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

"No, no, these are all part of my job." Mary said with a smile.

"Oh, sir," Mary said, and suddenly she said, "I am pregnant."

"What?" Lucius heard

, looked at Mary in surprise. "Are you pregnant?"

"Yes, I couldn't believe it before, but now that I think about it, I should have been pregnant for three or four months."

Although Mary and Lucius have been sleeping in separate rooms for the past few years, they occasionally sleep in the same bed.

It's just strange that Mary, who hadn't been pregnant in the past few years, got pregnant at this time.

But Lucius didn't think much about it. When he heard that he was going to have another child, his mood immediately improved a lot.

Although there is no such thing as having a child to bring good luck here, having a child is always a good thing for a wealthy family.

Even Leeteuk felt a little happy when he heard that he was going to have a younger brother or sister.

"Well, my Stranic family is really prosperous." Lucius smiled happily as he said this.

Then he looked at Leeteuk.

"Then Madam, you should rest more these days, and if there is anything at home, just let Li Te do it."

"I understand, sir."

The atmosphere of the dinner party became cheerful because of this news.

After finishing his meal, Lucius took a walk in the courtyard accompanied by Vivian to recover.

Just when Li Te thought that everything was going well, there was a sudden knock on his door early the next morning.

When he opened the door, Litt found Vivian standing at the door with an anxious look on her face.

"Oh no, oh no, Master Li Te, I was going to the master's room this morning to see how he was doing, but I didn't expect that he was gone!"

"What? Father is missing?" Upon hearing this, Litt immediately came to her senses. She quickly changed her clothes and ran downstairs.

After searching for a whole morning, Litt, under the guidance of Virgil, finally found Lucius standing on a meadow.

"The master used to come here occasionally." Virgil explained to Little beside him. "Master Orson told me that his ex-wife, Lady Margaret, was buried here."

"Although I don't know why the master suddenly came here, but if the master suddenly disappeared from home, it is most likely that he was here to commemorate his deceased wife."

"Alas." Li Te sighed after hearing this.

Buried here is Lucius's deceased wife, who is also Leet's biological mother.

"Father... is still too loyal and righteous." Litt said this, his attitude towards Lucius full of respect.

"Well, Master Leete, go and see the master. You have a reason to go there."

"Yeah." Li Te nodded, then walked towards Lucius.

"Father, what are you doing here?" Litt said this and walked closer to Lucius.

Lucius turned around blankly, looked at Litt, and then made a "hush" gesture.

Upon seeing this, Lit immediately fell silent.

"Margaret usually likes to read quietly." As he said this, Lucius sat down next to the tombstone and gently stroked the name on it.

"Is that mother in here?"

"Yes." Lucius nodded. "She is your biological mother, your real mother."

As he said this, Lucius pulled out a picture album from his pocket.

He unfolded the album and showed it to Lit.

This is a portrait of a woman. In the portrait, the girl is looking at the viewer with a peaceful smile.

"I asked the best painter in the imperial city to draw this. How about it? Doesn't your mother look pretty?"

"Yeah." Litt nodded. This was not a fake. The girl in the portrait was indeed very beautiful, and her appearance was somewhat similar to Litt's.

"The more I look at you, the more I think you are just like Margaret." Lucius said as he put the portrait away. "Come to think of it, you have been back for so long, but I still haven't taken you to see your mother."

"Margaret, look, this is our child, Lit."

"The name is very similar to yours. The family who named you were so nice. Maybe this is fate." Lucius said, pointing at Litt.

"The child I used to bring here, Orson, I made a mistake. He is not our biological child, but he is a very good child and has not brought shame to our family at all."

As he said this, Lucius seemed to be confiding or whispering, expressing all his memories of his deceased wife.

It should have been a very touching scene, but the more Leeteuk thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Because Lucius was becoming more and more emotional, which was unlike his usual behavior.

"Father, it's almost time. We should go back and eat."

"People should always look forward, father. Mother doesn't want you to look sad all the time when you mention her, right?"

"She must also hope that you will live better and better."

Litt comforted Lucius and tried to help him up.

"Well, it's almost done." Lucius nodded and let Litt support him.

“I don’t know if I’ll have the chance to come next time.”

"I don't know if I will forget you next time." Lucius' tone suddenly became sad.

"Leet, do you know?" He seemed to have found someone to talk to, and said to Leet: "There were a few days before, when the disease was serious, I almost forgot Margaret's face. I was so scared that I would really forget her."

"It's okay, father. Your condition has improved now, hasn't it? It's okay..."

Litt helped Lucius back home.

At the door of the house, several servants saw Lucius coming back and hurried to greet him.

"Master, are you okay?"

"Oh, you hope something happens to me?" Lucius said this, and the servants dared not say anything, and hurriedly lowered their heads to apologize.

"Okay, Lit, just take me back to the house."

"Okay, father." Upon hearing this, Litt nodded, helped Lucius upstairs and sent him into the room.

Mary, who was upstairs, witnessed the whole process. She returned to her room, looked at Randall standing aside, and said with a smile: "Randall, have you noticed that the master's behavior has been a little abnormal recently?"

"Indeed...it seems that the master has become more emotional." Randall nodded. "So, ma'am, do you think that the master may have some problems?" He pointed to his head.

