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

Five days had passed since the imperial army's last exploratory attack on the northern city wall.

During these five days, the imperial army did not launch another attack, but chose to continue the siege.

In the last siege, only half of the 5,000 soldiers Scaloni sent in returned, and the estimated casualties caused to the enemy were only more than 1,000 people. This casualty ratio can be fought, but it is definitely not a beautiful battle.

So, today, Scaloni sent a letter to the city, inviting Giovanni to the outside of the city to discuss the evacuation of the people and surrender.

After receiving the letter, Giovanni accepted Scaloni's invitation, but at the same time required Scaloni to bring Lucius and Litt to meet him.

The meeting place was set in the east of the city of Romulus, which had not been damaged by the war and was suitable as a place for negotiations.

At 2:00 p.m., the Imperial Army arrived at the meeting.

After everyone waited for a few minutes, the gate of Romulus City was opened. Three groups of horses galloped out of the city and soon arrived at the negotiation site.

The only people from the Imperial Army were Scaloni, Lucius and Litt, while Napoli only sent out Giovanni, Donny and their guards.

"Long time no see, my old friend." Giovanni saw Lucius and opened his arms towards him while sitting on his horse, as if to welcome him.

"Hmph, forget the polite words, Giovanni." Lucius snorted coldly, then looked at Scaloni beside him.

After all, he is the commander-in-chief of this army, and the negotiation issues should be left to him to resolve.

Scaloni thought exactly the same. He had just taken two steps forward on his horse when he was scolded by Giovanni.

"What are you doing?! Didn't you see the two dukes of the empire chatting? You are an ignorant thing, a running dog of the royal family. Do you need me to send you back to your mother's womb to teach you what etiquette is?" Giovanni glared at Scaloni. When the other party heard what Giovanni said, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but after thinking about it, he decided to give in.

"Duke Giovanni, while I can still call you Duke, open the city and surrender, and tell us everything about your contacts with the cultists. This way, His Majesty may show mercy and spare your life."

"Hehe, you are just a dog raised by the emperor. Do you think that if I do this, I will still be afraid of the emperor?" Giovanni did not take Scaloni's threat seriously, but sneered.

"You guys." Giovanni said, pointing at Lucius and Scaloni.

"Do you think it will be easier to deal with me if there are more of you? You don't really think you can beat me like this, do you?"

"What else?" Lucius raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "Do you think I'm bluffing?"

At this time, Scaloni rode his horse between the two of them.

"In short, the conditions we offer are that you surrender, give up the title of Duke of Naples, and go to Saint Laurent City to atone for your sins. If you do not agree, we will raze Romulus City to the ground."

Giovanni heard Scaloni's ultimatum, shrugged, and then turned back to look at his son Donny.

"See, Donny, your last hope is gone. They don't even want to give you the chance to become a duke. They just want to deprive our family of its power!"

Hearing this, Donnie lowered his head in shame.

Giovanni then turned and looked at Scaloni.

"I'm sorry, your conditions are too harsh. We are sorry that we cannot accept them."

"Strict?" Scaloni also frowned.

"So, Duke Giovanni, what you're saying is that we can't talk?"

"Yeah." Giovanni nodded.

"Then don't say I didn't warn you." Scaloni said this, pulled his horse's head, and prepared to leave.

Lucius also glanced at Giovanni and snorted coldly.

"Giovanni, you have been doing stupid things all your life. I hope this is the last stupid thing you do in your life." After saying this, Lucius followed Scaloni and left.

Lit followed Lucius closely to protect his safety.

"Oh, you've been doing stupid things all your life?" Giovanni repeated Lucius' words, sneered, and then took Donny back to Romulus City.

……

Since returning to the Duke's Mansion, Donnie has locked himself in his room and no longer goes out.

Anyway, now that Romulus City has gone through the last suppression incident, there won't be any major security risks for the time being. Even if he doesn't take charge, his subordinates can get things done.

The reason why he did this was because he was confused again.

He didn't know why Giovanni always took him with him when he went out to negotiate.

Even after a few words of negotiation there was no progress.

But the information that Donnie heard was enough to make him feel hopeless.

It seemed that the Empire had never considered letting him succeed Giovanni. What they wanted was the complete destruction of the Florence family.

In this case, if the building collapses, you will become a buried chess piece.

It seems that there is no hope for my future.

And just at this moment, there was a knock on his door.

"Donny." Giovanni pushed open the door and walked into the room. Looking at Donny who was sitting decadently on the sofa, he smiled.

"My child, what are you thinking about? Why are you so troubled?"

"Father...I..." Tony hesitated, but still didn't dare to say what he was thinking.

"Did you think before that as long as I died and you turned yourself in and took the initiative to distance yourself from me, you would be forgiven by them and become the master of Naples?"

When Donnie heard Giovanni say this, he immediately panicked and quickly denied it.

"No, father, I have never thought about this at all. Please believe me."

"Of course I know. You are my child. How can I not know whether you have inherited my personality?"

Giovanni was obviously smiling, but Donnie clearly felt a chill.

"I'm...I'm sorry, father! I...I admit that I did have that thought before, but now I see things clearly. I will follow you to the end!"

"Well, you are worthy of being my good child. In this case, I, your father, cannot treat you unfairly."

