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

When Mark heard about this banquet, he immediately understood what Orson meant.

Although it is said to be a good impression, in fact, this is probably not the reason for the enmity.

“Remember, remember…”

But there is no choice. Since I have already said this, there is no turning back and I can only continue with this topic.

"At that time, I obeyed Celinina's wishes and stood up to protect her, but your father said: 'Your family only became dukes more than a decade ago. Before that, you were not even worthy of entering such social occasions!'"

"At that time... my father was too angry and said some irrational words. If I have offended you, Duke Orson, please forgive me."

"Of course, this is no offense to me, it's just to my loved ones."

Orson shrugged.

"After all, my family was built by my father with his own efforts. It was accumulated bit by bit through his military exploits on the front lines. I don't want his value to be devalued to nothing because of the ridicule of such people."

"But now I have a new understanding of this sentence."

Mark broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, and then asked:

"Duke Orson, what do you think?"

"I agree with the saying that people's status will change as the environment changes. The change in the environment now is that you have lost the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce. From today on, you are just ordinary people with some money. I'm afraid you can't fit in at the social gatherings downstairs."

Having said that, Orson also stood up, turned around and left the meeting room, leaving Mark alone.

When we got downstairs, we heard deafening applause.

In the middle of the banquet, Chelinina announced to the business celebrities attending the banquet the news that the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce was acquired by the Lison Chamber of Commerce.

With this, Chelinina successfully completed her revenge on her father.

She completely shattered the shackles that had once been intended to be placed on her head, broke free of the cage, and became her own master.

Seeing this, Orson also applauded Chelinina wholeheartedly.

He helped Chelinina a lot, but Chelinina did not burn her bridges. Instead, she knew very well why she was successful and never treated Orson unfairly.

Because of this, the two established a close working relationship, and in the end, Chelinina even confessed her feelings to Orson.

After the banquet, Orson followed Chelinina to the rooftop of the Chamber of Commerce. On the balcony, the two of them enjoyed the evening breeze.

"Congratulations, Chelinina, you have completely succeeded. From now on, you will be the freest person."

There is an additional clause in the acquisition contract, which is to end the father-daughter relationship between Celinina and Louis. Although Celinina will still retain the Bonaventura family name, she will no longer have any family obligations to her father and two brothers.

In other words, when the three of them are down and out in the streets in the future, they should not expect Chelinina to help them.

"Hey, isn't this all because of your help, Orson?"

Chelinina was obviously also very happy. After completely acquiring the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, she would basically be the one who had the final say in the business world of the empire.

Pricing, supply, handling fees, etc. are all firmly in her hands. Not only does she eat the meat, but even drinking the soup depends on her mood, and she doesn't have to share it with others.

Thinking back on her struggle with her father and brother, Chelinina felt like she was in a dream.

"Don't say that, Chelinina. You must have your own reasons for being successful."

Orson said this, raised his glass and clinked it with Chelinina.

"Although your father and brother seem incompetent, that's only compared to you. In fact, if nothing unexpected happens, they are capable of protecting the foundation of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce."

"Of course I know that."

Chelinina nodded, took a sip of red wine, and then pointed to the former Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce headquarters not far away.

"I have had a dream since I was very young, that is, to be able to take over there one day."

"But as I grew up, I found that what my father asked me to learn was completely different from what I wanted to learn. My father asked me to learn etiquette, musical instruments and gardening, and even arranged for me to learn household management skills, but he never arranged for me to learn business management."

"So I started to teach myself, following my father, watching him, and learning from him."

"Now that I think about it, maybe not having experienced the teachings of others has given me a different understanding from them, which has helped me a lot. Otherwise, I probably would have the same thinking as them."

Having said this, Chelinina couldn't help but laugh at herself.

"Actually, now that I think about it, I seem to have the same idea as them, but your appearance, Orson, has given me a completely new understanding."

"So, in the final analysis, Orson, you are not only an important advisor to me, but also a mentor who changed my destiny, and..."

As she said this, Chelinina gently leaned her head on Orson's shoulder.

Orson's body stiffened for a moment, then he adjusted to the feeling and relaxed.

"Don't make me sound so great. I'm just an ordinary person."

