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

"I'm sorry, but the laws of the empire are here." Elsa said expressionlessly, "There will always be new people who contribute to the empire. If everyone who contributes to the empire can enjoy this privilege for generations, and even will not be punished for making mistakes, the empire will only become more and more corrupt."

"Your Highness, I understand your concerns, but we also have our own ideas. I wonder if you can tell us whether this group of nobles is the last one you will deal with? Or, will you deal with your political enemies through the Imperial Court in the future?" Another earl also spoke up.

"I don't know." Elsa shook her head. "It all depends on whether the nobles have violated the laws of the empire. I have always insisted that the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. If you do your job honestly, you will naturally not have any trouble. But if you can't manage yourselves and violate the laws of the empire, don't blame me for being ruthless." After saying this, Elsa signaled the guards to clear the way for her and stopped answering other people's questions.

After Elsa left, the nobles present gathered together.

"Oh, the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people, bah!" A noble couldn't help but spit. "They are just talking in high-sounding words, but in fact they are just taking this opportunity to eliminate dissidents."

"Alas, it seems that this person is indeed unreliable. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince still protects our rights." said another noble.

"Well, now it seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess's behavior can only be described as crazy. Let's still support His Royal Highness the Prince." Many people agreed with this.

On the other hand, with only one day left before school started, Orson came to the dean's office in the afternoon.

"Orson, regarding the student you mentioned, we have discussed and concluded that if she is really as good as you said, we can set a precedent for her and give her the student number 1001, allowing her to enter as a first-year student. However, she must make up the courses in the first half of the semester with the new first-year students next year." Sitting at the desk, Luca looked at Orson and said.

"Anyway, if you can arrange for her to come, it would be best to bring her here for testing today, so that we can arrange for her to enter the academy directly when school starts tomorrow."

"Okay." Orson said gratefully. "Thank you very much, Dean Luca. I'll bring her here right away."

"Yeah." Luca nodded. "By the way, when the time comes, you can take her directly to the entrance test site. There will be someone in charge of the test."

"I understand." Orson said this, walked out of the office, and then returned to the hotel.

"Success." Orson walked into his room and spoke as he looked at Lena, who was rolling around on his bed out of boredom, and Litt, who was reading a book with his chin on his hand on the other side.

"Lena can go to school now?" Litt looked up at Orson, but there was no surprise in his tone.

She had seen how powerful Lena was before.

It was a true case of strength defeating skill. Even though Litt's current strength was much stronger than before he entered school, he still couldn't beat Lena when facing her.

In addition, Lena has a good learning ability. It would be strange if such a talent could not enter the Imperial Academy.

"Yes." Orson nodded, "Now all we need to do is to test it and let the school confirm Lena's strength."

"Eh? Test?" Lena also sat up from the bed at this time.

"Yes, it's actually pretty much the same as what I taught you that day. Lena, just listen to the tester and do all this."

"Okay~" Lena nodded, then put on her shoes and prepared to go to the Imperial Academy with Orson.

Orson brought Litt and Lena to the Imperial College entrance examination venue.

The examiner in charge of the test this time was actually a familiar face to Orson.

"Teacher Triss, long time no see. Are you in charge of this test?"

"Yeah." Triss nodded. "Originally, Hecatia was supposed to come, but she suddenly had something to do, so she let me take charge."

At this time, Triss also saw Lena next to Orson.

"Oh, this is the little girl, so cute~" Triss said, walked up to Lena, touched Lena's head, then reached out and pinched Lena's little face.

"Hmm..." Lena was obviously not used to Triss's somewhat intimate behavior.

Although she is a very outgoing person, Triss's behavior was too intimate.

But you can’t blame them.

After all, no matter who sees someone who is recognized by Orson, they will want to go up and get closer to him.

"Student Lena, I heard from Orson that you are very strong. Even among humans, you are at the top. So, teacher, I want to test your ability now."

You see, Lena hasn’t even started school yet, but Triss has already called Lena “classmate”.

"Okay... okay." Lena nodded after hearing that.

"Then please stand on the stage." Triss said, pointing to the performance stage behind her.

Lena stood on the stage as Triss said, and then Triss chanted a spell softly.

A powerful aura appeared out of nowhere.

A giant statue made of magic appeared in front of Lena.

"This colossus is approximately at level six to level seven in strength. Come on, classmate Lena, let me see your strength." At this time, Triss had already flown into the air.

Lena looked at the giant statue in front of her, which was more than three times taller than her, and instinctively felt a sense of fear in her heart.

Seeing Lena hesitating and not daring to attack, Triss frowned and then ordered the Colossus to take the initiative to attack.

Then, the colossus rushed towards Lena with tremendous force.

He threw a punch at Lena.

Lena watched the movements of the colossus in front of her. In her opinion, the colossus's movements were not fast, but if it was hit hard by it, it would definitely not be able to survive.

We must take action.

Thinking of this, Lena also threw a punch with all her strength.

Just like that, Lena's small fist collided with the Colossus' fist.

A moment later, the colossus disappeared into ashes.

"Huh?!" Triss and Litt, who were watching the fight, couldn't help but exclaim.

Only Orson remained calm.

If you look closely, you can even see a hint of dissatisfaction in Orson's eyes.

This is far from Lena's highest level.

"It seems that you are as good as Orson said, classmate Lena, welcome to the Imperial Academy..." After a long time, Triss recovered, fell from mid-air, and congratulated.

