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

"Although I don't know why you seem to have a special liking for Li Te, I hope you don't spoil him. You are just his brother and you can't accompany him for the rest of his life."

"He will eventually be out of your protection in the future. By that time, your current doting on him will turn into harm to him."

"I understand, Father." Orson nodded.

Yes, because of worry

Just like in the original book, Lit was bullied and thus bore a grudge against Orson. In the past two days, Orson's attitude towards Lit has been like holding him in his hands for fear of dropping him, and holding him in his mouth for fear of melting him.

He always takes Lituo's feelings into consideration in everything he does, and is always inexplicably wary of Lituo.

This almost doting attitude is not suitable for Leeteuk's development, but will instead spoil him.

To be honest, if Litt was spoiled, Orson would no longer be a threat.

But does Orson want this?

Because they know that you are the protagonist, they strangle your possibilities in the cradle at the very beginning, making it impossible for you to make any progress in your life.

Is this fair to Leeteuk?

That's obviously unfair.

"Yeah." Lucius nodded and patted Orson's shoulder. "To be honest, I'm glad to see that you are willing to do this for your brother."

"Tell me, Orson." He looked Orson in the eye.

"What do you want?"

The two looked at each other for a long time, and then Orson said with a smile: "Father, although you may not believe it, I am really not interested in the position of Duke."

"Rather than end up in a position I don't like, it's better to train Leeteuk to be someone who can take over your father's position now."

"Since you said you don't want to be a duke, then, as a father, I would like to ask, what are your ambitions, Orson?" Lucius stared at Orson.

Chapter 19: I Want You

"So, Miss, are you really going to the Duke's Mansion?" Outside the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, Lorenzo asked, looking at Chelinina sitting in the carriage.

"Yes." Chelinina nodded. "There are some things I have to discuss with myself, Uncle Lorenzo. I know why my father arranged for you to stay with me. Please take a rest today."

"..." Lorenzo widened his eyes when he heard this, and then he nodded silently.

"Well, in that case, Miss, please be safe on the road."

"Ah."

The carriage then drove away and headed into the distance.

Orson sat in the room. Ever since the conversation with his father Lucius that night, he had been gradually strengthening Lit's training over the past half month.

At the beginning, Lit couldn't even hold the sword steadily, but slowly he was able to dance with the sword quite well.

But this is not enough.

Litt still can't even reach the first level of strength, which gives Orson a headache.

Is it really impossible for me to change the direction of the plot? Is it true that Li Te can only be admitted through Lucius's recommendation?

He wanted to increase his training volume, but Leeteuk's body obviously wouldn't allow it.

Just at this moment, the butler Albert walked in.

"Master Orson." He said this, bowing respectfully. "Agent Chelinina from the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce is looking for you."

Hearing the name, Orson frowned.

"Why did she come to see me? Didn't I tell her the detailed requirements for the construction of the new urban area in the letter before?"

"I don't know that."

"Okay, bring her to my room, and ask Vivian to bring two cups of coffee."

"Okay." Albert nodded and then walked out of the room.

A minute later, the door opened again.

Orson was already sitting at the coffee table and pointed to the sofa in front of him.

"Please take a seat, Miss Chelinina."

"Yeah." Chelinina nodded and sat opposite Orson.

She habitually stretched out her hand and looked at the coffee table, and was stunned when she saw that there was nothing on it.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't expect you to come. I just asked the servant to get some coffee, so it might take a while for him to get it." Orson smiled. "Ms. Chelinina, why did you think of coming to see me today?"

"Mr. Orson, please tell me the truth." Chelinina sat opposite Orson.

In the past half month, every time Orson corresponded with Chelinina, he would add Litt's name after his signature.

"There is absolutely no need for you to put pressure on me through Master Lit."

"Oh?" Orson frowned when he heard that. "When did I put pressure on you through Lit? If I remember correctly, I only met you once with Lit."

"Heh." Upon hearing this, Chelinina stared at Orson. "Although I don't know how you knew that I wanted to interfere in the succession of the Stranik family, I don't like to do so many twists and turns when doing business."

"As long as the goal can be achieved..."

"As long as you can achieve your goal and the price is appropriate, you should go back and do it, right?" Orson said the famous words of Chelinina in the original book before Chelinina could.

"How do you know..."

"I've said it before, we have common interests," said Orson.

Just then, the door opened and Vivian walked in with two cups of coffee.

"This cup is for Master Orson, and this cup is for Miss Chelinina. Master Orson specifically asked for sugar to be added." After Vivian finished speaking, she put away the tray, bowed to the two of them, and left the room.

"You know all this?" Chelinina looked at Orson in disbelief.

"Of course." Orson nodded. "Coffee is bitter. It's good for keeping alert while working, but if you like to drink coffee during your breaks, you need to add sugar. After adding sugar, although it still tastes bitter, the sweet aftertaste is nice, isn't it?"

"Master Orson is so elegant that he can taste so much from my simple preference for sweetness." Chelinina said sarcastically.

"So, do you want to know why I know that?" Orson took a sip of the bitter coffee, looked at Chelinina and smiled.

"..." Chelinina felt a little uncomfortable for some reason when being stared at by Orson, so she turned her gaze away and looked to the side.

"It's simple," Orson said.

"As the eldest daughter of the Bonaventura family and the only female in the family, she was suddenly appointed as the head of the Antica region of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce half a year ago."

