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

"It's okay, Susie, I will accompany you in the next few days."

"I swear, brother, I will spend my whole life healing your wounds."

…

These days, everyone's life in Imperial College has gradually returned to normal.

The imperial royal commissioner sent people to investigate the matter of Mudrick and the Iron Wolf mercenary group, but the rest of them had already completed the interrogation and transcripts, and there was no need to intervene in this matter anymore.

On the day he returned to normal life, Orson gave Leeteuk a big gift.

"Li Te." Orson carried a large bag and opened the door of Li Te's bedroom.

At this moment, Li Te was sitting at his desk reviewing the contents of the midterm exam. He was shocked when he saw Orson coming in.

"Orson...what are you doing?"

"I bought some things that you will definitely like." With that said, Orson piled all the wrapped gift boxes on Li Te's bed. "Let's take it apart and take a look."

"Eh?" Lite hesitated for a while after hearing this, but still obeyed obediently.

Then, she put the contents of the package on the bed one by one.

From the moment she saw the lace pattern, she already felt something was wrong.

Then, she unfolded a folded cloth and her eyes widened in surprise.

Orson actually bought himself four or five sets of women's clothing.

"Orson, this is..."

"I've been very busy these days and have less time to spend with you. I was just thinking about buying something for you, and then it suddenly occurred to me that as a girl, it's not a problem for you to wear men's clothes all day long, at least. You can try wearing these in the dormitory when no one else is around.”

"A girl should always look like a girl."

At least, after knowing that Li Teuk was his younger sister, Orson no longer doubted his own orientation. He doted on Li Teuk as his younger sister and no longer had the previous feeling of disobedience.

Today, under the strange looks of the clothing store clerk, Orson bought several sets of women's clothing. If it weren't for the fact that the women's clothing styles were too small, the waiter would have thought that Orson wanted women's clothing himself.

In this way, for his sister, he is able to do many things at all costs, and he is actually a half-hidden sister-controller.

"I'm going out first. If you see anything that looks good, just change it here. Just call me when you're done."

Afterwards, Orson walked out of Lee Teuk's room and leaned against the wall to wait.

Li Teuk, who stayed in the house, was also in trouble at this moment.

Looking at the five sets of clothes on the bed, she didn't know what to wear.

She glanced at a fluttering princess dress with lots of laces, which made it difficult to put on, so she passed on it.

In the end, profit

I chose a blue printed dress that looked more wearable.

After that, she put on a pair of white jacquard pantyhose and turned around in front of the mirror. After that, Lite suddenly felt that something in her heart had awakened.

It is said that girls love beauty, and Liteuk is no exception.

Li Teuk had never been exposed to those cute women's clothes before. After coming to a noble family, she always wore men's clothes and had no requirements for her own appearance.

But now when she saw herself in the mirror, she was surprised to find that she didn't seem to lose to Olivia...

Of course, after seeing the comparison on the chest, Leeteuk admitted that there was still a slight gap between himself and Olivia.

But only in that part!

After seeing his own charm, Li Teuk became more confident in taking down Orson.

Then, she knocked on the door.

Orson had been waiting outside the door for a long time. After hearing Li Te's knock on the door, he immediately opened the door.

Then, looking at Liteuk standing at the door of the room, Orson showed a satisfied look.

"Well, that's great. She is indeed my sister!"

For some reason, Li Te was a little unhappy when he heard Orson say this and combined with Orson's expression.

So, this guy Orson has always treated himself as a junior, and he has never treated himself as a member of the opposite sex at the same age, right?

Li Teuk suddenly felt a little angry.

The little confidence that I had finally built up by looking in the mirror just now was almost gone under Orson's blow.

Thinking this, Lite couldn't help but stretched out his hand and hugged Orson's arm, deliberately placing his arm on his chest.

In fact, objectively speaking, Li Teuk's chest is of a certain size. Although it looks flat when it is wrapped up, when it is put down, it is not as harsh as a steel plate.

