I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree - Chapter 95

This house was the residence of a very ordinary resident of Saint Roland City. Just like its exterior, the interior furnishings were also quite everyday.

Greeting Orson inside was a middle-aged man with a large beard. Beside him was a demi-human girl with orange hair. The girl looked at the entrance, her hand already subtly reaching towards her waist, ready to fight at any moment.

“Lion, he is not our enemy,” At this moment, a little girl sitting on the sofa spoke.

The girl’s voice was quite childish. If Orson didn’t know their identities, he would truly be deceived by the scene before him.

The middle-aged man was the owner of the house, the demi-human was the servant of the house, and the little girl sitting on the sofa was the child of the house, just like the most ordinary family in Saint Roland City.

“Are you comfortable living here? All of you?” Orson said this, took off his wig, washed his cheeks with water magic, and smiled as he looked at the few people.

It was at this moment that the big beard and Lion recognized that this was Orson.

“Thanks to your good fortune, Young Master Orson, we are doing very well,” The little girl who had just spoken got up from the sofa, allowing Orson to see her appearance clearly.

More attractive than the young woman’s soft golden long hair were her eyes, as beautiful as rubies.

The young woman’s features were also very cute. It was impossible to compare her with the appearance of the true owner of the Hidden Orchid Tavern from before, who treated human lives so cheaply in transactions.

Yes, the golden-haired little girl before him was the Angel of Death who had previously cooperated with Orson.

Of course, Orson already knew her real name.

Franca.

“We are very safe living here. The guards responsible for security check on us every now and then, telling us to take good care of ourselves and to contact them if we have any other problems,” Franca said this, came before Orson, and then put on a pitiful look.

“Big brothers, keep up the good work! You must catch the bad guys!”

Subsequently, her expression returned to normal.

“Do you know? This is what I tell them every time. Seeing those people acting as if they are motivated, when in reality the person they are looking for is right in front of them, this reaction is truly malicious and amusing.”

“Pfft,” Orson saw Franca like this and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“I never expected that the Angel of Death, who struck fear into the hearts of the underground gangs, would actually do something like this behind the backs of these soldiers. If those soldiers knew, I wonder if they would cry or laugh?”

Orson said jokingly.

“Heh, I also didn’t expect that you, Young Master Orson, would even sacrifice your dignity as a man to contact us,” Franca said this, teasing Orson before her.

“Tsk tsk tsk, look at the reactions of Rudiger and Lion. Perhaps you truly have the potential to be a girl? It just so happens that many people outside like you now. If you were to become a girl, you would definitely shatter the dreams of that group of people, wouldn’t you?”

Seeing the two of them engaged in verbal sparring, Rudiger, the middle-aged man with a big beard on the side, finally chose to stop them.

“Um… Leader, Young Master Orson has come. He should have important matters to discuss. Otherwise, he wouldn’t come at such a tense time.”

“Oh, you’re right,” Franca heard this, nodded, and then sat back on the sofa.

“So, what is the reason for Young Master Orson’s visit this time? Do you want to entrust us to help you find the person who attacked you?”

Upon mentioning this, the corner of Franca’s mouth also slightly curved upwards.

“I truly didn’t expect that the extremely arrogant Young Master Orson would actually stumble like this. I was startled when I heard about it.”

“…Can I take that as you caring about me?”

“Feel free to think that way. After all, we are allies in cooperation. Now that you know my true identity, our cooperative relationship is even more inseparable. So, are you really here for this matter?”

“Of course not,” Orson shook his head. “If I were to come to you for this matter, it would be too degrading.”

Orson said this, and proposed a plan.

“I want you to assassinate the Emperor for me.”

“What?” Franca was startled by Orson’s words. Then she looked at Orson with a look as if he were an idiot.

“Young Master Orson, it seems I need to evaluate our cooperative relationship now.”

“Don’t rush. I’m asking you to assassinate the Emperor, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to kill the Emperor,” Orson said this, shaking his head. “The more chaotic the situation in the Empire is now, the better. If the situation stabilizes, the problem of our insufficient strength in the court will easily be exposed. Now is a time when everyone is on edge.”

“Between the various interest groups, the cooperation that was originally built is falling apart due to repeated betrayals. We just need to fuel the fire a little more, and we can break the cooperation in the court. When everyone is suspicious of their allies, that is when we expand our gains.”

“…” Franca heard this and stared at Orson for a long time.

Orson did not shy away from meeting her gaze.

After a long while, Franca finally sighed.

“There’s nothing we can do. We are on the same boat as you now, after all.”

Her words essentially declared her agreement.

“In any case, we just need to attack the Emperor in public, right?”

“Mm, it’s best if you also leave a message.”

“What message?”

…

Today, more than a month had passed since Duke Francois of Orleans was assassinated. Emperor Odysseus also came to the square of Saint Roland City to give a speech at this time.

The content of his speech mainly had three points.

First, he announced the results of the initial investigation, confirming a few suspects.

Then, he warned the people not to go out at night recently and to stay at home as much as possible to protect their own safety.

The last point, and the most important point, was this.

The Imperial Family was preparing to completely expel all unstable elements from Saint Roland City.

Whether it was the temporary strongholds of mercenary groups from before, or various underground organized crime groups, they all became targets for the Empire’s crackdown.

In this situation, only the Adventurers’ Guild, which operated throughout the continent, was allowed to remain stationed in Saint Roland City.

Just as the speech concluded, a person in the audience suddenly broke through the cordon of guards and pointed the dagger in their hand directly at Odysseus.

Just at this critical moment, Arthas, who was by Odysseus’s side, acted in time. He severed the assassin’s arm with a single sword strike. Blood instantly splattered out, landing on Odysseus’s Imperial robe.

The assassin saw that the one who had acted was Arthas. He looked at him in surprise, and then spoke:

“Your Highness the Prince, have you truly just stood by and watched?”

As soon as this sentence was spoken, everyone present gasped in cold air.

Arthas’s face changed even more, and he quickly thrust his sword into the other person’s heart.

But even so, Odysseus had already heard that sentence.
