I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree -
Chapter 60 - Help Me Out
“President Orson, appearing here suddenly, are you accompanying your sister-in-law?” Rosalind rested her chin on her hand, smiling slyly at Orson.
“You recognize me?”
“Yes, I am a member of the Student Council after all. I just usually don’t draw much attention to myself in the Student Council.”
“Then I must say you’re very capable. Judging by your personality, you don’t seem like a humble person.”
“Oh, President Orson, really, is that how you evaluate a girl?” Rosalind said coquettishly, then looked up at Orson.
“But I was right after all. President Orson, you indeed wanted to have a private chat with me about something.”
“Shouldn’t you be the one who proactively approached me?”
“That’s true. Well then, shall I go first?”
“Mm,” Orson nodded.
“You must also know that my father is a general of the Empire and is quite sensitive to certain matters.”
“So your meaning is?”
“Father said that in the southern part of the Empire, there might be problems during this period.”
“Young Master Orson, as one of the three southern dukes, you must have heard some rumors, haven’t you?”
“The Duke of Napoli is expanding his army, and your father, the Duke of Antica, is also greatly expanding his army.”
“The threat of the beastmen has almost disappeared, but local nobles are still expanding their armies. This action has seriously threatened the central rule. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor has convened a military meeting to discuss the matters of you two dukes.”
“My father also has some reputation in the Imperial army. If you, Young Master Orson, agree to help me with a small favor, I wouldn’t mind having my father speak well of your family in the Imperial army.”
“That won’t be necessary,” Orson shook his head. “Our family has always believed in having a just cause when going to war. Even if we are expanding the army, if there is no reason to go to war, we will absolutely not mobilize troops.”
“Is that so? Then what if there is friction at the border?”
“I remember that the relationship between the Duke of Napoli and the Duke of Antica was not very good to begin with, was it?”
“If there is a border conflict at this time, how should it be handled?”
“That is our family’s matter. It has nothing to do with the Imperial army.”
Just as Rosalind thought Orson was determined to refuse her, Orson suddenly changed his tune.
“However... Miss Rosalind, I don’t mind knowing if there is anything you need my help with. If it is a small favor, then I will help you, just as if we were making friends.”
“Alright,” Rosalind heard this, showed a joyful expression, and then slowly stated her request.
“As you know, His Highness the Prince is the heir to the future Emperor of the Empire. I hope you can help me connect with His Highness the Prince.”
“Wouldn’t it be more convenient to ask your father for this kind of thing? After all, His Highness the Prince, who has served in the Imperial army for many years, couldn’t possibly not know of General Scaloni’s reputation. Is it really that troublesome for him to arrange a meeting for you?”
“My father is an old stubborn man. He always feels that military personnel should not get too involved in the Imperial Family’s disputes, so he doesn’t allow me to be friends with people from the Imperial Family. Furthermore, I have inquired, and His Highness Arthas has a good relationship with you, especially during the time when you were together fighting against the beastmen.”
“That is true,” Orson nodded.
He had originally thought the other party was coming for him, but it turned out she was coming for Arthas.
This was also good. It saved him the trouble of having another complication around him.
“If possible, I will try my best to arrange a meeting for you. As for the opportunity, you will need to seize it yourself.”
“Alright,” Rosalind said this, showing a satisfied smile. “Then I will await your good news, President Orson.”
Afterward, Rosalind got up and left.
And Lianca also escaped from the group of girls.
Looking at the departing Rosalind, Lianca frowned.
“Orson, why did that Rosalind come to see you again?”
“You’re asking me? Who should I ask?” Orson said this, shrugging helplessly. “Perhaps it’s because I’m too handsome? Seeing me at first glance wasn’t enough for her, and she wants to take off my mask to get a closer look?”
“Hmph, who cares about your face...” Lianca was just about to say something harsh, but then she recalled Orson’s serious and handsome face when he was dancing with her just now. She suddenly couldn’t say it.
“This what?” Orson smiled.
“Nothing!” Lianca quickly shook her head, then picked up the plate of snacks before her and brought it to herself. Completely disregarding the fact that Orson had already taken a bite of one of the snacks, she put the entire piece into her mouth.
Orson looked at Lianca’s way of eating, which did not conform to noble etiquette, and was startled. He wondered if he should remind Lianca that he had already eaten that snack.
After thinking about it, to avoid angering Lianca, he decided against it.
At this moment, a pair of eyes accurately locked onto Lianca and Orson.
Litte was wandering around the ball with Laina. They politely greeted classmates they encountered along the way.
Because of Laina’s racial features, even when she was wearing a mask, she could be recognized at a glance. Therefore, quite a few people had approached the two of them.
After spending a lot of time dealing with the tedious social interactions, Litte finally started wandering with Laina.
The two first went to the catering area to get some food and snacks to eat. Then, while eating, Litte saw Lianca.
With a curious thought, Litte prepared to go and see what Lianca’s dance partner looked like. It was fortunate that she didn’t look; as soon as she did, she was completely stunned.
Why was Lianca’s dance partner Orson?
That’s right. That person must be Orson. She had spent so much time with Orson, and had even slept in the same bed with him. That build, those eyes, that hairstyle, it couldn’t be wrong.
Litte clutched the table with her hands, almost scratching the surface.
This reaction also startled Laina beside her.
“Litte... what’s suddenly wrong with you?”
“Cough, cough, sorry, Laina. My fingernails were a little itchy. It’s much better now,” Litte said this, looking apologetically at Laina.
“Laina, you wait here for me for a moment. I’m going to the restroom.”
“Alright,” Laina nodded, and continued to eat the grilled meat on her plate.
It wasn’t until Litte had been gone for a few seconds that she suddenly looked up.
Wait a minute. The direction to the restroom is not that way, is it?
On the other side, after watching Orson and Lianca for a while, Litte proactively approached the two of them.
“Oh, isn’t this Lianca? Did you find a dance partner you like?”
“Eh? Litte, why are you suddenly here?” Lianca looked at Litte before her. She was startled, then nodded.
“Mm, I found one.”
“Mm,” Litte looked at Orson, then said, “I somehow feel like your dance partner looks very familiar.”
“Uh... maybe it’s just a misunderstanding,” Lianca said, feeling guilty.
After all, she had hidden this matter from Litte.
