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

By the time Downey and several bribed members of the student union came to the stage, there was already a wave of abuse and criticism in the audience.

It's hard to imagine that these people were helping Donnie scold Orson and Leeteuk two days ago, but now they turned their guns and started pointing them at themselves.

"Then, this hearing begins." As several witnesses came on stage, Olivia announced the hearing.

Compared with yesterday's hearing, this hearing was much more complicated. First of all, there were several suspects. Although the biggest suspect was only Downey, other student union members who accepted bribes must also be punished.

In addition, Donny and Manuel, two sons of the Duke, also appeared in the suspect and witness seats respectively.

Manuel's testimony was, of course, what Downey said when he invited him to dinner that day.

As the hearing progressed, the revelations in the testimony allowed the students below to see Downey's true face.

Many of Downey's original younger brothers also chose to remain silent at this moment.

Although their mission was to assist Downey, in this situation, it was obviously wiser not to speak.

However, Downey had already planned to be suspected of bribery from the beginning, and had already arranged his informants in the student union to prepare a confession in advance. With the unanimous confession, the hearing was unable to make progress for a while.

But the most important witness, Tyrell, has been unable to arrive.

Donnie looked down and found Orson sitting in the front row, looking back anxiously.

When Danny heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

Unexpectedly, Orson, Tyrell can't enter the school now, he has been expelled from the school.

The witness you relied on most is now gone.

In this way, as long as he bites the bullet to provide academic support for some classmates in the student union, plus he

As the Duke's son, the final result of the hearing must be nothing.

Who knows, Orson suddenly met Donnie's eyes.

Orson looked at the provocation in Donnie's eyes and sneered.

This is what he was waiting for.

Give the other person hope when they are desperate, and then crush the hope when the other person thinks they have hope.

This is the most profound and effective impact on people.

Seeing that the time was right, Orson stood up directly and walked to the stage.

Then, he handed over a recording magic stone and several pieces of parchment, and handed them to Olivia's hands.

Olivia deliberately showed a surprised expression, and then looked towards the audience.

"I'm sorry, everyone, just now, President Orson provided extremely important information, which is a video magic stone and several account pages recording classmate Downey's transactions..."

Then, Olivia picked up the magic stone and poured magic power into it. Then, the image appeared in front of everyone present.

"Ahem, can you hear me?" The person who appeared on the screen was clearly Tyrell.

Based on the brightness of the light in the picture, it seems to have been recorded in the afternoon.

"This image was recorded this afternoon." Orson added at the right time.

Donnie looked at Tyrell in the light screen with a very ugly expression.

He didn't expect that Tyrell would actually dare to go against him.

Did Orson drug him or something? Isn't he afraid that he will do something to his family?

Doesn't he have anyone in the family that he cares about?

"Well, hello, fellow students, I am Tyrell, the same Tyrell who was just expelled from Imperial College..."

In the light curtain, Tyrell first introduced himself, and then went straight to the topic.

"Regarding what happened yesterday, I actually regret it because I didn't say something very important." Tyrell said this with a look of shame on his face.

"I deceived everyone. In fact, the reason why I did the things I did before was all because of Downey's instructions."

"As we all know, Downey is the son of the Duke of Naples, and my father is just a little count under the Duke of Naples. Therefore, for the sake of the interests of the family, I can only listen to Downey's words..."

"Growing up, I have always followed Donnie's orders. Because of this, Donnie felt that I was easy to bully. He gave me all kinds of dirty work and all kinds of scapegoats."

"And just yesterday, I still retained my ridiculous loyalty to Mr. Downey, and wanted to go to him to say goodbye. Unexpectedly, he locked me up and beat me up, and this morning he was planning to send someone to arrest me."

"If Mr. Osun hadn't helped me, I might have been kidnapped back now."

"Now, I've had enough, I want to expose Downey." Tyrell said, raising his hands.

Then, he revealed all the details of his humiliation of Li Teuk at the beginning and his plot to assassinate Li Teuk in front of his classmates.

Listening to what Tyrell said, Downey clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly with anger.

Then, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, punched the table with his fist, stood up and pointed at Orson.

