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

Chapter 6: The Taste of Brother Orson

The atmosphere became much more relaxed during the following banquet.

What these nobles are best at is flattery and fawning on the powerful. Therefore, even if Lucius had just scolded them a minute ago, they would still come up to him to fawn on him.

Fortunately, they were thick-skinned, so the atmosphere of the banquet was not dull.

Half an hour later, all the dishes in front of Lit were eaten up, and he was a little overwhelmed at this time.

But he was afraid that he would do something wrong, so he simply lowered his head and looked at his knees and did nothing.

Orson had just finished a glass of wine and turned around to see the empty plate in front of Leet. He immediately understood and then walked to Lucius.

"Father, Li Te doesn't seem to be used to the current environment yet. He has finished his meal. How about I take him back to his room first?"

"Okay." Lucius nodded.

After getting Lucius's consent, Orson came to Litt's side.

"Lite, you probably aren't used to this place." Orson said softly, moving his head closer to Lit so that Lit could see him.

Then he smiled.

"You must be tired after sitting in the carriage all day. Why don't you go upstairs and take a rest?"

"Eh? Is that okay?" Lit looked at Orson in surprise. "But, if I leave early, will it be bad?"

"Good boy, no one will blame you." Orson said with a smile.

As expected of the protagonist, his personality is so likable. Even though he knows he can't handle this kind of situation, he still forces himself to do it in order not to embarrass his family.

Then, Orson raised a glass of wine, stood up and looked at the nobles around him.

"Everyone, Li Te has been traveling a long way today, and he just came back from outside. He is not feeling well, so he can't stay here with you. I will take Li Te upstairs first, and then come down to accompany you later."

"Okay okay."

"It's okay, Master Orson, please go first."

"Master Leete and Master Orson are such good brothers. We really don't have to worry about the future."

The nobles praised Orson one after another, and except for Count Carls who had just been choked, they all stood up and greeted the two young masters.

Orson came to the second floor and the maid Vivian was already waiting at the stairs.

Seeing the two young masters coming up, she hurried to greet them.

"Master Orson, Master Litt."

"Vivian, is Litt's room cleaned up?" Orson asked hurriedly.

"Uh... I'm not Master Lit's maid, so I don't know anything about this..." Vivian said this and bowed to the two of them to apologize.

"It's okay, let's just pretend that we haven't cleaned up yet." Orson said this and took Litt to his room.

This was also the first room Lit entered since returning home.

Then he opened the door and led Litt in.

"You can rest in your room for a while. No one will disturb you. Don't worry.

Just be firm and relax a little.”

Then he took Leeteuk by the hand and led him to sit beside his bed.

"If you're tired, just lie down on the bed and rest for a while, or sit on a chair and read a book." Orson said, pointing to the bookshelf. "You can read any of the books on it. If there are some that you don't understand, I can explain them to you when I come back."

"Thank you, Brother Orson." Litt nodded and sat obediently on the edge of the bed.

"Oh, right." Orson seemed to remember something, and then said, "You and I were probably born on the same day. You don't have to call me Brother Orson. Just call me Orson in private. It will make us feel closer this way."

"I understand, Brother Orson..." Li Te nodded, but just as he opened his mouth, he found that he habitually added the word "brother" again, so he quickly changed his words: "O... Orson..."

"Yes, that's right." Orson nodded, and then patted Lit's head gently. "I have something else to do. The party hasn't ended yet, so I have to go to the social event."

As if to resonate with Leeteuk and bring them closer, Orson impatiently shook his hands and said, "Ah, this is really troublesome. Banquets are supposed to be a place where everyone gets together to eat and have fun, but there are always some people who like to scheme against each other at banquets."

"To be honest, I really hate this kind of banquet atmosphere."

Hearing Orson's words, Litt was somewhat moved.

It turns out he's not the only one who doesn't like this party?

"Okay, okay, you take a rest first, I'm leaving." After saying that, Orson waved at Litt, then opened the door again and walked out.

"Master Orson, I just asked, Master Leete's room has not been decorated yet." At the door, Vivian saw Orson coming out and whispered to him.

"What's going on?" Orson frowned. "Didn't we know about Leeteuk's return a few days ago? Why is it taking so long to tidy up a room?"

"I'm sorry, sir. I don't know what's going on." Vivian said this and lowered her head.

Realizing that his words just now were somewhat emotional, Orson also took a step back.

"It's okay, it's okay. This is not your fault. I was a little aggressive." He said with a hint of apology. "Anyway, I'll ask my father and mother about this matter later. You stay here and watch over Leeteuk for now."

"What happened to Master Lit?" Vivian asked with some worry in her tone.

"He's fine, just a little tired. You just stay at the door. If he has any problems while I'm away, help him." Orson reminded. "Leet is still a little shy. If you have nothing to do, don't go into the house and disturb him."

"Okay." Vivian nodded, and then chuckled. "It seems that Master Orson cares more about Master Lit than Master Lucius."

"Haha, after all, he has suffered for so long..."

……

On the other side, Lit sat in the room, thinking about Orson's words, his face flushed.

After today's bumpy ride, she was indeed a little tired.

Can I really just lie on Brother Orson’s bed like this?

Thinking of this, Litt untied the laces of his boots, took them off beside the bed, and lay down on the bed.