"If even you can only be considered an ordinary person, then the people in the entire empire are probably all ugly."

Chelinina joked.

Then, silence fell between the two.

Looking up, the two people watched the bright moon in the sky until it was covered by dark clouds.

"It should rain tomorrow..."

Chelinina looked at the sky and said thoughtfully.

"Ah."

Orson nodded.

"I've prepared an umbrella for you. If you need it, just let me know."

"I will."

Orson and Chelinina walked back inside and were alone for a while before Orson left the Lison Chamber of Commerce.

……

The next day, it was dawn.

Sherlock woke up from bed, got dressed and prepared to go to work at the police station.

As soon as she arrived at the door, she felt something was wrong.

There were at least five strangers outside the door.

She knew magic, and in order to prevent thieves from breaking in, she cast a detection magic at the door of her residence to sense any unusual auras.

If a person's presence remains within the range of the detection magic for a long time, she will receive a warning when she reaches the door.

At this moment, she sensed the presence of five people at the door.

Faced with this situation, she was particularly careful and walked out through the secret door leading to the alley.

However, when she walked out of the alley, several guards came up to her instantly.

"Miss Sherlock, we suspect that you have been bribed by the suspect and are deliberately shielding the suspect, so please come with us."

"Huh? Bribed? Who are you? Who sent you here?!"

Sherlock knew he couldn't resist, so he decided to find out their background.

However, the other party said nothing and just made a "please" gesture.

Sherlock had no choice but to follow a few people to a house outside the palace.

At this moment, inside the palace.

Odysseus is still unconscious, Arthas is kneeling

After a day, he could only return to his residence under the persuasion of the guards.

Before leaving, he informed the guards to notify him immediately if the emperor showed signs of consciousness.

Afterwards, he returned to his residence and began to plan secretly.

Arthas was not ignorant of government affairs as Odysseus said. On the contrary, it was because he was very interested in politics that he regarded increasing the royal power as his most important task after taking office.

After Odysseus completely gave up his confidence in Arthas and prepared to train Elsa as his successor, Arthas had only one choice.

"came back?"

Inside the room, Rosalyn looked at Arthas.

"Ah."

Not long after their last meeting, Rosalin formed an alliance with Arthas, the two became nominally husband and wife, and then lived together.

The alliance has only one goal.

Arthas became Emperor of the Empire and Rosaline became Empress of the Empire.

"How is the Emperor's health?"

"Nothing serious, just unconscious."

Arthas said this, took off his coat and sat on the chair.

"but……"

"but?"

Rosalin looked at Arthas in confusion.

"My father no longer trusts me. He plans to let Elsa inherit the throne."

Hearing this, Rosalyn was stunned.

"So, you are going to keep waiting like this until your sister takes your place?"

"...What else? He is my father."

"It is true that he is your father, but, Arthas, you are the future emperor."

Rosalyn walked up behind Arthas and placed her hands on his shoulders.

"I'm not a woman who likes to fail. What happened last time has brought shame to my family."

"This time, it's about the future. I don't want to lose again. Do you understand?"

"So what are you going to let me do?"

"At least for now, His Majesty the Emperor hasn't issued an official order, right?"

Hearing this, Arthas turned around and looked at Rosaline in astonishment.

"So, what do you mean?"

Rosalin moved closer to Arthas and whispered in his ear:

"I'm terrified of losing something, especially when that thing is something I value most."

"So, if someone insists on taking it away from me, I will fight with all my might."

"Now, while everything has not become a fait accompli, there is still room for maneuver, right?"

Upon hearing this, Arthas nodded.

"I see."

Rosalin then told Arthas what to do, and after listening, Arthas did not refuse.

But his hands hidden under his sleeves were trembling slightly.

Chapter 5: Breaking off friendship (K)

"Phil? Why you?"

Sherlock was taken to a house and followed the guards to the second floor, where he saw an old acquaintance of his in the study.

"You go down first."

Phil didn't answer Sherlock, but glanced at the guard next to Sherlock.

The latter heard this, nodded, and then left the room.

Afterwards, Phil looked at Sherlock with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"Charlotte, sit down first."

She still used a more intimate title to prove the relationship between herself and Sherlock.
