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

"I didn't expect that Martin, who looks like a very honest and simple man, actually has a sister."

"I think it's quite normal. He's handsome and has a cheerful personality. It would be abnormal if no one likes such a man, right?" Virgil commented.

"What about you? Where's your person?" Litt quickly asked Virgil.

"This..." Virgil showed an embarrassed expression when he heard this.

"Master Leete, it would be rude to ask any more questions."

"Bah, that's impolite. Didn't you have a good relationship with the orc lady from the Orchid Tavern? I saw that after you dealt with Mudrick, she often asked you out for drinks."

"This... let's not talk about this." Hearing that his affairs were exposed, Virgil blushed and began to argue.

"That would be great, if only Orson could be so proactive towards me." Litt muttered softly as he looked at the two people hugging each other.

"Master Litt, what did you say?" Virgil didn't hear clearly what Litt said just now, but he vaguely heard the word Orson.

"I said, it's okay!"

"However, our battle should be to protect a group of people like this, right?" Litt suddenly changed the subject.

"Yeah," Virgil agreed.

If Litt had not used the strategy of sowing discord but had attacked directly, he would certainly have captured Florence faster, but what about the losses?

There are many people like Martin and Judith, right?

If the war really turns out like that, the damage it causes will only be more serious.

When he thought about the current situation of the war and the group of people following him, Li Te suddenly became a little afraid of war.

"It's okay." At this time, Litt suddenly remembered what Orson had said to him before.

"You've done a good job, Lit, don't blame yourself."

"...If I really did a good enough job, then why did you, Orson, choose her instead of me..." Lit said to himself.

It was evening, and Leet, Virgil and Martin gathered at Judith's house for dinner.

"Ah, thank you very much, Mr. Litt and Mr. Virgil." Judith listened to Martin's talk about Litt's philosophy today, and then she insisted on inviting the two to her home for dinner.

"These days of lockdown have been tough, haven't they?" At the dinner table, Litt talked about life in Florence.

"Yeah." Judith nodded. "No business is allowed during the day. Only food stores are allowed to open. You have to queue up in a long line to buy food. The prices are also very expensive. There is also a curfew at night. They say it is to prevent spies from coming in."

"Now it seems that there is no need to do this, right? Look, our troops have been here for a few days, and the public security in the city is still good, isn't it?"

"Yeah." Judith nodded. "To be honest, Florence is no different now than it was before the war. It may even be better because you are reducing taxes here, and the city officials are no longer teaming up with some stores to oppress small shops like us."

"This is what we hoped for." Li Te nodded.

The reason I came to Judith's house today was not only because I received an invitation, but also because Litt wanted to see what the general public thought of the Allied occupation policy.

After seeing Judith's high praise for the occupation, Litt felt relieved.

It seems that my approach is not wrong. I just need to follow Orson's advice.

"But...how should I put it? I feel...after all, you guys are the attacking party, so we still feel a little strange..."

"It's okay. You will get used to the new lord after a while." Litt said.

A few people talked about the flower shop at the dinner table, and finally the topic came to Martin.

"Um...Judith, I have something to say to you." Martin said this with a flicker in his eyes.

"Pfft." Leeteuk laughed at this time. "You are so straightforward on the battlefield, why do you become so evasive in front of the person you like?"

When they heard the word "person they like", their cheeks turned red.

But Martin finally spoke.

"Judith, you have seen that Master Lit's army is a righteous army, and there are still many people in Naples who are oppressed by Duke Giovanni, so... I plan to help Master Lit and his army to defeat Giovanni."

"Yes, I know." Judith was not dissatisfied when she heard this, but nodded in understanding. "After all, you told me before that you would come back after repelling the invaders, but now your position has changed, so it will take more time, right?"

"Yeah." Martin nodded. "Can you understand me?"

"Of course. After all, you never break your promise. You said you would show up in front of me, and you finally showed up in front of me, didn't you?"

"Don't worry, I'm not some rich lady who needs you to take care of my daily life." Judith said this with a forced smile.

What a joke! My man just came back from the gates of hell. How could a normal person bear to let him go there again?

But that's Martin's character, and Judith can only choose to understand.

After all, lovers can only stay together until the end if they support each other.

Just like when Martin helped me disperse the thugs sent by rival merchants to cause trouble when I opened my own flower shop before, Martin's family was obviously very rich, and I didn't need to run a flower shop at all after being with him, but he still chose not to ask about this issue and support his hobby.

Then Judith will also support Martin in the same way.

The two of them said some sensational words, which made Virgil and Litt feel a little embarrassed.

There is no way. The people that both of them care about are not around now. Looking at this scene, they can only eat dog food silently.

"Judith...you are such a good girl. I am so sorry for making you stay at home and worry about me..."

"It's okay, Martin, I believe you will come back, right?"

"Well, Judith, when I come back this time, we'll get married..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" At this time, Litt quickly interrupted Martin's death flag.

When chatting with Orson before, Orson reminded Lit that when making a promise with others, you must not say "After I come back this time, I will definitely..."

Generally speaking, people who say such things will never come back.

Orson also carefully analyzed the principle.

First of all, the things to do after coming back are those things that you wanted to do but didn't do before, maybe you didn't dare to do them, or maybe you didn't have time. But if you keep these feelings on the road, you will be distracted. If you are distracted on the battlefield, it goes without saying what the result will be.

Therefore, when Litt heard Martin's sensational words this time, he quickly interrupted the two of them.

"Oh, what are you doing? It's not like we're parting forever. Can't we wait until you come back to talk about it? Do you have to say it here? Can't you give me a surprise when you come back?"

