The Regent Only Wants to Retire

After transmigrating into a book, Randhill became the regent duke destined to die a gruesome death once the crown prince came of age and took power.

To avoid his tragic fate, Randhill secretly decided to retire as soon as possible and return to his faraway territory to enjoy a quiet life.

But when he saw the nine-year-old crown prince, alone and helpless in the maelstrom of power, his heart softened.

After raising the little brat all the way to seventeen, Randhill decided it was time to step aside.

But the crown prince, who should have been eager to take power, did something completely unexpected.

Randhill: Your Highness, you should start approving some of the documents yourself.

Easton: No. My handwriting is ugly.

But the crown prince had been writing beautifully since childhood.

Randhill: Your Highness, command of the army should be returned to you.

Easton: No. I'm weak and frail, and can't lead an army.

But the crown prince had once torn a vicious dragon apart with his bare hands.

Randhill: Your Highness, I should hand over the keys to the treasury.

Easton: I'm really not interested in numbers. It's better if you manage it.

But the crown prince clearly ran the empire's largest trading company.

Only after Randhill was slipped a ring symbolizing the empress did he finally realize what was going on. This had gone completely off the rails!
