Chapter 414

"To be honest, I worked for Mr. Osun before." Zenit said. "Not only that, I am also Mr. Osun's confidant, and I have gained enough trust from him."

"Oh? If that's the case, why did you betray Orson and choose to cooperate with me?" Giovanni raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "If you can't give me a suitable answer, you may not be able to leave this room today."

Saying this, Zenit could clearly feel the sudden change in the atmosphere in the room.

Obviously, there is a strong man who is secretly following and protecting Giovanni's personal safety, and the reason why Giovanni dares to say this is because this strong man gives him the cover.

"Because, I feel that Orson can't provide me with what I want." Zenit said this and shook his head. "As the saying goes, kindness cannot control soldiers, and kindness cannot control power. Although Mr. Osun may seem tough and capable to outsiders, in fact, he has a fatal flaw."

"Oh?" Giovanni became interested after hearing this.

How could a perfect person like Orson be considered flawed by others?

"Tell me about it?"

"Mr. Osun's ruthlessness is relative to that of his enemies, and once he is considered an ally by Mr. Osun, he will be given unlimited trust."

"It's a very simple truth. Don't trust those who employ them, and don't trust those who doubt them." Giovanni was a little confused.

If Zenit's answer to him was just this, then he would take action.

The reason why he acted according to the information given by Zenit before was entirely because even if the information was false, it would not cause any harm to him.

And if Zenit is a spy planted by Orson, then Giovanni obviously cannot accept it.

"But, he trusts Li Te too much." Zenit turned to say: "For him, Li Te and he are not related by blood, and there is an absolute competition for the succession of the duchy. ”

"But Mr. Osun doesn't know why, but he has been taking care of Little since he first entered the house."

"Even, Your Majesty Duke, guess why Duke Lucius clearly stated in his will that Li Te was his heir?"

"Obviously, he trusts Leeteuk to the point where it doesn't matter if he gives all the 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 and asked me to directly follow 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 if Austria

What will happen if Sen thinks I trust him? "

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

"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 any unnecessary words, 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.

Most of the last ones to leave were 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 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 surveying and mapping the entire empire."

"Yes." Orson nodded. "Congratulations to 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, will you hate Lucius for not making you the heir?"

"No, Your Majesty, the succession is my father's decision, and I completely follow his ideas."

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

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

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

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I think there will be good news in Saint Laurent City soon."

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

Orson didn't stand there for long, William came up.

"Mr. Orson, you don't have to worry too much about the succession. Regarding the marriage contract, Olivia and I have already confirmed it. Even if you are not the heir to the Duke, we will fulfill the marriage contract normally." William comforted.

"Duke William, you worry too much. I don't mind this matter that much."

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

Looking at William's peacemaker attitude, Orson reluctantly nodded.

"Okay, it's almost time. We should also set off to return to the Duke's territory."

At this time, William turned his back.

"What about you two? If you have anything to say to Orson, say it as soon as possible."

"That... Orson, see you next semester." Li'anka walked out first and said with a blushing face.

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

"O~Sen~" At this time, Olivia walked around behind Orson and whispered in Orson's ear: "When you came in just now, the little girl you brought in, I hope you can confess to me after school starts~"

As she said this, she smiled and distanced herself from Orson. Without waiting for Orson's reply, she pushed William and Li'anka away.

After seeing off one group of guests after another, the last guest also came to Orson.

"Chelinina, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you today." Orson said awkwardly.

"It's okay. I'm not surprised by anything that happens in aristocratic families." Chelinina shook her head. "But you, Orson, now that it's confirmed that you are not the heir to the Duke, what are you going to do next?"

"Me? Take it one step at a time. Now I have to finish my studies first, and then consider my future."

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

"Yeah." Orson nodded.

"..."Chelinina stared at Orson for a while, and when she saw that the expression on Orson's face did not change, she sighed.

"Oh, forget it." Chelinina continued to say: "Orson, do you 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 it.

"Oh, you forget it as soon as you see it." Chelinina said helplessly, but there was no anger in her tone. "That day, before I said goodbye to you, I said that if I really had to choose a duke as my backer, I would choose your family. Don't look down on me then."

"I think we should change our identities now." Cherylina said, smiling. "When I was most desperate, you showed up and helped me, so if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me."

"At worst, I will leave you a position as the chief consultant." Cherylina said with a smile, and then stretched out her finger and gently poked Orson's chest.

"Just now, you and your fiancee were so intimate, I saw it all, you are not allowed to forget me, otherwise I will get angry and do something irrational."

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

"Hehe, that's good~" Cherylina said, smiling and waving to Orson, and then left the Duke's Mansion.

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

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

After everyone left, Litt realized that there was another person she didn't know at home.

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

When Litt was about to approach Lena and ask her identity, Lena's cloak slipped down by itself, revealing Lena's face and a pair of huge fox ears on her head.

Litt was stunned.

Orcs! ?

What did his brother bring back from the desert?

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

"That..." Litt 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 so.

Then, Lena walked directly to Orson.

"Big brother, who is this sister?"

"Uh..." Orson was stunned.

"That..." Lit was also stunned when he heard Lena say that.

"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 Lit curiously.

Chapter 33: Have a good rest (3K)

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

In Orson's room.

Lena looked around and exclaimed.

"Wow, big brother, your house is really beautiful. What is this? A bed? Can I sleep on it?"

Looking at Lena who suddenly became lively, Lit took the opportunity to pull Orson aside.

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

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

Could it be that Orson actually has that kind of hobby?

But when I was in the imperial city before, I didn't see Orson have any strange feelings for the lion? Could it be that at that time, the lion was someone else's employee?

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

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

"As you can see, I'm Orson, the son of Lucius, Duke of Antica in the human empire." After saying this, he pointed to Litt beside him.

"And Litt next to me is also the son of the duke, so he is 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 big brother's family. A bad woman wanted to take away the big brother's property, but fortunately the big brother appeared in time and saved the situation.

"Brother Litt, it's our first meeting. I'm Lena. I'm sorry that I mistook you for my sister just now, but you are really beautiful."

Hearing Lena's good words, Litt's dissatisfaction with Lena gradually faded a little.

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