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

It was the best he could do to speak without his voice trembling.

"I understand." Giovanni said, took the coffee, blew it on his lips, and pretended to drink it.

Donny watched Giovanni's every move and almost popped his eyes out.

At this moment, Giovanni seemed to suddenly remember something and put down the coffee.

"By the way, Donny, did you put sugar in this cup of coffee?"

"Ah...I think there should be some."

"I don't smell it. Bring it down and give me some more."

"Well, how about you take a sip first and see if it tastes good?" Donnie said softly.

"..." Giovanni was silent. He raised his head and stared at Donny.

That look was as if he could see right through what Donnie was thinking.

"Donny, tell me the truth." After looking at each other for a while, Giovanni spoke.

"What?" Donnie asked confused.

"Did you really want me to drink this cup of coffee just now?"

"Father, what do you mean by this?" Donny was completely panicked. Could it be that Giovanni saw something from his actions?

"Did you poison the coffee?!" At this time, Giovanni slammed the table and stood up.

"Father...Father, why...why are you saying that?" Donnie was so frightened that he took two steps back, leaned against the door, and stared at Giovanni in panic.

"Don't you know why I say that?!" Giovanni walked over the desk and took the cup of coffee.

"If this cup of coffee is not poisonous, come on, drink it!" He handed the coffee directly to Donnie.

There was no way that Donny could hold the cup of coffee, and the quilt fell directly to the ground, turning into crumbs.

"What? You can't even hold a cup of coffee? And you still want to take my place?"

The scene before him was something Zenit had never told Donny about, but it was indeed the situation Donny had faced the most.

Once my father gets angry, I feel like a child who can't resist him, even though I am an adult now and have the strength to resist my father.

"I'm... I'm sorry, Father. I let you down..." Donnie's body was shaking. He lowered his head and kept apologizing.

"I...I didn't mean it. Someone just told me so, so I..."

"Is that why? You think everything you did was right?" Giovanni stared at Donny with wide eyes, stretched out his hand and slapped him directly.

The crisp sound echoed in the study.

"I thought you were getting better, but you're still like this. You're still a child in front of me, a useless piece of shit, no matter how I teach you!" Giovanni went back to his desk angrily.

"I know where you have been running these days. I have already sent people to get rid of the man who helped you behind your back. From now on, you can't trust anyone." Giovanni said with his hands behind his back.

Donnie was in shock at this time.

It turns out that Giovanni already knew about Mr. Zenit's affairs.

"I can tolerate your being bewildered for a while, but you have to remember that we are in the same boat. Even if I die, you will still not have a good ending. Do you think that the royal family will not bring up the past accounts of what you did for me after I die?"

"In this era, only fists are the hard truth." Giovanni said this as a warning to his children.

"If there is a next time, I will not care about the blood relationship between you and me."

"Go away." Giovanni said this last sentence, and then Donny fled from the study.

Chapter 77: It’s actually him?

Donnie returned to his room in a daze.

From childhood to adulthood, he has always lived under the shadow of Giovanni. He has to do whatever Giovanni asks him to do, otherwise he will be beaten and scolded.

If you listen to your father, you will be rewarded and become the most dazzling person among your peers. But if you don’t listen to your father, you will get nothing and lose a lot instead.

These are the values ​​he has established since childhood.

The first collapse of his values ​​occurred when he followed his father's orders and tried to sow discord between Litt and Orson. At that time, he thought that the cleverness he learned from his father could successfully alienate the two brothers, but in the end he was outmaneuvered by Orson and lost the opportunity to continue studying at the Imperial Academy.

But that didn't matter. After coming back, Giovanni arranged for Donny to enter the best university in the Dukedom of Napoli to continue his studies. When he was in the Imperial Academy, his little followers who attended lunch at noon also transferred there. He was still the arrogant young man he used to be.

Until the Dukedom of Antica joined forces with the royal family to attack his own family, this trust in his father was broken again.

Even a man like him knew that the Duchy of Naples had no chance of defeating the combined forces of the royal family and Antica, and that his father had not been able to turn the tide of the war during this period.

If I believe my father again, my fate will obviously be to be sanctioned by the coalition forces together with him, and I may not even be able to save my life.

In order to maintain his current life, Donny had to find another way out. He chose to listen to Zenit's method and break off relations with his father.

However, it now seems that his every move is still under his father's nose, and what he thought was a conspiracy was actually already under Giovanni's nose.

He sat on his sofa, resting his head on his hands.

What just happened was too much information.

First of all, Giovanni had discovered what was going on between him and Zenit. Maybe Giovanni had already noticed it when he regarded Zenit as his confidant at the beginning. Everything that followed was to test Donny to see if Donny would take action against his biological father for his own benefit.

The result is obvious, Donny really wants to poison Giovanni for his own benefit.

