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

(Memories)

The Duke stood in the audience, and the people sitting there looked regretful but had no choice.

"Duke Haines, I'm deeply sorry about this, too,"

The emperor sat on his throne and spoke hurtful words to the duke.

"I know that Master Xilun has always been valued by you and the Lord, and you have always kept him by your side.

"But his magic power is too weak to support the "Magic and Strategy" sign of Haines."

Such a sharp comment made the Duke embarrassed, and Atole could only lower his head and remain silent.

"The feud between the three of you brothers has caused the two living people to exclude the meaning of blonde hair, but the gods and people of the empire will not obey your ideas."

The Duke trembled, he heard the words "three brothers":

Could it be that the emperor still remembered him? Impossible.

The Duke pondered.

The emperor did not give the duke any chance to explain himself and directly stated his purpose:

“In order to appease the people of the empire, the royal family must intervene in this matter.

"I order you to bring the blond Haines bloodline back to the Duke's Palace. If you still want Haines to continue, do not resist the will of the royal family."

The emperor had no good face towards the duke.

The Duke felt a headache after receiving the imperial order, especially since he had already found out that the Duchess had given birth to a child without his knowledge.

The blond boy that the emperor mentioned didn't run away.

"But Your Majesty..."

The Duke lowered his head and gritted his teeth, his palms sweating.

Due to many factors, he couldn't turn his heart to Sheen quickly.

"He is Carol's child. I am worried that her illness will affect the orthodoxy..."

The emperor became impatient when he saw Atole's gray hair. Knowing the inside story, he guessed the Duke's tactics.

But due to the Duke's power, he could only turn a blind eye:

"Each generation of Haines has only one legitimate bloodline!

You two are really brave, don't you know that blaspheming the gift of God will lead to serious consequences?"

Atole was not orthodox, but he had an orthodox child. This made the emperor see that there was still a chance to save the situation.

It depends on whether the Duke can get it right...

The emperor put pressure on the duke indirectly, but of course he also saved some face:

"I'm not saying you have to give up Xilun, I'm just reminding you kindly,"

The Emperor spoke his orders without mercy:

"For the future of the empire, the true and legitimate young master must inherit the title and the fake and legitimate young master must be killed."

The Duke was dumbfounded to hear such instructions.

He wanted to retort, but the emperor didn't give him a chance:

"The Haines family should consider the overall situation, right?

"I will continue to pay attention to this matter."

(End of memory)

The Duke rested his chin on his hand and thought, muttering:

“But if they really start fighting, who should I help?

"One is my biological son who I have no feelings for, and the other is a legitimate substitute who I have raised for 13 years..."

"Keep your voice down, Duke! If the Third Young Master hears that he is a substitute, he will definitely find a way to kill you."

Ted quickly closed the door to prevent anyone from hearing.

"If you really die and both young masters are underage, according to the law, Alex will inherit the title."

Ted looked around to see if there was anyone around, and muttered in a voice that only the Duke could hear:

"When the time comes, he will pass it to Xi Lun. It will be a waste of Xi En's return."

The Duke did not think this matter was serious. Instead, he sneered and then picked up the photo frame on the table and stared at it for a long time:

"You are right, competition is inevitable..."

"I defeated you, so naturally I became Haines' master."

The Duke looked at the photo and read out a name:

"Arthur."

The person in the photo is a young man with long blond hair and deep blue eyes:

Atole's eldest brother, Alex's second brother, and one of the "three brothers" mentioned by the emperor.

"It's reasonable to put Sean and Arthur together and say they are father and son."

"It's so similar."

Atole couldn't give his true heart to Sheen so easily.

At this moment, Ted heard footsteps coming from behind the door, and soon the door shook slightly:

dong dong dong...

"Mr. Duke is busy, wait a moment..."

Ted quickly opened the door a little, stuck his head out and looked at the person standing outside the door -

"Master?"

Bang (pushing the door).

With that dazzling blond hair, Ted knew who the child was even though he had never seen him before.

He shrank by the door and stopped talking.

Sheen pushed open the door and entered the Duke's study, not giving Ted any room to react:

"My Lord, did you hear what I said to you?"

The Duke was so frightened that he quickly put the photo frame on the table with its back facing away, then looked up:

"Xion...what did you say?"

Sheen tilted his head and scratched it, saying:

"Let me state the conclusion,"

"I have packed my things. As long as you are willing to give me a large sum of money to transfer my residence, Xilun can move to Norata Castle tomorrow."

Sheen did not forget to add:

“I’m planning on moving to the northern part of the Empire State, and those places aren’t under the control of Haynes.

"This way, the Lord won't have to worry about his child being threatened, and you won't have to worry about Xiren being pinned to the ground and beaten by me."

After saying the words "Northern Empire", both adults shuddered:

There are only two duke families in the empire, and Haines' power can only govern the southern part of the empire with a pleasant climate.

The climate in the northern part of the empire is not very good, and the cold winter there is a "physical damage".

It is precisely because of the extreme climate there that few people in the south are willing to stay there: the Duke in the north welcomes population migration~

(Xien's inner thoughts: Compared to the "magic damage" here, if it doesn't work out, I'd better live in the north...)

"What??"

Ted quickly closed the door and took a few steps forward, touching Sean's blond hair, and buzzing around Sean like a mosquito, muttering:

"Master! You suffered so much outside, and the Duke finally found you back.

"Although there is no love between you, the Duke will not treat you unfairly..."

Ted is such a road steward…

Sheen was really worried that he would say the classic line "The Duke hasn't laughed in years."

This kind of person is quite an eyesore.

Sean stared at Ted with his brown eyes and said coldly:

"Get out. This is a private matter between the Duke and me."

Her expression instantly seemed to overlap with Carol's - Sheen looked very much like the Duchess.

Of course, this resolute attitude is exactly the same as the Duke's.

"what..."

Ted broke out in a cold sweat.

Although he didn't get angry when looking at the child in front of him, Sheen's aura always made him tremble.

Is this the orthodox bloodline?

"Yes."

Ted was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He bowed to the two of them, closed the door and went out.

After the door closed, the two people in the inner room fell silent.

The Duke saw that Sheen came alone and couldn't help but comment:

"You do have some of her shadow in you, and of course some of mine as well."

He looked down into Sheen's brown eyes:

Her fair skin and brown eyes were like two brown agates embellishing the ivory velvet cloth.

"You have eyes like hers, you know that?"
