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

Lucius still sat there in a daze.

This situation of Lucius's had not been uncommon in the past few days, so she took a blanket from the closet and covered Lucius with it.

At this time, she glanced and saw the teacup on the table.

She reached out her hand, touched it, and found that the teacup was still warm.

Vivian immediately became alert and walked downstairs to the kitchen.

"Did anyone come to serve tea this morning?" Vivian asked seriously.

"Ah, well, only the madam has been here." The maid in charge of the kitchen spoke up.

Hearing this, Vivian frowned.

Then, she went to the second floor and knocked on Litt's door.

Walking into the room, Vivian reported to Litt what happened today.

"Master Li Te, although I don't want to go

I didn't think that way, but it was obvious that the lady wanted to get rid of me on purpose."

In the family, everyone knows that Randall is Mary's confidant, and whatever Randall does basically represents Mary's opinions.

Mary took the initiative to send Vivian away and personally brought tea to Lucius. The meaning behind this was self-evident.

Although they are all family, Vivian is Orson's confidant. Orson asked her to keep an eye on Mary, so she had to be on guard against Mary.

"I understand, Miss Vivian, you've worked hard." Li Te nodded. "Mother has guessed that there is something wrong with father."

Leeteuk said this and sighed.

She didn't know what Mary was going to do after she knew about this, but in Litt's opinion, she felt frustrated because she didn't complete the task assigned to her by Orson.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered that before Orson left, he gave her an envelope and asked her to open it when she encountered difficulties.

Litt thought about it, opened the drawer of his desk, took out the letter, and then read the contents carefully.

In an instant, her eyes brightened.

……

At night, Randall prepared to rush to Saint Laurent City with Mary's secret letter. Not long after leaving the Duke's mansion and before leaving the city of Antica, Randall felt several eyes staring at him.

He quickly dived into the nearby woods.

Unexpectedly, this drill played right into the group's hands.

Randall stepped on a trap in the woods and was hung upside down.

Then, several people emerged from the shadows.

"Hello, Mr. Randall." Virgil was the first to speak. "It's so late, why are you in such a hurry to go out? As a servant of the Duke's Mansion, are you planning to betray the Duke?"

"No, no, how could that be." Randall quickly shook his head. "I just wanted to deliver a letter for my wife."

"A letter?" Virgil raised his eyebrows. "Delivering a letter at this time? Could it be some shameful letter?"

"How is that possible!" Randall immediately retorted. "This is a letter from my wife, how could it be something shameful..."

"Then why choose to deliver it at night?" Virgil said this and quickly ordered his men to search him.

"What are you doing? Do you know that if the lady finds out about this, she will be mad!"

"I will naturally go to apologize to Madam when the time comes, but please understand that your actions are extremely suspicious."

"Also, you cannot return to your wife until you are sure that everything is completely fine." Virgil ordered his men to take Randall away, then looked at the envelope in his hand and fell into deep thought.

……

"Virgil, are you sure the letter hasn't been swapped?" In Litt's room, she looked at the letter in her hand and frowned.

"Well, I'm sure that this was the only letter Randall had on him at the time." Virgil nodded. "The ink didn't show any signs of being loose, so there's no possibility that it was swapped."

"That's strange..."

Randall did send a letter to Mary, but the content of the letter was very simple, inviting a noble lady friend of Mary in Saint-Laurent to come to the Dukedom of Antica to reminisce the past.

Looking at the content of the letter alone, there is indeed nothing wrong with it.

It can't be that they really arrested the wrong person, right?

Just as Li Te was thinking this, there was a knock on the door of the room.

Then, Mary walked into Leete's room.

"Leet, I asked my servant Randall to deliver a letter to the post station yesterday, but he hasn't come back yet. Have you seen Randall's movements?"

"Ah, I'm so sorry, mother. I don't know exactly where Randall has gone. If possible, you can wait at home. He may just have something else to deal with, so he hasn't come back yet."

"Okay." Mary nodded. "If Randall hasn't come back by then, I hope you can mobilize the city defense forces to help find him. That letter was sent to my friend. It's just an ordinary letter..."

Listening to Mary's words, Litt didn't know why he felt a little guilty. After all, as family members, they shouldn't plot against each other, right?

Could it be that Mary really didn't do anything and just wanted to pour Lucius a cup of tea that day? Am I just overthinking it?

But when he thought of the letter Orson left for him, Litt could not tell Mary what he had done.

She trusted Orson more than Mary.

……

On the other side, the city of Saint Laurent.

Emperor Odysseus and Giovanni are chatting.

When Giovanni went to Beijing to report on his work today, he suddenly mentioned the affairs of the Duchy of Antica.

"Oh, Emperor, if you ask me, Duke Antica's eldest son Orson is truly a man of genius." As he said this, he did not hide his praise for Orson at all.

"We have never, never achieved such a beautiful and clean victory in the war against the orcs."

Of course, Giovanni was talking about the main battlefield. If it weren't for those stupid teammates who appeared in the secondary battlefield, the war would have gone much more smoothly.

"Well, yes, Orson's performance is indeed good." Odysseus nodded when he heard it. He looked at Giovanni curiously, not knowing what he was going to say.