"Orson, what method did you use!?"

"Classmate Downey, please exercise restraint!" Olivia frowned as she watched Downey's movements.

"Restraint?!" Downey said, looking at the students in the audience.

"Everyone, have you forgotten?! What is Orson's identity? He is the student council president!"

"Don't you think this video is fake?" Downey said, spreading his hands towards the students in the audience, pretending to be innocent.

"Classmates! This is a struggle. Orson wants to drive me out of Imperial College, so he did so much..."

"That's enough! Everyone, be quiet!" At this moment, Luca's stern reprimand sounded outside the auditorium.

Then, Luka led a group of soldiers into the auditorium.

The classmates were all stunned.

In principle, the Imperial Academy does not allow outsiders to enter. Where did these soldiers come from?

After the soldiers were in position, a blue-haired middle-aged man wearing platinum-colored clothes walked in outside the door.

She has blue hair as clear as water, emerald-like blue eyes, and a calm and authoritative temperament.

The moment they saw the person coming, all the students present stood up consciously.

Imperial Emperor, Odysseus Lancais

special.

Imperial College generally does not receive foreign guests, except for royal visits.

Then, behind Odysseus, six middle-aged men followed.

They are the six great dukes of the empire.

Orson, Lit, Olivia, Lianka, Manuel and Donnie, their fathers are among them.

As for the Duke of Orleans and the Duke of Lucia, their children have graduated from the Imperial College.

"See your majesty." Orson said, walked to Odysseus and bowed respectfully to him.

"Yes." Odysseus nodded, and then sat in the VIP seat in the front row.

Luca and the Dukes also sat on either side of Odysseus.

Now Donnie knew why the VIP seats were empty at the beginning.

"You can continue with the hearing. We won't interrupt, we are just listening." Odysseus said this and motioned for Olivia to continue.

"Okay." Olivia nodded.

"Why is this hearing being held?" In the audience, Odysseus looked at Luca sitting next to him and asked.

"That's right, Your Majesty, according to reports from classmates, classmate Downey is suspected of bribing members of the student union, and is also suspected of accusing, threatening, and assassinating others."

"Oh?" Odysseus raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then looked at Giovanni next to him.

"Duke Giovanni, you really raised a good son."

"..." Giovanni was silent for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, I believe that my son would not do such a thing. All of this should be just false accusations by people with ulterior motives who want to harm the Florence family. reputation.”

"I hope so." Odysseus said nothing more, but continued to watch the hearing on the stage progress.

After the emperor arrived, Downey obviously calmed down a lot and became more rational.

"I would like to ask everyone here about the evidence of the video magic stone that you gave." Downey said this and looked at the people in the audience. "If Tyrell said this involuntarily when he was under coercion or under the influence of magic, can this statement still be regarded as a confession?"

After saying this, the students in the audience immediately started whispering.

"You don't have to worry about this, Mr. Downey." Orson said, stood up and pointed to the door of the auditorium.

Danny looked along, and then his eyes widened.

At the entrance of the auditorium, Tyrell was standing there, glancing around at the people in the auditorium.

For a long time, as if he had made great mental preparations, Tyrell lowered his head, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and then walked towards the last empty witness seat on the auditorium stage.

(PS: I wonder if you enjoyed reading this 1.2W word chapter? Some of the foreshadowing of the previous article is also revealed in this chapter. If you have any other opinions, please continue to leave a message to tell me)

Chapter 81: How can I win when there is a best actor? (1.2W)

Time goes back to three hours ago.

In recent days, in response to the orc tribe that continues to be active on the eastern border, the emperor invited the six great dukes to a meeting in Saint Laurent City to discuss related matters.

Since it was an invitation from the emperors, no matter how busy the dukes were, they could only find time to come to the imperial city.

Moreover, the problem of orcs should not be underestimated. After all, eighteen years ago, orcs invaded the empire and burned, killed, and looted wantonly on the territory of what is now the Duchy of Antica, causing great damage to the empire.

At that time, the empire relied on Lucius's command to drive the orcs back to the desert where they originally lived, but they were unable to pursue them.

