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

"Besides, I can see that Lite is a good boy. In time, he will definitely become a qualified nobleman and will not let you down." Orson said with a smile. "Okay, it's rare for you all to come here and enjoy the fine wine and feast. I won't disturb you anymore."

At the dinner table, a smile is often the most effective way to liven up the atmosphere.

Sure enough, after Orson said these words, the atmosphere on the court suddenly became lively, and many nobles began to chat with each other.

Many people also toasted to Orson, and Orson responded one by one.

The banquet, which was a little embarrassed by Lee Teuk's cough, was on track again.

Lucius looked at Orson's calm demeanor and felt very satisfied with this eldest son who had no blood of his own.

In his opinion, as the eldest son of the family, Orson's behavior alone makes people very comfortable, not to mention his extremely abnormal talent.

Letting him inherit the family seems to be the most correct decision.

However, the concept of blood deeply rooted in the hearts of nobles still made him instinctively resist this matter.

Therefore, he did not explicitly establish Orson as his successor.

He wanted to see if Li Teuk could inherit the family business when he grew up.

If Leeteuk is still considered a loser incapable of leading the family in the future, he will choose Rioson as his successor.

Otherwise, even if Orson is not willing, he will convince Orson to try his best to assist Li Te.

With this in mind, he looked at Leeteuk who was sitting next to Orson, eating his meal in silence without saying a word.

Beside him was Orson, who was facing a group of nobles and dealing with them.

Although he didn’t know why Orson’s attitude towards Leeteuk was unusually good, Lucius didn’t think this was a bad thing. On the contrary, the better the relationship between the two, and after Leeteuk became the heir to the duke, Orson would become even more Try your best to help Lee Teuk.

Your brother has shouldered a lot of things for you, but there are always some roads that you have to walk on your own.

Yes, Li Te.

Lucius looked at Li Te silently and thought in his heart.

Chapter 5: Count Karls who deliberately seeks trouble

The banquet was in full swing, but a gaze was fixed on Liteuk who was eating silently.

Count Carls, who had just been choked by Orson, was now looking at Li Te.

While pushing cups and changing cups, Orson noticed Count Carls. Seeing that he was looking in his direction but not speaking, he was a little confused.

Don't know what he is thinking.

Afterwards, Count Carls stood up and toasted Orson with a glass of wine.

"Master Osun, I'd like to propose a toast to you." With that said, he drank all the wine in the glass.

Without waiting for Orson to react, Count Karls continued: "As we all know, the Stranik family was founded on martial arts, and Mr. Orson is the most famous young talent in the empire. He must have inherited Duke Lucius's bravery. ”

What Earl Carls said when he stood up attracted the attention of everyone in the banquet, including Lite who lowered his head silently. At this moment, he also slowly stopped what he was doing.

"Master Li Te came back today, and I'm a little curious..." With that said, Earl Carls looked in Li Te's direction with a sharp look.

"Master Leeteuk, which outstanding trait did you inherit from Duke Lucius?"

After the words fell, the venue fell into silence.

The other nobles looked in the direction of Leeteuk and Lucius curiously.

Lucius and his wife, who were sitting at the top, looked a little helpless.

Mary even glanced at Karls with a slightly angry look, but due to the occasion, she was not easy to get angry.

Leeteuk lowered his head and remained silent.

Orson beside him was a little surprised by Karls' speech.

What does Count Karls mean?

I finally managed to get the topic away from Li Teuk, so that Li Teuk's first day at home would go as smoothly as possible, and he would try not to irritate Li Teuk's self-esteem and prevent him from becoming a black man.

As a result, the other party brought the topic back to Lee Teuk?

Are you trying to find trouble on purpose?

Thinking this, Orson couldn't help but prepare to stand up.

"Mr. Orson." Carls saw Orson's actions and said hurriedly: "I know that Mr. Li Te has just returned home, and you are very 'loving' to this younger brother. However, excessive doting will not make the child grow. On the contrary, It will stop it from moving forward.”

"Is this the reason why Mr. Osen loves Mr. Li Te so much?" After Kars finished speaking, he deliberately showed a surprised look.

"Ah, I'm really sorry. I accidentally said a little too much. Mr. Osen probably won't mind my harsh advice, right?"

Orson frowned as he saw Karls showing off his ugly appearance.

He wanted to kick the other party out directly, but first of all, the other party was invited by his father and he couldn't offend his father's face.

On the other hand, the other person is probably trying to provoke him on purpose.

You know, Lucius is still here now, and he is the real master of the Stranik family.

If Orson gets angry at Count Carles despite Lucius, how will everyone think of Orson?

No matter how big or small, they are pampered and proud.

This is all pretty good.

If people think that Orson is impatient for the inheritance and wants to seize power after seeing Li Teuk's arrival, then there will be a big problem.

Therefore, at this time, we still have to leave the matter to Lucius.

Orson turned his head in the direction of Lucius, who was now thinking about something.

Then, he raised his head and looked at Karls.

"Count Karls, I remember that your family should have made a fortune in business in the early years, right?"

"Indeed." Karls nodded. He was a little confused and didn't know why Lucius asked this question.

