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

"I know, so I have a suggestion." Orson said this, expressing his thoughts.

"Teaching will continue as normal, but if students take leave for family reasons, their credits will not be deducted, and if they fail the first exam after returning to school, they will have a chance to retake it without penalty. How about this proposal?"

As soon as these words came out, the members of the board of directors nodded one after another.

In the end, everyone agreed with Orson's plan.

Afterwards, the joint meeting ended and everyone left the conference hall.

As Orson walked out the door, he was surrounded by several members of the news agency.

"President Orson, we heard that there was a war in your hometown, and the enemy is the Donnie family, who you have been at odds with before. So, will you take a leave to go back and deal with this matter? If you go back, what will happen to the student union?"

"I won't go back." Orson said this and added, "I will stay in school and the student union's affairs will not be neglected. At the same time, my classmates don't have to worry. There will be no forced suspension of classes."

After saying this, the members of the news agency were satisfied with the result and decided not to keep Orson.

Back in the student union office, Olivia sat in the office.

"Orson, are you really not going back?" Olivia looked at Orson worriedly.

Given the strength of the Duchy of Antica, if Orson doesn't go back, the cost of taking over the Duchy of Naples might be a bit high.

"No need, just let Litt go back. I believe in Litt." Orson said and shook his head.

"I have laid such a good foundation for Li Te. If he can't play chess well, I will be really disappointed in him."

Having said this, Orson sat down on the chair.

"Besides, I'll stay here with you, isn't that good?"

"Of course." Olivia smiled and walked behind Orson, gently squeezing his shoulders.

"But I'm a little curious, are you here to accompany me~ or do you have other intentions?"

"Of course I'll accompany you."

"Then I'm so happy." Olivia said this, increasing the strength in her hands.

"I just wonder if you are so smooth-talking to Lianka as well?"

"Ah?" Orson was stunned.

"Olivia, what...what are you talking about? I don't quite understand."

"Huh, you really don't understand?" Olivia said this and told her what happened that night.

"Lianka's dance partner, is it you? You're so brave, Orson, you actually hid it from me. So you still have feelings for Lianka?"

"No, no." Orson shook his head solemnly. "It was Lianka who approached me, and she's your sister, so I couldn't refuse."

"So, it's my problem?"

"It's not your problem." Orson felt a headache when he heard Olivia say that.

"Anyway, you and Lianka danced, didn't you?"

"..." Orson was silent for a while, then nodded.

"Besides this, you didn't do anything else out of the ordinary, did you?"

Orson nodded again.

"Okay, then, dance with me~"

"Eh? Jump here?"

"Yeah." Olivia nodded.

"But, use your tongue~"

As she said this, she leaned down and put her face close to Orson's.

……

Duchy of Naples.

Giovanni looked at the information from Saint Laurent City and was so angry that he threw the cup to the ground.

After Mudrick's affair was exposed, he had a bad feeling.

But since Rody kept writing back to him, he didn't doubt it.

After all, Rody had been doing this for me for such a long time, and he was very efficient.

Afterwards, in order to prevent Lodi from being exposed, Giovanni's communications with Lodi became less frequent, but he did not expect that Lodi would betray him directly and give him away.

If Giovanni had known that something had happened to Lodi, he would have reacted sooner instead of just sitting there and waiting for death like he is now.

"You are all a bunch of trash! Rody, how dare you betray me? Who gave you the courage?" He was angry in the office, and all kinds of valuable and exquisite decorations were smashed and broken by him.

It was not until half an hour later that the door of the room was opened again.

Standing at the door was his son Giovanni.

"Father, what should we do now?" Giovanni said this with fear in his eyes.

Lucius's army has crossed the border, and the royal army has also gathered on the border, ready to fight at any time.

Giovanni also calmed down at this moment. He looked at Donny and shook his head.

"Please send four copies of the letter I write next to the other dukes."

"If the Duchy of Naples is eliminated, the royal family and Lucius, who is loyal to the royal family, will expand their territory, and the royal power will expand indefinitely. They will not sit idly by."

Now, he can only hope that the other dukes who are also local forces can give him a hand.

Chapter 70: Do you want to live in his shadow for the rest of your life?

Apparently, Giovanni was right.

There was no need to even send a letter, as other dukes had already taken the initiative to ask to see Odysseus.

Their purpose was not to help Giovanni. Giovanni was now like a person stuck in quicksand. The people around him could only watch. If they tried to help him, they would sink as well. Therefore, no one would take the initiative to wade into this muddy water.

But everyone still wants to ask about what happened to Giovanni after he was defeated.

At the very least, even if the Duchy of Naples eventually ceased to exist, the expansion of the royal family and the Duchy of Antica would need to be restricted.

Of course, the central army of the empire also began to prepare for war, ready to go south to support the Antican army at any time.

At first, the Central Army had reservations about whether to go south. In their opinion, going south was possible, but unnecessary. They could wait until the armies of the two duchies were both defeated before going south. This would both maximize the results of the battle and reduce losses.

However, after a meeting within the army, Scaloni insisted on going south against all odds. Therefore, the imperial army began to prepare and contacted the Antican army, hoping that the two armies would fight together.

