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

Chelinina looked at the sky and said thoughtfully.

"Ah."

Orson nodded.

"I've prepared an umbrella for you. If you need it, just let me know."

"I will."

Orson and Chelinina walked back inside and were alone for a while before Orson left the Lison Chamber of Commerce.

……

The next day, it was dawn.

Sherlock woke up from bed, got dressed and prepared to go to work at the police station.

As soon as she arrived at the door, she felt something was wrong.

There were at least five strangers outside the door.

She knew magic, and in order to prevent thieves from breaking in, she cast a detection magic at the door of her residence to sense any unusual auras.

If a person's presence remains within the range of the detection magic for a long time, she will receive a warning when she reaches the door.

At this moment, she sensed the presence of five people at the door.

Faced with this situation, she was particularly careful and walked out through the secret door leading to the alley.

However, when she walked out of the alley, several guards came up to her instantly.

"Miss Sherlock, we suspect that you have been bribed by the suspect and are deliberately shielding the suspect, so please come with us."

"Huh? Bribed? Who are you? Who sent you here?!"

Sherlock knew he couldn't resist, so he decided to find out their background.

However, the other party said nothing and just made a "please" gesture.

Sherlock had no choice but to follow a few people to a house outside the palace.

At this moment, inside the palace.

Odysseus was still unconscious, and after kneeling for a day, Arthas could only return to his residence under the persuasion of his guards.

Before leaving, he informed the guards to notify him immediately if the emperor showed signs of consciousness.

Afterwards, he returned to his residence and began to plan secretly.

Arthas was not ignorant of government affairs as Odysseus said. On the contrary, it was because he was very interested in politics that he regarded increasing the royal power as his most important task after taking office.

After Odysseus completely gave up his confidence in Arthas and prepared to train Elsa as his successor, Arthas had only one choice.

"came back?"

Inside the room, Rosalyn looked at Arthas.

"Ah."

Not long after their last meeting, Rosalin formed an alliance with Arthas, the two became nominally husband and wife, and then lived together.

The alliance has only one goal.

Arthas became Emperor of the Empire and Rosaline became Empress of the Empire.

"How is the Emperor's health?"

"Nothing serious, just unconscious."

Arthas said this, took off his coat and sat on the chair.

"but……"

"but?"

Rosalin looked at Arthas in confusion.

"My father no longer trusts me. He plans to let Elsa inherit the throne."

Hearing this, Rosalyn was stunned.

"So, you are going to keep waiting like this until your sister takes your place?"

"...What else? He is my father."

"It is true that he is your father, but, Arthas, you are the future emperor."

Rosalyn walked up behind Arthas and placed her hands on his shoulders.

"I'm not a woman who likes to fail. What happened last time has brought shame to my family."

"This time, it's about the future. I don't want to lose again. Do you understand?"

"So what are you going to let me do?"

"At least for now, His Majesty the Emperor hasn't issued an official order, right?"

Hearing this, Arthas turned around and looked at Rosaline in astonishment.

"So, what do you mean?"

Rosalin moved closer to Arthas and whispered in his ear:

"I'm terrified of losing something, especially when that thing is something I value most."

"So, if someone insists on taking it away from me, I will fight with all my might."

"Now, while everything has not become a fait accompli, there is still room for maneuver, right?"

Upon hearing this, Arthas nodded.

"I see."

Rosalin then told Arthas what to do, and after listening, Arthas did not refuse.

But his hands hidden under his sleeves were trembling slightly.

Chapter 5: Breaking off friendship (K)

"Phil? Why you?"

Sherlock was taken to a house and followed the guards to the second floor, where he saw an old acquaintance of his in the study.

"You go down first."

Phil didn't answer Sherlock, but glanced at the guard next to Sherlock.

The latter heard this, nodded, and then left the room.

Afterwards, Phil looked at Sherlock with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"Charlotte, sit down first."

She still used a more intimate title to prove the relationship between herself and Sherlock.

"I don't have to sit."

Sherlock shook his head and looked straight at Phil.

"Tell me, Phil, what happened?"

"To be honest, I don't really know."

Phil said helplessly.

"You also know, Charlotte, I work for the royal family. You must not be angry about what I am about to say next."

"Well, you said."

Sherlock was mentally prepared. The worst that could happen was that the royal family would abandon her. She had been prepared since she took office.

"Someone from the royal family said...you are Orson's friend and have met with him privately. The investigation results are all fabricated, and the evidence proving Orson is not a suspect is also fake. So they asked me to control you first, and then they will continue to try Orson."

"what?!"

Even though he was prepared, Sherlock was still a little surprised.

"But they don't have any evidence to prove that Orson is the criminal. Are they going to forge evidence and persecute Orson?"

"Maybe."

Phil smiled wryly and shrugged.

"The royal family is like this. Once someone threatens their rule, they will fight that person to the end, even if the final result is that both sides suffer losses, even if there is no crime at all."

"But aren't they afraid that if they attack Orson, forces from other places will counterattack?"

"This is not something that a worker like me can think about."

Phil sighed.

"You should stay here for the next few days. Luckily I'm watching you, otherwise the others would probably use other means."

"Other means?"

"Well, like torture? Anyway, it won't make you feel too comfortable."

Phil said this, stood at the window, looked at the crowd outside, and sighed.

"However, I estimate that something unexpected will happen in Saint Laurent City soon."

"Before that, you should rest here for a while. Although I can't guarantee that I will let you out, it's no problem for you to have a comfortable life."

"Thank you..."

Hearing this, Sherlock thanked Phil softly.

……

A few more days passed, and the students of the Imperial Academy who went out for training completed their training reports one after another, so the Imperial Academy prepared to end the semester of this academic year.

As the student union president and student representative, Orson naturally went on stage to speak.

"As students of the Imperial Academy, we carry the future of the Imperial Academy and the future of the Empire. I hope you will work hard and live up to your youth to reach the top of the mountains."

After Orson finished his closing remarks, the audience burst into thunderous applause. He bowed to the audience and then gave the remaining time to the dean Luca.

Just as he stepped down from the stage, Therese approached him.

"Orson, there's news just now coming from the academy gate, saying that the royal guards are waiting at the academy gate, ready to take you in for investigation."

When Orson heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Me? Haven't I already completed the investigation?"

"So I think the situation this time is not that simple. At least, it may be more dangerous than the last time I took you away. What do you think? If you are ready to refuse, I will deal with them."

"No need."

Orson shook his head and rejected Triss's kindness.

"Teacher Triss, I appreciate your kindness, but this is my business. If they really want to target me, then I shouldn't involve you. Anyway... I have my own way, trust me."

"..." Triss was silent for a while after hearing this, and then nodded.

"Okay, then I believe you, but at least let me walk you out of the school gate."

Having said this, she took the initiative to walk in front of Orson.

"Ok."

When we arrived at the gate of the Imperial College, as expected, a group of guards were already waiting quietly at the door.

The moment Orson stepped out of the school gate, the guards came up.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Orson, you have been accused of colluding with the police station staff to clear your suspicion of crime, so we have to ask you to go back and continue the investigation."

"Well, of course." Orson nodded with a smile, then turned around and waved to Triss.

"Teacher Tris, please say hello to Lit for me."

"Ah."

Afterwards, Orson was taken back to the police station.

This time, at the door of the police station, only Owen was there to greet Orson.

Orson immediately understood how the so-called "charges" were fabricated.
