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

Scaloni looked at the old man and said sadly: "Teacher Belmonte, have you betrayed me too?"

The old general named Belmont shook his head and then sighed.

"This is not betrayal, Scaloni. It is true that you are a pure soldier, but you changed after your daughter forced politics into you."

"The military should not have interfered in the affairs of succession. The war of succession is not over yet. If you continue to do so, it will only ruin you and your daughter."

"But if I don't do this, can Rosaline and I survive? There is no mercy in political struggles."

“……” Belmont was silent.

At this time, Modius, who had been arrogant just now, also laughed.

"Then, according to military practice, when the army encounters an emergency, the generals have the right to hold a joint meeting to decide the army's next move. Now, let's hold a joint meeting. As for the first agenda of the joint meeting."

Modius said this and looked at Scaloni.

"That is, Scaloni's qualifications as commander-in-chief must be dismissed, the army must immediately stop marching, and no further interference in the war of succession will be made."

……

It was evening and the joint meeting ended.

Scaloni was dismissed from his position as commander-in-chief, and Modius is currently the commander-in-chief of the imperial army.

Scaloni was also placed under house arrest and was not allowed to contact Arthas.

After arranging everything, Modius came to another tent.

Just this morning, the two men came to the army and met Modius, and within just one morning, Modius successfully persuaded all the generals.

"How are things arranged?"

After Modius walked into the tent, an elegant female voice was heard.

"Following your instructions, I successfully united all the generals and got this done. Now Scaloni is no longer the commander-in-chief of the army, and Arthas has completely lost all command over the army."

"Well done."

At this time, the woman turned around.

The one who came to the army this morning was Olivia.

"General Modius, you are a smart man who knows when to strive for the best interests for yourself. I believe that in the future imperial army, you will definitely replace Scaloni and become the representative of the army."

Olivia said this, smiling as she entrusted Modius with the promise of the future.

When Modius heard this, he just shook his head smartly.

"I don't care about these things. I'm old now. The pursuit of fame and fortune is what young people like the most. I just want to enjoy my old age."

"Don't worry, even if the royal family doesn't value you in the future, Prussia will always have a place for you."

After receiving this promise, Modius nodded with satisfaction.

"Now that you say that, I feel much more relieved."

Just a few days ago, Olivia took Lianka away from the Imperial Academy. With the help of her connections in the Empire as the daughter of the Duke of Prussia, Olivia successfully met Modius.

Afterwards, Olivia successfully persuaded Modius to join her side without much effort.

Olivia's words were quite simple.

Scaloni is the emperor's father-in-law. Once Alsace wins, Scaloni's power in the army will be unlimited, and Modius, who had a feud with Scaloni before, will obviously be the first to be liquidated.

Yes, Olivia had long known that Scaloni and Modius had a feud. Modius' son had previously pursued Scaloni's daughter Rosaline, but was rejected by the latter and humiliated in person. This matter was widely known at the time.

Of course, everyone knew that the relationship between the two was not good, but in addition to using this rhetoric, Olivia also provided Modius with a plan that could convince others.

In the imperial army, each general is responsible for leading a troop. If the army enters the city of Saint Laurent, and Scaloni orders other generals' troops to deal with civilians and rebels, how should others respond at this time?

If he obeyed the order, his reputation would be ruined after the war, and his subordinates would also be killed in the battle, which would affect his position in the army.

If I don't obey the order, and I've already arrived in Saint Laurent City, who can guarantee that a group of high-ranking knights won't come and carry me away the next day?

As a result, this method was effective in convincing most of the generals who were neutral like Modius.

As for convincing the rest, that's even easier.

"Most of the generals are on the same side as me. What qualifications do you have to object?"

Thus, this "coup" in the army was easily completed.

Arthas originally had a great influence in the army and had good relations with many generals, but the fact that Scaloni, who had already left his post, was re-employed hurt the hearts of many generals.

Arthas' original intention was to appoint his most trusted person to lead the most important army, which was not wrong. However, in the eyes of other generals, it was as if their efforts had never been recognized. However, Scaloni, who had just left office due to unfavorable war conditions, was able to be re-appointed because of his father's daughter's status, which made them feel a little unbalanced.

But if we move forward in time, we can still find Orson's figure.

The reason why Scaloni had a bad war was because he was competing with Orson for the position of Duke of Napoli.

It was in that war against Giovanni that Scaloni suffered a crushing defeat.

Because of that disastrous defeat, Scaloni's reputation and status in the army plummeted.

If it weren't for that disastrous defeat, with Scaloni's status and reputation in the army, Alsace would have appointed him, and even if there was a relationship with him as his father-in-law, other generals would not have said much.

After all, Scaloni was indeed a representative figure in the army at that time and was also a rising star. Otherwise, it would be impossible for his daughter to make Modius remain silent after humiliating Modius' son.

The reason why Scaloni competed with Orson for the position of Duke of Napoli was also due to Orson's help.

It was Orson who arranged the meeting between Rosaline and Arthas, and it was Orson who brought these two extremely ambitious people together.

This plan, this layout, this series of events.

Orson had started preparations and arrangements a long time ago.