Chapter 41: Life Story

"Lena, we will go back and prepare your student card and other enrollment matters today. You will be able to enroll with Li Te tomorrow."

As Triss finished her words, Lena smiled happily.

"Great! This way I can be with my big brother."

Hearing Lena say such misleading words, Lit frowned.

Could it be that Lena is interested in Orson?

"We go to school together, and we can see many new and interesting things, hehe..."

Leeteuk's frown relaxed.

……

Afterwards, Lit took Lena back to the Star Hotel, while Orson stayed at the academy.

"Orson, what do you want to talk to me about?" Therese looked at Orson and asked.

Just when she was about to leave, Orson secretly winked at Triss, indicating that they had something to discuss later.

It just so happened that Tris also had something to ask Orson.

"Well, I'm mainly grateful to Teacher Triss for giving me the cloak." Orson said this, took it out of the storage ring and handed it back to Triss.

"I heard that the sandstorms in the desert have stopped. So, Orson, have you found what you wanted to know in the desert?" Triss took the cloak, looked at it for a few seconds, and then put it back.

"I guess so." Orson nodded. "I witnessed the history of the orcs' narrative and learned from their perspective how they view humans."

"I'm glad you got something." Triss said with satisfaction.

"However, I encountered another incident in the desert that I don't quite understand. I hope you can help me understand it."

"Oh? Orson, what do you think?"

"Teacher Triss, have you ever heard of the name Paradis?"

"..." When Triss heard Orson mention this name, she was stunned for a moment and then frowned.

"Who told you this name? Or where did you hear it?"

"Teacher, what is the meaning of this name?"

"Paradis, the second son of the ancient demon god, is also the culprit who caused the demons to invade the continent. At least in the records of us witches, this name is a taboo that cannot be mentioned. His name is not mentioned in the history books of the continent, only the invasion of the demons is mentioned, so it is normal that you don't know this name."

"Now, Orson, tell me, where did you learn the name Paradis?"

"...The Temple of Limusa." Orson said.

"In the Limusa Temple, there is an epic written in the language of the ancient continent, which mentions this name. I have never seen this name in human books, so I asked you."

Although Orson was a little panicked at the moment, he still pretended to be calm and made up a lie.

After all, Limusa called him the son of Paradis at that time.

But it is obvious that Paradis, as an ancient figure, had died long ago. He said that he was the son of Paradis, which should mean that he found the blood of the devil in himself.

Coupled with what happened in the underground maze of the temple at that time, Orson now believes more and more that the demonic power that appeared at the end of his life in the original book was not the result of transforming his body like Mudrick, but his existing bloodline.

In this way, it would be even more impossible for him to tell Therese that he had met Limusa at that time.

After all, demons are creatures that the Empire has clearly ordered to be killed immediately upon their appearance. No matter how powerful Orson is, he is not strong enough to force the Empire to change the laws for him.

"There..." Triss didn't doubt what Orson said.

After all, the Temple of Limosa can be considered an ancient building, so it is not impossible that there are records about Paradis on it.

"In short, Paradis is not a good person. Whether from your human perspective or from our witch perspective, you don't need to care too much about this person. After all, in the current empire, the influence of demons is almost non-existent."

The reason why we dare not say that it does not exist at all is, of course, because of the Mudrick incident not long ago.

"I understand, teacher." Orson nodded. "But, from what you said, it seems that the witch has a lot of records about the ancient times?"

"Yes, but our books are mainly copied from the elves. Orson, if you want to learn about books from ancient times, if you have the connections, it's best to go directly to the elves' library. Once you've been there, you'll know that the so-called Imperial Library is just a small study compared to that."

"If there's a chance." Orson said this with a smile.

……

At night, Orson lay in his bed.

He couldn't sleep.

There have been so many things going on recently.

Whether it is Lena's admission, Chelinina's business war strategy, or Elsa's political struggle.

Orson usually has three things to do in a day.

Fortunately, Lena should not need my help after she enters school. After Chelinina gains the upper hand in the business war, with her abilities, she will be able to slowly erode the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce.

Even Elsa, after I gave her this advice, she probably wouldn't come to me again for a while.

But now there is another issue: my own background.

To be honest, although Orson had some guesses about his life experience, he never thought that he would have anything to do with the devil.

But it seems that this is the only way to explain why my talent seems to be cheating.

In this era, bloodline is a very mysterious thing, but also a very important thing.

It is undeniable that children of aristocrats are indeed more talented than children of commoners. Although there are some individual cases, these individual cases cannot prove anything in the face of the huge trend.

Orson originally thought that he was an exception among the common people, but unexpectedly, he still benefited from his bloodline.

Now there are two choices before Orson.

Should I investigate my own background?

To be fair, if the most rational and most beneficial approach is to do so based on current knowledge, it would obviously be to not pursue the issue of one's own background and to allow oneself to live peacefully as a human being.

Anyway, taking Litt, whom he had cultivated with great effort, if Orson decided to quit, he would still be a rich man with Litt.

However, no one knows whether Orson's bloodline will explode like a time bomb at some point, dragging Orson and everyone around him down with him.

Orson was in a dilemma.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Orson got off the bed and came to the door.

After opening the door, Orson was stunned when he saw the graceful girl standing at the door.

"Can you let me in, Orson?"
