Chapter 432: : Visiting the Western region (3)



I immediately get up and look around me. Afraid that Prince Fraser wilk comes out of nowhere to hurt me. I was still anxiously looking around when the door suddenly burt and someone rush inside.

Because it is already evening and the only light in my room is the moon, I can only see the silhouette of the person. I feel my heart freezes when the silhouette looks like Prince Fraser. I subconsciously rush to hide from him. I can feel my whole body trembling.

Is he here to kill me? Does he knows? Does he already knows that I am the villainess?

I was still panicking what to do when the someone open the lights in the room. I anxiously turn my head to the silhouette and my body falls on the ground when I see Brother Pascal instead of Prince Fraser.

"He isn't here. It's all a nightmare, Csille," I mumble to myself.

Brother Pascal rush towards me to help me sit on my bed. "Csille, what happened? I heard you shout that's why I rush to your room. Did something bad happened? Why did you shout just now? And why do you looks so terrified? Did someone came into your room?"

I look at Brother Pascal. Although my sight can see him, my brain is too busy thinking about the nightmare I had just now. It was too vivid that I really thought it was real.

"Csille? What happened? Why aren't you saying anything? You are making me more worried. Tell me what happened?"

And just like before I remain staring at him. A part of my brain is telling me to say something to him but my minf couldn't help but recall that nightmare.

Brother Pascal tried to talk to me a couple of times but because I don't respond to him, he end up helping lay on my bed again. But instead of living me alone in my own room, he decided to stay with me the whole night. He was probably worried that someone trespass our house and he just wants to make sure.

A few hours have passed and I could already hear Brother Pascal's steady breathing. It looks like he have fallen asleep now.

I have managed to calm myself already but my mind couldn't help but still think about that nightmare.

What is that dream about? Is it just a simple nightmare or something is giving me a sign?

Even if I don't sleep much after the nightmare, I still woke up early that morning. I was supposed to see Mister Flavian after meeting Mister Earnan but because Brother Pascal and I got exhausted, I wasn't able to meet them.

I look at the sofa where Brother Pascal used to sleep and I didn't find him there. He was probably having his breakfast already.

I freshen myself first before I look for Brother Pascal. He reminded me a couple of times not to leave the inn with him, so I don't have a choice but to bring him.

Also, I think this is a great opportunity for him to practice. He will soon reclaim the position of being a heir of the Lauretré Family. By bringing him with me, he will be able to practice his skills and abilities.

I have looked around the whole house already but I still couldn't find Brother Pascal. Which is odd because I know he wouldn't left me after what happened last night.

I was about to look outside hoping he was just there taking some breather but I was shocked to see Brother Pascal with Mister Flavian Vulso. Behind them are the other officials of the

western region. The officials who were handpicked by his majesty.

I look at Brother Pascal. Confused by what is happening. Why are the officials of the western region here? Did we do something wrong?

"Brother, why are they..." I look at Mister Vulso and the other officials.

Brother Pascal smile reassuringly at me. "I know you have a plan to have a meeting with Mister Vulso and the other officials of the western region. So, I brought them here because I was worried you still don't feel okay after last night."

Brother Pascal and I stares at the carriages of the officials that are now on their way to their offices. I heard they still need to finish their work for today to prepare for the small feast tonight. It seems like they really put importance to this feast.

"Csille, are you okay now? Maybe it's best if we don't have that feast tonight. What if-"

I look at Brother Pascal and interrupts him. "Can't you see how they are anticipating this feast, Brother? How can I make them disappointed? Don't worry, I am already okay. A little feast won't harm me."

After I said those words, I immediately excuse myself. I still need to write reports about the progress in the weaponry and in the western region. I need those if his majesty invited me. I know he is aware that I return to the western region and he will sure ask me questions. So to prepare myself, I need to write reports for him.

I look at the clock. It's still early but why do I feel like I don't have enough time to prepare these reports?

I finish making reports in the afternoon. So Brother was the only one who prepared things

for the Banquet. I tried to help him but he already told me that everything is prepared and all we need to do is to wait for fhe officials to return. So I don't have a choice but to do what he

said. To wait.

Night came. The officials arrived in our inn one by one, with plenty of gifts on their hands. Some have food, expensive clothes for me and Brother Pascal, jewelry for me and medical books for Brother Pascal. All of it probably cost a few thousands centimes.

I heave a sigh and let them in. I know they wouldn't agree not to spen money on us.

I look at the gifts they all given to us and shake my head. It was a lot. I don't even know how Brother Pascal and I will take care of it.

Since all the officials are already here, we started the small feast. We eat, drinks wine and talks about things. But it was Brother Pascal who is talking to the officials. My mind is preoccupied with things that's why I wasn't able to join their conversation. Although I would answer their questions from time to time.

I was busy eating my food when I suddenly feel a nudge on my side. I look at Brother Pascal who is sitting beside me. He also stares at me with a frown.

"Are you okay? Maybe we should end this feast now. You don't look okay to me."

I just smile reassuringly at him. "I am okay, Brother. I was just thinking about the work I

left. You know..."

I was referring to my position in the new department. I don't know why, but I have a sudden feeling that something happened there. I just don't know what is it. Brother Pascal nods his head. "If that was the case, maybe it's really best if-"

I shake my head. How can I do that? All these officials prepare for this feast. How can I make

their efforts put into waste?

"I am okay, Brother. You don't have to worry."

To not worry Brother Pascal, I tried my best to talk to the officials but I couldn't still help

but worry.

I have a gut feeling that something happened. I just don't know if it's a goof thing or a bad

thing.
