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

The crowd of citizens blocked the funeral procession's way, and Arthas had no way to suppress them by force. He could only ask Pope Levi to persuade the citizens to go home. However, Pope Levi said he was powerless.

How could one mobilize an army of 100,000 at once to protect a daughter's safety?

At this point, Arthas also saw the attitude of the church.

He even wrote it directly in the letter, just like showing off his muscles.

The church only wants to remain neutral in this matter, and there is even a possibility that it will sit on the fence and side with Elsa's faction.

Then came letters from Orleans, Aragon, and Lucia.

However, at this time, the legacy issues of the empire's history came up again.

The three dukes all expressed neutrality and condolences, and even the Duke of Orleans wanted to join Elsa.

The church has its own Papal Guard. Although their number is small, their eliteness is even comparable to that of the Imperial Guard. In this case, it is obviously unwise and unfeasible to try to control the church by force.

And I attacked the palace demon

Although the mission of the magician's station was completed, the court magicians escaped with Elsa.

The Pope also has the power to excommunicate secular rulers, just as he had excommunicated Giovanni before.

I just drove them out of the palace and didn't catch the person I wanted to catch.

Although there is no precedent in history of excommunicating an emperor, it does not mean that the Pope cannot do so.

Arthas really couldn't imagine where his sister got such a high charisma that attracted so many people to help her.

When he thought of this possibility, cold sweat broke out on Arthas's back again.

It is precisely because of this news that the news in Arthas in the next few days will definitely not be good.

Back in the palace, Arthas was not in a good mood.

However, at this moment the door was knocked by the guard. After receiving a response from Arthas inside the room, the guard opened the door and walked in.

Rosalin came up and gently massaged Arthas' shoulders.

"Who is preparing to send troops to attack us again? Just tell me directly." Arthas said unhappily with his eyes closed.

"You have worked hard."

"No, Your Majesty, when the Imperial Court was trying Orson, Sherlock suddenly appeared and said that the evidence we had prepared was false. As a result of her actions, the Imperial Court directly announced a date for the trial. We cannot bring Orson down today."

She said this in a gentle tone.

Hearing this, Arthas sat up directly from the sofa, scaring Rosalin who was massaging him and making her scream.

Arthas also felt a rare sense of warmth.

"ah!"

Ever since he decided to fight for the throne, he has never felt the warmth from his family.

"Feel sorry."

And now, after his father's death and his complete break with his sister, he once again felt the long-lost warmth in Rosaline.

Arthas first apologized to Rosaline, then stood up and walked to the guards.

Perhaps it was because of the excessive pressure from the outside world and he just wanted to find a safe haven here, so he naturally regarded Rosaline as that person.

But no matter what, my current mood is real, and that is enough.

"You just said that Sherlock suddenly appeared?"

Thinking of this, Arthas stood up and hugged Rosaline with love for the first time in his life.

"Yes, that's right. Her evidence caused some of the evidence we presented to be perjured. The judges couldn't make a judgment, so they could only choose to wait for another day..."

Rosalin's eyes widened in surprise, but then her body softened and she hugged Arthas back.

"This is not difficult to judge, this is clearly a trick to deceive me."

Arthas said this with an expression as if he had eaten a fly.

"You must be tired. Next, should I help you go to bed?"

He arranged people to keep an eye on Sherlock, but now it seems that his own people have most likely rebelled.

"Ah."

Arthas nodded.

……

On the other hand, Orson was taken to the Imperial Court for trial. The trial lasted two days. The first day was the opening of the court to determine the guilt, and the second day was the trial of the guilt.

On the first day of the trial, Orson was convicted of treason for his involvement in the murders of Francis, Duke of Orleans, and Odysseus, Emperor of the Empire, and then deliberately framing Alsace in an attempt to overthrow the rule of the empire.

If Orson were to be tried for these crimes, any one of them would be enough to get him beheaded.

However, Orson just smiled in court and did not refute any of the charges.

Everything waited until the next day when there was enough material to start the trial based on the material and evidence.

Orson's life seemed to have come to an end.

