It seems that what Liraya and Mukaen did made the entire Ioge family vigilant.

When I came to the mansion and saw Lorraine's figure, a hearty voice sounded first.

"Second Highness, I have always wanted to find a chance to meet you, but I didn't expect you to come to visit me in person today."

Facing the man who enthusiastically came to shake his hand and say hello, Lorraine didn't know how to react for a moment.

"Father, you are so rude." Lil next to her went up to stop the man's behavior.

"Oh oh oh." When Lil said this, the man took a step back, scratching his head in embarrassment.

"Father?" Lorraine looked at the man. Lil said before that her father wanted to see her, but he never had the chance.

"Your Highness, this must be the first time we have met. Please forgive me for my rudeness just now." The man returned to his original aristocratic temperament and bowed to Lorraine, "I am Lil's father, Lenore Iog. , some time ago, my daughter was helped by you."

"You are serious." Lorraine shook his head.He didn't help Lil much, but he helped Xueni with the help of Lil.

Called by Leno, Lorraine sat down with him, while Lil stood quietly beside Leno after pouring tea for the two of them.

"I heard that His Highness the Second Highness left the capital before, and he came back this time to visit His Majesty." Leno didn't know the specific situation of Baneka, but he also had a general idea.

"Well, I just got back from there."

"The eldest prince seems to be in trouble recently, and you should be quite worried." Leno took a sip of tea, and then said, "Based on your friendship with Lil, if you need any help, I will definitely try my best to help you."

"It's not about helping, but there is something I want to ask Lil about."

"Oh?" Leonor frowned, put down the cup in his hand, and his tone became serious, "Second Highness, you don't mean to inquire about that matter, do you?"

Feeling Leno's momentum, Lorraine swallowed subconsciously. When it came to her daughter, Leno had nothing to joke about.

"Ah."

"If you are also here to plead for the Gretel family or the Knights, then forgive me for declining."

Lorraine looked at Lil, and found that Lil was smiling wryly at herself.

Leno would listen to Lil about many things, but this was the only thing, no matter what she said, Leno would not listen.

Lorraine said, "It's just that you don't think this time is very similar to the last time Lil was poisoned?"

Leno rubbed his chin. He knew what happened last time from Lil, "What you want to say is that the Mogg family was responsible for this incident? No, it's the Jonaka family?"

Because before Lorraine left, he specifically told Lil about Ole's cooperation with him, which made Lil more careful, which was also part of the reason why Mukan and Liraya failed.

"I think it should be." Lorraine still remembered the sick look on Ole's face when he asked him to cooperate.

Lorraine was a little curious, if he agreed at that time, would he be the one locked up now?

"When interrogating them, they did mention that it was a mysterious person who gave them the comatose drug."

Speaking of this, Leno was a little startled, if the two people hadn't bumped into each other's drugging process and broke it down, no one would have noticed.

And that food, after finding someone to eat it and falling into a coma, it was confirmed that the hands and feet had been tampered with, otherwise it would not be possible to see anything strange.

"But there is no clue as to the origin of that mysterious man."

At first, Leno wondered if the mysterious person was made up by the two of them, but the characteristics of the medicine they took out were the same, which made him wonder if someone was pushing it, but even if he thought it was the Mogg family and Jonah What the Ka family did, there is no evidence.

"Is it like this?" Lorraine's face was also serious.

The person I suspected at the beginning was Laai who poisoned him last time. I originally wanted to see if I could catch something.

As a quasi-queen, Oulie is naturally not very active, so Lorraine can only find Laai to start.

She did this for Ole, and the relationship between the two should be unusual. Lorraine wanted to use this to see if he could ask what was going on with Baneka and Romon, but there was no reason now.

Chapter 13

smell like another girl

"Second Highness, don't you want to stay for a while? Or stay after dinner and leave."

Leno and Lil looked at Lorraine who was about to leave, and wanted to persuade them to stay.

Although they also chatted a lot about what happened in the capital during this period, they still had no idea about some situations, and it was getting late, so Lorraine could only prepare to leave.

"I've been bothering you for too long today, so I won't bother you anymore." Lorraine said to the two of them.

The two times I came here, I basically came here because I had something to do, instead of just visiting, which made me somewhat embarrassed.

Watching Lorraine get into the carriage and go away, Leno stood still and watched the direction where Lorraine disappeared.

"Father? What's the matter?" Seeing Leonor's strange appearance, Lil stepped forward and asked.

"It's okay." Leno shook his head, and then said, "Lil, is this Second Highness the only one who comes to our house and behaves the most normally?"

Whether it was earlier or recently, those who came to visit Iog's house were basically those noble children who came to express their so-called love to Lil.

Sometimes even Leno can get goosebumps, so when these people come, Leno can't choose.

And this Lorraine, at least in his opinion, was the only one who came to talk about business.

"Probably." Lil also smiled, and Lorraine was also one of the few people who didn't find it strange to talk to her.

"Then do you think he has a fiancé?"

Hearing what Leno said, Lil was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied, "It should be."

"Hey, do you have it?" Leno touched his chin, "Which noble lady is it?"

I haven't moved much between myself and the royal family. Except for the marriage contract between the eldest prince Romon and Ole, I really don't know who Lorraine has a marriage contract with.

"You'll know when the time comes." Lil understood Leno, and in this situation, it was better to end the topic as soon as possible.

On the carriage, Lorraine rubbed his eyebrows. He should have gone to all the places he was going to go today, but he didn't seem to get any useful news no matter where he was.

On the other hand, Zeth seemed indifferent. It is better to say that these things have nothing to do with him, but seeing Lorraine like this, he also cared a little bit, and said, "If you really want to get out of that mouth called Laai If you say something, wouldn't it be enough to scare her?"

