Why Did I Become the Villainess?

Chapter 107 - : The Kingdoms

 I decided to just stay in a pastry shop close to the Vrawyth Kingdom's residence. I cannot stroll in the street of Saiven Kingdom anymore because the royalties are still out. 

 I'm sure if they see me again, they'll definitely invite me again to join them, and that is not what I want. I just want to enjoy this peaceful day which is rare for the villainess.

 "Here's your Prinsesstårta, young Miss," the waiter puts the Prinsesstårta on the table and left immediately.

 I look outside the window and sigh. I originally plan to stroll around the streets and enjoy some street foods, but I cannot even do that because of the royalties. 

 I should have disguised myself as a man so I can freely walk outside the streets. But if I do that, no one can prove that I was out, which may result for them to accuse me of being the one behind the flower. 

 I look at the Prinsesstårta and sigh. 

 Prince Joachim Brissaud, the forgotten prince of the Yesian Kingdom. Prince Wischard Devine of the Wrezatia Kingdom. Prince Reeve Launselot and Princess Roese Launselot of the Saiven Kingdom. Why are they together? 

 The Saiven and Yesian Kingdoms are the allies of the Vrawyth Kingdom right from the start. So, it's inevitable if they are close together. But the Wrezatia Kingdom? They are the neutral kingdom, so what is the Crown Prince of the Wrezatia doing with the Saiven and Yesian? 

 If the other Kingdoms know it. I'm sure they will be agitated. The neutral Kingdom seems like taking its side now. Will it side with the Vrawyth Kingdom? 

 If it's true, what made them want to take sides? If this happens, wouldn't the balance among the kingdoms will be broken? 

 There are seven Kingdoms in this world. The strongest is the Vrawyth Kingdom, where I am currently living. The second strongest Kingdom is the Aeslaerean, where Princess Paislee came from. 

 The Vrawyth and the Aeslaerean Kingdoms have been rivals for years now. Even the other Kingdoms have taken sides. Two Kingdoms ally with us, and the two other Kingdoms ally with the Aeslaerean. Only the Wrezatia Kingdom hasn't taken any side, which made an equilibrium among all the other Kingdoms.

 If the neutral Kingdom, Wrezatia, decided to pick a side, this will definitely result in war. No matter which Kingdom it sides, war will be inevitable. That's the reason why right from the start, every King of the Wrezatia decided to dissociate themselves from the other Kingdoms for the peace of all Kingdoms. 

 But why does the Crown Prince of the Wrezatia doing here? The Wrezatia always avoid interactions with any Kingdoms because they are afraid that it will result in conflicts between the rival kingdoms. It's the first time that the Crown Prince of the Wrezatia Kingdom was seen in public. 

 Is something will happen? But the war is supposed to happen ten years from now. So, why is this happening?

 I take a notebook from my bag. I always bring a notebook with me. It's been a habit of mine that I still have until now. Being a writer all my life, I always bring a notebook with me in case a plot comes out of my mind suddenly.

 Let me recall all the necessary information about every Kingdom. Although the second version of my story is still on-going, but most of the things in the first version of the novel will retain in the second version, and that includes the war between the Kingdoms.

 There are seven Kingdoms in this world. The strongest is the Vrawyth Kingdom. Vrawyth Kingdom has the largest land in this world. It doubles the land of the Aeslaerean Kingdom. The land in the Vrawyth Kingdom is the most abundant and healthy, which is the reason why the Vrawyth Kingdom is the main supplier of crops in this world. Aside from the land, Vrawyth also have an ocean in its northern region. That ocean have abundant fishes and seafood, which also makes the Vrawyth Kingdom the main supplier for seafood. 

 Aside from being the main supplier of all the necessities in this world. The Vrawyth Kingdom is also the most powerful one. Of course, with the exception of the Illorian City. The Vrawyth Kingdom army can destroy the Saiven Kingdom in just one day. It's a blessing that the Saiven Kingdom is an ally of the Vrawyth. 

 For this reason, the Vrawyth Kingdom still remains on its top spot right from the start. The Aeslaerean tried many times to take the spot, but no matter what they did, they couldn't surpass the Vrawyth Kingdom. 

 The Aeslaerean Kingdom may be smaller than the Vrawyth. But its land is rich in gold and silver. It's the reason why the Aeslaerean Kingdom is the main supplier of gold and jewelry. Aside from it, the Aeslaerean Kingdom has a unique Educational system. Most of the geniuses of the other Kingdoms have studied in the Aeslaerean, which is also the reason why Princess Paisles is a wise and intelligent person. 

 Although the army of the Aeslaerean cannot be compared to the Vrawyth Kingdom if it's based on its strength. But among all the Kingdoms, only the Aeslaerean have thousands of soldiers. Some say it's already a hundred thousand. The Vrawyth only has half a hundred thousand soldiers. It's the reason why the Aeslaerean is considered on par with the Vrawyth.

 The third strongest Kingdom, which is an ally of the Aeslaerean, is the Ouqeaseon Kingdom. They are the closest Kingdom to the Aeslaerean, which is also the reason why they have a friendly relationship with each other. The Aeslaerean people can even come to the Ouqeaseon Kingdom without worry. 

 The Ouqeaseon might be the third strongest, but aside from that title and having an equal mass of land with the Aeslaerean, they actually don't have anything special with them. Although they are neighbors of the Aeslaerean, the Ouqeaseon Kingdom is not blessed with gold or silver. 

