The rescued villainous lady wants to go home with me

"Oh." Lorraine agreed.

After sitting down, Lorraine looked around and found that there was only himself and Baneker in this huge courtyard.

This made Lorraine feel strange. At other times, there should be some guards nearby. Otherwise, Baneka's personal servant Torre should also stand nearby.

But not now.

If anyone wants to be unfavorable to Baneka now, it is estimated that it will be easy to succeed.

Before he could speak again, Baneka coughed a few times.

"Cough cough cough."

Lorraine wanted to get up to check on Baneka's situation, but Baneka stopped him with his hand.

Lorraine sat down again and asked, "Are you all right?"

After the incident last time, Baneka's health has not been very good.

Although not as weak as before, it seems that some irreversible damage has been caused.

"It's okay." Baneka said with a wry smile, "It's just like this when you're old."

Lorraine didn't speak, but vaguely felt that Baneka didn't come to talk to him about any business today.

After a little relief, Baneka stared at Lorraine, although a little serious, but not as before.

"I called you here today because I want to talk to you about the succession of the throne."

"The throne?" Lorraine was stunned for a moment, and said, "Isn't it already confirmed?"

Even with what happened last time, Romon's successor status remains unchanged.

"It is indeed." Baneka continued, "Recently, I feel that my body is getting worse and worse. I should retire from this position after a while."

Thinking about it, even without that incident, Baneka would have reached this age.

If I remember correctly, Baneka's parents handed over the throne to him at about this age.

It's just that Lorraine still doesn't understand. Shouldn't it be more appropriate to tell Romon about this kind of thing?

"Before that, I want to confirm with you again." Banai Ka paused, and his tone began to sink, "Actually, since then, you are my more recognized successor, so I want to know, are you really Are you not interested in the throne?"

On the surface, Romon is still the heir to the throne.

But the farce last time had a lot to do with Romon himself.

Even though it was resolved with the help of Lorraine, many nobles had some opinions on Romon, but Lorraine was recognized by the nobles.

Now if Lorraine is allowed to inherit the throne, it may have a better impact than the succession of Romon.

Lorraine was a little surprised by Baneka's words, but he still shook his head.

"As I told you last time, I'm really not interested in this."

Now Lorraine knows why there are only two of them here.

This kind of topic is really not suitable for others to be around.

Baneka watched the expression on Lorraine's face, and didn't see any false concealment.

In the end, Baneka could only sigh, "Okay."

It is relatively rare that the prince has no interest in the throne.

But whether it is the two answers before and after, or the situation of Lorraine's work, they all illustrate his idea.

He has a feeling that the throne is a hot potato.

"Even so, if you have any requirements in the future, you can still ask them, and no one will stop you." Baneka said.

"Request..." Lorraine pondered for a moment, and said, "Yes."

Do you have anything you want?It seems nothing.

The identity of the Second Highness has already solved many things for me, and it seems that it can even play a role in places I can't think of.

It's just that as Lorraine, the throne itself has nothing to do with him.

Even if I choose to stay here, there are some things I still won't change.

Seeing that Lorraine didn't have much interest in this topic, Baneka didn't continue talking, but just chatted with him about recent events.

When it got dark, Lorraine stood up to say goodbye and leave.

After Lorraine's figure left his sight, Romon came out from the corner of the corridor not far behind Baneka.

Seeing Romon standing beside him, Baneka said, "Did you hear it all?"

"Yeah." Romon nodded, looked at the direction Lorraine left, and said, "I still think Lorraine is more suitable to inherit the throne than me."

For this conversation, not only Baneka's meaning, but also Romon's.

After what happened last time, both of them agreed that Lorraine was more suitable to inherit the throne.

Romon thought that Lorraine was thinking about himself, that's why he chose that kind of rhetoric before.

This time he chose to hide, but unexpectedly, Lorraine's thoughts remained unchanged.

"But he's not interested in that at all."

In the past, Baneka and Romon were worried that the existence of Lorraine would affect the succession of the throne, but now, they both want Lorraine to inherit the throne.

Not to mention letting others hear it, Baneka himself thought it was ridiculous.

"In the future, if Lorraine has any requirements, you must take care of him as much as possible," Baneka said.

"Well, I understand that." Romon replied.

Chapter 2

visit

As Baneka said, after the conversation with Lorraine, within a few days, the palace released the news that Baneka was about to abdicate, and that Romon would inherit the throne in the near future.

Although the nobles were a little surprised, it seemed to be reasonable.

They thought Banika would re-select the successor to the throne. After all, after returning from the Aino Forest, Lorraine's impression in everyone's mind became even better.

But think about it, the last incident didn't remove Romon's successor, so how could it be possible to change it now.

They can only think that Baneka has his own considerations, and at the same time hope that Romon will not make any more problems.

All of a sudden, the entire capital also became lively.

After all, whether it is for nobles or commoners, this is considered a big event.

