And it's a coincidence that these people basically have some estrangement from Jonaka's family, that is to say, they don't stand on Oulie's side.

If Romon's condition was normal, they would naturally have nothing to say, but his current state made them think of pulling Lorraine who had been transferred from the capital.

Lorraine looked at the crowd, put on a smirk, and said, "I think I might let you down."

"..."

Almost at the same time, everyone was stunned.

"But Second Highness, don't you have any idea about the succession to the throne? You know, if it weren't for the strange state of His Highness, you would have no chance at all."

Regardless of the size of the nobles, once the right of inheritance is involved, even the heirs of the collateral line will try their best to fight for it, let alone the right to inherit the throne now.

A long time ago, Romon had been recognized by the nobles as the heir to the throne, while Lorraine was regarded as an outsider, and was even transferred away from the capital for the stability of the throne.

Now in the eyes of everyone, this time is completely Lorraine's best chance to stand up.

"I have never been interested in the succession to the throne." Lorraine continued, "But I should find a way to restore the capital to normal as soon as possible."

Listening to Lorraine's answer, everyone was amazed. If Lorraine hadn't acted too normal, they would have thought that Lorraine, like Romon, had a mental problem.

Lorraine himself is not from this world, and even the identity of the Second Highness was forcibly inserted into it. It is strange to think about it now that he is told to let him inherit the throne.

As for the latter, whether the capital is stable will also affect the Gretel family and Xueni to a certain extent, so this is why Lorraine has been actively looking for ways to deal with the current situation in the capital after returning.

Chapter No.16

Why did you come back?

Lorraine and the nobles continued to chat for a while. The nobles' rhetoric was nothing more than explaining to Lorraine the benefits of inheriting the throne, but Lorraine remained uninterested from beginning to end.

Even they were surprised. Romon, the two sons of Baneka, seems to be in a good mood now, while Lorraine has no interest in the throne at all, which is too strange.

Although Lorraine kept saying that the king's capital would return to normal, they always felt that the king was about to die.

Seeing that the nobles were still discussing how to deal with it in the future, Lorraine just found a reason to prevaricate, and left this meaningless exchange for him.

As soon as he walked to the corner, Lorraine saw Xue Ni leaning against the wall. It seemed that he had been eavesdropping on his conversation with the nobles here since just now, but now he was in a daze.

"Do you still want to listen here?" Lorraine said.

Hearing Lorraine's voice, Xueni suddenly came back to his senses, thinking about things, but didn't notice that Lorraine had walked over.

Xueni didn't answer Lorraine, just shook her head.

"Then let's go." Lorraine took Xueni's hand, and the other free hand made a gesture to silence her voice, "But maybe you have to keep your voice down."

Lorraine didn't think that this group of nobles would leave so easily. Seeing how they were discussing so intensely, they probably missed seeing Baneka. Unfortunately, Baneka's current situation makes it difficult to even open his eyes, let alone listen to them. Opinion up.

After asking the maid where the back door of the mansion was, Lorraine took Xuenie and left the mansion through the back door.

If it was Xue Ni's idea to come out just now, then it is Lorraine who wants to come out now. After all, the atmosphere among the nobles is not suitable for him, and what they are talking about is not what he cares about.

Finding that Xue Ni has been silent since she came out, Lorraine was concerned. Before she went to meet those nobles, she was looking forward to coming out.

"What's wrong?" Lorraine asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Xueni shook her head and looked up at Lorraine, "Are what you said really your thoughts?"

"Thoughts? Are you talking about restoring the capital to normal, that's it."

"wrong."

Xueni's hand held by Lorraine held his palm.

I don't know if it was Lorraine's misunderstanding, but Xueni's shoulder injury also affected the movement of the other hand, but on the contrary, the strength of the remaining hand seemed to have increased recently.

"I said that I don't want to be the heir to the throne, is it really your idea?"

"Huh?" Lorraine didn't expect Xueni to talk to her about this. It seemed that she had just heard what she said.

