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

"As long as I can keep my throne, I will agree to whatever Osenti's conditions are. If it doesn't work out, you can ask him to arrange a neutral location and I will talk to him personally, okay?"

"And Elsa. Apart from the throne, I can give Elsa everything. Territory, army, gold coins, and even the inheritance rights of my descendants. I can also give it to Elsa's line."

Alsace's tone almost turned into pleading, and while Rosalin felt distressed, she also recognized Alsace's current situation.

He has always been like that, extremely obsessed with power, so when he is about to lose those things, Arthas will become very scared.

In extreme panic situations, he will do many unexpected things.

Rosalin looked at Alsace's panicked eyes, and finally nodded painfully.

"I understand, Your Majesty. I will help you talk to Orson. When the time comes, if the conditions are acceptable, I will come back and report."

"Well, if the conditions are acceptable, there's no problem in just agreeing!"

After hearing this, Rosalin stood up, then straightened her clothes and walked to the door of the room.

"His Majesty."

At this time, Rosalin suddenly turned around.

"What are you going to do if Orson doesn't accept it?"

"..." Arthas was silent. He glanced at Rosalin, and then shook his head.

"If he really doesn't accept it, I can only..." After saying this, he glanced at the beam with a wry smile, and seemed to have found his position.

Seeing this, Rosalin also showed a bitter smile.

"If that day comes, I will never betray His Majesty and live alone."

Hearing Rosalin's words, Alsace felt warm in his heart. He came to Rosalind's side and hugged her tightly. It took a long time before the two separated again.

"I know there may be many reasons why you like me, but now, I want to believe that it is the most pure and unadulterated love."

Rosalind kissed her back.

Perhaps, this will be the last kiss between the two of them,

…

At the Imperial Academy, Orson has been handling the matter very carefully these days. After eliminating public opinion, settling the compensation, and assuring the students that the court magicians will be withdrawn from the Imperial Academy, the students' anger gradually subsided. Come down.

And it was at this time that another person knocked on the door of the student union office.

"Please come in."

Orson said this when he heard a knock on the door while sitting in the president's seat.

Then, the door was opened, and Rosalin appeared in front of Orson.

At this moment, Rosalin had taken off her gorgeous dress and replaced it with the Imperial College uniform.

Even so, after Orson recognized that the visitor was Rosalind, he couldn't help but tease:

"Isn't this our Her Majesty the Queen? I don't know why Her Majesty the Queen is so honored to come to this humble residence."

Rosalin ignored Orson's teasing, but sat on the sofa assigned to the guests, and then slowly spoke:

"Orson, stop it, that's it."

"I really don't understand what Her Royal Highness the Queen means."

Orson started to act dumb and startled.

"We are willing to apologize for wronging you and framing you before, and Alsace himself is also willing to apologize to you personally and help you restore your reputation."

"Oh, what then?" Orson asked next.

"Other than that, as long as you can keep the throne of Alsace, you can make any other conditions you want. As long as they are not too excessive, we can accept them."

"So, I can understand that Your Highness the Queen is here to seek peace?"

"Of course, it's up to you to interpret it how you want."

Rosalin shrugged, her momentum not losing to Orson at all.

"Actually, there is no clean side in this political struggle. Didn't you also use some dishonorable methods to help Elsa? It's just that you hid it better. We have no direct evidence to prove you."

"puff."

Orson laughed when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, should I say that you are naive, and that you are outspoken and straightforward?"

"You have to know that the reason why you slowly lost the support of the people before is because you have been locking me up without any evidence. I am dissatisfied with this and lead the public to restore my reputation. No problem, right? ?”

"No problem at all." Rosalind said.

"Then, you should also know that if you continue to take advantage of this place, you will be the one who suffers."

After Orson said this, he sighed again, and then continued:

"Since you are here to seek peace, then I will agree with you on our terms."

Orson said this and raised an index finger.

"We have only one condition, and that is for Arthas to abdicate and Elsa to take the throne."

Rosalin frowned when she heard this.

"Oson, I'm negotiating with sincerity. I don't want you to act out of impulse and make trouble unreasonably."

"Of course I am not being impulsive or unreasonable. Your Majesty, Queen, you have been with His Majesty the Emperor for so long. It is impossible that you are unaware of some of his flaws. He cannot be a good emperor. The reason why I resisted is entirely for the sake of the empire. I hope you will You can understand my hard work.”

Upon hearing this, Rosalin stood up in anger.

"So, we just don't have anything to talk about?"

"...Originally, if it was earlier, when the late emperor was in a coma, there might be something to talk about, but since that incident, there is nothing to talk about."

Orson sighed and said slowly:

"Your Highness, too many people have been involved in our dispute, whether it is the people of Saint Laurent City, the people of the Royal Family's direct jurisdiction, or the people of other dukedoms, they are all watching this farce."

"Too many innocent people have sacrificed because of this. If we stop here, no one will buy it."

"In addition, you can stay in the Imperial Academy for a while these days. Just take it as my advice to you."

Orson said this, and stood up, pointed to the door, and made a "please" gesture.

