Dear Broom Knight

#150 - Alex suddenly wakes up

Alex was keenly aware that his reaction was off.

How could he have been entangled with Isabella for so long?

The Icefield Prince wouldn't feel embarrassed about exposing his youthful, reckless, foolish, and naive first love.

To be honest, he ultimately chose to completely sever ties with Isabella, and even when she caused a scene by persistently clinging to him, he only followed his mother's instructions and chose to leave the country himself. Alex never felt he had done anything wrong.

The madness of ignorance only hurt his mother, who was racking her brains for his throne... Blinded by emotion, Alex really wanted to give up the Northland Kingdom as his backing and choose to marry Isabella, the eldest daughter of a marquis.

Now, looking back at himself at that time, Alex felt like a complete fool, and indeed, he had no conscience.

He had just barely saved his own life with the help of his mother and the Northland Kingdom behind her, yet he wanted to turn around and jump back into the mud pit that could overwhelm him for a woman.

He hadn't even thought about how his mother had struggled all these years, nor had he thought about his father's hard support.

However, Alex was a sufficiently self-aware and selfish person. He was very good at forgiving himself and could even kindly comfort himself, saying that the foolishness of youth was only natural.

Moreover, after confirming that Isabella was actually the Ice Snow Saintess, he immediately calmed down.

Alex, after all, was a person who had grown up with a formal education. He knew very well that cultists would eventually have their thoughts twisted.

They were willing to give up their self-respect and souls for a moment of enjoyment, a moment of power.

Cultists, especially those in organized systems, lived quite well, but their lives were relatively short.

Gambling with their own lives wasn't even a last resort for them, let alone gambling with other people's lives.

Alex, who had aimed to become king since childhood, dared to argue with his parents because he clearly relied on their love.

But if he sent his parents away because of a love affair, Alex hadn't reached that point yet.

He was indeed selfish, but not a complete waste.

Therefore, Alex didn't feel that his decisive change of heart at the time had wronged Isabella in any way.

How could he feel any guilt towards Isabella?

But... what was wrong with him just now?

Why did he suddenly recall the tenderness and sweetness of his childhood from the bottom of his heart, and even get entangled with Isabella?

If it was true that he was shocked at first by seeing his old lover, who hadn't been changed by the years, after such a long time, and was a little embarrassed in his response, and even accidentally pulled into a one-on-one battle, then with Alex's usual personality, he should have quickly reacted and sent out a distress signal, or simply killed Isabella.

Even if he needed to act to show his loyalty and righteousness, he didn't need to use the Ice Snow Saintess!

The Northland Princess hadn't been married yet!

Alex suddenly trembled and woke up as if he had been doused with a basin of saliva from the Ice Dog King.

Rather than explaining everywhere that he had become brain-dead because he had been hit by a psychedelic spell, he might as well let the key figures take a look at what was happening.

"What!" This time, the Ice Snow Saintess could no longer be so carefree, and dared not stay in place, almost scrambling to a hundred meters away.

A huge gate of light slowly unfolded in the whirlwind.

Then, in Alex's complacent smile, and in Isabella's panicked gaze, there was no movement for a full few minutes.

Just as Isabella was about to lose control and laugh at Alex, a huge figure crashed out of the gate of light.

Behind him were two towering figures.

It was the White Dragon King, and a grand mage wearing luxurious robes.

Their postures were very unrestrained, with calm smiles on their faces.

But Lowry, who was attracted by the commotion here, could tell what had happened at a glance: When Alex opened the summoning, Ruth Kania must have been eating.

In these seemingly short few minutes, the White Dragon King didn't know how much he had paid to get the White Dragon Lady to give up the meat in her mouth and rush into the dimensional gate.

And his dear teacher, Arsalan, was probably the one who was implicated... If he really couldn't convince Ruth Kania, the White Dragon King could only send the court mage as that life-saving straw.

After all, the most important thing for the people who came here, besides strength, was that their identities had to be persuasive enough.

However... Lowry carefully lowered his head and glanced, suddenly recalling some past events.

Over the years, occasionally recalling his childhood, Lowry felt that he was a little... too immoral.

For example, when Ruth Kania was troubled that the White Dragon King always asked her to do serious things when she had other things she wanted to do, he casually said: That requires more money!