But if you want to say how big it is, it's definitely not big. Otherwise, it would definitely be out of control and the secret would have been exposed long ago.

But after all, it was a girl's chest. Orson's arm touched there. After experiencing the touch, he couldn't help but blush slightly.

"Hey, Orson, are you blushing?"

"Little girl!" Seeing that Li Te was teasing him, Orson quickly pulled out his hand and gave Li Te a knife on his forehead.

"I am an adult male. Before you act, please carefully consider the consequences that provoking an adult male may bring to you."

Orson said half-warning and half-jokingly, and then continued to praise:

"Originally, I thought that if you wore men's clothing for so long, you would become somewhat unfeminine. It seems that I was overly worried."

"Hey! I'm the same age as you, Orson, after all!"

"Yes, but you can't tell at all. Believe it or not, if you go out now, nine out of ten people will say we are brother and sister."

"Tsk, isn't it because you are taller?"

"Sorry, being tall means you can do whatever you want." Orson smiled, then put his hand on Lit's head and rubbed it.

Although Lit said one thing, his body showed another. Feeling Orson's touch, Lit still squinted his eyes comfortably like a kitten.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door downstairs, and the charming atmosphere between the two people disappeared instantly. Orson hurriedly pushed Lit into the room, and he went downstairs to greet the guests.

Orson came to the door and opened it. Standing at the door was Elsa, who had some unpleasantness with Orson before.

"Princess? What are you doing here?" Orson asked puzzledly.

"Well... I want to ask Orson about something."

"Oh, okay, please come in and talk." Orson said this while taking Elsa to the living room.

"Princess, please go ahead and tell me everything I know." Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Orson looked at Elsa and asked.

"Uh, isn't Litt in the dormitory today?"

"Are you looking for Litt? He's resting upstairs. If you want to find him, I'll go and call him down for you now."

"Uh, that's not necessary." Elsa shook her head, and then said: "I came here this time to ask about the details of the Mudrick series of cases."

"Didn't I report the specific details to you, Your Highness, before? You should know everything."

"What we asked was not accurate at the time. We just asked roughly about the occurrence and process of the incident."

"Now that we have examined Mudrick's body and read the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group, we have obtained some detailed intelligence and have some new questions, so I would like to ask you to answer them one by one for me here, okay?"

"Of course." Orson nodded. "I've said it before, I'll tell you everything I know."

"Okay, then, I want to ask, the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group was invaded before, right?"

"It should have happened, I don't know the details, but Your Highness Princess, you know that the members of the mercenary group are generally not very disciplined, especially in their daily lives, so Saint Laurent City will arrange them in the marginal city, right?"

"..." Elsa stared at Orson, "You know that's not what I mean."

"I want to ask, you should have conspired to get rid of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group before, right?"

"Of course, after all, the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group is going to harm our family's benefactor, so we certainly can't sit idly by, but we didn't think about destroying the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group at the time, just teaching them a little lesson."

The legal system of the empire is actually quite strange. Although private fights are expressly prohibited, it is very vague when it comes to trial and conviction.

The same is true for murders. Unless the dead person is a noble or a very influential businessman, their family will pay a large sum of money to the court or the police station to persuade them to investigate. If a person is missing from a resident's home or someone dies inexplicably outside, the police station will only register the case and basically will not handle it. At most, they will ask the police to take a look at the situation and make a record.

If you really want to solve the case, you have to hire a private detective to follow the clues.

"I'll be frank." Elsa said. "Orson, didn't you say before that you don't like me beating around the bush to threaten you?"

"This time I won't mention that the wounds on the Iron Wolf Mercenaries were not caused by the crazy Mudrick, nor will I mention that you developed underground forces in the Imperial City, let alone that you secretly sent people to sneak into other people's garrisons to mess up other people's contracts."

"I can ignore all these, I just ask one question." Elsa said this, raised her finger and made a "one" sign.

