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

After the holiday, the student's operation almost came to a standstill, and at this moment, only Elsa and a few people who remained on duty in the Student Union Building.

Orson walked directly to the office Elsa was in charge of. When he opened the door, he saw Elsa resting at the desk. Opposite her, Afro was also sitting there, helping Elsa process documents.

Seeing this, Orson frowned and looked at Afro.

“Are there so many documents for the holidays as well?”

When Afro saw Orson coming in, he was startled at first, then after hearing Orson's words, he said helplessly:

"There aren't many documents for the holidays, but ours is a special case. Because of the war in the city, many students can't enter and leave the Imperial Academy freely, so the purchase and distribution of materials all need to be counted manually... In addition, Elsa hasn't been in a good mood recently, so I came to help her..."

Upon hearing this, Orson expressed his understanding.

There is still no conclusion about Odysseus' death. Elsa, Odysseus' daughter, was even accused of murdering her father because of Arthas's exclusion and could not even attend the hastily held funeral.

As a child, it is a great sorrow not to be able to attend the funeral of one's parents.

At this time, after hearing the conversation between the two, Elsa woke up in a daze.

When Elsa saw Orson standing at the door, she was stunned for a moment, then quickly slapped her face.

After making sure she was not dreaming, Elsa said in surprise:

"Orson! When did you come back?"

"When can't I go back to Imperial College?"

Orson said this and sat down on a chair in the office.

"Tell me about what happened recently."

After hearing what Orson said, Elsa also knew the purpose of his return, so

She said somewhat awkwardly:

"Orson, you may find this a little outrageous, but...every word I'm about to say is true."

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Orson nodded to show that he was listening carefully.

Next, Elsa recounted everything that happened that night from the court magician's perspective.

When the court magicians moved into the Imperial Academy, the academy specially arranged a rest area for them. Because the Imperial Academy itself was large enough and it was the holidays, there was a lot of surplus space in the staff rest area, so these court magicians moved in.

For a long time afterwards, both sides kept their distance from each other.

However, that night, several drunk students ran to the residence of the Court Magicians and caused trouble, disturbing people's rest. Several court magicians who could not bear it anymore started arguing with them.

As a result, during the argument, those people suddenly foamed at the mouth, fell to the ground, and eventually died.

The magicians detected toxins in their bodies.

Either the wine they drank before was poisoned, or they had taken poison a long time ago.

The court magicians did not hide the bodies, but reported them to the academy's board of directors.

By the next day, the whole school knew about it.

After listening to Elsa's description, Orson touched his chin and said:

"This is an obvious case of frame-up, but it is just this kind of thing that the court magicians cannot eliminate suspicion."

"The most important thing is that some classmates were already dissatisfied with them, and this incident happened after they arrived, so regardless of whether they are suspicious or not, the students will exclude them."

"That's right!" Elsa agreed.

"So we have no other options now, and I don't know what to do."

"Originally, Olivia was still here a few days ago, but now she's gone. As an office director, they won't obey me even if I'm called a princess."

Elsa said helplessly.

"It's just that I didn't know they would actually invite you back."

Having said this, she looked up at Orson again.

"By the way, Orson, your return this time, does it mean that our control area has been connected to the Imperial Academy?"

"If that's the case, should I come back? Wouldn't it be better to just let the Court Magician Group withdraw to our base?"

"Eh? Then...then how did you get here?"

"I have my own way."

Orson said mysteriously.

……

On the other side, the fake Orson just looked up at Arthas, revealed a weird smile, and then fell on his back.

His physique is 90% similar to Orson's, and under the cover of the soldier's helmet, it is really hard to tell whether it is Orson or not.

But when he really saw the facial features, Arthas immediately knew that he had been fooled.

I was fooled. The one I killed was the fake Orson. The real Orson is probably already in the Imperial College.

Arthas was so angry that he was about to ask the stand in front of him, but he didn't expect that the stand had already lost its breath.

Langdon squatted down and put his hand to the tip of the stand-in's nose to confirm that the stand-in had stopped breathing. After carefully confirming that it was not a fake death, he turned around and looked at Arthas and shook his head.

"Is this some kind of witchcraft?"

Arthas asked in confusion as he saw the man who had been standing upright suddenly fall down.

“Not really.” Langdon frowned and shook his head.

"He must have taken some kind of poison, and just now, he died from the poison."

As he said this, Langdon opened the man's mouth and scraped it around with his gloved index finger. Sure enough, a bunch of black stuff hung out.

"poison."

Langdon said simply.

"The other party prepared poison in advance to prevent us from torture."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Arthas became furious.

Why does it feel like every step I take is planned by Orson?

"What should we do? Orson should have entered the Imperial College by now."

"It doesn't matter. As long as we block the communication between the Imperial Academy and the outside world, Orson won't be able to get out, right?"

At this time, Langdon proposed a plan to remedy the situation.

"……makes sense."

Arthas nodded.

Although it is impossible to capture Orson directly here, the strength of the coalition forces will definitely be greatly reduced when Orson leaves the command position.