Before Lorraine could speak, Xue Ni stared at Lorraine and continued, "If that's not your idea, I can help you, no... I said, I can do anything for you. "

This scene reminded Lorraine of the scene where Xue Ni expressed her feelings to herself for the first time, and there was an aura of no matter what happened afterwards.

When she first came into contact with Lorraine, Xueni once laughed at Lorraine for being just a second prince who didn't even have the right to inherit the throne. However, the indifferent look that Lorraine showed made her completely confused. Even Xue Ni doesn't understand it now.

At that time, all her focus was on how to defeat Lil and let others see her efforts.

I also know very well the feeling of disparity that comes with trying your best but not being able to reach what others can easily get.

In Xueni's view, Lorraine was a bit similar to his own situation at that time, and there was a big obstacle between him and the succession to the throne.

As the Second Highness, he is not qualified to be the successor, and even has to leave the royal capital.

So when she heard the conversations among the nobles, Xue Ni's first thought was that if Lorraine wanted to become the heir to the throne, she would help him.

When getting along with Lorraine, Xueni knew that she belonged to the more selfish side, and Lorraine was thinking about herself.But if Lorraine had a request, he would agree to him desperately.

The recipient also wants to do something for the giver in response.

Lorraine froze for a while, then laughed.

Seeing Lorraine's appearance, Xue Ni not only did not feel relieved, but became a little anxious.

"I'm really not joking." In Xueni's mind, even if the entire Gretel family did not support Lorraine, she would stand by him.

"I'm not joking either."

"But that is..."

Lorraine reached out and pinched Xueni's cheek, interrupting what she was about to say, but because of Xueni's pale face, Lorraine didn't dare to use too much force.

"It's said that things like the right to inherit the throne can do whatever they want." Lorraine said, "No, you also think that I really came back to the capital this time for that kind of thing, right?"

Thinking about it, Xue Ni only heard that Naba said that he hoped Lorraine would come back. In the days after she disappeared, Naba only added the following words to the letter.

"It was your father who said in the letter that you disappeared for a few days inexplicably, and I came back to see what happened."

Speaking of this, Lorraine was a little angry. If it wasn't for Naba's sudden mention of Xueni's disappearance, otherwise the letters written by the nobles with such a large force would not be ready to return to the capital.

At the same time, I was so worried that I was dying in those few days, and I was always in a state of exhaustion.

But who would have thought?Xueni has been waiting for him on the road for a long time.

But if he hadn't come back, Xueni would have been waiting for him there, so Lorraine was glad that he had come back.

"So you're saying that you came back because of me?" Xue Ni stared at Lorraine with wide eyes.

"Otherwise what do you think?"

But now that it was confirmed that Xueni was safe, Lorraine felt a little unable to escape due to the situation in the royal capital.

Leaving aside the matters of the Gretel family itself, Ole probably also knew that he had a relationship with the Gretel family.

Thinking of this, Lorraine felt a headache.

But at this moment, Xue Ni hugged him up hard, and buried his whole face on Lorraine's chest.

Lorraine didn't have time to react and was almost knocked down by Xueni. She took a step back before steadying herself.

Xueni's face was pressed against Lorraine's body, so Lorraine couldn't see the expression on her face, but she could feel the heavier gasping and whimpering.

"But next time you really have to stop moving or you will disappear."

Inexplicably, he took a fast-moving carriage, and then encountered an attack against him. If it wasn't for Xueni and Zeth's help, he would really have to end his story line early.

"Well." Xueni still hugged Lorraine, "As long as you are here, I won't go anywhere."

Chapter No.17

That means you stay by my side

"Is there any place you want to go?"

Leaving Gretel's house, Lorraine walked down the street holding Xueni's hand.

Although Xueni's hand has not let go since leaving the mansion, Xueni's whole body seemed to be pressed against Lorraine's arm along the way.

Whenever a pedestrian walked by, Xue Ni would lean closer to Lorraine, as if she didn't want to leave a gap between them.

Even if no one looked at her, Xue Ni would use Lorraine's arm to slightly cover her face.

Lorraine felt that Xue Ni didn't look at the road at all along the way, and she just followed her own pace. When she took a few steps, she also followed.

