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

"Everey?"

"what?"

"Who are the current members of the Impes family?"

(The 'Personality Tips Box' in front of you can't be wasted)

"Well..."

Everett scratched his head.

“I won’t talk about the previous Impes (too many children), there is no point in saying more.

"The current Imperth composition is the Duke of Imperth and the Duchess of Imperth, who have only one biological child (Scott) and one adopted son (Eric)...

"Oh, I heard that they adopted a new son and daughter. But it was not made public."

Everett clasped his hands together on his left side and muttered:

"The Duke of Impes has done a great job keeping secrets..."

Adopt a child?

That means these two children can bring benefits to the Impes family, otherwise the Duke of Impes would not accept them.

......

night.

After dinner, Sheen returned to the dormitory.

"Wow..."

Sheen made himself a cup of tea and poured it into the cup.

"call..."

Xien blew the water to cool it down, then drank it slowly - after coming to this world, he still likes to drink hot water...

Just then, Sheen heard the sound of a key being inserted into the lock.

pat.

The person who pushed the door tried to keep his voice as low as possible, but Sean just looked at him helplessly.

(A bit socially dead...)

...

"Cough cough..."

Sean sat at the coffee table and greeted Eric perfunctorily:

"Good evening, Eric."

Eric held his school jacket in his hands, only wearing a shirt and vest, and looked a little tired.

Of course he still waved at Sheen and tried his best to smile:

"Good evening, Sheen."

Xien said calmly: "You look a little tired, would you like some tea?"

"No, I went to the Department of Pharmacy to familiarize myself with the environment. It's a bit far from the laboratory building."

Eric took a breath and then walked towards the stairs.

Da da da...

"Thank you for your invitation, but I want to rest early today."

"It's alright. Have a good rest."

Sean sat at the coffee table in a daze - he thought he could have a smooth chat with Eric.

"(Is this the person doing the experiment?)" Sheen looked confused.

After Eric went upstairs, he quickly hung his school uniform on the floor rack:

"call--"

After finishing everything, Eric clenched his right fist and put the back of his hand on his head to wipe the sweat.

He thought of the scene when Sean went to the cafeteria for lunch at noon today and went upstairs with the card given by Everett.

He was right behind Sheen at the time: his intuition told him that there was something wrong with Sheen.

Eric put his left hand on his waist and kept pacing on the spot.

Ta-ta-ta-ta...

The sweat on his head dripped down his hair at his temples, but he had no time to take care of it.

He gritted his teeth and silently said in his heart:

"Damn it! The Crown Prince must have told Sheen all the bad things I did! After all, my damn father is the royal consort...

That's great, the initiative is now in Sheen's hands!"

(Implication: Jason’s wife was once a relative of the royal family)

Eric couldn't guess how Sheen would treat him when he found out about his evil deeds.

Plus, when he just walked in, Sheen acted like nothing happened...

"I was trying to improve my favorability, but I didn't expect Everett to be so annoying..." Eric felt that the current situation was not favorable.

"What a bummer..."

Of course, the current developments were anticipated by the Duke of Impes:

(Eric's memories)

"Bertha (Jason's wife, James's sister-in-law, Eric's nominal mother) has royal blood. I will tell the royal family what they did, and they will only be afraid of us Impers..."

James stood in front of Eric, clasped his hands together and told him,

"But so what? This doesn't prevent you from establishing contact with Sheen."

(End of memory)

Older gingers are more spicy.

"call..."

Eric crossed his arms over his chest and thought:

"It seems that only time can tell me what Sean is thinking."

......

The lower floor of the dormitory (duplex), Sheen's territory.

Sean's hand holding the teacup was suspended in the air, he was eavesdropping:

There had been no sound of footsteps upstairs since Everett had gone up.

But there were sounds of rummaging through clothes, dragging suitcases, making beds, brushing teeth and washing face.

That is to say...

Everett's walk was silent!

(The reason he made the sound just now was because he was wearing thick-soled leather shoes, but now he has changed back to normal shoes...)

Sheen crossed his legs and quickly understood a fact:

"Even though Eric may not have the right of succession, Duke Impes did not let him go."

The system (only visible to the reader) sat on the coffee table with legs apart, enjoying the cleaned Granny Smith on the table and drinking the tea in the cup.

(Eric doesn't want it, but we can't waste it...)

Seeing that Sheen had been sitting quietly, the system quickly realized that he was observing Eric's direction.

"This is an opponent who is not likely to reveal his true intentions, even if he is not the heir."

The system raised its head slightly and looked down the stairs.

"It seems that the heir, now Scott, is more difficult to deal with than him."

"Ok?"

Sheen pinched a Granola and stuffed it in his mouth.

"What do you mean, he's not the heir?"

Upon hearing this, the system flew up in a hurry and stared at Sheen with wide eyes:

"I almost forgot. Now that the story has developed to this point, the direction of the novel that comes with the system has also changed, and some general frameworks have been updated..."

Before Sheen appeared this book:

This is a new version of "The Game of Mediation", and it records his story.

Of course, the stories that Sheen had gone through were already written in black font, but what might happen later was still written in pencil.

And the pencil writing is so rough that it feels like an outline.

This book, Sheen couldn't catch it.

Because now, he is the protagonist of this book.

The system took the book in its hand and turned to the current story.

It tells Sheen:

"Eric Imperse. He is the adopted son of Duke Imperse eight years ago. He is also the only collateral relative that the Duke did not kill."

"The outline says, 'Eric made a quick deal with the Duke as he held the blade to his neck.'"

Sheen looked up:

"trade?"

He thought - I can use this to my advantage and make Eric think I'm a smart guy.

"Impert's principle of friendship is 'smart people': if you want to understand the Impert family, of course you have to become Impert's friend~"

ding dong~

Suddenly the display shows:

“Please sign your assignment: build a good relationship with Eric.

Mission Reward: 10 Gold Coins

...

Sheen thought of a very skinny problem (ideals are full, but reality is very skinny).

click!

The teacup was jolted onto the table, and the system's eyes widened.

Sheen remembered -

"I don't know when the Duke stopped paying the 5,000 gold coins per month he promised! This is only the third year of Sheen's further studies!"

(It was clearly agreed that it would be 12 years in total)