……

Duchy of Naples, city of Florence.

As an important town in the north of the Duchy of Naples, it is not only a historic commercial center, but also an indestructible and impregnable military fortress.

At this moment, on a street in Florence, a man in armor was looking at the girl in front of him. The man's eyes were firm, while the girl's eyes were full of tears.

"Judith, don't worry, I will come back as soon as we win the war." The man said, comforting the girl.

In order to respond to this attack, the Duchy of Naples has launched an unprecedented conscription campaign, and all men between the ages of eighteen and forty-five must take a conscription test.

The slogan for recruiting soldiers was also very simple. They had received the Duke's favor for so long, and now it was time to take action to protect the land under their feet and defend the Duke's honor.

As for the Duke's excommunication?

As mentioned above, all these are just rumors, and if anyone dares to spread them, they will be charged with treason and will be beheaded.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that this war would be extremely disastrous for Napoli.

The other party is just

They were an elite force that had just experienced a battle with orcs, while we were just a group of ordinary citizens who were used to being idle. Even if we had more people, a head-on collision would be very dangerous.

From the outset, this was destined to be a battle that could not be won.

When the girl named Judith heard the man say this, she obviously did not believe him and just wiped her tears in despair.

"No, Martin. I heard that the enemies are all capable of tearing a two-meter-tall orc in half. With your body, even if you can defeat one or two, you can't defeat so many people. I'm not worried about you, but I'm afraid that others will harm you on the battlefield..."

"Don't worry, Judith." Martin hugged the girl in front of him and then let her go.

"I have participated in an adventure group before. If even I don't go, my compatriots will have no way to defend this city."

Then, he resolutely turned around and, despite the girl's objection, walked to the street corner, where there was a group of companions who were also waiting for conscription. So they embarked on their journey to the military camp outside the city.

Judith watched Martin move further and further away from her in despair.

She knew that this separation might be forever.

Beside her, Judith's mother also walked out of the room and pulled her back.

On the other side, on the way to the military camp outside the city, Martin kept his head down and remained silent.

"Do you still miss Judith a little? Why don't you go back? Your family should be rich, so there's no need to work as hard as we do." The companion advised.

This conscription could be avoided by paying a tax, but Martin did not want to do so. He felt that doing so would undermine his dignity as a nobleman.

Yes, although his family was not a prominent noble family, but just a small noble family, they had no worries about food and drink.

"No need. You all go to the front line. If I don't go, it would be unfair to our friendship." As he said this, he looked at his companions who were trying to persuade him and forced a smile.

"Well, now that you say so, there's nothing we can do." Seeing Martin like this, his companions also sighed. He was known for his stubborn character and would not easily repent of what he had determined.

"However, fighting on the battlefield is different from exploring in a normal adventure group. Even if you are a sixth-level warrior, if you are not careful on the battlefield, something bad will happen."

"I know." Martin nodded.

But the enemy has advanced to the outskirts of Florence, and in three days at most they will arrive at the gates of Florence.

He didn't want to see the city fall and he and his lover be forced to leave their hometown.

……

On the other side, the front-line military camp.

Lit has taken leave and come to the front line. This time she is not the commander-in-chief, but she has also gained independent command of the front-line troops.

Although Orson did not come in person, she sent Virgil as her deputy just in case.

Looking at the battle report from the front line, Litt was quite satisfied.

The Naples' army had been away from battle for a long time and was no match for the Antican army that had been confronting orcs for years. After only three days, their army had captured three cities.

At this rate, Napoli will soon be razed to the ground.

Of course, it is obvious that the battle cannot go so smoothly.

According to intelligence, Naples' follow-up troops are still being replenished to the front line. By then, the gap in hard power between the dukedoms will be revealed.

The advantages in numbers and equipment can definitely make up for the gap in troop quality to a certain extent.

However, Litt is not worried about these things at the moment, because the central army directly under the royal family has sent her a letter requesting to jointly share intelligence.

This means that the royal family will start taking action soon.

……

In the dim basement, Donny looked at Zenit in front of him with horror on his face.

"Zenit, is this the only way?"

"Yes." Zenit nodded seriously. "Master Donny, I'm not kidding. This is the only way."

Just now, Donny found his confidant Zenit and was ready to ask him for a way out of the impasse.

After all, Giovanni had been asking Donny to relax, but seeing that the front line was constantly being breached, Donny couldn't feel at ease, so he turned to Zenit.

And Zenit just gave Donny a bottle of poison.

"At present, all the spearheads are pointed at the Duke. Therefore, as long as you poison the Duke, the source of evil, you, Master Donny, will not only inherit the Dukedom of Naples legitimately, but also gain the reputation of killing relatives for the sake of justice. At that time, the enemy will not only not attack, but will also...

You will be rewarded.”

"But...but if I do this, I cannot betray my father..."

"So, Master Donnie, do you want to live under the Duke's shadow for the rest of your life? Be the Duke's puppet for the rest of your life, and watch him plan the rest of your life? Even if you are tried together with him, it doesn't matter, right?"
