I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree-Chapter 14 - Boys Should Also Be Careful When Outdoors (2/4)
Elsa heard this and pursed her lips.
She had received traditional noble education since childhood. In her view, nobles were like the roots of an old tree, intertwined and entangled.
If one wanted to deal with a noble, the interest groups involved behind them would often be quite large.
If she didn’t handle it well, she could very likely trigger a major upheaval within the Empire. After that, her right of succession could be said to be completely gone.
Perhaps due to worry, or perhaps due to excitement, her body trembled slightly.
“Don’t worry, Your Highness,” Orson stood up from his chair at this moment and came behind Elsa.
His hands gently rested on Elsa’s shoulders. His voice seemed to possess magic, with a tendency to make her listen obediently.
“No matter what, I am on your side.”
Only after Orson’s words fell did Elsa calm down a little.
“Then... then you said it. If, if something goes wrong, you...”
“I guarantee it with my head.”
“...” Elsa nodded upon hearing this.
After seeing Elsa off as she left and returned to the Imperial Capital, Orson sighed, then returned to the Duke’s mansion.
It seemed that the war ending too quickly wasn’t entirely a good thing. For example, now, the winter break had arrived almost half a month earlier than before.
According to the original estimation, the duration of this final exam might have even extended into the winter break or even the next semester. But because Orson was too capable, he directly caused the academy to have an early holiday.
This led to most students’ plans being disrupted. For a while, they didn’t know what to do.
However, Orson didn’t feel this way.
As for the reason...
Looking at Olivia in the kitchen, discussing meals with the maid Vivian, a rare sincere smile appeared on Orson’s face.
As Orson’s personal maid, Vivian was undoubtedly the one who knew Orson’s preferences best. Therefore, Olivia’s excuse to stay at Orson’s house these past few days, besides coming to stick close to Orson every day, was to chat with Vivian about things related to Orson.
Saying “chat” was actually just Olivia constantly asking questions, such as what Orson liked to eat, what color clothes he liked, what kind of girls he liked, and so on.
And Vivian was just a maid. Olivia was a Duke’s daughter. Facing her questions, she could only answer truthfully.
After finishing his work, Orson walked into the kitchen.
The two in the kitchen exchanging cooking tips saw Orson enter and greeted him.
“You two are quite enthusiastic. I see you here every afternoon these days.”
“We can’t help it. After all, to capture our future husband’s heart, we must first capture our future husband’s stomach~” Olivia said this, not afraid of outsiders being present, directly using intimate terms of address.
“Don’t call me husband or anything... It’s not that time yet, you know,” Orson said, turning his head away and scratching his forehead.
“Hehe~” Olivia smiled.
Just then, Litte also walked in from outside the door. She was carrying a bag of grilled meat in her hand, looking at the three people in the kitchen.
“I bought some food outside. Do you want to eat together?”
Saying this, Litte placed the paper bag on the kitchen counter.
“Speaking of which, Orson.” Litte suddenly turned to look at Orson.
“Mm, what is it?”
“Sister Celineina is looking for you for something,” she said.
“Celineina? Is it something about the trading company?”
“I don’t know. She said she wanted to invite you to dinner tonight and asked if you were free.”
“Well...” Orson said this, looking at Olivia.
“I’m fine with it,” Olivia smiled. “After all, you’re just going to have dinner, right?”
Olivia emphasized the word “just,” as if warning Orson that if he dared to do anything out of line, something would definitely be jeopardized.
“Naturally,” Orson said this, smiling and nodding.
As for Celineina, what else could she want from him? It must be a business problem she didn’t understand and wanted to consult him about.
Besides, it had been a while since he had seen Celineina. Whether as a friend or a business partner, he couldn’t refuse this meal.
After the few of them chatted for a while longer, when evening arrived, Orson headed towards Celineina’s trading company.
After completely breaking ties with her father and brothers, Celineina still kept the name of the Silver Moon Trading Company’s Antica branch for a while, but afterward, under further pressure from her father Louis and two older brothers, Celineina simply completely tore off the facade and changed the trading company’s name to the Lison Trading Company.
Of course, the address of the trading company did not change. Only the plaque at the entrance was remade by someone.
“Young Master Orson, welcome.” Lorenzo was already waiting at the entrance of the trading company. As soon as Orson stepped out of the carriage, he came up to greet him.
“The president is waiting for you on the second floor. The trading company has hired the best chef in the city tonight, and all scheduled guests have been rescheduled for tomorrow. No one will disturb you and the president during your meal...”
In Lorenzo’s view, since Orson cared for Celineina so much, their relationship must be very good, perhaps even an unspoken romantic relationship.
After all, everyone knew Orson had a fiancée, but for a prominent figure like Orson, having some rumors with other women was common.
He just didn’t know how his young lady, this strong-willed woman, could be content with being with Orson secretly.
Just as Lorenzo was thinking this, Orson pushed open the door of the trading company and walked straight towards the private room on the second floor.
“He’s really eager,” Lorenzo said, looking at Orson’s retreating figure, and smiled.
