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

The origin of the matter goes back to a few days ago.

At that time, Orson suddenly found Virgil.

That day he suddenly recalled that in the original book, there was an important factor that contributed to Lee Teuk's darkening.

Those are Lee Teuk's adoptive parents.

As Bai Yueguang after Leeteuk came to the family, his adoptive parents took great care of Leeteuk. Although they had no money, they still allowed Leeteuk to spend a childhood full of warmth and love.

In the original work, Mary's advice to Orson involved Lee Te's adoptive parents.

Orson sent a killer organization to kill Lee Teuk's adoptive parents.

When Leeteuk was preparing to return to his adoptive parents' home to visit him in his spare time, he heard from a neighbor that his adoptive parents had been murdered and had been buried for a long time.

After experiencing that incident, Leeteuk completely turned dark and began to secretly investigate the murderer of his parents.

In the original work, in the final battle with Leeteuk, Orson, like a traditional brainless villain, mentioned the names of Leeteuk's adoptive parents when he was talking, which made Leeteuk understand the cause of his adoptive parents' death, thus angering Leeteuk. Te, after that, Lee Teuk exploded and killed Orson.

And Orson suddenly thought, now that he has changed the world line, will Li Te's parents be murdered?

With this idea in mind, Orson approached Virgil and asked him to go back for a while to help monitor Li Te's adoptive parents to see if they were safe.

As a result, this search happened to happen by chance, and I bumped into someone from the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group.

Virgil escorted Li Te's parents to the new city, and after asking a few soldiers to protect the surrounding safety, he found Lucius.

"Your Majesty the Duke." Virgil said this and bowed respectfully to Lucius.

"Yes." Lucius was sitting at his desk reading military affairs. When he saw Virgil coming over, he just responded without raising his head.

"My Lord Duke, thank you for supporting my army." Virgil said.

Now that the situation on the eastern border is tense and the orcs are ready to move, a large part of the troops that the Duke can mobilize have fallen to the border. As the most elite force of the Duke, the Black Army has also been mobilized to the front line. Today Lu What Hughes sent to Virgil were his own troops.

"It's okay." Lucius shook his head. "Has the person been saved?"

"Well, Master Li Te's adoptive parents are all safe and sound, but..." Virgil said this, hesitating a little, but finally said it: "I think that instead of letting Master Li Te's adoptive parents live outside, it would be better to keep them here." They took them to the Duke's Palace, after all, this is the safest place..."

"And if they add extra security outside, they will still be in danger..."

"Virgil." Lucius suddenly interrupted Virgil, then raised his head to look at him, his eyes so deep that for a moment Virgil couldn't read his mind.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Do you think I am a qualified father?"

"Of course you are, Lord Duke..."

"Then, let me ask, which father in the world would let his child kiss other people more?" Lucius asked this torture.

Yes, Lite originally grew up in the country and lived with the Andres for eighteen years. She must still be closer to the Andres. Even if she and Lucius are related by blood, they will still be. in this way.

Therefore, although Lucius was grateful to Andre and his wife, he still did not want to take them to the Duke's Palace to live together.

This is his selfish intention as a biological father.

After all, the feelings accumulated over time can only be worn away by time.

If Lee Teuk could see Andre and his wife every day, Lee Teuk would still feel closer to Andre and his wife, while he would feel like an outsider.

"Your Majesty, Duke, I'm sorry, I was rude!" At this time, Virgil understood what Lucius meant, and then said: "But, Your Majesty, among these people who have evil intentions against Mr. and Mrs. Andre, There was a person with a sixth-level strength. Although I tried my best to hold him down and cut off one of his arms, he still escaped..."

"..." Lucius frowned when he heard this.

"How could a sixth-level person appear in my territory without anyone noticing?"

"This subordinate doesn't know anything about this." Virgil lowered his head. "If Lord Lucius is not willing to bring the Andres to live in the Duke's Palace, my suggestion is to strengthen the security on the streets and arrange for professional personnel to protect the safety of the Andres in the dark."

"Okay, I understand." Lucius nodded after hearing this. "Just back off."

