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

The palace banquet hall.

A man stood upstairs, looking down at the mess downstairs.

He was wearing royal formal attire.

Da da da...

Crown Prince Everett turned and left, then went out onto the small terrace.

Watching the magicians take Ivan back to the magic tower for treatment and escort Aida out of the palace.

"Alas," Everett muttered, leaning on the handrails.

"I finally had a night off from work. But a poisoning incident ruined my evening.

"Haines is really good at making trouble."

Everett is one of the few people who knows that Ivan is Sheen. In fact, you don't need to investigate to know that the whole story was directed and acted by Ivan (Sheen) himself.

Everett lowered his head and began to mutter to himself:

"Forged contract, Charlie Roman, new tea, Sweeney, unopened...

"The Viscount Roman who committed countless crimes?"

"The entire family of Count Laurent was suddenly murdered, and the Count's youngest son..."

"The goddess statue emitted light for a few seconds..."

“Ahhh—”

Everett breathed a sigh of relief and held his forehead with his right hand. "It seems that a new oracle has descended upon the world."

The next day.

The back garden of the Queen's Palace.

There is an elaborately decorated pavilion in the center of the back garden. In the pavilion is a round table carved from ivory marble. The table is covered with a silk tablecloth, on which are placed some afternoon tea and a set of white jade tea sets that the queen likes best.

From a distance, there was a man and a woman sitting face to face at a table, seemingly chatting in secret.

"Crash..."

A pair of hands wearing diamond rings gently placed on the jewel-studded teapot, then gently picked it up and slowly poured tea into the cup.

"I have no other choice but to come to you, Queen. For the future of your distant nephew, can you help me convince that stubborn guy?"

"How many times have I told you this? Even if I'm the queen, I can't do anything about it."

After Queen Catherine (the second prince's mother) poured the tea, she slightly adjusted her washed and combed dark brown hair, and her eyes seemed to be watching a show.

Sitting opposite the Queen was the Duke of Haines.

It was clear that the Duke wanted the Queen's help - the Emperor's expression had not eased since the poisoning incident last night.

The Duke's mind was filled with the cold gaze of the Emperor when he was questioned in person after he was taken away by the royal guards. After the Emperor learned that Arthur was still alive, his attitude towards the Duke was one of sarcasm and ridicule.

The "stubborn fellow" the Duke was referring to was naturally the emperor.

As the queen of outsiders, she said her brain was also working at high speed -

"Who has clean hands if they can climb to a high position? Many people died at the hands of Atole. Ivan is just a commoner, so it doesn't matter if he dies.

But Ivan is the chief magician and the younger brother of the Bloody Nun! If she knew that it was Haines who wanted to kill her brother, I don't know how she would retaliate!

Besides, due to the oath between the Magic Tower and the Royal Family, the Royal Family has the obligation to protect every high-ranking employee of the Magic Tower. Haines suddenly did this. If it were me... "

The queen curled her lips and had nothing to say.

Seeing the Queen's nonchalant attitude, the Duke knew he was in the wrong. After a moment of silence, the Duke defended himself:

"But it wasn't me who poisoned Prince Ester. Queen, think about it carefully. If I really wanted to harm him, I should have done it in my own territory so that I could deal with him secretly.

"No matter how stupid I am, I will not poison the palace, let alone let the entire social circle know about it."

After the Queen heard the Duke's thoughts, she slowly drank her tea and smacked her lips:

“I understand what you said, but Lukexiding (Emperor’s name) happens to have an issue with you becoming a duke.

“From the moment he knew Arthur was still alive, you were a fake in his mind—no matter how perfect a fake is, it can never compare to the original.

"It just so happens that you forged a contract and lost your credibility, which made His Majesty even more suspicious of you... The injustice you are suffering now is actually the result of your previous sins!"

The Duke put down the cup and lowered his head helplessly. For some reason, the Duke suddenly thought of Xiao Xien.

He held his forehead and said calmly:

"It's really strange. I used to have good luck... but since the news of Sheen's death came out, my luck has been much worse."

"Even if Sheen was still alive, would I not have encountered so much trouble?"

After hearing this, the Queen couldn't help but roll her eyes at the Duke:

"When Atole and Sheen were alive, you despised him. Now that Sheen is dead, you are nagging about him again? Oh, I understand—"

The Queen's tone was full of disdain when she said the following words:

“When you’re lucky, you’ll say it’s your own strength, and when you’re unlucky, you’ll say it’s the bad luck brought by your blond son.

"Now that the blond master is dead, you can't find a reason to shirk responsibility, right?"

After saying this, the queen covered her mouth slightly with her hand, but still couldn't hide the smile on the corners of her mouth.

The Duke signaled the maid to add more tea. After drinking a cup of warm tea, he said helplessly:

"I can't say that it was Xilun who brought me bad luck, right? If he could bring me misfortune, how could I have been fine in the past?

"And Tisien is useless, he's already dead. Whatever happens to Haines next has nothing to do with him."

After the Duke finished speaking a bunch of venting literature, the Queen gently placed the teacup on the table.

"Atole, although I don't know the truth of the matter, I do have an idea that can help you escape from danger."

After hearing what the Queen said, the Duke raised his head quickly:

"tell me the story."

The Queen spread out her beautiful hands and gave the Duke some advice:

"If you didn't do this, then someone must have framed you. If you come across poisoned tea leaves, you should investigate carefully.

"Even if it's a family that resigned and ran away not long ago, you have to investigate it thoroughly."

"If you did this, then," the queen smiled strangely.

"Haines has so many retainers. Can't you just find someone you don't like to take the blame?"

After listening to the Queen's words, the Duke nodded thoughtfully.

This is indeed a good idea to give up a piece and save the overall situation.

But...

"I am indeed the victim in this matter. I don't know why things turned out like this..."

The Duke was helpless.

"Wait, so... someone is actually framing me?!"

The Duke was furious when he thought of this:

"Someone actually wants to frame me?! If I hadn't been enlightened, I would have really been the scapegoat for others!"

A series of hurried footsteps sounded near the pavilion. The prince was particularly sensitive to these sounds.

He looked up in the direction of the voice and saw a maid running towards him in a hurry:

"Empress, Empress..."
