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

The emperor was relatively lucky. His brothers and sisters all supported his succession to the throne, so there was nothing much to say.

But the suffering he is going through now is not much worse. He can only say that he was too stupid back then and planted the seeds of disaster like Catherine and the Lyell family for his son.

"If he had been more careful back then, he wouldn't have been attacked like this."

He swore in his heart that he would eradicate this cancer before passing the throne to Everett.

And it just so happened that the Haines ruling group had some alliance of interests with the Marquis of Lyell's family, and the Impes family had some subtle connections with Arthur's ruling group.

The emperor thought that if he could promote the relationship between the royal family and the Impes family, he could suppress the arrogance of the Haines and Lyell families...so he called the Duke of Impes over.

"What do you think now?" The emperor was carefully testing the Duke's thoughts.

Yes, now that the northern border has been pacified, Crown Prince Everey proposed to go to the border to help in the war. This did indeed boost the morale of Everey's forces, and also brought honor to the royal family (proving that the royal family is powerful)!

The pacification of the border and the complete exposure of Haines' collusion with the reactionary forces of Orenden meant "huge wealth" to the Impes family, which had been suppressed for a long time.

The Emperor thought that he was the leader of Imperius, and would definitely use this as an excuse to completely crush Haines’ power, and then replace him with the real Haines leader (Arthur), and everything would be peaceful.

But the Duke just smiled slightly, then shook his head slowly:

"Your Majesty, you still underestimate the complexity of human nature.

"Although you already know that the second prince is not of royal blood, Catherine is the queen and her mother's family is powerful. If they unite to rebel, the entire empire may not be called 'Portia', but will be renamed 'Layer'."

"What?——" The emperor widened his eyes.

James finished the tea in the cup, but strangely, he held the cup in his hand and refused to put it down. Then he smacked his lips and said calmly:

"Don't be surprised, because from the moment Catherine destroyed Kalinin's appearance, their ambitions were already stirring.

"Let me analyze it for you. The Lyell family is now eyeing Siren Haines and Lilucius Lyell Portia, who are actually related to them by blood. As long as they can successfully help them become rulers...

"Among the three forces, two are affiliated with Lyell."

The Duke paused deliberately when he said this, closed his eyes and listened, and heard the sound of someone moving against the left wall.

really...

The Duke's mouth curled up slightly.

The emperor, who was unaware of this, broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this:

"I won't let this happen..."

"That's what they want," Duke Impes shook his head. "Even if they fail, they have already found the right opportunity to do it.

"Rebellion!"

The Duke stood up suddenly and threw the cup in his hand towards a landscape painting on the left wall of the room.

Snapped!

The cup pierced through the landscape painting in an instant, and even smashed through the wall, causing the head of the male servant who was lying outside the wall to bleed.

Click, click, click.

The moment the cup smashed through the wall, a hole half a person's height was created in the wall, and the servant was hit by the cup into the other wall of the secret passage, with bright red blood gushing from his forehead and unable to move.

The emperor opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth. Before he could say "someone is eavesdropping", the Duke of Impels had already rushed forward (or "flew forward"), flexibly crouched down and put his upper body into the hole, and suddenly clamped his left hand on the servant's chin.

Click!

"???"

A very crisp sound was transmitted directly into the emperor's ears, and the emperor was stunned.

When the Duke of Impes quickly dealt with the eavesdropper, the emperor's only reaction was to stand up from his chair and look in the direction of the broken hole.

The emperor's orange eyes were filled with shock - wow, this was too fast!

"Hahaha..." The Duke pinched the skinny servant's chin with his left hand, grabbed the servant's collar with his right hand, and pulled the servant out of the hole like an eagle grabbing a chick. Then he threw the servant to the ground.

Boom!

The whole process was smooth and flowing, as if it had been "rehearsed". And apart from the sound of the teacup breaking, there was no other movement of someone rushing to grab the servant.

“Ah…”

The servant fell to the ground and couldn't even scream because the Duke had dislocated his jaw.

"Oh, ah..." The Duke put his hands on his hips, his green eyes gleaming with a fierce look.

"If you want to eavesdrop on any information from a Black Impess like me, you're dreaming."

The emperor stood there in shock. He was already petrified.

By the time the emperor reacted, the Duke had already taken out the potassium chloride poison packet from the servant's mouth, as well as the damaged recorder next to the servant's ear.

When the emperor saw the poison bag taken out by the Duke, he suddenly understood why the Duke's first step was to remove the servant's jaw - to prevent the servant from committing suicide after the truth was revealed.

As long as the servant is still alive, we can always get some clues by torturing him more severely.

The Duke took the recorder in his hand, took out the pen with the power of retrospection that Eric had sent him from his waist pocket (although he didn't know where the power of retrospection came from, but as long as it could be used, it was fine), and repaired the recorder.

He put the recorder to his ear and heard what he had just said to the emperor.

The Duke put his hands on his hips and whispered to the Emperor:

"According to my intuition, he must have been sent by the Lyell family, or rather, by the Queen. In any case, we should be more careful in the future."

The emperor gritted his teeth and said, "They are actually starting to play dirty tricks."

Duke Impres shrugged and said, "The Crown Prince's military achievements have increased his power, which is like a catalyst."

emperor:"..."

Then the Duke took a few steps forward and slammed his leg into the servant's abdomen.

The footman groaned, but he couldn't close his mouth.

The Duke smiled slyly and said coldly:

"Fortunately, what you have in your hand is a recorder and not a bug. If it was a bug, I would have killed you when I came in.

"Your boss is such an idiot! Since I was able to survive the bloody battlefield and even become the head of Imperce, do you think my vigilance is just exaggerated?!"

The emperor thought about the actions: a porcelain cup smashing through a wall that was at least 15 centimeters thick (not counting the thickness of the murals), and even the action of bending over, removing his chin, and dragging the male servant out in less than a second.

As expected, he is the father who can raise a war hero, the head of Impes!

"Thanks so much to you this time," the emperor said gratefully.

"Don't thank me, just think of it as preparation for the battle in advance,"

The Duke looked down at the dying servant and said,

"The enemy hiding behind the scenes can no longer sit still."