"I still have things to do here. If Your Highness, the Queen has nothing else to do, please allow me to take care of my own things first."

Rosalin nodded when she heard it.

When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped.

"Orson, I'll give you a piece of advice as well."

"Go ahead."

"Don't think everything is perfect. Not everything can go smoothly as you expect."

"Really? Then we'll wait and see."

...

On the other side, after seeing Rosaline off, Arthas sat alone in the room for a long time. Finally, a knock on the door pulled him back to reality from his illusory imagination.

"Come in."

Arthas' tone was quite weak.

Then, the door was pushed open, and a gentle footsteps came.

"Your Majesty, I've kept you waiting for a long time."

The person who spoke was the raven that was released earlier.

"Well, have you rested well?"

"Thanks to your Majesty, I'm full of energy now, and I'm waiting for your Majesty to assign me a task."

"Okay."

Arthas nodded, then looked up at the raven.

"I want you to burn down the Imperial Academy. Can you do it?"

"..."Hearing this request, the raven was stunned for a moment, and then showed an awkward but polite smile.

"Why did you burn the Imperial Academy? It is the property of the royal family after all."

"The Imperial Academy is against me, their board of directors and student union are against me, I can't tolerate such an organization taking root in the heart of the empire."

"But if it is burned down, other people in the empire will feel bad."

The raven seemed to be trying to persuade the irrational Arthas.

Unexpectedly, Arthas ignored these persuasions and said bluntly:

"If I am not on the throne, why should I care about the opinions of other people in the empire?"

Such words shocked the raven.

"So, Your Majesty, have you thought it through?"

He asked tentatively.

"Well, if Orson wants to come, let him try. What will happen if he disobeys the king?" After saying this, Arthas summoned the scepter symbolizing the royal power.

Now, Arthas, who has royal blood, has successfully inherited all the functions of the scepter after Odysseus' death.

The royal family has been able to sit firmly on the top of the empire for thousands of years, and naturally they have their own trump cards.

There is an ancient legend circulating in the royal family.

It is said that the first emperor of the founding of the country at that time added a function to the scepter, which symbolizes the imperial power, in order to ensure that his descendants would not be usurped by powerful officials in the future.

That function is to awaken the guards in the dozens of imperial tombs under the city of Saint Laurent to protect the safety of the royal family.

Of course, the original design was like this, but later, in order to prevent the monarch from abusing power, an emperor modified the scepter so that some conditions must be met when it is activated.

However, in the thousand years of the empire, no emperor has ever used this function, and even Arthas himself is a little curious whether the function of the scepter is true.

However, with the idea of ​​​​trying everything possible, Arthas chose to believe himself once.

And when Raven saw Arthas agree, his emotions became excited.

He knew that he was about to witness a miracle.

...

The next day, in Saint Laurent City, the people in the royal control area were called up by the army early in the morning, and then they were driven to the control area of ​​the coalition forces.

The people in the royal controlled area claimed that they had "no food and were hungry", so they had no choice but to surrender to the coalition forces, but everyone knew what the other party was thinking.

There must be real people among them, but most of them were definitely scouts disguised as people, preparing to collect intelligence from the rear of the coalition forces, and even had the possibility of affecting the coalition forces' facilities.

Why did the coalition forces know this? Because it was the coalition forces that did this first.

At that time, the coalition forces started as "rebels" and were basically in poor and backward areas. Therefore, some people who "luckily" escaped spent a lot of money hoping to get a good night's sleep in the royal controlled area.

Many guards of the royal army believed this set of rhetoric at the time, and then many coalition spies took the opportunity to sneak in.

Faced with this situation, Litt, who became the temporary commander, only gave his subordinates one order, that is, to drive them away.

Yes, anyone who escaped, whether they were civilians or not, would not be accepted by the coalition forces.

One is that the coalition forces themselves have very limited supplies, and the other is to prevent the opponent's spies from mixing in.

The coalition had enjoyed a lot of intelligence wars, so it was impossible for them to relax.

In the end, an interesting scene occurred at the border of the two controlled areas.

The royal army was driving the refugees to the coalition’s territory, and the coalition remained fully armed in the face of the refugees. At this time, there was a situation of military disorder in the royal army.

Some soldiers actually drew their swords to threaten the refugees in order to prevent them from escaping back, and there were even murders.

Afterwards, most refugees squeezed into the neutral area in the middle to barely survive.

These citizens of Saint Laurent City never thought that they had lived a stable and healthy life in Saint Laurent City in the first half of their lives, and their second half of their lives were suddenly broken, and the gap they felt was quite large.

And at this time, it seemed that because of improper use of fire, or someone seemed to have done it deliberately, a fire broke out in the neutral area, and the fire covered three streets directly. Even the imperial people outside the city wall could see the flames in Saint Laurent City that night, and for a moment they thought that the magicians had started fighting.

The conflict between the two sides finally evolved from avoiding harming civilians to directly harming civilians, treating civilians as a burden and shifting the blame to the other side.

With such an undignified way of fighting, the final loser of this battle will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and criticized forever.
