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

The poisoning of Eric shocked the entire empire, and the nobles discussed it:

"Have you heard? There was a poisoning incident inside Impes."

"Who is so ignorant that he dares to set his sights on Young Master Impes? He is really shameless, isn't he?"

"Although Eric is the illegitimate son of the former Duke of Imperce, his abilities are recognized by the 'Monster Duke'. Moreover, the Duke held a grand adoption ceremony for him and personally announced that he would adopt him as his son..."

"The Duke of Impes will definitely punish the murderer severely!"

Although the Duke of Impess acted gentle and friendly in front of Sheen, he was ruthless towards those who hurt Impess:

Although Eric did take the poison himself, such a big move was enough to show that Viscount Bollera wanted to destroy the entire Impes.

The Duke mobilized all his forces to capture Viscount Bollera and his entire family as they fled south.

And personally investigated and judged the matter:

I heard that Viscount Bollera is a fanatical believer in the Empire's religion.

In other words, he is a fanatical believer in Haines' ideas.

After interrogation, the Viscount said that he followed Haines's beliefs.

He also believed that those without Impes bloodline and Impes' illegitimate children were inferior.

The tortured Viscount shouted at the Duke:

"Eric's appearance is a great shame for Impres!"

The whole thing is like that, like a farce.

Finally, the Duke reported the matter to the palace.

The royal family approved the Duke of Impes's execution plan: Viscount Bollera was sentenced to death, and his descendants were banned from participating in political affairs for life.

The Emperor's original verdict was this:

"Those who blaspheme God must pay the price!"

After Eric recovered, he told Sean everything, but Sean still felt suspicious.

Rather than targeting Eric, it would be better to say that the entire Impres was wiped out. This excuse might be more reasonable.

Sheen thought:

If the Viscount was really targeting Eric, he should have asked someone to deliver these cakes to Eric instead of putting them on the Imperth afternoon tea table...

Hiss.

This method of poisoning was also well known to Sheen, but of course it was not what happened in the current story.

But...

Sheen clenched his fists and thought of something:

"After being kicked out of the house by the Duke (at the age of 20), Xiren in The Game of Mediation used this method to frame Sheen, making the Duke think that Sheen would do anything for power, and thus treated Sheen coldly."

Of course, when Xi Lun gained power later, he told Sheen the truth:

"I made that poison myself. Didn't you expect that? What a good deal."

so...

My presence has already brought Xilun's expulsion from the house by Atole much earlier than expected.

So did Xilun resort to the same old trick in advance?

Sheen glanced at Eric who was standing near him and said calmly:

"Eric. You need to be on your guard."

"I know,"

Eric nodded.

"It seems that the only person who could set up this scheme is someone like me who is a fake Duke's adopted son."

Sheen's head felt like it had been hit by a hammer and he was speechless.

Ugh!

Even Eric could see that Xiren seemed to be becoming arrogant.

...

The gods of the empire bestowed oracles upon the two duke families. Because of this, the positions of the two duke families could not be shaken by anyone.

"However, the positions of the two major families seem to have shifted.

This resulted in the two families being unable to reach political unity, and even becoming hostile to each other. "

The first page of the original Haines family tree reads:

All the people in Haines can be divided into two kinds of animals, sheep and wolves.

The sheep represents the "angel of peace" and the wolf represents the "fighting nation".

Even on this page, there is an illustration about "wolves and sheep":

"Sheep" is a white sheep with white fur and golden eyes.

"Wolf" is a black wolf with black fur and red eyes.

Haynes strives to make all people "sheep guarding peace." However, wolves eating sheep is an inevitable "food chain change."

But some are wolves in sheep's clothing.

in other words--

"There are always wolves in sheep's clothing, using the power given by God to do evil."

But this is an incomplete word.

Because the Haines family tree is very old and has gone through a lot of hardships in transportation, its lower half is no longer visible.

Southern Empire.

Duke of Haines Palace.

Boom!

The weather in the south has been bad during this period, with wind and rain all the time.

There was even some thunder.

Boom!

Such an environment seems to complement the timing of Xi Lun's trial.

But this trial seemed to be tainted with blood.

"I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"don't want--!"

"Son!"

Boom!

pat!

...

Ta-da... Ta-da... Ta-da...

In Xilun's hand was holding the scepter representing Haines' power of judgment. The horrifying thing was that the spindle-shaped end was stained with a lot of fresh human blood.

The source of these human blood was due to some fearless nobles who informed Xi Lun about Xien's affairs. Their original intention was to remind Xi Lun:

Sheen is still alive, you have to be careful.

However, Xi Lun, who "pursues only one thing", misinterpreted it as "Sheen is not dead, and your current power will still belong to Sheen in the future."

Then?

What awaits these informers is having their heads smashed by the listeners—

Because the whistleblower "tried to divide Haines."

To Xi Lun, as long as this news did not reach his ears, Sheen did not exist.

"Some people say that Sheen is still alive, so kill him and the news won't spread to the crowd and cause panic."

"hehe..."

Xi Lun sneered a few times.

Of course he thought about the failure in summoning Iris in the temple.

"Humph, they said I was fake..."

Xilun tightened his scepter a little and stared at those who were struggling to death - I am the heir here, that bitch can't compare to me!

So what if I'm fake? Kill the real one, and I'll be real.

"I'm the only one, Haines is mine!"

Xilun felt very happy when he saw the bodies of those accused being thrown into the furnace and burned.

"Hahaha!"

As time went by, no one dared to tell Xi Lun anything about Xien:

Survival is the most important thing.

"call..."

Xilun was walking on the road.

Now we have to deal with this problem -

The plan to poison all Impes except the heir failed...

"This is really troublesome."

"I originally wanted to poison that adopted son. This would cause the people of Imperius to panic and think that the gods were giving them a warning, thus preventing their power from growing..."

Xi Lun thought all this was a "perfect plan": but for some reason there were omissions in the plan and the news even leaked.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became:

"(a string of beautiful curse words)!"
