I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree - Chapter 33

A few minutes later, the servants had already started tidying up the rooms downstairs.

Inside Orson’s room.

Laina looked around, occasionally letting out exclamations of surprise.

“Wow, big brother, your house is really beautiful! What’s this? A bed? Can I sleep on it for a bit?”

Seeing Laina suddenly become lively, Litte took the opportunity to pull Orson aside.

“Orson, who exactly is this person?” Litte whispered to Orson in his ear. In her words, besides a hint of questioning, there was also a faint, almost imperceptible hint of jealousy.

Her brother went to the desert, and came back with another new girl, and a demi-human at that.

Could it be that Orson actually had a peculiar preference in that regard?

But he didn’t seem to have any unusual feelings for Lion when they were in the Imperial Capital before? Could it be that at that time it was because Lion was someone else’s employee?

“It’s a long story. I’ll explain it to you slowly later,” Orson finished speaking, then proactively walked to Laina’s side.

“Um, Laina, let’s formally introduce ourselves again now,” Saying this, Orson took the initiative to introduce himself.

“As you can see, I am Orson, the son of Duke Lucius of the Human Empire Antica Duchy.” After speaking, he pointed to Litte on the side.

“And Litte beside me is also the Duke’s son, so he is my younger brother.”

“Oh~” Laina heard this and nodded.

Laina had also seen what happened at the banquet today. Roughly, there were some problems in big brother’s family. A bad woman wanted to take big brother’s family property, but fortunately, big brother appeared in time and rescued the situation in crisis.

“Brother Litte, nice to meet you. I am Laina. I’m very sorry for mistaking you for an older sister downstairs just now, but you are really very beautiful.”

Hearing how well Laina spoke, Litte’s slight dissatisfaction towards Laina also gradually faded.

“Laina, regarding what happened in the desert, I want to tell Litte. Is that alright?” Orson said this, looking at Laina.

After all, some things in the desert were experienced by him and Laina together. Asking her was also out of politeness.

“Of course!” Laina agreed without hesitation.

Anyway, in her opinion, these matters were irrelevant.

Subsequently, Orson truthfully recounted to Litte his entire experience of entering the desert with the magic cloak given by Therese, helping the demi-human tribe, thereby entering Limusa’s temple, and finding the secret of the desert sandstorm in the temple.

When he spoke about entering the underground temple and encountering a powerful opponent, Litte’s heart couldn’t help but tighten.

After all, it was her older brother who was in danger.

“That bad guy was really powerful back then!” At this moment, Laina also added, as if fueling the fire.

“Brother Litte, you might not know, but big brother was initially beaten by that bad guy without any ability to fight back. Later, I took the Heart of All Beasts and was about to help big brother, but that person knocked me out.”

“And thanks to him shifting his attention to Laina, it gave me an opportunity to act. I managed to defeat him while he revealed a weakness,” Orson said this, sighing.

“After that, it seems that because the Heart of All Beasts was taken out of Limusa’s temple, the divine power also gradually dissipated, and eventually the sandstorm protecting the beastmen stopped.”

“So that’s how it is,” Litte heard this and finally relaxed.

Looking at Laina, only gratitude remained in her eyes.

Although she knew that Orson’s words might contain some concealment, and the real reason might not be so simple, from their words, one could gather a very clear piece of information.

That was that Laina had indeed helped Orson.

Just this point alone made most of Litte’s inner dissatisfaction towards Laina dissipate.

As for the remaining small portion, that would depend on Laina’s feelings for Orson.

If Laina only saw Orson as an older brother, then the two could naturally get along very harmoniously.

But if Laina had feelings for Orson that went beyond friendship…

However, as things looked now, with Laina’s mindset, she might not even know what love was yet. She was currently in a phase where she was curious about everything.

“If I had known you were going to do something so dangerous in the desert, Orson, I would have stopped you…” Litte said this, sighing and complaining.

“There’s nothing I could do. Some things only I can do. If you were to do it, Litte, I would be the one who couldn’t rest easy.”

It was already past midnight. Seeing that it was getting late, Orson quickly found Vivian, had her take Laina to a guest room, and also had her familiarize Laina with the environment of the house. Afterward, only Orson and Litte were left in the room.

“Orson,” Litte was the first to speak.

“That Laina, she didn’t just help you that much, did she? I feel like you were deliberately hiding something just now. As soon as Laina opened her mouth, you immediately picked up on her words, as if you were giving Laina a hint.”

