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

The guards at the door saw Owen coming and quickly let him in.

Owen used the key to unlock Raven's cell, and the scene that appeared before him made him stand there in surprise.

The cell was empty at this moment.

Raven, once a serious criminal of the Empire, has now disappeared.

Seeing this, Owen hurried to the cell door and looked at the two guards at the door.

"Where are the prisoners inside?"

Owen suppressed the anger in his chest and asked.

"Today, a group of knights came with an imperial decree from His Majesty, saying that the raven should be taken away and executed, so we let them take the raven away."

"Do you know where he was taken to be executed?"

"do not know."

The guard shook his head.

Owen was so angry when he heard this that he punched the wall hard, scaring the two guards at the door so much that they broke out in cold sweats and trembled.

He was afraid that Owen's next punch would fall on him.

Thinking about what Orson had just said, Owen immediately thought of someone.

So he went to the palace at night to meet Arthas.

However, at this moment, he saw the sound of fighting coming from the court magician's residence not far away. Fireballs exploded in the air and swords slashed on the barriers. The original royal guards were now in internal turmoil and fighting each other.

In Owen's eyes, only a few days had passed, but the situation in the empire had changed dramatically.

He paused for a few seconds, then ignored the battle in the distance and insisted on heading towards the palace.

However, he was stopped at the gate of the palace.

"I'm going to see His Majesty. I have something important to discuss!" Owen said to the guard at the door in a serious tone.

But the guard just shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Lord Owen, His Majesty is resting with the Queen now. Please don't disturb them, otherwise it will be very difficult for us."

Hearing the other party say this, and hearing such a firm tone, Owen could only turn around angrily.

The next morning, he saw Orson again.

"Am I right? Is the raven missing?"

"He has been executed."

Owen said.

He didn't sleep all night last night and looked much more haggard than before.

"Did you see his body, or are you a smart man willing to believe one side of the story? Then it seems that I have to change my opinion of you."

"..."

Owen was silent.

"We can't help it. Arthas has gone mad. At this point, he is willing to use any trump card, even the felon."

Orson said this and stood up.

"Well, I know you don't want to believe me, so take me to the court now. I want to see what the judges are going to convict me of."

"You don't have to go."

Owen said so.

"What? But weren't you the ones who arrested me?"

Orson raised an eyebrow.

"If you go now, you will just die in vain. It's not worth it to sacrifice your life for a political struggle."

"So, you want to betray Arthas?"

"I will not betray the Empire."

Owen said so.

"Oh, the Empire?"

Orson said this with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Then it seems that you are a smart person."

Orson stood next to Owen.

"But you should still take me to the court. I am sure they can't do anything to me."

"I, Orson, am not someone who would surrender when in danger."

……

On the other side, in Sherlock's room.

These days, she cooperated with Phil to record a batch of confessions. She knew that these confessions would be used against Orson.

Once her evidence is presented in court, coupled with Arthas's arrangements, Orson will definitely not be able to escape trial.

However, Phil had been forcing himself to believe her these days, and Sherlock had no choice but to do as he was told.

After all, even if she refused, those people had plenty of ways to make her speak.

It was morning and Sherlock's door was pushed open by Phil.

"Let's go, Sherlock."

Phil said so.

"Go? Where are you going?"

Sherlock was very puzzled. She had been staying here these days and had no choice but to stay here. Was Phil saying this to test her?

Who knew that Phil saw through Sherlock's thoughts at a glance, and she quickly said:

"I'm not testing you. I've been busy these days and my staff is scattered. Today I finally replaced the people guarding this house with my own people."

She explained, and then continued:

"Today they are going to use the materials I asked you to provide to convict Orson. Come with me to the court now. There is still time."

"But...but aren't you the prince's man?"

"Don't worry about it. Anyway, if you still want to save Orson, follow me now."

Upon hearing this, Sherlock quickly stood up.

"Okay, let's go!"

Chapter 3.1: Retrial on a later date (K)

Sitting in the carriage heading to the Imperial Court, Sherlock looked at Phil in front of him and asked, "Miss Phil, didn't you say before that you were the prince's man? Why are you helping me now?"

"Well, since His Royal Highness is now the Emperor, I have no one to pledge my loyalty to."

