Dear Broom Knight

Cheska quickly felt the feather pendant near her ear grow slightly warm.

Lorrie's instructions were clear and concise: the main target isn't aimed at us, try to avoid getting dragged in, stay away from Alex, Night and Earth might be fishing.

Lorrie thought it over for a long time and still felt that Ian's behavior was a bit off.

He estimated that the high-level Dark Moon underestimated him.

After all, Lorrie had just passed his 16th birthday, which had quietly passed due to various circumstances.

Apart from his mother, Yagris, who rushed over overnight, and his teacher, Arsalan, plus those close subordinates in the territory, Lorrie didn't invite anyone to his coming-of-age banquet.

He, who had always followed the rules of the nobility, chose to be willful for once on the day he became an adult again.

After all, the previous time, although the time was slightly later at 18 years old, the result was an exchange called adulthood, but in essence, it was an abandonment that broke his heart.

Even though Lorrie knew from a young age that one day he would be kicked out of this family, he never expected it to be so soon.

Not even allowing him to deceive himself in the ivory tower until the very last day.

But what could he say?

The art school's expensive tuition and the not-so-low living expenses each month had already been transferred to his bank card in advance.

Lorrie, who had been managing himself for a year in his sophomore year, couldn't possibly say that he didn't know how to live, whether he could live... because he knew his final outcome, he diligently managed his life, so that his college life didn't encounter various setbacks due to the ignorance of the first year, but the final result became an excuse for his parents to abandon him as a matter of course.

Because that year, his eldest brother was preparing to get married and have children, and his parents believed that their energy was limited and they could only choose to let Lorrie, who already had self-care ability, live the life that adults should live.

You see, they actually knew very well that throwing an 18-year-old child into society like that was not something that should be done.

But in the eyes of his parents, and that elder brother, you've been raised so big, and the expensive tuition has already been paid for you, and you don't need to make many contributions to the family... what are you still fussing about?

Lorrie indeed didn't argue with them, and quietly left home the next day.

From then on, when he entered that place that could only be called a 'house' again, he could only be a guest visiting with gifts, even if they were his biological parents.

Therefore, Lorrie was really adapted to the noble rules of the fantasy world.

But he really, really cherished his dear mother who put him first.

This time on his coming-of-age day, Lorrie just wanted to spend it in the company of his mother, with the blessings of people he recognized.

Instead of holding a grand celebration full of hypocrisy.

If he hadn't become a mage, Lorrie estimated that he wouldn't have dared to be so willful.

But he was.

Mages, even if they become lords, don't need to be as resourceful as other noble lords.

Of course, they can do that if they want to.

But Lorrie hadn't seen any archmages who would do things that would affect their future.

He was only a Third Circle mage, and he had to spend most of his time in the study and alchemy lab every month!

Having time to read more books is what a mage would think.

Lorrie had always had doubts about his IQ, but he had never doubted his personality... in terms of lifestyle alone, he was a standard mage.

Therefore, he naturally demanded himself to be a future archmage.

His abilities were not enough for the time being, but he could learn the temper first.

In any case, in the northern border, no one could point fingers at him for his inappropriateness.

Except for Madam Yagris.

But this lady with the highest status in the Northern Territory would never stop Lorrie's behavior for reasonable... as long as it was justifiable... reasons.

Therefore, Lorrie, who officially became the Lord of Gezar and the Commander of the Living Feather Knights on this day, finally satisfied the crying self hidden in his heart and had a satisfactory coming-of-age ceremony surrounded by love.

However, Lorrie felt that this matter would at most make them a little busier, but not too troublesome.

After all, although the person in charge of managing the audit magic array was unknown, and someone would indeed take revenge for personal grudges at certain times, these guys who were definitely secret members of the royal family wouldn't mess with things related to Lorrie, and if they let the audit magic array's relatively mechanical logic ask questions automatically, the Noble Affairs Office's eight years of preparation would be enough.

