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

Ada was concerned about Sean's mood and kept walking behind Sean and asking:

"Are you OK?"

"It's okay, really..."

Sheen smiled wryly.

"It just gave me some trouble. But it was just one more example of the unfair treatment I got at Haines."

"I'm used to it..." Sheen shook his head helplessly.

Eric trotted out of the room with the two men and listened to Sean's complaints:

"Alas, I didn't expect you to have such a miserable life in Haines..."

Eric was completely convinced that Sheen's defection was due to Haines's cold treatment of him - he felt a little sympathetic towards Sheen.

Afterwards, Sheen made up his mind:

"I need to think of more ways to let her know the price of becoming a vicious female supporting role..."

"I will cause you more trouble..."

"I will destroy your reputation!"

......

As students who want to get credits, they will not let go of the opportunity to get credits:

The high priest didn't dare to offend them at all.

But it may also be due to Sheen's strange behavior. In the afternoon, when Lilibei was supposed to meet with the students of the theology department, the temple said that Lilibei was not feeling well and would not come out.

They got the credits after listening to some lectures by teachers from the theology department.

With 1 credit, one month's living expenses will not be a problem.

Sean suddenly felt happy!

......

There is a small wooden shop inside the theology department, which sells delicious desserts and iced drinks.

This little shop was highly recommended by Ada.

After coming out of the temple, the three of them went to the small shop.

The interior of the shop is warm and cozy, and overall it looks like a "peaceful haven in a bustling, noisy area."

And it’s also a great place for couples to date:

When Sheen followed Ada in, he could even see some familiar faces (some southern nobles who were on good terms with Haines). These noble men and women were here to experience the feeling of dating without telling their families.

Eric explained:

"Most of the people who gather here have family engagements since they were 7 years old. In order to avoid being discovered by their parents, couples in love will date privately in dessert shops or jewelry stores..."

Changing the subject, Eric teased himself:

His hearty laughter is his exclusive BGM.

"Hahaha..."

"Of course, since the Impes family is so difficult to deal with, no one wants to marry me, including my Impes sons~"

Xien and Ada looked at each other and snorted coldly:

Ada ran away because she currently has no noble status, and Sheen ran away because the Duke ran away before he had time to find a partner for him.

They think it's good to be a single nobleman.

Ada pointed to the wooden stairs and suggested to them with a smile:

"Let's go upstairs. The light is good there."

Uh-huh.

They sat down in the windowsill on the second floor, and could hear the melodious sound of piano from time to time.

Considering the living expenses issue that Sheen just revealed and his affection for Ada, Eric proposed:

"I'll treat you this time. Do you want anything to eat?"

......

After getting the two's permission, Eric left humming a tune.

Not long after, he came up with a hand-woven bamboo basket, which contained the snacks he ordered this time:

Two cups of strawberry smoothie and mango smoothie with ice cubes floating on them, a slightly cold banana milkshake, a plate of sliced ​​cake with vanilla cream and cookies with chocolate chips embedded in them.

The strawberry smoothie was what Sean wanted, the mango smoothie was what Eric wanted, and the slightly cold banana milkshake was because Ada said "she has a bad stomach and can't eat anything too cold."

Sliced ​​cake is the standard for aristocratic afternoon tea.

As for the chocolate chip cookies...

That can only be a hint to the two of them—

He hasn't forgotten what just happened (Lilibe holding the cookie and saying something like 'so good'...).

Sean and Ada smiled at each other...

After Eric returned the bamboo basket to the front desk, he quickly came up and sat opposite Ada:

"Now that the storm has passed, I have a question for Sheen...

"Sheen, what were these 'Haines rules' you were talking about? Why didn't Lilibei recognize you?"

"Uh..."

Sheen paused stirring the smoothie with his straw and thought about the setting of the Game of Mediation:

There is a rather strange rule in the Haines family.

This is the rule set by the uniqueness of the oracle!

In order to maintain harmony among the Haines family members and to ensure the rights of little Haines, brothers and sisters who were more than two years apart in age were raised separately.

Younger siblings can only meet their older siblings when they are 7 years old.

The purpose was to prevent the elder Haynes from harming the younger Haynes.

This system is not so obvious among direct blood brothers and sisters with the same father and the same mother (or half-sisters), but it is fully reflected in the current Haines.

Because the Duke and the Lord are not separated!

So in order to protect his children, the lord made this suggestion to the Duke: the Duke's children could not visit the little Haines until they were 7 years old.

After all, Bonnie and Sheen were old enough to take care of their younger siblings.

Sheen told this setting to Ada and Eric.

There was a look of shock on both of their faces.

"What the hell..." (Ada)

"This lord is wary of you like thieves..." (Eric)

Sheen thought Eric's description was extremely apt.

"Ugh..."

Sean continued to stir the strawberry smoothie, watching the crushed smoothie move on the juice:

"It may also be because besides Xi Lun, the next fourth son is Boyden, born to the current Duchess. He is 10 years old. The age difference between us is quite big."

Eric was silent - the third son, Xilun, was 16 years old, the fourth son, was 10 years old...

"What's this?"

Sean nonchalantly told the fact that had shocked Eric for a whole year.

"The fifth son, Julian, is also 10 years old. Of course, he was born to the Lady Lord. Two years later, the Lady Lord gave birth to twin daughters: Lilibet and Fanny. I only found out about these brothers and sisters when I looked through the family tree."

Sheen paused:

"And during the time I stayed at the Duke's Mansion, I never saw Boyden, the half-brother born to the current Duchess."

"Uh..."

Xien felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head:

"You understand, right? Lilibei was switched. I can tell why she was able to be switched successfully by looking at her hair color."

So...

After listening to Sheen's description, Ada thought about her own life experience:

Nancy (Mrs. Jones) got pregnant before marriage, and before she could tell Alex about it, Alex abandoned Nancy for the sake of profit.

The reason is that young Nancy doesn't want Alex to take risks for power.

Alex felt that Nancy was a complete hindrance.

After abandoning Nancy, he turned around and married Susan (Lady).

In order to stop Alex from thinking about it, Susan asked the knights to hunt down the pregnant Nancy...

If Nancy had not been rescued by Romos, she would not have been born and would not have been able to grow up safely...
