Dear Broom Knight

Perched on the throne, listening with a nonchalant expression to the nobles arguing in the hall, His Majesty Travis suddenly turned pale and stood up abruptly.

Startled, Arsalan also rose to his feet instantly: "Your Majesty?"

The nobles below exchanged glances and shut their mouths… No matter what had happened, no one was willing to speak without knowing the situation.

After all, whatever could make their king so alarmed was definitely not a trivial matter.

Whoever spoke first would suffer.

"Lori…," Travis slowly squeezed out the two syllables, his voice very soft.

But Arsalan couldn't possibly miss it, and he perked up instantly, asking again: "Your Majesty?"

Travis rolled his eyes in annoyance but still reassured him: "Don't worry, that kid, hmph! He probably wanted to see me make a fool of myself, but now he's realized things are a bit off, so he finally spoke up."

"What is it?" Arsalan calmly sat back down. "If it's Lori's fault, I'll help you scold him!"

"You think I'd tell you?" Travis gave him a cold glare. "Lori must have been corrupted by you. He used to be…"

"You dare say he's more mischievous than before?" Arsalan scoffed without looking up. "Lori has become much more stable since becoming a mage!"

"Heh~" Travis snorted heavily through his nose. "You want to hear my embarrassment and also flatter yourself? You want everything to be about you?

Dream on!"

Arsalan curled his lip dismissively: "It's not like I can only hear it from you!"

Travis's gaze was icy and terrifying… Arsalan could have asked Lori directly, but he insisted on hearing it from Travis's own mouth; that was the most insidious part of this fellow's plan!

Travis wouldn't fall for that.

The White Dragon King, sitting back on his throne, rolled his eyes, unable to think of any way to make Lori keep it a secret for him.

How inflated would someone have to be to think they could do that?

Anyway, Travis didn't think he had that ability. He would honestly abide by the rules of interaction between the king and the nobles, and just hold on to his bottom line.

Loyalty was earned with one's own sincerity, and it had to be a consistently firm sincerity. How could one payment benefit you for life?

Even loyal dogs had to be fed well!

Even if a good dog could hunt on its own and share the prey with its master, wouldn't the master still have to provide enough hunting grounds?

Even though he was very confident in his own strength and had shared many memories and knowledge with Ruth Kania, Travis would never overestimate himself.

Pride was fine, but arrogance was out of the question.

Travis knew very well that when he first discovered Pat was plotting against him, Lori would definitely choose to remain silent.

As long as Pat still carried this mission, the Tower Master would definitely not arrange any particularly evil tasks for Pat.

Even if that female knight had long been mentally prepared to do evil… otherwise, she wouldn't have severed ties with Yagris so decisively, but delaying it by one day was still better than nothing.

Maybe she could wait for a chance to avoid doing evil altogether?

And in order for Pat to appear naturally before the Northern King, she had to stay in the royal capital and not easily harm the people of the Northern Kingdom.

Otherwise, with Travis's personality, the moment he saw Pat, he would definitely strike directly and kill her!

As for how pitiful or helpless Pat was… who cared?

Once done, it was done.

As the king, he only needed to punish the culprit, not to understand the culprit's difficulties.

As for why he would speak now, it wasn't because Lori had given up on Pat.

Ruth Kania asking that kid about the Tower Master's information at this time, and asking why Pat hadn't left at this important moment when the Tower Church was gathering believers, probably made Lori sense some danger.

Of course, the danger was definitely not to him, Travis… His problem was only that he would be embarrassed and laughed at by the whole world.

This was also the main reason why Lori had been watching the show from the beginning.

If it really affected Travis's life safety or even threatened his kingship, Lori wouldn't have remained silent for so long.

That damned kid was just lacking in morals, not lacking in brains!

No!

Even after repeatedly comforting himself, Travis became more and more angry.

Arsalan, who had been watching the fun with his legs crossed for a long time, suddenly interjected gleefully: "I can't even guarantee that Lori would choose me between letting me be embarrassed and making his mother sad.

Does Your Majesty really think you have that kind of status?

