Then on page three a line purportedly attributed to Aurelius was discovered.

‘Aldia is the royal surname of the empire. Except for the emperor, prince, and emperor’s grandson, the surname can be matched with the surname of the three generations. The other surnames will be changed to other surnames. Non-original people and impostors will be severely punished. ’

This sentence made Gudern completely confused.

According to historical circumstances, under the arrangements of the first emperor, the surname Aldia was not allowed to be used by anyone except the royal family.

Those who are discovered will be killed directly. No one will pretend to be someone else in this kind of thing.

So what's going on with his last name displayed on the system panel now?

Could it be that there is something wrong with the system?

Thinking of this, Gudern couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

His predecessor did come from the royal capital, but judging from his memory, he spent more than ten years of his life in a courtyard.

Study, play, and live in one place and never leave this place.

Later, when he was about to reach adulthood, he received a message from his father, whom he had never met before, asking him to go to Qingyuan Town to serve as the lord.

Then, under the impression of the outside world, I began to be obsessed with this colorful world...

It is precisely because he has little contact with outsiders that he is unprepared for the warm ‘reception’ of the Charlieson family.

Nearly four years have passed, and most of the people around me have been infiltrated, and various traps have been set up behind my back. I have even been directly attacked and tried to silence them...

At the same time, among these memories, Gooden also discovered that his predecessor had never used his last name, and no one had mentioned it.

The same goes for old Joseph. His title is always given only by his first name but not his surname.

Is it possible that my identity is still the illegitimate son of a certain existing royal family?

After all, in addition to the emperor, the princes and the emperor's grandsons all have the power to bear the surname Aldia, and there is no power after that.

Thinking of this, Gudern also showed a trace of weirdness on his face. Old Joseph must have known about his life experience, and had asked him before if he could ask for help from his family.

Old Joseph gave him a direct negative answer, which made Gooden still confused.

If we look at it now, it all makes sense.

but……

Gooden suddenly remembered something. After he traveled to another world, he seemed to have given his last name to Anna and Moss when he went out for the first time to introduce him.

At that time, the two of them were wearing robes, and their faces under the hoods could not be seen at all.

But as the next heir, the Queen and the legendary Divine Light Warlock, it is impossible for them not to know the meaning of this surname.

Thinking of this, Gudern couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment on his face.

With their identities, they could have exposed him on the spot, but they didn't and instead accepted his invitation.

And in subsequent contacts, Old Joseph also discovered Anna's identity and treated her with corresponding etiquette and respect.

Rubbing his cheeks, Gudern felt a little lucky. Fortunately, it was only once that he said his last name.

Otherwise, he would say his name is Aldia when meeting people, so he could be considered a long-lived person.

Turning his attention back to the book, Gudern had no intention of continuing to flip through it, and then used magic transmission to summon Old Joseph.

After a while, Old Joseph opened the study door.

"Master, when do you have any orders?"

Looking at the old Joseph who had been rejuvenated by the entry modification, Gooden pondered for a while and asked.

"Old Joseph, how much do you know about your family?"

The family here naturally refers to his ‘royal family’.

Facing the young master's inquiry, Old Joseph didn't show much expression on his face and just answered according to the prepared words.

"The family does business in the royal capital, but the specific business transactions are arranged by the master, and I know very little about it."

Naturally, Gooden didn't believe this statement, so he continued to ask.

"What's the family name? I didn't pay attention to this before. Now that Qingyuan Town has developed, it's time to improve the family's reputation."

Faced with this question, Old Joseph was stunned for a moment, and then immediately continued.

"Master, your surname is a bit complicated. It's best not to use the family's name here. It doesn't hurt to tell you now. The family surname is: Kevolio."

Hearing this, Gudern was stunned for a moment, Kevolio?

Why is this different from what appears on the system?

But then I thought about it, if Old Joseph really knew about it, he probably wouldn't tell him his real name directly, but would give him a traceable surname.

Thinking of this, Gooden hesitated slightly. Since the other party wanted to hide it, there must be some reason for it.

And if I pursue it to the end, I'm afraid I may not be able to get the answer I want. After all, I don't have substantive evidence in my hand now.

He is just curious about his hidden identity and as for actually going to recognize his relatives, he will not go.

The predecessor lived alone in a courtyard for more than ten years, and there was no mention of family members coming to see him.

There is no such thing as family affection at all. If there is a relationship, it is only a blood connection.

