Chapter 143

"Obviously, he trusts Leeteuk and has trusted the power

It’s a point where it doesn’t matter if you give all your power to him. "

"Is it possible that he is preparing to sideline Li Te and use Li Te's trust in him to become the power behind the duchy?" Giovanni asked doubtfully.

"If that's the case, it's not incomprehensible. However, just a month ago, Mr. Osun said that I would no longer be needed in the future, and asked me to directly obey Mr. Li Te's orders from now on."

"As for Mr. Li Te's abilities, I personally think that he cannot compare with you, Duke Giovanni."

"Ha." Giovanni sneered when he heard this. "I see, it turns out that Orson has this unknown side."

"In that case, you can stay in the Duchy of Antica as a subordinate of Haolit for the time being. We will keep in touch by secret message when the time comes."

"Okay, thank you, Your Excellency the Duke." Zenit nodded after hearing this.

Then, he respectfully left the room.

After Zenit left, another person quietly appeared in the room.

The room was dark at the moment, with only the moonlight coming from the window.

"Duke Giovanni, I think this Zenit cannot be trusted. He is most likely an insider on Orson's side."

"I know." Giovanni nodded, then he walked to the window and looked out the window.

"But what if Orson felt that I trusted him?"

"Your Majesty, Duke, do you mean that you are going to use a general to get the trick?"

"Um."

"By the way, after Jero led the team back to the duchy, he didn't say anything unnecessary, right?"

"No, his family is all in our hands. If he dares to say something unnecessary, he knows the consequences he will face. With his personality and character, he cannot do such a thing, and he does not dare to do such a thing."

"That's good." Giovanni felt relieved after hearing this.

Chapter 32: Not a sister, but a brother

On the other side, Orson was standing at the door of his house to see off guests.

The first to leave were a group of nobles headed by Duke Giovanni who had a normal relationship with Lucius and even had some festivities. Then came a group headed by Duke Lucia and Duke of Aragon who had some friendship with Lucius but not. Deep nobility.

The last ones to leave were mostly nobles who had a good relationship with Lucius or Orson.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work." Orson stood at the door, looked at Odysseus walking over, and said respectfully.

"I'm fine, but Duke Lucius, you must take good care of his body. After all, no one wants to encounter this kind of thing."

"Okay, I will follow your majesty's teachings." Orson said, and then asked: "By the way, your majesty, I don't know why the princess and the prince were not able to come with you this time?"

"They, they have their own things to do." Odysseus smiled. "Elsa is in charge of judging those nobles who have neglected their duties in the imperial city. As for Alsace, after this war, he happily organized a group of people to start mapping the entire empire."

"Yes." Orson nodded. "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Princess and the Prince, both internally and externally, are fully capable of serving as His Majesty's right-hand man."

"It's okay." His Majesty the Emperor was not very happy when he heard Orson's flattery.

"Speaking of which, Orson, Lucius didn't make you his heir. Will you hate him for this?"

"No, Your Majesty, the inheritance is my father's decision, and I completely abide by his ideas."

"In that case, are you interested in serving the royal family?" Odysseus suddenly said.

"This..." Orson was stunned when he heard this.

"Haha, it's okay, I was just joking, but if you really want to come to the royal family, Orson, I will definitely welcome you."

"Then thank you Your Majesty, but I think it won't be long before good news will be sent to Saint Laurent City."

"In that case, I'm waiting for your good news." Odysseus said, patted Orson on the shoulder, and then left.

Orson had not been stunned for long before William walked up.

"Mr. Orson, you don't have to worry too much about inheritance. Olivia and I have already decided on the engagement. Even if you are not the heir to the duke, we will fulfill the engagement normally." William comforted.

"Duke William, you are worrying too much. I don't care much about this matter."

"That's best. Anyway, don't hate your father too much. Although his actions are a bit unfair to you..."

Seeing William's peacemaker attitude, Orson nodded reluctantly.

"Okay, it's almost time. It's time for us to set off back to the Duchy."

At this time, William turned his back.

"Where are you two? If you have anything to say to Orson, please say it as soon as possible."

"Well... Orson, exit, see you next semester." Lianka walked out first and said with a blushing face.

"Well, see you next semester." Orson responded with a smile.

"O~sen~" At this time, Olivia walked around behind Orson, and she whispered softly into Orson's ear: "When you came in just now, the little girl you brought in, after school starts, I hope you can follow me Be honest~"

With that said, she smiled and distanced herself from Orson, and without waiting for Orson's reply, she pushed William and Lianka away.

After sending away batch after batch of guests, the last guest came to Orson.

"Chelinina, I made you laugh today." Orson said awkwardly.

"It's okay, I'm not surprised what happens to a noble family." Chelinina shook her head. "It's you, Orson. Now that it's confirmed that you are not the duke's heir, what are you going to do next?"

"Me? Let's take it one step at a time. Now we need to complete our studies first and then think about the way out."

"Oh? Orson, do you really think so?"

"Yeah." Orson nodded.

"..." Chelinina stared at Orson for a while, and then sighed after seeing that the expression on Orson's face did not change.

"Oh, forget it." Chelinina continued: "Oson, do you still remember what I said to you at the end of the Imperial City party that day?"

