After I became a real young master, I became famous for my bad behavior

Haines's signature is "magic" and Impes's signature is "force (military)".

Haynes considered Impes an enemy because he was an "unlearned magic idiot":

They considered Impes to be "cruel killers" - something that went against their beliefs in God.

Impels disdained dealing with Haines because Haines was "a piece of trash who had never been to a battlefield":

They thought Haines was a "nerd who talks about God" - when there is no land under your feet, there is no point in talking about any faith.

"Cough cough..."

The sound of Everett clearing his throat brought Sheen back to his senses.

"Jason made Impresi a mess, causing its strength to decline significantly. That's why your father didn't take them seriously before...

"But after James came to power, Duke Haines already smelled danger..."

Sheen heard this information from Everett again -

After James inherited the title, he started the governance model of "wise duke":

Reduce the retirement age for knights and mercenaries, and double their pensions.

Pay attention to farmland cultivation and stop just using vacant land for trade like Jason did.

"A place like the north, which has an advantage in raw materials... plus the flat land, planting it seems to be more conducive to the economic development of the north."

James said this while smiling and sipping a glass of whiskey.

He handled official business personally:

The number of wrongful convictions in the Imperth Territory has decreased significantly.

In his jurisdiction, he promulgated "monogamy", with the nobles taking the lead.

There is no way, this is the shadow of his childhood...

Even the management of underground sex sites has been strengthened...

People who hate James say he is "selfish", while people who support James say he is "wise".

(An aside)

Sheen scratched his head: Have these two families gone to extremes?

But he suddenly cried out:

"handsome!"

Sheen (reader Jiaming) just likes James's clean and neat attitude - this is the attitude a duke should have!

He thought happily in his heart:

"If Arthur had been as tough as James, I would have saved myself decades of trouble!"

"Ah?"

Everett was surprised by Sheen's comment that the Duke of Imperth was "handsome!"

But he didn't stop Sheen's thoughts.

Everett shuddered.

But...

Of course, as the crown prince, he tried to think about why Sheen thought James' behavior was "cool" -

Everett suddenly understood...

"Compared to Duke Haines's series of 'out-of-the-ordinary' actions, Duke Impes is the one who truly lives up to the principle that 'my word is the law within the territory'."

A sudden enlightenment.

Avery suddenly became active:

"(If Xien can do this, his position as heir will be secure!)"

In other words, Sheen wants to "learn from others"...

Everett couldn't help but continue:

"Of course there are still many rumors. It is said that he became so powerful with the help of the power of the devil... In short, we can no longer find out why James suddenly came back to take away the title..."

"And Jason has so many children, they should be killed..."

"But why did you announce that you adopted Eric as your son?"

This was what Avery found difficult to understand.

"Hmm..."

Sheen roughly thought of the idea (drawing a mind map in his mind)——

Eric is Jason's child and James is Jason's older brother:

Eric is James' nephew.

James killed Jason, Eric's dad is dead:

James is the murderer of Eric's father...

Of course what if Eric hated his father's incompetence?

But James adopted Eric as his son...

Sheen thought about the character setting of "The Mediation Game" again:

James had only one wife and they had one son, Scott.

Scott is James' only child, and he is definitely the oracle son of Imperius.

In other words, Scott is the current heir to the family...

Wait a moment? ?

Xien inexplicably felt that this routine was somewhat familiar:

"Isn't the relationship between Scott and Eric the same as the relationship between Sheen and Siren?"

Then in The Game of Mediation it is said,

"Scott is one year younger than Sheen." Eric and Sheen entered Pereira College in the same year.

Eric is one year older than Scott and is technically Scott's cousin.

With the added layer of adoption relationship, Eric became Scott's nominal brother and the eldest son of Impes.

(Brain paralysis...)

Sheen still feels that this kind of relationship between characters is extremely similar to "the relationship between Sheen and Xi Lun".

He leaned back (dizzy):

"Why did the story turn out like this..."

But in the end, Sheen straightened out the relationship. He explained to Everett:

(Everett mentioned earlier that Eric is Jason's illegitimate son)

"Everett, you just said why James adopted Eric - did you just say Eric is Jason's illegitimate son?"

Eric took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and turned his gaze to Sheen:

"Yes what's the matter?"

"In this empire, illegitimate children are indeed discriminated against."

Xien put his hands on the table and said confidently:

"I have reason to suspect that Eric also suffered from his father's cold eyes and had at least a childhood experience similar to that of young James.

“No matter how cruel a person is, he will feel compassion when he sees others in a similar situation to himself.”

Everett's eyes widened slightly, and he murmured:

"If you say that..."

"Ah, I remembered!"

Everett slapped his forehead.

(This scene scared Sheen half to death)

"I once investigated Eric. He was born to a maid. After being taken home, he was often abused by Jason and his wife."

The Crown Prince said calmly:

"Eric is really a ruthless person. I heard that when he was 7 years old, he taught himself how to mix poison by reading books, and stabbed Jason's wife in the heart with a pair of scissors dipped in poison."

what?

7 years old, Eric is 7 years old...

Other people's children can arm themselves at the age of 7...

"And Jason's death was very strange - anyone who could become the Duke of Imperth must have some ability, but James killed him easily..."

Everett closed his eyes and held his head.

"Now that we've come to this, I suspect Eric was also responsible for Jason's death..."

Because Eric has a strong talent for medicine, he can make both herbal medicines and intoxicating drugs.

Through Everett's description, Sheen had a vague idea:

"Only those Impes who can create their own benefits will be retained."

Sheen bit his lip.

He had a sense of crisis:

For a man who learned to rebel at a young age and murdered his own father, his enthusiasm is definitely a deceptive disguise.

"Eric must have a purpose behind his enthusiasm for Sheen!"

But, Sheen thought about it -

This is a good opportunity to understand the management order of the Impes family.
