My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

"The Brontës," Orson began. "This play mainly tells the story of the children of the Bronte family who, in order to compete for the position of the head of the family, plot to assassinate each other. However, during a crisis, the children realized that only by uniting can they overcome the difficulties. Subsequently, the children who originally hated each other It’s a story about family members reuniting and working together to help build the family and ultimately make it prosperous.”

"What do you think of this play, Orson?" Elsa asked.

"It's a good comedy and also educational." Orson replied. "After all, in history, many aristocratic families eventually declined due to internal strife."

"This drama absorbs the lessons of those events in history and is intended to trigger reflection among the upper classes."

"You're right." Elsa nodded. "But the only lesson that people learn from history is that people never learn from history, right?"

"Maybe so." Orson nodded. "I wonder why Her Royal Highness the Princess asks me these things?"

"Orson, you should know." Elsa said. "The current script of "The Brontës" has actually been revised. In the original script, only one person in the Brontë family survived in the end."

"Neither the smart eldest brother, nor the brave second brother, nor the handsome third brother."

"But the most inconspicuous little girl." Orson said. "Your Highness, that's what you want to say, right?"

"That's right." Elsa nodded. "It seems that you have also read the original manuscript of this play, Orson."

"Yeah." Orson said with a smile. "Because the current content of this drama was written by me, and of course I have read the original manuscript."

"..." Elsa heard this and glanced at Orson in surprise. "I didn't expect you to be so good at drama, Orson."

But thinking about it, Elsa felt relieved.

After all, Orson is a person who can publish books in the Imperial Library, so adapting a play is really a piece of cake for him.

"Since you adapted this play, Orson, can you tell me why you adapted it this way?" Elsa said, also showing a smile.

"The reason? It's actually very simple, because the nobles like to see it this way." Orson told his thoughts.

"After all, executioners covered in blood often like to listen to romantic stories, and this is no exception in any era."

"Compared to satirical dramas that expose the darkness among the upper class, it is obvious that these dramas that whitewash peace have more commercial value. This is why the audience did not know "The Brontës" before the adaptation, and after the adaptation, this drama The reason why the show became a hit so quickly.”

"Things like dramas and musicals are specially provided for the entertainment of the upper class. The people of the lower class usually don't care about these at all. Therefore, we have to consider the aesthetics of the upper class. If the upper class likes to watch, they can change it in the direction they want to get. success."

Saying this, Orson sighed instead.

"Actually, I don't like this script at all. In my opinion, many of the plots in it are not subtle at all, or even reasonable, including the change of feelings between several brothers and sisters, which gives people a very abrupt feeling. feeling.”

"Then why do you want to change it like this, Orson?" Elsa asked.

"The reason I have said before is that the highest ideal of a playwright is to have more people recognize his work, rather than to create a work that only he can be intoxicated by."

"I really don't understand you anymore, Orson."

"Similarly, I don't understand you, Princess."

"So, back to the previous topic, Orson, what do you think about the succession of the throne?

This thing? "

"If you ask me what I think, of course I will support the emperor and future emperors." Orson gave a rather cunning answer.

"Ha, this answer really sounds like Mr. Orson's style." Elsa said this, without being upset, but continued to ask: "Then, if I say, I want to get your help, Will you help me?"

"What I want to say has already been answered by Your Highness Princess in the previous sentence." Orson was still neither humble nor overbearing.

"Do you think it is really good to hand over the future of the country to the royal brother?" Elsa asked next.

"I don't know, but it is a serious crime for a subject to interfere with the lord's inheritance. I don't want to bring disaster to Chi Yu, and..."

"And what?"

"Your Highness, you must be thinking that I am the future Duke of Antica, so you want to win over me like this, right?" Orson said. "Then what if I tell Her Highness the Princess that the future Duke of Antica will be Lite?"

"Will you try to gain Lee Teuk's support?"

"Orson, are you kidding?" Elsa looked at Orson in confusion. "Or do you think the position of Duke is of no importance at all?"

"I'm not kidding." Orson shook his head. "Although the outside world is currently talking about the Duke's heir, as an insider, I can tell Her Royal Highness that the position of Duke of Antica in the future will definitely belong to Li Te."

"I, Orson, have been raised by the Duke of Antica, my father Lucius, for more than ten years. Lite is his flesh and blood. Of course I will not usurp the family's inheritance."

Regarding the fact that Orson is not Lucius's biological son, the upper echelons of the empire basically already know. Some of them look down on Orson because of their blood relationship, but most people still respect Orson because of his strength. of.

"However, Orson, I think you still need to think about it. Lucius didn't rule you out as the heir, right?" Elsa said. "Besides, Li Te can only be regarded as a mediocre heir at the moment. He is far less capable than you, Orson. Do you really feel free to leave everything in the family to him?"

"Obviously he's just a casual addition, right? Even though you're not related by blood, you've done far more for the family than Lit, right?!"

"Orson, are you really willing to do this?" As she said this, Elsa's tone trembled a little, as if she really felt unworthy of Orson.

"Your Highness Elsa, if you really do it for my own good, then I appreciate your kindness." Orson said. "But, you know, what does this look like to me?"

"You think that my ability is very powerful, so you think that I will be more helpful to you after ascending to the position of Duke, so you came to win me over."

"And now that you see that I don't want to become a duke, you are a little anxious and feel that all your previous preparations have failed, don't you?"

"Orson, that's not what I meant..." Elsa said, "I just..."

"Okay, Your Highness Princess, please take a closer look at the drama performed today. I have also made changes to the script for today's performance. You should gain something by watching it at the end."

"As for the rest, I won't say much more. I wish you a happy viewing of the show." As he said this, he walked out of the box.