……

Saint Laurent City, the Royal Palace.

When Arthas sent contact information to the army today, the army also received a reply. Due to heavy rain and mud on the return road, the imperial army, which was originally expected to arrive in Saint Laurent City in three days, might be delayed by about three or four days.

Arthas expressed his understanding of this.

But after a week without seeing any sign of the Imperial Army, Arthas became anxious. He sent three scouts in succession and even asked the scouts to go directly to Scaloni.

However, this time, the scout never returned.

Arthas now realized that the army had rebelled.

The most important trump card in his hand disappeared out of thin air.

It was at this time that Rosaline came to Arthas.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

"What happened?"

When Arthas thought of the father-daughter relationship between Rosalin and Scaloni, he was furious. This was the first time in so many days that he

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone when he spoke to Rosalyn again.

"Rosaline, do you know? I have high hopes for your father Scaloni and handed all the troops to him, but now the troops can no longer be contacted!"

Hearing this, Rosalin froze in place, and the fruit plate she had just brought fell to the ground, turning into a pool of debris.

"Oh, you seem surprised too?"

Arthas said with a sneer.

Then he punched the wall hard and roared loudly.

"Scaloni, give me back my legion!"

Chapter 4.6: Two-faced (K)

The largest armed force in Alsace's hands is gone. Now Alsace only has three armed forces that can be mobilized: the Saint Laurent City Garrison, the Royal Palace Guards and the Royal Knights.

Among them, although the Imperial Guards and the Royal Knights are quite elite and it is no exaggeration to say that one is worth ten, their numbers are after all too few.

Moreover, this suspension of the imperial army was equivalent to hanging a sword over Arthas' head that could fall at any time.

If the imperial army truly practices its purpose of not interfering in the royal family's internal affairs, then they should not allow the armies of other dukes to participate in this war.

But if the army is really "completely neutral", they should not even intercept the Duke's army. By then, the people outside the city of Saint Laurent will be all their enemies.

After venting his anger, Arthas realized this cruel reality.

His attempt to eliminate the rebels in Saint Laurent City by cooperating internally and externally failed.

So what should I do next?

Arthas discovered that his chances of winning had become a number infinitely close to zero, without him knowing when.

Rosalin next to her also reacted at this moment. She covered her mouth in disbelief and fell to the ground, looking distraught.

She never expected that her fight for power would lead to trouble.

When Arthas was appointed commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army, Rosaline did a lot of persuasion to persuade Arthas to reinstate Scaloni. In addition to Arthas' own considerations, Rosaline also played a big role.

However, now, the cruel reality tells the couple that what they did was completely wrong.

It is true that one should not employ people who are suspicious of him, but nepotism can easily lead to resentment from others.

"Rosalyn."

At this time, Arthas looked at Rosaline again.

"I know this is definitely not what you want to happen, but now that things have come to this, we can only try our best to find a way to remedy the situation. Now, you are the only person I can trust, Rosalyn."

Arthas said this, looked at Rosaline, and then said:

"Aren't you a student of the Imperial Academy? You can go back to the Imperial Academy. I want you to help me persuade Orson. No matter what conditions are given, as long as Orson agrees to stop targeting me, even if I restore his reputation after the war and admit that all the mistakes were fabricated by me, I can even let him become the chancellor of the empire."

Hearing what Arthas said, Rosalin froze in place.

The Arthas in front of me seemed a little strange.

"real."

Arthas squatted down and held Rosaline's shoulders tightly, as if he had grabbed the last straw.

"As long as I can keep my throne, I will agree to whatever Osenti's conditions are. If that doesn't work, you can ask him to arrange a neutral location so I can talk to him in person, okay?"

"And Elsa, except for the throne, I can give Elsa everything, including the territory, the army, the gold coins, and even the inheritance rights of my descendants. I can also give them to Elsa's line."

Arthas's tone almost became one of pleading. Rosaline felt distressed, but she also realized Arthas's current situation.

He has always been like that, obsessed with power, so when he is about to lose those things, Arthas becomes very scared.

When he is extremely frightened, he will do many unexpected things.

Rosalin looked at Arthas' panicked eyes and finally nodded painfully.

"I understand, Your Majesty. I will help you talk to Orson. If the conditions are acceptable, I will come back to report."

"Well, if the conditions are acceptable, there's no problem with you just agreeing to them!"

Hearing this, Rosalin stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked to the door.

"His Majesty."

At this moment, Rosalin suddenly turned around.

"What are you going to do if Orson doesn't accept it?"

"..." Arthas was silent. He glanced at Rosaline and then shook his head.

"If he really doesn't accept it, I can only..." As he said this, he smiled bitterly and glanced at the beams, as if he had found his position.

Seeing this, Rosalin also showed a bitter smile.

"If that day ever comes, I will never betray His Majesty and live alone."

Hearing Rosalin's words, Arthas felt warm in his heart. He came to Rosalin and hugged her tightly. After a long time, the two separated again.

"I know there may be many reasons why you like me, but now, I want to believe that it is the purest and most pure love."

Rosalyn returned the kiss.

Perhaps, this will be the last kiss between the two.