"Uh..." Orson was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he really couldn't remember.

"Oh, I forgot about you as soon as I saw you." Chelinina said helplessly, but there was no anger in her tone. "That day, before we parted ways with you, I said that if I really had no choice but to choose a duke as my backer, I would choose your family. When the time comes, don't dislike me."

"I think we should change our identities now." Chelinina said, showing a smile. "You showed up and helped me when I was most desperate, so if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me."

"No matter what happens, I will leave you a chief consultant position here." Chelinina said with a smile, then stretched out her finger and gently poked Orson's chest.

"I saw the intimate behavior between you and your fiancée just now. Don't forget me. Otherwise, if I get angry, I might do something irrational."

"Don't worry, I won't." Orson said.

"Hehe, that's good~" Chelinina said, smiled and waved to Orson, and then left the Duke's Mansion.

After all the outsiders left, Orson turned around and walked into the home.

At this moment, the two people were confronting each other in the living room.

After everyone left, Lite discovered that there was an unknown person at home.

Then she remembered that when Orson came back before, a mysterious man in a cloak followed him.

Just when Lite wanted to approach Lena and ask her about her identity, Lena's cloak slipped off on its own, revealing Lena's face and a pair of huge fox ears on her head.

Leeteuk was stunned.

Orcs! ?

What did his brother bring back from the desert?

Then, the two people stared at each other until Orson walked into the room.

"That..." Lite was the first to react, and she turned her head to look at Orson.

"Orson, who is this?"

"Ah, this is Lena, a friend I met in the desert." Orson said.

Then, Lena walked directly to Orson.

"Brother, who is this sister?"

"Uh..." Orson was stunned.

"That..." Lite was also stunned when he heard Lena say this.

"She's not a sister, she's a brother." Orson was the first to react and then explained.

"Eh? Such a beautiful sister, is she actually a boy?" Lena said, blinking her big eyes and looking at Liteuk curiously.

Chapter 33: Take a good rest (3K)

A few minutes later, the servants had already begun to tidy up the room below.

In Orson's room.

Lena looked left and right to see if she was exclamating.

"Wow, brother, your home is really beautiful. What is this? A bed? Can I sleep for a while?"

Seeing Lena who suddenly became lively, Li Te took the opportunity to pull Orson aside.

"Orson, who is this guy?" Lite whispered in Orson's ear. In addition to questioning, there was also a hint of jealousy in his words.

His brother went to the desert and brought back a new girl, who was also an orc.

Could it be that Orson actually has that hobby?

But when we were in the Imperial City before, we didn't see Orson have any strange feelings towards the lion? Could it be that the lion was someone else's employee at that time?

"It's a long story. I'll explain it to you slowly after this." After Orson said this, he took the initiative to walk to Lena.

"Well, Lena, let's formally introduce ourselves now." With that said, Orson took the initiative to introduce himself.

"As you can see, I, Orson, am the son of Lucius, Duke of Antica of the Human Empire." After speaking, he pointed to Li Te beside him.

"And Li Te next to me is also the son of a duke and can be regarded as my younger brother."

"Oh~" Lena nodded after hearing this.

Lena also saw what happened at the banquet today. It was probably that there were some problems in the eldest brother's family. A bad woman wanted to take away the eldest brother's property, but fortunately, the eldest brother appeared in time and rescued her.

"Brother Li Te, this is the first time we meet. I'm Lena. I'm sorry that I just recognized you as my sister down there, but you are really beautiful."

Hearing that Lena was so good at talking, Li Te's inner dissatisfaction with Lena gradually faded a bit.

"Lena, I want to tell Li Te about what happened in the desert, is it okay?" Orson said, looking at Lena.

After all, he and Lena had experienced some things in the desert together, and it was also polite to ask her.

"Sure!" Lena agreed without hesitation.

In her opinion, these things don't matter anyway.

Afterwards, Orson truthfully recounted to Lit how he used the magic cloak given by Triss to enter the desert, helped the Orc tribe, entered the Limusa Temple, and found the secret of the desert sand in the temple.

When talking about entering the underground temple and encountering a powerful opponent, Lit's heart couldn't help but tighten.

After all, it was his brother who was in danger.

"That bad guy was so powerful at that time!" At this time, Lena also added on the side.

"Brother Lit, you may not know that my elder brother was beaten by that bad guy at the beginning and had no power to fight back. Later, I took the Heart of All Beasts and prepared to help my elder brother, but that person knocked me unconscious."

"It was also thanks to him that he shifted his attention to Lena, which gave me the opportunity to take action. I took advantage of his flaws and barely defeated him." Orson said this and sighed.

"Afterwards, it seems that because the Heart of All Beasts was taken out from the Limusa Temple, the divine power gradually dissipated, and finally the sandstorms that protected the orcs stopped."

"So that's how it is." Litt was relieved after hearing this.

There was only gratitude in his eyes when he looked at Lena.

Although she knew that Orson's words were somewhat concealed, and the real reason might not be that simple, a very obvious message could be drawn from the words of the two.

That is, Lena did help Orson.

This alone made Litt's dissatisfaction with Lena disappear by half.

The remaining half depends on Lena's thoughts about Orson.

If Lena only regards Orson as an older brother, then the two can naturally get along very harmoniously.