Thinking of this, Gooden decided to try again. If Old Joseph still didn't reveal any information, then forget about it.

"Do you remember Anna and Moss who saved us before?"

"Miss Anna and Mr. Moss? Do you remember them?" Old Joseph nodded. He had not forgotten these two people.

"When we were chatting before, Anna said that I looked like a certain son of Aldia. I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now I realize that I am from the royal family."

As soon as these words came out, Old Joseph's face moved slightly, but Gudern continued.

"Anna's identity as a saint... I already know it. I was worried just now that I was really a royal family."

Having said this, Gudern paused, and then said with a slightly relaxed tone.

"If I were really a royal family, even if I am now retiring in such a remote border area, it would probably be difficult if my talent and strength were exposed."

But it sounded very heavy to Old Joseph's ears. After the change in the young master's personality, he more or less figured out some clues.

He would definitely not say such nonsense to himself for no reason. After thinking about the previous inquiry and looking at the young master's slightly familiar face, Old Joseph lowered his head and thought for a while before slowly telling the truth.

"Master, in fact... you are indeed from the royal family. The family name you mentioned before is just a cover."

After hearing Old Joseph's identity, Gudern did not show much surprise on his face.

"The truth I'm telling you now actually doesn't matter, and the problem you're worried about is actually very unlikely to happen."

"To be able to meet the conditions for competing for the throne, in addition to being a member of the royal family, you must also have a legendary appearance."

The founding emperor of Oriles had already reached legend status during the war, and it was normal for his lifespan to increase to four to five hundred years.

And he reigned for a full 170 years, and endured the death of eight princes before selecting one from his grandson who was qualified to break through the legend to inherit the throne.

In the next six hundred years, except for the eighth generation who has only been in office for less than 30 years, each of the previous six served for nearly a hundred years before selecting a new emperor to succeed, and the criteria for taking office were legendary.

Gudern also roughly understood this when he briefly read through history books.

"Although you have a royal surname, you don't have any title... To put it bluntly, you are an illegitimate child. I'm sorry, young master, I didn't mean to offend you."

"It doesn't matter." Gudern didn't feel anything about this fact and motioned for Old Joseph to continue.

"Ahem, in addition to the necessary talents as a candidate for the throne, you must also have a substantial reputation..."

Hearing this, Gudern understood, and a trace of relief appeared on his face.

He wouldn't fight for something like the throne. Being a lord doesn't mean you need to be an emperor to be comfortable?

Although it is definitely not as powerful as it is, it is better than ease!

He was so tired from setting up Qingyuan Town that he had no interest in finding a throne or anything like that. But now that he didn't have the possibility to participate in the fight for the throne, he felt a lot more relaxed...

Chapter 118 The prince died in battle and the war broke out

Becoming emperor and holding power is every man's dream.

Even Gudern had fantasized about becoming the emperor of a country before.

But that's just an idea. After becoming an emperor, in addition to having supreme power, he also has to accept endless government affairs.

At the same time, he will be restricted by various rules and regulations, and it is impossible to be as relaxed as he is now a border lord.

You even have to train your subordinate officials step by step. If you don't have some scheming and strength, you will soon be ignored by ambitious ministers.

Compared with the troubles caused by being the emperor of a country, being a border lord is very easy.

At least within his territory, he could do whatever he wanted.

Old Joseph lowered his head slightly and observed the relief on the young master's face with his peripheral vision, and murmured in his heart for a while.

Originally, he was worried that the royal blood would affect the young master, but now it seems that it has helped relieve the young master's pressure?

The matter of the young master's bloodline has been well hidden. Originally, he thought that he would never mention it again, but he might mention it before he died of natural causes.

But now it seems...

Looking at old Joseph who fell silent, Gudern continued to ask while the other party was now willing to tell him secrets.

"Speaking of which, since I can have a royal surname, which lineage does my father come from? A prince? Or a prince?"

Regarding the young master's question, Old Joseph was silent for a while, debating whether to tell the truth or not.

But thinking that he has talked about it now, telling all the secrets of his life experience can be regarded as relieving the young master's heart.

Then Old Joseph shook his head and said seriously.

"None of them...your father, the master, is now the eighth emperor of the empire, His Majesty Olek Aldea."

"Clam?!"

Gudern was stunned when he heard that he was a cheap biological father.

It's not really that bloody, is it?

"So...if I have an identity, would I be a prince?"

Old Joseph nodded.

After Gudern received this confirmed news, his face looked a little strange.
