I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree
Chapter 89 - Ambushed

A mysterious person suddenly burst into the investigation scene and attacked the guards responsible for security at the scene. This incident can be said to have instantly attracted the attention of all forces in Saint Roland City.

Whether it was the Duke of Orleans, who was eager to find the true cause of Francois’s death, or the Imperial Family, who had diverted the issue but found that things had exceeded their expectations, they were all instantly a little at a loss.

In the eyes of the Imperial Family, the investigation of the Hidden Orchid Tavern only required convicting the head of the other party, and then killing a few typical representatives to appease the anger of the Duke of Orleans. However, the current situation exceeded the Imperial Family’s expectations.

Could it be that the Hidden Orchid Tavern is truly the real mastermind behind the scenes?

In any case, something like this happening was definitely something the Imperial Family was happy to see. After all, this way, the Imperial Family’s suspicion could be cleared a little more.

After all, the mysterious person was not sent by the Imperial Family. After capturing the mysterious person, they could also take the opportunity to pin the crime on the other party and resolve this incident.

Therefore, the Imperial Family almost immediately, upon receiving this intelligence, dispatched several experts above Tier 7 to search for the whereabouts of the opponent in Saint Roland City. They even prepared to borrow some capable people from the Imperial Academy to help.

However, until dark, the whereabouts of the mysterious person were not found. Instead, a severely injured Orson was discovered on the outskirts of the city.

The personnel dispatched by the Imperial Family to track the mysterious person found traces of battle in a forest on the outskirts of the city. Following the traces, they found Orson, sitting by a tree, clutching his abdomen.

“Young Master Orson, are you alright?!” A middle-aged man in the search party said this, and quickly came to Orson’s side.

The Imperial Family naturally knew that Orson had chased after the person. Therefore, this search party, besides looking for the culprit, also had another mission, which was to bring Orson back. Otherwise, if the eldest son of the Duke of Antica also died in Saint Roland City, the Imperial Family would completely lose their ally. At that time, the Empire would inevitably face a bloodbath.

“It’s alright...” Orson said this, shaking his head weakly. “I’m alright. You... hurry and catch the culprit... I just fought with the other party. That person is very strong. I am not his match.”

“But, Young Master Orson, you are bleeding now...” the man said this, looking at Orson’s hand clutching his abdomen. At this moment, his palm was already stained red with blood. The dark red bloodstains could be seen clearly even at night.

“Catching the person is important... I’m alright...”

Before Orson could finish speaking, his vision went dark, and he immediately fainted.

The other party no longer cared about chasing the person. They immediately took Orson back to Saint Roland City and sent him directly into the Imperial Palace to receive treatment.

After receiving this news, Odysseus also quickly rushed to Orson’s side.

Fortunately, the palace physician’s diagnosis was just excessive physical exertion, and the wound on his abdomen was not deep. It was only excessive bleeding and did not threaten his life.

Hearing this diagnosis, the weight on Odysseus’s heart was finally lifted.

He had high hopes for this young man, regarding Orson as the hope of the future Empire. If the future of the Empire were to die here, it would be more painful than losing ten generals.

Orson groggily opened his eyes, looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, and then looked around.

There was a familiar person beside him.

It should be late night now. This seemed to be a certain chamber in the Imperial Palace. Elsa was sleeping on a table not far away.

Orson looked at the quilt on the bed.

Mm, it was pink.

So he was carried to Elsa’s chamber after he fainted?

“...Your Highness the Princess, this is not very appropriate,” Orson said slowly.

Elsa’s rhythmic breathing at the table suddenly paused.

“Alright, stop pretending. I know you’re not asleep.”

“How did you know?” Elsa heard this and no longer pretended. She sat up directly and looked at Orson.

She just didn’t know why, but her face seemed a little red.

“You still haven’t answered my question. Is it really alright for me to rest here with you?”

“For now, you can only rest here with me,” Elsa said, shrugging helplessly. “You were already unconscious when you were found outside. The person who saved you immediately took you to the Imperial Palace. At that time, I was the only one in the Imperial Palace, so I brought you here. Otherwise, it is so dangerous outside now, aren’t you afraid that the culprit will directly take your life while you are weak?”

“Furthermore, you are my ally, after all. I think it’s better to settle you here with me than to settle you with my brother. This can also be considered my selfish intention.”

“Alright,” Orson heard this and nodded helplessly.

“In any case, you need to rest and recover now. Get some rest early. If you want me to leave, I can also leave this place to you.”

Elsa said this.

“Let’s not be in a hurry to leave. Your Highness the Princess, is there nothing you want to ask me?”

“...Of course there is,” Elsa was exposed in her little secret by Orson, but she wasn’t too surprised. Instead, she said calmly.

“There are many things I want to ask you. Why did you chase after him? How strong is that person exactly? Why didn’t that person finish you off directly...”

“Many things, but how many of them are you willing to truly tell me now?”

“As long as Your Highness the Princess asks, I will definitely tell you everything I know,” Orson said this.

“Let’s skip the pleasantries,” Elsa shook her head helplessly. “In any case, if you recover well tomorrow, you can move out. However, Father said he must arrange two Tier 7 bodyguards by your side. I am just letting you know in advance.”

“Mm, I am very grateful for His Majesty’s kindness, but the high-level combat power at hand should not be used on me. Instead, it should be used to capture that person, shouldn’t it?”

“But you are a person of influence, after all. If you were to be harmed in Saint Roland City, it would be the Imperial Family’s responsibility. One Duke has already died. If more were to follow, not only the Imperial Family, but the entire Empire cannot bear the consequences...”

Orson heard this and said nothing.

A strange silence fell between the two of them again.

“By the way.”

Perhaps to break the awkward atmosphere between them, Elsa changed the topic.

“Your fiancée came to see you while you were unconscious. She was a little emotional. Now that you are alright, should I send someone to inform her?”

“Alright,” Orson nodded.

But at this moment, he was thinking about how to persuade Odysseus to withdraw the security forces around him tomorrow.

After all, although these security forces could protect his safety, they also, in a way, restricted his freedom. Odysseus doing this was not a good thing for him.

However, if he were too assertive, it would also make others suspicious of him.

“Your Highness the Princess, I wonder if you could do me a favor?”

Orson thought hard for a long time, and finally came up with a good method.
