My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

"It's okay, Susie. I will walk with you in the coming days."

"I swear, brother, I will spend my whole life healing your wounds."

……

These days, everyone's life at the Imperial College has gradually returned to normal.

The matter of Mudrick and the Iron Wolf Mercenaries has been investigated by the Imperial Royal Commissioner, and the rest of the people have already completed the interrogation and record-keeping, so there is no need for them to intervene in this matter anymore.

On the day he returned to normal life, Orson gave Litt a big gift.

"Lite." Orson, carrying a lot of bags, opened the door of Litt's bedroom directly.

At this moment, Litt was sitting at his desk reviewing the contents of the midterm exam. He was stunned when he saw Orson come in.

"Orson...what are you doing?"

"I bought some things you'll definitely like." Orson piled all the gift boxes on Lit's bed. "Open them and take a look."

"Huh?" Li Te hesitated for a moment after hearing that, but still did as he was told.

Then she placed the contents of the package on the bed one by one.

From the moment she saw the lace pattern, she felt something was wrong.

Then she unfolded a folded piece of cloth and her eyes widened in surprise.

Orson actually bought himself four or five sets of women's clothing.

"Orson, this is..."

"I've been busy these days and haven't had much time to spend with you, so I thought about buying you something. Then it suddenly occurred to me that as a girl, it's not a big deal for you to wear men's clothes all day long. At least in the dormitory, when there are no outsiders around, you can try wearing these."

"Girls should always look like girls."

At least, after knowing that Lit is his younger sister, Orson no longer doubts his own sexual orientation. He pampers Lit as his younger sister and no longer feels awkward as before.

Today, under the strange gaze of the clothing store clerk, Orson bought several sets of women's clothing. If it weren't for the fact that the styles of women's clothing were all small, the clerk would have thought that Orson wanted women's clothing himself.

So to speak, for the sake of his sister, he is willing to sacrifice his reputation and do many things. In fact, he can be considered as a half-hidden sister-con.

"I'm going to go out first. If you find anything good, just change it here. Just call me when you're done."

Then Orson walked out of Litt's room and waited against the wall.

And Litt, who stayed in the house, was also in trouble at this moment.

Looking at the five sets of clothes on the bed, she didn't know what to wear.

She glanced at a light princess dress with lots of straps that looked difficult to wear, so she just passed it by.

Finally, Lee

I specially chose a blue printed dress that looks more comfortable to wear.

Afterwards, she changed into a pair of white jacquard tights and turned around in front of the mirror. Then, Lit suddenly felt something awaken in his heart.

It is said that girls love beauty, and Leeteuk is no exception.

In the past, Lit had never come into contact with those cute women's clothes. After coming to the aristocratic family, she always wore men's clothes and never had any requirements for her own dress.

But now when she saw herself in the mirror, she was surprised to find that she was not inferior to Olivia...

Of course, after seeing the comparison of chests, Lit admitted that there was still a small gap between him and Olivia.

But only in that area!

Having witnessed his own charm, Litt now has more confidence in defeating Orson.

Then she knocked on the door.

Orson had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When he heard Litt knocking on the door, he immediately opened it.

Then, looking at Litt standing at the door, Orson showed a satisfied look.

"Well, that's great. She's worthy of being my sister!"

For some reason, when Lit heard Orson say this, combined with Orson's expression, he felt a little unhappy.

So, this guy Orson has always regarded himself as a junior and has not regarded himself as a person of the opposite sex of the same age at all, right?

Li Te suddenly felt a little angry.

The little bit of confidence that I had just built up by looking in the mirror was almost gone after Orson's blow.

Thinking of this, Litt couldn't help but reach out and hug Orson's arm, and deliberately put his arm against his chest.

Actually, objectively speaking, Leeteuk's chest is of a certain size. Although it looks flat when it is wrapped up, it is not as painful as a steel plate when it is let down.

But if you ask me how big it is, it is definitely not that big, otherwise it would not be able to be wrapped around and would have been exposed long ago.

