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

“Councilor, this is the Student Council’s plan for the practical training locations for the second half of the semester.”

In the Imperial Academy office building, a permanent member of the Council placed a document on Headmaster Luca’s desk.

“The specific locations are not much different from previous years, except that the Napoli region has been excluded.”

“That’s normal. After all, that place is currently in turmoil. Getting involved rashly would also affect the safety of our students.”

Luca said this, glancing briefly at the contents above.

He was still very trusting of the Student Council. He had been Headmaster for so many years, and not a single Student Council had worried him, let alone this most excellent Student Council led by Orson.

…

“Haa~” In the Student Council office at this moment, Orson was lying on a chair, yawning.

Because he had been busy before, many unimportant Student Council matters had piled up waiting for him to handle. These past few days, besides attending classes, he had been working overtime. His sleeping time had been significantly reduced. Finally, he had finished handling all the piled-up matters of the Student Council.

“Finally, everything is finished,” Olivia, who was the Vice President on the side, also said this.

“Thank you for accompanying me these past few days.”

Orson looked at Olivia sitting beside him and smiled at her.

“Hmph, it’s good that you know,” Olivia snorted softly.

At this moment, the office door was knocked.

The two immediately returned to their normal sitting posture.

Then, the door was opened, and Elsa’s figure appeared at the office entrance.

“Ah, Prince… cough, cough, Student Elsa, you’re back?” Orson was about to subconsciously call her “Your Highness the Princess,” but then suddenly realized this was the Imperial Academy Student Council office and quickly changed his words.

“Mm, President Orson, Vice President Olivia, I’m back,” Elsa looked at the two and nodded.

Besides being a student at the Imperial Academy, Elsa also held a position in the Student Council. It was quite natural for her to return to find Orson, who was the President, after finishing her own affairs.

“Since that’s the case, hurry back to your office. Your deputy has handled quite a few things for you these past few days, but some matters you ultimately need to handle yourself.”

“Alright,” Elsa nodded, then thought of something and changed the subject, “Um, President Orson, I would like to invite you to dinner this evening. I wonder if you are free?”

The one inviting him was the Imperial Princess. Even if Orson didn’t have time, he would have to pretend to have time. He glanced at Olivia beside him. The other party was just smiling politely and did not cast any threatening glances. Orson then felt at ease.

“I am certainly free this evening.”

“In that case, let’s meet at the intersection of the commercial street today.”

“Alright.”

Only after Elsa had walked out did the smile on Olivia’s face gradually fade.

“How nice. You have such a beautiful fiancée at home, and a close female confidante outside who is fond of you. Tsk, it’s truly hard to choose, isn’t it…”

Olivia deliberately added a hint of sourness to her voice.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Elsa and I are, at most, in a cooperative relationship. We are just friends at most.”

Orson naturally knew that Olivia was not being sour about Elsa, but about someone else. However, at this moment, he could only pretend to be ignorant and play along.

“Alright, alright. I won’t disturb your ‘good fortune.’ Tonight, after dinner, remember not to stay out all night like last time,” Olivia’s words this time clearly carried a hint of firmness.

“I definitely won’t,” Orson quickly guaranteed.

…

As night fell, Orson arrived at the intersection of the commercial street as promised.

As an Imperial Princess, Elsa’s appearance was no less stunning than any other woman’s. Standing at the intersection, she was like a noble flower on a high mountain. Passersby often glanced at her, but dared not stare for too long, let alone approach her to strike up a conversation.

Elsa was clearly waiting for someone. Approaching her rashly would only incur her displeasure.

Unless you had some influence at home, who would dare to casually strike up a conversation with a princess?

Elsa didn’t wait long before Orson, dressed in formal attire, appeared in her field of vision.

She revealed a slight smile and walked forward with a smile.

“Apologies for keeping you waiting, Your Highness Elsa.”

“It’s alright,” Elsa shook her head. “Actually, I invited you to dinner this time to thank you. Let’s go.”

Saying this, she led Orson down the commercial street, all the way to a restaurant in the latter half of the street.

The prices at this restaurant were high. Although they were generally affordable for students at the Imperial Academy, it was not a place suitable for everyday dining. People only came here when they were asking for help or discussing cooperation.

The two arrived at the entrance. The waiter recognized them at a glance and led them directly to a private room on the second floor.

The two ordered some dishes. While waiting for the food to be served, Elsa got straight to the point:

“Orson, you should have already heard about General Scaloni leading the army south, right?”

“Mm. If I’m not mistaken, he should have been laying siege for half a month by now, right? What about it?”

Hearing Orson say this, Elsa became a little anxious instead.

“Since you know, aren’t you worried? My brother’s intention this time is very clear. It’s to let General Scaloni earn military merits and prepare to support him as the second Duke of Antica.”

“Ah… so that’s it,” Orson said, feigning surprise, then continued, “No wonder Student Rosalind contacted me to reach His Highness the Prince before. So it was about this matter.”

“Rosalind?” Elsa heard Orson say this name and immediately became alert.

“When did she contact you?”

“About a month or two ago? I met her at the masquerade ball at that time. I did her a favor, and I didn’t expect her to actually be able to cooperate with His Highness the Prince.”

Orson said this with emotion, telling Elsa about his encounter with Rosalind and subsequently introducing her to Arthas.

Elsa’s mood immediately became much worse after hearing Orson say this.

Who would have thought that Orson had indirectly helped Arthas.

If Scaloni successfully became the new Duke of the Napoli region, Arthas could also take the opportunity to strengthen his own influence and power, which would be extremely disadvantageous to Elsa.

Immediately, Elsa thought of a method.

“Orson… I suddenly thought of a method.”

“Huh?” Orson was surprised when Elsa didn’t criticize him immediately but instead thought of a method. He then asked, “Your Highness Elsa, what did you think of?”

“How about, you compete with Scaloni? I will support you in becoming the Duke of Napoli.”
