Virion never wanted to be the Lord at all. It was just that neither he nor his brother revealed this fact, because then it'd be even more chaotic.
Perhaps more men like their uncle, or his supporters, could appear again, bidding for the lordship that they did not deserve.
It was annoying to still have bugs flying around and speaking for him, but at the same time, it was also why he knew he could not casually reveal his own wishes.
With such a good heir like Virion, and with very few blood relatives with the Lord, if he announced that Virion didn't want to have anything to do with the position, it was tantamount to destabilising the City's future.
Virion was literally there just to make sure that there's someone handling the reins if something happens to his brother, or if he got sick again.
After what had happened the last time, Virion, as free-spirited as he was, did not dare leave casually again.
