Chapter 42: Figured it out

"Lianka, how did you find my room?"

"Oson, please stop asking this question and let me in first."

Hearing what the other party said, Orson reluctantly made way for him, and then Lianka walked into Orson's room.

Seeing the reddish expression on the other person's face and the faint smell of alcohol on her body, Orson knew without even thinking that Lianka had probably been drinking.

"Lianka, did you drink tonight?"

"Well, I drank a little at the aristocratic party, but it doesn't matter. I'm sober now." With that said, Lianka sat on the sofa in Orson's room and turned her head to look at Orson.

"Orson, close the door."

"Yeah." Orson nodded and closed the door.

"That's right." Orson finally thought about it at this time. "Lianka, isn't Olivia with you?"

"Sister, she said she didn't feel well, so she didn't go to the party." Lianka shook her head.

"Then why don't you just go back to your sister's room and come to my place instead?"

"I..." Lianka was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "I have something to ask you, Orson."

"Then just say it here." Orson looked at Lianka's state and shook his head inwardly.

This little girl is good at everything, but she doesn't seem to have a very bright mind.

He was already prepared. If Lianka simply came to him to get drunk or say something strange, he would go upstairs and call Olivia immediately.

"Orson, come here."

Lianka said this, patted the table next to her, and motioned for Orson to sit across from her.

Orson did so.

"Hey, Orson, don't you like your sister?"

"Huh?" Orson was stunned for a moment when he heard this. "Why do you say that?"

He hadn't noticed it when he was at the door just now, but now that Lianka was sitting opposite him, Orson felt it.

"I feel that my sister was obviously unhappy at home for a while. When I asked, she said she was fine."

"Obviously, my sister would hide nothing from me before, so I wonder if it's because of you, Orson..."

With that said, Lianka looked at Orson.

"Is it because you made your sister angry, Orson?"

When Orson heard what Lianka said, he suddenly felt guilty in his heart.

It was obvious that Olivia was taking her duties as a good wife seriously, always silently supporting herself, and basically never interfering in her personal affairs.

"Sure enough." Lianka saw that Orson didn't reply to her immediately, and she knew that her guess was probably true.

"Did you properly resolve the matter when you and your sister were chatting alone?"

"Probably...that's it."

"..." Lianka stared at Orson's eyes for a long time, and then sighed.

"I hope you didn't lie to me." After saying that, Lianka stood up.

"Orson, if you were asked to choose between me and my sister now, which one would you choose?"

"Olivia." Orson answered without any hesitation this time.

"Then why do you want to make your sister unhappy again?" She said this and came to Orson's side.

"Hey, Orson, do you feel a little unsatisfied with your sister alone?"

Before Lianka could finish speaking, Orson grabbed Lianka by the back of her collar and lifted her up.

"You drank too much." He said coldly, then took Lianka out of the room, came upstairs, and knocked on Olivia's door.

"Huh?" Olivia looked at Orson and the still resisting Lianka in his hand, and was stunned for a moment.

"Orson, let me go! I told you I'm not drunk!" Lianka's little hands fluttered in an attempt to break away from Orson, but it was in vain.

At this moment, Lianka heard Olivia's voice.

"Lianka? Why did Orson bring you back?" There was a trace of doubt in her tone, but Lianka could clearly hear the anger contained in it.

"That...sister...I..." When Lianka saw Olivia, her whole body shrank.

"Lianka went to a noble party tonight and drank too much. Then she ran to the door of my room and knocked on the door."

"A gathering of nobles?" Olivia was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then her face turned dark.

"Lianka, didn't you tell your sister that you wanted to go out and read alone today? Did you see her in the bar?"

Then, she took Lianka directly from Orson.

"Sorry, Orson, I didn't discipline Lianka myself. I'm really sorry for letting her bother you so late..." As she said this, she gave Lianka a fierce look.

"It's okay, it's okay." Orson waved his hand quickly.

"By the way, Lianka didn't say anything weird to you, right?"

"Weird words?" When Orson heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head. "It's nothing. Mainly because I saw Lianka was drunk, so I sent her up quickly."

Lianka didn't say anything weird if she wanted to, but considering that the two would meet again in the future, and that if Olivia heard this, it might damage the relationship between the sisters, Orson didn't say it.

But it’s true that Lianka seemed to hate herself so much, but she chose to run to her when she was drunk.

Is it because she felt that he didn't like her either, so he wouldn't attack her?

Then, Orson exchanged a few words with Olivia and left here, leaving the rest of the time to the two sisters.

...

In the room, Olivia and Lianka sat opposite each other.

"Lianka, what did you say to Orson?"

"I... I don't remember clearly, but it shouldn't be something too much, right?" Lianka shuddered and tried to get away with it.

"Lianka, you didn't lie to your sister." Olivia still took out the set of words that were extremely foul to Lianka.

Sure enough, when Lianka heard this, her eyes immediately wavered.

