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

Although having one's own personal power is not a bad thing, Arthas chose to take advantage of such a large piece of gray area.

If it were any other time, it would have been fine, but it just so happened that François was assassinated. At this time, all the nobles who were closely involved with the gray industry would be investigated.

But for Elsa, this is not a bad thing.

Originally, Alsace was considered to be on the same front as the old nobles, and he deliberately built his personality in that direction. However, if the fact that Alsace might have assassinated François spread among the nobles, his support rate would probably drop significantly.

……

"Father, I know I was wrong!" Young Donny knelt in front of Giovanni, lowered his head and apologized sincerely.

"Wrong? What's wrong with you?!"

"I...I shouldn't have let my servants beat up others..."

"Is this where you're wrong?" Giovanni frowned when he heard this.

"It's difficult...isn't it?" Tang Ni asked with sobs.

"Your mistake was letting others find out!" Giovanni taught.

"Think about it, that person pissed you off and you disliked him, right?" Giovanni began to induce Tony.

"Yeah." Donnie nodded.

"Well, isn't it better to never see him again than to teach him a lesson?"

When young Donnie heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, full of disbelief.

"If your servant beats him up, he can still complain to others, and you will still be discovered, right?"

"So, once you find those who have annoyed you, those you don't want to meet, either don't do anything, so that others think you have a good relationship with him, or just kill him so that he can no longer make you feel disgusted." After saying this, Giovanni smiled.

"Well, isn't this a good idea?"

"That's what father taught me."

"So, I'll give you a year. After a year, I don't want to hear any news about the count's son," Giovanni said.

This matter itself was a matter between two children. In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with Donny teaching the count's son a lesson, but the count was also a stubborn guy and insisted on coming to him for an explanation. Giovanni was a duke after all and needed to maintain a good image, so he symbolically punished Donny.

After seeing Tony being punished, the earl saved his face and left with satisfaction.

However, a year later, his son disappeared during a hunting trip. The earl became insane due to the loss of his beloved son, and eventually the territory was inherited by a branch of the family.

This was the first time that Donny followed Giovanni's instructions. When he saw that he could actually dominate the fate of others, Donny gradually began to indulge in this feeling.

Donny vented all the pressure he received from his father on others, and his personality became distorted in the process.

However, in front of Giovanni, Donny still habitually plays the image of an incompetent son. Only in this way can Giovanni always treat him as a child with confidence.

After reading the letter from Zenit, Donny recalled his childhood and laughed stupidly twice.

"Mr. Zenit, you are really my mentor." Having said this, Tony narrowed his gaze and looked at a painting hanging in his room.

Indeed, it is unlikely for me to break free from Giovanni's control now. Having lost his trust, I can only follow Giovanni's pace again.

Just like what was said in the letter.

If you want to break through the life arranged by others, you can only submit to the present situation for the time being. I believe that you, Mr. Tangny, have endured for nearly twenty years, and you will not be unable to endure it in these few months.

"Mr. Zenit, you are absolutely right," he said softly.

……

Duke of Orleans.

After François's body was examined, it was quickly transported back to the Duke of Orleans for burial.

At this funeral, because of the special cause of François' death, only members of the Toulouse family attended.

After taking care of François' funeral arrangements, the Duchy of Orleans resumed normal operations.

However, the person sitting in the Duke's office was not the current Regent Sean of the Duke of Orleans, but the Duke of Orleans Henry himself, who was only fourteen years old.

"Uncle Sean, thank you for your help, I can hold this position securely." Henry sat in the position that once belonged to his father, looked at Sean in front of him, and thanked him.

"It's okay, it's okay." Sean said this with a flattering smile.

"If everything is as you say, then our Dukedom of Orleans will soon be the hegemony of the Duchy."

"Don't worry, Uncle Sean, I will use the knowledge I bring to lead us to victory." Henry said this, with an ambiguous smile on his face.

Yes, Henry is a reincarnated being.