Seeing what Donny did, Giovanni nodded with satisfaction, then he took out a small bottle of potion from his storage ring.

"Take it, Donnie. Drink this and you won't be afraid of them."

"Okay, thank you, father..."

After Donny said this, he was about to take the potion, but unexpectedly Giovanni opened the potion directly, then quickly held Donny's head and poured the potion into his mouth.

"Well, this way, you don't have to worry about those things anymore."

Giovanni said coldly, standing up.

"Help me invite Donnie to the basement. After the enemy attacks the city, let Donnie go out to deal with them."

"Yes……"

A cold voice sounded in the room.

Donnie only felt dizzy for a while, and then he lost consciousness.

Chapter 114: I will support you

"Chairman, this is the training location for the second half of the semester sent by the Student Union."

In the Imperial College office building, a standing member of the board of directors placed a document on the desk of the college president Luca.

“The specific locations are not much different from previous years, except that the Napoli area has been excluded.”

"That's normal. After all, that place is in the midst of war right now. If we rashly get involved, it will affect the safety of our students."

Luca said this and glanced at the contents.

He still had great trust in the Student Union. He had been the dean for so many years, and there had never been a Student Union that made him worry, let alone this most outstanding Student Union led by Orson.

……

"Haa~" At this moment in the student union, Orson was lying on a chair and yawning.

Because he was busy before, a lot of unimportant matters of the Student Union were piled up waiting for him to deal with. In the past few days, he had been working overtime except for classes, and he had much less sleep time every day. Finally, he finished dealing with all the piles of matters of the Student Union.

"We're finally done." Olivia, the vice president, also said so.

"Thank you for staying with me these days."

Orson looked at Olivia who was sitting next to him and they smiled at each other.

"Hmph, I'm glad you know it." Olivia snorted.

At this time, there was a knock on the office door.

The two immediately returned to their normal sitting positions.

Then the door opened and Elsa appeared at the door of the office.

"Ah, Prince... ahem, Elsa, you're back?" Orson was about to call her Princess subconsciously, but suddenly realized that this was the Student Union Office of the Imperial Academy, and quickly changed his words.

"Well, President Orson, Vice President Olivia, I'm back." Elsa looked at the two of them and nodded.

In addition to being a student of the Imperial Academy, Elsa also holds a position in the Student Union. It is reasonable for her to come back to find Orson, the president, after finishing her own work.

"In that case, you should hurry back to the office. Your assistant has helped you take care of a lot of things these days, but there are some things you have to go back to deal with after all."

"Okay." Elsa nodded, then thought of something and said, "Um, President Orson, I'd like to invite you to dinner in the evening. Are you free?"

The one who invited him was the princess of the empire, so even if Orson didn't have time, he had to pretend that he had time. He glanced at Olivia beside him, who just smiled politely and didn't give him a threatening look, so Orson felt relieved.

"Night

I am naturally free.”

"In that case, let's meet at the entrance of the commercial street today."

"Ok."

It wasn't until Elsa walked out that the smile on Olivia's face gradually faded.

"It's great, you have such a beautiful fiancée at home, and a confidante outside who loves you. Tsk, it's really hard to choose..."

Olivia's voice was deliberately a little sour.

"Don't talk nonsense. Elsa and I are partners at best. We are just friends at best."

Of course Orson knew that Olivia was not being harsh on Elsa, but was targeting someone else, but at this moment he could only play dumb and get away with it.

"Okay, okay, I won't disturb your 'good thing'. Tonight, after dinner, remember not to stay out all night like last time." Olivia's words clearly carried a hint of toughness.

"That won't happen," Orson assured.

……

At night, Orson arrived at the intersection of the commercial street as promised.

As a princess of the empire, Elsa's appearance is not inferior to any other woman. Standing at the street corner, she is like a flower on a high mountain. Although passers-by often look at her, they dare not stare at her for too long, let alone come forward to talk to her.

Elsa was obviously waiting for someone, and approaching her to talk to her would only cause her dissatisfaction.

If your family doesn't have some strength, who would dare to approach the princess?

Elsa didn't have to wait long before Orson, dressed in formal attire, appeared in her sight.

She smiled and walked forward.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Elsa-sama."

"It's okay." Elsa shook her head. "I wanted to thank you for treating you to dinner. Let's go."

As she said this, she took Orson down the commercial street and came to a restaurant at the back half of the street.

The cost of this restaurant is very high. Although the prices are basically affordable for students at the Imperial College, it is not suitable as a daily dining place. People would only come here when asking for help or discussing cooperation.

When the two arrived at the door, the waiter recognized them at a glance and took them directly to the private room on the second floor.

The two of them ordered some dishes casually. While waiting for the food to be served, Elsa got straight to the point and said:

"Orson, you should have heard about General Scaloni leading his troops south, right?"

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, he should have been besieging the city for half a month now. What happened?"

Hearing Orson say this, Elsa became a little anxious.

"Since you know this, aren't you still worried? The purpose of my brother this time is very clear, isn't it? He wants General Scaloni to gain military merit and to support him to become the second Duke of Antica."

"Ah... So that's how it is." Orson pretended to be surprised and said, "No wonder Rosalin asked me to contact His Royal Highness the Prince. It turns out it's about this."