At the gate of Lorraine's mansion, Guris asked carefully after getting off the carriage, "Excuse me, is this the mansion of His Highness Lorraine?"

"This is indeed the residence of His Highness the Second Highness, may I ask who you are?"

"I'm Gulis, please tell Your Highness that I'm here to visit him."

The guards looked Guris up and down, and then looked at each other, both of them said they didn't recognize the face in front of them.

"Please wait a moment, I will go and talk to His Highness."

In the mansion, because there was nothing to do when he was free, Lorraine also slept until near noon before waking up.

As soon as Lorraine walked out of the room stroking her messy hair, the maid told the outside about Guris' visit to him.

"Guris?"

Lorraine looked up at the ceiling and thought for a while before remembering the name of the lord he had only been with for a while.

"Let him in, I know him," Lorraine said.

In other words, since the last time, I haven't met him.

While the maids were bringing them over, Lorraine just washed up briefly.

When he returned to the living room again, Guris was already sitting on a chair, and beside him was a small figure in a cute pink dress.

"Your Highness."

Guris just stood up and wanted to salute Lorraine. After seeing Lorraine, the little figure next to him immediately ran towards Lorraine.

"Hey."

Seeing the little guy running over, Lorraine lowered his body and stretched his hands forward, fearing that the little guy would accidentally fall in front of him.

Instead, she ran up to Lorraine, looked at Lorraine's hand, and subconsciously stretched out her petite hand and patted Lorraine's palm, as if giving Lorraine a high-five.

"Mina." Guris called Mina, "You can't be so rude to His Highness."

But Mina acted as if she couldn't hear her, she yelled and patted Lorraine's palm.

"It's okay." Lorraine shook his head, and he didn't expect that this little guy still remembered him after such a period of time.

Lorraine sat on the chair and watched Mina trot around the house, while the maid behind her hurriedly followed her and asked, "Why are you here when you are free?"

Since his return last time, the territory has been under the jurisdiction of Guris again, but Lorraine didn't expect him to come to visit him.

Gulis scratched his head and said, "Because the eldest prince is about to inherit the throne, I think I should come to the royal capital for a visit. I happened to find out the location of your mansion, so I came to visit you."

After the news of Romon's succession to the throne spread, the lords of the various territories sent some things over.

It's just that Guris came here in person like this, but it was relatively rare.

"I haven't been to the capital for many years, so this time I brought Mina here to have a look."

Looking at Mina running around, Gulis smiled bitterly. Although she couldn't express it in proficient words, it could be seen that she was very excited now.

"Then do you have a place to stay? If not, you will live here temporarily."

"No need, Your Highness, that bothers you too much." Gulis took out a small box from his side and said, "This is a specialty of our territory."

"Do you still have my share?" Lorraine took the box, a little surprised.

"You were too anxious to leave at that time, and didn't prepare it for you in advance, so I brought it here by the way this time."

At that time, who would have thought that Lorraine, who had just arrived in the territory, left in a hurry after only staying for so long.

"You're a bit too polite." Lorraine smiled. This was the first time someone came to deliver something to her in person.

Seeing that he had greeted Lorraine and that the things in his hands had been delivered, Guris said, "Then, Your Highness, I will not bother you."

Although it has been such a long time since he came to the capital, Guris didn't intend to stay for too long, and after visiting Lorraine, there are still some friends in the capital who need to move around.

Gulis wanted to call Mina back, but found that she called out, somewhat resisting, and then ran to a certain corner, and disappeared all of a sudden. Fortunately, the maids behind followed.

"This..." Guris showed an embarrassed expression.

"It seems like she likes it here." Lorraine said with a smile, "If you don't mind it, just let her play here for a while, and then come and pick her up after you're done."

"Trouble? How could it be!" Guris waved his hand quickly, "It's too much trouble for you."

If Mina can stay here, she will be more at ease.

"No. I've been relatively free recently."

After returning from Aino Forest, and because he didn't have to go to the academy, Lorraine basically stayed in the mansion.

Moreover, Romon officially took over various affairs of the capital, and those matters no longer need Lorraine's help.

This made Lorraine breathe a sigh of relief.

He knows very well that without the existence of the book envoy, he is completely an ordinary person now, and even some common sense things may have problems.

If you really let yourself come, maybe something will happen.

Seeing what Lorraine said, Gulis couldn't refuse, "You have said it like this, then Mina will ask you first."

"Yeah." Lorraine said.

Before leaving, Gulis did not forget to shout into the room, "Mina, don't trouble Your Highness, I will pick you up later."

But Mina still didn't come out, and could only hear a voice of "ah", which was regarded as a response.

After sending Guris out, Lorraine also looked around the corner, and found that Mina was still following the maid, running around the house, occasionally running into a room, and then immediately scared to come out.

Lorraine smiled, and didn't really care. He had seen the lord's mansion before, and it was very different from this place. This is probably why she was so interested.
