Chapter 434: : Kneel


    ?


    All of us were already inside the meeting hall but instead of talking about things in the department, we are all avoiding saying anything to each other.


    How can we? If the reason why we are here is because of the two Princes? Who will have the guts to reprimand these two?


    Even General Abarral and Colonel Randle who were the oldest among us, doesn''t dare. So, why would we?


    It''s a good thing the two Princes have stop staring like they will pounce at each other. Although, I feel like it has a bad implications on me because I can already feel shivers on my spine with the way two stares at me.


    Ohe on, I only ride a horse with their beloved. So, why do they need to stare at me as if I am taking her away from them? They could have her and I wouldn''tin. Just don''t stare at me like that.


    Anoter few minutes have passed but no one still dares to say anything. I''m afraid if this continues, we will all end up staying here for the whole day.


    I shake my head and heave a sigh. As much as I want to remain quiet, I know I couldn''t waste my time like this. I still have a lot of things to do today, I don''t want to waste another minutes of my day doing nothing at all.


    "Are we going to continue this staringpetition as if we don''t have work waiting for us?"


    All eyes turned to me. I can see that most of them feel relieved when someone speak up. However, someone looks like he doesn''t like what I said and that is Prince Fraser.


    "Before that, don''t you think you have exnation to do, DAME CSILLE?"


    I turn my head at Prince Fraser. Why does he made it sound like I was the one who caused all of this? If in fact, the reason why we are all here wasting our time is because of their fight?


    Is he using me as a scapegoat? Because he knows no one would dare to question their actions. So, he is turning the me on me? And he is doing this because they have seen me with Princess Paislee?


    I frown. "Your highness, I don''t understand why would I exin? What did I do?"


    He wants to use me? Does he really thinks I would take the me for this? I only want to help yet this Prince wants to push the me on me?


    Prince Fraser eyes bes sharp when he heard my questions. I can even see that he is trying to control his anger towards me. "You want me to remind you? You arrived here with Sir Farren riding the same horse. Yet here you are still asking me what did you do wrong? You are unmarrieddy. How can you do such a thing?"


    I knew it! He is mad on what he witnessed. Not because he is jealous of Sir Farren but it was the other way around. He is jealous of me. It''s the reason why he is doing this on me.


    I scoff. This Prince keeps disappointing me everyday. "Your highness, what are you trying to say? That I am such an easydy that I allow to ride in one horse with Sir Farren? Is that it?"


    Prince Fraser res at me. "Don''t try to put words in my mouth, Dame Csille. I am just simply asking you for an exnation."


    He is really serious about that one? That he wants me to exin things to him?


    Iugh sarcastically. I couldn''t help it. He is really testing my temper everyday. "Your highness, let me just remind you that you were the one who was having a fist fight here. So, why would I exin things if in the first ce, I wasn''t the one who cause havor here? Aren''t you supposed to be the one who exin things here?"


    He wants to put the attention on me? Then I will return the favor to him. Did he thinks that because he is the Crown Prince, no one will reprimand him?


    If they wouldn''t dare. Then I will. After all, he was the first one who reprimands me today.


    Prince Fraser grits his teeth. He is enraged because of what I said. "Dame Csille, I only want to hear your exnation. Why are you avoiding that question? Are you hiding things on us?"


    He! How could he question me like that? I shake my head in disappointment. "Your highness, I was with Sir Farren because I fetch him to stop the two of you. I know only he could stop the two of you from fighting. So, if you will keep questioning me like that, then I better leave this department. I don''t want to work with someone who doesn''t have trust on me. Also, I don''t think I have a right to do what I want to do with my life now. You are no longer my fianceé. That means I can be with anyone I want to be with."


    Prince Fraser''s eyes bes sharp. It seems like he didn''t like what I said just now. "I only care about yo-"


    I scoff. "Care? If you care about me, you wouldn''t dare to embarrass in front of important people that night. If you really care about me, you wouldn''t reprimand me in front of everyone. So, stop using this excuse because I won''t buy it." Iugh sadly before I stand up. "If you will only continue questioning me like this, then I would rather resign from my post. Don''t worry, I will be the one to exin things to his majesty." I bow ny head at him and leave the meeting room.


    To hell with him! If I only have a choice, I wouldn''t ept this position. I would rather stay for a year in the western region than to work with such a person.


    I heave a sigh and stop walking.


    Leave the department? I gently p ny mouth. How can I said those words? What if he didn''t stop me fron leaving? I am sure Mister Sewell will be enraged with this news.


    Ysavel, why do you always loves to put yourself in dangerous position. I should also start to make a decision when I am mad. Look what happened. What am I going to do now?


