Imperial Crown.

Chapter 74 He is my father!
Tomorrow will be the day to set off for Bloody Highlands. The atmosphere in the entire Eagle Castle is becoming increasingly tense, and everyone is in a state of anxiety.

Even the usually calm old Gordon was no exception, and he scolded two servants who were incompetent until they cried.

Only Raven kept his own pace. After getting up in the morning, he washed and changed his clothes with the help of Petty. After having breakfast, he went straight to the dungeon to continue practicing magic.

"Fire listens..."

The sound of the spell chanting echoed in the dungeon, but just after a few syllables were uttered, Denise's voice rang out from outside the door: "Raven, I have something to talk to you about."

The voice was calm, but very stiff, and clearly angry.

Raven also felt a little angry. He turned to the door, opened it, and said impatiently, "I'm practicing magic. Can't you wait a moment if you don't hear my response?"

"There are plenty of opportunities to practice." Denise pushed back without giving in: "Didn't you say before that Visdon should stay behind? Why are you taking him to the battlefield now?!"

Raven suddenly realized.

That’s what it’s for!

But he wasn't going to admit it.

"Oh, don't be so excited." Raven blinked innocently and asked, "Is that true? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Then he looked at Volav and said, "Do you know about this?"

"Don't play dumb with me." Denise frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "I have heard from Weston himself that he is still wearing your enchanted chain mail!"

"Oh, so that's how it is." Raven patted his head and pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "Hey, I've been too busy recently and I can't remember some things."

"Yes, I remember now. That's what happened. Weisdong came to me and volunteered to fight the enemy. He started crying when I didn't agree. You know I'm a soft-hearted person. I had no choice but to agree to this."

"Soft-hearted? You?" Denise exhaled through her nose and went straight to the point: "No matter who proposed it, I hope you can give the order now to let Weston stay in Eagle Castle!"

"No problem." Raven nodded decisively and said, "But you still have to ask Visdon himself about this matter. As long as he agrees, I won't object."

Raven spoke so quickly that Denise felt uneasy. She asked doubtfully, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Yeah, of course." Raven spread his hands and said, "I respect everyone's opinion."

"Then you must remember this." Denise frowned, looked at Raven deeply, turned around and left.

All the way up to the second floor, as soon as she turned the corner, Denise saw Weston.

At this moment, he was boasting to a maid: "I'm going to the battlefield soon! Tell me, what kind of spoils do you want? When the time comes, I'll grab a horse thief as a slave for you, okay?"

The poor maid didn't dare to leave, nor did she dare to say anything in rebuttal. She could only stand there and nod her head.

"Wesdon!" Denise's voice rang out. Wesdon shuddered violently, turned around with a smile on his face and looked at her: "Mother!"

“Come with me,” Denise said sternly.

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the third floor.

"Oh, okay..." Weisdon smiled awkwardly, and did not forget to turn around and throw a wink at the maid before following.

As soon as he entered Denise's room, Weston heard Denise say, "Close the door."

"Yes..." Weisdong closed the door: "Mother, what can I do for you?"

Denise's face was gloomy, and she said in a commanding tone: "Take off your armor."

According to past experience, once this sentence is uttered, Weisdon should do it immediately.

But this time, Visdon stood there motionless.

"I told you to take off your armor!" Denise raised her voice. "Can't you hear me?"

"Mother..." Weisdong swallowed and said hesitantly: "...I don't want to take it off."

Denise didn't expect to receive such an answer. She frowned and asked, "What did you say?" "I said... I don't want to take it off!" Weisdong suppressed his pounding heart and said loudly, "I want to go to Bloody Highlands to make achievements!"

Hearing this, Denise felt both angry and amused: "To achieve great things, then..."

She wanted to say "with you", but seeing Weisdong's serious expression, she was afraid of irritating him, so she could only say: "Wesdong, mom knows that you have the ability and ambition, but you are still too young and have a long way to go."

"There are many opportunities to make achievements. You should prepare yourself first. Wait a few years until you are an adult and your martial arts and body are mature before you go. Isn't that good?"

"Not good!" Weisdong stood up straight and said seriously:
"Brother Raven said something very true."

"A person can have many opportunities in his life, but he can only seize one or two!"

"I will never let this opportunity go!"

The look on Denise's face was brilliant.

She had raised Weisdon for fourteen years, but she had never gotten him to obey her.

As a result, less than half a year after they got together, Weisdong kept mentioning Raven left and right, and simply regarded him as an idol.

I am such a failure as a parent!
"Don't believe a word Raven says. He has bad intentions towards you!" Denise said earnestly, "Wesdon, think carefully, are you too naive?"

"He treated you so harshly before, how could he suddenly start giving you benefits for free? Don't forget, he is not your biological brother!"

"Stop talking!" Weisdong said bitterly, "You don't understand the real Raven at all!"

"No one has ever praised me since I was a child. People who approached me at school only wanted my money. Their praise was insincere!"

"Even you, my mother, have never praised me!"

"Only Raven, only he, discovered my strengths! He strengthened my body, enchanted weapons and armor for me, and took me into battle to kill the enemy!"

"From childhood to adulthood, he is the only one who treats me so well!"

"You're right, he's not my biological brother!"

"He should be my father!"

"With him as my father, I should have been an adult long ago!"

"You...!!" Seeing her son become a stubborn donkey and even paired herself with Raven, Denise almost fainted.

She held her forehead, took a deep breath, and said with great sorrow: "Wesdon, wake up and stop being so childish!"

"Armor and weapons can be recycled. If he really cared about you, why didn't he give you the God-given potion? Why didn't he invite you to the military meeting?"

"He just wants you to go to Bloody Heights and die!"

Weisdong's chest rose and fell violently. He looked at Denise with a puzzled look, and even a hint of...

disdain?

"Shut up!" Veins popped out of his forehead as he shouted, "You are not allowed to slander my father!"

"......!" Denise felt a tightness in her chest and blackness in front of her eyes.

She pointed at Weston with one hand and covered her chest with the other. Her lips trembled as she tried to say something, but she couldn't utter a single syllable.

Then he rolled his eyes.

Really fainted.
