What's more, it would take at least a month to come back after leaving the North this time.
Lorne had already expected that the Baker family would come looking for him.
It's just that he guessed the beginning, but he didn't expect that the person negotiating with him would be Selina Baker.
Although the wife of the Grand Duke of the North is only a few years older than Sophia, she is already a complete middle-aged woman without the nourishment of the Holy Light.
Even a good-looking beast won't be too interested in a woman who starts to get rich and loses her figure.
However, from the face shape of the other party, Lorne could still imagine the beauty of the Grand Duchess when she was young.
To put it bluntly, how could it be possible to capture the young Grand Duke of the North without extraordinary ease.
But if she lacked sufficient means, the woman in front of her would not be able to sit in her current position.
Therefore, the conversation with the Grand Duchess was definitely not pleasant for Lorne.
Even given a choice, Lorne would rather be tortured by her daughter Anna Hubbs than sit across from Selina Baker.
"Lornfast" In a room lit with candles, the woman opens with Lorne's name.
It was just the confused tone that made Lorn confused as to what the other party was trying to do.
This was not the first time he and this woman had met.
Even if his memory was bad, it seemed that he shouldn't talk to him as if he were meeting him for the first time.
Moreover, the room full of candles and the expressionless maid behind her also made Lorne, who wanted to introduce himself with a smile, answer the Grand Duchess in the shortest words: "Yes, ma'am, I am Lorne Fast."
"The appearance and voice are indeed that of that boy, but why do you give me a strange feeling every time I see you?
And in a year, I have only seen you three times, but you have gone from being a shy person to someone with low self-esteem.
The shy boy grew up to be the conqueror of the grassland today."
The Grand Duchess said she had met Lorne three times, but Lorne had only seen her twice.
Then the guy who met this woman for the first time could only be Fast, because Lorne never thought of himself as a shy and poor person with low self-esteem.
However, in the heart of the woman in front of her, being an illegitimate child is obviously a status that should lead to low self-esteem to the point of committing suicide.
Lorne, who had already been reminded by Steve, couldn't help but carefully satisfy the woman, who let the identity of the illegitimate son touch the nerves of the Grand Duchess.
But at the same time, Lorne was also curious about what kind of woman John's mother was.
"Madam, that person with low self-esteem is just the illegitimate Lorne.
And I am Lorne Fast, and my mother is Celine Charles."
If the dead ghost Fast had not died, Lorne had no way of knowing whether he would have accepted his thief as his mother so calmly.
But coming from the earth and having nothing to do with anyone in this world, he unprincipledly identified the woman who killed this body's biological mother as his mother.
His behavior was shameless and despicable, but it was in line with Selina's wishes.
"Yes, you are very smart, so you know who is your mother.
Unlike some people" It was only half said, but Lorne knew exactly who the woman was talking about.
It is estimated that for the sake of her own face, this woman once offered an olive branch to John.
Unfortunately, judging from her current relationship with John, Lorne is sure that the outcome will not be so smooth.
"So, since you are a smart person, you should know what kind of friends you should be close to, and who should be loyal to you."
This sentence is not easy to answer.
If Lorne is a philistine enough, he should move closer to the woman in front of him.
What's scary is that you're afraid that the other party will push you further and make excessive demands.
"Please rest assured, madam, I, Lorne Fast, can swear on my own life that I will protect my master.
No one can harm Miss Anna until I fall.
And as long as it is Miss Anna's order, I can use my life to complete it. " Just now, I thought Anna was annoying, but when the critical moment came, Lorne immediately used the little girl as a shield.
Originally, he was no longer a direct vassal of the Grand Duke of the North.
If it weren't for the fact that Anna was his daughter, Lorne would have even chosen to ignore him.
The Grand Duchess did not expect that Lorne would use Anna to deal with her, but as Anna's vassal, Lorne's behavior was not at all wrong.
The only person he should be loyal to is Anna.
Even if there is internal strife in the Habs family, Lorne should naturally follow Anna without hesitation.
This is the law and the basic rule that every vassal must abide by.

A lord who is separated from the monarch and makes his own decisions has the power to attack the other party.
Even those who take him in will be punished by the laws of the North.
"Very well, you must remember what you said today.
If you abide by your identity and fulfill your duties, then as Anna's mother, I will also give you the rewards you deserve.
But if His Excellency the Baron thinks that I am as easy to deceive as Steve, don't blame me for not knowing how to give young people freedom. " It is very troublesome to talk to such women who like to be superior, because many times, they always like not to speak clearly.
Lie to Steve, where did this start?
Although Lorne wanted to kill Steve afterward, after all, it was something that didn't even happen.
Before that, he and Steve were good brothers who shared a woman.
"Have you misunderstood something, madam?
Mr.
Steve and I are good friends.
Deception, let alone deception, is not a thing.
The territory on the grassland has been repeatedly explored by the Baker family."
Lorne was worried that the woman in front of her regretted letting Steve become the lord, because according to Wendy, her husband and the Grand Duchess did not have much family ties at all.
"It might be fine if I really misunderstood, but since the baron is going to marry Rebecca Stany in the future, shouldn't he keep a little distance from her sister?"
Damn it, how could she know?
Lorne thought he was hiding something, and his affair with Wendy was all in his territory.
But in fact, the last time Wendy accompanied Lester of the Baker family to his territory, the scandal between Lorne and Wendy had already been seen.
Fortunately, the other party only revealed the matter to the woman in front of him.
From the Grand Duchess's words, Lorne could hear a threat.
That meant that this woman didn't actually care whether her nephew was a cuckold, but Lorne didn't know why the powerful Grand Duchess should threaten him.
Even when the other party came to talk to her in person, it was full of disbelief.
Unfortunately, as Wendy said, Steve's ability and status were too inconspicuous in the Baker family.
Except for some things that everyone knows, that guy couldn't prepare Lorne in advance