"Okay." Virgil bowed after hearing this.

Then he retreated to the door.

"Ah, right." Lucius said again.

"Is there anything else, Your Majesty the Duke?"

"Is the injury on your shoulder okay?"

"Excuse me, Your Majesty the Duke. It's nothing serious."

"That's fine." Lucius nodded. "After you finish this matter, you can have a good rest. I will take care of things for you at Imperial College."

"Thank you, Lord Duke..."

fine.

Lucius waved his hand, then smiled and signaled that Virgil could leave.

After Virgil closed the door, the smile on Lucius's face gradually dissipated.

Lucius didn't know about Orson's right-hand man before. He only knew that Virgil was Orson's good friend. Orson had asked him to help Virgil a lot before, and the two had met several times.

After Virgil brought Orson's personal letter this time, Lucius realized that he was a retainer trained by Orson.

Because of this, Lucius also began to care about Virgil.

After all, as Orson's retainer, no matter whether Orson prepares to inherit the title or do other things in the future, he will always be Orson's right-hand man.

Just like his current butler Albert, and his former guard captain Marcus.

It's always easier to have a deputy to do things for you.

Before, Lucius was worried that Orson was going to take everything on him because he was too strong.

In that case, Orson will tire himself out sooner or later due to various things.

But now it seems that he is simply worrying too much, and Orson still wants to let others help him share the burden.

Then, Lucius opened the map on the table and continued to deal with military affairs.

Compared with the complicated government affairs, Lucius, who made his fortune by leading troops in war, is obviously more familiar with military affairs.

It is precisely because of this that his mood has been very unclear recently.

There are more and more orcs in the east, and the scouts sent out by the Duke of Antica have become an extremely dangerous profession. Many scouts never return.

The enemy has begun to consciously round up his own scouts and block his own intelligence, which means that the enemy will definitely launch an attack soon.

The orc invasion eighteen years ago caused the death of many people in the empire and the separation of their wives and children. Lucius happened to be one of them.

His wife at the time, Li Te's biological mother, died of a miscarriage on the way to escape. It can be said that she died indirectly at the hands of the orcs.

The members of the Guards who followed him through life and death were also very rare.

It can be said that he has a mortal enemy with the orcs.

Although he later obtained the Duchy of Antica and became one of the most powerful people in the empire second only to the emperor, if time came back and Lucius had to choose again, he would prefer to choose a life with a happy family.

"Alas." Lucius opened the desk drawer. Inside was the jade bracelet that Li Te brought back when he came back and an old pocket watch. When he opened the pocket watch, there was a portrait of a person printed inside.

"Margaret, your child and I have grown up. I wish you could see him." Lucius rubbed the portrait on the pocket watch with his rough fingers, looking nostalgic.

At this moment, the door to the room was opened, and Lucius immediately closed the pocket watch and put it back in the drawer.

Standing at the door was clearly Lucius's current wife, Mary.

"Mary..." Lucius looked dissatisfied when he saw Mary coming in without knocking. "Didn't I tell you that when I am busy in the study, I will knock on the door?"

"I'm sorry, sir." Mary said, showing an apologetic look, but she continued: "I just came to tell you something."

Saying this, Mary took out a watch.

"The recent economic situation in the Duchy is very bad. If we still need to prepare for war, we will not be able to make ends meet. We can only pay from our own treasury, but even so, the money in our treasury is not enough for us to survive for a long time. ”

"Why are our finances so tight?" Lucius didn't say much, but asked directly to the point.

"Uh...this question..." Mary was stunned for a moment, then hesitated.

"Master, there are many reasons for this issue..."

"So, I want to know, can we raise enough funds before the war starts?" Lucius asked instead.

"This question..."

"Mary, my lady." Lucius said this and looked at Mary. "I took over the financial power of the duchy

Leave it to you, I hope you won't disappoint me. "

"I'm sorry, sir, but our finances have been in difficulty for a long time. Sir, you won't allow heavy taxes. In addition, business has not been developed, so..."