"Your two brothers, one is in the Duchy of Prussia and the other in the Duchy of Aragon. These two regions are originally prosperous economic regions of the empire. Why is Miss Celinina, the jewel in the Duke's eye, exiled to the Duchy of Antica, which was just established not long ago and has a depressed economy?"

"Can I understand this as an exile?"

"So, I've said it before, we have common interests." Orson said this with a smile. "The reason you intervened in our family's succession dispute is to use our family's power to help you get promoted, or to achieve some other purpose to keep your position in the family, isn't it?"

"So I hate doing business with smart people like you." Hearing this, Chelinina bit her lower lip tightly, and then she made a huge concession in her heart. "Tell me, what do you want? I can only use the money from the Antica Chamber of Commerce now, and I can't give you more."

"I don't need money." Orson shook his head and looked at Chelinina. "I want you..."

"What!?" Upon hearing this, Chelinina's face turned red. Then she stood up and stared at Orson angrily, her body trembling slightly due to the violent fluctuations of emotions.

"Mr. Orson, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You are already engaged, but you still want someone outside?"

"Don't be angry, Miss Chelinina. You can't be a good businessman like this." Orson smiled and then motioned for Chelinina to calm down.

Chelinina realized her own misconduct, regained her composure, and sat back down.

"I want you to support Leeteuk."

"Ha!?" Hearing this, Chelinina looked at Orson in disbelief. "Mr. Orson, what do you mean?"

"You wanted to support Lit, didn't you?" As Orson said this, Chelinina felt as if her heart had stopped beating.

From knowing what he was going to say, knowing what drinks he liked to drink, to his initial support for Leeteuk's idea.

Could it be possible that Orson could read minds?

"Don't look at me like that. I can't read your mind. This is just a reasonable inference I made based on your past experience, Miss Chelinina. It's not difficult to guess."

"It just so happens that I also want to support Leeteuk's rise to power, so that's why I said we have common interests, right?"

Chapter 20: Why are you blushing? Why are you blushing again?

"Tsk..." Chelinina clicked her tongue unhappily, then nodded. "Although it feels like courting disaster, I have no way out."

"So, how do you want me to support Leeteuk?"

"Marry him," Orson said simply.

"Huh?" Chelinina looked incredulous again.

This proposal is even more outrageous than the previous one.

Even if Chelinina married Orson, a cunning fox, she would never marry Litt, a guy who looked like a sissy.

Of course, if she had to choose between Donny and Leeteuk, she would still choose Leeteuk.

After all, the former really made her sick.

"If you marry Lit, the heir to the Duke, won't you be able to get the political support you've always dreamed of? Although the Duke of Antica is only the weakest duke in the empire, he is at least a duke, and his territory has considerable development potential.

"By then, your position in the family will probably rise to the top, right?"

"But, let's not talk about whether I am willing to marry Li Te." Chelinina said, "If you are not prepared to publicly declare that you will give up the competition for the position of heir, even if Li Te and I really marry, the benefits I will get will be far less than marrying you."

"So, you mean to marry me?" Orson asked. "Sorry, I'm already engaged."

"No way!" Chelinina stamped her feet in anger. "I don't like either of you two brothers. Can't you find another way?"

"Hey, you can't say that. Feelings are like that, and you fall in love instantly. It's normal that you didn't like Lite before. When you get to know Lite more in the future, what if you fall in love with him?" Orson began to matchmake for Lite.

In the original work, Chelinina was also one of Lit's harem, and because she helped Lit a lot in the early stage, she was considered a harem character with a relatively strong presence in that Long Aotian novel.

Therefore, Orson was very sure that Chelinina would definitely fall in love with Lit, unless in the original book she fell in love with him because of Lit's strength.

"But if you really don't agree, I won't force you." Orson said, pointing to the door. "Go spend an hour with Lit first, talk to him, and see if he and you can get along."

"If your answer to me is still NO, I will give you another way so that you can defeat your father openly."

"Are you serious?" Chelinina asked seriously.

What Orson meant by aboveboard was probably referring to the income of the Chamber of Commerce branch.

Can I really earn more money than my two brothers in this remote area?

"of course."

"Okay, since you said so, I will go meet Master Litt." Chelinina nodded, then stood up and walked out of the house.

……

In Litt's room, Litt and Chelinina sat opposite each other. She put her hands on her knees, sitting upright, but her eyes were avoiding, not daring to look at Chelinina.

"I say...Mr. Lit." Chelinina suddenly spoke.

"Ah, I'm here!" Leeteuk replied loudly.

"I'm not an instructor, there's no need to reply to me like that." Chelinina couldn't help but complain. "I just want to ask you a question."

"Ah...Okay, please, Miss Chelinina, please ask."

"What do you think of Master Orson?"

"I..." Upon hearing this, Li Te lowered his head and began to ponder.

Yes, what do I think of Orson?

"Brother Orson, he is a man who is very serious and responsible about everything, very gentle and considerate, and also makes people feel at ease!"

"Is the evaluation so high?" Chelinina raised her eyebrows when she heard it.

But it is true that even from her perspective as an observer, Orson's behavior towards Lit was impeccable.

He may indeed be a good brother.

In order to help his younger brother Leeteuk gain external support and ascend to the throne smoothly, he was willing to make a deal with himself.

Although in reality it's just a matter of each taking what they need.
