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

After all, he and Lena were the ones who experienced some of the things in the desert together, so asking her about it was only out of courtesy.

"Sure!" Lena agreed without hesitation.

Anyway, in her opinion, these things don't matter.

Afterwards, Orson truthfully recounted to Litt his experience of using the magic cloak given by Triss to enter the desert, help the orc tribe, enter the Temple of Limusa, and find the secret of the desert sand in the temple.

When talking about entering the underground temple and encountering powerful opponents, Litt's heart couldn't help but tighten.

After all, it was his brother who was in danger.

"That bad guy was so powerful back then!" At this time, Lena also added fuel to the fire.

"Brother Li Te, you may not know that my elder brother was beaten by that bad guy at the beginning and he had no power to fight back. Later, I took the Heart of Ten Thousand Beasts and prepared to help my elder brother, but that guy knocked me out."

"It was also thanks to him shifting his attention to Lena that I had the opportunity to take action. I took advantage of his weakness and barely defeated him." Orson said this and sighed.

"Afterwards, it seemed that because the Heart of All Beasts was taken out of the Limusa Temple, the divine power gradually dissipated, and eventually the sandstorms that protected the orcs also stopped."

"So that's how it is." Upon hearing that, Li Te relaxed.

There was only gratitude in the look he gave Lena.

Although she could tell that Orson's words were somewhat concealing and the real reason might be more complicated, a very clear message could be drawn from their words.

That is, Lena really helped Orson.

This alone made Litt's dissatisfaction with Lena disappear for the most part.

As for the remaining half, it depends on Lena's feelings towards Orson.

If Lena just regarded Orson as an older brother, then the two of them could naturally get along harmoniously.

And if Lena had feelings for Orson that went beyond friendship...

But now it seems that with Lena's intelligence, she may not know what love is. She is in a stage where she is curious about everything.

"If I had known that you were going to the desert to do such a dangerous thing, Orson, I would have stopped you..." Litt said this, sighed and complained.

"I can't help it. There are some things that only I can do. If you do it, I will be the one who will be worried."

It was already past midnight and it was getting late, so Orson quickly found Vivian and asked her to take Lena to a guest room and familiarize Lena with the home. Afterwards, only Orson and Litt were left in the room.

"Orson." Litt spoke first.

"That Lena, should she have helped you more than that? I felt like you were hiding something just now. As soon as Lena started talking, you immediately continued what she was saying, as if you were giving Lena a hint."

"When did you become so perceptive?" Orson said this and touched Litt's head with a smile.

"You guessed right. I did hide some things. I plan to let you know only about them."

"Lite." At this time, Orson walked to the window and looked at the moon hanging in the sky.

"Do you think there are really gods in our world?"

"There should be some, otherwise, the disappearance of the Heart of Ten Thousand Beasts was accompanied by the retreat of the wind and sand. Is it possible for such a thing to happen by such a coincidence?"

"I think so too." Orson nodded. "So, Lit, do you think there are other divine things on the continent?"

"Divinity?" Lit hesitated after hearing this, and then she shook her head. "Sorry, Orson, I don't know about what you are talking about yet... But if Limusa's relics can still be passed down to this day, other gods should also have their own relics in the world, right?"

"By the way, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you." Orson said this and turned his head to stare at Litt.

"I have concealed something about Lena. Please don't tell Lena."

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Litt nodded seriously.

"The reason why I brought Lena back is not only because she helped me, but there is another very important reason."

"Lena, she has merged with the Heart of All Beasts."

After Orson finished speaking, Litt's expression froze for a moment, and then turned into shock.

"She, the item that has been integrated with divinity?"

"Yeah." Orson nodded. "When she was about to help me, she was pierced through the chest. I thought she was dead at the time, but I didn't expect that under the influence of the Heart of God, Lena came back to life and became even stronger."

"I'm afraid her power is now even greater than the demonized Mudrick we met last time in Saint Laurent City. I will teach her how to control her power when I return in the next few days."

After hearing what Orson said, Litt felt mixed emotions.

It turns out that Lena had already died once for Orson?

Even if they are servants of a noble family, they may not be able to rush forward without hesitation to block the knife for their master when their master is in danger, right?

But I have to say, Lena's luck is really good. She can actually merge with the Heart of All Beasts.

"So, the current Lena is actually more like a demigod?" Litt said subconsciously.

"Yeah." Orson raised his eyebrows when he heard what Litt said.

"That's how I was thinking of describing Lena's current state. You're right, Lit. She really does look like a demigod."

"That means..."

"Yeah." Orson nodded. "If we can make Lena our friend, we will have an extra high-end combat force, maybe even comparable to the ninth level."

Hearing the word ninth level, Li Te pointed outside the door in surprise.

"Nine... Ninth level?"

"This is just my estimation. In fact, it will take Lena a long time of practice to reach the ninth level." Orson sighed.

"In short, during this period of time, you should spend more time with Lena and get along well with her. Even if she is an ordinary person, she is still your brother's savior."

"I understand." Li Te said and nodded.

Then she walked forward gently, put her arms around Orson's waist, buried her face in his chest, and listened carefully to Orson's heartbeat.

