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

“Uh…” Lianka was stunned for a moment, recalling what she had just said.

"I mean... even if the partner who ran away was Orson, I wouldn't take it personally, let alone anyone else."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Olivia nodded with a smile. "As expected of my good sister Lianka, she has high standards!"

……

The next morning, Orson opened his eyes hazily and saw a small bulge in the quilt. He sighed helplessly.

Then he stood up, picked up the still sleeping Li Te by the scruff of the neck, and put her back on her bed.

After going downstairs and washing up, he heard a knock on the door.

I opened the door and found Lianka standing at the door.

"Well, although you left halfway yesterday, Orson, I'm still very grateful that you were willing to take the time to accompany me. These are the cookies that my sister and I learned to make. If you don't mind, just... take them."

"Oh, thank you, Lianka." Orson said this, nodded, and then welcomed Lianka into the room.

"I'm really sorry about last night. Lit suddenly felt unwell..." Sitting at the dining table, Orson poured two cups of tea for himself and Lianka, and then the two of them sat down and drank tea while enjoying the cookies made by Lianka.

As expected from what I learned from Olivia, the cookies are crispy and sweet, perfect as a snack.

"But I saw that Lit was fine before." Lianka bit off a piece of biscuit and looked at Orson in confusion.

"Well... Li Te's physical condition is rather special, and only the relatives around him know about it, so it is not convenient to tell you, Li Anka. I am really sorry."

"I see. Sorry for asking something that makes me unhappy."

"It's okay." Orson shook his head.

"By the way, Orson, there is actually another thing we came here for." Lianka ate a few more cookies before speaking slowly.

Chapter 63: Teach me!

"What's the matter?" Orson looked at Lianka and asked puzzledly.

"It's just... um..." Lianka paused for a moment, then said, "Please don't tell my sister about what happened yesterday. No matter how my sister asks, don't tell her."

"As for the price... I'll do anything you ask me to do."

"Is anything really possible?" Orson said, looking at Lianka.

Feeling the tone of Orson's words, Lianka's face instantly turned red and she quickly shook her head.

"Of course not!"

"Tsk, that's boring," Orson said, shaking his head.

"Then I can't promise you that. After all, there's nothing I need you to do."

"Oh, is there really no room for negotiation?" Li'anka said this, tears welling up in her eyes, looking very aggrieved. "Well...if it's not too much, it's not impossible..."

The later she spoke, the weaker and thinner her voice became.

"Okay, that's what you said." Orson said this, putting his hands on Lianka's shoulders.

Lianka blushed and closed her eyes, her heart beating fast.

"Lianka, go back and tell your sister right now that you invited me to the masquerade ball yesterday. Is this not too much?"

"Hey!???" She looked at Orson in surprise, and then quickly said, "Isn't this right?"

"What's wrong? I didn't violate your requirements." Orson said this and sat down with a smile.

"Think about it, Lianka, you want me not to

Tell Olivia, right?"

"Yeah." Lianka nodded.

"So, if I ask you to do something without violating your request, it's also what you promised me, right?"

"Yeah." She nodded again.

"So, is there a problem with me asking you to tell Olivia about this?"

"It seems..." Lianka was about to say no, but then she shook her head. "No, no! It's not like that. I don't want you to tell my sister. The purpose is to prevent my sister from knowing about this. So if you ask me to do this, it will be meaningless for me to ask you to keep it a secret!"

"Tsk." Orson secretly clicked his tongue when he saw that he failed to scare the girl.

"So, apart from this condition, I can agree to everything else, even..."

"Okay." Orson's tone returned to normal, and his expression became serious. "Listen, Lianka, I will keep this a secret for you. Just think of it as a girl's willfulness, but you have grown up and are no longer a child."

"There are some things that I don't want to make too clear. This will only damage the relationship between the two of us."

When it's time to draw the line, it has to be said so. Orson knows that he has to be the bad guy himself, otherwise Lianka will only go further and further down the wrong path.

"If you want to play house and pretend games, I don't mind playing with you, but if you want to take it seriously, I'm sorry to refuse."

"...Why?" Lianka looked at Orson in confusion.

"Am I...bad?"

"You're not bad, but I already have a fiancée, your sister. I don't want to make the relationship even weirder, and I don't want outsiders to look at me as a scumbag."

"But what if I did all this voluntarily?"

"Voluntary?" Orson laughed when he heard that.

"Lianka, you must know how you viewed me when I first entered school last semester, right? Your attitude took a 180-degree turn in an instant. If I tell anyone about this, will you believe it?"

"That's right." Lianka nodded after hearing that.

"I'm sorry, Orson. I was too naive. I just wanted to take back what originally belonged to me."

Hearing Lianka's words, Orson immediately realized that something was wrong.

Does this girl know what Olivia did?

Before Orson had time to think about it, Lianka raised her head and looked at Orson again.

"Then, let me make a simpler request. This request will definitely not embarrass you, Orson."

"Uh...you say, as long as I can do it."

"Orson, please let me become like Lit!"

In Lianka's opinion, Lit's ability to become the outstanding talent he is today is inseparable from Orson's training room.