"Scare her?" Lorraine didn't understand what he meant.

Dace sat up a little bit, "It's just intimidation. See what she is most afraid of, and use that thing to scare her."

Zeth, who has been wandering the streets of the capital for many years, knows very well that when a person is in a state of panic, that is when the psychological defense line is at its lowest.

At this time, relying on the pressure of this thing, it is easy to get the desired information or things from the other party.

Just on the premise, you must know this person well.

"What is she afraid of..." Lorraine remembered that when he was investigating Lai's affairs, he had read all her information.

What she was afraid of was similar to other normal people, so it was impossible for him to frighten her with a snake in front of her, to get her words out.

"Do you think there is something that everyone is very afraid of?"

"Is everyone terrified?" Zeth pouted and looked at the top of the carriage, and said, "Then it's probably only ghosts."

After some practical things have been exercised, they can be a little bit resistant to their fears.But those illusory things, because it is difficult to describe them specifically, so if you want to overcome them, you don't know where to start.

But the question is, where to find ghosts?

Lorraine also felt that it was a bit of a fantasy, but after thinking about it, a feasible method flashed through Lorraine's mind.

"There may be a way."

Zeth looked at Lorraine in surprise, "You can't really find ghosts, can you?!"

"It may not succeed, just try."

Now for them, Laai is a breakthrough. If they can't get information from her, they will be in a passive state like those nobles, or Oulie will take the initiative to attack themselves.

Lorraine didn't think that Ole didn't know what some nobles wanted to pull her up, and she shouldn't allow this to happen.

Originally, Lorraine wanted to go back to his mansion directly, but when he thought of Xueni, he felt a little uneasy, so he had to go to Gretel's house instead.

Before Lorraine's carriage approached, several maids were anxiously lingering at the door, as if waiting for something.

Seeing Lorraine's carriage stop, they hurriedly leaned forward.

"Second Highness, you are finally back."

"What's wrong?" Lorraine felt something was wrong, because they seemed to be waiting for her, "Is something wrong with Xueni?"

"No." The maid continued, "It's just that the young lady has been lying on the bed since she woke up, and she hasn't eaten until now. She said she was waiting for you to come back."

"We don't know where to find you, so we can only wait here for your return."

Seeing that Xue Ni woke up, her spirits improved a lot, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They want to ask her to get up and eat something, after all, Xue Ni's body still needs to recover at this time.

But Xue Ni didn't want to get up at all, she just said that she would not get up until Lorraine came back, and then covered her head with the quilt, completely ignoring the persuasion of the maids.

The maids knew about Xueni's temperament a long time ago, but letting Xueni lie down like this is not an option, and they are even more difficult to explain.

"Uh." Lorraine scratched his head.

It just sounds like this, it kind of reminds Lorraine of the way she just met Xue Ni, and she just doesn't make any sense at all. Could it be because of returning to her own home?

Under the push and pull of the maids, Lorraine came to Xueni's room.

The maid slowly opened the door, then handed the prepared porridge to Lorraine, and whispered, "Second Highness, I'll leave it to you."

Lorraine smiled bitterly, walked to the bed with the porridge, and saw that Xue Ni was still covered under the quilt.

If it weren't for a few strands of hair protruding from the quilt, it might make people feel that no one is here.

Putting the porridge on the table next to the bed, Lorraine reached out to pull the quilt to see if Xue Ni fell asleep again.

As if feeling Lorraine's movements, the quilt was lifted all of a sudden, and then a figure jumped out like a cat, and jumped on Lorraine.

Lorraine kept as still as possible, letting Xueni hold her, for fear that if she moved, she would touch Xueni's still bandaged shoulders.

Looking at Xueni's forehead and hair that were a little wet because she was covered with the quilt, Lorraine said, "It looks like you're awake."

"Ah."

Instead of waking up, it would be better to say that Xue Ni woke up not long after Lorraine left, but she was lying on the bed in a daze without moving until the maids came in with food.

"Then let's eat something."

Seeing Xueni like this, Lorraine felt a little relieved.

Just when Lorraine was about to pick up the porridge next to him, Xue Ni kept sniffing at Lorraine.

"Sniff... Sniff..."

Lorraine didn't understand what Xueni meant by doing this, "Is there anything strange?"

Xue Ni sniffed Lorraine's shoulder, then left Lorraine's embrace slightly, and stared at Lorraine with a very unhappy expression, "You seem to smell like another girl."

Chapter 14

knead me down

"Are you there?" Frightened by Xueni's sudden appearance, Lorraine raised his shoulder and smelled it, but he didn't smell any special smell.

"Yes." Xue Ni remained unhappy, but her tone became firm.

"Where did you go today?"

"Where did you go..." Lorraine turned his face away with a dry smile.

I didn't want to tell Xueni what happened today, rather, Lorraine didn't plan to tell Naba, because there are still many uncertainties in it, and I don't know how to solve it.

But the more Lorraine kept like this, the more Xue Ni felt that Lorraine had done something behind his back.

Xue Ni stretched out her only movable hand, turned Lorraine's head, and said word by word, "Tell... tell... me!"

This kind of scene gave Lorraine a feeling of déjà vu, but that time she seemed to be angry that she didn't even know what was going on, and she was yelling, what are you doing to me.

Instead of asking yourself directly like you are doing now.

Lorraine sighed, no matter which method it is, it seems to be quite useful for Xueni.

"It's okay to tell you." Lorraine picked up the porridge next to him, and continued, "But you have to eat first."

"Feed me while you talk."

"Alright, alright."
