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

At this moment, in addition to Tony, there was a man with short blond hair in the carriage.

"Master Tony, you seem to be in a bad mood?" The blond man looked at Tony opposite him and asked tentatively.

"Yeah." Donnie nodded.

"Father is hiding something from me. We are obviously a family..."

"Perhaps the Duke is afraid that Master Tangni will have a bad influence after knowing this. Anyway, Master Tangni, please understand the Duke's painstaking efforts."

"Of course I understand, but my father never understands me. In the academy, I followed his instructions and tripped up the two guys from the Stranik family. As a result, I was kicked out of the academy and lost face."

"Now I'm old enough to manage family affairs. Look at what Orson next door is doing, and then look at what I'm doing." Donnie couldn't help complaining.

"Osen is not even his biological son, but he has gained such trust. But what about me? Zenit, do you think I am incompetent?"

"Mr. Donny, your abilities are not bad at all. People around you have wrong views of you." Zenit said this and quickly shook his head.

Shortly after he submitted his allegiance to Giovanni, he arrived here with the news that the Duchy of Antica was mobilizing and preparing to declare war on the Duchy of Naples.

After learning the news, Giovanni did not dare to delay at all and immediately ordered the territory to expand its military and prepare for war.

Of course, Zenit, who brought this information, had no way to go back. Giovanni thought about it and gave him a random position and sent him away.

However, Zenit relied on his own abilities to gain Donny's appreciation in a pub and was chosen by Donny as his aide.

However, Giovanni didn't know all this. He only knew that his son's behavior had been increasingly unlike what he expected, as if someone was directing him from behind.

"Well, it's all thanks to you, Zenit." Tony said this, looking at Zenit with some gratitude in his eyes.

"If it weren't for you, I would probably still be being scolded by my father now."

Although he is currently only a deputy, responsible for communicating information, he does have some power after all.

My father's attitude and evaluation of me has also changed from being disappointed in me to being just so-so now.

All this is inseparable from Zenit.

"Nothing, I just did what I was supposed to do."

"Don't worry, Zenit. When I inherit the dukedom, I will grant you a piece of land so that you can establish your own family and pass it down from generation to generation." Tony said this and patted Zenit on the shoulder.

"Then, I will stay here. Thank you, Mr. Tangni."

……

Saint-Laurent Cathedral.

The choir had just finished its performance and the devout believers were sitting on chairs praying.

Led by a nun, Orson walked into the church from the side and then met the person he wanted to see.

"Your Holiness the Pope." Orson said this and looked at the kind-looking old man in front of him.

"Mr. Orson, long time no see." Pope Levi said this and came forward with a smile.

Beside Levi, Saint Lilia also walked up.

"Mr. Orson, are you here to pray this time?"

"No." Orson shook his head, and then said: "I want to ask the Pope something."

"Go ahead." Levi heard this and waited for Orson to speak.

"I would like to ask, if a great noble teamed up with foreigners and brought them into the country, what should we do?"

"Mr. Orson, you suddenly ask this... Could it be that you have discovered this kind of person?" When Levi heard Orson say this, the smile on his face faded.

This is the most sacred place for human beings and a holy place in the hearts of believers of the Goddess of Life. Mentioning words like aliens and pagans here is no joke.

"If there really is such a person, even if he is a noble, he should be excommunicated."

"Really?" Orson heard this and nodded with a smile.

"So, Mr. Orson, can you tell me now who it is?"

"You should receive news about this in a few days." Orson said this, greeted the two of them politely, then turned around and left.

Levi frowned, he knew something was definitely wrong, so he turned his gaze to Lilia beside him.

Lilia and Levi looked at each other, then she nodded and followed him out.

Chapter 67: Cross-dressing?

Soon after Orson walked out of the church, he stopped.

There was also the sound of hurried footsteps behind him.

"Mr. Orson." Lilia followed.

To Orson.

"Your Highness the Saint, what are you doing?" Orson asked knowingly.

"Regarding the noble you just mentioned, could you please tell us who he is?"

"Didn't I tell you this before? You will know when the time comes."

"But... why are you so sure?"

Just at this moment, a team of guards on the street were protecting a carriage heading towards the church.

"Look, I've come to find you." Orson said this with a smile in his eyes.

"Your Highness, please go back quickly. Something big is about to happen."

After saying this, without waiting for Lilia to answer, Orson's figure disappeared in front of her again.

Lilia could only return to the church in frustration.

……

"Did Your Highness the Princess go to the church?" In the military camp outside the city, Arthas was sitting in a tent, playing with the military token in his hand, and replied nonchalantly.

In front of him was the spy he had placed in Saint Laurent City.

"Yes, Your Highness. This afternoon, someone arrived at the gate of the Imperial Court. After he entered, he never came out again. Then, Your Highness the Princess took people to the cathedral."

"who's that person?"

"I don't know..." The spy said, lowering his head. "But what is certain is that the princess' actions this time are definitely related to the church."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Arthas said this and stood up.

