The author has something to say: Please take a look, reviewers: the father-son relationship in the article is similar to role-playing. It is not a foster father and son, nor a real father and son. There is no blood relationship, nor legal and ethical relationship. It is consensual and there is no oppression.

Any relationship that does not conform to the law and ethics is sinful, wrong, and needs to be criticized.

All the characters in the article are non-human and have already reached adulthood.

Muah!

When the old butler in a trance led people to close the gate of the manor, Su Yun thought, thank God, the banquet is finally over.

When Su Yun came back from seeing Alice in the baby room, only the Syracuse family members were left in the banquet hall. Anita also changed into formal clothes and reappeared, but it was a pity that she appeared at the wrong time.

Su Yun picked up Jasmine who was slumped in the chair, and then sat down in this position: "Isis... why are you doing this?"

The sunny and handsome boy was rolling up his sleeves, revealing his masculine figure. I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence this time.”

"After graduation, I plan to explore the most inaccessible places in the world, such as ice fields, deep seas or mountains. Marriage is not convenient. I will not take another person with me everywhere, nor will I stay in one place for too long."

It's as if there's any place in this world you little plagues haven't been to, and is it that hard to have a god-servant wife?!

Isis's excuse as an adventurer was just an excuse. Su Yun was helpless: "Since you don't want to marry... forget it."

Anita: "Father, I can do it. If the family needs a marriage contract, just give it to me."

Su Yun: "I'm sorry, Anita, no noble lady who is well-matched with you would be willing to marry you."

Especially since you did something like this today.

Anita blinked. "Really? That's a pity. I can only rely on you then."

"No, I, as your 'father', will probably start to expel you after today. After all, you are the head of a large family." Su Yun covered his forehead, "It seems that our family can only rely on Jasmine... Let's wait and see when Jasmine grows up."

Jasmine put his arms around Su Yun's neck, his smoky grey eyes narrowed slightly, and he rubbed Su Yun's face: "Yes, my God, leave it to me from now on."

The old king passed away due to illness, and the whole country mourned. The eldest princess had already ascended the throne and became the new queen.

King, the church crowned the princess.

When Su Yun received the bad news, he was trimming the flowers in the garden, and Alice was holding a rose seedling beside him.

Five years have passed, and Alice has grown from a baby into a six or seven-year-old child. Her face is more delicate than that of a girl, and her blonde hair and blue eyes make her look like an angel in mythology. Perhaps because she was too restrained during her infancy, ever since Alice gained the ability to move freely, her favorite thing to do is to stick to Su Yun... except on nights when she can't compete with Flora.

To outsiders, it seemed that Su Yun loved his youngest son the most.

"The king passed away?" Alice handed the small flower pot to Su Yun, "Looks like we have to go to the funeral again."

Su Yun loaded the seedlings into the pit: "Yes, let your brothers prepare as well."

Over the past few years, Flora still stayed in the country across the sea. After graduating from college, he did not stop his studies. He chose to continue his studies and was able to return home often. Isis stopped her studies after graduating from college and began to travel around the world to fulfill her promise.

Anita still went her own way and, as expected, became a hippie; Jasmine was finally old enough to go to public school, and was sent to a closed academy with tears in her eyes not long ago; Theresa, the second-to-last child, also grew up to be a big child, and apart from the family's estate, the place she went most often was the church.

The king's funeral was a very important event, and it should have required the participation of the entire Syracuse family. However, Anita was almost an invisible person in the family and had a bad reputation, so he would most likely not go.

After Su Yun planted all the seedlings, Alice smiled and smeared the mud on her hands on Su Yun's face. Su Yun picked up the tiny Alice. The young Alice was soft and strange, and warm like a kitten.

I don’t know if it’s the influence of age, but Alice is not only clingy and coquettish, but also a little naughty, just like Jasmine is a little willful. Su Yun also indulges these little plagues as always.

They returned to the main house, and the old butler came out from the gate to greet them. The passage of time is always particularly obvious on the elderly and children. The white-haired old butler looked older than he was five years ago. It was rare that he still maintained such an energetic state, perhaps because the past few years were so peaceful.

"Master, the mourning clothes have been prepared. The funeral will be held next Saturday. Several young masters are already on their way back..."

The old butler frowned and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master.

Young Master...is already waiting for you."

Flora is back?

Su Yun was stunned, but Alice followed the rhythm closely. He swung his legs in Su Yun's arms: "Is it the big brother? I have never seen the big brother before. What does the big brother look like?"

