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

The hand holding the pen hung in suspense for a moment.

Not long after, Eric continued to write:

"I admire Sheen's attitude, but I won't let my guard down completely..."

But no matter what.

Eric smiled.

"I like how smart Sheen is."

It's not because he is the orthodox bloodline of Haines, but because he has a special personal charm.

"I seem to see the ambition of the future heir of the Haines family.

I am looking forward to the future.”

After finishing the letter, Eric turned the letter over and wrote in the center of the magic circle: James Impez

Swoosh...

As the magic circle was activated, the contents on the letter floated out of the window.

"So this is how magic letter paper is used..." Eric said lightly.

......

Duke of Impasse Palace.

Duke James Impess, a tall man with black hair and green eyes, whose muscular body could not be covered even by his loose casual clothes, stood by the window and paced back and forth.

At this moment, he was reading the letter Eric had written to him and smacking his lips:

Tsk tsk...

It can be seen that Sheen successfully aroused the Duke's interest.

"dad,"

The tall boy sitting on the sofa drinking tea was wearing a dark green windbreaker and had the same black hair as the Duke.

Unlike the Duke, whose hair is slightly curly, the boy's black hair is straight.

"What did my brother write? You've been reading it for half an hour."

"Nothing."

James answered truthfully,

"That Mr. Haines has successfully proved himself to be a shrewd man, not quite what we thought."

"understood,"

The black-haired boy took a sip of tea and then thought to himself,

“This doesn’t fit my budget.”

From the looks of it, you can tell that the person sitting on the sofa is the Duke of Impes's biological child.

His name is Scott Impes.

One year younger than Sheen. The second son of Impes.

He has short straight black hair and green eyes. He has long legs and a thin waist. His temperament is a bit like a polite nobleman, and his appearance can be described as "delicate".

Scott inherited his hair and eye color from the Duke, but his facial features from the Duchess.

With this appearance, he is indeed the Duke's biological child.

This young man looked weak, but he was quite capable. He was recognized by the Duke as an "excellent successor".

(The previous article mentioned that he is a rare magic swordsman in the empire)

"The Impes family doesn't keep idle people. Besides, he's the heir?"

When James saw that his own child actually poured cold water on his high spirits, his face suddenly fell.

He folded Eric's letter quickly and put it in his pocket, then hurried over to his son and sat down suddenly.

Bang.

The sofa suddenly sank on one side - this is definitely emotional!

Scott was so shocked by the Duke's big move that he straightened up:

"Wow!"

"dad?"

Scott looked at the tea in his left hand:

Fortunately, it was just a little bit.

His green eyes were filled with question marks.

"Be serious." The Duke's green eyes were full of "seriousness".

"Yes..." Scott's head was sweating.

(The Duke of Impasse's word is law, and Scott is following the law)

And Scott knew that his father was just joking, so as long as he quickly admitted his mistake, the Duke would not punish him.

After the Duke finished his willful behavior, he sat upright next to Scott, took out the letter written by Eric from his pocket, and handed it to Scott:

"As the heir of the family, you should read your brother's review of Xien..."

Scott put the teacup on the coaster on the coffee table, took the letter skeptically, and then held it in both hands and looked at it for a long time.

Scott was silent, with his right hand covering his mouth to show his confusion.

"Sheen, as described by Eric, doesn't seem as decadent as the rumors say...

Those rumors we heard seemed to be directed at... Xi Lun. "

Scott was a little confused:

"what's the situation?"

The Duke was silent for a moment before explaining:

“I always felt like Sheen’s behavior was purposeful, like he had an intention to get close to Impes.

"But think about the current situation,"

The Duke tilted his head toward where Scott was sitting.

He analyzed rationally.

"When all roads are blocked or occupied by others, any smart person needs a platform to show his talent - Sheen approached the opposing forces of Haynes... This indirectly shows that he is actually quite disappointed with the current Haynes."

Haines' decadence is the same as what is written in "The Game of Mediation" -

Sheen is now in the academy and the role he plays is almost the same as that of Sheen in the novel who was imprisoned in Norata Castle as a mascot.

As soon as the Duke finished speaking, Scott covered his mouth and coughed twice:

"Cough cough..."

After coughing, Scott replied to the Duke:

"This proves that the rumors we have collected are correct,"

Scott held the letter in his left hand, leaned forward, and continued to pick up the teacup with his right hand.

"Something must have gone wrong within Haines, which allowed the true orthodox bloodline to escape the control of Duke Haines in some way."

Both father and son tacitly agreed that Duke Haines had done something privately that made his own son so disappointed in him.

Impes was thinking——

What the nobles like to inquire about most is the trivial matters of some big families. Letting Haines attract the attention of the nobles will make Impess feel much more at ease.

Scott smacked his lips.

"If he hadn't done that, we probably wouldn't have thought of investigating the matter involving Haines."

The Duke of Impers seems to have always known something about the Duke of Haines:

"Yes, it can be considered as a reasonable excuse to investigate this information--"

After the Duke finished speaking, he stood up with the help of the handrail, closed his eyes and scratched his head with great enjoyment:

"I thought that all the Haines were incompetent people who were clinging to power, but I didn't expect that there is an active and motivated person coming to the northern part of the empire.

"You also know that I have been sending people to spread the rumor that 'the north is dangerous', but this did not stop him from seeking help..."

Scott closed his eyes and nodded slightly:

"That's right.

“I think for Sheehan, whether it’s Haynes or Impes, who now seems to be a nemesis of Haynes.

"As long as there are useful resources, he will think about using them. That's why he wants to build a good relationship with Eric..."

Scott smiled narrowly and slammed the cup down on the saucer.

"It's worth it that we sent Eric as bait."

The Duke curled his lips.

"Can you put it in a nicer way? Eric is your brother."

"I'm just making an analogy..."

The Duke heard Scott compare Eric to "bait" and didn't know how to refute his son.

He could only return to the topic:

"Of course Eric has indeed helped Impes confirm Sheen's intentions. At least he is not a hypocritical person."

"Unlike those Haines..."