At night, high-ranking knight Owen knocked on Orson's door, then pushed it open and walked into the room.

Orson was lying on the bed at this moment, still looking very comfortable.

"Orson, tomorrow is the final accusation. Can you still sleep now?"

"Yeah." Orson nodded. "I have a clear conscience, so why can't I sleep?"

"As for you guys, I haven't seen Sherlock these days. Has she been arrested by you as well?"

"I don't know." Owen shook his head. "I don't know what your majesty did."

"I suggest you stop calling him His Majesty for now, otherwise you will feel awkward when you change your name later."

Owen heard what Orson said. Although he felt a little unhappy, he didn't say much.

After all, he also knew that there was something fishy about Arthas's coming to power. If he sent someone to investigate, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand the investigation.

"But I have to give you a piece of advice, Sir Owen."

Orson said this, closed the book in his hand, put it on the bedside table, and then looked at Owen.

"I suggest you keep an eye on the raven these days, otherwise, he could easily run away."

Having said this, Orson turned off the bedside lamp.

"I'm going to rest now. I hope I can be like a raven when I wake up tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Owen immediately left the room, closed Orson's door, and then came to the cell where Raven was being held.

The guards at the door saw Owen coming and quickly let him in.

Owen used the key to unlock Raven's cell, and the scene that appeared before him made him stand there in surprise.

The cell was empty at this moment.

Raven, once a serious criminal of the Empire, has now disappeared.

Seeing this, Owen hurried to the cell door and looked at the two guards at the door.

"Where are the prisoners inside?"

Owen suppressed the anger in his chest and asked.

"Today, a group of knights came with an imperial decree from His Majesty, saying that the raven should be taken away and executed, so we let them take the raven away."

"Do you know where he was taken to be executed?"

"do not know."

The guard shook his head.

Owen was so angry when he heard this that he punched the wall hard, scaring the two guards at the door so much that they broke out in cold sweats and trembled.

He was afraid that Owen's next punch would fall on him.

Thinking about what Orson had just said, Owen immediately thought of someone.

So he went to the palace at night to meet Arthas.

However, at this moment, he saw the sound of fighting coming from the court magician's residence not far away. Fireballs exploded in the air and swords slashed on the barriers. The original royal guards were now in internal turmoil and fighting each other.

In Owen's eyes, only a few days had passed, but the situation in the empire had changed dramatically.

He paused for a few seconds, then ignored the battle in the distance and insisted on heading towards the palace.

However, he was stopped at the gate of the palace.

"I'm going to see His Majesty. I have something important to discuss!" Owen said to the guard at the door in a serious tone.

But the guard just shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Lord Owen, His Majesty is resting with the Queen now. Please don't disturb them, otherwise it will be very difficult for us."

Hearing the other party say this, and hearing such a firm tone, Owen could only turn around angrily.

The next morning, he saw Orson again.

"Am I right? Is the raven missing?"

"He has been executed."

Owen said.

He didn't sleep all night last night and looked much more haggard than before.

"Did you see his body, or are you a smart man willing to believe one side of the story? Then it seems that I have to change my opinion of you."

"..."

Owen was silent.

"We can't help it. Arthas has gone mad. At this point, he is willing to use any trump card, even the felon."

Orson said this and stood up.

"Well, I know you don't want to believe me, so take me to the court now. I want to see what the judges are going to convict me of."

"You don't have to go."

Owen said so.

"What? But weren't you the ones who arrested me?"

Orson raised an eyebrow.

"If you go now, you will just die in vain. It's not worth it to sacrifice your life for a political struggle."

"So, you want to betray Arthas?"

"I will not betray the Empire."

Owen said so.

"Oh, the Empire?"

Orson said this with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Then it seems that you are a smart person."

Orson stood next to Owen.

"But you should still take me to the court. I am sure they can't do anything to me."

"I, Orson, am not someone who would surrender when in danger."

……

On the other side, in Sherlock's room.

These days, she cooperated with Phil to record a batch of confessions. She knew that these confessions would be used against Orson.

Once her evidence is presented in court, coupled with Arthas's arrangements, Orson will definitely not be able to escape trial.
