Chapter 419
As he said this, he repeated to Olivia his experience in the desert and all the things that happened when he met Lena.
After hearing this, Olivia expressed her understanding, but Lianka still showed a skeptical look.
"Orson, are you sure that in the desert environment, nothing really happened between you and Lena, a single man and a single woman?"
Looking at Lianka with a suspicious expression, Orson sighed.
Your sister Olivia didn't say anything, why are you worrying about it.
Besides, nothing really happened between him and Lena.
At this time, Olivia said to Lianka: "By the way, Lianka, I suddenly remembered that I left something in a chamber of commerce and didn't bring it here. Can you help me get it? Thank you."
Hearing Olivia's words that were obviously meant to drive people away, Lianka didn't say much. After asking the address of the chamber of commerce, she left.
At this moment, only Orson and Olivia were left in the room.
"Orson, is there really nothing going on between you two?" At this time, Olivia suddenly put her arms around Orson's neck. The two were so close that they could feel each other's breath.
"No... nothing happened." Orson said this with a slightly red face.
He was about to turn his head away, but was forcibly straightened by Olivia and looked at her.
"I'm not saying that you and Lena are the other one."
Chapter 39: The cat cries the mouse
Orson was stunned when he suddenly heard Olivia say this.
Are you talking about himself and Chelinina?
"Olivia, are you saying... between me and Chelinina?"
"Since you know, don't hide it." Olivia unexpectedly spoke with a tough tone, no longer following Orson's wishes as usual.
Orson was silent.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Olivia sighed.
"Let me put it another way, Orson."
"Do you know that Chelinina likes you?"
"...I know." Orson nodded. "Because I helped her before, she has some good feelings towards me..."
Olivia heard this answer, which was in line with her expectations.
Then she asked again: "What about you, Orson? You know that Chelinina likes you, so how do you think of Chelinina?"
Ossen was silent again.
Olivia sighed, and then buried her head in Orson's chest.
Feeling Orson's gradually faster heartbeat, Olivia reached out to Orson's waist fiercely, and then squeezed it hard.
"Hiss..." Orson took a breath.
"It's my problem that I can't control men. Maybe I'm not good enough." Olivia's tone was a little self-blame, but it also gave Orson a sense of easing.
Some things should not be so clear, otherwise it will only destroy the relationship between two people.
It's tacit.
Moreover, it is reasonable that other vixens would set their eyes on such an excellent man like Orson.
Moreover, Chelinina is not just a vixen, she is very capable and helps Orson no less than she does.
Maybe Orson feels that he owes her.
But that being said, who can bear to see his man being dazzled by other women?
"Please give me more advice in the coming days, my fiancé, Orson~" Olivia said, whispering in Orson's ear.
Olivia especially emphasized the word "fiancé".
"Well, please...give me more advice." Orson said, nodding.
"And, sorry..."
"Is it all you can say sorry?" Olivia's anger, which had just been suppressed, rose a little at this moment.
Then, she felt that she was held in Orson's arms.
Then, Orson kissed her.
She stared at Orson in disbelief.
She had never thought that Orson would be so proactive.
Her eyes became blurred at this moment.
At this moment, the door of the room suddenly opened.
"Sister, the Chamber of Commerce you told me about, they don't have your things?"
Li Anka stood at the door of the room and looked at Olivia with a puzzled look.
Almost instantly, Orson and Olivia sat back in their seats. Except for the distance being a little closer, they were exactly the same as when Li Anka just left the room.
"Ahem, then, then I must have remembered it wrong." Olivia said this and sighed.
"Well, I have something else to do, I'll go back first..." At this moment, Orson also stood up, with a hint of apology in his eyes.
"Yeah." Olivia nodded with a red face.
She didn't want Orson to think that she was a petty woman, but she didn't want to suffer in vain.
Orson's behavior just now was barely enough to make up for some of her dissatisfaction.
Lianka looked at Orson curiously, and only turned her attention to Olivia after he left the room.
"Sister, is Orson feeling unwell?"
"Huh? Lianka, why do you say that?"
"When I saw Orson leave just now, he seemed to be bending over..."
"..."Olivia blushed again after hearing Lianka's words.
I don’t know if Lianka did it on purpose, Olivia didn’t want to answer this question anymore.
…
Walking to the corridor to blow the wind, Orson returned to his room downstairs after calming down completely.
It was almost time for dinner, and the person responsible for delivering the meal changed from the original chef to the Elf lady at the front desk.
“Um, Mr. Orson, can you please give me… ahem, that is, an autograph?” Standing at the door, after delivering the meal, the Elf lady said to Orson shyly.
“But I remember I signed both of your ears…”
Looking at his extremely fanatical fan in front of him, Orson reluctantly took the pen from the other party.
“So now I can only sign in a more important place…” As she said this, the Elf lady lifted her skirt again.
“Didn’t I say that it’s not okay to sign there?” Orson quickly stopped the other party’s behavior.
“Hey? Why is this…” The Elf lady said in frustration.