In his previous life, after his father was assassinated, Sean's power gradually fell into others' hands due to his poor management skills. He even lost his position as regent before Henry was able to rule the country himself. Later, Henry was also sidelined by the newly appointed regent.

In the second half of his life, Henry lived as a puppet duke under the shadow of the regent. Finally, one time at a banquet, he refuted the regent, calling him a thief and robber, which made the regent lose face.

Although the regent could not do anything to him because he was away at the time, Henry eventually received a glass of poisoned wine that evening after returning to the Duke's Palace.

After drinking the poisoned wine, Henry did not die, but returned to his youth.

When he saw the time, he was also stunned.

It was exactly when his father was assassinated.

He knew that he couldn't save his father by any means, so he simply turned his attention to others.

His first target was to find Sean, his regent in his previous life.

To be fair, although Sean is not very capable, the most important thing for a regent is not to covet power, and Sean has done a good job in this regard.

If nothing unexpected happened, Sean could have made a peaceful transition to growing up with Henry.

That night, as soon as Henry met Sean, he told him why he was there.

"Father will be assassinated tonight and may not survive the night." He said these terrifying words in an extremely calm tone, and Sean was unable to react for a moment.

"Henry! How can you curse your own father to death like that?"

"This is not a curse, Uncle Sean, you have to believe me, I was reincarnated from the afterlife, and now the only two people I can save are you and me!"

Sean didn't believe it at first, and even thought Henry was crazy, so he quickly sent someone to send Henry back.

But an hour later, the news coming from Saint Laurent City made Sean dumbfounded.

Then, he quickly invited Henry back. After listening to Henry's story about his previous life, Sean was silent for a long time.

In the previous life, neither he nor Henry had a good ending. Henry eventually died from a glass of poisoned wine, and Sean "accidentally" died in a hunting trip after being deprived of his regency.

In the end, Sean chose to believe Henry. He didn't want to repeat the same mistake, even though everything was just what Henry said.

So, that night, Sean helped Henry run around all the prominent families in Paris, conveying the news of François' death and making Henry the legitimate wife.

Afterwards, the few of them rushed to Saint Laurent City almost non-stop.

Henry had witnessed his father's death once in his previous life. This time, he did not shed tears, but stood silently in the middle of the crowd.

In the previous life, the cause of his father’s death was also unclear. In the end, the royal family hastily gave the results of the investigation and did not find the real murderer.

Even if Henry wanted to investigate afterwards, it would only be a waste of effort as he had lost a lot of intelligence clues.

Having died unclearly in his previous life, Henry vowed in this life to take back everything he had lost.

No matter whether it was the regent who killed me or the cause of my father's death, I must avenge all this hatred!

With this idea in mind, Henry quickly began his revenge plan after coming to power.

The first one was the regent in his previous life. Sean trusted others too easily, which gave the regent an opportunity to take advantage of him. But now, the other party has been framed with a series of crimes by him and put in jail.

What awaits him will be what he once did to Henry.

Chapter 79: Will You Be Disappointed?

But as Henry learned more and more about the information in this world, he felt more and more that something was wrong.

The first is Orson.

In his original memory, this leader of the younger generation of the empire, an absolute prodigy, should have been disgraced long ago because of the breakdown of his relationship with his brother Litt and the exposure of his secret tricks and conspiracies against Litt before his father was assassinated. However, he actually saw Orson and Elsa sitting together.

Of course Henry knew Orson. Before Mary got into trouble, the two families were relatives and had contacts with each other. The relationship between the two families had always been pretty good. It was not until Orson got into trouble and Mary was exposed and expelled from the family that the two families stopped contacting each other.

Henry remembered every detail of what happened to Orson. In the battle in front of everyone, with the future inheritance of the family at stake, Orson used the power of the devil.

Even so, he failed to defeat Leeteuk.

After the defeat, Orson lost all his strength and his final whereabouts are unknown.

Henry was very confused. Although he had traveled back in time, the world line seemed to have changed.

