I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree -
Chapter 32 - Not Older Sister, But Older Brother
On the other side, Orson was standing at the entrance of the house sending off guests.
The first to leave were a group of nobles led by Duke Giovanni, who had an ordinary relationship with Lucius, or even some bad blood. Following them were a group of nobles led by Duke Lucian and Duke Aragon, who had some acquaintance with Lucius, but not deep.
The last to leave were mostly nobles who had a very good relationship with either Lucius or Orson.
“Your Majesty, you have worked hard,” Orson stood at the entrance, looking at Odysseus who was walking over, and said respectfully.
“I am fine, but Duke Lucius, you must take good care of his health. After all, no one wants to experience something like this.”
“Alright, I will follow Your Majesty’s instructions,” Orson said this, then spoke, “By the way, Your Majesty, I wonder why Her Highness the Princess and His Highness the Prince were unable to come with you this time?”
“Ah, them. They have their own matters,” Odysseus smiled. “Elsa is in the Imperial Capital, responsible for hearing the cases of those derelict nobles. As for Arthas, after this war, he excitedly organized a group of people and began surveying and mapping the entire Empire.”
“Is that so?” Orson nodded. “Congratulations, Your Majesty. Her Highness the Princess and His Highness the Prince, one handling internal affairs and one external, can now fully serve as Your Majesty’s left and right hands.”
“It’s alright,” His Majesty the Emperor heard Orson’s flattery but was not particularly pleased.
“Speaking of which, Orson, Lucius did not designate you as the heir. Will you resent him because of this?”
“No, Your Majesty. The matter of inheritance is Father’s decision. I completely abide by his wishes.”
“In that case, are you interested in serving the Imperial Family?” Odysseus suddenly said.
“This...” Orson was startled upon hearing this.
“Haha, it’s alright. I’m just joking. However, if you truly wish to serve the Imperial Family, Orson, I will definitely welcome you.”
“Then I thank Your Majesty. However, I believe it won’t be long before good news arrives in Saint Roland City.”
“In that case, I will await your good news,” Odysseus said this, patted Orson on the shoulder, and then left.
Orson hadn’t been stunned in place for long when William walked up.
“Young Master Orson, you don’t have to worry too much about the matter of inheritance. Regarding the engagement, Olivia and I have already confirmed that even if you are not the Duke’s heir, we will still proceed with the engagement as planned.” William comforted.
“Duke William, you are worrying too much. I am not particularly bothered by this matter.”
“That’s for the best. In any case, don’t hate your father too much. Although his actions towards you were a little unfair...”
Looking at William’s conciliatory attitude, Orson reluctantly nodded.
“Alright, it’s about time. We should also set off back to the duchy.”
At this moment, William turned his back.
“What about you two? If you have anything to say to Orson, say it quickly.”
“Um... Orson, see you, see you next semester,” Lianca was the first to step forward, saying with a blush.
“Mm, see you next semester,” Orson responded with a smile.
“Or~son~” At this moment, Olivia circled around behind Orson. She whispered softly in Orson’s ear, “That little girl you brought in when you came in just now, after school starts, I hope you can be honest with me~”
Saying this, she smilingly created distance from Orson. Without waiting for Orson’s reply, she pushed William and Lianca away.
After sending off guest after guest, the last guest also came before Orson.
“Celineina, I apologize for making you witness that today,” Orson said awkwardly.
“It’s alright. Nothing that happens in a noble family surprises me,” Celineina shook her head. “But you, Orson, it’s now confirmed that you are not the Duke’s heir. What are you planning to do next?”
“Me? I’ll take it one step at a time. For now, I’ll finish my studies, and then consider my future path.”
“Oh? Are you really thinking that, Orson?”
“Mm,” Orson nodded.
“...” Celineina stared at Orson for a while. After seeing that Orson’s expression did not change, she sighed.
“Sigh, never mind,” Celineina continued to speak, “Orson, do you remember what I told you when the Imperial Capital banquet ended that day?”
“Uh...” Orson was startled. To be honest, he really didn’t remember.
“Sigh, I knew you’d forgotten,” Celineina said helplessly, but there was no anger in her tone. “That day, before we parted, I said that if, I was truly forced, and had to choose a Duke as my backing, I would choose your family. At that time, please don’t dislike me.”
“I think we should change our roles now,” Celineina said this, showing a hint of a smile. “When I was at my most desperate, you appeared and helped me. Therefore, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can definitely come to me.”
“At the very least, I will also keep the position of chief advisor for you here,” Celineina said with a smile, then reached out her finger and lightly poked Orson’s chest.
“I saw how intimate you and your fiancée were just now, you know. You are not allowed to forget me, otherwise, if I get angry, I can’t guarantee I won’t do something irrational.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t,” Orson said this.
“Hehe, that’s good~” Celineina said this, smiling and waving to Orson, then also left the Duke’s mansion.
Only after all the outsiders had left did Orson turn around and walk into the house.
At this moment, two people were facing each other in the living room.
After everyone had left, Litte discovered that there was still an unfamiliar person in the house.
Then she remembered that when Orson returned earlier, a mysterious person wearing a cloak was with him.
Just as Litte was about to approach Laina and ask about her identity, Laina’s cloak slipped off by itself, revealing Laina’s face, as well as a pair of large fox ears on her head.
Litte was startled.
A demi-human!?
What exactly did her older brother bring back from the desert?
Then, the two of them just stared at each other, eyes wide, until Orson walked into the room.
“Um...” Litte was the first to react. She turned her head and looked at Orson.
“Orson, who is this?”
“Ah, this is Laina. She is a friend I met in the desert,” Orson said this.
Then, Laina directly walked to Orson’s side.
“Big brother, who is this older sister?”
“Uh...” Orson was startled.
“Um...” Litte also was startled upon hearing Laina say this.
“She is not an older sister, but an older brother,” Orson was the first to react, then explained.
“Eh? Such a beautiful older sister is actually a boy?” Laina said this, blinking her big eyes and looking at Litte curiously.