Originally, I thought that if I collected two autographs, Mr. Orson would sign on my thigh, but now it seems that I need to work harder.
Orson took the pen, thought for a while, and signed his name on the bow tie of Miss Elf's clothes.
"I don't quite understand this kind of signing behavior..." Orson said, sighing.
"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Orson, but for fans like us who have always supported you, your signature is our motivation to move forward!" Miss Elf said this, bowed to Orson in gratitude, and then turned around and left to deliver the rest of the meal.
"Alas." Orson turned into the room and shook his head.
He felt that he had no value to be worshipped at all, or rather, he felt that he was not worthy of being worshipped.
A war criminal who committed genocide, a scumbag who played two women at the same time, a scum who took advantage of his family, if all these things were exposed, he would definitely be infamous, right?
"Orson, is it that Miss Elf again?" Lit asked curiously when he saw Orson's sad face.
"Well, as a fan, she is a little too enthusiastic." He sighed.
"Are there many people who admire big brother?"
"Yes." Orson nodded. "There are many people who admire me, but to be honest, I don't know what they like about me."
After dinner, Orson asked Lit to take care of Lena, and he went out to do business again.
This time, the place of business was in a restaurant on the street closest to the palace.
In the box, Orson looked at Elsa who was sitting opposite.
"Orson, I did what you said about the things you told me." Elsa said so, and took out a note and handed it to Orson.
"It's all the forces they are involved in. I have told you before that the nobles are intertwined, and they will rise and fall together. If we are sure to take action against these people, the counterattack we will suffer will be unprecedented, and it is even likely to trigger a civil war in the empire."
"Then, Your Highness Elsa, do you think that if we just let them go, will the empire be better?"
"I don't know." Elsa shook her head.
"Your Highness, do you still think that as long as you do nothing, you won't make mistakes?" Orson said this, as if he could see through Elsa's heart.
"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. Your Highness, if you don't do some things, the general environment will force you to do so. Do you want the political environment of the empire to remain calm?"
"Your Highness, don't forget that you are now in a disadvantageous position in the succession dispute. If there is no major change in the empire, more nobles will choose to support His Highness Alsace instead of you. If you want to gain an advantage, you must take this opportunity to disrupt the empire. Only in the name of anti-corruption, you can take the opportunity to suppress the nobles who originally belonged to His Highness Alsace. Then you can rise."
"Do it, Your Highness Elsa. It is not a ruler's job to seek perfection blindly. What you should do is to play the role of a new and reformist party and set a good example. Supporters will naturally come in droves."
"I know." Hearing Orson say this, Elsa nodded, and a hint of decisiveness appeared in her eyes.
"Orson, thank you."
"It's okay, Princess, after all, we are on the same front."
"By the way, speaking of which, I have one more thing to ask Princess." Orson suddenly remembered something.
"Princess, you trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I will turn against you and join the camp of His Royal Highness Alsace?"
"If Orson were that kind of person, you wouldn't give up the right to inherit the Duchy of Antica, right?" Elsa smiled when she heard Orson say that.
"Orson, you are looking at something more important, and that kind of thing, Brother Alsace can't give you, right?"
Hearing Elsa's words, Orson certainly knew what she meant, and he nodded.
"Probably."
"Anyway, it's a pleasure to cooperate."
"Yeah, it's a pleasure to cooperate."
The next morning, the Imperial Court conducted a large-scale judgment. The nobles who committed war crimes in the Duchy of Antica were sentenced to death or exile according to the degree of their corruption.
In the jury composed of royal family members, Alsace sat next to Elsa.
"Elsa, is this your decision?" He frowned. "It would be too radical to execute so many nobles at once, even if they are really guilty, right?"
The reason why Alsace questioned was because of his conservative character.
In his opinion, the reason why the empire has achieved its current glory and the reason why the royal family has been able to flourish for so long, these nobles have contributed a lot.
Even though Elsa is his competitor, she still represents the royal family after all.
This time, the royal family changed its style of respecting the nobles. The harsh punishment in the court will obviously damage the relationship between the royal family and the nobles.
It will make other nobles think: If you treat them like this this time, will you treat us with false accusations next time?
But by doing this, Elsa would completely ruin her political career.
The worry Alsace showed was completely fake compassion.
As long as he vindicates those nobles after coming to power and puts all the blame on Elsa, the relationship between the royal family and the nobles will be restored.
Chapter 40: Welcome to Imperial College
After the trial in the Imperial Court, many nobles gathered around Elsa, hoping to get an explanation from Elsa.
"Your Highness, I heard that you are responsible for hearing this case. Do you have to be so harsh in the trial? You know, as nobles, even if they made big mistakes, their ancestors have made meritorious service to the empire after all. , It’s not good to let the hero die like this, isn’t it?” A count stopped in front of Elsa and asked.
He is a vassal of the Duchy of Naples. One of the nobles in charge of the trial this time is his in-laws. The relationship between the two families is very good. Now his married sister will be implicated because of this. How can he accept it.
