I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree
Chapter 50 - Scene of Conflict

“Uh... no.” Orson shook his head.

Just as Dorothy heard Orson say this and breathed a sigh of relief, Orson suddenly continued, “She is my fiancée.”

“Ah, that’s good... Eh eh eh eh eh eh?!” Dorothy’s gaze instantly carried a hint of shock, as if one could see her pupils trembling.

“Wait... wait a moment. Although I don’t really pay attention to outside gossip, isn’t this a bit too fast?! You’re not even twenty yet, are you? You’re getting married already?”

Looking at Dorothy, who had fallen into a panic in an instant, Olivia chuckled.

“Um, Miss Dorothy, this matter is a bit complicated to explain, but when I met you back then, I actually already had an engagement.”

“I see...” Dorothy heard this, and her mood inexplicably became a little low.

“Anyway, I would like to ask if there have been any new books in the library in the past few years?”

“There are indeed new books, but...” Dorothy thought for a moment, then said, “For you, Orson, there might not be that many ‘useful’ books. After all, the books published in recent years, in terms of research direction, are simply those things that have already been thoroughly researched. If you want to read them, they are in the fifth section.”

“Alright,” Orson heard this, nodded, and then walked into the library with Olivia.

Dorothy looked at the backs of the two and pouted.

She had thought that since Orson hadn’t come to see her for so many years, he had specially come to see her this time. She hadn’t expected him to bring his fiancée here for a date.

For a moment, Dorothy even wanted to run to the Imperial Academy and report Orson for skipping class to go on a date.

However, I truly miss it.

Ten years, perhaps just a short time in her life, but for humans, it could bring about such great changes.

Dorothy was indeed not human, but her race was currently unknown to others.

Not a witch or an elf, her true race was the Dragon race, which had been in hiding in the Western Continent for a long time and had not appeared for a thousand years.

And she was also an extremely noble Silver Dragon among the Dragon race.

Before becoming a librarian at the Imperial Library, she had also stayed in other places as a librarian for a period of time.

Her purpose was, while traveling and witnessing customs and traditions, to read all the books in the libraries.

And ten years, for her as a Dragon, was just a period of time during her travels.

She had previously settled down in the mostly exclusive Elven Kingdom with her knowledge and had lived there for over a hundred years.

After a hundred years, she finished learning the knowledge of the Elven race and then left the Elven race. She then journeyed through several human cities and finally settled down in Saint Roland City.

In these ten years, besides the monotonous reading day after day, what added color to her calm life was Orson, who also quietly read.

...

On the other side, Orson and Olivia walked into the library. After moving away from Dorothy, Olivia turned to look at Orson.

“Orson, that older sister just now looked really beautiful.”

“Cough, cough, she looked like that ten years ago,” Orson said this. His intention was to let Olivia know that the other party’s race was not simple, but Olivia misunderstood him.

“Ten years? Tsk tsk tsk, so she was playing the ‘raising’ game, huh?” Olivia keenly caught the information about time in Orson’s words, then said with a smile, “So, did I cut in halfway?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Miss Dorothy and I are just reading friends. She is a very knowledgeable person.” After Orson finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and paused his steps.

Noticing Orson’s movement, Olivia turned her head to look at Orson in confusion.

“What’s wrong?”

“I suddenly remembered something,” Orson said this, shaking his head. “Never mind. I’ll talk about it later. Let’s browse for now. Olivia, what kind of books do you like?”

“Me? I usually like to read knight-style novels the most,” Olivia tapped her chin with her finger, then spoke. “After all, the scheming among nobles is already tiring. You definitely need to read some lighthearted and pleasant books to relax.”

“Mm... In that case...” Orson thought this, and led Olivia to the third section of the library.

“There are quite a few similar books in the third section, Olivia. Do you want me to choose one for you, or do you want to look yourself?”

“Hehe... Orson, you choose for me~”

Hearing Olivia’s words, Orson searched the bookshelves for a while and finally found a book.

“The Epic of Lukedwen,” Orson said this, handing the book to Olivia. “You should like this one.”

“Okay~” Olivia agreed, then sat at a window-side reading desk with Orson, and the two of them read a book together like that.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Olivia chose a spot not far from the entrance, and there was no one around. It was precisely at an angle where Dorothy could see the two of them whenever she looked up.

Indeed, Dorothy was a little tired from reading. When she looked up to relax by looking out the window, she just happened to see Orson and Olivia sitting together not far away, reading a book together.