"I think that in order to reward such people, we should hold a large banquet in the Dukedom of Antica to celebrate our victory." Giovanni explained his purpose. "Although a celebration banquet was held at the front before, Your Majesty, and several of us dukes did not attend that celebration banquet."

"I think that for such a meaningful event, we should go to the Dukedom of Antica together to congratulate Duke Lucius. That would be great!"

"Well, what you said makes sense." Odysseus nodded, "Well, let's do this, I will write to Lucius today."

"Okay, thank you very much, Your Majesty." Giovanni said this with a smile.

Chapter 1.7: Fengshaping and Family Crisis ( two-in-one chapter)

On the other side, Orson was still chatting with the shaman.

"By the way, this is my first time here at the temple. I would like to ask, besides this main hall, are there any other branch halls in the temple?"

"No." The orc shaman shook his head. "We are only here to worship the great Limusa."

"Then... may I ask, are there any holy objects in the temple? Or, is there any place that we absolutely cannot go to?"

"If you ask me that, I can't really remember it right now..." The orc shaman thought for a moment, and then said, "The temple originally had a basement, but for some reason, no one could enter the basement, and gradually it was abandoned. We don't know what's in the basement."

"Okay, I understand, thank you very much." Orson said this, thanked the other party, and then took Lena back into the temple through the side door.

"Hey, Brother Edward, haven't we already visited the temple?" Lena asked puzzledly as she watched Edward leading her back into the temple.

"Well, but I have other things to do." Orson said this and looked into the temple again.

The book records that Limusa used up the last of his divine power to transform the desert into its current state. In other words, if Limusa's divine power dissipated, the wind and sand that protected the orcs would dissipate along with it.

Then, the medium for storing the power of Limosa must exist in the temple.

After learning about the basement from the shaman, Orson took Lena back to the temple.

At this moment, Baru has finished his confession, and he still has to go back to complete his task of unifying the orc tribes.

Only Orson and Lena were left in the temple.

"Brother Edward, are you looking for that basement? But the shaman has said that we can't get in..."

"Do you really believe him when he says we can't get in? Let's give it a try. What if we can get in?"

"Okay." Lena sighed after hearing that.

The two then walked around the temple and finally found a door in the wall.

There was an ancient text engraved on it, which was also the ancient common language. Orson could barely understand its meaning.

[To open this door, you need the blood of Hela's followers]

Hela's followers? Are they referring to humans?

But why does the orcs' holy land require human blood to open?

奥森非常不解，但还是照做了，他用匕首割开自己的手指，而后将渗出的血液涂抹在门上。【欢;:迎"进"!入【,!夜;袭";的":月:费.'群;:】:.6;9.4:9.,3:""6!，1:3";5."

But the door didn't move at all.

Lena looked at Orson's actions and suddenly felt a little strange.

"Brother Edward, you don't think that you can open the door by smearing blood on it like in the adventure stories, do you? Haha, this brother who looks super reliable, actually...

There will be a day when you fail." Lena said this and smiled.

"But it says that it needs to be smeared with the blood of Hela's followers." Hearing this, Orson shrugged helplessly.

"Followers of Hela? Who is Hela?" Lena asked curiously.

"It's the goddess of life that humans believe in." Just as Orson finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something.

He quickly cut his finger again, which had just stopped bleeding, and then painted a symbol on the door with blood.

This symbol is the emblem of the human church, an upright cross, representing the believers of the Goddess of Life.

Then, as expected, as Orson finished drawing the pattern, the blood pattern began to emit light.

Then, with a creaking sound, the door to the basement opened.

"Uh..." Lena looked at Orson with a strange expression.

"Brother Edward, you actually guessed it?"

"I'll tell you, how do you know if it works if you don't try?" Orson said this, smiled, and then walked into the basement.

"Wait for me, big brother!" Lena hurriedly followed.

Shortly after the two of them walked into the basement, a dark shadow appeared in the temple, looking at the open basement door with a thoughtful expression.

Orson and Lena walked down the dim stairs, and then they came to the basement of the temple.

This is more like a huge underground maze than a basement.

As Orson and Lena's steps completely touched the floor of the underground maze, flames ignited on the walls again.

"Wow, big brother, why do I feel like it's a little... a little eerie here?" Lena said this and moved closer to Orson.

"If you feel scared, Lena, go upstairs and wait for me."

"No." Lena shook her head. "I want to follow my big brother. If he gets into danger, I... I can at least stay here and take his place!"

"Pfft." Orson felt a little amused when he heard Lena's words.

"When did I ever ask you to take the blame for me? I'm not that crazy."

"Well, what if there is a mechanism that requires two people to complete, right..."

"Okay, okay." Orson nodded helplessly after hearing that.

To be honest, after arriving at this huge underground maze, Orson was still a little unsure.

He did not know the information about the underground maze in advance, and even the information about the temple was confirmed from Arati when he entered the desert. Orson did not know what would happen here or whether there was any danger.

We can only take one step at a time.

To be honest, Orson doesn't like this kind of uncertain thing.

If you are not careful, you may put yourself in danger.