Su Yun touched the little ball who was pretending to be so cute: "It's exactly the same as in the photo."

Seeing this, the old housekeeper sighed and said, "...Master, are you willing to see him?"

"...Then let's meet him." Su Yun said to the old housekeeper, "Let everyone leave the reception room. I want to see what he is here for. Go prepare afternoon tea first, and...don't call him 'Young Master' later."

There is no eldest master in the family anymore since Flora came out, but Julia has not been promoted because of this. He is still the second young master. However, all the old servants unanimously omit the "eldest young master" on various occasions.

In this family, the eldest child is as taboo as the fourth child.

Su Yun put Alice down and called the old housekeeper, "Wait a minute, let's take the young master back to his room first. I'll let them meet if necessary."

Alice acted coquettishly and the old housekeeper looked embarrassed, but finally nodded: "Yes, you... don't be angry about... "

Of course Su Yun knew what he was going to say. He smiled and strode into the hall.

Perhaps because the curtains were drawn and the lights were not on, the light in the reception room was exceptionally dim. All colors looked dull due to the lack of light, and only the outlines of metal utensils were particularly conspicuous in the dim light.

A man was sitting facing Su Yun on the sofa in the middle of the reception room. His face and clothes could not be seen clearly because of the light behind him. One could only vaguely see the outline of his crossed legs.

The man's hands were folded on his upper knee. Normally, this posture should be very relaxed, but the man was like a leopard that had found its prey.

Even though they had just met last night, Su Yun inexplicably had the illusion that they were meeting again after a long separation.

There were no servants in the reception room at this time, so Su Yun asked directly: "How long will you stay this time? Or do I have to drive you away?"

Flora laughed softly, her voice a little hoarse: "If I could, of course I would like to stay in this country and never leave again."

"But you are right. You will get furious and chase me away soon."

Su Yun sat down on a chair beside him and said helplessly, "Your storyline is really... But why did you do it this time? Did you set your sights on a man and want to marry him?"

"Of course it's not because of this. I will make sexual orientation no longer a problem. You just need to cooperate with me..." Flora stopped laughing, "But you are right. I do have someone I want to get engaged to."

Su Yun nodded: "Are you a divine servant? What identity did you arrange for?"

Flora stood up and said, "Not a divine servant - why would I marry a puppet? Their scripts can't allow this."

Over the past few years, Su Yun has also seen clearly that in this world, several little plagues are fighting with each other with wits and courage. Each of them wants to force his brothers to get married, while also trying their best to prevent themselves from getting married. He doesn't know what their mentality is, as if being forced to get married is like losing the game.

The first four had already shown their talents, and Su Yun was now waiting for Jasmine's excuse.

"Then what do you think? Have you found true love?" Su Yun was stunned. "Wait a minute, you don't think..."

Flora smiled softly: "Yes, father, I love you, and I want to marry you."

Su Yun had a headache: "You know, this is impossible."

"Why not? Can the rules of the world restrict me?" Flora walked slowly to Su Yun, "My identity as the 'eldest son' is set like this. He has long fallen in love with his adoptive father... just like me."

"So you created this character yourself..." Su Yun was extremely helpless, "No wonder you said I would chase you away. Okay, okay, let's follow the plot."

"Yes." Flora agreed happily. He leaned down and placed his hands on the handles of Su Yun's chair.

Flora was tall to begin with, and at this moment, she seemed to be imprisoning Su Yun in her arms. In addition, with the light behind him, her hunched back made her look like a cheetah pouncing on its prey, which was very oppressive.

Su Yun laughed and patted Flora's cheek: "So what are you going to do?"

Flora held Su Yun's hand and said, "I told you, I will do something... that will make you furious."

After saying that, Flora leaned over and bit Su Yun's lips. In the dim light, their breaths touched. Su Yun looked at the scarlet eyes so close to him and sighed silently in his heart.

Even though he had already rejected Flora's advances, this child always found a way to lower his bottom line little by little. He was pestering him in his own way, filling up the space he vacated every time he stepped back.

Compared with other plagues, Flora is too aggressive, and Su Yun has always been very demanding in treating his creations.

Su Yun vaguely knew that his indulgence would bring terrible consequences, but what about it? Could he be willing to give up this warmth that was enough to drive away all loneliness? Could he not afford the so-called price?

“Bang!”

A sudden noise broke the silence of the reception room. Su Yun pushed Flora away and saw the stunned old butler at the door of the reception room.