The sticky closeness of the two of them made Dorothy, who had been single for who knows how long, feel a tingling sensation in her scalp, followed by a strange sense of irritation.

She lowered her head and continued reading, but after only a few glances, she couldn’t help but look up again to observe the interaction between Orson and Olivia.

This way, she couldn’t even read her book properly.

But she couldn’t just go up and interrupt the sweet interaction between the young couple, could she? Otherwise, Orson might become averse to her.

She certainly didn’t want to lose one of her few reading friends.

And so, an entire morning passed like this. In the end, Dorothy didn’t even read anymore. Instead, she sat at the front desk with a cup of tea, watching the interaction between Orson and Olivia with a blank expression.

Especially the scene where the two of them simultaneously wanted to turn a page, their hands touched, then quickly separated, and then they exchanged a smile. Seeing this, Dorothy couldn’t help but want to go up and tear the book the two of them were reading to pieces.

Finally, the not-so-long “The Epic of Lukedwen” was finished. Orson saw that it was approaching noon, and prepared to leave with Olivia.

“Finished?” Dorothy said this with a blank expression, watching the two of them walk towards her.

“Uh... ah, yes,” Orson saw Dorothy like this. Although he didn’t know what had happened to her, he somehow felt it was related to him, so he nodded awkwardly.

“Then take care. Come and chat with me when you have time,” Dorothy said this, waving to Orson.

“Mm, Miss Dorothy, where do you live now?” Just at this moment, Orson suddenly asked.

“Eh? Why are you asking that?” Dorothy was startled.

Olivia on the side heard Orson’s words, and her hands quietly touched Orson’s waist.

“Mainly, there are some things I would like to ask you, Miss Dorothy.”

“Alright, my home is at Number 38, Asbestos Street, West City. Orson, whenever you come, let me know in advance, and I’ll prepare something to eat to host you.”

“That won’t be necessary. I just have some questions I’d like to ask for answers to,” Orson said this, smiled, and then pulled Olivia out of the library.

Just as he walked out of the library, Orson felt a pain in his waist.

Olivia finally couldn’t help but make a move.

“Flirting with another girl in front of your fiancée, is this acceptable? Is it acceptable, acceptable, acceptable?” Olivia said coquettishly.

The romantic atmosphere that had been fostered by reading together with Orson just now vanished in an instant with Orson’s actions.

“Cough, cough, Olivia, listen to me explain,” Orson said this, explaining, “Didn’t I just say that Miss Dorothy is very knowledgeable? It just so happens that I’ve recently encountered some problems that I would like to seek answers to, and I think Miss Dorothy should know.”

“Alright,” Olivia accepted Orson’s explanation.

After all, Orson was a complete utilitarian. When he proactively sought someone out, it was definitely not to hit on them because they were pretty, but because he had other intentions.

Now that Orson had told Olivia the purpose of seeking out the other party, Olivia also reluctantly accepted this explanation.

“However...” There was a hint of worry in Olivia’s words. “Since it’s a problem that even you, Orson, can’t solve, can seeking help from someone else really solve it?”

After all, in her opinion, Orson’s knowledge surpassed that of most people in the Empire. If it was a problem that even he found somewhat difficult, then it was definitely not something that an ordinary person could solve.

“I don’t know...” Orson shook his head.

As for whether Dorothy could solve Orson’s problem, Orson himself didn’t know, but he vaguely felt that if Dorothy’s race was indeed as he suspected, and she was quite experienced, she could most likely help him.

After a small interlude, Orson and Olivia found a restaurant nearby.

Not long after the two had taken their seats, a graceful figure appeared beside them.

“Good afternoon, Young Master Orson, Miss Olivia.”

Familiar red hair and golden eyes, neat and tidy attire. Orson knew who the other party was just by hearing the voice.

Clearly, today’s date with Olivia would not be very pleasant looking.

And Olivia, upon seeing Celineina’s figure suddenly appear, also narrowed her eyes and looked at Celineina.

“I truly didn’t expect, Miss Celineina, that you would actually have the leisure to pay attention to Orson and I. Your trading company should be in a business war with the Silver Moon Trading Company recently, right?”

“I couldn’t help it. I just recently bought this restaurant and was processing the paperwork here today when you two arrived. What a coincidence,” Celineina said this, sitting down opposite Orson and Olivia.

“It’s just about noon as well. You two, this meal is on me. How about it?”
