6 – {Duke of Skyroad} 2
{Duke of Skylord}
At the words of the Duke of Skyroad, Theodore smiled and said,
“What would you do if you found out? Those people? I am Theodore Skylord, Duke of Skylord.”
“Yes, that’s true. You are my son and heir. But they’ll be bothered if they even recognize you.”
“That’s right. Since doubts are circulating as to whether William is the Chosen One, we’ll need an alternative to use as propaganda.”
Theodore laughed coldly.
Although he was known as the chosen one, William’s behavior was also famous in the Arkan Empire.
It was admired as the chosen one because of the telekinesis he showed since childhood, but in fact, there was no clear evidence that he was the chosen one, and opinions that the special ability mentioned in the prophecy could not have been just telekinesis were circulating little by little.
It all started with the suspicion that such a scumbag couldn’t have been chosen because of William’s bad behavior.
“The Britannia Empire has been acting arrogantly by claiming to be the Chosen One, but we, the Arkhan Empire, know the truth anyway, don’t we?”
“Hu, yes. Right.”
The Duke of Skyroad knew the truth about Theodore’s chosen one. And he knew not only him, but also the imperial family of Arkhan Empire.
That’s why he was able to laugh at the arrogance of the Britannian Empire inwardly.
“I think it’s okay to reveal the hidden dagger. After all, a being so dazzlingly brilliant cannot hide its light even among the clouds.”
Theodore smiled with his arms crossed.
“Are you thinking of revealing yourself?”
At Skyroad Duke’s question, Theodore shook his head slightly.
“I won’t reveal it first. But even if I don’t, a brilliant human like me will eventually be revealed.”
Theodore added, saying that even if he did not reveal his true identity, his true identity would eventually be revealed.
“Anyway, I already shine the name of the Duke of Skyroad more brilliantly than anyone else. It’s no problem if I radiate that light even stronger.”
The Duke of Skyroad still couldn’t hide his worried expression at Theodore’s confident remark, but he nodded his head and said.
“I’m still concerned as a father…But you’ll take care of yourself. Don’t trust me.”
“Yes, you can expect to raise the name of the Duke of Skyroad even higher.”
“Yes…please know that I will always believe in you.”
“Of course I know.”
Theodore showed an attitude as if he was saying something obvious, and the Duke of Skyroad laughed at his attitude.
“Anyway, the psychology of a parent with a proud son is very complicated.”
“Being a good parent means having a proud son. Unlike anyone else.”
Knowing that Theodore’s remarks were to promote himself as a good parent, the Duke of Skyroad simply laughed.
“Then I will visit my mother for a while. Father.”
“Yes.”
The Duke of Skylord murmured bitterly as he watched Theodore leave the room after greeting him.
“Even if you say that, he’s a guy with a soft side.”
The Duke of Skyroad still vividly remembered Theodore that day. At the time of his first meeting, unlike now, he could not find the reason for his existence, and the appearance of a young boy stained with despair, sadness, resentment and hatred had aroused an unknown impulse in him.
And the Duchess of Skyroad, seeing Theodore like that, must have felt an unknown impulse and accepted him as her family and adopted him as her adopted son.
‘Whoa, I can’t forget the face at that time.’
How the hell could his real parents treat his real son like that, he couldn’t understand as a parent with two kids now.
As I was raising a son and daughter named Theodore and Judith one by one, I felt that the Duke of Skyroad was living for the fun of watching his children. .
“I’m looking forward to the lunch your son makes.”
And as he thought about it, the Duke of Skyroad began to feel hungry little by little, looking forward to lunch prepared by his handsome son.

A restaurant where the families of the Duke of Skyroad gather.
Here, Judith ate the Country Fried Steak served for lunch today, slowly savoring the taste.
“Delicious!”
This taste was exactly what he was expecting!
Judith thought so and enjoyed the lunch prepared by her brother.
“Do you like it, Judy?”
“Yeah! As expected, older brother’s doing it is the best!”
Theodore smiled slightly to see if he was satisfied with Judith’s reaction as she spoke with a wide smile.
“Hmm, this is the taste.”
The Duke of Skyroad also enjoyed the taste of the Condrie Fried Steak with a satisfied smile.
It was fried at the right temperature, but the combination of the sauce was also excellent.
“Really. The food cooked by Theo is always delicious. Can we look forward to tomorrow too?”
The Duchess of Skylord, a beautiful woman with blue hair and blue eyes, sliced the meat elegantly with a knife and tasted her.
Theodore smiled happily at the sight of his family eating so deliciously.
“Of course. And cooking is heart. Cooking with heart for the family is the secret to true taste.”
In front of Theodore, there was a country fried steak he had made himself, and he too tasted it by cutting it himself with a knife.
“Tomorrow, I will prepare a dish with such care, so the mother just needs to trust and expect her excellent son’s skills.”
“Yeah! Anyway, it’s a pity. When Theo goes to study abroad in the Britannia Empire, I can’t even see Theo’s face for a while. It makes my mother feel really, really sad.”
Judith agreed with the words of the Duchess of Skyroad, who spoke as if she was slightly complaining.
“That’s right. When oppa leaves, I think I’ll miss all of his cooking and the time I spent hanging out with him.”
Theodore said while laughing at the words of the two.
“I can’t help the problem of going back with Princess Yuria. Even if it doesn’t taste as good as the one I make myself, I’ve already written down all the recipes, so about 50% of the cooking problems will come out. And, Jung Why don’t you come visit me with Judy?”
“Okay. Shall we go and see how well our son is doing?”
“Yes, with my dazzling and brilliant talent, I will clearly engrave in the Britannia Empire how great the name of the Arkhan Empire and the Duke of Skyroad is, so you will see more than you expect.”
Judith smiled at Theodore’s confident statement.
It sounds like you’re bragging like that, but Judith was happy to hear her brother’s remarks.
Theodore’s words may sound arrogant, but surprisingly, he was never wrong.
With his truly overwhelming talent, he was simultaneously occupying top positions in several departments at the academy, and maintaining an overwhelming gap with the second positions.
And besides that, his multi-talented abilities were something he was proud of as his younger sister.
‘I love that such a great person is my brother.’
She shrugged her shoulders when the girls from other noble families came to her and begged if she could get her brother’s autograph. In fact, now that Theodore was there, the status of the Duke of Skyroad rivaled or surpassed that of the Dukes of Arsene and the Dukes of Lurrain combined.
She had also heard the story that the Duke of Skyroad admired him because he had excellent performance in all areas he was involved in and was good at grasping the flow of his money.
“Go to the Britannia Empire and talk to me anytime if you have any difficulties.”
When the Duchess of Skyroad asked if she was worried about her son going to study abroad, Theodore nodded her head.
“I’ll contact you if that happens. But don’t worry. As you already know, I’m special.”
“Yes, you are special. But please know that it also worries you.”
“Yes, I understand. I already know that the place is full of cunning mites trying to take advantage of the special, and dirty parasites trying to get hold of the special.”
Judith was somewhat aware of the stories going on among her family. However, she never told her friends about it.
It was a special secret that only the imperial family and the Duke of Skyroad knew about.
“Oh, oppa. Come to think of it, I’m going with YuRia unnie. Is there any love story?”
Judith asked with her inquisitive gaze, her eyes twinkling. Theodore smiled sweetly.
“Judy is old enough to be interested in that.”
In this way, the four members of the Duke of Skyroad spent time together with a harmonious smile.
