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

"To be honest, I used to work for Master Orson." Zenit said. "Not only that, I am also Master Orson's confidant and have gained his trust."

"Oh? If that's the case, why did you betray Orson and choose to cooperate with me?" Giovanni raised his eyebrows. "If you can't give a suitable answer, you may not be able to leave this room today."

As he said this, Zenit could clearly feel the atmosphere in the room suddenly change.

It is obvious that there is a strong man who is secretly following and protecting Giovanni's personal safety, and the reason why Giovanni dares to say this is because this strong man is backing him up.

"Because I feel that Orson can't provide me with what I want." Zenit said this and shook his head. "As the saying goes, kindness cannot command an army, and goodness cannot hold power. Although Mr. Orson seems to be strong and capable to outsiders, he actually has a fatal flaw."

"Oh?" Giovanni became interested after hearing that.

How could a perfect person like Orson be considered to have flaws by others?

"What do you think?"

"Mr. Orson's cruelty is only towards his enemies. Once you are considered an ally by Mr. Orson, you will be given unlimited trust."

"It's a very simple truth. Trust the people you employ, and don't employ people you don't trust." Giovanni was a little confused.

If this was the only answer Zenit gave him, he would take action.

The reason why he acted according to the information given by Zenit was because even if the information was false, it would not harm him in the slightest.

And if Zenit was a spy planted by Orson around him, Giovanni obviously could not accept it.

"But he trusts Lit too much." Zenit said, "To him, Lit and he have no blood relationship, and they are in absolute competition for the succession to the Dukedom."

"But, for some reason, Mr. Orson has been taking care of Li Te since Li Te came into the family."

"Even more, Your Excellency, guess why Duke Lucius clearly stated in his will that Lit is his heir?"

"It's obvious that he trusts Leeteuk to the point where he doesn't mind handing over all the power to him."

"Is it possible that he is planning to sideline Litt and use Litt's trust in him to become the behind-the-scenes ruler of the Duchy?" Giovanni asked doubtfully.

"If that's the case, it's understandable. But, just a month ago, Master Orson said that he wouldn't need me anymore and told me to listen to Master Leete's orders directly."

"And I personally think that Master Lit's ability is not as good as yours, Duke Giovanni."

"Heh." Giovanni sneered upon hearing this. "I see, it turns out that Orson has this unknown side."

"In that case, you should stay in the Dukedom of Antica and serve as Haolit's subordinate for the time being. We will keep in touch through secret letters when the time comes."

"Okay, thank you, Your Excellency the Duke." Zenit nodded after hearing this.

Then he respectfully left the room.

After Zenit left, another person quietly appeared in the room.

The room was dark at this moment, with only moonlight coming in from the window.

"Duke Giovanni, I don't think this Zenit can be trusted. He is very likely an insider of Orson's."

"I know." Giovanni nodded, then he walked to the window and looked out.

"But if we let

What if Sen thinks I trust him? "

"Your Excellency the Duke, do you mean to use a trick to defeat the opponent?"

"Ah."

"By the way, after Jero led the team back to the Dukedom, he didn't say anything extra, right?"

"No, his family is all in our hands. If he dares to say anything unnecessary, he knows what will happen to him. With his personality and character, he can't do such a thing, and he doesn't dare to do such a thing."

"That's good." Giovanni was relieved after hearing this.

Chapter 32: Not a sister, but a brother

On the other side, Orson was standing at the door seeing off guests.

The first to leave were a group of nobles led by Duke Giovanni who had average or even some grudges against Lucius. Then came a group of nobles led by Duke Lucia and Duke Aragon who had some friendship with Lucius, but not a deep one.

Those who left last were mostly nobles who had a good relationship with Lucius or Orson.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work." Orson stood at the door, looked at Odysseus who was walking over, and spoke respectfully.

"I'm fine, but Duke Lucius, you must take good care of his health. After all, no one wants to go through this kind of thing."

"Okay, I'll follow your majesty's instructions." Orson said this, and then asked, "By the way, your majesty, I wonder why Her Royal Highness the Princess and His Royal Highness the Prince were unable to come with you this time?"

"They, they have their own things to do." Odysseus smiled. "Elsa is in charge of judging the nobles who failed in their duties in the imperial city. As for Arthas, after this war, he excitedly organized a group of people to start mapping the entire empire."

"Really?" Orson nodded. "Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Princess and the Prince are both capable of serving as your right-hand men."

"Not bad." His Majesty the Emperor was not very happy to hear Orson's flattery.

"Speaking of which, Orson, do you hate Lucius for not making you his heir?"

"No, Your Majesty, the succession is my father's decision, and I completely follow his ideas."

"In that case, are you interested in serving the royal family?" Odysseus suddenly asked.

"This..." Orson was stunned when he heard this.

"Haha, it's okay, I was just joking, but if you really want to serve the royal family, Orson, I will definitely welcome you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I think good news will be delivered to Saint Laurent City soon."

"In that case, I'll be waiting for your good news." Odysseus said this, patted Orson's shoulder, and then left.

Orson hadn't stood there for long when William came up.

"Mr. Orson, you don't have to worry too much about inheritance. Olivia and I have already confirmed the engagement. Even if you are not the heir to the Dukedom, we will still carry out the engagement normally." William consoled.

