I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree
Chapter 79 - Will You Be Disappointed?

But as Henry’s understanding of this world’s information deepened, he felt increasingly uneasy.

First and foremost was Orson.

In his original memory, this leading figure of the Empire’s younger generation, an absolute prodigy, had already been disgraced before his father’s assassination due to the breakdown of his relationship with his brother Litte, coupled with the exposure of his covert schemes and tricks against Litte. However, he actually saw Orson and Elsa sitting together.

Henry naturally knew Orson. The two families were still in-laws before Mary’s incident, and they had interactions with each other. The relationship between the two families had remained quite good until Orson’s incident. After Mary was also exposed and expelled from the family, the two families ceased contact.

Henry remembered the details of Orson’s past clearly. In front of everyone, in the battle that gambled the future inheritance of the family, Orson used power from a demon.

And even so, he couldn’t defeat Litte.

After his defeat, Orson lost all his power, and his final whereabouts were unknown.

Henry was very strange. Although he had transmigrated back, the timeline seemed to have undergone some changes.

In the past few days, he learned that Orson and Litte were not enemies like in the previous timeline. Instead, they were cooperating and working together to develop the Antica Duchy and repel the beastmen’s attack.

With this achievement, Orson did not suffer disgrace like in Henry’s previous life. Instead, he became a great hero of the Empire, and his reputation even surpassed some dukes.

However, all of this was achieved by Orson giving up his right of inheritance.

This left Henry very confused.

In his previous life, Orson had clearly had an irreconcilable conflict with Litte over the right of inheritance. But now, not only was there no conflict, the relationship between the two brothers was very good.

Could it be that this Orson is also a reincarnator?

This thought remained in Henry’s mind for a brief moment. He ultimately shook his head.

It should be impossible. It was just that the timeline he had transmigrated back to had changed.

Thinking this, Henry got up and went to the basement of the ducal mansion.

At this moment, the basement had been converted into a prison cell, and a middle-aged man was restrained by iron chains on his limbs, shrinking tightly in a corner of the cell.

He was the person who had left a deep shadow on Henry in the past, the Count of the Orleans Duchy, Fulton.

“Count Fulton, long time no see,” Henry said with a smile, looking at the man before him.

“Long time no see, Your Grace Duke Henry.” The middle-aged man named Fulton no longer had the dignity he had in his previous life. His beard and hair were messy, and he looked like he hadn’t bathed in a long time, emitting an unpleasant smell.

“Who would have thought you would have such a down and out day,” Henry snorted coldly.

“I don’t quite understand, Your Grace. Why are you keeping me here? It’s just the two of us here. Let’s speak frankly. You yourself know what those charges are all about,” Fulton said this, raising his head, looking at Henry calmly.

“It’s normal for you not to understand,” Henry said this, sitting down before Fulton.

“I’ll tell you directly. In the future, you will incite Uncle Sean to usurp the regency, and then seize all the power of the entire Orleans Duchy for yourself. Even when I become an adult in the future, you will still firmly hold onto political power, unwilling to relinquish it.”

“Tell me, for a power-hungry official like you with great ambition and ability, if I don’t confine you now before you have developed, do you expect me to wait until you have gained the trust of Uncle Sean and made me a puppet before I resist?”

“Heh, Your Grace Duke Henry, aren’t you being a little too worried?” Fulton heard Henry say this, his heart filled with disdain.

Only a three-year-old child would believe this kind of reason, wouldn’t they?

Leaving aside the fact that he was currently only a count, even if he were to gain Sean’s trust as Henry said, how could he possibly sideline the Duke? Was the Emperor blind?

“Your Grace Duke Henry, does your own words, when you hear them, sound credible? You are not a reincarnator from the future.”

“Heh, is that truly the case?”

“Do you really think that I am not a reincarnator from the future?”

Fulton’s eyes instantly widened.

“But... even if you, Your Grace Duke Henry, are from the future, I haven’t done anything wrong now, have I? Imprisoning me like this is against the laws of the Empire, isn’t it?”

“Mm, perhaps that is indeed the case,” Henry nodded, “However, I do not regret it. After all, I am here to ‘avenge’ myself.”

He emphasized the word “avenge.” Then, he stood up.

“Count Fulton, you can just obediently wait to die in this dungeon. No one will come to save you.”

Regarding the matter of him being a reincarnator, Henry only intended to let himself and Sean know. Telling Fulton that he was a reincarnator made his intention very clear.

He would not leave this place alive.

Just as Henry walked up one level from the dungeon, Sean was already waiting for him in the living room.

“Your Grace, the family members of Fulton are causing trouble outside the mansion. They are saying that Fulton was wronged and will not leave until Fulton is released.”

“Do not pay attention to them,” Henry waved his hand. “The charges are already very clear. He must be punished.”

“If they insist on rebelling, they can see the consequences of disobeying the Duke.”

“I understand,” Sean nodded. “Then, there is one more question, about Francois. The Imperial Family has been reporting real-time progress to us during their investigation recently, but for the past two days, for some reason, there have been no reports. They say there has been no progress.”

“How can there be no progress?!” Henry said this, his emotions suddenly becoming agitated.

It was like this in his previous life. The Imperial Family investigated and investigated, and then suddenly there was no news. In the end, it concluded as an unsolved case. This also became a knot in Henry’s heart that he could never untie.

“They are covering it up. It must be! Quickly contact Saint Roland City and have our people take action quickly. We absolutely cannot wait until the Imperial Family has destroyed all the evidence before investigating.”

“Yes! I understand!”

...

On the other side, Saint Roland City.

Orson stood at the entrance of the Imperial Court.

Just yesterday, Odysseus personally ordered the disbanding of the entire special investigation team responsible for investigating the Francois assassination case, citing lack of progress, and established a new investigation team.

And now, a group of soldiers were at the entrance of the Imperial Court, moving boxes and boxes of documents out of the court, preparing to transport them into the Imperial Palace for safekeeping.

“It seems His Majesty is determined to protect His Highness the Prince,” Orson said slowly.

Elsa, who was beside him, also sighed.

“There’s nothing we can do. This matter is simply too sensitive. Even if he didn’t want to protect the Prince, for the reputation of the Imperial Family, he must forcefully get through this period.”

“This is the Imperial Family, Orson. Will you be disappointed in Father and the Imperial Family?”
