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

"Besides, I can see that Lit is a good kid. In time, he will definitely become a qualified noble and will not disappoint you." Orson said with a smile. "Well, since you are here for a rare occasion, please enjoy the wine and feast. I will not disturb you."

At the dinner table, a smile is often the most effective way to liven up the atmosphere.

Sure enough, after Orson finished speaking, the atmosphere on the field suddenly became lively, and many nobles began to chat with each other.

Many people also toasted Orson, and Orson responded one by one.

The banquet, which had been somewhat awkward due to Leeteuk's cough, returned to normalcy.

Lucius looked at Orson's calm demeanor and felt very satisfied with this eldest son who was not of his own blood.

In his opinion, as the eldest son of the family, Orson, not to mention his extremely abnormal talent, his way of dealing with people is very comfortable.

Letting him inherit the family seems to be the most correct decision.

However, the concept of bloodline deeply rooted in the hearts of the nobles still made him instinctively resist this matter.

Therefore, he did not explicitly designate Orson as his successor.

He wanted to see whether Li Te could inherit the family business after growing up.

He would only choose Leoson as his successor if Lit was still considered a waste who was incapable of leading the family.

Otherwise, even if Orson was unwilling, he would persuade Orson to do his best to assist Litt.

Thinking of this, he looked at Lit, who was sitting next to Orson, eating silently without saying a word.

Beside him was Orson, who was facing a group of nobles and interacting with them.

Although he didn't know why Orson's attitude towards Litt was unusually good, Lucius didn't think it was a bad thing. On the contrary, the better their relationship was, the harder Orson would assist Litt after Litt became the heir to the Dukedom.

Your brother has taken on a lot of responsibilities for you, but there are always some roads you have to walk alone.

Yes, Litt.

Lucius looked at Litt silently and thought so in his heart.

Chapter 5: Count Karls deliberately picking a fight

The banquet was in full swing, however, a pair of eyes were fixed on Litt who was eating silently.

Count Carls, who had just been choked by Orson, was now staring at Litt.

As they were drinking, Orson noticed Count Carls. He was a little confused when he saw him looking in his direction but not saying anything.

Don't know what he is thinking.

Then Count Karls stood up and toasted Orson with a glass of wine.

"Mr. Orson, I toast you." As he said this, he drank the wine in the glass.

Before Orson could respond, Count Karls continued, "As everyone knows, the Stranik family is a family founded on martial arts, and Young Master Orson is the most famous young talent in the empire. He must have inherited the bravery of Lord Duke Lucius."

The words that Count Carls said when he stood up attracted the attention of everyone at the banquet, including Litt, who had been silently lowering his head. At this moment, he slowly stopped what he was doing.

"Master Litt is back today, and I am a little curious..." As he said this, Count Carls looked in Litt's direction with a sharp gaze.

"Master Lit, which excellent quality of Duke Lucius did you inherit?"

After the words were spoken, the field fell into silence.

The other nobles looked in the direction of Lit and Lucius curiously.

The Lucius couple sitting at the top looked somewhat helpless.

Mary looked at Carls with a little anger, but due to the occasion, she couldn't get angry.

Lit lowered his head and remained silent.

Orson, who was standing beside him, was somewhat surprised by Carls's remarks.

What does this Count Kars mean?

I managed to change the topic away from Leeteuk and make sure his first day home was as smooth as possible, trying not to irritate his self-esteem and turn him against his will.

As a result, the other party now brings the topic back to Leeteuk?

Are you deliberately looking for trouble?

Thinking of this, Orson couldn't help but prepare to stand up.

"Mr. Orson." Seeing Orson's actions, Carls hurriedly said, "I know that Mr. Lit has just returned home. You love this brother very much. However, excessive doting will not help a child grow up. Instead, it will make him stagnate."

"Is it because of this reason that you, Master Orson, 'love' Master Litt so much?" After Carls finished speaking, he deliberately showed a look of surprise.