"Duke William, you worry too much. I don't mind this matter that much."

"That's the best. Anyway, you shouldn't hate your father too much. Although his actions are a little unfair to you..."

Seeing William's peacemaking attitude, Orson nodded reluctantly.

"Well, it's almost time. We should set off back to the Dukedom."

At this time, William turned his back.

"What about you two? If you have anything to say to Orson, say it as soon as possible."

"Um... Orson, see you next semester." Lianka walked out first and said with a blushing face.

"Well, see you next semester." Orson responded with a smile.

"O~Sen~" At this time, Olivia walked around behind Orson and whispered softly in his ear: "When you came in just now, I hope you can confess to me about the little girl you brought in after school starts~"

As she said this, she smiled and distanced herself from Orson. Without waiting for Orson's reply, she pushed William and Lianka away.

After seeing off group after group of guests, the last guest came to Orson.

"Chelinina, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you today." Orson said awkwardly.

"It's okay. I'm not surprised by anything that happens in aristocratic families." Chelinina shook her head. "But you, Orson, now that it's confirmed that you are not the heir to the Duke, what are you going to do next?"

"Me? Let's take it one step at a time. Now I need to finish my studies first, and then think about my future."

"Oh? Orson, do you really think so?"

"Yeah." Orson nodded.

"..." Chelinina stared at Orson for a while, and when she saw that there was no change in the expression on Orson's face, she sighed.

"Oh, forget it." Chelinina continued, "Orson, do you remember what I said to you when the Imperial City party ended that day?"

"Uh..." Orson was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he really couldn't remember.

"Alas, I forgot it as soon as I saw it." Chelinina said helplessly, but there was no anger in her tone. "That day, before I said goodbye to you, I said that if I really had to choose a duke as my backer, I would choose your family. When the time comes, please don't despise me."

"I think we should change our identities now." Chelinina said this with a smile. "When I was most desperate, you showed up and helped me, so if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me."

"At worst, I will reserve a position of chief consultant for you." Chelinina said with a smile, then stretched out her finger and gently poked Orson's chest.

"I saw everything you did with your fiancée just now. Don't forget about me, or I might get angry and do something irrational."

"Don't worry, I won't." Orson said.

"Hehe, that's good~" Chelinina said this, waved to Orson with a smile, and then left the Duke's Mansion.

Only after all outsiders had left did Orson turn around and walk into the house.

At this moment, two people were confronting each other in the living room.

After everyone left, Li Te realized that there was another unfamiliar person in the house.

Then she remembered that when Orson came back before, a mysterious man in a cloak followed him.

Just when Litt was about to approach Lena and ask about her identity, Lena's cloak slipped off by itself, revealing Lena's face and a pair of huge fox ears on her head.

Leeteuk was stunned.

Orcs!?

What did my brother bring back from the desert?

Then, the two of them just stared at each other until Orson walked into the room.

"Um..." Lit was the first to react. She turned her head and looked at Orson.

"Orson, who is this?"

"Ah, this is Lena, a friend I met in the desert." Orson said.

Then, Lena walked directly to Orson.

"Big brother, who is this sister?"

"Uh..." Orson was stunned.

"That..." Litt was also stunned when he heard Lena say that.

"She's not a sister, she's a brother." Orson was the first to react and then explained.

"Eh? Such a beautiful sister is actually a boy?" Lena said this, blinking her big eyes and looking at Litt curiously.

Chapter 3: Take a good rest (K)

A few minutes later, the servants had already started tidying up the room downstairs.

In Orson's room.

Lena looked around, wondering if she could make an exclamation.

"Wow, big brother, your house is so beautiful. What is this? A bed? Can I sleep on it?"

Seeing Lena suddenly become lively, Litt took the opportunity to pull Orson aside.

"Orson, who is this guy?" Litt whispered in Orson's ear. In addition to the questioning tone, there was also a hint of jealousy in his words.

His brother went to the desert and brought back a new girl, who was a half-orc.

Could it be that Orson actually has that kind of fetish?

But when we were in the Imperial City before, I didn't see Orson showing any unusual feelings towards Shi? Could it be that at that time, Shi was someone else's employee?

"It's a long story. I'll explain it to you slowly after this happens." Orson said this, and then took the initiative to walk to Lena.

"Well, Lena, let's formally introduce ourselves now." Having said that, Orson took the initiative to introduce himself.

"As you can see, I, Orson, am the son of Lucius, Duke of Antica in the Human Empire." After saying that, he pointed to Litt standing beside him.

"And Lit next to me is also the Duke's son, so he is my younger brother."

"Oh~" Lena nodded after hearing that.

Lena also saw what happened at the banquet today.

It was probably about some problems in the eldest brother’s family, and a bad woman wanted to divide up the eldest brother’s property, but fortunately the eldest brother appeared in time and saved the day.

"Brother Li Te, nice to meet you. I'm Lena. I'm sorry that I mistook you for my sister just now, but you're really beautiful."

Hearing how well Lena spoke, Litt's dissatisfaction with Lena gradually faded a little.

"Lena, I want to tell Litt about what happened in the desert, is that okay?" Orson said, looking at Lena.
