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

Hearing what Arthas said, Luca frowned and tried to think hard. After pondering for a long time, he shook his head.

"Your Majesty, this Shylock you mentioned... I really don't know him. As for the other subordinate who betrayed you, I have never heard of him either."

"Then I'll change someone else."

Of course Arthas knew that Luca wouldn't agree so easily.

After all, the other party has already taken in Sherlock, Phil, and Elsa and others, so they must be ready to challenge me.

"Elsa, the Elsa who murdered my father, she has returned to the Imperial Academy, right? She brought a group of disloyal rebels with her. You can hand them over, right?"

"…I'm sorry, Elsa is a student at the Imperial Academy. We have registered her and she is indeed on campus. Although it is a holiday now, we will not stop students from staying on campus. As for the others, I don't have any information to provide, or rather, I don't know them in the first place."

Seeing that Luca had no idea what was going on, Arthas laughed out loud.

"Dean Luca, no matter how dumb you pretend to be, it's not like this."

He said this, looking at Luca with a hint of menace in his eyes.

"Let me explain a little more. I came to the Imperial College to discuss this with you as the Emperor of the Empire. Please know why the Imperial College can be named after the word 'Empire'."

When Luca heard Arthas say this, he knew that Arthas was a little unhappy, so he quickly comforted him:

"Of course I know that we will never forget the royal family's kindness to the Imperial Academy, but the current situation is special after all..."

"Let me say it again."

Seeing that Luca was still trying to delay, Arthas continued:

"As an emperor, my power is unlimited. The Imperial Academy's board of directors includes so many royal family members and so many people who are truly willing to support you. I think you understand. If you still want to stay in this position until retirement, don't make things difficult for me."

"Of course I won't cause any trouble to you, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Arthas was clearly threatening him, Luca's tone became much more stiff from the initial flattering tone.

"However, Your Majesty, you should also know that the reason why the Imperial Academy has its current status is inseparable from our efforts. Before everything is settled, the Imperial Academy will protect every student. Similarly, Your Majesty, as a former student of the academy, of course you can enter and leave the academy at will. You can find the 'suspects' you think in the academy yourself. As long as you can convince them to leave the academy, we will not stop you."

"So, those court magicians and the two people who betrayed me are not from the Imperial Academy. Dean, are you going to slap the emperor in the face in order to protect them?"

"Didn't you also lock up the Imperial Academy's most proud student? Isn't it obvious who is slapping whose face?"

Seeing that the talks had produced no results, Arthas stood up.

"Your Majesty, you haven't had your tea yet."

Luca said so.

Upon hearing this, Arthas picked up the teacup and then put it down again.

"It's not cold yet."

Having said that, he pushed open the door and left the office of Dean Luca.

After leaving the Imperial Academy and returning to the palace, the first thing Arthas did was to smash some decorations in the palace.

This action frightened the maids and guards so much that they dared not even breathe, for fear that Arthas would vent his anger on them next.

"Why, why is everyone doing the opposite of me!" Arthas shouted loudly in his room.

"Everyone doesn't believe me. What do they know? Do they know the truth?"

"I have been wronged before, too. Why do they all think I did something wrong when I was wronged, but choose to believe others when it comes to others?"

Arthas was very confused, and his heart seemed to be about to collapse.

But then, Arthas was hugged from behind by Rosaline.

After hearing the noise coming from the next room, Rosalin hurried here, but then she saw Arthas who was almost emotionally collapsed.

She said that she didn't want to lose, so after boarding the ship of Alsace, she had only one goal.

That is to keep winning, no matter what, this boat cannot capsize.

Arthas, the helmsman of the ship, is undoubtedly the key to whether the ship capsizes or not. Rosaline must take care of his mentality no matter what.

"Your Majesty, you are not wrong. They are wrong. They just don't understand you."

"Rosaline, can you understand me?" After listening to Rosaline's words, Arthas calmed down a little. Then he turned around and looked at the girl behind him, and asked in a low voice.

When Rosalin saw Arthas like this, even though she felt helpless and regretful, she couldn't show it on her face.

When she realized that Arthas's personality was not suitable for being emperor, it was too late.

When he was a prince, Arthas did everything that interested him and he did it quite well, so he was quite confident. The high-spirited Arthas at that time, just like Orson later, fascinated thousands of girls in the empire. It was also at that time that Rosaline fell in love with Arthas, who was ten years older than her.

However, when she came into contact with Arthas until now, she realized that Arthas's confidence and composure have always been because he has always been in the wind.

His ability to withstand pressure is quite poor.

Even though he has good abilities, once he is in a disadvantageous position, he will become self-doubting, self-stressed, and eventually collapse.

Therefore, he is only suitable for fighting when the wind is in his favor, and he can fight very beautifully when the wind is in his favor. Half a year ago, Arthas was always in the favor of the wind, so no one could understand his weakness.

People like Arthas can win a hundred games but cannot lose once.

Before Odysseus' death, Arthas had a superficial understanding of the emperor. He believed that as long as he became the emperor, everyone would naturally believe in him, obey him, and regard what he said as the truth.

But when the current situation was placed in front of him, he was confused and collapsed.

But by the time Rosalin realized it, it was too late.

What she can do is to help Arthas adjust his mentality so that he can face it with a better attitude.

"Of course I can understand, Your Majesty. You want to be like your father... No, you want to be a greater emperor than your father, so you have been working hard. It's just that you put too much pressure on yourself. In addition, things have not gone well these days, so you seem a little embarrassed."

