Sheen turned around and looked.

The boy in school uniform in front of me was very tall (I later found out he was 186cm tall), with green hair and sky blue eyes.

The logo of his school uniform is a hand holding a medicine bottle - he is a freshman in the School of Pharmacy.

Everett looked at the man in front of him, then looked at Sheen:

"Xien's blond hair makes it easy to guess his identity..."

But he took a few steps forward and stood in front of the boy.

"Ah, Crown Prince..." The boy saluted Everett.

(Inexplicably embarrassed) "Call my name." Everett was helpless.

"Hello, Mr. Alfred Edinburgh Portia." (Male)

Even more embarrassing...

Everett felt the need to introduce the person in front of him to Sheen, so he turned around and gestured to the boy:

"Sheen, this is Eric Impes. The eldest son of the Impes family. He is a freshman this year, just like you."

"Hello, Mr. Sean Haynes." Eric waved to Sean.

Impes...

This person... seems to be very familiar with others, what's going on...

"Besides, wasn't the eldest son of Imperth Scott in the original book? How come there's an Eric who's the same age as me?"

Sheen found it a little unbelievable.

"Ah, hello." Sheen nodded.

"If you don't mind, you can live with me." Eric smiled with narrowed eyes.

Such enthusiasm amazed both Sheen and Everett.

Xien thought of what the system said when he was sleeping:

(Long story short, the Impes family is very different from the original - a new generation of Impes ruling group was directly replaced!)

Xien thought about it.

In other words, the current Impes family is not the corrupt family described in the novel...

What happened to the Duke?

Sheen felt it necessary to take this opportunity to get a good understanding of the inside story: the sudden appearance of Young Master Impes in front of him was a good introduction point.

"If it's the third floor, where are you?"

Sean looked up at the third floor. It wasn't too high, and he wouldn't die if he fell down (ruling out murder from a height).

"The third one from the left to the right on the east side." Eric pointed to the dormitory with the light on.

It’s a bit far from Liu Xuxu’s dormitory, and there’s an exit there - at least there’s no need to worry about meeting Liu Xuxu in the dormitory.

Sheen nodded:

"Yes, sure. Thank you."

Everett withdrew when he saw that things were going smoothly. He almost thought that the two men were going to fight...

He said to Sheen:

"In that case, just follow Eric to that dormitory. Eric, you have two keys, right?"

"There are some."

Eric nodded happily and pointed to the luggage in Everett's hand (which he was carrying for Sean).

"Looks like he's going to help carry it up there??!!"

as expected...

Eric smiled and said:

"Is that Sean's luggage? I'll help carry it up. No need to trouble Senior Everett."

Unable to resist Eric's enthusiasm, Everett reluctantly let Eric take the bag he was carrying:

"Okay, be careful. Don't be so reckless."

Then, Everett said goodbye to Sheen:

"Then I'll go do other things first."

"Okay, goodbye, Senior Everett." Sheen nodded.

Who knew that when Everett left, he deliberately moved closer to Sheen, stuffed a card into Sheen's hand, and whispered to her:

"Lunch time, private room on the second floor of the cafeteria. I'll wait for you there."

It can be heard that Everett has something to say.

Sheen nodded slightly, and while Eric wasn't paying attention, he put the card into his pocket.

Eric took Sheen to their dormitory: it was actually a duplex (the upper and lower floors were their respective private spaces)?

This dormitory is pretty good.

"There are two dormitories like this on the third floor. I arrived early today and got one."

Eric put Sean's bag on the open space at the entrance.

"You can live downstairs. I've already packed up the upstairs. I've taken a fancy to the built-in laboratory upstairs."

A favorite among pharmaceutical experimenters.

"Oh, sure." Sheen nodded.

"It's just convenient for me to go out."

"I heard that the nobles in the southern part of the empire value privacy very much. I will not help you pack your things out of respect for your privacy."

Eric climbed up the stairs, holding the handrail.

"I'll go upstairs and rest first, take your time~"

"Ah, thank you." Sheen finally got Eric out of the way.

......

Sheen always felt that Eric's enthusiasm was abnormal:

If Everett wasn't there, or if the person next to Sheen was just a low-ranking noble, Eric would probably have carried Sheen upstairs.

But Sheen couldn't explain why.

Eric turned around and went upstairs, smiling evilly at Sheen with his back to him.

Of course his enthusiasm was fake.

Eric recalled the scene of him changing into his school uniform and preparing to leave in a carriage:

When the Duke saw him off from the Duke's Palace, he told Eric:

"I heard that the Haines family has been arguing about who is the true orthodox bloodline between Xien and Xiren. You also know that I never care about such things.

"But their rumors even affected the information circle in the north."

The Duke of Impes, dressed in knight's uniform, stood at the door and put his hand on Eric's shoulder.

"Although Haines and Impes are incompatible on the surface. But as the head of the Impes family, I feel ashamed of their fratricidal behavior."

What the Duke of Impes mocked, of course, was the Haines family's absolute belief in oracles and their belief in the existence of "the only one".

This struck him as ridiculous.

He felt it was time to draw conclusions.

So he gave Eric the order:

"In order not to waste time on such issues, you should go and see what kind of person Sheen is while you are still studying."

......

(Omitted the process of Sheen searching for Everett in the cafeteria for a long time)

"It seems that you care about this person as well?" The Crown Prince welcomed Sheen into the private space.

Sean sat opposite Everett and took the tea Everett personally poured:

"Are you going to tell me about Eric?"

What Sheen knows now is that the oracle set by the Game of Mediation for the Impes family is "the first child" -

The gods gave the first child of the Impes family enough talent for governance.

Only if the "first child" inherits the title can the Impes family continue to receive the blessing of the oracle.

The inheritance of the Impes family did not follow the aristocracy's default "male inheritance":

Because the Duke's first child might also be a girl.

I heard that the Impes family has produced ten duchesses, and they are all very outstanding.

(Sean asked earlier, "What do you want to talk about Eric?")

"Of course, because it's weird,"

Everett's words brought Sheen back to reality.

The Crown Prince scratched his head and sat opposite Sheen, saying in confusion:

"Given the Duke of Impers's behavior, he would never keep the illegitimate child of his half-brother who had occupied the title for several years."

"The half-brother who once held the title"?
