I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree - Chapter 114

At first, she thought it was just Litte’s little trick, but now it seemed the saying “flies don’t land on a seamless egg” was correct. Her sister actually seemed to really like Orson…

Even though she had given subtle warnings before, it hadn’t had any effect.

Olivia’s emotions were a bit numb now.

She didn’t know what to say.

“Anyway, sister, can you understand how I feel?”

As Lianca spoke, she also noticed something was off.

Her original goal wasn’t this, but for some reason, as she spoke, she had also gotten herself involved.

It sounded as if she actually genuinely liked Orson.

But it didn’t matter. In short, as long as she could convince her sister, it was good.

“Lianca…” Olivia said, shaking her head regretfully. “Sister knows what you mean, but the matter of changing the engagement has already spread. If we change it back now, how will outsiders view our family?”

“Frequent changes to engagements will only make outsiders think our family is one that doesn’t keep its promises…”

“But, this isn’t breaking the engagement. This is just letting the engagement return to its original state…”

“Could it be, sister, that you actually don’t want to do this?” Lianca stared at Olivia, showing a surprised expression.

“No, of course not.” Seeing her sister’s expression, Olivia was startled, then quickly shook her head. “Of course, if it’s for your happiness, sister, I am certainly willing to do that…”

“Then why…” Lianca asked confusedly.

“…” Olivia was silent for a while.

Could she stop acting this play?

She now felt inexplicably pressured. The psychological burden of deceiving her sister had become greater than ever before.

Before, she could justify her actions by saying Lianca didn’t like Orson. But now, it seemed Lianca genuinely liked Orson. What should she do?

If she refused, wouldn’t she truly become the wicked sister who cleverly stole her sister’s man?

But if she agreed, she was unwilling, and Orson would definitely be unwilling too.

Thinking this, Olivia had an idea.

She spoke, “After all, after all, the matter of the engagement isn’t something that two people can completely control. There’s still an issue with Orson’s side. If Orson doesn’t like you, the engagement definitely can’t be changed back. So, let’s go talk to Orson about this later. If he doesn’t agree either…”

“Alright.” Lianca nodded upon hearing this.

Indeed, Lianca could only do this much. Changing the engagement also required Orson’s own opinion.

“Since that’s the case, let’s rest for now. We’ll talk about it tomorrow,” Olivia said this, quickly heading upstairs.

Who could have thought that Olivia, who had intended to manipulate Lianca today, would ultimately be the one defeated, ending with her own hasty retreat.

Perhaps this was what they called, a fool defeating a cunning person.

…

On the other side, Constan City.

A group of soldiers pushed open the door of a civilian house. At this moment, a man was hanging from the beam, and a suicide note was left on the table.

“I burned the house, I killed the person.”

The soldier in charge of the search saw the suicide note and brought it to the search captain.

The captain glanced at it, then turned and signaled.

“Case closed, pack up.”

“But, Captain, there are still many questionable points in this case… What if this person committed suicide and the suicide note is fake? What should we do…”

“Where are you getting all this nonsense?! Didn’t you hear what I said?” The captain pointed at the soldier, his beard bristling and eyes wide. “Case closed, pack up!”

“This is an order from above. Don’t be ignorant!”

The soldier, hearing this, could only respectfully nod.

“Understood!”

In the Imperial Capital, at the City Guard office, Elsa looked at the paper handed to her and nodded.

The content on it was the investigation report regarding the death of Baron Trist.

According to the investigation, Trist died in an accident. A drunkard, holding a grudge against Trist, infiltrated Trist’s mansion while the guards were off guard, assassinated Trist, and to destroy the evidence and make it look like an accident, he also burned down the house.

However, after Trist’s death, the intensity of the search increased. The drunkard, feeling his days were numbered, simply committed suicide out of fear of being caught.

“Should we close this case with this result?” a City Guard official asked respectfully, bowing his head.

“Yes,” Elsa said approvingly. “It was handled quite well.”

“By the way, during the investigation, we also discovered that one of Baron Trist’s guards, named David, went missing after the incident. What should we do about this?”

“That David probably ran away out of fear of punishment because he failed to guard properly, leading to Trist’s death, right?” Elsa placed the paper aside and rubbed her temples. “Let’s put this matter aside for now. After all, he wasn’t the one who killed him. All current resources should be used to investigate the most urgent case at hand.”

The case Elsa referred to was naturally the matter of Mudrick’s demonization.

“Alright, Your Highness. However, regarding the Mudrick case, after we investigated the person named Lodi, the clues ran out…”

“If the clues ran out, find them from other sources. Do I need to teach you how to do your job?” Elsa frowned.

These past few days, this was the sentence she heard most often. Because of this, she now got a headache whenever she heard about clues running out.

Lodi, a living person, how could he just disappear in Saint Roland City?

She thought of a possibility, but Elsa still shook her head.

It shouldn’t be him who did it. Elsa and he should be in a cooperative relationship. If he had done something like that, he should have informed Elsa.

Not long after the City Guard official left, the door was knocked on again. Then, a man in military uniform, with a tall and straight posture, walked in.

“Yo, Elsa, busy lately?” The person who walked in was the First Prince, Arthas.

Although she was annoyed by the smile on Arthas’s face, Elsa, as a princess, still returned a smile.

“Not at all. How could I compare to you, Imperial Brother?” She said this, looking at Arthas’s attire. “Your attire, Imperial Brother, it looks like you’re heading to the front lines? Where are you going this time?”

“This time? This time, I’ll be leading a team to Antica’s side.”

“Is it to deal with the beastmen?”

“Yes.” Arthas nodded. “The beastmen are becoming increasingly rampant. I’m leaving today. I wanted to see you one last time before I depart.”

“Then, allow me to wish you good fortune in battle in advance, Imperial Brother?”

“Thank you, Imperial Sister,” Arthas said this, exchanging a smile with Elsa.
