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

If the emperor knew about the abuse of power, not only the chief justice, but also the family and power behind the chief justice would be affected.

If Orson sent someone to murder Drizzt, because both of them were nobles, although Orson's noble rank was far higher than Drizzt, the case would still be handed over to the Imperial Court for trial.

At that time, it would not be the time for Elsa to help Orson.

Therefore, Orson knew that if Elsa wanted to help him, she would have helped him, and now she was talking here purely to win his verbal promise and let him agree to help her compete for the position of emperor.

In fact, Orson's attitude towards Elsa was quite entangled.

If we respect the original book and follow the development of the events in the original book, Elsa is undoubtedly a member of Litt's harem group, and he should help Elsa.

Because Elsa's success in ascending to the throne must have been helped by Litt.

But whether Litt can help Elsa now is not mentioned for the time being. Just talking about the harem group is completely a matter of no reason.

It's no wonder that when I deliberately brought Lit and Lianka together, nothing happened between the two of them, and Lit even got a little mad about it.

I also brought up the concave and convex, and the two concave ones can never be put together.

"Your Highness." Helplessly, Orson simply tried to change the subject. "What do you think of the "Noble Protection Law"?"

"Me?" Elsa was stunned when she heard it, and then said: "I think this law is pretty good. The royal family itself has stronger control over the directly governed territories than the duke. After the introduction of this law, it is basically equivalent to cutting off the duke's illegal expansion."

"Yes, for political considerations, this law seems to be very good." Orson nodded. "But because of this, a group of nobles who act recklessly have been born, isn't it okay?" As he said this, Orson stared at Elsa, trying to see something from her eyes.

"Uh... Orson, what do you mean?"

"Your Highness, you should know, right? There are many nobles like Drizzt in the current empire. In fact, there may be many nobles who are more excessive than Drizzt. It's just that we haven't got that information."

Orson said this, basically confirming that he did it.

But Elsa came with a firm attitude, and the previous questions and answers

were not trying to trick Orson, so Orson simply stopped pretending.

"Those scum, apart from their noble status, they can't even make a living in this society by their own ability, but just because their ancestors made more or less contributions to the empire, they become so unscrupulous."

"Their stay in society, and the harm they cause to this society has actually far exceeded their ancestors' contributions to the empire. They are like termites in a piece of wood. If their numbers are allowed to continue to expand, the entire empire will be destroyed by them sooner or later."

"Those merchants will at least lose their family assets because their descendants are not good at business, and the speed of class decline will at least be within a few generations, while most of the nobles have owned this land for more than ten generations!"

"When they commit crimes, the empire helps them clean up the mess, and they only need to sit in their castles or manors, drink wine, sing songs, and watch dramas every day, and they can live a life like the best."

Orson's words are actually more applicable to any place and any organized country.

After all, once the class solidification is serious, the probability of wanting to jump class becomes extremely low, and there is a lack of social mobility, the whole society can be said to be in an extremely dangerous situation.

"But the nobles are the foundation of the empire..." Elsa said.

"I know, Orson, you may think that ordinary people are more important, but don't forget that in terms of the education that the nobles have received, if the people want to launch a rebellion against the nobles, they can even suppress it directly by force."

Indeed, if it weren't for Elsa's reminder, Orson almost forgot that this is a different world full of magic and various fantasy elements.

Here, there are many things that cannot be solved with the previous thinking.

Just like what Elsa said, when the nobles control 70% of the country's wealth and 90% of the armed forces, what the people and businessmen think, the nobles seem to have no concern.

"I also hate those nobles who have bad deeds, but if you want to get to the top, you need the support of the nobles. This country, after all, is still a country of nobles."⑥③④③③⑥①④⑤

"Yes... a country of nobles." Orson sighed.

Elsa seemed to notice Orson's expression and felt that there was an opportunity. She said directly: "Orson, believe me, if I become the emperor, I will definitely improve the problems of the nobles in this regard."

"Your Highness Elsa, can I understand that you are painting a pie in the sky for me?" Orson looked at Elsa expressionlessly. "Anyone can talk big, but promises require sufficient strength."

"..." Elsa was silent.

She knew that there was really nothing about herself that Orson could look up to.

It seemed that after thinking for a long time, Elsa looked up and said:

"If, if I became the queen, let you be the royal husband, and give you enough power to do this, would you agree?"

When Orson heard this reply, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Elsa: "Your Highness, you should know that I am engaged, right?"

"So, if you choose to believe me, Orson, you can cancel the engagement, and I will immediately go to discuss the engagement with you."

"No." Orson shook his head. "This statement is still too unrealistic."

Let’s not talk about whether Orson is willing to get engaged to Elsa.

By separating him from Olivia, whose relationship was already semi-confirmed, Orson thought he was not a scumbag yet.

Moreover, if this matter spreads to the outside world, it will not be nice. Then others will think that Orson is a person who likes others, and they will also think that Elsa steals other people's men, which will easily have a bad impact on both of them. .

After thinking for a while, Orson finally said: "Well, Your Highness, I want to ask you a question. If you can answer me, I can consider whether to help you."

"Okay." Elsa nodded. "Orson, just ask."

"Your Highness, can you tell me why you are so determined to become the emperor?"

As he said this, Orson stared at Elsa, his eagle-like gaze as if he wanted to see through Elsa's heart.

Elsa was stunned when she heard Orson's question, and then said: "I...this is the education I received since I was a child."

"My brother and I seemed to have a good relationship since we were young, but both our father and our court teachers taught us a concept since we were young, that is, the royal family is like a row of saplings planted together."