"But in fact, you are just unlucky. When this period of bad luck is over, you will still become an even greater emperor."

After listening to Rosaline's comfort, Arthas felt better. Then he asked:

"Then... Rosalyn, can you tell me what I should do now?"

When Rosaline saw that Arthas completely trusted her and even placed his hopes on her, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Does Rosalin like Arthas? Of course she does. When she was young, Arthas left an indelible impression on Rosalin. When she grew up, Rosalin successfully came into contact with Arthas. At that time, Arthas did not have a partner.

How could she not like Alsace?

But compared to Arthas, she found that she liked the powerful Arthas more. Marrying him was good, but the best case scenario was to become his partner as queen. Therefore, she had been encouraging Arthas not to give up fighting for the throne and to hold firmly in his hands what originally belonged to him.

Now that she saw that Arthas could completely let go and trust her, she was of course happy.

But this also means that Arthas is no longer confident.

If you have lost confidence in yourself and need to rely on the help and guidance of others to move forward, then talking about success is a bit wishful thinking.

Rosalin was already thinking about how to help Arthas regain his confidence.

She thought for a moment, then said:

"Your Majesty, I have an idea. Since the Imperial Academy wants to protect its students, we should let them do so. However, we can create some incidents within the academy and let the students petition together to expel the people we want from the Imperial Academy. Wouldn't that be good?"

Hearing this idea, Arthas nodded.

"You're right. I was careless before and forgot that I could do this."

"Besides, I have another idea."

Rosalyn continued.

"Tell me."

Arthas asked.

"Well... since the court is unwilling to try Orson, we will hand over the judicial power to a new agency, an agency that is completely under our control. In this way, in addition to trying Orson, we can also use it to try other enemies after quelling the civil unrest."

Rosaline's suggestion made Arthas' eyes light up.

Similar to his idea of ​​firing the Chief Justice today, Alsace's original idea was to replace the Chief Justice, but now it seems that it would be better to directly take back the judicial power and fully control it in the hands of the royal family.

"I also thought of a name for this institution, and named it the Tribunal. Because it is a new institution, the procedures can be set up less strictly, and there is more room for manipulation."

Rules are dead, but people are alive. Because of this, people can exploit loopholes in the rules and make profits for themselves.

But if the rules themselves are alive, it will be easier for those who use and interpret the rules to profit.

Rosaline's idea could play a certain role in the current chaotic situation, but in the long run, doing so would almost uproot the empire's originally somewhat improving spirit of contract and legal awareness.

As soon as the first sprout of the rule of law appeared, it was uprooted and burned to ashes without leaving any trace.

If it were put into later times, Rosalind's idea would definitely be criticized for several pages.

But at this moment, Arthas also felt that this idea was quite clever. It was a good idea to be able to cleverly avoid the original organization and arrest and interrogate his enemies under the new organization.

Then, Arthas hugged Rosaline, kissed her on the cheek, and said:

"You are worthy of being my good queen. I will leave this matter to you!"

"Ok!"

Rosalyn nodded, also full of energy.

……

On the other side, the police station.

"Sherlock hasn't come back yet?" Orson asked, looking at Owen beside him.

When Owen heard this, he shook his head and paused in processing the documents.

"No, when they were leaving the court, the Imperial College sent someone to pick them up. For their safety, I arranged for them to go to the Imperial College."

"Then guess, if the emperor knew you did this, would he remove you from office?"

Orson asked, half jokingly.

Who knew that when Owen heard this, instead of being worried, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"If that's the case, I'd be happy."

He said so.

"I was originally just a high-ranking knight, and all I had to do every day was think about how to improve my martial arts. In this position, I have too many things to think about every day, especially in recent times. Your Majesty has reminded me more than once."

"I think...if I am sitting in this position to violate the original purpose of establishing this position, then it would be better to fire me directly, so that I can live a more comfortable life."

"Only people like you can talk without any pain in your back."

Orson said this as if he was joking with Owen.

"You are an eighth-rank military officer. As long as you are not locked up, you can live comfortably anywhere. If your current position is replaced by someone who has no fighting ability, no other livelihood skills, and is used to a life of luxury, do you think he would be willing to resign voluntarily?"

"It's no use mocking me for pretending to be noble. For someone like me, what good is it even if I have the eighth-level ability?"

Owen sighed.

"The best I can do is live my own life. I don't even know who arrested my colleague, or who released the criminal I was keeping under strict supervision."

"Even if I let you go next, His Majesty will lock me up again, and I may not even be able to live a good life."

"It's you who said that I can live comfortably anywhere. If that's true, I should thank you."

Listening to Owen's words, Orson also felt a rare sense of sympathy.

"You... must have had a hard time. For someone like you with no background to have the status you have today, you must have suffered a lot."

"..."

Owen fell silent.

The two were in Owen's office. After so many things had happened, Owen no longer had the absolute support he had for Arthas.

If Orson ran away now, Owen could take the initiative to apologize.

At this time, there was a knock on the office door and a guard walked in.

"Reporting to Commander Owen, a group of imperial guards have arrived outside the police station, saying that they want to transfer the prisoner Orson to the palace."

"Heh, now you don't care if I'm called a suspect, but just call me a criminal?"

Orson laughed sarcastically and then stood up.

Unexpectedly, Owen also stood up. He came to Orson and patted him on the shoulder.

"You sit here first."

Then he looked at the guard at the door.

"Take me there, and I'll go out and talk to them."
