I'm full of rebellion against fate

Catherine came this time to talk to Dongfang He about recognizing him. His beast transformation was a lion-tiger beast and everyone knew at a glance that he was the king's illegitimate son. But now the Jialan Empire already has a prince. If the king recognizes David, it will definitely provoke a fight among other nobles. For this reason, David was first recognized by Catherine as the Duke's son.

Dongfang He felt that he didn't care much about this matter, but he wanted to be with Chang Ningchen and buy the land where the small restaurant was, so he agreed to let Catherine go back with him.

Catherine knew that everything David did revolved around Allen. If Allen was not there, he might not accept his identity even if he was given the throne.

In this way, the news that Duke Wilson had found his only son spread throughout the entire Jialan Empire. The brave and handsome Knight David was actually Duke Wilson's child!

Everyone immediately felt that Knight David's excellence must have come from his Wilson bloodline, and Viscount David's popularity skyrocketed! Coupled with his handsomeness and singleness, young men and women in the capital were completely crazy about him.

At the ball held at the Duke of Wilson's castle that day, a man in gorgeous clothes was elegant and handsome. When he appeared on the second floor, everyone's attention was focused on him.

Dongfang He looked at the men and women in the hall and knew that this was a blind date party that Catherine had organized for him, but he already had someone in his heart! The man reached out and pulled out the man standing next to him.

Chang Ningchen came over after hearing Dongfang He say there was a buffet. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the room, he was pulled over by a group of servants to dress up. Dongfang He, who was dressed particularly flashy today, came over and pulled him to the first floor.

Why are there so many people downstairs?! You don't need to be watched by so many people when you enter the buffet, right?! Can't you just eat secretly?! Chang Ningchen turned around and wanted to run, but the man put an arm around his waist and pulled him back.

Just like that, the two of them walked down the stairs under the watchful eyes of the crowd. Dongfang He announced directly to everyone, he said loudly: "I am honored that you all have come to the ball hosted by Duke Wilson. I also understand the purpose of your coming here. I, David Wilson, want to announce to everyone here that Alan Bright is my lover. I will not fall in love with anyone else except Alan!"

"Huh?! You didn't even discuss this public confession with me?!" Chang Ningchen blushed instantly, then elbowed Dongfang He. "My good brother always betrays him!" But confessing in public is really too embarrassing, okay?!

Dongfang He looked at Chang Ningchen and said to him: "I am serious. Even if you don't love me, I will not change this decision."

The man confessed to Allen using the identity of David, but in fact he just wanted to confess to Chang Ningchen and express his inner love for him.

Chang Ningchen blushed, feeling that he couldn't just let his good brother perform, so he said, "Viscount David, it's my honor to be favored by you. I, Alan Bright, swear to the gods that my love for you will last until death!"

Everyone at the scene was stunned. Many men and women were heartbroken. They had never thought that David, this newly emerged noble, was actually taken. But this did not mean that they were hopeless! Men are all cats who love to steal! Even if they are married, they still have a lot of lovers. These two people would definitely not be able to resist the temptation!

Everyone was stunned for a moment and then they all started applauding. Not all of their eyes were filled with blessings, some were filled with aggression and scrutiny. Many people felt that a more interesting game was coming out!

After finishing his buffet, Chang Ningchen went back to his own small restaurant. He is still the owner of this restaurant, making skewers. Chang Ningchen couldn't help but ask the system: "System, when can I leave this restaurant and eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks with Dongfang He?"

The system was silent for a moment and then said, "You can only get it by spending a little money in the restaurant, unless you can own a larger territory."

From running a restaurant to conquering a city?! Chang Ningchen suddenly felt that making skewers was not so tiring after all.

That night, an uninvited guest came to the restaurant, Ben Bright, Alan's father, Earl Bright. He smiled rarely when he saw Chang Ningchen.

Ben Bright said to Chang Ningchen: "Alan, my child, I forgive your willfulness. Now that your inheritance rights have been restored, come back to the manor with me!"

The man looked at Chang Ningchen with a haughty look. The right to inherit the earldom was something that commoners could never have even if they lived to death! Now that Karl was disabled and unable to make meritorious deeds, no noble was willing to marry him. If he couldn't benefit the family, he would be a waste.

Seeing that Allen had gained the favor of the Duke's son, Ben Bright had to consider winning Allen over again and relying on him to gain benefits for his family. No normal person would give up the right to inherit the earldom!

Chang Ningchen got angry the moment he heard the old man's words. He said, "Lord Bright, please make one thing clear to me. I voluntarily gave up my inheritance rights, you didn't deprive me of them. I find it disgusting to see you using things I don't want to make pies!"

At this moment, the system issued a task: inherit the title of Earl Bright.

"..."

Chang Ningchen felt that there was something wrong with the system. If he completed this task, wouldn't it be a slap in his face?!

The system immediately explained: "Dear! If you don't fight back, how are you going to slap the faces of those who bullied Allen in the past?! And if you complete this mission, won't you own a larger territory?!"

Chang Ningchen immediately felt that this made sense. If I inherited the title of Earl, wouldn't that be an even bigger slap in the face of those people?!

When Ben Bright heard Chang Ningchen's words, he couldn't think of any bargaining chips that could make Allen change his mind. For a moment, the two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

Chang Ningchen stood up, wiped his hands and said, "I haven't been home for a long time. Now that my father is here, I can't let you go back like this."

When Ben Bright heard Chang Ningchen's words, he felt that Chang Ningchen still had him as his father in his heart, and he suddenly felt a little guilty, so the two of them got on the carriage and went back to the manor.

Karl was furious when he heard Allen was back. He started cursing when he saw Chang Ningchen in his wheelchair. If it weren't for him, how could he have broken his leg? !

Chang Ningchen didn't tolerate Karl scolding him. After all, it was this guy who pushed him off the cliff first. Now that he was disabled, could everything between them be written off?!

He looked at Ben Bright with a cold face and said, "Father, this guy scolded me!"

Ben Bright was now trying to restore his father-son relationship with Alan, so he looked at Carl and said, "Carl! Speak politely to your brother! Is he still a Bright family member if he is so uneducated?"

Carl felt very uncomfortable when he heard that Allen didn't even bother to say his name. He didn't expect that his father, who had always favored him, would actually call him uncultured because of Allen, a half-orc!

At this moment, Carl just wanted to bite off Allen's neck! Unfortunately, he could no longer stand up. Angry, he could only ask the servants to push him back to the room, out of sight, out of mind!
