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

When talking about Haines, Ivan became very excited.

"Hmm? Let me think.

"correct,"

Ivan put the pen into the ink, then bent down to look for something in the drawer. Soon he had a letter with Haines' official seal in his hand.

Scott speculated in his heart: Since the Haines family was punished, they could not write letters with the Haines seal, so this letter must have been written by the current agent of the Duke's Palace.

"Is Uncle Arthur in the Duke's Mansion?"

"Yes."

as predicted.

Ivan held the letter in his left hand and explained:

“This is a letter from Uncle Arthur. After he sorted out his own affairs, he went to stay at the Duke of Haines’s mansion.

"But in order to avoid suspicion, or because Uncle Arthur hated the brothers who killed him, he lived in an outer house of the Duke's Mansion - you can compare it to the Lord's Mansion."

(It is a residence inside the Duke's Palace in the original work, very close to the Norata Castle)

Scott said perfunctorily:

"In fact, Mr. Eaton doesn't need to save face for them."

Ivan almost rolled his eyes: "I respect Uncle Arthur's ideas. No one wants to see brothers killing each other."

Scott was secretly delighted - Eric never had such vicious thoughts, he was just a workaholic.

Ivan snorted coldly and continued:

"He said he was living well there, and that the people at the Duke's Palace were very welcoming and treated him well.

"Those people welcomed Arthur as the new head of the family. It was as if they were disgusted with Atole's rule."

Scott complained:

"After all, Atole's crimes have been made public by the Arbitration Council. Who would want to follow a murderer?"

Ivan didn't care how Atole was punished, he just cared about Arthur having a good life.

Then, he took out the letter slightly and looked down at its contents:

"He said that the next four years would be difficult for him and his retainers. He would be busy governing the dukedom and his earldom.

"But don't worry too much. After all, your uncle is a professionally trained person."

Ivan had expected this - Arthur's return to Haines would be smooth sailing:

Most of the retainers now belonging to the Earl of Eaton are the retainers who "betrayed" Haines. For them, such a change is just "changing the master and continuing to serve".

The retainers have adapted to the changes and are even enthusiastic about helping Arthur deal with Haines' affairs.

This is the effect of Arthur's timely assistance when they are in trouble.

Scott sighed:

"I'm just an outsider, but I've heard my father mention it... It seems that Haines's orthodox education is different from that of others -

"To be honest, Dad wrote a while ago saying that Haines has been much more well-behaved since Arthur took office. That's great."

(Conscience likes)

Ivan was secretly delighted: "You have to trust my eyes when I choose a dad~"

Since Arthur had a smooth journey, Scott was very curious:

"So, what about those Haines?"

Ivan spread his hands and continued:

"Hmph, just so-so.

"You asked the right person. I have assigned a group of my men to monitor their actions. They will report to me on Haines's movements every other week."

Scott was a little speechless: "To be honest, Ivan's privileges are no less than those of the nobles..."

Ivan spoke in a sarcastic tone, as if these things were not important at all:

"They all stayed in the small villa that originally belonged to Viscount Lange. And they were under absolute surveillance by various forces. Even if they wanted to write a letter to anyone, it had to be reviewed and checked by the officials stationed in the building.

"The people stationed in the building are royal officials or nearby nobles, as well as my men. It's no problem to get some information."

Scott added calmly:

"Yeah. It just so happens that Eric and Ada's respective territories are very close to Lange's territory. It seems they can also get some information - Haines is really asking for trouble."

"Haha. Really?"

Ivan actually laughed:

"There are so many people monitoring the fake Haines group, they are really asking for trouble!"

Ivan smiled and drank a sip of red tea, then gently put the tea down and said lightly:

"Of course, except for those who have some interest in Haines, other insignificant letters cannot be written - the punishment stipulates that they can only write three letters a week, which is the total of the whole family."

"That's true that these four years have been enough to drive them crazy," Scott complained helplessly.

Ivan snorted coldly:

“Hehe, this is the punishment they deserve.

"Not killing Atole on the spot, or forcibly taking the title away and giving it to Uncle Arthur, is the greatest respect the royal family has given them!"

Scott shook his hands and sighed:

"It's a hidden danger. But there's nothing Impes can do.

"What I mean is that if one of my parents really died, they would have to pay with their lives - but since they have been able to stay quiet for four years, we won't say anything."

"That's true..."

After Ivan finished speaking, he moved the letter up a little and looked at the eye-catching paragraph on it:

“As I recall, you and I were planning to go back four years later.

But because Charlotte couldn't hold on any longer, and with the help of Impes, I had to return to Haines early.

Sheen, you don't have to worry about my safety. Now that I'm here, I will gain everyone's recognition in the next few years and govern Haines well.

This is to pave the way for your return to Haines. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later.

Although now, I am still being instructed by the nobles loyal to Atole because I have no offspring,

They even said, "No matter how powerful I am, the heir can only be Xi Lun."

But I have decided to pass the title to you, not Xi Lun.

so...

I'll give you some time to delay.

Just focus on handling the contract between you and Ivan."

Ivan looked at the letter and smiled.

The plan is flexible:

"Anyway, it's not a bad thing for me to enhance Arthur's reputation while those people are powerless to compete with him."

While Ivan was focusing on the letter, Scott looked at the letter in Ivan's hand.

The signature on it is "To: Ivan Ester".

But he knew:

“Everyone in the magic tower knows that Sheen is recuperating underground, and Arthur is naturally aware that Sheen is still alive.

But why is his letter in Ivan's hand? Is Ivan more important than Sheen?

it's out of the question!"

This can only mean one thing - the person who conquered the Zephyr Crystal was Sheen, and the person sitting in front of Scott...

It's Sheen!

As he thought about it, Scott touched the hair tie and a comb in his pocket and got up gently from his seat.

"Ivan,"

Scott walked up to Ivan, took out the hair tie, and pointed at the hair tie that Ivan tied on his long braid with his left hand - it was about to be worn out...

"Well, you should change your hair tie... Otherwise, people will say you are so stingy even though you have some money, which would be bad."

"When you tie your hair up, you should be able to show the skin on the back of your neck, right?!"
