Lorraine breathed a long sigh of relief. Unknowingly, sweat began to form on her forehead. People who didn't know thought she was a thief.

Fortunately, Xueni's position played a buffer role. Although it was small, it was lucky that Xueni was not woken up.

Lorraine quietly untied the restraints on her wrists, and then put the things down by her feet.

There is no such thing as whether you are used to wearing this thing, as long as you wear it, you will feel a little discomfort.

"I can't agree to her strange request next time," Lorraine said.

At least before agreeing to such a similar thing, you must first ask Xue Ni what he wants to do.

Looking at Xueni who was still sleeping soundly, Lorraine moved her body so that her head resting on her shoulders moved to her chest.

Then adjusted her posture again, then hugged her whole body, and walked towards the bench in the house.

Just as Xueni was put down, Xueni finally felt something strange and opened her eyes in a daze.

"Oh~ what's wrong? Is it very late?"

"not yet."

"Hey. What's going on? It's so dark."

Lorraine sat over and covered Xueni's eyes with her palms, preventing her from seeing the surrounding situation clearly.

Xue Ni did sleep for a while, but it wasn't too long.

The drowsiness in his mind had not completely dissipated, so Xueni didn't realize why Lorraine stretched out his hand to cover his eyes like this, and how could he be lying down.

"Sleep for a while, and I'll wake you up later."

Xueni paused for a moment, then finally agreed, "Okay then."

After saying that, she closed her eyes again, then took off Lorraine's hand from her eyes and placed it on her cheek so that she could feel Lorraine's temperature.

After Xueni's breathing gradually stabilized, Lorraine dared to move the wrist of the other hand.

In the evening, Lorraine, who also dozed off a little, frowned when he heard a slight noise coming from the house.

Because there were only him and Xue Ni, the doors in the study room were not closed, and the sound from outside could easily be heard.

Before Lorraine got up to check, several figures walked over while looking at it.

Seeing Xueni sitting there, the figure froze for a moment, and then quickly saluted, "Your Highness... and Miss Xueni."

Seeing Xue Ni sleeping next to her, the maids lowered their voices, "We're back."

"It's you." Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had encountered a thief.

But if you think about it, this place is also the residence of the royal family, how could there be a thief here.

Seeing the looks of Lorraine and Xueni, the maids did not dare to stay too long, "Your Highness, we are going down to do something."

After finishing speaking, the maid carefully helped Lorraine close the door of the study to prevent their voices from disturbing the sleeping Xueni.

On the other side, inside the palace.

Because the time for inheriting the throne has been confirmed, Romon has been relatively busy during this period.

It can be said that there is no chance to even get out of here.

In addition to handling affairs normally, the nobles who wanted to make up for the gap caused by what they did before should at least communicate with them to restore their trust in themselves.

Basically work till late every day.

"Your Highness, this is a congratulatory gift from the lords of various territories recently. Would you like to take a look?" Torre walked over.

Romon hesitated, but finally nodded and took the list.

Compared to those things, it might be considered relaxing.

While scanning the list, Romon asked, "Is father feeling better?"

In the past few days, Baneka did not come to check on Romon's handling of the matter in person, so he asked Torre to come to see if there is anything that can help Romon.

Torre is a person who has been with Baneka for a long time, and Romon also respects him.

"Your Majesty is in good health, but has a slight cough occasionally."

"That's it." Romon said.

Baneka's body was getting weaker and weaker day by day, and he knew it.

His eyes fell on an item on the list, and Luo Meng remembered something, "Lorraine shouldn't have made an engagement yet, right?"

"Yes, I haven't heard any news from the Second Highness recently." Tollet continued.

Whether it's Baneka or Romon, they have already tacitly understood the situation of Lorraine and Xueni.

"Do you think this can be given to him as a gift?" Romon pointed to the items on the list.

If it weren't for Lorraine's help some time ago, Romon didn't know what would happen to him now.

And Baneka also reminded Romon to help Lorraine more.

It's just that Lorraine looked very casual, and Romon didn't know what he needed, so he could only think about giving him something.

Tollet looked at it and said, "I'm not too sure about this, maybe I need to let the Second Highness see it for himself."

Chapter 15

nice words

With the maids back, Lorraine felt that Xueni was not needed to do those things anymore, so she simply stopped calling Xueni up.

And he followed her, closing his eyes and squinting for a while.

When the sky was completely dark, the room became extremely dim because of the absence of candles, making it difficult to see in which direction the door was.

Xueni finally opened her eyes again after she had slept enough, and found that there was only darkness in front of her. She subconsciously stood up and sat up.

"Lorraine?" Xue Ni called and groped around, until she found a figure beside her, and then stopped.

Xue Ni took a closer look and confirmed that it was Lorraine before hugging him.

This action also woke up Lorraine.

After looking at the figure hugging him, Lorraine yawned and said, "What's wrong? Are you having nightmares again?"

When Xueni sleeps, sometimes she is not very stable, and Lorraine knows this.

Xueni breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I thought this was a nightmare just now."