However, this matter would inevitably make everyone believe that the relationship between Lorrie and the White Dragon King was very close.

But did Lorrie still need to care about this?

His respected teacher, Arsalan, was one of the true core members of the royal family.

And the reason why Lorrie felt that the overly secretive exchange that took place in the castle restaurant was not a real accident, but an enticing behavior made by the Dark Moon named Ian because she underestimated him, also had a lot to do with Arsalan.

Ian and Suriani's conversation sounded very mysterious, and they also carefully put an isolation ring around their table.

But, who would say truly secretive things in someone else's territory?

Using magic sometimes can't prevent the floor under your feet and the table under your hands from hiding some small things that can leave sound.

If it were a young boy like Taylor, he might think that magic could solve all problems, but Ian and Suriani were high-level Dark Moons!

No matter how careless they were, they couldn't really say things they shouldn't say outside.

To tell a joke, they didn't even say a word out of line in the hotel where their own people had made layers of protection.

As a result, they actually did this while eating.

Regardless of whether they saw through Cheska's tricks, these two unhesitatingly used them.

Lorrie even suspected that their sudden act of raising the isolation magic array was to attract the attention of certain eyes that must exist in the castle restaurant.

If their accidental entry was really an accident, then their conversation might have some 'unexpected surprise'.

If it wasn't an accident, wouldn't that be even better?

Why not use the opportunity that others offer?

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

The most fundamental reason why Lorrie dared to be so sure was that he had read almost all of the royal family's hidden books over the years.

In addition to learning magic every day, especially after reading the headache-inducing magic skill books, reading those historical books and royal biographies and scrolls that Lorrie used to find obscure and difficult was a kind of rest.

Well... although he always refused to admit that his IQ had doubled several times after reincarnation, he had actually silently admitted this point.

The former him was not the kind of child who didn't study hard.

After all, he knew very well that his fate was really determined by how far he could study and whether he could go to college.

But if it was said that he could rely on diligence and hard work to enter a decent high school in junior high school, he couldn't expect to go to college.

Math and science had to pass, right?

Speaking of which, the only thing he had learned well since he was a child was geometry.

Algebra was simply his nightmare.

No one could understand how panicked Lorrie felt when he only got 45 points on a 150-point algebra test.

At that time, he really felt that he was doomed.

His family just didn't value their other sons, not that they really didn't have money, but they couldn't provide all their sons with the same treatment as the eldest... a fully paid house in the inner ring of a first-tier city, and a car worth hundreds of thousands, the old couple couldn't come up with a second one.

But giving up didn't mean that they would be mean to their other children.

Therefore, Lorrie had lived pretty well since he was a child, and he really hadn't suffered any hardships other than studying.

Lorrie didn't think that he, who was physically lazy, didn't know the five grains, and was obviously a bit autistic, could endure the hardships of working.

If he were a carefree child, he might not be so painful.

Many children with the same identity as Lorrie could leave home very freely and never look back.

Unlike Lorrie, who was sensitive and twisted, even if he could understand everything, he couldn't help but think about it repeatedly.

Why was he the one who wasn't loved?

Probably, this repeated unwillingness had permeated Lorrie's soul ever since he and his elder brother made the same request but one was satisfied and the other was reprimanded.

Fortunately, painting saved his life and let him know that God had left him a window.

This was also the reason why Lorrie didn't completely leave the painting career like some classmates, even though he knew that his talent was not good.

That was the only time in his life that he felt something that belonged only to him, although not much.

Lorrie lived such a twisted life.

Therefore, even after becoming Lorrie Montes, he was still so twisted.

During the period when he was unexpectedly hit by becoming a mage, Lorrie picked up a book to prevent himself from saying something he shouldn't say.

Just like Madam Yagris said, the former Lorrie read books like flipping through them, as if he had learned a lot, but in essence, he didn't know anything.

It was impossible for him to be associated with the profession of a scholar.

He only wanted to record those books in the virtual castle's library, but he had never read them carefully.
