I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree
Chapter 59 - Rosalind

“Oh my, who are you, I see, it’s Student Lianca, who ranked second in the first year.” The pink-haired girl seemed to know Lianca, to the extent that she could recognize her even when she was wearing a mask.

“Student Rosalind, isn’t what you’re doing a bit too much?” Lianca said this, frowning and looking at the girl named Rosalind.

“Apologies~” Rosalind said this, putting her hands together. Her attitude seemed very sincere.

“I just saw this gentleman standing alone by the wall, so I thought of inviting him. However, it seems, as a dance partner, Student Lianca, you didn’t tell this gentleman all the information about the ball...”

“That was... I forgot, and, it’s none of your business, is it?”

“That’s true,” Rosalind nodded, then smiled and left with her little followers.

Lianca then sat down angrily, and placed the plate in front of Orson.

“That girl named Rosalind, she seems quite unusual, but I don’t think I’ve heard her name before. Lianca, are you very familiar with her?”

“You could say so,” Lianca nodded. “Rosalind ranked third upon entry, so she has always found Litte and I an eyesore.”

“But this person has very good social skills. Her father is a general in the Empire, so you could say she comes from a military family. Although it’s not a hereditary title, there are still many small nobles who are opportunistic around her.”

“I see...” Orson heard this, nodded, then remembered the current generals of the Empire.

“Is she the daughter of General Scaloni, nicknamed the White Knight? Thinking about it, it seems only his age matches.”

“Mm,” Lianca nodded.

This kind of military family, although not hereditary nobles at the moment, had potential.

Like Orson’s family, Lucius also came from a military background, but later became a new Duke.

And before Lucius, if they could rise to the upper echelons of the Empire, senior military officials like generals would basically be granted a fiefdom upon retirement, even if they didn’t have one originally, becoming counts or barons.

Although the feudal system was in place, the land in the Empire had not remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Sometimes, a noble who ruled a piece of land died without an heir or committed a serious crime, and the land would return to the Imperial Family’s hands. This kind of land would also generally be granted to meritorious individuals by the Imperial Family, and among them, the first choice would be the generals who had fought for the Empire, risking their lives.

Orson picked up a skewer and skewered a piece of fruit, putting it into his mouth and chewing.

“Speaking of which, Orson, you are truly popular. Someone wanted to invite you as soon as you came in, and after I left for a while, someone found you again.”

“Perhaps... my charm is too great? Those pure-hearted girls can’t walk straight as soon as they see me?”

“Pfft, shameless,” Lianca cursed softly, then started eating the food on her plate.

Just at this moment, the atmosphere of the ball also gradually became lively.

Many people had already walked onto the center of the stage and started dancing to the music.

“Orson, do you want to... try dancing together?” Just at this moment, Lianca also gathered her courage and asked Orson.

“Alright, I have no objection,” Orson nodded, then stood up.

“But let me say this first. If you dance poorly or are laughed at by the people around you, don’t blame me.”

“I won’t. I don’t dance very well myself either...” Lianca was not as arrogant this time. Instead, she politely replied with a blush on her face.

One song ended. The two walked onto the stage together. The next song was about to begin.

Orson reached out his hand. One hand held Lianca’s hand, and the other was around her waist.

This common movement in dancing, at this moment, made Lianca’s heart pound and her face blush incessantly.

“Lianca? Are you not feeling well?” Feeling Lianca’s body in his arms slightly stiff, Orson looked at her in confusion.

“N-no,” Lianca shook her head. “I just... suddenly forgot how to move...”

At this moment, Lianca was so nervous that she had completely forgotten all the dance steps she had temporarily learned.

Helplessly, Orson could only whisper in her ear, “Then, Lianca, just follow my rhythm later.”

“Alright, alright,” Lianca nodded with a blush.

Subsequently, the music’s prelude slowly began. The people on the stage started moving. Orson’s group was no exception.

Following Orson’s lead, Lianca slowly adapted to the rhythm, and her tense mood also calmed down.

Indeed, Orson had a power that made people feel very at ease.

Just as Lianca was thinking this, she looked up at the side of Orson’s face.

So, Orson was that handsome?

Instantly, Lianca’s heart pounded and her face turned red again.

The steps she had just been following smoothly with Orson became chaotic again. She even stepped on Orson’s feet a few times.

“I’m... I’m sorry,” Lianca quickly apologized.

But Orson did not respond to Lianca. He simply guided her upper body with slight force, making her steps move along with her upper body again.

“This will do,” Only when their rhythm matched again did Orson speak.

He didn’t mention anything about Lianca stepping on his feet several times.

“Just now, you seemed nervous again. What happened?”

“I...” Although at this moment Lianca’s heart was still pounding, one song ended, and Orson and Lianca walked off the stage.

“I’m sorry, Orson. I was too nervous just now.”

“It’s alright,” Orson shook his head. “You probably don’t like dancing very much, do you?”

“That’s true,” Lianca nodded.

If it wasn’t to be with Orson, she definitely wouldn’t have gone on stage.

At this moment, a few more girls surrounded them.

“Hey? Student Lianca, long time no see. Do you still remember us?”

“Uh, ladies, who are you?”

“Oh dear, it’s only been a few days and you’ve forgotten us? Come on, come on, let’s chat for a bit. We also have newly mixed drinks over there,” The girls said this, and made a gesture as if to pull Lianca away.

Seeing the other party being so enthusiastic, Lianca didn’t know how to refuse. She could only cast a pleading look at Orson.

“Alright, Lianca, go and chat with your friends. Isn’t this ball also to cultivate your social skills?” Orson said with a smile.

“Oh my, this young man is quite sensible. What a pity. We are a group of girls chatting. There might be some private topics, so we can’t bring you along~” A girl said in a sweet voice.

Subsequently, a few people pulled Lianca aside.

And then, Orson sat alone in the spot where he and Lianca had been just now.

As expected, after a few seconds, Rosalind appeared before him again.