"How about this, now prepare the horses, and let's go directly to the Imperial Court to care about the case that my sister is handling. It should be natural, right?"

"Okay, I'll prepare it right away."

Then, Arthas and a few others walked towards the Imperial Court.

With the royal token, he had a smooth journey until he arrived at the Imperial Court, where he was stopped.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but Her Highness has ordered that no one is allowed to set foot in the Imperial Court while the case is being handled, otherwise it will affect the investigation of the case."

Standing in his way was Aphrodite, Elsa's confidant and good friend.

Looking at the elf girl in front of him, Arthas asked doubtfully: "I wonder which case my sister is trying. Could you please tell me?"

"Sorry, this is confidential..."

"Do you think I would leak the secret?" Seeing Aphrodite's defensive look, Arthas had a hint of displeasure on his face.

"As a member of the royal family, I cannot enter the Imperial Court. What kind of ridiculous joke is this?"

"That's right. Her Highness the Princess takes herself too seriously. She is only responsible for taking over the judicial system. There is no reason for her to prevent His Highness Arthas from entering."

At this time, a servant behind Arthas also complained loudly.

Afro looked at the scene in front of her and felt a little scared, but she still mustered up her courage and said, "I'm sorry, this matter does concern the future of the empire, and Her Royal Highness Princess is very concerned about it, so the fewer people who know about it, the better. Please don't embarrass me anymore, Your Royal Highness."

Arthas had no way to make things difficult for Aphrodite. After all, Aphrodite was from the elves' side and her status seemed to be quite high. Taking action against her would only damage the relationship between the two races.

But this does not mean that Arthas cannot force his way in.

"Since you've said that this is a matter concerning the future of the empire, then I, as a prince, cannot sit idly by."

Having said this, he made a move to rush in.

In the end, Afro still stood in front of him.

"What? You want to stop me?" Arthas raised his eyebrows and looked at Afro.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has ordered..." Afro kept repeating the same sentence.

Just as the powder keg was about to be ignited, a familiar voice came from the side.

"Your Highness Arthas!"

Orson came over from behind, also looking like he was in a hurry.

"Master Orson?" Arthas was a little surprised when he saw Orson.

"What a coincidence! You said you had something to talk to me about, but I didn't expect we would meet here." Orson said this and hurriedly walked forward to the side of Arthas and Afro.

"Mr. Orson, why are you here...?"

"Ah, when those nobles were tried before, some materials were left in the Imperial Court. I plan to take them back and publicize them in their territories, so that the people will know how excessive their lords had been."

"I see." Arthas nodded.

"The prince

Your Highness, how about you? I remember that the Imperial Court is under the charge of Her Highness the Princess, right? Why are you here, Your Highness? "

"Well..." Arthas hesitated for a moment, then said, "Because someone told me today that Elsa went to the church. I felt it must be a big deal, so I hurried over to take a look."

"It seems that His Highness Arthas is still very concerned about Her Highness Elsa's work." Orson said this, not knowing whether it was a compliment or something else.

Then, Orson turned his gaze to Afro and secretly gave him a wink.

"If I remember correctly, isn't this Afro-san? Why are you stopping here?"

Afro had no choice but to repeat what he had just said.

After hearing this, Orson was silent for a while, and then said: "I think that His Highness Arthas, as a prince, would never do anything that would be detrimental to the empire. Just let us in. After all, His Highness Elsa might make a misjudgment, right?"

"If the empire is put in a disadvantageous position due to Her Highness Elsa's misjudgment, you will not be able to take responsibility, right?"

"..." Upon hearing this, Afro could only nod, then made way and let a few people enter the Imperial Court.

As soon as Arthas entered the Imperial Court, he went straight to Elsa's office.

By the way, he also assigned two people to go to the archives on the way.

This posture no longer looks like concern, but rather a direct search.

Even Orson couldn't help but speak up to dissuade him, "Your Highness, I understand your concern for Her Highness Elsa, but shouldn't you be more restrained in your actions at this moment? Otherwise, it will give others an excuse to accuse you, which will be bad."

Upon hearing this, Arthas nodded.

"Thank you for the reminder."

Afterwards, Orson did not follow Arthas directly to the office, but went to the archives instead.

Then he was stopped by Afro.

After making sure that no one was around, Afro asked in confusion: "Orson, what's going on?"

You know, she knew about the cooperation between Orson and Elsa, and Elsa also told her that if she was not there, she would listen to Orson.

But now it seems that Orson has betrayed Elsa. How can he let the wolf into the house?

"You don't have to worry about this." Orson said this with confidence.

"Do you really think you can stop His Highness Arthas?"

"Instead of this, it's better to let him in. Anyway, he can't find out anything."

Having said this, Orson smiled and walked past Afro and into the archives.

Chapter 3: Don’t Be Smart (K)

In the archives, Orson made his way past Arthas' men.
