Glorious Dawn - Dawn's Endeavor ,in the imperial palace.

"Father, you must believe me!" This matter has absolutely nothing to do with me!" In the royal palace, Henry Blackwood looked at the angry king and loudly defended himself for his act of beating his younger brother Oliver Blackwood today.

"Humph!" Seeing that his son still refused to admit it, Ethan Blackwood immediately picked up a scepter from the side, which was about as thick as three fingers of an adult. Holding it in his hand, he began to question on the spot, "Did you use this to frighten your younger brother! You little brat! I think you're getting bolder and bolder, huh?!" As King Ethan Blackwood spoke, he flicked his wrist and threw the wooden stick in front of Henry Blackwood.

With a "clang", that was the sound of the scepter hitting the floor.

With a "thud", that was the sound of Henry Blackwood's heart sinking as he felt something was terribly wrong.

"Father..." The usually lively and outgoing Second Prince silently picked up the scepter upon hearing those words, obediently put it back on the table, and then looked at King Ethan Blackwood with a sad expression and said, "I'm your son. Do you doubt me to such an extent?"

——"Oh God... He really didn't lay a hand on him this time... Well, mainly because he didn't have the chance." Looking at his son who was still putting on an act in front of him, Ethan Blackwood took a deep breath. Suddenly, he realized that he seemed to have heard these words somewhere before.

Back then, in order to prevent himself and his elder brother from fighting to the death, his father, Alexander Blackwood, had proposed that he go on an inspection tour of various countries. And he seemed to have replied to his father in exactly the same way.

Hmm... This little brat has learned it well...

"You rascal!" King Ethan Blackwood glared fiercely at his son. He put on a fierce look and said angrily, "Go and apologize to your younger brother! You've scared him so much that he's fallen ill!"

Poor Leo Blackwood, the child trembles whenever he sees him now. One can imagine how much he suffered at the hands of this son before.——"Oh God... He really didn't lay a hand on him this time...

"Father, I don't mean to criticize you, but we're all born and raised by our parents. He, Leo Blackwood, dared to order the servants to dive into the nearly - frozen lake in winter to retrieve the little ball he had carelessly thrown in. I just wanted him to experience it himself. So, why is it that I'm the one at fault?" Henry Blackwood crossed his arms over his chest and simply dropped the act. He looked at his father, whose face was full of shame, with an arrogant expression and blatant defiance. To be honest... He wasn't out of his mind, so naturally, he had no intention of pursuing equality for everyone in this feudal - dynasty era. But his stupid little brother made such a big fuss over such a trifle and kept tormenting the servants like this. If this went on... In the future, this hapless brother might end up with the same fate as a certain "deposed king"... Alas... Who could understand the bitterness in his heart as the second - eldest son... "You..." King Ethan Blackwood was about to raise his hand upon hearing this when he saw that the little brat had already nimbly retreated to the door. King Ethan Blackwood pursed his lips at the sight and then said slowly, "Son, it's a good thing that you have such a kind heart, but..."

"The servants are also born to their parents and they are human beings. Only if you are kind to them will they listen to you." Facing his father's opening remarks for a lecture, Henry Blackwood directly interrupted his father loudly. He looked at his father, full of anger, and asked, "Father, who said that?"

Hearing this, King Ethan Blackwood couldn't help but blush with embarrassment. It was his own words.

Now, they were being used by this brat to fight back.

Ethan Blackwood felt that, all of a sudden, for no reason at all... he really wanted to kick someone!

"—Besides," as an "obedient and sensible" son, Henry Blackwood naturally wouldn't make Ethan Blackwood feel completely ashamed. Although his father's complexion was already extremely bad at this moment, he calmly defended himself and said, "I just used the scepter to scare him a little. Before he even got into the water, he wet his pants. And you said he was sick? Humph! Getting sick because his pants were soaked by his own urine? There's never been such a person recorded in books!"

"Get out! Get out of here quickly!" King Ethan Blackwood said angrily. Henry, no longer being provocative, said "right away" and ran out immediately. "I just can't figure it out. I really can't understand it at all. How obedient and sensible Henry was when he was little, but now..."

In the end, King Ethan Blackwood could only attribute all of this to the fact that when he was away on military campaigns, he left young Henry in the southern palace and entrusted him to his mother's care. Perhaps it was because his mother loved this son too much and disciplined him too little that he had developed such a character now... Alas... It was truly hard to put into words.

King Ethan Blackwood, filled with emotion, suddenly became extremely sad when he thought of his mother.

Regarding the matters between himself, his eldest brother and his fourth brother... He didn't know whether his mother, if she knew about these things in the afterlife, would resent and blame him... Thinking of this, King Ethan Blackwood stood in the middle of the main hall, looking at the scene around him, and remained silent for a long time.
