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

Moreover, judging from what his father just said, Zenit should be dead now.

When a man is about to die, his words are good. Let's see what Zenit said to me.

Thinking of this, Donnie opened the envelope.

Read it carefully.

……

On the other side, Saint Laurent City.

No one witnessed the assassination that night. According to the testimony of the witness who first discovered the assassination scene, François was already dead when he arrived.

No one from François's escort survived.

It is conceivable that there is no such thing as a traitor in the guard team.

Then, it is the external forces.

And from the intelligence gathered at the scene, several important items were missing from Francois’ body.

The first is the family crest, which is a symbol that can prove the noble identity. The crest was taken away, most likely for the assassin to prove his achievements to the client when making the report.

What disappears next is more interesting.

"We have examined the body of Duke François. Indeed, he suffered such fatal injuries. There were such exaggerated wounds on his body. His heart was gone." A member of the task force read out the results just determined by the doctor.

"I understand." Elsa nodded and then looked at the others.

"Everyone, based on the current information, do you have any ideas?"

Except for Orson, all members of the task force were extremely professional. Some were even famous detectives who had solved many major cases in the empire. However, when they heard this limited information, they still shook their heads.

“I have a guess.

"At this time, Orson raised his hand.

"The heart is one of the most important organs in the human body. The other party took away Duke François' heart. Is it possible that they wanted to use the Duke's heart to perform some evil rituals?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was in an uproar.

"...To be honest, this is very possible. After all, the power of noble blood has always been a mysterious existence. Maybe the nobles really have special physiques and are suitable to become sacrifices for evil sacrifices." A detective agreed with Orson's conjecture.

"Then, this incident is not simply a political assassination against the Duke, maybe there is a demonic background." Elsa said.

"After all, we haven't discovered the society that was able to transform living people into demons before."

“So these cases are connected?”

"Does that have anything to do with Napoli?"

"But if we put the speculation on Napoli at this time, will the families of the deceased think that we are trying to divert the conflict?"

"Anyway, this is the only possibility at the moment, right?"

"Report!" At this moment, a man broke into the meeting room and said hurriedly, "Found it... We... found the family crest of the Toulouse family!"

"What!?" Everyone present was shocked, and then Elsa stood up quickly. "Where did you find it?"

"Now we have found a breakthrough."

"It is illegal to privately forge a family crest, especially one for a duke's family. It is quite difficult to make, which means this crest must be real..."

"I thought it was done by Napoli, but I didn't expect it was actually done by local people?"

"Don't jump to conclusions so soon. What if there is a Napoli background?"

"Right……"

Just as everyone was discussing the topic, Orson, who had just started the conversation, deliberately remained silent, trying to reduce his presence.

It was at this time that the messenger rested and said, "It was found at the owner of a casino."

He then revealed the address of the casino.

Elsa quickly took out the materials and checked them according to the address.

After discovering the owner behind her, she was stunned.

The materials in his hands instantly fell onto the table and scattered everywhere.

The detective next to him looked over and exclaimed.

"What? It's actually His Royal Highness the Prince?!"

written request for leave

I went out to dinner with my classmates today (kind of like a party), so I didn't have time to update. I will make up for it tomorrow.

Chapter 3: Reborn (K)

"Don't tell anyone about this for now!" After Elsa recovered from her shock, she hurriedly instructed the people around her.

Then she looked at the person who came forward to report the news.

"Tell the investigation team to continue the investigation, but do not release any information to the public, otherwise you will be the only one to be held accountable!"

"Yes! I understand!" The man nodded and quickly left the meeting room.

"At this moment, we cannot rule out the possibility of frame-up..." a detective spoke up to defend Arthas.

"Well, that's true."

"But how do we explain the Toulouse family crest?"

Those present started discussing the matter again.

After all, without sufficient evidence, the detective's only way to solve the case is to make guesses and assumptions based on past experience.

Elsa couldn't care less about all this at the moment. She looked around the crowd and then saw Orson who was silent.

She walked to Orson and asked in a low voice:

"Orson, what do you think about this?"

"My opinion is the same as theirs. I think this is most likely a frame-up, but why His Royal Highness was chosen, I don't know."

"You really think so?"

"Well, Your Highness, don't think I'm too smart." Orson said this and smiled at Elsa.

"Don't expect too much from me, or you'll be disappointed."

Elsa stared at Orson for a moment before looking away.

Now we can no longer dwell on Orson. Instead, we have to fix the mess caused by our own brother.

Although it is not a bad thing to have one's own personal power, Arthas chose such a large one.

Gray block production.