Elsa was left here alone.

After walking out of the box, before he could go downstairs, several guards in gorgeous clothes walked up.

"Mr. Osun, His Royal Highness invites you."

"Okay." Orson nodded after hearing this, and then walked into Alsace's box.

"Orson, I heard that you were in Elsa's box just now?" As soon as he entered the box, Orson saw Alsace drinking red wine alone.

"Yeah." Orson nodded.

"Elsa, what did she talk to you about?" Hearing this, Alsace raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Orson.

"There's nothing to talk about." Orson said, smiling awkwardly.

"Let me guess, could it be that Elsa wants you to support her in the succession to the throne?"

"Yes." Seeing that Alsace had made it clear, Orson certainly didn't hide anything. "Her Highness Elsa wanted me to help her, but I felt that the succession to the throne has always been a family matter of the royal family. As outsiders, it is not convenient for us to intervene, so I rejected her."

"Indeed." Arthas nodded. "This matter is originally an internal matter within the family, but unfortunately, the Lancaster family stands at the top of the empire, and there are always some little eyesless bugs below who covet the family's position."

Seeing that Alsace seemed to mean something, Orson also smiled lightly and did not show any signs of it.

Show your emotions.

"But Orson, are you sure you won't think about what I told you during the day?" Alsace asked. "It is said that adding icing on the cake is not as good as providing help in times of need. If you join me now, you will definitely become the second person in the empire in the future."

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Alsace, I have a poor life and don't dare to have too many ambitions. I can't even talk about being the second person in the empire." Orson said this and bowed his head in greeting. "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. There are still people waiting for me."

"Okay." Alsace nodded.

He just needed to make sure Orson didn't fall towards Elsa.

After all, if Orson falls to Elsa, and the Duchy of Antica and the allied Duke of Prussia support Elsa, there will be considerable resistance to his future succession.

At present, it seems that as long as Orson maintains his usual neutral attitude, it will be fine.

…

After Orson left, Elsa stayed alone in the box watching the play. According to Orson, today's performance of "The Brontës" adopted Orson's revised script.

But in the first half, the plot still develops as Elsa expected, and there is no novelty yet.

All the way to the last paragraph of the drama.

After the family overcame the difficulties, successfully weathered the difficulties and resolved the crisis, the stage fell into darkness.

Just when everyone thought the performance was over, the lights came on again.

This time, the most inconspicuous girl in the family sat in the center, where the head of the family had been seated.

Others in the family fell to the ground one after another, seemingly lifeless.

Then, the curtain fell and the play officially came to an end.

The audience in the audience looked very strange. They didn't know why, what was originally a happy ending would have such a terrifying scene at the end.

But in Elsa's view, this ending is full of infinite possibilities.

Orson said that he revised the script.

Does that mean his attitude towards himself?

…

On the other side, Orson came to the commercial street after leaving the auditorium.

At the entrance of the commercial street, Orson immediately saw Olivia who had put on a beautiful dress and light makeup.

It seemed that Olivia was fully prepared for tonight's date.

"Orson~" Olivia also noticed Orson immediately. She waved to Orson quickly, then trotted to Orson's side, and then directly took Orson's arm.

Orson now knows Olivia's feelings for him. Although as a person who has never been in love, he is a little shy about such an intimate move, but he is not disgusted.

On the contrary, his arms were sunk in a ball of warm softness, and Orson felt very comfortable feeling the carefree posture of Olivia.

I don’t know why I can make a beautiful girl like Olivia fall in love with me.

"Ahem, Olivia, you are... very beautiful tonight, even more beautiful than before." Even as a straight man, Orson saw the change in Olivia's dress.

If he didn't praise Olivia, then his life would have been in vain.

"Huh?" Olivia was a little surprised when she saw Orson boasting about herself for the first time.

Then, she blushed and turned her head away.

"I thought you wouldn't say anything, idiot." Olivia whispered.

"Huh?" Orson asked hurriedly, not hearing Olivia's words clearly.

"It's nothing!" Olivia said, pulling Orson around.

This time Olivia did not drag Orson to go shopping. On the contrary, she preferred to enjoy the scenery with Orson and feel the feeling of the two of them being shocked by some beautiful scenery together.

Colorful lanterns, decorated storefronts, and glowing buildings and towers in the distance.

The night view of the Imperial Academy, at least on the day of the Academy Festival, can be said to be one of the best in the Imperial City.

In this way, the two people wandered around tirelessly for about an hour, and finally sat down on a wooden bench next to an artificial lake.

It is located in a remote area, with few pedestrians and dim lights.

But such a quiet feeling made the two of them feel very comfortable.

Compared to the crowded crowd, just two people being alone makes it even more charming.

"Orson." At this time, Olivia was leaning on Orson's shoulder, her long snow-white hair smooth.

Holding Orson's arm, a few strands of hair fell on the back of Orson's hand.

Orson turned his hand over and gently rubbed his white hair.

"My hair, does it look good?"

"Yeah, it looks good." Orson nodded.

Are you kidding me, the white hair and red eyes are a special attack on the Chinese. Coupled with Olivia's proud figure, it perfectly fits Orson's aesthetic point.

"Of course, you are prettier." Orson used his decades of single skills to say a love story that was as tacky as ever.

"Pfft." Olivia was also amused by this sentence. "Oson, have you never been in love..."

"What's wrong with not talking about it? You make it sound like Olivia, you are very experienced..." Orson countered.

"Well..." Olivia's face turned red when she heard this. "It's all first love, there must be someone who takes the initiative."

"Hey, Orson." Olivia continued.

"Um?"

"Do you know when I started falling in love with you?"