    I decided to go my office first and think of a way how to take back my words without making too obvious. I know I couldn''t resign from the department or else Mister Sewell will be mad at me. At the same time, I don''t want to admit defeat to that Prince. My pride won''t allow it. The first person I see inside my office is S who is walking back and forth around my office. She looks really anxious.


    "S? Is everything okay?"


    She immediately rush towards me when she see me. "Dame Csille, is everything okay? Did


    his highnesses got mad at you?"


    I was about to answer S when someone suddenly barge into my office. S and I both got startled because of her.


    "Dame Csille!" She said with full of urgency in her voice.


    What is Princess Paislee doing here? "Sir Farren? Do you need something?"


    I was startled when she suddenly grabbed my hand and held it tight. As if she was afraid I will be gone in a second. "Dame Csille, I apologize. I was the reason why his highness, Prince Fraser, got mad at you. I should have insist on not allowing you to ride the same horse with me. So, I hope you can forgive me. I will talk to Prince Fraser and tell him-"


    I shake my head and interrupt her. "It''s not your fault. Have you forgotten that I was the one who force you to do that. If I didn''t insist, then things wouldn''t progress to this. So, you don''t have to take the me for what happened."


    "But you said you will resign from your position. If you do that, I am sure the other will


    follo-"


    I shake my head. "It''s impossible. Even if I resign, I am sure no one will do that too. No one would dare to disobey his majesty''s order. So you don''t have to worry anymore."


    "But..."n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    I was about to say something to her when someone suddenly speak. We all look at the doorway and find Prince Fraser ring at us. Specifically on Princess Paislee''s hand that is


    holding tightly on mine.


    "Let her be, Sir Farren. If she wants to resign then let her. We don''t need someone who will give up her position over such a small strife. Let her go. I have something important to talk to you."


    I look at Prince Fraser with utter disbelief. How dare he me me again? If he didn''t push the me on me earlier, I wouldn''t have said those words. Why would I risk the safety of everyone for such a small matter?


    Princess Paislee stares at me with hesitancy. She then shakes her head and look at Prince Frader with determination before she gets on her knee.


    My eyes widen when I realizes what is happening. The dearest Crown Princess of the Aeerean Kingdom is kneeling in front of the Crown Prince of the Vrawyth Kingdom? I am sure if the Kingf of the Aeerean Kingdom knows about this, he will be enraged.


    Prince Fraser looks at Princess Paislee. "What are you doing, Sir Farren? Why are you


    kneeling there? Stand up."


    Princess Paislee shakes her head and look up at Prince Fraser. "Your highness, I was the reason why it happened. So, you don''t have to me Dame Csille for it. She only wants to help you and Prince Rufus. So, you don''t have to be mad at her. If there is someone you should me, it is me. I should have remain firm on my decision yet I allow Dame Csille to ride a horse with me. Please punish me for being impudent. I should have remembered that Dame Csille was your ex fianceé and it wouldn''t be right if anyone see me with her. So, you don''t have to worry. I will exin things to the rest so I can help Dame Csille clean her name." My eyebrow quirks a little when I heard what Princess Paislee said. So, she thought that the reason why Prince Fraser is reprimanding me is because he cares about my reputation? Princess Paislee, are you dumb or numb? How can you not see that Prince Fraser is jealous of me? And not the other way around.


    I look at Prince Fraser and wait for his response. I want to know what will his highness response. Will he admits that he doesn''t care about me or go with what Princess Paislee''s assumptions? But if he picks thetter wouldn''t that lower his chances to make Princess Paislee loves him?


    I can see that Prince Fraser is having a hard time right now. He looks like he wants to say something to Princess Paislee, but he just stares at her in the end.


    A moment after, he takes a deep breath. "Sir Farren, stand up. You don''t need to kneel."


    He didn''t give her answer because he knew that no matter what he said, he will be in a difficult situation. So, what he did is the most logical thing to do. It is to avoid answering it. However, Prince Fraser doesn''t know that he is dealing with another royalty. Princess Paislee shakes her head. "Your highness, I wouldn''t stand up here unless you would say that you are not allowing Dame Csille to leave the department."


    I look at Princess Paislee with aplicated gaze. I don''t know what to feel right now. She is doing all of these just to help me?


    I know I should be happy because I don''t need to worry about my resignation anymore. But I don''t feel so conflicted right now. Princess Paislee is taking the me for something I did and it made me feel guilty.


    I was about to help Princess Paislee but before I could get close to her, Prince Fraser have help her already. "Okay, I will pretend I didn''t heard what Dame Csille said earlier. Let''s just get out of here first. I have something more important to talk to you." Prince Paislee looks back first and give me an apologetic smile before he left my office.


    While on the other hand, Prince Fraser give me a death re before he follow Princess


    Paislee.


    "Dame Csille, what happened?"


    I look at S who has visible confusion in her expression. I just shake my head. "Prince


    Fraser happened."
