I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree
Chapter 69 - They Won’t Stand Idly By

In the following week, several major events occurred consecutively in Saint Roland City.

First, Odysseus invited Giovanni to Saint Roland City, but Giovanni refused, using the excuse of poor health.

After receiving Giovanni’s reply, the Imperial Court in Saint Roland City held a trial in Giovanni’s absence.

The content of the trial was the cases of Giovanni’s treasonous collusion with the enemy.

From the first beastman invasion eighteen years ago, to the second beastman invasion half a year ago.

At the same time, Giovanni was also sentenced for participating in a secret society and attempting to transform living people into demons, which was the case of Mudrick’s demonization.

As soon as this news spread, the entire nation was in an uproar.

Subsequently, Pope Levi also announced Giovanni’s excommunication from the Church. Levi’s rule became completely illegitimate.

Following this, Duke Lucius of Antica issued an order, and the Antica army immediately marched into the Napoli Duchy.

In response to this situation, the Imperial Academy’s Council and Student Council also held a joint meeting.

“Last semester, due to various reasons, half a semester’s worth of teaching was already delayed. Although this incident is also significant, I believe we should not directly suspend classes,” the representative of the Council stood up to speak, expressing the Council’s thoughts.

The representative from the Student Council side was clearly Orson.

“I understand the Council’s feelings, but under the current circumstances, maintaining fair and normal teaching might be quite difficult,” Orson spoke.

“After all, according to the student records we have, twenty percent of the students are from these two regions, Antica and Napoli. This outbreak of war involves the hometowns of these students.”

“But what about the other eighty percent?” the representative from the Council side asked in return.

“The majority obeys the minority. We cannot stop eating for fear of choking. We cannot suspend all students’ classes just because some students have issues.”

“I understand, so, I have a suggestion,” Orson said this, expressing his idea.

“Teaching will continue as usual, but if any students take a leave of absence due to family reasons, their academic credits will not be deducted. Furthermore, if they fail the first exam upon returning to school, they will have one chance for a penalty-free retake. How about this suggestion?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the members of the Council side nodded.

Ultimately, everyone approved Orson’s plan.

Subsequently, the joint meeting ended, and everyone left the meeting hall.

Just as Orson walked out the door, he was surrounded by several members of the newspaper club.

“President Orson, we heard that there is a war in your hometown, and the opponent is the family of Donny, with whom you previously had issues. So, may we ask if you will take leave to go back and handle this matter? If you go back, what will happen to the Student Council’s affairs?”

“I will not go back,” Orson said this, then added, “I will stay at school. The Student Council’s affairs will not be neglected. At the same time, students do not need to worry. Classes will not be forcibly suspended.”

After saying this, the members of the newspaper club received a satisfactory answer and did not detain Orson any longer.

Returning to the Student Council office, Olivia was sitting in the office.

“Orson, are you really not planning to go back?” Olivia looked at Orson with concern.

Given the strength of the Antica Duchy, if Orson didn’t go back, the cost of taking down the Napoli Duchy might be a little high.

“No need for that. Litte going back is enough. I believe in Litte,” Orson said this, shaking his head.

“I have laid such a good foundation for Litte. If he can’t handle this game, I will truly be disappointed in him.”

Saying this, Orson sat down on the chair.

“Besides, isn’t it good for me to stay here and keep you company?”

“Of course it is,” Olivia smiled and walked behind Orson, gently massaging his shoulders.

“However, I am a little curious. Are you keeping me company~ or do you have other intentions?”

“Is there even a question about that? Of course I am keeping you company.”

“Then I am truly very happy,” Olivia said this, and the force in her hands increased slightly.

“I just wonder if you are also so smooth-tongued with Lianca?”

“Ah?” Orson was startled.

“Olivia, what... what are you talking about? I don’t quite understand.”

“Hmph, you truly don’t understand?” Olivia said this, and recounted what happened that night.

“Lianca’s dance partner, was it you? You, Orson, how dare you hide it from me? As expected, you still have feelings for Lianca?”

“No, no,” Orson shook his head seriously. “Lianca was the one who approached me, and she is your sister. I couldn’t very well refuse.”

“So, it’s my problem?”

“It’s not your problem,” Orson felt a headache coming on when he heard Olivia say this.

“In any case, you danced with Lianca, right?”

“...” Orson was silent for a moment, then nodded.

“Besides that, you didn’t do anything else out of line, did you?”

Orson nodded again.

“Alright, in that case, dance a dance with me too~”

“Eh? Dance here?”

“Mm,” Olivia nodded.

“However, it will be with tongues~”

Saying this, she leaned down, and her face pressed against Orson’s.

...

Napoli Duchy.

Giovanni looked at the intelligence report from Saint Roland City, and in anger, he threw the cup onto the ground.

Ever since the Mudrick incident was exposed before, he had a vague bad feeling.

But seeing that Lodi was still sending him replies, he hadn’t suspected anything.

After all, Lodi had been working for him for so long and was very efficient.

Later, to prevent Lodi from being exposed, Giovanni’s communication with Lodi decreased, but he hadn’t expected Lodi to directly betray him and expose him.

If Giovanni had known earlier that something had happened to Lodi, he would have reacted sooner, and wouldn’t be sitting here waiting for death like this.

“They are all useless! Lodi, how dare you betray me? Who gave you the nerve!” He was raging in his office, shattering and breaking various valuable and exquisite decorations.

It wasn’t until half an hour later that the room door was opened again.

Standing at the entrance was his son, Donny.

“Father, what should we do now?” Donny said this, his eyes filled with fear.

Lucius’s army had already crossed the border, and on the border, the Imperial Family’s army had also gathered, ready for battle.

Giovanni also calmed down at this moment. He looked at Donny and shook his head.

“Copy the letter I am about to write four times and deliver them to the other dukes.”

“If the Napoli Duchy is eliminated, and the Imperial Family and Lucius, who is loyal to the Imperial Family, expand their territory, Imperial authority will expand infinitely. They will not stand idly by.”

Now, he could only hope that the other dukes, who were also local powers, would help him.