If it were any other time, it would have been fine, but it just so happened that François was assassinated. At this time, all the nobles who were closely involved with the gray industry would be investigated.

But for Elsa, this is not a bad thing.

Originally, Alsace was considered to be on the same front as the old nobles, and he deliberately built his personality in that direction. However, if the fact that Alsace might have assassinated François spread among the nobles, his support rate would probably drop significantly.

……

"Father, I know I was wrong!" Young Donny knelt in front of Giovanni, lowered his head and apologized sincerely.

"Wrong? What's wrong with you?!"

"I...I shouldn't have let my servants beat up others..."

"Is this where you're wrong?" Giovanni frowned when he heard this.

"It's difficult...isn't it?" Tang Ni asked with sobs.

"Your mistake was letting others find out!" Giovanni taught.

"Think about it, that person pissed you off and you disliked him, right?" Giovanni began to induce Tony.

"Yeah." Donnie nodded.

"Well, isn't it better to never see him again than to teach him a lesson?"

When young Donnie heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, full of disbelief.

"If your servant beats him up, he can still complain to others, and you will still be discovered, right?"

"So, once you find those who have annoyed you, those you don't want to meet, either don't do anything, so that others think you have a good relationship with him, or just kill him so that he can no longer make you feel disgusted." After saying this, Giovanni smiled.

"Well, isn't this a good idea?"

"That's what father taught me."

"So, I'll give you a year. After a year, I don't want to hear any news about the count's son," Giovanni said.

This matter itself was a matter between two children. In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with Donny teaching the count's son a lesson, but the count was also a stubborn guy and insisted on coming to him for an explanation. Giovanni was a duke after all and needed to maintain a good image, so he symbolically punished Donny.

After seeing Tony being punished, the earl saved his face and left with satisfaction.

However, a year later, his son disappeared during a hunting trip. The earl became insane due to the loss of his beloved son, and eventually the territory was inherited by a branch of the family.

This was the first time that Donny followed Giovanni's instructions. When he saw that he could actually dominate the fate of others, Donny gradually began to indulge in this feeling.

Donny vented all the pressure he received from his father on others, and his personality became distorted in the process.

However, in front of Giovanni, Donny still habitually plays the image of an incompetent son. Only in this way can Giovanni always treat him as a child with confidence.

After reading the letter from Zenit, Donny recalled his childhood and laughed stupidly twice.

"Mr. Zenit, you are really my mentor." Having said this, Tony narrowed his gaze and looked at a painting hanging in his room.

Indeed, it is unlikely for me to break free from Giovanni's control now. Having lost his trust, I can only follow Giovanni's pace again.

Just like what was said in the letter.

If you want to break through the life arranged by others, you can only submit to the present situation for the time being. I believe that you, Mr. Tangny, have endured for nearly twenty years, and you will not be unable to endure it in these few months.

"Mr. Zenit, you are absolutely right," he said softly.

……

Duke of Orleans.

After François's body was examined, it was quickly transported back to the Duke of Orleans for burial.

At this funeral, because of the special cause of François' death, only members of the Toulouse family attended.

After taking care of François' funeral arrangements, the Duchy of Orleans resumed normal operations.

However, the person sitting in the Duke's office was not the current Regent Sean of the Duke of Orleans, but the Duke of Orleans Henry himself, who was only fourteen years old.

"Uncle Sean, thank you for your help, I can hold this position securely." Henry sat in the position that once belonged to his father, looked at Sean in front of him, and thanked him.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."

Sean said this with a flattering smile.

"If everything is as you say, then our Dukedom of Orleans will soon be the hegemony of the Duchy."

"Don't worry, Uncle Sean, I will use the knowledge I bring to lead us to victory." Henry said this, with an ambiguous smile on his face.

Yes, Henry is a reincarnated being.

In his previous life, after his father was assassinated, Sean's power gradually fell into others' hands due to his poor management skills. He even lost his position as regent before Henry was able to rule the country himself. Later, Henry was also sidelined by the newly appointed regent.

In the second half of his life, Henry lived as a puppet duke under the shadow of the regent. Finally, one time at a banquet, he refuted the regent, calling him a thief and robber, which made the regent lose face.

Although the regent could not do anything to him because he was away at the time, Henry eventually received a glass of poisoned wine that evening after returning to the Duke's Palace.

After drinking the poisoned wine, Henry did not die, but returned to his youth.

When he saw the time, he was also stunned.

It was exactly when his father was assassinated.

He knew that he couldn't save his father by any means, so he simply turned his attention to others.

His first target was to find Sean, his regent in his previous life.