During these few days, he learned that Orson and Litt were not enemies like in the previous world line, but worked together to develop the Duchy of Antica and repel the attack from the orcs.

Thanks to this achievement, Orson did not fall into disgrace like Henry in his previous life. Instead, he became a great hero of the empire, even surpassing some dukes in reputation.

But all this was gained by Orson giving up his inheritance rights.

This made Henry very puzzled.

In his previous life, Orson had an irreconcilable conflict with Litt over the duke's inheritance rights, but now not only has that not happened, the relationship between the two brothers is very good.

Could it be that this Orson was also reincarnated?

This thought stayed in Henry's mind for a brief moment, and he finally shook his head.

That shouldn't be possible. It's just that the world line I traveled back to has changed.

Thinking of this, Henry got up and went to the basement of the Duke's mansion.

At this moment, the basement has been converted into a cell, and a middle-aged man is having his limbs bound by iron chains, curled up tightly in a corner of the cell.

He was the man who had cast a deep shadow on Henry, Count Fulton of the Dukedom of Orleans.

"Earl Fulton, how are you?" Henry looked at the man in front of him with a smile.

"How are you, Your Excellency Duke Henry." The middle-aged man named Fulton no longer had the decency of his previous life. His beard and hair were messy, and he hadn't taken a bath for a long time, emitting an unpleasant odor.

"I never thought that you would have such a miserable day." Henry snorted coldly.

"I don't really understand, Your Majesty, why do you want to trap me here? There are only two of us here. Let's not beat around the bush. You know what the charges are." Fulton said this, raised his head, and looked at Henry calmly.

"It's normal that you don't understand." Henry said this and sat in front of Fulton.

"I'll tell you straight away. I plan to instigate Uncle Sean's regency in the future, and then take control of the entire Dukedom of Orleans. Even when I come of age, you will still hold on to power and be unwilling to give it up."

"You said, if I don't trap a powerful official like you who is so ambitious and capable before you develop, do I have to wait until you gain the trust of Uncle Sean and use me as a puppet before I rebel?"

"Oh, Duke Henry, aren't you a little too pessimistic?" Fulton was full of disdain when he heard Henry say that.

Only a three-year-old child would believe this kind of reason, right?

Not to mention that he was only an earl now, even if he really gained Sean's trust in the future as he said, how could he override the duke? Was he blind to be the emperor?

"Duke Henry, do you think what you said is reliable? You are not reborn from the future."

"Oh, is that really the case?"

"Do you really think that I was not reborn from the future?"

Fulton's eyes suddenly widened.

"But... even if you, Duke Henry, have returned from the future, I haven't done anything wrong right now, right? Imprisoning me like this is against the laws of the empire, right?"

"Well, maybe that's true." Henry nodded, "But I don't regret it. After all, I came here for 'revenge'."

He emphasized the word revenge, then stood up.

"Earl Fulton, you should just wait for death in this dungeon. No one will come to save you."

Henry only intended to let Sean and himself know that he was a reborn person. After he told Fulton that he was a reborn person, the implication was very obvious.

There was no way he could make it to the outside world alive.

Just as Henry walked up one floor from the dungeon, Sean was already waiting for him in the living room.

"Your Excellency, the family members from Fulton's side are making trouble outside the palace. They say Fulton was wrongly accused and they won't leave until Fulton is released."

"Ignore them." Henry waved his hand. "The crime is obvious. He must be punished."

"If they insist on rebelling, let them experience the consequences of disobeying the Duke."

"I see." Sean nodded. "Then, the next question is about Francois. The royal family often reported the progress to us in real time during the investigation, but for some reason, they haven't reported in the past two days. They said there is no progress."

"How is it possible that there is no progress!" Henry said this, and his emotions suddenly became excited.

This was the case in the previous life. The royal family was investigating but suddenly there was no news, and the case was finally closed as an unsolved case. This became a knot in Henry's heart that he was never able to resolve.
