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

Wisely it's like living two lifetimes.

Mary thought so and walked to the door of Lucius' room.

Pushing open the door, Mary saw Lucius lying on the ground in a pool of blood.

She fell to the ground in shock.

"Hurry...someone is coming! The Duke has been assassinated!" With that said, Mary quickly shouted behind her.

Randall was the first to arrive. He came to the door, looked at Lucius who fell to the ground, and hurried over to lift him up.

Then, the butler Albert also ran over.

"Master! Master!" He said this, came to Lucius's side, checked Lucius's nose, and found that he was still breathing, and quickly ran out to call the doctor.

The entire Duke's Mansion was extremely busy today.

…

On the other side, at the border of the empire, where the Dukedom of Antica meets the orcs, more and more orcs have gathered at the border in recent months.

The reason is that the population of orcs has exploded, and the food in the desert cannot supply the huge group of orcs. Therefore, the orcs have made plans for humans.

Orcs with green skin and sharp fangs are born warriors.

This world is unfair, just like humans and orcs. Humans need twenty years of vigorous growth to transform from a helpless child into a strong warrior, while orcs only need half the time, and Power far beyond that of an average untrained human.

Moreover, orcs who grow up normally make a living by hunting in the desert and have more combat experience than humans.

With the same hastily assembled troops, three thousand orcs could defeat thirty thousand conscripts.

But compared with the standing army that leads the troops, the threat from the orcs is not that great.

It can even be said that in terms of high-end combat power alone, human elite troops can even crush the orc army in equal numbers.

But of course the price paid is also high.

On the border, a tall orc with dreadlocks and a fur coat looked towards the sky.

In the sky, a giant eagle circled down and slowly landed in front of the orcs. There was a letter hanging in its beak. The orc leader took out the letter, read the contents, and nodded with satisfaction.

"The time has come, it's time to attack." He said this in orc language, then mounted the strong giant wolf and ran towards the rear.

That day, all the orcs gathered at the border

The tribe received the order of the United Chief Balu and immediately launched an attack to plunder food from the human territory.

The soldiers on duty at the border have been waiting for help for a long time. After more than ten years, the young soldiers who participated in the battle have now become officers.

An officer stood on the wall of the Border Acropolis, looking at the endless desert in front of him, and frowned.

In the desert, a sandstorm was blowing at the moment, making it difficult for the soldiers guarding the city to see clearly the scene in front of them.

They only heard a slightly shrill horn blowing in the distant desert.

The new recruits still didn't understand the meaning of the horn, but after the veterans heard the horn sound again after more than ten years, their whole bodies subconsciously tensed up.

They reminded the recruits around them to prepare for battle.

Then, everyone saw what might be the last scene they saw in their lives.

In the dust storm, groups of orcs rushed out and headed straight towards the Acropolis.

They yelled something in the orc language, and the sound of killing was loud.

Feeling the trembling sound coming from the earth, it was as if the city wall was shaking. The recruits had never seen such a posture before, and the weapons in their hands were a little unsteady.

The officer guarding the city also drew his sword at this moment.

"Soldiers! Now, you are participating in the most glorious and greatest battle in history! What you are protecting are the tens of millions of people in the empire behind you. For the sake of the empire, stop these barbaric orcs outside the city!"

…

"What? Father was assassinated?" On the third day after the midterm exam, Orson received the news of Lucius's assassination. He looked at the little maid in front of him with an extremely surprised expression.

"Yes, Master Orson!" Vivian nodded. She looked extremely anxious at the moment. After she learned this information, she rushed to the imperial city as soon as possible.

"The master's life is not in danger now, but he can only lie in bed to recuperate. I heard that the front line has been attacked by orcs..."

"..." Orson frowned when he heard this, and then he looked at Vivian.

"Well, Vivian, you wait for me outside for a while. I'll take a leave of absence from the college and go home. At least stabilize the situation on the front line first."

Of course Orson knew what it meant for Lucius to fall at this moment as the commander-in-chief of the front line.

Although Lucius arranged a deputy for himself, after all, Lucius was a general who participated in the last war, and his absence would definitely bring a major blow to the front line.

Afterwards, Orson returned to the dormitory and began to pack his things.

Lite looked at the anxious Orson and asked, "Oson, what happened?"

"Father was assassinated, and the orcs took this opportunity to attack." Orson said briefly.

Although there are few words, there is not a lot of information conveyed.

When Leeteuk heard this, he also covered his mouth, showing a surprised look.

"Orson, why..."

"I don't know either." Orson shook his head, and then he walked to the dean's office.

"Dean Luca, I would like to take a leave of absence and go home." As soon as Orson entered the office, he bluntly stated his purpose.

"Is there something going on at home?" Luca also knew about the recent problems in Antica, but in his opinion, with Lucius at the helm, the front line was not foolproof, but at least it could withstand it for a while.

But who knows, Orson said: "My father was assassinated, and although his life was not in danger, the orcs took advantage of this time to attack, and the front line was leaderless, and we urgently need someone to stabilize the situation."

"Huh?" Luca also frowned when he heard the news of Lucius's assassination.

This must be the first time in his life that he heard the news of the Duke's assassination.

You must know that in the empire, apart from the royal family, the most noble person is the duke. Even in the local area, the duke has much greater say than the emperor. It is unheard of for a duke to be assassinated.