Phil joked, then explained: "Well, actually, it doesn't matter who I am loyal to. I just know that we are both getting what we want. You need to tell the truth to the judge of the court, and I have been entrusted by someone to protect Orson. That's all."

After hearing Fei'er's words, Sherlock nodded and then stopped talking.

On the other side, the Imperial Court.

A very important trial is taking place in the Imperial Court today.

This was the first case that the new Emperor Alsace asked the Imperial Court to pay attention to after he ascended the throne. At the same time, Alsace also conveyed his views to the Imperial Court.

Even so, the judges still dare not make random judgments.

After all, the person he is going to judge is Orson!

Orson, the great hero of that empire.

Now everyone with a discerning eye could see that Arthas wanted to eliminate his political enemies through this method, but no one dared to say anything.

The supremacy of imperial power is the only unchanging truth of the empire.

If they disobey the emperor's order, their lives will be in danger.

"Suspect Orson, do you plead guilty?"

The white-bearded chief justice sat in the judge's seat, looking at Orson below the stage and asked with a serious expression.

Just now, the recorded confessions of several witnesses were presented, and many "false testimonies" produced for this case were also displayed one by one.

When Orson saw these evidences, he just laughed at the low-level methods of Arthas in his heart, but he still shook his head firmly on the surface.

"I'm sorry, Lord Chancellor. I still believe that I am not guilty. These are all groundless accusations. None of them are supported by solid evidence."

"So, you suspect that all this evidence is perjury?" the Chief Justice said in a bad tone.

"of course."

At this moment, there were only a few people sitting in the audience seats, all of whom were Arthas's confidants. The reason they came here, in addition to monitoring Orson, was to go through the process so that they could go out and help Arthas clear his name and say that there was no problem with the trial process.

As for neutral people and pro-Osson people, they cannot enter at all.

Of course Orson knew their purpose, and he laughed disdainfully.

Owen watched the trial process progress step by step, and he was extremely anxious.

Orson could have postponed the trial today, but he insisted on coming.

If I had known this would happen, I should have detained Orson in the police station and waited for the Imperial Court to come and arrest him before releasing him.

Seeing that the sentencing process was about to begin, Owen wanted to interrupt the trial, but at this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

"Hey, what are you doing? There's a criminal being tried here right now, you can't go in!"

Then, the door was pushed open, and Sherlock and Phil appeared at the door.

The people present who were acting as agents for Arthas were stunned for a moment.

His Majesty the Emperor didn't say if more people would come later.

"According to the provisions of imperial law, the public has the right to attend all trials of the Imperial Court. What? Am I not a public citizen?" Sherlock said this, refuting the guard at the door, and then looked at the Chief Justice on the bench.

"Am I right, Your Honor?"

"..." Seeing that the other party had cited the imperial law, the Chief Justice naturally could not say anything more.

He had already memorized this stuff, and he knew as soon as he heard whether Sherlock was talking about the above content.

Then, Sherlock glanced at Orson in the dock, who smiled and nodded at Sherlock, without any surprise on his face, as if he had known Sherlock would come.

Then Phil and Orson looked at each other and smiled knowingly at each other.

"Your Honor, I am here to prove that the evidence against Orson is all fake. Someone deliberately did this to frame Orson."

The judge also understood what Sherlock meant at this time.

So this little girl is planning to "rescue the execution ground"?

"You are Sherlock, right?" said the Chief Justice.

"So, as a witness, do you have anything to add?"

"Yes." Sherlock nodded, then walked past the crowd and came to the center.

"The confessions I gave you earlier were all written under duress by others. Their purpose was to ruin Orson's reputation." Sherlock said.

"Orson has never abused his power for personal gain, bullied others, or bribed me in previous investigations."

"Sherlock, do you know that your testimonies are inconsistent and you will be held accountable later?" the Chief Justice said seriously.

"I know, but the situation was special. If I didn't do it, they were going to keep me in prison."

"Then tell me, who was it that imprisoned you and forced you to write those confessions?"

"It's His Majesty the Emperor."

Sherlock said bluntly.

"It was the Emperor's people who forced me to write these things, so I think they did this with the Emperor's instructions."