But it was a girl's chest after all. When Orson's arm touched there and felt the touch, he couldn't help but blush slightly.

"Oh, Orson, you blushing?"

"Little girl!" Seeing that Litt was deliberately teasing him, Orson quickly pulled his hand out and hit Litt on the forehead.

"I am an adult male. Before you act, please carefully consider the consequences of provoking an adult male."

Orson said this half-warning and half-jokingly, and then continued to praise:

"I originally thought that you would become less feminine after wearing men's clothes for so long. It seems that I was worrying too much."

"Hey! After all, I'm the same age as you, Orson!"

"Yes, but you can't tell at all. Believe it or not, if we go out now, nine out of ten people will say we are brother and sister."

"Tsk, isn't it just because you're taller?"

"Sorry, Gao can do whatever he wants." Orson smiled, then put his hand on Litt's head and started rubbing it.

Although Litt said one thing, his body showed another. Feeling Orson's touch, Litt still squinted his eyes comfortably like a kitten.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door downstairs. The charming atmosphere between the two people disappeared instantly. Orson hurriedly pushed Litt into the room, and he went downstairs to greet the guest.

Orson came to the door and opened it. Standing at the door was Elsa, who had some unpleasantness with Orson before.

"Your Highness? What are you doing here?" Orson asked puzzledly.

"Well... there are some things I want to ask you, Orson."

"Oh, okay, please come in and talk." Orson said as he took Elsa to the living room.

"Please tell me, Princess. I will tell you everything I know." Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Orson looked at Elsa and asked.

"Um, isn't Leeteuk in the dorm today?"

"Are you looking for Lit? He is resting upstairs. If you are looking for him, I will go and call him down for you now."

"Well, that's not necessary." Elsa shook her head and said, "I came here this time to ask for details about the Mudrick series of cases."

"Didn't I already report the specific details to you, Princess? You should be aware of them."

"Our questions were not very accurate at the time. We only asked roughly about the occurrence and process of the incident."

"Now that we have examined Mudrick's body and read through the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group, we have obtained some detailed intelligence and have some new questions. So I would like you to answer them for me one by one, okay?"

"Of course." Orson nodded. "I've said it before, I will tell you everything I know."

"Okay, then, I want to ask, the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group has been invaded before, right?"

"That should be the case. I don't know the details, but Your Highness Princess, you know that in organizations like mercenaries, the members' discipline is generally not very good, especially in their daily lives. That's why Saint Laurent City arranges them in the outer city areas, right?"

"..." Elsa stared at Orson, "You know that's not what I meant."

"I want to ask, you must have already plotted to eliminate the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group before, right?"

"Of course, after all, the Iron Wolf Mercenaries wanted to harm our family's benefactor, so we certainly couldn't just sit back and watch. However, we didn't intend to destroy the Iron Wolf Mercenaries at the time, we just wanted to teach them a little lesson."

The empire's legal system is actually quite strange. Although private fighting is expressly prohibited, it is very vague when it comes to trials and convictions.

The same is true for murder cases. Unless the deceased is a noble or an influential businessman, their family can pay a large sum of money to the court or the police station to persuade them to investigate. If a normal resident's family is missing or someone dies inexplicably outside, and the police station is called to investigate, they will just register the case and basically will not handle it. At most, they will ask the security guards to take a look at the situation, make a record and then come back.

If you really want to solve the case, you have to hire a private detective to follow the clues.

"I'll be frank with you." Elsa said. "Orson, didn't you say before that you don't like me beating around the bush and threatening you?"

"This time I won't mention that the wounds on the Iron Wolf Mercenaries were not caused by the crazy Mudrick, nor will I mention that you developed underground forces in the Imperial City, let alone that you secretly sent people to sneak into other people's garrisons to mess up their contracts."

"I don't need to ask any of these questions. I just want to ask one question." Elsa said this and raised her finger to make a "1" sign.