"Okay, I understand." Lucius nodded after hearing this, then stood up, walked to Mary, and held Mary's hand with a pair of big hands.

"Mary, we are husband and wife, and we should work together. I am only responsible for military operations, and you are responsible for being a good wife and managing the affairs of the family and territory. Isn't that what we have always done?"

"So, this time, I'm begging you, no matter what method I use." Lucius said this, looking at Mary, the emotion in his eyes was only sincerity.

"I believe you." Lucius said, and then changed the subject. "If you really feel that you are unable to do what you want, please give way."

With that said, Lucius opened the door and motioned for Mary to go out.

"Okay." Mary nodded and left the room silently.

…

On the other side, after returning to the new city, Virgil arranged for the security of Andre and his wife. This time he specially arranged for two fifth-level people to take turns to protect Andre and his wife.

Afterwards, Virgil sat next to Andre and his wife, waiting until they woke up naturally.

Jenny woke up first. She glanced at Andre who was sleeping next to her and Virgil who was sitting at the table waiting for the two of them. She was stunned for a moment, and then looked at him.

"Well, this young man, I recognize you..."

"Ah, boss lady, do you remember what happened last night?" Virgil asked hurriedly when he saw Jenny waking up.

"Ah, let me think about it..." Jenny thought about it for a moment, and then thought about it.

Last night, I went downstairs with my husband and saw her husband lying on the ground with a man in black next to me. Then I also fell into a coma.

"It seemed like someone wanted to break into the house last night." Jenny said. "Young man, you saved me and my husband?"

"Yeah." Virgil nodded. "There's no need to call me young man, just call me Virgil."

"Okay, brother Virgil, thank you very much." With that said, Jenny sat up from the bed and looked at Virgil.

"Tell me the truth, little brother Virgil, are you someone sent by the Duke?"

"Why do you think so, boss lady?"

"After all, I've never seen you before, and something unexpected happened to us the night you showed up, so I can only guess this."

"Okay, to be honest, I am indeed from the Duke's Palace." Virgil nodded after hearing this. "Last night, a group of people collected other people's money and wanted to kidnap you. I happened to be nearby at the time. After seeing the scene, I directly asked someone to rescue you. Seeing that you were still unconscious at the time, I thought I’ll let you know when you wake up.”

"That's it." Jenny heard this and looked out the window. It was already three o'clock in the morning. Seeing this, Jenny immediately showed an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, little Virgil, for keeping you waiting for so long."

"It's okay." Virgil smiled and shook his head. "As long as you're okay."

"Brother Virgil, since you are from the Duke's side, can you tell me how Lite is doing lately?" Jenny said, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"Mr. Leete..." Virgil thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Leete is doing well in the family, and everyone in the family likes him very much. He recently entered the Imperial College and won the first place. With good results, it can be said that the future is limitless.”

"That's it, that's good." Jenny nodded after hearing this. "Well, brother Virgil, can you please help keep that matter secret?"

"Which thing?" Virgil showed a trace of doubt when he heard this.

"Ah, just pretend I didn't say anything." Seeing that Virgil seemed to have forgotten about that incident, Jenny felt relieved.

"Anyway, thank you, little Virgil."

"It doesn't matter." Virgil shook his head, and then warned: "You should pay attention to your own safety in the past two days. Don't go out at night. Try to go out in pairs during the day and don't be alone."

"Besides, I'm sorry...I failed to persuade the Duke to take you to the Duke's Mansion..."

"It's okay." Jenny said so and shook her head carelessly. "To tell you the truth, we used to face the land with our backs to the sky, living a life without a meal every day. When the harvest was good, we could eat every meal, and when the harvest was bad, we would not starve to death. This was our life. ”

"Take us to the Duke and spend the whole day in the mansion,

On the contrary, it's uncomfortable. It's good like this now. As for someone who wants our lives, our lives aren't worth much, right? "

"I can't have children. Over the years, Leeteuk has been like our biological flesh and blood. Of course we can understand the Duke's mood. It's okay. We won't take the initiative to see Leeteuk. As long as we know that Leeteuk is doing well, we as parents My heart feels at ease.”