If you really did, why did you have to calculate so much when you sent a Ruth Kania to Lori's house back at the Great Cliff?"

Travis glared at him fiercely: "You don't need to remind me, the key point is Yagris, not Pat!"

Arsalan nodded with a smile… See, you didn't even think about bothering Lori and Yagris to come to the capital because it would affect Ruth Kania's mood, right?

Although he still didn't know what news Lori had given Ruth Kania that made Travis so angry, combining it with Travis's earlier muttering, Arsalan could still guess that this matter was definitely related to Pat.

In the end, the matter with Pat was actually very easy to solve.

As long as Madam Yagris entered the capital, that girl would definitely flee at the first sign of trouble and never stay to affect Yagris's future.

But if he did that, what would Lori think?

He so readily accepted Ruth Kania's child and partner… How many lords could accept such a powerful dragon as Bolanios living in their territory, and even living in their castle?

Any noble with a little common sense knew how… unpredictable and moody white dragons were.

Stories of white dragons turning their backs on others were recorded in everyone's biographies.

No matter how good the relationship had been for the past two hundred years, it had absolutely nothing to do with whether the white dragon wanted to rob you now.

Lori and Ruth Kania did have a good relationship, but how old was Lori?

How much was a friendship of more than ten years worth!

Arsalan could understand that Lori's temperament and personality would lead him to accept the trouble Ruth Kania brought, but if it were him, he would never do that.

Even if the request came from his bosom friend.

Of course, he didn't have that thing.

It could be said that the person Arsalan had given the most sincerity to was His Majesty King Travis.

There was no way around it. As long as there was still humanity, long-term harmonious coexistence and constant emotional investment would still gradually make people addicted.

In short, Lori had already given everything he could give.

Although Travis wasn't a good person, he couldn't bypass Lori at this time and order Yagris, who would definitely obey his orders, to come to the capital.

That kind of use was too obvious and naturally too hurtful, and it would inevitably create a rift between Ruth Kania and Lori, who had a deep friendship.

Who made Ruth Kania and Travis so tightly bound?

Tsk tsk~ After returning, he would find time to contact Lori.

Since that child had made everything clear, he wouldn't hide it from him, his teacher.

The White Dragon King glanced at Arsalan, who was gloating, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

He really couldn't do anything about Lori, and he even had to thank Lori for reminding him before it happened.

No matter how late the message was, as long as it was delivered, he, who knew what was going on, would never be hooked again.

Even a few minutes in advance could be said to be in time for Travis.

Furthermore, knowing that he would inevitably be in trouble in the future, how could Travis let Ruth Kania be uneasy when she was with him?

That Bolanios, Ruth Kania had never completely trusted him.

However, Travis could also understand Ruth Kania's distrust.

Both he and the White Dragon King had very clearly told Ruth Kania that the thing called 'dad' wasn't that they didn't love their children, but they really couldn't be relied on.

There were always things that could distract them.

Although she, as a mother, was also, um, not very good.

But at least, Ruth Kania had done everything she could.

It could be considered thoughtful.

As the beneficiary, Travis, although he couldn't give up everything to accompany Ruth Kania in fulfilling her duties as a mother, he wouldn't even take away her only thought.

He admitted his selfishness, but he wasn't too shameless.

But, Arsalan, who was ready to laugh at him before knowing the truth… Travis had plenty of ways to deal with him.

"Lori…" Ruth Kania, lying on the jeweled bed, was a little listless. "Tell me, is there any way to completely get Travis out of this trouble?

Even if he knows to be careful of Pat, there's still his queen in the harem!"

"What are you thinking about?" Lori was startled. "Although the Tower Master hasn't ascended to the throne of God, he's also a divine being.

The law of kingship also applies to him."

The queen's children, no matter how low their ranking in the succession to the throne, still had a chance.

Therefore, as long as she was a proper queen, she couldn't be regarded as a womb for a god to be reincarnated.

Lori was most satisfied with this point in the world.

For mortals, even the worst king was more meaningful than the so-called gods.

No matter how high and mighty he was, what he saw in his eyes were people.
