I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree
Chapter 67 - Cross-dressing?

Not long after Orson walked out of the cathedral, he stopped.

A hurried footsteps also came from behind him.

“Young Master Orson.” Liliya caught up and came to Orson’s side.

“Your Highness the Saintess, are you...?” Orson asked, pretending not to know.

“Regarding that noble you mentioned just now, could you please tell us who it is?”

“Didn’t I already say before? You will know when the time comes.”

“But... why are you so certain?”

Just then, a convoy of guards protected a carriage and headed towards the cathedral on the main street.

“See? Isn’t he coming to find you now?” Orson said this, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

“Your Highness the Saintess, please go back quickly. Something significant is about to happen.”

After speaking, without waiting for Liliya’s reply, Orson’s figure once again disappeared from her sight.

Liliya could only return to the cathedral with annoyance.

...

“The Princess went to the cathedral?” At the military camp outside the city, Arthas sat in his tent, playing with the military tally in his hand, replying distractedly.

Before him was his informant stationed in Saint Roland City.

“Yes, Your Highness the Prince. This afternoon, a person arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Court. He hasn’t come out since he went in. After that, Your Highness the Princess went to the Cathedral with some people.”

“Who was that person?”

“Your subordinate does not know...” the informant said this, lowering his head. “But what is certain is that the Princess’s actions this time are definitely related to the Church.”

“Isn’t that obvious?” Arthas said this, standing up.

“How about this? Prepare the horses now. We will go directly to the Imperial Court. It should be perfectly reasonable to inquire about the case that my sister is in charge of, shouldn’t it?”

“Alright, your subordinate will go and prepare now.”

Subsequently, Arthas took a few people and headed towards the Imperial Court.

With a royal token, the journey was smooth until he arrived in front of the Imperial Court, where he was stopped.

“Apologies, Your Highness the Prince. Her Highness the Princess has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the Imperial Court while the case is being handled. Otherwise, it will affect the investigation of the case.”

Blocking his path was Aphro, Elsa’s confidante and close friend.

Looking at the elven girl before him, Arthas asked in confusion, “May I ask which case my sister is presiding over? Could you please inform me?”

“Apologies, this is confidential...”

“Do you think I would leak secrets?” Arthas showed a hint of displeasure upon seeing Aphro’s strict stance.

“As a member of the Imperial Family, unable to enter the Imperial Court, what kind of ridiculous joke is this?”

“That’s right. Her Highness the Princess is taking herself too seriously. She is clearly just in charge of managing the judicial system. There’s no reason to stop His Highness Arthas from entering, is there?”

At this moment, one of Arthas’s attendants behind him also complained loudly.

Aphro looked at the scene before her, feeling a little afraid, but still mustered her courage and spoke, “Apologies. This matter indeed concerns the future of the Empire. Her Highness the Princess is taking it very seriously. Therefore, the fewer people who know about it, the better. Please, Your Highness the Prince, do not make things difficult for me anymore.”

Arthas couldn’t make things difficult for Aphro. After all, Aphro was from the elven side, and her status seemed to be quite high. Making a move against her would only damage the relationship between the two races.

But this did not mean that Arthas could not force his way in.

“Since you have said that it concerns the future of the Empire, then I, as the Prince, cannot possibly stand by and do nothing.”

Saying this, he made a move as if to push his way in.

However, Aphro still blocked his path.

“What, are you going to stop me?” Arthas raised an eyebrow, looking at Aphro.

“Her Highness the Princess has ordered...” Aphro repeated this sentence.

Just as the powder keg was about to ignite, a familiar voice came from the side.

“Your Highness Arthas!”

Orson walked over from behind, appearing to have rushed there.

“Young Master Orson?” Arthas was a little surprised to see Orson.

“What a coincidence. You said you had something to see me about before, and unexpectedly we met here,” Orson said this, quickly walking forward, coming to Arthas’s and Aphro’s side.

“Young Master Orson, are you here...?”

“Ah, when those nobles were being judged before, some materials were left at the Imperial Court. I plan to take them back and make them public in their territories, so that the common people know how outrageous their lords were.”

“I see,” Arthas nodded.

“Then what about you, Your Highness the Prince? If I remember correctly, the Imperial Court is managed by Her Highness the Princess, isn’t it? Why are you here, Your Highness?”

“Well...” Arthas hesitated for a moment, then still spoke, “Because someone told me today that Elsa went to the cathedral, and I felt it must be a significant event, so I quickly came to see.”

“It seems Your Highness Arthas is still very concerned about Her Highness Elsa’s work,” Orson said this, unsure whether it was praise or something else.

Then, Orson turned his gaze to Aphro, secretly giving Aphro a look.

“If I remember correctly, isn’t this Student Aphro? Why are you blocking the way?”

Aphro was helpless, and repeated the same words as before.

Orson heard this, pondered for a while, then said, “I believe that Your Highness Arthas, being a Prince, is unlikely to do anything detrimental to the Empire. Just let us in. After all, Her Highness Elsa might also make a misjudgment, right?”

“If, because of Her Highness Elsa’s misjudgment, the Empire is put in a disadvantageous position, you probably won’t be able to take responsibility, will you?”

“...” Aphro heard this, could only nod, then moved aside, allowing the few people to enter the Imperial Court.

As soon as Arthas entered the Imperial Court, he went straight to Elsa’s office.

Along the way, he also sent two people to the archives.

This stance, it seemed, was no longer about concern, but directly about searching.

Even Orson couldn’t help but speak up to dissuade him, “Your Highness the Prince, I can understand your concern for Her Highness Elsa, but shouldn’t your actions at this moment be a little more restrained? Otherwise, it will give others something to criticize, and that would not be good.”

Arthas heard this and also nodded.

“Thank you for the reminder.”

Subsequently, Orson did not follow Arthas directly to the office. Instead, he went to the archives.

Then, he was stopped by Aphro.

After confirming that no one was around, Aphro asked in confusion, “Orson, what exactly is going on?”

She knew about the cooperation between Orson and Elsa, and Elsa had also told her to listen to Orson if she wasn’t around.

But from the current situation, it seemed Orson had betrayed Elsa. Why would he lead the wolf into the house?

“Regarding this, you don’t need to worry,” Orson said this, completely confident.

“Do you really think you can stop His Highness Arthas?”

“Instead of that, it’s better to let him in. Anyway, he won’t find anything.”

Saying this, Orson smiled, walked past Aphro, and entered the archives.