"That's right..." Martin nodded after hearing that.

"How about a more practical approach?"

Orson once told Litt that the Naples region is located in the south and the people there are relatively open-minded.

Now Li Te has seen what openness means.

Looking at the two people kissing, Lit quickly reached out and covered Virgil's eyes.

I looked at the two of them with a red face.

It turns out that kissing can be done this way. I've learned something. Next time I go back, I'll see if I can do this with Orson...

"No... Master Lit, I can't see the food in the bowl clearly like this..." Virgil couldn't help but complain.

"I'm not interested in this kind of thing. It's useless for you to cover my eyes."

"Nonsense, I don't believe you don't want to be with Miss Lion..."

"Stop!" When the word "lion" was mentioned, Virgil seemed to be touched by something and quickly shouted to stop.

"Okay, sorry, we caused you trouble just now..." After the two separated, Judith looked at the two people with exaggerated expressions and said apologetically.

"I forgot that you are from outside the city. Here, intimate behavior between lovers is not limited to any occasion. I am really sorry for the trouble I have caused you." Martin also apologized at this time.

"It's okay. I learned a lot." Li Te said with a red face, "By the way, what about private actions?"

"A private act?" Judith and Martin looked at each other and then quickly looked away.

"You...what are you talking about..."

"That's right... we haven't developed to that point yet..."

"Besides, that kind of thing cannot be made public no matter where it is, right?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just talking." Seeing the two people's reactions, Li Te waved his hands.

"Anyway, you have already made your decision, right?"

"Well, I'm ready here. When are you planning to leave?"

"You can leave tomorrow." Martin said directly.

"Tomorrow? Isn't that a little too early? How about leaving in a few days? After all, you and Judith have only known each other for a short time. It would be too cruel for you to separate..."

"It's okay. On the contrary, if you stay here for a few days, you will be more reluctant to leave." Judith smiled shyly.

"Hey, it's great that you are so honest. Unlike me." Leeteuk said this and started to complain.

"I also have someone I like, but the person I like is never honest. He's obviously interested in me, but he always says something like, 'Oh, we can't be like this'. It's really annoying. I wish he could be as honest as any of you." Leeteuk couldn't help but complain.

Virgil, who was standing next to him, began to sweat when he heard this.

It seems that Master Orson never said that he was interested in Master Li Te...

"Pfft, from what Master Leete said, the person you like should be very old-fashioned, right?"

"Yes! So old-fashioned! He always sticks to some moral bottom line. Anyway, I don't understand him. Oh, forget it, let's not talk about him anymore." Lit said this and raised his glass.

"Come on, let's drink to our future victory!"

Chapter 84: Pressure

"Orson, what's going on?" Elsa found Orson in the hotel and asked seriously.

Although there have been open and covert struggles within the royal family, they have always maintained a consistent and firm attitude towards external affairs, which is not to allow localism to rise.

But now the Duke of Orleans joined forces with the other three dukes to put pressure on the royal family, and even began to increase troops on the border, forcing the royal family to withdraw its troops from the front line to defend.

"You and Olivia are engaged, right? Then why is Prussia still following Orleans to put pressure on the royal family?"

"Your Highness, I think you are such a smart person, you should understand, right? The person in charge of Prussia now is not Olivia, but her father, Duke William."

"It's true that Olivia and I are engaged, but what can we do about it? Matters involving the fundamental interests of the dukedom must be decided by Duke William himself, and the role of the engagement can be said to be minimal."

"After all, I have confirmed that I will not be the future heir to the Dukedom of Antica, so a marriage is not that valuable, right?"

When Elsa heard Orson say this, she lowered her head helplessly.

"...Orson, you're right. I was impulsive just now."

Elsa solemnly apologized to Orson and then left Orson's room.

At a time like this, I really shouldn't blame someone who has always been helping me.

The current situation clearly shows that the royal family’s problems are more serious.

When Elsa left the hotel, she ran into Olivia who was about to meet Orson.

"Olivia..." Looking at Olivia, Elsa felt awkward.

After all, the forces behind her are currently standing in opposition to the royal family, so it would be impossible to have a good communication with them.

"Your Highness, have you seen Orson just now?" Seeing Elsa stopped, Olivia hurriedly asked about Orson.

"Ah, yes, I just had something to ask Orson, sorry."

"It's okay." Olivia shook her head. "Your Highness, what you want to ask is Prussia's position, right? This is indeed not something Orson can decide. Please understand him."

"It's okay, of course I understand." Elsa nodded. "I have some things to deal with, so I won't stay here for now."

"Yeah." Olivia glanced at Elsa, said goodbye to her, and walked into the hotel.

"Orson..." Olivia knocked on the door. When the door opened, she murmured as she looked at the man standing in front of her.

"What's wrong, Olivia? You look a little unhappy?" Orson looked at Olivia and asked curiously.

"Well, because I couldn't help you... and, from my family's perspective, I can't help you with this matter."

What Olivia was talking about was naturally the issue of taking sides.

"It's okay. Rather, what Duke William did was exactly what I expected." Orson said this with a smile, which made Olivia feel at ease.

"Duke William should have said it too. Given the current situation in the empire, you must side with the local faction. Otherwise, a larger-scale war is likely to break out."

"Well, my father did say that, but... wouldn't Antica have to face Naples alone?"

"Don't worry about that." Orson shook his head. "The situation on the front line is very good. Even if the imperial army is transferred away, Antica's army will have the upper hand against Naples, so it's okay."

"On the contrary, in the current situation, the royal family seems to have to make concessions to the dukes, otherwise the possible consequences will be something the royal family cannot afford." Orson said this and looked at Olivia.
