After all, he often heard rumors about the Duke of Impes in the academy:

(The system will kindly pop up a window to remind you)

Unlocked character: James Impress. Now the Duke of Impress.

He is a hero who guards the northern territory of the empire, a tough guy that even the emperor dares not provoke.

Despite his high position, he was aloof and had never been to the south since taking the title.

Because he was mysterious and extremely aloof, many nobles were resentful of him.

"It is rumored that the Duchess has health problems and cannot have children again, so he only has one child -

Many nobles urged the Duke to divorce his wife in order to make their daughter the new Duchess of Imperius.

But James never asks about these boring topics.

In addition, everyone regards him as the "Monster Duke", "Devil Duke" and "Cold-blooded Duke".

(There is no nice name anyway)

...

It is rumored that the Duke of Impes killed people without restraint and took pleasure in hearing people scream. He hated socializing and never even attended noble meetings.

Some people say that James's appearance has been ruined by his long time on the battlefield, and no woman can bear to live with a disfigured man.

Otherwise, why did he only marry one wife?

......

After reading the system pop-up window, Xien was speechless:

"What kind of weird rumors are these? Why is the emphasis so refreshing?"

But the atmosphere of the Duke's Mansion is indeed...

Ugh.

Xien rested his hand on the carved white jade handrail, thinking to himself:

"Although I came here with full confidence...I don't want to be treated like Haines here. Or even be hated by the people here."

If he is really ignored, he might as well stay in Haines - at least Sheen is valuable enough, and Haines and others will not touch the real young master.

Da da da...

The two of them slowly walked up the escalator and were on their way to Sheen's room.

What Sheen thought:

"Uh, by the way. Can I meet the rest of the Impers family today?"

“I don’t think it’s possible…”

Eric shook his head sheepishly.

"Scott is still patrolling the border, my mother is sick and resting in her room, Leo is visiting the temple, and Florin is running her business group..."

Sheen raised his hands repeatedly to stop Eric from speaking:

"...I know you really want me to meet the other Imperius members, but I can't remember so many names at once!"

(Inner thoughts: But I’ll feel relieved if Scott is outside...)

Eric smiled awkwardly:

"That's right."

"but,"

Eric changed the subject.

"Father is here, and he happens to be free now."

"Eh!"

Xien's eyes widened.

Are you going to let me meet the Duke of Impasse who is rumored to be cold-blooded?

While Sheen was in a daze, Eric turned around and subconsciously looked upstairs.

His eyes suddenly lit up:

"ah...

"Father."

After hearing what Eric suddenly said, Sheen came back to his senses and raised his head to look upstairs:

A tall man with short black curly hair, a thick black and white trench coat, thick blue pants, and brown knight boots was standing on the second floor platform.

He lowered his head slightly and stared at the two people with his dark green eyes blocked by tasseled glasses. They seemed to be able to see through everything.

Although the Duke looked very calm at this time, his demeanor revealed a coldness and majesty that made people involuntarily feel a sense of respect for him.

Black hair and green eyes, the same as Scott.

He is very handsome and quite young (compared to the protagonist's father...yes).

He is the Duke of Impes: James Impes.

As expected of the overlord of the northern part of the empire. This gentle and noble aura seemed to reveal an irresistible momentum.

This is how Xien evaluated the person in front of him:

"Based on aura alone, Duke Haines cannot be compared with Duke Impess."

Of course, if it is Arthur who inherits the title of Haines, that is another story.

Eric called out to the Duke:

"Oh my God, did father hear us?"

"I'm just passing by. This is my house, and I just happened to have some free time to go for a walk. Isn't that okay?"

James folded his arms and looked at Eric's panic.

His eyes were filled with a wry smile of "this kid".

As Eric hurried over to James, Sheen was able to fully observe the Duke of Impers...

But when Sheen fully reacted, he fell into a new round of shock.

"This, this, this..."

Sheen held the scarf he had just taken off in his left hand, stretched out his right hand, and carefully pointed his index finger at James:

"Eric, this is the Duke of Impes?"

You know, Eric once mentioned to Sheen that "my father is still able to fight on the battlefield, and his eyesight is not very good under the stimulation of war", so he needs to wear glasses when reading -

Then the Duke must have been working before he came out...

No,

James in front of him was handsome. Although his face showed some traces of war and cold wind, there were no wrinkles at all.

And he had "stars in his eyes".

Judging from his appearance, he doesn't look much different from Eric.

He looks really young - I would believe he was Scott's brother!

"Yeah." Eric nodded.

"what?!"

Sheen's pupils are shocked.JPG

(Inner) "Father... He's Scott... No, the father of four children..."

After Sean reached the second floor platform, Eric stepped aside and introduced James:

"Father, this is Xien."

When Sheen stood in front of James, he found that James was the same height as Arthur (182cm).

Ta-ta-ta-ta...

The sound of the knight's boots almost scared Sheen to death.

James tilted his head, held up the frame of his glasses with his right hand, and smiled at Sheen:

"You are here, Mr. Sean Haynes.

"I hope you enjoy the next two months."

Although these words sounded well-intentioned, to Sheen—

Why do I feel like "If you do something bad, I can easily kill you"? ?

Sheen shuddered.

Eric put his hands in front of James' eyes and couldn't help but complain:

"Father, he is not an enemy... He has already passed my test, there is no need to test him a second time."

"Have it?"

James was confused.

"I just wanted to say hello to him. Is it so difficult?"

Maybe it was because Eric blocked James' eyes, Sheen suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not so weird.

What’s the situation?

"Hahaha!"

James looked at Sheen's confused look, squinted his eyes and laughed out loud.

“What can I do? I didn’t expect people in the south to be so fragile.

“So this is what scares people, is it because I’ve killed so many people?

"Then I won't have to worry about the royal envoys visiting in the near future."

As soon as Sheen heard the term "royal envoy", he became interested:

"what?"