 The fourth strongest and also an ally of the Aeslaerean Kingdom is the Stozeterra Kingdom. However, compared to the Ouqeaseon Kingdom, the Stozeterra is far away from Aeslaerean. In fact, it is the neighboring Kingdom of the Vrawyth. Although the Stozeterra and Vrawyth are neighbors, the Stozeterra hates the Vrawyth Kingdom. They think that the Vrawyth is taking advantage of their weakness. That's why they decided to side with the Aeslaerean in exchange that they will be protected by the Aeslaerean.

 Compared with the Ouqeaseon, which doesn't have anything special with them. The Stozeterra is the main supplier of weapons. They are known for having the best forger of weapons. All the weapons they made are high quality, and among all the forgers from the other Kingdoms, only the Stozeterra forgers can create high quality weapons.

 The only downside of the Stozeterra is they are closest to the Vrawyth. The Vrawyth occupies most of the land, and only a little was given to them. Its land mass can even be compared to the size of the Saiven Kingdom. Without its forging technique, it probably couldn't take the fourth spot for the strongest kingdom. 

 The fifth on the list is the Wrezatia Kingdom. The neutral Kingdom. There's nothing much to say about the Kingdom since it's been aloof with other Kingdoms. After the Vrawyth and the Aeslaerean Kingdom becomes rivals. All the Kingdom's knowledge about Wrezatia is they have average strength and intelligence. Even in the Grand Exemplary Competition, the Wrezatia always ends up at the bottom. 

 If not for their land mass which is even bigger than the Aeslaerean and the Ouqeaseon Kingdoms. They would probably be at the bottom of the list. Although they have bigger mass land, but its location is not as good as the Aeslaerean or Ouqeaseon Kingdoms. Most of the land is not suitable for planting. There's no gold or silvers in there too. But since its land is more extensive, it also equates to having a higher number of people. A higher number of people means a higher number of soldiers. They even said the Wrezatia could even be compared to the number of the army of Vrawyth Kingdom.

 The sixth strongest Kingdom is the Yesian Kingdom. The Yesian Kingdom doesn't have anything special with it. Aside from having a bigger land mass than the Saiven Kingdom. It can be said that the Saiven and the Yesian are more like on par with each other. The only difference is that the Yesian Kingdom have a healthier land than the Saiven Kingdom. 

 The seventh and the weakest Kingdom among all the other Kingdoms is the Saiven Kingdom. This Kingdom is considered the cursed Kingdom because they are the most farthest Kingdom, and their lands are not even healthy, which makes it difficult for them to plant crops. They even take half of their food from the other Kingdoms. 

 And because they don't have much food, their energy cannot be compared to the army of the five Kingdoms or even the Yesian Kingdom. If not because the Saiven Kingdom is under the protection of the Vrawyth Kingdom. It has probably been colonized long ago.

 Seven Kingdoms divided into two, but now the remainder wants to take sides. That definitely doesn't sound good. But maybe I am wrong? Maybe Prince Wischard just wants to be friends with the royalties from the Saiven and Yesian. 

 But what if I'm not wrong? What if he is really siding with him? What will happen to the Vrawyth Kingdom now? We cannot afford to have a war against the three strongest Kingdoms. The Aeslaerean definitely has a high chance of winning because their army is doubled compared to the Army of Vrawyth. And with the addition of the Stozeterra Kingdom, which forges the best among the best weapons. We'll definitely lose. 

 What would I do now? Will I tell Prince Fraser about this? But he still has problems with the Strzalka. Will it become too much of a burden for him? Also, I'm not even sure about the purpose of the Crown Prince of the Wrezatia. What if I got too paranoid? 

 I slump my head on the table. Damn, why do I always have problems? I am not the female lead of the story, okay? But why am I the only one who is having problems here? While the female lead just has to deal with Prince Fraser's safety. Isn't this too unfair? 

 I look at the cake and sigh. I take a bite of it. "To say," and take another bite, "or not to say?" I've taken another bite, "to say," and take another bite, "or to say." It then ends up with to say. 

 I sigh. I guess I have no choice but say it to Prince Fraser. It's better for him to know it so he could decide what to do after. 

 I look at the clock hanging on the wall, and my eyes widened when I realized what time is it already. It's already almost seven o'clock in the evening. It's the reason why I feel my lower body getting numb from sitting so long. 

 I immediately fixed my things and left the pastry shop immediately. Will Prince Fraser get angry with me again because I came home late? I didn't even bring a guard with me. What if the Strzalka decided to attack again and takes me? 

 "You're so dumb, Csille," I whispered to myself while walking hurriedly. It's a good thing the shop is closer to the Vrawyth residence. If anything happens to me, the guards will immediately see it.

 The guards immediately open the gate when they see me. "Lady Lauretré. You're late again? The Crown Prince and the rest are inside already. I also heard there is a commotion inside. Although I don't know the specific."

 I smiled politely at the guards and said my thanks to them before hurriedly walks towards the residence we are staying in. The commotion the guard is referring to is probably because of the Monkshood flower.

 I frown when I saw one teacher inside our residence. I know that what I did is disturbing, but I didn't expect Prince Fraser to ask for help from a teacher.

 Oh, no. Did I make a mistake again? If the Saiven Kingdom knows about this, I'm sure they will run a thorough investigation about this matter. Of course, how can they let something happen inside their Kingdom? 

 I think I made a mistake again. Great Ysavel! What a smart move!
