As soon as Lorraine arrived at the house, someone hurried over outside the door.

"Your Highness, the knights said they wanted to find you."

"Knights?"

For this name, Lorraine has heard it more than once, so it is not unfamiliar, but it seems that he has not seen it.

"I see." Lorraine felt that these people came to him suddenly, so it was naturally impossible for him to join them.

They should be for other reasons, and Lorraine just knows it.

Walking out of the house again through the main entrance, Lorraine found several figures in armor standing in the middle of the yard.

Under the sun, the luster of the armor reveals its dazzling and thick, giving people a sense of solemnity, and the person wearing it also has an invisible majesty.

"Second Highness." A young figure came up, and out of etiquette, he saluted Lorraine, and his armor made a sound with his movements, "My name is Gomos Barimon, sorry I didn't I have been invited to bother you."

Gomos is the real knight that Lorraine saw, and at the same time, he also satisfied his imagination of knights in the past.

Many of them were born nobles, and with the status of the Knights, even if they were not invited, they could still enter the mansions of the nobles as long as they had legitimate reasons.

Lorraine held up a smile and said, "I don't know what's the matter with your sudden visit?"

Gemos regained his posture and stood up straight, his eyes were brighter under the sunlight.

"Second Highness, I don't think I need to turn corners with you." Gomos continued, "Liraya Gretel died in prison for no reason, and you are the only person who has visited him during this period."

"So you mean..." Lorraine narrowed his eyes and looked at Gemos in front of him.

I thought that someone would doubt me, so Lorraine felt that he had to do it himself, at least he could block some situations by relying on his identity as the Second Highness.

But it seems that I have underestimated the ability and attitude of this knight order.

"Although it's a bit impolite, I think you are the biggest suspect in killing Liraya." Gomos took out the bag he got from Liraya, which was the medicine bag that Lorraine gave to Liraya.

"Then what are you going to do?" Even Lorraine wondered if he would be ridiculous if he still said something of denial, so he chose to face Golmos directly, "Take me away?"

Gemos looked a little regretful, "I'm afraid it's like this, at least we need to know why you did this."

"Then if I say, after a while, I'll go with you again, and then I will give everyone a satisfactory answer, is that okay?"

"After a while?"

Gomos was polite from the beginning to the end, and even when he felt that Lorraine did not deny his doubts, he maintained his proper attitude.

But after hearing Lorraine's words, his face sank a little.Even if Lorraine itself is a royal family, this is not much different from provocation.

Chapter 24

Confrontation

Lorraine and Gomos faced each other, and there was a brief silence between each other, which brought the surrounding atmosphere to its lowest point.

The people who came with Gomos all swallowed subconsciously, with cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.

One side is Gomos, who has a certain reputation in the knight order, and the other side is the Second Highness, no matter which one it is, they are all their faults, and even for them, watching them confront each other is painful. A kind of torment.

"Second Highness, do you really want to do this? This may have a bad impact on your evaluation in the capital." Gomos said.

The satisfactory answer Lorraine said is like a blank check, no one knows whether it can be cashed, or he just wants to delay time.

"I don't care about those so-called comments." Lorraine kept smiling.

From the beginning, the so-called Second Highness, because he did not have the right to inherit the throne, was not favored by others.

Although Lorraine's performance began to change a little later, coupled with the thoughts of the nobles, it can be said that Lorraine has attracted more and more attention from many people.

But does it matter to him?I can't wait for those nobles to pull me along if they have nothing else, so that I won't encounter those things.

Just when the scene was about to froze, Fimo, who was behind Gemos, stepped forward and drew the long sword at his waist, with a displeased expression on his face.

"Lorraine, if you really kill someone, even if you are the Second Highness, you will be punished accordingly, no matter what your reasons are."

It was obvious that Fei Mo didn't have such a good attitude towards Lorraine. She couldn't figure out why Gemos spoke to him so politely, but Lorraine acted like a rascal.

This was the first time she encountered such a thing during her time with Gomos.

It's like not taking Gommose seriously, and that's something she won't allow.

Lorraine turned his gaze to the girl in front of him. The look on her face and the sword in her hand were telling Lorraine that she was not as easy to talk to as Gomos.

Seeing Fimo's appearance, Gomos wanted to step forward and grab her.

But at this moment, a figure rushed over quickly, and immediately stood in front of Lorraine, the sword in his hand had already been drawn out, like a beast lying on the ground, showing its fangs and claws generally.

"I see who of you dares to take him away!"

After seeing the figure in front of him clearly, not only Lorraine but also Golmos were stunned for a moment.

"Xueni? Why do you..." Although Xueni had his back turned to him, Lorraine recognized it at a glance.

Lorraine was surprised why Xue Ni suddenly appeared here.

What is strange to Gemos is that Liraya is Xueni's elder brother, but she is now protecting Lorraine, who is extremely suspicious, which does not conform to his cognition.

"Xueni Gretel." Feimo stared at Xueni, his tone became more and more low, ready to attack at any time.

Lorraine, who was originally blocked by Xueni, stepped forward, blocked Xueni sideways, and stretched out a hand to hold Xueni's hand holding the sword.

Because the shoulder injury has not fully recovered, and her body is not in the best condition, Lorraine can clearly feel that her hand holding the hilt of the sword is trembling slightly.

It is a state of strong support.

Lorraine sighed, and then said to Xueni, "It's okay, I'll just come."

If this guy, Fei Mo, fights up, it doesn't mean that he can't beat him at all.

Feeling Lorraine's touch, Xue Ni also calmed down a little, but the hostility on his face still did not dissipate, and he stared fiercely at Fei Mo.

Gomos also stepped forward to pull Fimo back, and said in a reprimanded tone, "If you continue to mess around like this, I won't take you with me next time."