"Oh, I'm really sorry. I accidentally said too much. Master Orson, I think you won't mind my harsh words, right?"

Orson frowned as he watched Carls behave like a villain.

He really wanted to kick the other person out directly, but first of all, the other person was invited by his father, and he couldn't offend his father.

On the other hand, the other party may be deliberately trying to provoke him.

You know, Lucius is still here, and he is the real master of the Stranic family.

If Orson ignored Lucius and got angry at Count Carls, how would everyone view Orson?

He has no respect for his elders and is arrogant because of his favor.

That's still good.

If people think that Orson is impatient for succession and wants to seize power after seeing Lit coming, then there will be big problems.

Therefore, at this time, we still have to leave things to Lucius.

Orson turned his head in the direction of Lucius, who was now thinking about something.

Then he raised his head and looked at Carls.

"Count Carls, as I recall, your family made their fortune in business in their early years, right?"

"That's true." Carls nodded. He was a little confused and didn't know why Lucius asked this question.

"So, you must have inherited the expertise of your elders and are good at business, right?" Lucius raised his eyebrows and said, "But why did the business activities in the territory decline in the financial report you handed me last month?"

"This..." Count Carls became a little nervous when he heard Lucius's words which sounded like ridicule and reproach.

"My Lord Duke, please listen to my explanation. There are many reasons for this result..."

"No need to explain." Lucius interrupted Count Carls. "According to what you said, Count Carls, shouldn't you be good at business?"

Seeing that the situation on the field was becoming tit-for-tat, other nobles began to speak up to ease the atmosphere.

"Your Excellency the Duke, Count Carls is also

"

"Yes, yes. After all, Mr. Li Te is your son and will inherit your position in the future."

"What Count Carls said makes sense. He has been in the countryside for so long that he has fallen far behind others in terms of education. If you continue to spoil him, I'm afraid he will be spoiled."

Orson listened to the nobles below talking to each other and clenched his fists in anger.

So you all just want the world to be in chaos?

It was the first day that Li Te joined the family, and he started talking about inheritance rights.

Are you afraid that others don't know that you, Duke Lucius, have two sons fighting for the throne?

Orson looked at Litt beside him. At this moment, he was looking down and keeping silent, and his hands had stopped moving.

Oh no, could it be that Leeteuk was instigated by this group of people and started to feel that everything he did before was fake?

Just as Orson was about to explain to Litt, Lucius stood up.

"Everyone, I invited you here today because you are my vassal and friends of Lucius."

"The family banquet is only held to celebrate the return of my long-lost son, Litt." Lucius said, looking at the nobles headed by Count Carls. "If you are not satisfied with the banquet food and drinks, you can leave. I don't care about it."

"But if you continue to bring up irrelevant matters, don't blame me, Lucius, for kicking you out!"

"As for the issue of Lit's education, please don't worry about it. I will naturally arrange the best teachers for Lit and work hard to train him to become someone who can compete for the right to inherit the Dukedom."

After saying this, Lucius sat down heavily.

At this moment, his aura suddenly changed from that of an easy-going lord to that of a majestic soldier.

Seeing that Lucius had spoken, the other nobles present could not say anything more.

"Okay, okay, today is a happy day, let's not make things unhappy." At this time, Mary next to Lucius also came out to adjust the atmosphere.

Lit sat on the chair. She didn't know why. Even though she didn't do anything, the topic still revolved around him.

As expected, don’t you all like yourself?

Thinking of this, his mood became depressed.

Regarding the matter of inheritance rights, Litt had no idea about it. After all, he had just entered the family and knew nothing about the ways of the nobility.

He didn't even know what his father's title of duke meant.

"Don't think too much." At this time, Orson said in his ear. "Just eat your meal in peace."

"Well, thank you, Brother Orson." Litt nodded.

This was the first sentence he said after he came to the table.

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 lot 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 first.

I will go upstairs and 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.