If I also accept Orson's training, I will definitely be more powerful than I am now, right?

Moreover, when I become stronger, I will be able to do some things naturally.

"I swear, as long as you are willing to teach me, Orsen, I will never have any complaints, and I will bear all the costs I have to pay along the way."

Looking at the serious little girl, Orson also fell silent.

Should I teach her?

After a long while, Orson nodded slowly.

From an emotional point of view, there is no problem in helping your future sister-in-law.

From the perspective of interests, having a powerful ally or helper is not a bad thing.

……

The next day at noon, in a high-end restaurant outside the Imperial College.

"Orson, when will His Royal Highness the Prince arrive?" Rosalin was sitting next to him, looking at Orson, looking expectant and anxious.

"His Royal Highness said that some soldiers who violated military discipline in the military camp outside the city need to be punished this morning before they come." Orson said as he sat next to Rosaline.

For some time afterwards, both of them remained silent.

On the other side, Arthas had just returned to the imperial city.

He had received Orson's letter the previous evening, and had replied in kind.

Although Orson is no longer the designated heir to the Dukedom of Antica, it would be great if he could get Orson to work for him.

Rather, it was because Orson lost the right to inherit his fiefdom that made Arthas want to fight for Orson even more.

With such a capable person assisting him, he would definitely be able to create a prosperous era, and it is not impossible for him to even expand the imperial power to an unprecedented level.

Although he had great ambitions, he restrained himself instantly after being suppressed by me, which was enough to show that he could still control Orson with the imperial power.

Therefore, when he received the letter, Arthas did not consider the other contents of the letter.

In his opinion, the most important thing is to establish a good relationship with Orson rather than to meet other women.

So, when Arthas arrived at the restaurant, Orson and Rosaline stood up at the same time to greet him, and Arthas ran straight to Orson.

"Mr. Orson, it's been a long time since we last met. You are still as high-spirited as before!" Arthas said politely and then praised Orson.

"Thanks to the sand table idea you told me before, I immediately promoted it to the entire army after returning to the imperial city. All the generals praised this sand table!"

The two continued chatting for a long time, all about military matters, and Rosalin next to them was unable to get a word in for a while.

Come to think of it, Arthas is so old and still has no wife, nor any female scandals. Could it be that he is actually not interested in women?

Thinking of this, Rosaline's eyes became complicated as she looked between Arthas and Orson.

Chapter 64: Chess piece? Hero?

Arthas chatted with her for a while before turning his attention to Rosaline.

"Who is this lady?"

Seeing Arthas's gaze, Rosalyn suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure.

"Well... well, Your Highness, hello, my name is Rosalin, and I am the daughter of General Scaloni. I don't know if you recognize me. I saw you when I went to the military camp with my father when I was a child..."

"General Scaloni's daughter." Arthas nodded when he heard this.

Then he sat down.

After seeing Arthas sit down, Orson and Rosalyn followed suit.

Arthas' expression has changed from the excitement when he first saw Orson to the calmness now.

Although Arthas already knew about this from Orson's letter, he still looked down on Rosaline when he met her in person.

It’s not that there’s really something wrong with his sexual orientation, but this kind of girl, who seems ordinary and confident to him, really has no appeal.

Moreover, before he became emperor, he was not ready to focus his attention on women.

After all, I can't give my father the impression that I'm addicted to beauty.

So, Arthas himself did not take the initiative to talk about Rosaline, but kept chatting with Orson.

Until the end, Orson ended his conversation with Arthas at the signal of Rosaline beside him and turned the topic to Rosaline.

"By the way, Miss Rosalin has always wanted to meet His Highness Arthas. Wouldn't you like to have a chat?"

"That's right." Upon hearing this, Arthas turned his head towards Rosaline.

After all, she is the general's daughter. Having a good relationship with her can also enhance one's influence in the military.

Although he was originally a representative of the army, as long as nothing went wrong, the army would not support his sister.

"Ms. Rosalin, as the daughter of General Scaloni, how well do you know about military affairs?"

"Uh..." This question stumped Rosalyn.

Although Scaloni often mentioned things about the army to her when he returned home, and he also paid attention to this aspect in her education, it was only limited to theory. In front of the two people around her who had practical experience, she still lost a lot.

Fortunately, Orson at the side spoke up to help Rosalin: "Your Highness Arthas, Miss Rosalin cares a lot about the army. It seems that you two should get along well with each other."

"Oh? Why is that?" Upon hearing this, Arthas looked at Rosaline curiously.

"The army hasn't moved yet, but the food and fodder must go first." Rosalin also spoke up at this time. "There have been continuous food transport teams heading south recently, so I think something is going to happen in the south."

"It seems that I underestimated Miss Rosalin." Arthas said. "It's my fault, too. The army's movements could be guessed by people who were not involved. I need to punish a few officers when I return."

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the dinner table instantly dropped to freezing point.

Rosalyn's expression froze for a moment.

"Hehe, Your Highness Arthas, please stop joking with others." Fortunately, Orson came forward to rescue the situation at this time.

"Yeah." Arthas nodded.