So, did I fail in my father's trial?

Donnie lowered his head in thought.

At this moment, he had no time to care about Zenit's affairs.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Zenit had left him a letter, telling him to open it when he was confused.

Zenit was his confidant, and he believed that Zenit's actions were for his own good. Otherwise, he would not have risked his life to persuade him to poison his father to take the throne.

Moreover, judging from what his father just said, Zenit should be dead now.

When a man is about to die, his words are good. Let's see what Zenit said to me.

Thinking of this, Donnie opened the envelope.

Read it carefully.

……

On the other side, Saint Laurent City.

No one witnessed the assassination that night. According to the testimony of the witness who first discovered the assassination scene, François was already dead when he arrived.

No one from François's escort survived.

It is conceivable that there is no such thing as a traitor in the guard team.

Then, it is the external forces.

And from the intelligence gathered at the scene, several important items were missing from Francois’ body.

The first is the family crest, which is a symbol that can prove the noble identity. The crest was taken away, most likely for the assassin to prove his achievements to the client when making the report.

What disappears next is more interesting.

"We have examined the body of Duke François. Indeed, he suffered such fatal injuries. There were such exaggerated wounds on his body. His heart was gone." A member of the task force read out the results just determined by the doctor.

"I understand." Elsa nodded and then looked at the others.

"Everyone, based on the current information, do you have any ideas?"

Except for Orson, all members of the task force were extremely professional. Some were even famous detectives who had solved many major cases in the empire. However, when they heard this limited information, they still shook their heads.

"I have a guess." At this time, Orson raised his hand.

"The heart is one of the most important organs in the human body. The other party took away Duke François' heart. Is it possible that they wanted to use the Duke's heart to perform some evil rituals?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was in an uproar.

"...To be honest, this is very possible. After all, the power of noble blood has always been a mysterious existence. Maybe the nobles really have special physiques and are suitable to become sacrifices for evil sacrifices." A detective agreed with Orson's conjecture.

"Then, this incident is not simply a political assassination against the Duke, maybe there is a demonic background." Elsa said.

"After all, we haven't discovered the society that was able to transform living people into demons before."

“So these cases are connected?”

"Does that have anything to do with Napoli?"

"But if we put the speculation on Napoli at this time, will the families of the deceased think that we are trying to divert the conflict?"

"Anyway, this is the only possibility at the moment, right?"

"Report!" At this moment, a man broke into the meeting room and said hurriedly, "Found it... We... found the family crest of the Toulouse family!"

"What!?" Everyone present was shocked, and then Elsa stood up quickly. "Where did you find it?"

"Now we have found a breakthrough."

"It is illegal to privately forge a family crest, especially one for a duke's family. It is quite difficult to make, which means this crest must be real..."

"I thought it was done by Napoli, but I didn't expect it was actually done by local people?"

"Don't jump to conclusions so soon. What if there is a Napoli background?"

"Right……"

Just as everyone was discussing the topic, Orson, who had just started the conversation, deliberately remained silent, trying to reduce his presence.

It was at this time that the messenger rested and said, "It was found at the owner of a casino."

He then revealed the address of the casino.

Elsa quickly took out the materials and checked them according to the address.

After discovering the owner behind her, she was stunned.

The materials in his hands instantly fell onto the table and scattered everywhere.

The detective next to him looked over and exclaimed.

"What? It's actually His Royal Highness the Prince?!"

written request for leave

I went out to dinner with my classmates today (kind of like a party), so I didn't have time to update. I will make up for it tomorrow.

Chapter 3: Reborn (K)

"Don't tell anyone about this for now!" After Elsa recovered from her shock, she hurriedly instructed the people around her.

Then she looked at the person who came forward to report the news.

"Tell the investigation team to continue the investigation, but do not release any information to the public, otherwise you will be the only one to be held accountable!"

"Yes! I understand!" The man nodded and quickly left the meeting room.

"At this moment, we cannot rule out the possibility of frame-up..." a detective spoke up to defend Arthas.

"Well, that's true."

"But how do we explain the Toulouse family crest?"

Those present started discussing the matter again.

After all, without sufficient evidence, the detective's only way to solve the case is to make guesses and assumptions based on past experience.

Elsa couldn't care less about all this at the moment. She looked around the crowd and then saw Orson who was silent.

She walked to Orson and asked in a low voice:

"Orson, what do you think about this?"

"My opinion is the same as theirs. I think this is most likely a frame-up, but why His Royal Highness was chosen, I don't know."

"You really think so?"

"Well, Your Highness, don't think I'm too smart." Orson said this and smiled at Elsa.

"Don't expect too much from me, or you'll be disappointed."

Elsa stared at Orson for a moment before looking away.

Now we can no longer dwell on Orson. Instead, we have to fix the mess caused by our own brother.