"It's a small town near Saint Laurent. The mayor of Constant City, Drizzt, has died. Do you have any clues?"

"What clue do I have?" Orson tilted his head and looked at Elsa in confusion.

"Although it's close to the Imperial City, the other party is just a small baron. Would I go out of my way to think about him? That's not a joke."

Chapter 5: True Heart for True Heart (K)

"Yes, I wouldn't have thought about it that way." Elsa nodded after hearing that, "But..."

As she said this, Elsa took out a contract, the one signed between the Iron Wolf Mercenaries and Trist.

"Baron Drizzt had cooperated with the Iron Wolf Mercenaries before his death. You are the only ones who can and have the motive to take action against Baron Drizzt."

Seeing that Orson was about to say something, Elsa interrupted him.

"Don't try to reason with me. I know I'm not as good at talking as you are."

"Sincerity for sincerity, tell me whether this has anything to do with you, and I will help you cover it up and let you completely get rid of this matter."

"No thanks." Orson shook his head.

Since Elsa has already insisted that he did it, he can't deny anything.

I don't know how Elsa got the information. It's obvious that he didn't leave any clues during the process.

It can't be that he asked a fortune teller to calculate it, right?

But no matter what, Orson himself was unwilling to have too much involvement with Elsa in this matter.

Elsa's identity has already determined that if Orson cooperates with her, someone with ulterior motives will definitely make trouble for him.

Although the rise to power of emperors in every dynasty was accompanied by a period of internal struggle, Orson now has no power except the identity of the Duke's son. The real decision-making power is still in the hands of his father Lucius. He does not want to be a son who betrays his father, so he will not force Lucius to change camp with him through his own decision in school.

"Why?" Elsa showed a puzzled expression. "Although the baron is the lowest level of hereditary noble title, they are also nobles protected by the laws of the empire!"

In the empire, there is a law that always distinguishes nobles from commoners, wealthy businessmen and the like. It is also this law that divides the empire into two camps: nobles and non-nobles.

Merchants tried their best to spend money to become nobles because of this law.

That is the "Nobility Protection Act".

At the beginning of the establishment of the empire, although the first emperor enfeoffed many nobles of all sizes, the central government's power and influence were still very great at that time.

After several generations, the ability of the rulers gradually declined and they could no longer suppress the local forces. Only then did they enfeoff several grand dukes and hand over all the land outside the direct jurisdiction of the royal family to the dukes.

However, in order to prevent the dukes from directly governing the land too smoothly and arbitrarily annexing the land under their control, thereby further expanding their own power, the emperor of the empire at that time, while ensuring the current political system, also formulated a set of laws specifically designed to protect the small nobles.

The "Law on the Protection of Nobility" clearly states that since nobles exist because their families have made great contributions to the empire in history, the right to life and property of all nobles are protected by the empire, which will also benefit their descendants. If an ordinary person tries to undermine these two rights of the nobles, the empire will directly punish them.

In all social occasions, ordinary people must salute nobles when they see them wearing family coats of arms, no matter whether the nobles are as high as dukes and princes, or as low as barons.

The noble's superior lords may not arbitrarily reclaim the noble's fiefdom unless the noble has done damage to the empire sufficient to offset the contributions of his ancestors.

As for the criteria for judgment, it depends entirely on the decision of the Imperial Court.

Yes, the role of the Imperial Court was not to hear cases between ordinary people.

Ordinary people are not worthy of the services of a judge.

Only the nobility, and later the wealthy merchants, could mediate conflicts of interest through the courts.

Only when land and property disputes arise between nobles, or when human lives are lost, will the Imperial Court take charge of mediating these issues.

As for the credibility of the Imperial Court, it is guaranteed.

There are a total of seven chief justices in the Imperial Court, one from each royal territory and each duchy. Once they take office, they will serve for life until they voluntarily retire.

There is no need to worry about the Chief Justice being partial and bending the law during the trial of the case. Above the Imperial Court, there is a more powerful judge, and that is the emperor.
