tried my best to minimizes my presence. Afraid that if

I ever said anything, the people follow behind us will immediately come back at me. However, her majesty would always wants to hear my thoughts on things. So, I have no choice

but to talk.

The Queen look around my office and nods her head. We are now showing the Queen the offices we will using and we are currently in my office. Checking if there are things that needs

repairs.

The Queen then stares at me. "Dame Csille, are you the one who design the interior of your

office?"

I look around my office before I nod my head at the Queen. I was the one who design it. Sela just help me organizing things but the way things were organized is based on what I have told

her.

"Yes, your majesty. Is there something you don't like? I can ask someone to fix it for you."

The Queen shakes her head. "No, everything is fine. In fact, I love your office. It has a cozy ambiance with a beautiful balance of elegance and simplicity. However, the ceiling looks like is about to fall," she then look at Prince Fraser standing behind me. "Prince Fraser, find someone who will fix this for Dame Csille. We need to make sure that the whole building is safe for everyone to use."

"Yes, your majesty. I will immediately ask someone to check the all the ceilings and see if we need to change it all. You don't have to worry Mother, I will never put all of us endanger." The Queen nods her head in satisfaction. "That is good," she then look at me and hold my arm again. "Dame Csille, why don't you brew us some tea? It's been a long time since I have had your tea. Can you do me a favor and brew us some tea? While we talk about the things in

the Department."

"It will be my honor to do that, your majesty."

Her majesty nods her head in satisfaction before she looks at the people behind us. "All of you follow us behind. I want to hear your thoughts about the new department."

The seven of us, Csille, Leander, General Abarral, Colonel Randle, Attorney Kirsa, Advisor Mallory and Prince Rufus sets off to the tea room. While Prince Fraser left behind to do what The majesty ask him to do.

I immediately start to do a simple ceremony while the rest are watching the every move I do. It's a good thing I was already use wity their stares so it doesn't interrupt me with what I am

doing.

A few moments after, I have finished the brewing and I am now gently pouring each of their

teacups with tea.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Her majesty gracefully takes her teacup and sips her tea. While I was standing in front waiting for her comments.

I am confident with my tea but I still couldn't help but feel nervous with her majesty

remarks.

What if she didn't like it? Will I be in trouble if that happens?

It's a good thing the things I was worried about didn't happen. Her majesty looks at me and

nod her head in satisfaction. "Your tea is still the best tea I have tasted. It is such I waste II wouldn't be able to taste it everyday." She shakes her head in regret.

I know what she is talking about. Just like the King, the Queen have regret that my

engagement with Prince Fraser got canceled.

I just give her majesty a small smile. What am I supposed to say to her? It wouldn't be good

if I agree. The Queen gesture her hands to Prince Rufus and the rest to takes a sip of their tea. All of them immediately follow the Queen and sips on their tea.

It's the first time I have made tea for other people beside from my family, the royal family and the judges in the Exemplary Competition years ago. So, I don't know if they will like it. General Abarral and Colonel just nods their heads but I can already deduce from their expressions that they like. While Advisor Mallory smile at me a sign that she likes it.

"This is good. I guess what they said is true. That your tea is one of the best tea you can

taste."

I was about to thank Attorney Kirsa but someone cuts me first.

"It really is. You cannot find such tea even if you look around."

I look at Prince Fraser and frown. I didn't expect I would hear it from him. What is

happening? Why does he seem so nice to me today?