"Hmm." Mary said. "To be honest, I didn't think about it that way, but Orson and Leete kept covering it up and only arranged their confidants to serve the master. Are they afraid that we will find something unusual?"

Having said this, Mary looked at Randall.

"How about this, Randall? Tell Vivian tomorrow to help me buy some jewelry at the market. I want to go and see what the master is like myself."

"After all, I am the master's wife, and I have the right to know all this."

"Yes, sir." Randall bowed respectfully.

"By the way, Madam, you should take care of yourself recently. It's getting cold, so remember to wear more clothes. After all, this child is your hope."

"You don't need me to tell you, I know it naturally."

……

Early the next morning, Randall found Vivian.

"Hello, head maid." Randall said this and looked at Vivian.

After the old head maid retired, Vivian, as Orson's personal maid, was promoted to the position of head maid.

"Uh, hello, Mr. Randall, what can I do for you?" Vivian was wiping the glass. When she saw Randall suddenly coming to her, she looked at him with some confusion.

"It's like this, Madam Mary's jewelry is missing, and she plans to go to the market to buy a new one. She doesn't know much about the market, so she would like you to help her take a look and choose some suitable jewelry."

As he said this, Randall took out a bag.

"Here are a hundred gold coins, which are the Madam's private money. Please help her pick out some decent ones. There is no need to pick anything particularly expensive."

"Okay." Vivian nodded after hearing that, took the purse, assigned the tasks to other people, and then took the purse and rushed to the market.

On the other side, after seeing Vivian go out, Mary walked to Lucius's door, knocked twice gently, and then walked in.

In the room, Lucius had already gotten up and was sitting at the desk writing a letter. He looked no different from usual.

"Master, are you up yet?" Mary said with some surprise when she saw Lucius's look.

"Yeah." Lucius nodded. "Pour me a cup of tea."

"Okay." Mary said this, went downstairs, brought a cup of tea, and placed it on Lucius's table.

"Master, the tea is here."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Margaret." Lucius said this, took out the teacup and took a sip.

"Um... Master, what did you call me just now?" Mary heard Lucius

Si was stunned for a moment.

"Margaret, what's wrong?" Lucius looked at Mary in confusion. "I'm writing documents for the frontline troops. The battle will begin in a few days."

"Wait a minute, sir, what are you writing?" Mary said this with a surprised look.

She took the letter from Lucius's hand, and the content of the letter was all about the war.

"Master, the war was over some time ago." She said this and put the letter back. "Orson is leading the team at the front line and has already beaten the orcs back."

"Orson? Who is Orson?" Lucius looked at Mary strangely. "No, no! His Majesty the Emperor specially appointed me as a general. How could he change the commander in the middle of the term? No, I have to go see His Majesty the Emperor."

Having said this, Lucius quickly stood up.

"Master!" Mary hurriedly called out to Lucius. "This is Antica, not Saint Laurent!"

At this time, Lucius was shocked and then he sat down.

"Wait a minute, ma'am, please go out first and let me think about it alone..."

"Okay, sir, I'll go out first." Mary saw that it was almost time, so she walked out of the room, leaving Lucius alone in the room.

"What's the matter, Madam? How is the master?" After returning to the room, Randall looked at Mary and asked.

"Just as I guessed, the master's mental state is not good now, as if he has dementia." As she said this, she sighed.

"No wonder Orson and the others didn't want me to contact the master. Are they afraid that I would leak the news? Or are they worried that I would take advantage of the opportunity?"

"I don't know." Mary shook her head, then looked up at Randall with a look of determination in her eyes. "But this should be our best chance."

"It just so happens that Orson and Litt have given me a perfect excuse."

"Let me think about it. In order to obtain the right of inheritance, the two children deliberately concealed their father's illness from their mother, so as to control the affairs of the Duchy." Mary said this, tapping the table lightly with her fingers.

"If His Majesty the Emperor knew about this, it would be a serious crime, right?" Randall added. "By then, they might even lose the right to inherit the dukedom. Then the only one who is eligible to inherit the dukedom is the child in your belly, madam, right?"

"Well, and my children will not be able to manage the Duchy when they are young. At that time, I will be the actual ruler of the Duchy." Mary said this with a smile.

She was an ambitious woman, and she had always considered the Duchy of Antica to be hers.

Before, when Lit had just returned, she wanted to take the opportunity to instigate Orson and let the two brothers kill each other. As a result, Orson unexpectedly rejected her proposal and instead prepared to support Lit.

In that case, don't blame Mary for being ruthless and attacking two people at the same time.

As long as their reputation is ruined, the power of the Duchy will naturally fall into Mary's hands.

Thinking of this, Mary hurriedly wrote a letter and prepared to send it to Saint Laurent City.

At this time, there was a knock on Mary's door.

Vivian returned home with the jewelry she bought at the market.

"Madam, this is the jewelry you commissioned me to buy." Vivian said this, put it on the table, then took two steps back, bowed to Mary, and left her room.

At this time, Vivian saw that the time was almost up, so she walked towards Lucius's room.

At this time, Lucius was still sitting in the chair in a daze.

"Good morning, sir." Vivian said this and glanced at Lucius.