The surroundings were still bright when they were sleeping, but now it is dark when they wake up. This always makes some people feel very uncomfortable.

And Lorraine also said before that he would wake himself up, but he never did, which would inevitably make Xue Ni think about something more.

Lorraine looked outside in the direction of the window, only to notice that a little starlight had appeared in the sky.

"It's just late at night, don't think too much."

"Huh? Is it night?"

Xueni remembered something and quickly let go of Lorraine's hand, preparing to make dinner.

Instead, Lorraine stretched out her hand to hold Xueni, and said, "You don't have to go to work, they have already returned."

"They..." Xueni hesitated for a while, and then she knew who it was, and at the same time, she also knew how late it was.

Lorraine groped in the house, followed the memory to the position of the candle, lit the candle, and for a while, the whole study room brightened.

At this time, Xue Ni also discovered that Lorraine's arms were not restrained now, and that thing was placed next to the chair they were sitting on before.

Xueni pressed her chest, and felt that the key on the chest had disappeared, and now only the rope around her neck was left.

It seems that precautions have been taken in advance, Lorraine said, "Don't be angry, you said it yourself, if I get it, I can untie it myself."

"You..." As if being choked, Xue Ni didn't speak for a while.

This is what I said was correct, but what I always thought was that Lorraine reached into the collar and got the key when he touched his body.

But when I was sleeping, I didn't feel this way at all.

So it can be guessed that Lorraine definitely used other methods when he fell asleep.

Careless.

But after thinking about it again, Xue Ni still walked forward with her mouth pursed, and punched Lorraine's chest with a small fist.

Seeing this, Lorraine put her hands in front of her, and caught Xue Ni's clenched hand.

"Are you going back on your word again?"

"That's not it!" Although he was dissatisfied, for Xueni, one thing is another thing, "Didn't you promise me that you would wake me up? Why not?!"

It was like a child was about to be late for school, and when he ran out, he hurriedly complained why he didn't wake himself up.

And that's really Lorraine's problem.

After all, Xueni woke up once before, but Lorraine told her to sleep a little longer.

If she hadn't slept for such a long time, she probably wouldn't be so energetic now.

Facing Xueni who was about to get angry, Lorraine said, "Well... I always think that you are cuter when you sleep quietly than when you are busy, so I didn't think of calling you up all of a sudden. .”

Lorraine herself also felt that these words were meant to appease Xueni, but Xueni was indeed cuter when she was sleeping quietly than when she was tossing back and forth. This was not a lie.

Hearing what Lorraine said like this, Xue Ni squinted her eyes and stared at Lorraine closely. After making sure that he was not trying to perfuse herself, she slowly let go of her shrunken mouth, letting out the air contained in her mouth.

"Really?" Xue Ni reconfirmed, and there was already a smile on her cheeks after being praised.

"Ah."

Feeling that the strength on Xue Ni's fist began to loosen, Lorraine also lowered his arm.

Unexpectedly, Xue Ni suddenly grabbed Lorraine's arm, and under her gaze, opened her mouth and bit down hard.

Lorraine took a breath of cold air, the sudden pain made him subconsciously want to stretch out his other hand to push Xueni away, but his hand stopped halfway in the air, allowing Xueni to bite.

Fortunately, Xue Ni's bite was not strong, it just made Lorraine feel a little pain, and after a while, he quickly let go.

Even so, you can still clearly see a row of teeth marks on the bitten wrist, and at the same time, there is a little moist feeling.

"Why did you bite me?"

"Who told you to say nice things."

Now Xue Ni, although her face is forced to be angry, the corners of her mouth can't help but rise up.

If it wasn't for Lorraine who knew Xueni better, he wouldn't know whether Xueni was angry or happy now.

Although the words were said like this, Xue Ni was still very happy. Even if Lorraine's words were false, she still liked to hear him say so.

It's like to a person you trust very much, even if you do something that doesn't have much effect, you will still run to him and tell him, because you know that the other party will say some words of praise to coax you.

It's just that she was able to take care of Lorraine alone these few days, and Xue Ni wanted to finish it off, but she didn't expect it to be like this, so she was somewhat dissatisfied and wanted to vent.

"Since you like watching me sleep so much, you can't sleep until I fall asleep!"

"Okay." Lorraine agreed.

The premise is that Xueni can sleep peacefully before going to bed.

"That's right." Lorraine paused and said, "I'll go home with you for a few days."

"Go back to my house?"

Hearing what Lorraine said, Xue Ni was a little bit looking forward to it. After all, the number of times the two of them went back to Gretel's house together was quite rare, but they still didn't quite understand why they suddenly mentioned this.

"Don't you think it's strange that you've been staying at my place these past few days and haven't told your family?"

"What's so strange." Xue Ni was puzzled

Not to mention staying here for the past few days, even if I really moved here, there is nothing strange about it.

But whenever I am free, it is really no different from moving here.

It's just that from Lorraine's point of view, Xue Ni has been staying with her all the time, but she hasn't even talked to her family. She always feels a little strange, as if she was kidnapped by him.