Hearing what Gemos said, Fimo bit his lip, glanced at Xueni and Lorraine again, snorted coldly, and then stepped back again.

This kind of scene made Lorraine and Gemos feel like they had just brought back two children who were about to fight.

Gemos looked at Lorraine again, but more eyes were on Xueni.

He still couldn't figure out why Xueni wanted to help Lorraine. Logically speaking, as she knew that something had happened to Laria, she couldn't stand by Lorraine even if she didn't know what was going on.

Maybe there really is another reason.This was the only possibility that Golmos could think of.

"Second Highness, when is the later period you mentioned?" Gomos said.

"Two days." This is a relatively conservative time for Lorraine.

"One day. At noon tomorrow, I want to know the answer you said."

After finishing speaking, Golmos didn't intend to give Lorraine a chance to speak at all, and turned around and left on his own. The people behind him watched Gomos leave, and followed him one by one.

Only Feimo stamped his feet on the spot, then glanced at Xueni, as if to say, I won't let you go, and then turned around and left.

Seeing Gomos and the others leave, Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, the matter was temporarily resolved.

And Xue Ni looked Lorraine up and down, and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Lorraine reached out to support Xueni, looked at her pale cheeks that were sweating, and said, "What about you?"

"I?"

After being told by Lorraine, Xueni, who was no longer as concentrated as before, felt that her feet began to drift. Fortunately, Lorraine supported her, so she didn't fall down.

"Hey, I'm fine." Xue Ni smiled, but this smile was more like trying to cover up the tiredness on her face.

Seeing that there were no carriages or anything like that outside, Lorraine could roughly imagine how Xueni got here.

He helped Xueni into the room, and as soon as he sat down, Xueni leaned directly on Lorraine's body.

Lorraine took the towel from the maid, helped Xueni wipe the sweat off her forehead, and asked while wiping, "Why did you come here?"

"After hearing the news, I felt that something might happen to you here, so I came here." Feeling Lorraine's wiping, Xue Ni's tone was also a little weak. It was quite exhausting to run here from Gretel's house Yes, not to mention that her current body has not fully recovered.

Lorraine paused, "What did your father say."

"Father, he didn't say anything."

When Naba heard the news about Laria, he was also shocked at first, but then he thought of something, and returned to his original appearance, but his face was still a little bad, but he didn't say anything more.

Lorraine felt that what he said to him worked.

But what surprised Lorraine was that he didn't say anything to Xue Ni, but she came here, which was indeed a bit unexpected to him.

Chapter 25

I didn't believe wrong

Seeing Lorraine's thoughtful look, Xue Ni stretched out his hand to hold Lorraine's hand, and the temperature between the two began to pass each other.

"No matter what, I believe in you."

Lorraine looked at Xueni, and didn't know what to say for a moment. Naba's appearance was in her expectation, but Xueni was completely out of her own ideas.

In other words, if something really happened to Liraya, then Xueni would still rush over like this.

Although the relationship between Lilaya and Xueni was not very good, Lorraine didn't know how to face Xueni when she thought about what happened to Lilaya.

This is why Lorraine checked with him several times even after Zeth said that there would be no accidents with the amount of medicine.

"There should be nothing wrong with Liraya," Lorraine said.

Xue Ni froze for a moment, but then heaved a sigh of relief. Lorraine, who was being leaned on, could clearly feel that her whole body relaxed slightly.

However, about this news, it doesn't seem to make much difference to Xueni whether she knows it or not, because it will not affect Xue's decision.

It seems that I did not believe wrong.

On the contrary, in Xueni's view, Lorraine told herself because she didn't want to burden herself too much.

"No wonder father is like that."

Xueni remembered that after Naba knew the news about Liraya, he obviously looked restless, but for some reason, he restrained himself.

"So can I think that I'm the only one who doesn't know about this?" Xue Ni forced to pretend to be angry, and changed from holding Lorraine's hand to pinching his wrist, trying to vent her emotions.

"It shouldn't be." Lorraine was also a little embarrassed.

Regarding this matter, I didn't tell many people. Even Naba only knew that Liraya had no accident, and didn't know anything else.

Xue Ni was a little unhappy, but seeing that nothing happened in Lorraine, she didn't pursue it too much.

"No matter what, I hope you can tell me before you do things in the future."

That's what she said, but what Xueni wanted to say more was not only the things to do, but also everything about Lorraine that she wanted to know.

In fact, it's not that Lorraine doesn't want to tell Xueni, but that Xueni is still in a state of recovery no matter at that time or now. Telling her too much may increase her thinking, which is not conducive to her recovery.

But from the looks of it, it seemed like it would have been better to tell her then.

Lorraine was about to say something to Xueni, but heard a slight gasp. Looking down, Xueni had already fallen asleep leaning on his body.

This guy doesn't care about his body at all.

Lorraine didn't know how to express his current emotions, angry?Still worried?

Because of her body, coupled with the fact that she had been in a state of high concentration just now, and now she was completely relaxed again, Xue Ni's suppressed exhaustion suddenly surged up, which made her appear to fall asleep.

"Your Highness..."

The maids were just about to come over to change Lorraine's towels, but when they saw Xueni falling asleep, their voices became quieter.

"Your Highness, would you like me to get you a blanket?"

"Well. Sorry to trouble you."

Lorraine looked at Xueni, carefully supported her body, and slowly put it on her lap.

If the time is too long, it is inevitable that the body will feel uncomfortable after waking up.

The maid came over with a blanket, carefully covered Xueni's body, and then retreated.

Lorraine reached out and brushed Xue Ni's hair, because of the sweat just now, the hair on the entire forehead was a little wet.