As long as he could ensure that Orson stayed in the Imperial Academy, it didn't matter if he stayed there for the rest of his life.

After all, on the battlefield, Arthas was afraid of no one except Orson.

"Then... pass on my order to seal off the Imperial Academy and put pressure on the board of directors. Now only people are allowed to enter the Imperial Academy but not leave."

Arthas looked at the guards beside him and gave his orders.

"clear."

Chapter 4: Return my Legion to me! (K)

On the other side, the main force of the imperial army was only three days away from the city of Saint Laurent. Scaloni and Arthas maintained constant contact every day and were aware of each other's situation.

On the way back to Saint Laurent City today, he planned to hold a meeting among the officers in advance to stabilize the morale of the troops.

After all, the imperial army is likely to take action against the residents of Saint Laurent City next, so he has to give his men a shot of prevention in advance and prepare them to suppress and control the emotions of the soldiers.

After all, if we don't do that, it will be easy for something to happen to the army.

Mutiny and rebellion are still relatively safe, but we are worried that the lower-level army will completely get out of control.

Scaloni was the last one to arrive at the conference hall. He walked past a group of middle and senior military officers and sat in the main seat. Then he looked at everyone and stated the purpose of holding this meeting.

"Everyone, we are holding this meeting near Saint Laurent City to discuss some things. As you all know, Saint Laurent City is now divided into two parts by armed forces. Some people have joined the ranks of those who betrayed the emperor under the instigation of the thieves. What we have to do is to wipe out all these traitors. However, if we encounter resistance from the instigated people during the process, I also hope that my soldiers can swing their swords."

Hearing Scaloni say this, a general raised an objection.

"General Scaloni, I think it's better for the army to refrain from interfering in the affairs of the royal family. You and I both know that your son-in-law has become the emperor of the empire. We all understand that you are leaning towards him, but as a native of Saint Laurent, I am sorry that I cannot do anything to my compatriots."

"If it is an order from His Majesty the Emperor, we will of course obey it, but the situation is complicated now. I think the army should be more determined to protect its bottom line."

Another general also spoke up.

Normally, they are all generals in the imperial army, which is considered to be the same level. The only difference is due to the emperor's orders and the tasks they are responsible for in the war.

Therefore, it is understandable that people do not buy into Scaloni's account.

After all, Scaloni had just suffered a defeat, and it was entirely thanks to Arthas that he was able to return to the army and take charge of power. Why should he order these old hands around?

This was even more the case after they suffered several defeats.

"..." Scaloni looked extremely uncomfortable when he heard this.

He had thought that these people would be dissatisfied with him, but he did not expect them to show it so quickly.

So, Scaloni had to move out the big Buddha of Alsace.

"Everyone, I am not holding this meeting to discuss things, but to give orders. You are all soldiers, and obeying orders is your natural duty. You are also generals appointed by the emperor himself, and the royal family has high expectations of you. Now that the royal family is in trouble, you are not rushing to help, and you are actually thinking of staying out of it?!"

Scaloni questioned the people in front of him, but he didn't expect them to not buy it at all.

One of them even sneered.

"Oh, of course our military ranks were appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, but the previous Emperor, this one, has not even investigated the cause of the previous Emperor's death, and has not given us a reasonable explanation, yet he is already impatient to exercise his power?"

Scaloni slammed the table and stood up.

"Modius! Don't think you can take advantage of your seniority here just because you became a general a few years earlier than me!"

"Why? Ask everyone present here, who has less experience than you? Isn't it your father-in-law, the emperor, who is bullying others by taking advantage of his power?!"

The general named Modius also stood up after being called, not afraid of Scaloni at all. At the same time, the other generals present also lowered their heads at this moment, and no one stood up to persuade.

Scaloni has a hot temper and he lost his mind a little when he saw Modius say that.

"This is the order of His Majesty the Emperor.

If you don't obey my orders, hand over your military power, and I will let someone who obeys me be the leader of the army!"

"Scaloni! You will only turn the army into a sword in the hands of the tyrant!" said Modius.

"We have sharp eyes and clear minds. We have seen everything Arthas did when he ascended the throne! We obeyed orders before in order to see Arthas clearly. But now, I tell you clearly that it is better to let the country be destroyed than to let a man like Arthas take over the country!"

Hearing what Modius said, Scaloni rushed to him angrily.

"What? Are you going to kill me? Or are you going to take away my military power?"

Modius said threateningly.

At this time, the other generals also raised their heads and watched Scaloni's every move.

Everything seemed to be warning Scaloni that if he dared to take action, his position in the army would no longer exist.

Scaloni finally calmed down at this time, and then he glanced at all the generals present.

A feeling of desolation suddenly welled up in my heart.

"You have already discussed this and are ready to impeach me at this meeting, right?"

No one answered.

After a long while, the most senior general in the army slowly spoke:

"Scaloni, I have watched you grow from a sergeant to a general of the same rank as me. Your abilities are obvious to all. You have won many battles and your record is among the best in the army. We all respect you very much."

“But now, things are different.”
