As he said this, he recounted to Olivia all his experiences in the desert and his encounter with Lena.

After hearing this, Olivia expressed her understanding, but Lianka still looked skeptical.

"Orson, are you sure that nothing really happened between you and Lena, a single man and a single woman in that desert environment?"

Looking at Lianka with a suspicious expression, Orson sighed.

Your sister Olivia didn't say anything, why are you worrying about it?

Besides, nothing really happened between Lena and me.

At this time, Olivia said to Lianka: "By the way, Lianka, I suddenly remembered that I left something at a chamber of commerce. Can you help me get it? Thank you."

Hearing Olivia's words that were obviously meant to drive her away, Lianka didn't say much. She asked for the address of the Chamber of Commerce and left.

At this moment, Orson and Olivia were the only two people left in the room.

"Orson, is there really nothing happening between you two?" At this time, Olivia suddenly put her arms around Orson's neck. The two were so close that they could feel each other's breath.

"Nothing... nothing happened." Orson said this with a slightly red face.

He was about to turn his head away, but Olivia forced him to straighten up again and look at her.

"I'm not talking about you and Lena, it's the other one."

Chapter 39: The cat cries over the rat

Orson was stunned when he suddenly heard Olivia say this.

Are you talking about yourself and Chelinina?

"Olivia, you mean...between me and Chelinina?"

"Since you know, then don't hide it." Olivia spoke unexpectedly with a tough tone, no longer following Orson's wishes as usual.

Orson was silent.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and finally Olivia sighed.

"Let me put it another way, Orson."

"Did you know that Chelinina likes you?"

"...I know." Orson nodded. "Because I helped her before, she has some feelings towards me..."

When Olivia heard this answer, it was in line with her expectations.

Then she asked, "What about you, Orson? You know that Chelinina likes you, so what do you think of Chelinina?"

Orson was silent again.

Olivia sighed, then buried her head in Orson's chest.

Feeling Orson's gradually accelerating heartbeat, Olivia reached out her hand to Orson's waist and squeezed it hard.

"Hiss..." Orson took a breath.

"It's my problem that I can't control men. Maybe it's because I'm not good enough." There was a hint of self-blame in Olivia's tone, but at the same time it also gave Orson a soothing tone.

Some things should not be brought out so clearly, otherwise it will only damage the relationship between two people.

Just keep it tacit.

What's more, it is understandable that other vixens would set their eyes on such an outstanding man like Orson.

What's more, Chelinina is not just a little vixen, she is very capable and helps Orson just as much as she does.

Maybe Orson also felt that he owed her something.

But having said that, who can tolerate seeing their man being dazzled by another woman?

"Please give me your guidance in the days to come, my fiancé, Orson~" Olivia said, whispering in Orson's ear.

Olivia put extra emphasis on the word "fiancé".

"Well, please...give me more advice." Orson said this and nodded.

"Also, I'm sorry..."

"Is it all you can say, sorry?" Olivia's anger, which had just been suppressed, rose again.

Then, she felt herself being held in Orson's arms.

Then Orson kissed her.

She stared at Orson in front of her with wide eyes in disbelief.

She never thought that Orson would be so proactive.

Her eyes also became blurred at this moment.

At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly opened.

"Sister, the Chamber of Commerce you told me about, they don't have your stuff?"

Lianka stood at the door of the room and looked at Olivia with a puzzled look.

Almost instantly, Orson and Olivia returned to their seats, and except that they were a little closer, they were exactly the same as when Lianka had just left the room.

"Ahem, then, then I must have remembered it wrong." Olivia said this and sighed.

"Well, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first..." At this moment, Orson also stood up, with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"Yeah." Olivia nodded with a blushing face.

She didn't want Orson to think that she was a petty woman, but she also didn't want to suffer in vain.

Orson's behavior just now barely made up for some of her inner dissatisfaction.

Lianka looked at Orson curiously, and didn't turn her attention back to Olivia until he left the room.

"Sister, is Orson feeling unwell?"

"Eh? Lianka, why would you say that?"

"When I saw Orson leaving just now, he seemed to be bending over..."

“…” Olivia’s face turned redder when she heard Lianka’s words.

Not knowing whether Lianka did it on purpose, Olivia didn't want to answer this question anymore.

……

After walking to the corridor to get some fresh air and calming down completely, Orson returned to his room downstairs.

It was almost time for dinner, and the person responsible for serving the food changed from the original chef to the elf lady at the front desk.

"Um, Mr. Orson, could you please give me... ahem, just, an autograph?" Standing at the door, after delivering the meal, Miss Elf spoke shyly to Orson.

"But I remember I signed both of your ears..."

Looking at his extremely fanatical fan in front of him, Orson reluctantly took the pen from the other's hand.

"So now I can only sign in a more important place..." As she said this, the elf lady lifted up her skirt again.

"Didn't I tell you that's not allowed?" Orson quickly stopped the other party's behavior.