"I... I'm sorry, sister. I wanted to make you happy, so I went to ask Orson whether he liked you or not..."

"After all, you had been locked in your room all that time before, and refused to come out to see me and my father. We were both very worried about you..."

Hearing Lianka say this, Olivia forced a smile, and then hugged her in her arms.

"Lianka, you idiot, even if you want to ask, it's me who should ask in person. If you help me on your own, it will only make Orson think I'm a hypocritical person, which will have the opposite effect." As she said this, Olivia gently touched Lianka's hair.

"Don't worry, sister was just thinking about some things during that time. You see, sister has figured it out now~"

What Olivia said was right. During that time, she was indeed depressed for a while because of various suspicions, but now she has figured it out.

She has figured out how to treat Orson.

Chapter 43: So crazy?

The next day, the Imperial Academy opened.

Orson caught Lit and Lena early in the morning and entered the Imperial Academy.

Passing Imperial Academy students took the initiative to greet their student union president.

After the end of the last semester, the war against the orcs, Orson's reputation in the entire Imperial Academy can be said to be unmatched.

He temporarily took over as the commander of the coalition forces, and then with extremely excellent strategic thinking, he fought the best record of the Empire against the orcs in nearly a hundred years.

Orson's own combat effectiveness is already a good general, and his performance against the orcs has demonstrated his excellent command ability.

However, the succession order of the Duke of Antica circulated by the upper class pushed the discussion about the relationship between Orson and Lit to a peak.

After all, there were many nobles attending the banquet at that time, and the word spread from one to ten and ten to a hundred. Not only among the upper class, but even among the common people, they knew that the youngest genius noble in the empire could not inherit the title.

Most people think that the reason is still because of blood.

After all, Litt is Lucius's biological child, while Orson is not. For the nobles who value bloodline very much, there is no problem with inheritance.

Some people also spread that Litt bewitched Lucius in a very short time after entering the upper class, and let Lucius pass the position of heir to Litt, and Orson did not object because of Lucius's upbringing.

But there is no doubt that although Orson's reputation is higher than before, his influence is not as good as before.

After all, your Orson's future is still unclear, but Litt is a real person who can inherit the dukedom.

Therefore, among the original Duke of Antica, some nobles who attached themselves to Orson instantly got in touch with Litt again after seeing that Orson could not inherit the title.

Litt found Orson for their fence-sitting behavior, and Orson just asked Litt to accept their so-called loyalty.

When the students who entered the academy greeted Orson, they also saw the new face next to Orson.

Most people were surprised by the characteristics of the other party.

Half-orc.

Yes, after Lena entered school, she did not choose to cover up her racial characteristics like Afro, but showed her ears and tail to outsiders.

This was not only Lena's own wish, Orson also suggested Lena to do so.

The future empire is bound to be diversified. If even a strong person of Lena's level needs to cover up her racial characteristics, how can we talk about diversity.

Many students of the Imperial Academy were surprised by Lena's appearance, and then curiosity and discrimination followed.

"Lena, you will go to class with Lit later. Your teacher should greet you in advance."

"I know!" Lena nodded, then said goodbye to Orson at the door of the teaching building, and followed Lit to her class.

When Orson turned around and prepared to go upstairs, a fragrant breeze blew on his face, and a pair of hands inexplicably held him.

"Orson, what are you doing?"

Olivia's slightly lazy voice came from his ears.

At the same time, the eyes of the surrounding classmates also gathered.

"Look, the rumors are true."

"Are Senior Orson and Senior Olivia really in that kind of relationship..."

"Wow, I'm so envious..."

"They are really a perfect match..."

Listening to the whispers of his classmates, Orson felt a little embarrassed at the moment.

But after all, the other party was Olivia, so Orson could only smile back.

"I just sent Lit and Lena to the classroom, and now I'm going to class."

"Then let's go together~"

After that, the two of them walked upstairs.

Leaving behind a lot of envious looks and whispers.

On the other side, Litt took Lena to the classroom.

Hekatia was already sitting on the podium waiting, and when she saw the two people coming in, she stood up quickly.

"Litt, the one next to you is Lena, the new classmate?"

"Yes." Litt nodded.

"Hello, Teacher Hekatia, I'm Lena. Today is my first time to enter school. Please give me more guidance!" Lena, who had done her homework, said politely.

"..." Feeling the feeling of Lena that made people want to get close to her, Hekatia, who had a bit of a dark personality, got goose bumps all over his body, but still said: "Give me more guidance in the future. From now on, you will be a student in the first grade, class one. Now you can sit behind Litt's seat. Anyway, the classroom is very big."

"Okay." After hearing what Hekatia said, Lena followed Litt to find her seat.

After all the students arrived, Hecate officially spoke:

"Well, good morning, classmates. The new semester is about to begin. Let me introduce the new students in our class."

"New students?" Some people asked in confusion.

"When did our college have such a system?"
