Chapter 769: Don’t Destroy Your Own Personality

The one who came to the door was naturally the Duke Angus.

He woke up early on purpose and rushed directly from the territory to the magic city without using realm-breaking magic.

Speaking of which, he had a very difficult night. If Meia hadn't been pulling him and asking him not to interfere with An Zhe's affairs, he would have come here long ago.

From Meia's point of view, if Esdeath really likes her son, that can be considered a good thing.

Angus was actually not opposed to the two getting along, but because of Esdeath's status as the general, he couldn't accept the matter of directly taking Anzhe away.

After all, he is the son of a duke, isn't he...

Well, this is just one of the reasons why Angus came in a hurry. The other reason is that Esdeath doesn't know yet that Anzhe is a great nobleman.

Not many people in this world know Anzhe's identity, and most of them are high-ranking officials and nobles. Many people only knew that Angus had an only son, but they didn't know his name and appearance at all.

As for Esdeath, he never cared about Angus' children at all, so he naturally didn't know Anzhe's identity.

Angus was also a little unsure...

Maybe Esdeath actually already knows?

The guards on one side were still struggling to stop him, trying their best to perform their duties, but they did not dare to really stop Angus. The two were already very close to the room.

At this time, there was a soft knock on the door, and the lock order was lifted!

Anzhe's figure appeared from behind the door, his expression seemed dull, but Angus couldn't help but stop.

The guard had a ghostly expression on his face. Of course he knew why Anzhe was in Esdeath's room, but he didn't know what Angus meant when he said he came to find his 'son'!

Maybe he had already guessed it, but he never dared to think about it...

However, this scene at this time forced him to recognize a fact clearly.

The general snatched a man back on the road, and then wanted to be the leader of the village, and then this man was actually a super noble or something...

oh! Do you want to be so ridiculous? The probability is too small! !

He screamed in his heart,

But he found that Anzhe had lowered his head and said softly: "Father."

Angus opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but couldn't, so he nodded slightly.

Anzhe turned his head, glanced at the guard with an inexplicably funny expression, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You go down first."

The guard stayed for a second, then nodded quickly, bowed slightly and left immediately.

Logically speaking, he wanted to confirm that Angus would not break into Esdeath's bedroom before retreating, but he listened to Anzhe's words inexplicably. He didn't know why he listened to the boy's words so much.

Anzhe didn't say much, walked back to the room and lowered the curtain beside the bed.

Angus naturally caught a glimpse of the faint outline on the bed, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.

"You're not messing around, are you?" He hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help asking.

"What do you mean by messing around, Dad?"

Anzhe rolled his eyes and asked rhetorically.

He still had some complaints in his heart. Don't think about it. If something like that happened, his father must have known the news a long time ago!

But after waiting for so long, he still didn't see his father come to save him from the "water and fire"...

Although in the end, he himself resisted Esdeath's temptation, the suffering was still unavoidable.

It’s really uncomfortable to be able to see but not eat!

Anzhe's heart was full of small resentments, and Angus naturally felt it too, but the Duke was helpless. He wanted to come over, but his wife refused...

"It seems like nothing happened." Angus tried his best to maintain his dignity, but still avoided Anzhe's gaze.

An Zhe was also helpless: "Dad, you know it, right? It's definitely not me who's causing trouble! I'm the victim!"

As he spoke, he spread his hands and glanced at the outline of the sleeping beauty behind the curtain.

Angus opened his mouth and shouted angrily toward the curtain: "Now that you're awake, aren't you going to explain it to me?"

What responded to him was two sharp ice crystals, which flashed in front of Angus in an instant, and then exploded, forming a thick ice wall in front of Angus.

Angus' face darkened slightly, which was exactly her usual way of greeting.

Cursing this crazy woman in his heart, he quickly melted the two ice walls as his magic energy surged.

Esdeath opened the curtain, got dressed and walked out. He glanced at Anzhe with a gentle expression, and then looked at Angus, who was blowing his beard and staring.

"It really surprises me. I seem to have found a great partner."

"Your acting style is still so unpredictable." Angus said solemnly.

"I didn't know Anzhe was your son before this."

Esdeath squinted at Angus, but reached out and took Angus's hand.

Angus' face darkened: "Now you know."

"I know, but Anzhe is already mine." Esdeath said with a wicked smile.

An Zhe heard that one was the first and the other was the big one. What was this guy talking about? Those who didn't know thought that Esdeath wanted to be her son... He quickly stretched out his hand to interrupt the conversation between the two.

"Stop! Stop, stop, stop... The point you are arguing about is a bit strange. Please consider my feelings, okay? Well, I'm hungry. Father, you haven't had breakfast, right?"

…

At the dining table, Anzhe sat there with a numb expression. Opposite him was Angus, and the first seat on the left was Esdeath.

"The main problem now is that the whole empire is spreading rumors about you and Anzhe. You have caused a lot of trouble to Anzhe's life. As a public figure, you have failed very much in this regard."

Angus said in a deep voice that he has been working hard to protect Anzhe's privacy. Although people will not think of Anzhe's identity now, there is no guarantee that trouble will not arise if the exposure is too great.

As a Duke of the Empire, he has made too many enemies, and he is the only one among the four Dukes who has an heir. Before Anzhe fully grew up, being a father was his weakness.

Esdeath naturally understood Angus's considerations, but he waved his hand indifferently: "Wouldn't it be better to block the public opinion news? Just point the finger at me."

Anzhe sat there without saying a word, he had also considered these things. If necessary, he has to disappear for a period of time.

This thing indeed happened suddenly. If Esdeath had known Anzhe's identity in advance, he would never have done such a thing. But now that it has happened, Anzhe has completely come into people's sight. There is no other way.

Of course, this is just thinking about the worst case scenario, but Anzhe doesn't think there is any need to worry too much.

The reason why he could calmly choose to refuse the temptation was just because he was afraid of destroying his personality. After all, he had 'never' seen Esdeath before this... ()
