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

Hmm ...

Sean held the dessert box in his right hand and rested his chin on his left hand as he thought for a moment:

"My Lord Duke, no one can take the initiative to punish Xi Lun.

You just need to take me with you.

I will explain the rest to His Majesty in person, and he will surely understand the Duke's difficulties."

...

After Sheen left, Hughes couldn't help but complain about the Duke:

"Look at yourself, then look at the blond young master,

"Alas! I really don't know why he was born under your knees..."

The Duke was speechless and could only nod in agreement.

(Scene dividing line)

Today Sheen is wearing a kraft paper-colored windbreaker and a hooded cape.

He and the Duke were riding in a carriage on the way to the palace.

"He also carefully selected this suit."

The car was so quiet that Sean could only hold onto the window with both hands to look at the scenery:

If it weren't for my lack of strength, who would want to see the Duke's gloomy face...

"Cough cough."

The Duke cleared his throat:

"Although there is little affection between us, you are no longer a commoner and have the last name of Haines,"

(Chatter mode activated)

"Remember, no matter what happens, you must not let others see your emotions. This is your first time to meet His Majesty the Emperor, so you must maintain the demeanor of the Haines family."

Sheen couldn't bear to listen any longer:

Don’t you know how much you weigh?

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke, I will not make any mistakes."

The carriage that the Duke and Sheen were riding in had the emblem of the Duke of Haines' family on it. The knights who saw the emblem stood on both sides and saluted the galloping carriage.

The carriage stopped.

The Duke wanted to reach out to Sheen and lead her out of the car.

This subconscious action occurred when Xilun was meeting the emperor.

But Sheen just raised his head slightly and glared at him, and the Duke's face flashed with hesitation.

After a while, the Duke withdrew his hand.

"Our relationship is not that close yet." Sheen said lightly.

"Yeah." The Duke nodded slightly.

The atmosphere is a bit subtle:

It's a father-son meeting, but it's more like a temporary pairing...

When Sheen's feet touched the ground, the Duke continued chattering:

"Just keep smiling when you see the emperor, they will take you through a series of tests.

"The test results will dispel many people's doubts."

Sheen felt helpless:

I think you are the one who needs to be reassured the most.

The system display appears in the air (only visible to the reader):

Successfully unlocked the hidden plot.

Magic is at hand.

(Celebrating with flowers in my heart.GIF)

The father and son walked into the temple under the guidance of the guards.

Not only were there several priests waiting in the temple hall, but there was also a gallows with a blade reflecting light.

It seems that the emperor can't wait to see which of the two young masters is real and which is fake.

"Ok?"

The emperor, sitting in his seat, noticed that the visitors were just two figures, one big and one small, but he still kept smiling.

The Duke and Sheen stood at the bottom of the stairs and saluted the emperor:

"I have met His Majesty."

After the father and son turned around, the emperor slowly spoke:

"And there's another child?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Xi Lun got into trouble a while ago, so I grounded him. If I let him out early, wouldn't that just indulge his temper?"

The Duke answered with a prepared answer.

Then he waved his hand, signaling Sheen to take off his cloak:

"This is the blond boy in the rumors. His name is Xien, but I'm not sure if he is my child..."

When Sheen took off his cloak, revealing his dazzling golden hair, he could hear the priests beside him exclaiming:

It was probably about how shiny and beautiful Sheen's hair was.

The emperor was shocked and smiled, then said to the Duke:

“He’s a steady kid.

"He was just brought back by you, right? Should I say you educated him well? Shouldn't I?"

Sheen almost laughed out loud when he heard the emperor's half-joking accusation that the Duke was derelict in his duty.

(Hold on, hold on...)

The Duke closed his eyes and bowed slightly to express his apology:

"I'm sorry to have worried you..."

The emperor lowered his head and focused all his attention on Sheen. The Duke also noticed:

"Say hello to His Majesty, Sheen."

"I have met His Majesty."

Sheen raised his head, and the emperor finally saw what Sheen looked like.

......

The emperor looked at Sheen's appearance and suddenly he understood (Sheen looked like his mother).

He said half-jokingly:

“It’s normal to have such doubts, the child should look like his mother (he really doesn’t look like the Duke at all…).

"It's a pity that Master Xilun didn't come. I wanted to let them recognize who is the real child blessed by the gods under the witness of the gods..."

Xien OS:

If Xilun is really brought here, the Elf Stones protecting the empire will probably be offline...

Sheen interjected gently:

"I can tell you, your majesty, that this is inappropriate."

"Sheen?!"

The Duke was stunned (horrified to the point of leaving his body).

The emperor was stunned for a moment, but the golden hair shone in the light of the temple, making him very interested in what Sheen said.

He held his chin and smiled slightly, causing the priest next to him to widen his eyes.

"It is disrespectful to the gods to discuss trivial matters in the family in front of them."

Sheen stepped forward and stood in front of the Duke.

"We finally came to the temple, and this is also a great opportunity to confirm whether I am Haines's bloodline, isn't it?"

In fact, the emperor had a sense of propriety:

When Sheen looked up and looked at me with those beautiful brown eyes, I felt a gentle intimacy.

He felt comfortable talking to Sheen.

To put it more abstractly, Sheen's appearance is like the warm sun in the cold winter, or the tender sprouts growing in the desert.

"This is so different from how he felt when he met Xi Lun."

For some reason, although Xilun had met him many times, the emperor could not develop any interest in him.

On the contrary, there is a sense of foreboding.

The abstract point is that a claustrophobic person enters a narrow passage, which makes people feel unpredictable.

The emperor looked at the Duke who once favored Xilun, and it was hard not to condemn the "blind" Duke in his heart:

"This guy can't even notice such a stark contrast. He must be blind."

He was pleased with Sheen's natural calmness:

"Well, you're right. Of course, this result is not for me to see."

The emperor nodded.

After glancing at the Duke whose forehead was covered in sweat, the Emperor signaled the priest in charge of the appraisal to come out.

......

The three priests announced the result to the father and son with a smile:

“It has been confirmed by the Temple that Sheen is indeed the biological son of Duke Haines.

"And in the magic test, Sheen's magic talent is very high. He is definitely an excellent heir who can support the Haines family~"

The Duke's expression didn't even change.

He acted as if he was calm and collected, as if he had just heard the common sense that "water flows to the lowest place".

The priests are so embarrassed...
