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

Conscience triumphed over duty.

Ivan suppressed his smile and took out a napkin from the box on the table and handed it to Scott:

"Of course I'm kidding. There's no poison in this box of tea. If I poison you now... it would be harmful to me."

Thinking of the Duke of Imperth, who was so tall and majestic, and the rumors in the social circle, how dare I kill the Duke's only son? !

Scott wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth with a napkin:

"Hmm...it seems like you and Haines have some bad stories."

Ivan shrugged.

"Long story short. I once worked as a technician under Haines. But after they became rich, they poisoned my 'gift' and I almost died in the palace.

"So this tea is a reminder for me to be careful with them - this is the non-toxic tea I paid for, and I've drunk it several times. It's fine."

Scott nodded. "Oh, I see. Haynes is really bad (it would be strange if the villains I write weren't bad)."

Ivan was secretly delighted. The screen in front of him read:

"It is detected that the character 'Scott' has developed a dislike for the Haines family. Haines' credibility is -30."

30 huh? !

Ivan was delighted:

As expected, bringing an important character who drives the plot forward by your side will bring you more profits - I'm going to have to reap this leek well!

Ivan was stirring his tea with a spoon when he suddenly thought of something interesting.

"You know what? My sister was so excited that she couldn't sleep well that night after receiving those resumes from Impex...

"In those letters, you and the Duke of Impers both addressed my sister as 'Miss Eve Esther' and referred to her as 'Chief', which shows that you know her abilities and respect me from the bottom of your hearts...

"As her younger brother, I am happy for her~"

Scott held the tea and stared at Ivan as if he was eating a melon:

If you hadn't proposed that Eve was your alter ego, I'd have suspected that you and Eve had a cross-dressing fetish and liked to play each other...

"Besides, isn't this the proper respect for strangers? It seems that this guy has often been called a 'low-class pariah' by those nobles."

Ivan put his hand over his mouth to try to hide his excitement (but it was useless):

"My sister told me a while ago that it was a great pleasure for ordinary people like us to be colleagues with a big shot like you. Especially when she saw what you wrote in your cover letter, I...my sister was really surprised...

"This is the first time someone has praised my sister from the bottom of their hearts. I am so happy."

At this point, Ivan lowered his head shyly and covered his mouth with his right hand.

You can see he is very happy!

(The system (reader side) floating beside Ivan is shocked)

"Ho!"

Scott was stunned by this performance.

“It’s bad. The content of the letter was written by the Duke for me... I was on the battlefield killing enemies at that time, so how could I have the mood to write such a thing?

So I took what the Duke wrote for me and copied it myself... I didn't even have time to read what the Duke wrote...

James, what on earth did you write? How could you praise the 'Sullen Prince' so highly?!"

Scott kept giving himself mental hints - Eve is Ivan's clone, so it's normal for Ivan to be so happy. Don't expose it, don't expose it! Hold it in,

Hold back!

Although...

Oh, Ivan's smug expression is really unbearable to watch!

Scott did come here because of the "military marriage" factor, so a little praise would definitely make things go better when they first met.

But the power is too strong.

"James may have been with Nora for too long and knows how to write a 'marriage proposal letter'.

But this is too..."

Scott really felt the power of the Duke's "real strength to pit the female goose".

A few moments later...

“So, I have doubts,”

Ivan regained his composure, looked at Scott with red eyes, and asked carefully,

"I also have my sister, who you have never met before. Why do you want to work with us so much?"

Scott clenched his hands on his vest and calmed down:

“Ah…”

Scott (Stella) recalled in his mind last night how Ivan held a broken palm and killed people without any scruples in front of him.

Ivan is a lunatic...!

"You can't let him know that I came here because I don't want to marry this lunatic!"

but...

Scott thought about it and suddenly had an idea:

If the male and female protagonists of the novel explain themselves clearly to each other, a lot of trouble can be avoided!

"I can let him know my ultimate purpose for coming here!"

Anyway, I am Scott now. No matter how excited Ivan is, he won't like men, right? We are just negotiating, it's no big deal!

"(clears throat)..."

Scott straightened his back, put his hands on the table, and explained solemnly:

“Because the northern battlefield is not peaceful.

“Even if you are a business-oriented young man named Esther, you should have heard about Orenden’s use of black magic against Impes. Their black magic is very harmful. If we don’t find the right magic to deal with them, the border will always be in a state of war.

"You can understand it this way. I came here to ask you... or to be more precise, I asked Eve for help.

"Since the power of white magic is not enough to cleanse their damage, then we can still fight poison with poison, right?"

After hearing these inside stories, Ivan nodded:

"Hmm..."

Anyway, Ivan is me, and Eve is also me. It's the same to tell me these things.

He calmed down and analyzed the situation:

"(This man has always known that the Northern War was instigated by Haines) After Sheen's 'death', Haines became even more rampant...

If you want to become the head of the family, the 'fake' must never become the 'real'...

And the Impers family who supported the 'real' Haynes...cannot fall like this! "

"Okay. I'm willing to help you." Ivan agreed quickly.

"Huh?" Scott was confused - "It's done so quickly?"

The play must be done in full.

"So Miss Eve..." (Scott)

"I'll ask her opinion." (Ivan)

Scott: “…”

He tilted his head and looked at Ivan with a questioning look: "You seem to care about this."

Ivan quickly explained perfunctorily:

"I worked at Haynes for a while, and I've heard that some of their big accounts are missing. Plus, your family has never had a good relationship with Haynes, so I have a big guess... although I don't know if it's correct."

"Scott can't know...I know that this war was instigated by Haines..."

Ivan hurriedly took a sip of tea, then put the cup on the table:

"To be honest, I don't like what Haines did. Since the Duke wanted to marry his eldest daughter to me..."

"What?!" Scott's eyes widened.

Haynes actually wanted to snatch Ivan in this way? !