“When did you become so perceptive?” Orson said this, smiling and stroking Litte’s head.

“You guessed right. I did hide some things. I planned to only let you know about these things.”

“Litte,” At this moment, Orson walked to the window and looked at the moon suspended in the sky.

“Do you think, in our world, deities truly exist?”

“Perhaps they do. If not, would the disappearance of the Heart of All Beasts accompanied by the retreat of the sandstorm, would such a thing happen so coincidentally?”

“I think so too,” Orson nodded. “Then, Litte, do you think it’s possible for other things with divine nature to exist on the continent?”

“Divine nature?” Litte heard this and fell into hesitation. Then she shook her head. “Apologies, Orson, I don’t know about what you’re saying yet… However, if Limusa’s relic can still exist to this day, then if other deities have their own relics, they should also exist in the world, shouldn’t they?”

“By the way, there’s one more thing I forgot to tell you,” Orson said this, turning to look at Litte.

“Regarding Laina, I concealed some things. Don’t tell Laina.”

“Alright,” Litte heard this and also nodded seriously.

“The reason I brought Laina back, is not just because she helped me, there is also a very important reason.”

“Laina, she has fused with the Heart of All Beasts.”

As Orson’s words fell, Litte’s expression froze for a moment, then turned to shock.

“She, she alone, fused with something divine?”

“Mm,” Orson nodded. “When she was preparing to help me, she was pierced through the chest. At the time, I thought she was dead, but I didn’t expect that under the effect of the Heart of the Gods, Laina came back to life and became even stronger.”

“Her power is now likely even greater than that of the demonized Mudrick I encountered in Saint Roland City last time. I taught her how to control her power during the days I was traveling back.”

Hearing Orson finish speaking, Litte’s emotions were complex.

So, Laina had already died once for Orson?

Not even a servant from a noble family would necessarily throw themselves forward without hesitation to shield their master from a blow when their master was in danger, would they?

But putting that aside, Laina’s luck was truly good. She was actually able to fuse with the Heart of All Beasts.

“So, is the current Laina actually more like a demigod?” Litte said this subconsciously.

“Mm,” Orson heard Litte say this and raised an eyebrow.

“I was just thinking about how to describe Laina’s current state. You’re right, Litte. She is indeed very much like a demigod.”

“Then that means…”

“Mm,” Orson nodded. “If we can make Laina our friend, we will gain a high-level combat force, perhaps even comparable to a Tier 9.”

Hearing the word Tier 9, Litte pointed outside the door in surprise.

“Tier… Tier 9?”

“That’s just my estimation. In reality, it should take Laina a long time to practice to reach Tier 9,” Orson said this, sighing.

“In any case, during this time, try to spend more time with Laina and build a good relationship with her. Even if she were just an ordinary person, she is still my, your brother’s, savior.”

“I understand,” Litte said this, nodding.

Then, she gently stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Orson’s waist, buried her face in his chest, and carefully listened to Orson’s heartbeat.

“Litte, why are you suddenly…”

“It’s alright. It’s just been a long time since I’ve hugged you, Orson…” Litte said this, her tone seeming to carry a hint of playful resentment.

“And, Orson, you came back and immediately brought back a new woman, and one who saved your life at that. I don’t know whether to chase her away or keep her. It makes me so conflicted.”

“Constantly making me this conflicted will make me unable to help but stop thinking, Orson.”

Looking at Litte, who was leaning against his chest and murmuring, Orson could only helplessly allow her to hug him. He then spoke, “Litte, we are siblings. It’s not possible. Besides, I have a fiancée…”

What’s more, there was also Celineina…

In short, Orson dared not bear any more moral burdens.

“Orson, how did our sibling relationship come about?”

“It all happened because of an accident. If it weren’t for this accident, we wouldn’t be siblings at all.”

“But if it weren’t for this accident, it’s also possible that I never would have met you,” Orson said instead.

“…Apologies. It is indeed as you said, Orson. I shouldn’t complain like this,” Litte said this, letting go of Orson.

“Then does that mean, if Orson and I are no longer nominally siblings, the obstacle to us being together will also be gone?”

“…In principle, that is correct.”

“Then I understand,” Litte said, and slowly walked to the door.

“Orson, I will work hard. Before that, you must wait for me, otherwise~” Litte said this, showing a mischievous smile, then opened the door and walked out.

“I wonder what direction that girl wants to work towards,” After Litte left, Orson sighed helplessly, then fell backward onto his bed.

He had indeed been too tired these past few days.

Rest well…