"Hey? Why is this happening..." Miss Elf said dejectedly.

I originally thought that if I collected two autographs, I would be able to have Master Orson sign on my thigh, but now it seems I need to work harder.

Orson took the pen, thought for a moment, and signed his name on the bow tie of Miss Elf's clothes.

"I don't quite understand this kind of signing behavior..." Orson said this and sighed.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Orson, but for us fans who have always supported you, your autograph is our motivation to move forward!" Miss Elf said this, bowed to Orson in gratitude, then turned and left to deliver the rest of the meal.

"Oh." Orson turned and went into the room, shaking his head.

He felt that he was totally unworthy of being worshipped, or rather, he felt that he was not worthy of being worshipped.

A war criminal who committed genocide, a two-timing scumbag, a scum who took advantage of his family, if all these things were exposed, he would definitely be infamous, right?

"Orson, is it that elf lady again?" Litt asked curiously when he saw Orson's sad face.

"Well, as a fan, she is a little too enthusiastic." Having said this, he sighed.

"Are there many people who admire Big Brother?"

"Yeah." Orson nodded. "There are a lot of people who admire me, but to be honest, I don't know what they like about me."

After dinner, Orson asked Litt to look after Lena while he went out to do some work.

The place for this service was a restaurant on the street closest to the palace.

In the box, Orson looked at Elsa who was sitting opposite him.

"Orson, I did what you said to me." Elsa said this and took out a note and handed it to Orson.

"The above are all the forces they are involved in. I have told you before that the nobles are intertwined and interdependent. If we decide to take action against these people, the counterattack we will encounter will be unprecedented, and it may even trigger a civil war within the empire."

"Then, Elsa-sama, do you think that if we let them go like this, will the Empire be better off?"

"I don't know." Elsa shook her head.

"Your Highness, do you still think that as long as you do nothing, you will not do anything wrong?" Orson said this, as if he could see through Elsa's heart.

"The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. Your Highness, if you don't do something, the general environment will force you to do it. Do you want the political environment of the empire to remain calm like this?"

"Your Highness, don't forget that you are currently at a disadvantage in the battle for succession. If nothing major happens to the empire, more nobles will choose to support His Highness Arthas instead of you. If you want to gain an advantage, you must take this opportunity to disrupt the empire. Only by suppressing the nobles that originally belonged to His Highness Arthas in the name of anti-corruption can you rise."

"Go ahead, Your Highness Elsa. It's not what a ruler should do to always seek perfection. What you should do is to play the role of a newcomer and a reformer. Set a good example, and supporters will naturally come to you."

"I understand." Hearing Orson say this, Elsa nodded, and a hint of decisiveness appeared in her eyes.

"Orson, thank you."

"It's okay, Princess. After all, we are on the same front."

"By the way, I have one more thing I want to ask Your Highness the Princess." Orson suddenly remembered something.

"Your Highness, since you trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I might turn against you and join His Highness Arthas's camp?"

"If you were that kind of person, Orson, you wouldn't give up your right to inherit the Dukedom of Antica, right?" Elsa smiled when she heard Orson say that.

"Orson, what you are eyeing is something more important, and that kind of thing, Brother Arthas cannot give you, right?"

Hearing Elsa's words, Orson certainly knew what she meant, and he nodded.

"probably."

"In short, it's a pleasure to work with you."

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with you."

The next morning, the Imperial Court held a large-scale trial, in which the nobles who had committed war crimes in the Duchy of Antica were sentenced to death or exile, depending on the extent of their corruption.

Arthas sat next to Elsa on the jury composed of royal members.

"Elsa, is this your decision?" He frowned. "Executing so many nobles at once, even if they are really guilty, is it too radical?"

The reason why Arthas questioned it was because of his conservative character.

In his opinion, these nobles have made an indelible contribution to the empire's current glory and the royal family's long-lasting prosperity.

Even though Elsa is her rival, she also represents the royal family after all.

This time, the royal family changed its style of respecting the nobility. The punishment in the court was so severe that it would obviously damage the relationship between the royal family and the nobility.

It will make other nobles think: Since you treated them like this this time, will you frame us next time?

However, by doing this, Elsa has completely ruined her political career.

The concern shown by Arthas was completely false sympathy.

As long as he vindicates those nobles after coming to power and puts all the blame on Elsa, the relationship between the royal family and the nobles will be restored.

Chapter 40: Welcome to the Imperial College

After the trial of the Imperial Court ended, many nobles surrounded Elsa, hoping to get an explanation from her.

"Your Highness, I heard that you are in charge of this case. Do you have to judge them so harshly? You know, as nobles, even if they have committed serious mistakes, their ancestors have made contributions to the empire after all. It's not good to let the heroes have no descendants like this, right?" An earl stopped Elsa and questioned.

He was a vassal of the Duchy of Naples. One of the nobles in charge of the trial this time was his relative, and the two families had a very good relationship. Now his married sister was also going to be implicated because of this. How could he accept this?
