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

After walking out of the police station, under the watchful eyes of two guards behind him, Orson stopped a carriage and headed towards the Imperial Academy.

"Oh, when will this day end?" In the dormitory, Litt sat in the living room, looking up at the chandelier on the ceiling, feeling bored.

"Orson isn't coming back either, Lena is preparing to go home again, and Lianka and Olivia are also preparing to go back."

The thought of Orson still being locked up made Litt furious.

"Really? Orson has made so many contributions to the empire, but they don't show any mercy. It's impossible to imagine that Orson would do something like assassinating the Duke, let alone assassinating the Emperor later."

At this moment, there was a sound of turning the doorknob.

"Who is it? Orson isn't home right now. Come back in a few days if you want to see him."

It seemed that Litt had gotten used to the frequent visits to Orson by his classmates in the past few days, and he was ready to chase them away without even looking up.

Then it suddenly occurred to her that those who wanted to see Orson would not just push the door open.

Then she raised her head.

Sure enough, Orson was standing at the door at this moment. He hung his coat on the hanger and then noticed Litt's gaze.

"Hey, Leeteuk, I'm back."

Litt didn't say anything. She put down the book in her hand, stood up silently, and slowly approached Orson.

Then, when he was less than five meters away from Orson, he used a brutal charge.

"Pfft, hey! Leeteuk, I know you've missed me these days, but there's no need to do this."

However, Litt didn't care about all this. She hugged Orson tightly, as if she wanted to weld herself and Orson together.

Then, Orson felt that Litt's body in his arms was trembling slightly.

"Leet?"

Orson asked doubtfully.

I just haven't been back for a while, why do I feel that Li Te's behavior at this moment is especially like...

puppy?

The kind of puppy that will excitedly run towards its owner, wagging its tail, when the owner comes home from work.

“That’s great… That’s great.”

Lit repeated these three words.

"What's so good?"

"Orson, they let you go, didn't they?"

"Ah."

"Does that mean you're not a bad person? They really wronged you."

"...So be it."

Orson nodded and replied.

Unexpectedly, after saying this, Li Te buried his head in his chest again.

Seeing this, Orson patted Litt's back helplessly.

It seems that she is the one who least wants to become a bad person.

"Okay, okay, I'm fine, Leeteuk, they framed me, how could I do something like that?"

He comforted Litt softly.

It also seemed like he was comforting others.

Chapter 44: Filial Piety

"Arthas, I told you."

In the palace, Odysseus looked at Arthas in front of him. Today, he was rarely angry with his son.

At this moment, he was holding a list in his hand.

"If you can't control your own men, then disband them all. The only thing they do in this world is to make food more expensive!"

Arthas lowered his head and remained silent.

The results of the investigation during this period were very unsatisfactory, and there was even a possibility that the boomerang would hit Arthas.

He has given the police station his utmost support, even at the cost of destroying the relationship between him and Lucius.

But the result is that still nothing was found.

Orson was cleared of suspicion, but the other breakthroughs and suspects in the case were either missing or dead, making it impossible to investigate.

Continuing the investigation, they could only hastily pin the blame on Giovanni and Raven.

This is not the reason why Odysseus rebuked Arthas.

Based on his investigation of François's missing servant, Odysseus discovered that Arthas's men had come into contact with the servant just a few months ago.

"Arthas, tell the truth."

Odysseus looked at Arthas, his eyes no longer had the usual kindness, but were filled with confusion and questioning.

"In your heart, is the throne so important that it's worth you framing your sister for it?"

"Father, why do you say that?"

When Arthas heard this, he seemed to be in a sore spot and suddenly raised his head to look at his father.

"Do you think I don't know what you did behind my back? Arthas, your father is still an emperor after all."

"You wanted to intensify the conflict and frame Elsa. You put a forged bill in her servant's house. The bill was for the Orchid Tavern, right?"

"The background check of the man who tried to assassinate me turned out to be your old subordinate in the army, right?!"

"Father...you are..."

"You think Erza is that stupid!?"

"Arthas, I am extremely disappointed in you. I will give you a month to sort out the affairs in the army. Starting next month, you will only be responsible for the affairs of the Knights. Leave the rest to your sister."

Odysseus' words hit Arthas in the chest like a bolt from the blue. He looked at his father in disbelief, his lips trembling.