"Drizzt, the lord of Constant City, a small city near Saint Laurent City, died. Do you have any clues?"

"What clues can I have?" Orson tilted his head and looked at Elsa in confusion.

"Although it's close to the Imperial City, the other party is just a small baron. Would I go out of my way to think about him? That's not a joke."

Chapter 111: Heart for heart (5K)

"Yes, I wouldn't have thought about it." Elsa nodded, "But..."

As she said this, Elsa took out a contract, which was signed between the Iron Wolf Mercenaries and Drizzt.

"Baron Drizzt had cooperated with the Iron Wolf Mercenaries before his death. Recently, the only ones who can take action against Baron Drizzt and have the motive to do so are you."

Seeing that Orson was about to say something, Elsa interrupted Orson.

"Don't talk to me about logic. I know I'm not as good at talking as you."

"Heart for heart, tell me if it has anything to do with you, and I'll help you cover it up and let you get rid of it completely."

"No need." Orson shook his head.

Since Elsa had already insisted that he did it, he couldn't deny it.

He didn't know how Elsa got the information, as he obviously didn't leave any clues during the process.

You can't just ask a fortune teller to figure it out, right?

But no matter what, Orson himself still doesn't want to have too much to do with Elsa in this matter.

Elsa's identity has already been decided, and if Orson cooperates with her, someone will definitely make a fuss about it.

Although the rise of emperors in the past has been accompanied by a period of internal fighting, but now Orson has no power except his status as the son of a duke. The real decision-making power is still in the hands of his father Lucius, and he is not willing to be a cheat. The son, therefore, would not force Lucius to switch sides with him through his decisions at school.

"Why?" Elsa showed a puzzled expression. "Although Baron is the lowest level of hereditary noble title, they are also nobles protected by the laws of the empire!"

In the empire, there is a law that forever distinguishes nobles from civilians, wealthy businessmen, and the like. It is also this law that divides the empire into two camps: nobles and non-aristocratic.

Businessmen struggled to spend money to become nobles because of this law.

That is the "Nobility Protection Act".

At the beginning of the establishment of the empire, although the first emperor enfeoffed many nobles, large and small, the power and influence of the central government was still very large at that time.

After a few generations, the ruler's ability gradually declined and he could no longer suppress the local power, so he created several grand dukes and handed over all the land outside the direct jurisdiction of the royal family to the dukes.

However, in order to prevent the dukes from directly administering the land too smoothly and arbitrarily annexing their lands to further expand their own strength, the emperor of the empire at that time also formulated a set of laws specifically to protect the small nobles while ensuring the starvation of the current political system. .

The "Nobles Protection Act" clearly mentions that since nobility exists because their families have made great contributions to the empire in history, the life and property rights of all nobles are protected by the empire, including future generations. . Once an ordinary person attempts to undermine these two rights of the nobles, the empire will directly punish them.

In all social situations, when ordinary people see nobles wearing their family coat of arms, no matter whether the noble is as big as a duke or prince, or as small as a baron, they must salute the noble.

The superior lords of a noble are not allowed to take back the noble's fiefs at will, unless the noble has done enough damage to the empire to offset the contribution of his ancestors.

As for the judging criteria, it all depends on the judgment of the Imperial Court.

Yes, the role of the Imperial Court is not to hear cases between ordinary people.

Ordinary people are not worthy of the services of a judge.

Only nobles, and the wealthy businessmen who joined later, could mediate interest disputes through the courts.

When land and property disputes arise between nobles, or when human lives are directly involved, the Imperial Court will take charge of mediating these issues.

As for the credibility of the Imperial Court, it has been guaranteed.

There are a total of seven justices in the Imperial Court, one from each of the royal territories and each duchy. Once appointed, they serve for life until they voluntarily retire.

There is no need to worry about the situation where the chief judge bends the law for personal gain during the trial of the case. There is a more powerful judge above the imperial court, and that is the emperor.