"I know, this leave is approved. In addition, if Mr. Li Te wants to go back, I will also grant him a leave." Luca said this, wrote two leave notes on the paper and handed it to Orson , respectively his and Lee Teuk's.

"Go back as soon as possible to stabilize the situation. The council will make a decision soon, and everyone in the college will come to the front line to support you."

"Thank you, Dean Luca." Orson said, nodded, and then hurried to the student union with the note.

He called Olivia and Manuel together.

"President Orson, what happened?" Manuel asked in confusion when he saw Orson's hurried appearance.

"I have something to do and I have to take a leave of absence to go home.

Before the meeting discusses the tasks for the second half of the semester, the work of the student union will be left to you. "

Of course Olivia knew what made Orson so eager to go back. She asked no more questions and just nodded.

"Orson, take care of yourself." With that said, Olivia stepped forward, stretched out her hand, and hugged Orson.

"...Yeah." Orson nodded after hearing this.

Afterwards, he and Olivia separated and left the student union building.

When she returned to the dormitory again, Lite had already packed her things. She looked at Orson and said, "Oson, I want to go back too."

"Yeah." Orson heard this and did not refuse Li Te's request.

In his opinion, Leeteuk, as a member of the family, also has the responsibility to bear part of the responsibility for Lucius when he is injured and cannot go to the front line.

"Li Te, please help me contact a few more people." Orson said, whispering a string of names in Li Te's ear.

"Help me go tell them about this. I need their help."

Li Te was stunned for a moment when he heard the name Orson said, and then nodded.

…

Three hours later, at the entrance of the Imperial Academy, Orson and Leeteuk walked out.

Vivian was standing at the door waiting for them anxiously. After seeing the two of them, Vivian waved to them.

"Master Orson, Master Lite!"

"Let's go back." Orson said, using the magic flying carpet, leading the two of them towards the Dukedom of Antica.

Volume 2: Orc Invasion and Southern Clouds

Chapter One: Going Home

Antica City, Duke's Residence.

Orson traveled day and night, using magic power to accelerate the flying speed of the magic carpet, and finally shortened the original two-day journey to one day.

At this moment, four days had passed since Lucius was discovered and assassinated.

Orson couldn't figure out who the Killing Angel was talking about when he told him in Saint Laurent City that in three days, someone would take action against the people around him.

The information he heard from the assassin clearly indicated that the target of the attack should indeed be Liteuk. After instigating the assassin's rebellion, he did relax his vigilance and thought that the matter would be over.

But now he told himself that something happened to Lucius.

This made him begin to wonder what the hidden meaning of what the Killing Angel said to him that day was.

You must know that Lucius was a general of the empire before. Although his main specialty was in uniting the army to fight, his force value was not low at all, and he had a seventh-level strength.

The assassin who can make the seventh-level Lucius fall in a pool of blood obviously has the strength of seventh level and above.

Generally speaking, if a person with this kind of strength really wants to kill Lucius, it is very simple, and he will not let him have a chance to breathe.

But when Vivian found Orson, she told him that Lucius was not in danger.

This is very strange.

It was already afternoon when Orson returned to the mansion. Because of the assassination, many guards were temporarily added to the Duke's mansion.

The guard at the door verified the identities of Orson and others before letting them in.

As soon as he entered the house, Orson saw the old butler Albert standing in the living room waiting.

"Uncle Albert, how is father doing now?" Orson looked at Albert anxiously and asked.

"Young master, you'd better go and see for yourself about the master's situation." Albert said, pointing to Lucius's room on the second floor.

Li Te nodded after hearing this, and then he walked towards the second floor.

On the other side, Leeteuk followed closely behind.

She and Albert looked at each other, and then followed Orson upstairs.

Orson came to the second floor and opened the door of Lucius' room. What he saw was Lucius lying on the bed, and Mary sitting beside the bed, accompanying Lucius.

"Father, mother." Orson said and walked into the room.

Lucius, who was lying on the bed, seemed to be in good spirits and not particularly weak.

"Your father just lost too much blood and needs to recuperate these days. The other problems are not big." Mary explained when she saw Orson walking in.

"That's good." Hearing Mary say this, Orson felt relieved.

At this time, Li Teuk also walked into the room.

"Father, mother." Lite was still a little cautious when he saw the two of them.

"Li Teuk, come here quickly

. "Oson said this and called Lite to come to him.

"Father, you are fine. You just need to rest." Orson repeated to Little what Mary had just said.

"Orson, Lit." Lucius was deeply moved when he saw his two children rushing back so quickly. In order to liven up the atmosphere, he quickly made a joke. "You are so anxious to come back, are you so afraid of my death, old man?"

Although Lucius is only forty-eight years old, he has become accustomed to calling himself an old man.

"Father, please stop joking." Of course Orson understood what Lucius meant, and a smile appeared on his lips. "Don't say that you, father, have been assassinated. Even if you, father, get cold by chance, we, as children, must come back to visit you."

"Okay, okay, there's no need to talk about this anymore. We are all family here, there is no need to say those polite words outside." Lucius said this and waved his hand, looking like he had not been assassinated before.

"So, father, do you know who assassinated you?" Orson said, looking at Lucius, trying to get the answer to the question from him.

"I don't know." Lucius shook his head. "To be honest, I don't know who wanted to do something to me at that time, but look at my current situation, isn't it good?"
