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

This is an inevitable disaster.

But Hai Yili believes that everyone around Xien will protect him, and Xien will also protect himself:

"I hope this child can get through this difficult time."

...

Two hours later.

The carriage arrived at the Duke of Impes's palace.

Sheen sat in the carriage and watched it speed across the cable-stayed bridge.

A bridge whose main beam is directly pulled onto the bridge tower by many cables is a structural system composed of many pressure-bearing towers, tensioned cables and bending-bearing beams.

I didn't expect that this world actually has such architectural capabilities.

Eric introduced Sheen:

“The Duke of Impes Palace is built on a plateau. This is the largest and most impressive walking route.

"After we cross this bridge, we'll be home."

Sheen turned around and looked at the tall building that could be seen not far away, although it was surrounded by fog and could not be seen clearly.

But he could guess.

"Gudong (swallow saliva)..."

"This is the background of the fourth act - the Duke of Impes's Palace."

(Get off the carriage, skip the greetings and introductions)

Sean stepped on the blue-gray floor tiles of the Duke's Mansion and followed Eric to observe the surrounding environment:

There were spires and flat roofs, plastered wooden frames and load-bearing stone pillars. The exterior walls were paved with light grey bricks, and there were some plants planted in the yard, which was well maintained by the servants.

This is the Duke of Impes Palace.

Unlike the Duke of Haines's Mansion, although this place looks much more solemn and deserted, it makes people feel comfortable inside.

"welcome."

Two servants who had been waiting for a long time opened the door of the Duke's Mansion for them, and they walked into the Duke's Mansion.

Sheen could see a completely different view from the Duke of Haines's Palace:

The round arched windows in the corridor let in light from inside, and the only sound in the entire corridor was their footsteps.

The floor-to-ceiling windows offer a panoramic view of the beautiful outdoor scenery.

The faint sunlight poured down, filling the room with a mysterious atmosphere.

The corridors were empty.

Unlike the Duke of Haines's Palace, its corridors are not filled with works of art - it is said that the Duke has no hobby of collecting treasures, so he did not decorate the place with these fancy things.

Da da da...

Eric tells Sheen where he will live:

"Thanks to me, you are staying in the Duke of Impess's Palace as a long-term guest. There is no need for a so-called welcome ceremony..."

Welcome Ceremony...

Sheen quickly looked up at the system, and a window popped up for Sheen.

On the surface, the welcome banquet of Impes was attended by all members of the Impes family to welcome guests from afar.

"It is actually a test to see if the visitor can become an "intelligent" friend of Impes."

Eric said "no welcoming ceremony is needed", which means: Sheen has become Impes' friend.

(That's good...)

Sheen couldn't help but mutter to Eric:

"It's just like the feeling when I accepted Xi Lun's invitation, but was tested by the Lady Lord."

"(Complaining) If I hadn't drunk the poison and ended this battle, I would have been sickened to death by Xiren (showing off the diamond brooch given to him by the Duke)."

After hearing Sheen's muttering, Eric turned his head and complained:

(Sheen told him those things)

"Ah, I'm sorry to hit you where it hurts--

"Your blood family members regard you as an enemy. I wonder if they have nothing better to do."

Xien rolled his eyes inwardly:

Eric is such a mouthful.

"It's worth all the effort I put into becoming friends with you." Sean couldn't help but complain to Eric.

"hey-hey..."

Eric scratched his green hair and laughed:

"Can't you just think of it as me testing you?"

Considering the differences between the family system of Haines and that of Impers, Eric felt that he should tell Sheen about the changes in his daily life that would follow.

He continued to speak to Sheen:

"Your room is on the second floor. This room is a duplex, and there are doors on the second and third floors to go out."

It’s another duplex...it seems like all the eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are done in here.

Sheen thought that was not bad.

Eric continued:

"In order to protect your privacy, the servants of Imperth will only provide you with food and regular room cleaning services - for example, you can eat in the room when it is inconvenient for you to come out, and the maids will come to wash your dirty clothes after you ring the bell."

The implication is: no "head-to-toe care" like Haines did.

Sheen could tell that the Impers paid more attention to personal privacy:

In this place, there will never be any offensive behavior such as elders suddenly pushing open the door of the younger generation.

Sheen thought:

But it sounds good to no longer have to have other people watching my every move like a prisoner.

"Of course, if this kind of service method is placed in any noble family in this world, it will shock people for a whole year if it is told to others."

Xien couldn't help but complain:

"It's like I'm moving to a new dorm."

Eric was really amused by Sheen's choice of words:

"Haha. You can understand it this way.

"In short, our servants are more dignified than yours. They really won't be taken care of from head to toe - this is a rule that only came into effect under the current Duke of Impress."

James?

Sheen tried to ask:

"Then I wonder if there are many people who love to go to work? Because it is indeed a decent job."

"Yes, but there doesn't need to be too many people. This is a position that requires competition."

Eric spread his hands a little wider and motioned for Sheen to look at the empty Duke's Mansion:

“Besides, few people come and go in the Duke of Impes’s Palace, so we don’t need so many servants to help us.

"Including you, there are only sixty people in the entire Duke of Imperth's Mansion."

"Sixty..."

Sheen's eyes widened.

You know, in the Duke of Haines Mansion, which is of the same size as this place (including the Duke's Mansion, the Lord's Mansion, the outer house, the living quarters, and the garden), Sheen has seen at least 400 unfamiliar faces while living there...

(There are thirty servants in Norata Castle alone)

So in a duke's palace of the same size, sixty people...

Sheen could feel the echo from inside the mansion:

“Ahahaha…”

This is indeed a bit hard to get used to (empty, empty).

Eric shrugged.

"You don't have to worry about not having enough work to do. There are magicians among these servants. They can keep the Duke's Mansion in perfect order."

Eric was silent for a moment and then blurted out:

"Anyway, my father doesn't like crowds, and doesn't like people disturbing his privacy.

"He said that he should not let the next generation continue to suffer the injustice he suffered as a child."

Eric's face was solemn when he said this.

Sheen also knew that the "father" Eric was referring to was James:

Eric only recognizes James as his father.

"what..."

Speaking of James, Sheen felt a chill down his spine.