This big bed is extremely soft and comfortable, and it is completely different from the hardwood beds in the countryside.

Lying on this bed, Lit felt as if his waist was about to sink.

Then she gently grabbed the quilt and covered herself with it.

The petite body huddled into the quilt, letting the sheet cover her completely.

For some reason, Lit always felt that there was a pleasant smell in the quilt, a smell he had also smelled on his brother Orson.

She couldn't help but pull the quilt to her nose and sniff it carefully.

It was a refreshing fragrance that made people feel safe and comfortable just by smelling it.

Then, as if realizing that his behavior had crossed the line, Lit put down the quilt with a red face and lay down on the bed to rest.

The fatigue of the day was relieved at this moment, and Li Te slowly closed his eyes...

Chapter 7: You Become His Teacher

The banquet lasted for another two hours before the nobles left the Duke's mansion, slightly drunk.

Orson and his servants were cleaning the restaurant when suddenly, he was patted on the shoulder.

"Orson, come with me to the study. I have something to talk to you alone." Lucius said as he walked upstairs.

……

Lucius sat in the study, with a respectful

Orson stood in front of the desk.

"Orson, how old are you this year?" Lucius asked casually while flipping through a book.

"Father, I am eighteen years old."

"Eighteen, eighteen, what a good age..." Lucius sighed. "Eighteen years have passed without me noticing."

"I wonder why my father called me here this time?" Orson bowed slightly and asked with some confusion.

"Orson, what do you think of Litt?" Lucius said.

"There are only you and me here now. There is no need to hide anything. Just speak frankly."

"..." Orson thought for a while, and then said: "In response to your father's words, in my opinion, Li Te is a good boy. At least, he is kind and considerate of other people's emotions."

"Good boy." Hearing Orson's comment, Lucius couldn't help but smile. "You said good boy, as if you were a generation older than Little, but in fact, you two are the same age."

"I'm asking, do you think Litt has the ability to inherit my position?" Lucius then changed the subject and stared at Orson with a sharp gaze.

"Yes," Orson said without hesitation. "Leet is definitely capable of inheriting his father's business."

Orson firmly believed in this point. After all, the protagonist's halo was there. In the original book, after Leet inherited the title of Duke, he did manage the territory in order.

"Oh?" Lucius was a little surprised to hear Orson's answer without hesitation.

He could guess that Orson would reply like this, but he didn't expect Orson to say it so quickly, as if he was very sure of Litt's ability.

"Why don't you tell me why? Li Te's performance today was not satisfactory, and you know that."

"In that case, I'll tell you." Orson smiled, and then continued, "Even if a young phoenix falls into a flock of chickens, its inherent qualities will not change."

"Leet has lived in the countryside for many years and has received a very backward education. Under such circumstances, what do you think his mentality would be like when he first joined the family? Most people would definitely have the mentality of a nouveau riche who wants to get rich overnight, but Leet is not like that. He remains calm and composed enough."

"Plus, I think I'm pretty good at judging people. Although Leeteuk doesn't know anything right now, he will definitely achieve more than me in the future."

"Taller than you..." Lucius fell into deep thought after listening to Orson's words.

His non-blood-related son is already recognized as the strongest of the younger generation in the empire. Under such circumstances, he actually boasted that Li Te would be even more powerful than him in the future?

Lucius found it a little unbelievable.

"Orson, are you serious?"

"I have no reason to lie to my father."

"Okay." Lucius nodded.

Since Orson, who has no blood relationship with Lit and is even a competitor of Lit, values ​​him so much, as a father, I naturally cannot treat Lit unfairly.

The most urgent task should be to find a good teacher for Li Te.

"In that case, Orson, I plan to find a teacher for Litt to instruct him in aristocratic etiquette, culture, combat and magic. Do you have any recommendations?" Lucius looked at Orson with a smile in his eyes.

"A teacher?" Orson was stunned and began to search his memory to see if there was such a person in the world.

The conclusion is no.

In the original work, Leeteuk's growth can almost be summed up in four words.

Self-taught.

As long as Litt is provided with relevant resources, his demonic talent can increase his learning speed to several, dozens or even hundreds of times that of ordinary people.

Then Orson shook his head.

"I'm sorry, father, if I only have one teacher, I can't find such a versatile person."

"Really?" Lucius smiled, "Haha, the all-rounder you mentioned is right in front of me now."

"Ah?" Orson was stunned. "What does father mean?"

"Since you think so highly of Leeteuk and you know him so well, I think only if you teach Leeteuk in person can you guide him onto the right path."

"Besides, you and him are brothers, you are close in age, and you got so close on the first day. The most suitable teacher to teach him and the one he would be most likely to accept is you, isn't it?"

Orson was stunned when he heard Lucius' words.

Then I remembered.

In the original book, Orson did not show such closeness to Litt on the first day, so Lucius

Li Te arranged for another teacher.

The teacher was a well-known professor in the neighborhood, and was always known for his fairness and justice. As a result, under the influence of that person, Leeteuk's character gradually changed from weak to strong.

Later, the teacher was fired because he offended Orson, and the new teacher was replaced by someone recommended by Mary.

Even though Lit worked harder to study, the new teacher kept telling Lucius about Lit, deceiving Lucius by saying that Lit was too playful and was neglecting his studies.