"Leet, why are you suddenly..."

"It's okay, I just haven't hugged you, Orson, for a long time..." Litt said this, and there seemed to be a hint of resentment in his tone.

"Besides, Orson, you brought a new woman with you when you came back. She's the one who saved your life. I can't chase her away, nor can I keep her. It makes me feel so conflicted."

"You always make me so confused that I can't help but give up thinking, Orson."

Looking at Litt who was leaning on his chest and whispering, Orson could only helplessly let him hold him, and then said: "Litt, we are brother and sister, this is not feasible, and I have a fiancée..."

What's more, there is a Chelinina...

In short, Orson dared not bear any more moral burden.

"Orson, how did our relationship as brother and sister come about?"

"It was all because of an accident. If it weren't for this accident, we wouldn't be brother and sister at all."

"But if it weren't for this accident, I might not have known you at all." Orson said.

"…I'm sorry, it's just like what you said, Orson. I shouldn't complain like this." Lit said this and let go of the hand that was holding Orson.

"That means, if Orson and I are no longer nominally siblings, the obstacles that prevent us from being together will also be gone, right?"

“…In principle, that’s correct.”

"Then I know." Li Te said, and walked slowly to the door of the room.

"Orson, I will try my best. Before that, you have to wait for me, otherwise~" Litt said this with a wicked smile, then opened the door and walked out.

"I don't know what direction this girl wants to work towards." After Litt left, Orson sighed helplessly, then fell on his bed on his back.

I am really too tired these days.

Take a good rest...

Chapter 34: Nostalgia

The next morning, Orson came to Lucius's room.

Lucius was sitting at the desk at this moment. When Orson walked into the room, he did not look back, but looked at the letters sent from the front line on the table.

Starting from last night, the battle reports from the front line were no longer sent to Litt's room, but were sent directly to Lucius' room.

"Father, I forgot to tell you last night that the sandstorms in the desert will no longer occur, so I ordered the army to move forward. Do you have any questions about this?"

"No." Lucius shook his head. "Since it's you who made the decision, Orson, of course I trust you."

As he said this, he pointed to the battle report on the table.

"You still have 100,000 troops on the front line. Where do you get the money to support these troops?"

It was not unreasonable for Lucius to ask this. After all, Mary was in charge of all financial issues before. During the period when Lucius was not in charge, the financial power was gradually transferred from Mary to Leet.

As a general, Lucius was well aware of the principle that food and fodder must be sent before the army moves. Such a large army would require a lot of financial resources to maintain even if it did not move.

"The expenses of this army are mainly confiscated from the homes of the nobles involved, as well as donations from local merchants."

"Local businessman?" Lucius frowned upon hearing this.

"Who did you ask for help, Orson?"

"It's mainly the president of the Chelinina Chamber of Commerce. Her family contributes about 30% of the army's expenses."

"Incredible." When Lucius heard this, he didn't know whether he was surprised or appreciative.

"This girl is incredible. Without her father's help, she has become even more powerful. Now she is helping our family so much. I don't know how to repay her kindness."

"You can rest assured about this, father."

"President Chelinina is interested in the development prospects of the Dukedom of Antica. If we quickly solve the problem of the orcs, we can expand the land into the desert, and at the same time the biggest factor threatening Antica's economic development will disappear."

"As long as the Dukedom of Antica is stable, it will also be beneficial to Celinina's business."

"That's true." Lucius agreed. "But after all, they have helped us so much, we should give them something in return, right?"

"Yeah." Orson nodded.

"Orson, what do you think about letting Lit marry Chelinina?"

"After all, they are so kind to our family, we should show some appreciation"

"Uh...Father, this..." Orson was stunned when he heard Lucius say this.

Lucius didn't know that Lit was a girl, but Orson knew.

These two's engagement was destined to be fruitless.

But what should Orson say?

What's more, after what kind of relationship happened, Orson would not agree even if Lit was a boy.

"Um, father..." After hesitating for a moment, Orson finally spoke.

"what happened?"

"It's just... I think this kind of thing still depends on both parties. If both parties are interested in each other, I think it's okay, but if not, I think it's better to forget it."

Orson said this because he was sure that Lit and Chelinina couldn't be interested in each other.

Because both of their pointers pointed to Orson.

"Why do I feel that you, Orson, are quite reluctant?" Lucius said, looking at Orson with a smile.

"Is it because you like Chelinina? Or is Chelinina interested in you? After all, she can help our family, I think someone must have played a role in it."

"Father, please stop laughing at me."

"Alright, alright, let's stop here. I was just joking. Chelinina opposed her father in order to escape marriage. How could I possibly give her an engagement?"

Lucius said this and sighed.

"Speaking of which, Orson, what do you think of your engagement? What do you think of Olivia?"

"She's great, I have no complaints," Orson said.

"That's fine. After all, this engagement was signed against your will. If I can make you feel less disgusted, I, as your father, will feel relieved." He smiled and then stood up.

"Come for a walk with me, Orson."

"Yeah." Orson nodded, then followed Lucius.

The two men walked out of the Duke's mansion and found a grave that had been quietly erected in the woods not far away.

Mary's name is engraved on it.