In the past ten years, although the orcs and the empire have still maintained a hostile attitude on the border, and some people are killed and injured every year due to small-scale military conflicts on the border, the recent movements of the orc tribes are obviously not right, and the number of conflicts on the border has increased significantly. Therefore, Lucius was previously worried about the army.

"So, have everyone here thought about it? Regarding the issue of border orcs."

"Your Majesty." At this time, Lucius stood up. "The areas infested by orcs are mainly our Antica region. As the eastern barrier of the empire, the Antica region has protected other areas of the empire from orcs for more than ten years."

He paused and continued: "However, at the same time, the development of Antica has been delayed. We can gather soldiers, but we cannot provide them with enough weapons and equipment, or even military pay and food."

"I understand." Odysseus nodded after hearing this, and then looked at the other Dukes. "You also know how much disaster the orc invasion brought to the empire eighteen years ago. If it weren't for Duke Lucius,

If the orcs were driven away at that time, your territory would not be better off. "

"Your Majesty, one code should be the same, right?" At this time, Giovanni, Duke of Naples, suddenly said. "Although Duke Lucius had merit in repelling the orcs, he also became a duke after all. This is an unprecedented compliment. Duke Lucius has been governing the Duchy of Antica for more than ten years, but now the border issues cannot be solved. Solve it yourself, isn’t this Mr. Lucius’s mismanagement?”

"..." Lucius stared at Giovanni without saying a word.

It is true that he is not good at internal affairs, but he delegates power to those who are good at it, and his governance is not bad.

It's just that the Dukedom of Antica was indeed rebuilt after the war, and its foundation is not as good as others. In addition, in order to guard against the orcs, military expenditures have always been high.

This was something that everyone present knew, but Giovanni kept silent about it and only talked about Lucius's problem.

"Okay, okay, we all know the difficulties of the Duchy of Antica." At this time, the kind-looking Duke William of Prussia came forward to help Lucius resolve the embarrassment.

"We all know that the Duke of Antica is in a difficult situation right now. Once there is a problem in Antica, our territory will also be affected. Then we should help them and work together to overcome the difficulties, right?" William said, giving made his own proposal. "My suggestion is that the rest of us help Lucius share some of the pressure and provide some war supplies to Duke Lucius."

"Duke William." At this time, Giovanni spoke again. "I don't mean to question Duke Lucius, but are you sure that if we provide supplies, it will be able to resist the orcs?"

"I'm not pessimistic, but as far as the current situation of the Duchy of Antica is concerned, it's hard for me to believe that our supplies can actually reach the front line. It is very likely that they will be corrupted before they reach the front line. Duke William, you can't do it because of Lucius The Duke is your relative, so you should protect him like this."

"Your Excellency Giovanni!" At this time, Lucius couldn't sit still. He knew that he and Giovanni had a feud when they were young, but he didn't expect that he could actually put the safety of the empire at risk because of this feud. "If you don't trust me as a person, I am willing to use my reputation to guarantee that every batch of supplies delivered to the Duchy of Antica can be used to resist the invasion of the orcs."

"No, no, no, no, Duke Lucius, I'm just saying that, there's no need to do this." Antika said, and then teased: "Speaking of reputation, Lord Lucius, I heard that you It seems that my son Lee Teuk was arrested for molesting a female classmate, right?”

"That's just a rumor!" Lucius said.

"Well, of course I believe this is a rumor, but flies don't bite seamless eggs." Giovanni said this with a hint of mockery in his tone.

At this time, Odysseus, who was sitting in the middle, patted the table and motioned for the two of them to be quiet.

"We are here to discuss national affairs, not gossip about whose son has done something." Odysseus said this and looked towards the audience. "Then let's vote next. Those who agree to support the Duchy of Antica, please raise your hands."

Saying this, Odysseus was the first to raise his hand.

Then, off the court, Lucius, William and Francois Toulouse, Duke of Orleans, all raised their hands.

Seeing that there were already four votes, Leon Lisanus, Duke of Aragon, and Ivan Petrov, Duke of Lucia, also raised their hands.

Then, everyone looked at Giovanni.
