I Really Don’t Want to Be the Ruler of the Abyss! - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: The King Also Had a Headache

Early in the morning, Duke Dupont brought the commission form to the Imperial Palace.

After the meeting ended, Dupont directly left Duke Smollett behind and handed the order form in his hands directly to the King.

“Duke Dupont, what’s the purpose of giving me this form?”

Duke Dupont immediately explained, “This form was directly changed by someone using a magic pen to change the date!”

“It was originally a 30-day completion date, but because of the magic pen, it was changed to 15 days!”

After looking at the stamp below, he realized that it was actually from the Smollett family. He immediately had a headache.

This was obviously not Duke Smollett’s handwriting. It was most likely because of his son.

Seeing that the King was staring at him, Duke Smollett was a little puzzled. “I have never placed an order with any workshop!”

“And there are many craftsmen in my territory.. It’s impossible for them to place an order in Duke Dupont’s territory!”

So the King immediately waved at him. Smollett immediately walked up and looked at the form in the King’s hand.

After seeing the seal of his family, his body began to shake unnaturally, because the words on it were the notes of his stupid son.

Thus, Duke Smollett immediately knelt down on one knee. “May the King allow me to go back and properly investigate this matter!”

“I will definitely bring the culprit here to receive a trial!”

The King originally wanted to quietly resolve this matter peacefully, but after hearing what he said, his head instantly hurt.

“You! Forget it, forget it. We’ll talk about this matter tomorrow. You go back and investigate it first!”

After Duke Smollett left, the King immediately said to Duke Dupont, “There shouldn’t be any problem to settle this matter tomorrow, right?”

Duke Dupont immediately smiled and said, “We can discuss this matter slowly!”

“I have an important matter to ask the King to help me with!”

Upon hearing Duke Dupont’s request, Duke Smollett’s matter would soon be settled.

“Duke Dupont, tell me! This King will try his best to satisfy you.”

“The thing is…”

Duke Dupont knew that his daughter had fallen in love with an ordinary man, so he conducted an investigation and found that this man seemed to have a lot of magic talent.

Moreover, this man was an adopted son of his own branch, so Duke Dupont decided to ask the King for a recommendation letter from the Imperial Academy of Magic.

Why must it be a recommendation letter from the King?! Because even if it was a recommendation letter from the Duke, the principal of the Imperial Academy of Magic would not care about him. He would directly place the person who was recommended in any class.

In order for Rollin to quickly become a talent, Dupont started to fight for a chance for Rollin’s future after he received Duke Smollett’s letter.

After hearing Duke Dupont’s words, the King immediately became interested in Rollin.

This was not the first time he had heard Rollin’s name. The last time, he was the Elven Empress. This time, he was appreciated by Duke Dupont and he even intended to marry his daughter to this man.

“Alright! I’ll consider this matter. At this time tomorrow, I’ll give you a perfect answer!”

After Duke Dupont left, the King called over the Empire’s Dark Blade and asked them to investigate everything that had happened to Rollin.

Rollin, who had stirred up huge waves, was still working hard on May!

After Duke Smollett returned home, he immediately found his foolish son.

When he found that he was sleeping in his room, he immediately took out a vine from the room and lashed it at Jay who was sleeping on the bed.

Jay, who had just received the pain, opened his eyes in shock and found that his father was standing beside his bed in anger, holding the rattan in his hand.

“Father! What’s going on? I haven’t made any mistakes recently!”

Duke Smollet immediately took out the form and showed it to his stupid son.

When he saw the form, he immediately knelt down. “Father, please listen to my explanation!”

The old butler was waiting outside the door for medicine to treat his injuries. Waves of cries and howls came from inside the room.

It was not until an hour later that Duke Smollett walked out of the room.

He glanced at the butler who was waiting by the side and instructed, “He is not allowed to eat tonight!”

“Let that pig brain of his wake up properly!”

The old butler immediately bent down and bowed to him.

His anger had also subsided. Duke Smollett immediately tore the form in his hands into pieces.

“Forget it, forget it. Fortunately, Duke Dupont’s intentions are not in the wine. Just be more careful next time!”

Rubbing his temples, he wrote an apology letter on the table and then asked someone to send this letter and a bag of gold coins to the workshop.

At night, the Empire’s Dark Blade was very efficient. In the middle of the night, they had already piled up all of Rollin’s information on the King’s table.

After looking at the form in his hands, he could not help but click his tongue in surprise. Rollin’s experience was really interesting.

From the slums to the commoner district, he had a very bumpy experience. Moreover, Rollin was a person without a surname.

After that, he immediately understood Duke Dupont’s meaning. He wanted him, Rollin, to compete for the position of Duke of the Empire!

This was because Melville had set up a strange tradition from a very long time ago!

Other than the title of Duke that was passed down or those who made great contributions to the Empire, the rest could only be obtained by those who did not have a surname!

After knowing Duke Dupont’s intentions, the King laughed out loud. “I’d like to see just how powerful this kid is! He’s able to attract a Duke and the Elven Empress.”

After saying that, he took out a special letter and wrote a recommendation letter on it. After that, he used a special magic tool to send the letter directly to the Imperial Academy of Magic.

The next evening, Duke Smollett and Duke Dupont stayed behind.

Duke Smollett immediately verbally apologized to Duke Dupont on behalf of his son, but Duke Dupont ignored him.

So, the King called Duke Dupont to his side and whispered, “The recommendation letter was sent to you yesterday. You only need to let Rollin stay at home quietly for a few days and you’ll be able to get the admission letter to the Imperial Academy of Magic.”

Upon hearing this, Duke Dupont immediately knelt down on one knee and thanked the King. Then, he walked down the stage with a smile on his face and forgave Duke Smollett’s son for his mistake.

“This is a matter between children. Rollin, this child, will be my son-in-law from now on. Please treat him more!”

“If he has offended you in any way, please bear with him more!”

After the mediation ended, Duke Smollett complained in the carriage, “Your son-in-law doesn’t need me to bear with him!”

“I asked your daughter to marry my son, but she didn’t agree. Instead, she found a man from the slums.”

As soon as he mentioned the slums, he remembered something…