But looking at Xue Ni's extremely red ears, Lorraine didn't know what to laugh or what.

If the two of them are alone, Xue Ni can always do bold things that even Lorraine can't think of.But in the process of getting along, as long as there are people around, whether they recognize them or not, Xue Ni will become much docile, just like this, as if he is a different person.

"No." While Xue Ni shook her head, one side of her face kept rubbing against Lorraine a few times because she was too close to her.

For Xueni, she just wanted to go out with Lorraine. If she stayed in the house, she could only lie on the bed all day, which was somewhat boring.

But where to go, Xue Ni didn't have any plans.

Thinking about it, Xueni before was usually either at the academy or back home.

Even if they borrowed to live with Lorraine before, it was just changing Gretel's house into Lorraine's mansion, nothing changed, which also caused Xueni to not get along well.

Seeing that there was no way to keep walking aimlessly like this, Lorraine looked around, and finally set his sights not far away.

"Otherwise, go there." Lorraine pointed to the pastry shop.

Xue Ni looked in the direction Lorraine pointed, then nodded.

In Lorraine's impression, Xueni didn't seem to have the habit of afternoon tea, so she basically didn't see her touching pastries or other things.

"Hi, may I ask you two?" Walking into the store, the host came up.

"Yes."

Except for the last time Ole came to talk to him inexplicably, this is also the first time Lorraine came to this kind of store on his own initiative.

Under the guidance of the clerk, Lorraine and Xueni found a seat where they could see the street outside.

Under normal circumstances, Lorraine and Xueni should sit facing each other, but Xueni sat directly next to Lorraine, who somehow thought they were trying to grab Lorraine's seat.

Even the clerk who brought the things up covered his lips and smiled, but for them, it wasn't the first time Lorraine and Xueni had met like this, so they wouldn't be too surprised.

"Aren't you sitting across from me?" Lorraine could feel Xueni constantly squeezing towards him. If his chair wasn't big enough, he would be squeezed down by Xueni.

"No." Seeing that there was no one else around, Xue Ni returned to the way she was when the two of them were alone.

Now Xueni's uninjured shoulder was leaning on Lorraine's body, but even so, Lorraine didn't dare to move, for fear of touching Xueni's bandaged position.

Seeing Xue Ni looking at the pastries on the table, Lorraine asked, "Have you never tried these things before?"

Xueni shook her head, "I think it takes too much time to eat these things."

The previous Xueni, it can be said that almost all of his time was spent on training and improving himself. ,

In addition, apart from Lil, she didn't have much communication with other girls, so she didn't attend a tea party at all, or maybe she didn't even know what a tea party was.This situation seems somewhat strange among noble ladies.

When Lorraine wanted Xueni to try it, she saw Xueni opening her mouth and looking at herself with a smile on her face.

He didn't say anything, but this already let Lorraine know what Xue Ni wanted to express.

"Is it possible that you want me to feed you like this every day?"

That's what he said, but Lorraine still picked up the fork on the table, took a piece and put it in Xueni's mouth.

Even if you eat this kind of thing with one hand, you won't be affected, but based on the previous situation, Xueni seems not to care about this.

That's why Xueni always felt that her injury this time was not a bad thing.

"If possible, I hope it is like this." Feeling the sweet taste spreading in her mouth, Xue Ni pursed her lips, "Although I don't like this kind of thing, but I don't seem to hate it either."

If Lorraine guessed correctly, Xueni should like the current atmosphere, so she gave this evaluation when she tried it for the first time.

After a slight pause, Xue Ni looked at the street, and was a little lost in thought for a while.

Lorraine also looked at the people coming and going on the street, and remembered what Xueni had said to him before that he wanted to sell things with him.

"Are you envious of them?"

"A little bit." Xueni still looked at the street, and continued, "But if I stay by your side like this all the time, I don't think there is anything to envy."

Lorraine said jokingly, "If I were one of those people, would you still feel this way?"

Although Lorraine's identity as Second Highness was inserted into the situation, it was also because of his identity as Second Highness that it was easier for him to get in touch with Xueni from the beginning.