"So, you should have inherited the expertise of your elders in the family and are good at business, right?" Lucius raised his eyebrows and said. "But why did the financial report you handed me last month show a decline in business activities in the territory?"

"This..." Count Carls was a little nervous when he heard Lucius's mocking and accusing words.

"Your Majesty Duke, please listen to my explanation. There are many reasons for this result..."

"No need to explain." Lucius interrupted Count Carls. "According to what you said, Count Carls, shouldn't you be good at business?"

Seeing the tit-for-tat situation on the field, other nobles spoke to calm the atmosphere.

"Your Excellency, Count Karls is also a

Very kind. "

"Yes, yes, Mr. Li Te is your son after all, and he will inherit your position in the future."

"What Count Carls said is not unreasonable. He has been in the country for so long, and he has fallen far behind others in terms of education. If he continues to spoil him, he will probably spoil his children."

Orson clenched his fists in anger as he listened to what the nobles below said to each other.

Are you co-authoring it because you are afraid that the world will not be in chaos?

On the first day Li Teuk entered the family, he talked about inheritance rights.

Are you afraid that others don’t know that you, Duke Lucius, have two sons competing for power?

Orson looked at Lite beside him. At this moment, he was bowing his head in silence and stopped moving his hands.

Damn it, maybe Leeteuk was provoked by this group of people and began to feel that everything he had done before was false!

Just when Orson was about to explain to Li Te, Lucius stood up directly.

"Everyone, I invite you here today because you are my vassals and friends, Lucius."

"The family banquet is just to celebrate that my long-lost son Li Te has finally returned home." Lucius said this and looked at the nobles headed by Count Carls. "If you are not satisfied with the food and drinks at the banquet, you can leave. I won't care about it."

"But if you continue to mention irrelevant things, don't blame me, Lucius, for driving you away!"

"As for the issue of Li Te's education that you mentioned, I won't bother you all. I will naturally arrange the best teachers for Li Te and work hard to train him to become a person who can compete for the duke's succession."

After saying these words, Lucius sat down heavily.

At this moment, his aura suddenly changed from an easy-going lord to a majestic soldier.

Seeing that Lucius had spoken, the other nobles present could not say anything more.

"Okay, okay, today is a big day, please don't make it unpleasant." At this time, Mary next to Lucius also came out to adjust the atmosphere.

Liteuk was sitting on the chair. She didn't know why, even though she had done nothing, the focus of the conversation still revolved around him.

Sure enough, don’t everyone like themselves?

Thinking this, his mood dropped.

Regarding inheritance rights, Li Teuk had no idea about it. After all, he had just entered the family and did not understand the aristocracy.

He didn't even know what his father's title of duke meant.

"Don't think so much." At this time, Orson said in his ear. "Just eat in peace."

"Well, thank you, Brother Orson." Lit nodded.

This was the first thing he said after coming to the table.

Chapter 6: The smell of brother Orson

During the following banquet, the atmosphere relaxed a lot.

What these nobles are best at is flattering and clinging to the powerful. Therefore, even if Lucius just scolded them a minute ago, they can still lick their faces and come up to him.

But fortunately they were thick-skinned and the atmosphere of the banquet was not dull.

Half an hour later, the dishes in front of Li Te were all wiped out. At this time, he was a little at a loss.

But he was afraid that he would do something wrong, so he simply looked down at his knees and did nothing.

Orson had just returned a glass of wine and turned his head to see that the plate in front of Li Te was empty. He understood immediately, and then he walked over to Lucius.

"Father, it seems that Li Te is not quite used to the current environment. He has finished his meal. How about I take him back to his room first?"

"Okay." Lucius nodded.

After getting Lucius's permission, Orson came to Li Te.

"Li Teuk, you probably don't feel comfortable here." Orson said softly, putting his head in front of Li Teuk so that Li Teuk could see him.

Then he showed a smile.

"You've been riding in the carriage all day today. You must be tired. Why don't you go upstairs and take a rest?"

"Eh? Is that okay?" Hearing this, Li Te looked at Orson in surprise. "But, would it be bad if I left early?"

"Good boy, no one will blame you." Orson said with a smile.

As expected of the protagonist, his personality is also so lovable. Even if he knows that he can't handle this kind of situation, he still has to hold on to not embarrass his family.

Then, Orson raised a glass of wine, stood up and looked at the nobles around him.

"Everyone, Li Teuk has been tired from traveling today. In addition, he just returned from outside and is slightly ill, so he can't be here to accompany you. I will take Li Te first.

I'm going up here, and I'll come down to accompany you in a while. "

"Okay, okay."

"It's okay, Master Orson, please go first."

"Master Lit and Master Orson are such good brothers, there is really no need to worry about the future."

The nobles praised Orson one after another, and except for Count Carls who had just been choked, they all stood up and greeted the two masters.

Orson came to the second floor, and the maid Vivian was already waiting at the stairs.

Seeing the two young masters coming up, she hurriedly came up to greet them.

"Master Orson, Master Lit."

"Vivian, is Lit's room cleaned up?" Orson asked hurriedly.

"Uh... I'm not Master Lit's maid, I don't know about this..." Vivian said this and bowed to the two to apologize.