"Among this row of saplings, only one tree can thrive and grow into a towering tree, giving life to other trees around it.

His saplings provide shade. "

"Sounds good, doesn't it?"

"But that towering tree has actually taken root deeply into the ground. Its roots have penetrated deep into other saplings, absorbing nutrients that should belong to other saplings. This has created a kind of shelter with many situation.”

"This kind of warmth on the surface is actually cruel to other saplings."

"If some saplings can only grow so big, don't need more nutrients, and hide under the shade of big trees all their lives, then that's fine."

"However, if some small trees can also grow into towering trees, when they need more nutrients, the big trees cut off the source of nutrients and sunlight, and they can only gradually die."

Orson listened to Elsa's words and nodded thoughtfully.

"So, sometimes it's good to be willing to be a little tree." He said.

"Oson, do you really think so?" Elsa asked.

"After all, with the shelter of a big tree, I don't have to face the sun or rain. Isn't it nice?"

"But in that case, can it still be considered a tree?"

"..."

"If the emperor becomes emperor, given his political ambitions, I will probably be used as a political marriage tool in the future to marry someone I don't like."

"I don't want to be like this, so I want to change my destiny."

"Also, don't look at my usually indifferent appearance. In fact, I care about rankings more than anyone else. I feel that I am no worse than Brother Huang."

When Orson heard this, he nodded.

"I can understand you, Your Highness."

"You said before that you should change your sincerity for sincerity, right?"

"Then let me tell you directly. In fact, in this matter, my position has always been on your side, Your Highness, Princess. However, due to some reasons, I can't end it directly now. Please forgive me."

"All you need to know is that I'm here to help you."

Elsa's eyes lit up when she heard Orson's words.

"Really?"

"Yeah." Orson nodded.

"You know, I'm not a liar."

"In that case..." Elsa stretched out her hand towards Orson. "Then first wish us a happy cooperation in advance."

Orson reached out and held Elsa's hand.

Cold and delicate skin, soft and boneless touch, this is Orson's first feeling.

As expected of a princess, it seems that she takes good care of her skin.

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Lee Teuk stood at the corner of the stairs, looking at the scene of the two chatting downstairs with a thoughtful expression.

…

"So, Orson, why did you agree to help Her Highness Elsa?"

After sending Elsa away, Orson returned upstairs.

At this time, Lite also changed back to the men's clothes she usually wears most, and she asked Orson in confusion.

"Li Te, when did you start eavesdropping?" Orson did not reply directly, but took a sip of water first.

"Uh... I probably had already changed my clothes when you were talking about the "Nobles Protection Law" and was ready to come down directly. But when I saw what you were discussing, I didn't dare to disturb you."

"Oh." Orson nodded after hearing this, and then told Liteuk all about their conversation.

This time he had no reservations because he wanted to let Li Teuk know the camp behind his own.

"Eh? Drizzt? Why does this name sound familiar to me?"

"Well, the doctor told me about the contracts he saw in the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group's office. One of the contracts was for kidnapping and imprisonment. The doctor and I speculated that the person could still be saved, so I sent the doctor over."

"Now that Drizzt is dead, the person should have been rescued."

"Is that so..." Litt breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

When he first saw the content of the contract that Drizzt gave to the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group, Litt was shocked by the content above.

Now that he heard that the person had been rescued and the criminal had been executed, Litt felt better.

"Although I don't know how Her Royal Highness learned about this, it is obvious that the other party came here to seek cooperation."

"As the saying goes, since we have received help from Elsa, we must return some of the favor and lean towards Elsa in our position."

"But..." Lit heard this and thought for a while before speaking: "Nobles who participated in the disputes of the imperial family, unless they stood on the winning side, otherwise most of them did not have a good ending..."

"So I told her that I can't stand on her side for the time being, but I will lean more towards her side."

"Then... Orson, do you believe that Her Royal Highness Elsa can win in the end? In my opinion, Her Royal Highness Alsace is obviously more worthy of investment."

"I don't know, but I am sure that Elsa is definitely not as weak as you think." Orson said.

"And Prince Alsace is not as scary as you think."

"In the struggle for power in all dynasties, the one who laughs the most at the end is often not the one who laughs the loudest at the beginning."

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Orson said so, and continued to ask: "Lite, how are you preparing for the midterm exam? This midterm exam is actually similar to the final exam in previous years. You are student number 001, so you can't lose face."

"Don't worry about this, Orson, I will definitely be fine!" Lit said so, patted his chest and made an OK gesture.

"That's it."

Chapter 112: Lily Alliance (6K, asking for monthly tickets)

"Orson, Orson." In the classroom, Olivia poked Orson's arm.

"Huh? Ah, what's wrong, Olivia?" Orson woke up and looked at Olivia with a puzzled expression.

Then, Olivia pointed to the podium.

On the podium, a well-dressed old gentleman was standing there, looking at Orson with a serious look.

Orson had just dozed off.

"Student Orson, tell me, where was I just now?"

"Uh..." Orson stood up, not knowing what to say.

He had been a little busy these days, and tomorrow was another midterm exam. He was so tired that he couldn't help but sleep in this imperial history class that was usually useless.

Although Orson got full marks in the imperial history subject, the imperial history teacher was very serious and didn't give face to his "favorite student" at all. If he dared not to come to class, he would dare to ask Triss to call him to the office.

At this time, Olivia pushed out her book and placed it in front of Orson.

She deliberately drew a horizontal line on the content of the book with a pen so that Orson could see it at a glance.
