Sheen thought -

Could it be the Duke Jason Impess from The Good Game?

Sheen was horrified when he thought about it: You know, the Duke of Impes's private life as described in the novel was very chaotic, and almost all of his children were illegitimate...

Stop.

In other words, the story now develops into——

"The real 'first child' of Imperius killed Jason and became the current Duke of Imperius."

And Eric is Jason's illegitimate son...

etc--

Sean was sweating, and he wanted to confirm a fact:

"Everey?"

"Ok?"

"Is the current Duke of Impes called James Impes?"

Sheen asked tentatively.

Because, in "The Good Man", James is Scott's father!

"Yeah, how did you know? I was just trying to tell you."

Everett was surprised.

He believes that "the Duke of Impasse has not appeared in social circles so far, and people don't even know his name."

Sheen thought, "That's it, I have to come up with another excuse":

"When I was wandering in the past, I took a boat to the north, and the boatman there seemed to have mentioned this name."

Xien rolled his eyes inwardly——

After saying this, I feel ridiculous...

But Everett believed it:

"James's reputation is known to many people. Yes, he is the real 'first child'..."

The Crown Prince couldn't help but talk a lot to Sheen, all of which were news about the Impers family that he had learned by using his status as the Crown Prince.

After Everett's long speech, Sheen finally understood a little about the current development of the story:

The old Duke of Impers is not as good at controlling his private life as the old Duke of Haines.

He had a wife and three concubines.

In addition, there are countless mistresses.

That is why he had many children, but only one was born to his wife.

Moreover, the old Duchess of Impasse was frail and died very early.

The illegitimate children took advantage of the fact that their mother was favored by the Duke and bullied the "first child" who lost his mother at a young age.

That is James Impes.

The old Duke of Impasse never thought that James, born to his wife, could bring him anything, so he always doted on his concubines and those illegitimate children who were not even presentable.

The old Duke snubbed James...

To the end,

The old Duke of Impes broke the oracle and made Jason, the child of his favorite concubine, the heir to the family.

People were very dissatisfied with the old duke's behavior: because he violated the Impes oracle.

But those who resisted died under the old duke's sword.

Blood flowed like a river, screams were heard everywhere...

James saw this tragic situation, he couldn't let innocent people sacrifice themselves for him——

He is very clear,

If his father couldn't shut up the nobles, he would put the sword passed down from generation to generation in Impes against his neck!

James wanted to live.

In order to survive, he signed a statement to the old duke to give up his title, and left the Impes family at the age of 16.

Under the brainwashing of his favorite concubine, the old duke passed the title to Jason.

After Jason inherited the title, he and the old duke were exactly alike—

One wife, three concubines...

People became even more dissatisfied.

Since Jason was not the Oracle's "first child", there would never be a son of the Oracle of Impes among his offspring.

So people are gradually becoming disappointed with the current Impes family.

Just then, things took a turn for the better...

Hiss!

The torn book of renunciation of the title was thrown into the blazing fire by a pair of armored hands.

The man standing in front of the fire straightened his armor, pulled out the sharp blade stuck beside him, and walked into the Duke of Impes's Palace.

Click!

The knife fell from the hand, and the head fell to the ground.

"Gudong (swallow saliva)..."

Everett swallowed, clasped his hands together on the table, and whispered:

"Eight years ago, James Impess returned to Impess with the Knights that were fired by Jason.

With a single blow, he regained his status as Duke of Imperius."

Sheen's face was full of "!".

(Narration continues)

"what!"

"Master of the family, master of the family..."

"Ahhh!"

Those who followed Jason fled.

They all said James was a horrible demon:

James not only killed Jason, but also killed all of Jason's harem, and Jason's children also died one by one in his hands.

"Killing is the most effective way to prevent collateral relatives from fighting over family property."

Ta-ta-ta...

Snap——

James climbed to the top floor of the Duke's Mansion and personally pulled out the sword inherited from Impes that only the Oracle could pull up.

His revenge goes far beyond killing Jason...

A few days later, James personally killed the old Duke of Impess, who was on vacation in the territory, and his concubines.

"James is willing to bear the charge of patricide and seizing power in order to become the successor to the title."

Click, click, click, click, click!

All the collateral relatives were basically killed by James who was wearing armor.

"Wow ah ah-"

For collateral relatives, that night was extremely terrifying:

James, with his face stained with the blood of his relatives, slashed with the knife in the flames without even changing his expression.

James was like a powerful monster, ruthlessly taking the lives of betrayers.

After the last member of the Impes bloodline died...

Cheers resounded through the sky.

The "rebellion" was successful.

"History is written by those who succeed."

Overnight, only James was left in the Impasse family, and he naturally became the current Duke of Impasse.

He took the sword inherited from Impes and sat on the throne, and began his governance plan.

People were surprised to find that James, who had been away from home for 15 years to hone his skills, had become a war hero and was no longer the James who was insulted by others.

That's how the rumors came about.

The fighting power of the Duke of Impes was so terrifying that people in the southern part of the empire thought of the word "devil" when they mentioned "Duke of Impes".

The nobles in the southern part of the empire all referred to James as "The Devil Duke" or "The Monster Duke" - because in their eyes, James was almost a monster...

(This is also the reason why people from the southern part of the empire rarely go to the north)

But James's supporters defended him:

"This is the true son of the Oracle picking up the blade of Imperius again after many years."

"We should support him and make him the real Duke of Imperius."

The nobles who supported James finally came out of the woodwork and began to make excuses for James's actions like mushrooms after a rain.

More and more people are willing to follow the new Imperius ruling group.

"James' power is so strong that he can make more than half of the empire's territory independent as a principality with just one order."

After hearing these words, Sheen lowered his head and thought about the situation of the "Mediation Game":

Although Haines and Impes are the two duke families that received the oracle,

"But their beliefs and political positions are almost as different as heaven and earth."