After a long while, he mustered up his courage and said, "Father, I know you look down on me and think that I am just a warrior and that my methods are biased."

"But if I don't do this, will you give up the throne to me?!"

Arthas questioned.

"Before Francois was assassinated! I was the heir to the empire, and Elsa was still in school and had no real power. Everyone knew that I would definitely be the next emperor of the empire."

"But why? You clearly know that the matter of the family emblem was clearly framed on me, but why do you still think it is my fault? Someone is clearly secretly framing me and trying to support Elsa to the position. Can't you see it?"

"Then go find the person who framed you!"

Odysseus shouted angrily as well.

"Didn't I give you a chance to prove your innocence? You arrested Orson and dug up Madam Lucius's grave. Aren't these opportunities enough? What did you come up with?"

Upon hearing this, Arthas clenched his fists, and then his eyes gradually became full of ferocity as he looked at Lucius.

"Father, you are not on Elsa's side, are you?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Think about it carefully. You seem to be really partial to Elsa. After all, she hasn't even graduated from the academy yet, and you've given her so much power. This is totally against the rules of the past generations."

"Because I have seen through you. You are an absolute waste. If you sit on the throne of the empire, it will only make the empire more chaotic."

Odysseus said coldly.

"So, in your mind, it doesn't matter who comes to power between me and Elsa. What's more important is who can stabilize the situation in the empire, right?"

"In your eyes, Father, we are nothing more than candidates for your successor. There is no family affection at all, right?"

"you……"

Odysseus watched Arthas' emotions gradually collapse and pointed at him angrily.

However, the next second, a feeling of powerlessness came over Odysseus' heart, his eyes went dark, and his body fell backwards instantly.

Arthas was also shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

"Someone come! Father has fainted!"

In the palace, Arthas's heart-wrenching voice was heard.

……

When Elsa hurried back to the palace from the police station, Odysseus had already been carried to the bed.

The court physician's diagnosis was that he had fallen into a coma due to excessive stress, but no one knew when he would wake up or if he would have any sequelae.

Elsa walked into the bedroom and immediately saw Arthas kneeling beside Odysseus.

She came to her brother, and then asked anxiously: "Brother, what's going on with father?"

"Today, my father and I were discussing the progress of the case. When he heard the news that the key witness was missing, he immediately became angry. I tried to comfort him, but it didn't work..."

"really?"

Elsa asked confused.

But then he saw Arthas turned his head and looked at him.

At this time, Arthas' eyes were red and swollen, his pupils shrank slightly, and the expression on his face looked very creepy.

"Elsa, even you don't trust me, your brother?"

"No...no." Seeing this, Elsa quickly shook her head.

"It's just that my father is seriously ill in bed, so I asked subconsciously..."

"Now that I'm back, you can take a rest, brother."

"No." Arthas shook his head. "I want to stay with my father. I still have a lot to tell him."

When Elsa saw this scene, she had some doubts in her heart, but she still said worriedly: "Forget it, my brother, go back and have a good rest. When father wakes up, I will definitely come to inform you, how about it?"

"..." Arthas stopped talking.

Looking at Arthas's actions, Elsa was helpless. She came to the door and asked one of the guards.

"When the accident happened today, was it only my brother who was with my father?"

"Yes." A guard said affirmatively.

"How long has my brother been kneeling before our father?"

"About... three hours."

"..." Elsa heard this and said nothing, and walked straight back to the room.

Looking at her brother, she followed his example and knelt beside him.

Arthas heard the noise next to him and turned to look at Elsa, but he did not stop her.

"If you can't handle it, don't do it."

He gave Elsa a piece of advice and then continued to stay in front of Odysseus.

Seeing this, Elsa didn't say anything more.

A black cat was lying on the wall outside the bedroom. Feeling the sky getting darker, it yawned, then arched its back to stretch its muscles, and then jumped off the wall.

On the other side, Orson came to the Saint Laurent City headquarters of the Lison Chamber of Commerce alone.

A merger and acquisition ceremony will be held here today.

Chelinina's business war has finally come to an end.

The Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce is about to withdraw from the imperial stage and be merged into the Lison Chamber of Commerce.

Chapter 45: Things That Have to Be Done

The first floor of the Lison Chamber of Commerce has now been used as a banquet venue.