What if it's eating and sleeping?

Wouldn't that still require more money?

As long as the money was in place, all the negative emotions that were affected would instantly turn into ashes in the sun and be blown away by the wind without a trace.

Ruth Kania, after that, rarely had quarrels with the White Dragon King because of certain things.

It's just that the White Dragon King's private treasury decreased year by year, while the White Dragon Ruth Kania's dragon's nest became more and more abundant.

However... Lowry quickly straightened his chest with confidence, anyway, the number of mines controlled by the Northland Kingdom was increasing year by year, all because the White Dragon helped a lot.

After all, if the army were to protect those mines located in the wilderness, the price to be paid would be a bit too high.

Sometimes, being loyal to one's monarch and serving one's country, even if the reward is generous, is still a justifiable price.

But, to protect the mines that are linked to money, then... even if it is a due payment, it will still be difficult to endure when calculating costs.

Not to mention, it is also necessary to meet the living needs of these formal professionals... and even provide a standard of living far exceeding a certain level, otherwise, why would the professional adults guard the mines in the wilderness?

Therefore, most of the mines will become the property of a certain mage or a merchant with local power, and the major kingdoms basically only need to collect taxes.

In this way, the cost becomes a problem that these people need to solve.

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

Whether to endure the sudden arrival of robbers, or to raise an army that can defend against most invasions, depends entirely on these people's own consideration.

The main reason why the mines of the Northland King have been unharmed for nearly fifty years is that they have learned to ask the nearby white dragons for help.

Speaking of nearby, with the speed of the white dragon, they can almost arrive from thousands of miles away in a few tens of minutes, so the control area of these dragons is really not small.

Merchants only need to guarantee one thing: pay a sum of wealth worth more than ten thousand when asking the white dragon to take action, and not care about the white dragon's gains from clearing bandits, then they can definitely cooperate happily.

Although the white dragons are greedy, they themselves cannot mine.

'Looking' at Ruth Kania's face and claws, the white dragons cannot casually turn against the people of the Northland Kingdom without reason.

Therefore, the mine merchants of the Northland Kingdom have become more and more capitalized.

The tax revenue received by the White Dragon King has also become more and more.

If ten years ago, there were still cases of white dragons being 'accidentally' violated, then in the past ten years, there has not been a single one.

And this is all because Ruth Kania believes that all income from the mines belonging to the Northland Kingdom may enter her two dragon nests.

So, Lowry, there is no problem at all!

He, who had his head held high and his chest puffed out, was quickly beckoned down by the Grand Mage Arsalan.

"Teacher, you're here too!" Lowry landed respectfully on the ground, one hand tightly grasping the broom that was about to move, "Your Majesty the King, long time no see.

Ruth Kania, how have you been lately?"

"Not good at all!" The White Dragon turned back unhappily, "My little veal was just out of the oven, tender, three-month-old veal!"

Lowry asked in disbelief? "Isn't this something you can eat every day?"

"You don't understand what gourmet food is!" Ruth Kania replied confidently, "These calves eat different foods every day, and the taste of the meat naturally changes!

Missing one meal is a huge loss!"

"Ruth Kania..." Lowry said softly, "It's a bit too much."

"Okay... then!" Ruth Kania turned her head back, "If even you say so, next time I'll find a better reason."

Then Ms. Ruth Kania fiercely warned the Ice Snow Saintess who had been trying to slip away: "Stupid girl from a family of fools! Be honest!

With your little skills, you want to break out of my ice prison?"

Yes, at the moment Ruth Kania came out of the dimensional gate, the Ice Snow Saintess Isabella, who had fled thousands of meters away, was dragged back by an ice line and firmly pressed into an inverted ice bowl.

Lowry glanced twice and couldn't help but point to the tip of the white dragon's tail in front: "Ruth Kania, that bowl, I seem to be a little familiar with it?"

"It's the bowl I eat roast beef in!" Ruth Kania甩了甩尾巴, couldn't help but complain, "I've told you several times! You're an adult, why are you still touching my tail?

Don't always treat white dragons as another kind of creature, I'm a girl even if I'm big!

The kind that can have children with you!"

Lowry retracted his fingers as fast as lightning and quickly apologized.
