Dear Broom Knight
#281 - The crowded capital
Lowry silently retracted his claws, ah, no, his hands.
Even if Chesca didn't put it so bluntly, he actually had a similar feeling.
Whenever he saw the sphere, he couldn't help but feel the urge to pat it.
Just now, he had patted this planet model so hard that it spun like a top.
Moreover, all of this was done subconsciously.
Lowry smiled helplessly… Indeed, in those books about dragons he had read in the past, it was mentioned that dragons really weren't lizards. If you had to find a similar animal, it would only be a cat.
Although more complex in structure, dragon eyes are actually very similar to cat eyes, and a dragon's muscle groups are also very similar to those of a cat.
So, it's quite normal to occasionally have cat-like hobbies, right?
Quickly reassuring himself, Lowry turned to look at Chesca: "Why don't you try it out and see if it works?"
Despite receiving a generous salary, Chesca, who had been working overtime for many days, silently walked forward… Although the planet model in front of her was personally crafted by Lowry, Chesca, who had done most of the writing, felt that it was her work.
Therefore, she was no longer as humbly shrinking in the back as before. As soon as Lowry mentioned it, she walked over.
Even if Lowry could be said to be someone she had watched grow up.
Who in their right mind would do such a thing?
Lowry wasn't afraid of making her depressed.
Chesca shook her head helplessly, for the first time sincerely hoping that Lowry would like Taylor more.
If that didn't work, Charles could also be used!
Valera was out of the question; hearing her eldest sister's voice would easily make her nervous.
In Chesca's wild thoughts, a virtual three-dimensional map of the Northern Kingdom was projected into mid-air.
The royal capital, noble territories, and even some uninhabited forests and deserts were all displayed one by one.
Chesca frowned and tapped on the thumbnail of the royal capital.
The other images slowly receded, and the map of the royal capital began to rapidly expand and enlarge.
Finally, a miniature landscape of 9 square meters formed in front of her.
Every building was clearly visible, and some buildings were specifically marked with their owners.
Of course, the royal palace was definitely there too.
Chesca's eyes suddenly widened… Did His Majesty the King really have so many children?
If it weren't for such a direct representation, Chesca wouldn't have understood why so many nobles regarded the White Dragon King's princes and princesses as a threat.
However, now she could understand it a little bit.
Indeed, because of her father's long life, most of the princes had given up competing for the right to inherit the throne.
But similarly, these princes also needed status and income that matched their identities.
Although the White Dragon King would distribute an annuity to these children from his private treasury, the royal family's entire internal treasury was the big prize.
Although the White Dragon King had a strong bottom line and never thought of using the national treasury to support his children… but wasn't the internal treasury related to the outside world?
The reason why the king's exclusive chamber of commerce created so many merchant groups was not to support so many children?
Probably, after confirming that the White Dragon King could remain in power for a long time, the great nobles of the North knew that people like Earl Leon Hamilton would inevitably appear.
Therefore, many nobles, even if they were loyal to His Majesty the King, would no longer continue to serve him.
The better ones were like Lowry's father, Earl Montes, who, although returning to his own home, was still willing to follow in the footsteps of the White Dragon King.
The worse ones… were those nobles who tried to limit the king's power.
They would not actively harm the king's interests, but they would not allow the king to easily obtain anything… They just wouldn't go so far as to stand in the king's enemies' camp.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were disloyal, they were just choosing the interests of their families between the king and the family.
However, compared to those nobles who were on guard against His Majesty the King everywhere, even Earl Montes, who had no intention of staying in the royal capital to stop His Majesty the King, but only hoped that the family could be preserved, had the most tragic outcome…
Or rather, this was the reason why the Storm Church had to attack the Montes family.
Only by making this family's ending tragic enough would the other nobles completely lose faith in the great King who had led them to expand their territory to its current extent.
So, was that why the White Dragon King worked so hard to help Fabrice gain a foothold after the Montes family had an accident, even at the expense of sacrificing the interests of Lady Yagris, who had always been loyal to him?
Chesca turned to look at Lowry, whose expression hadn't changed at all… Did the Baron and Lady Yagris understand all of this from the beginning, so they didn't fight for anything at all?
Also, Lady Yagris, who once wanted to put on her battle robes again and fight for His Majesty the King in all directions, finally gave up her past dreams and chose her own path of knighthood, was it because she had already done her best for His Majesty the King?
Chesca sighed softly.
Before she saw this map, she always thought that His Majesty the King was really good and trusting to Lowry and Lady Yagris!
However, if those goods only came from guilt…
‘Slap!’
A large hand slapped the back of her head.
"Don't overthink it," Lowry raised his chin slightly, "It's because you've been by my side for too long that you think superiors are so tolerant and generous."
Lowry had never thought that the Toler siblings, whom he had raised, would one day be tempted by others to leave him.
Of course, the premise was that the four siblings were calm enough and wouldn't be emotionally impulsive.
But purely in terms of benefits, no one could give more than him.
That was not just money, but also enough resources, and enough trust and respect.
In a situation where there was no need to bend over for money, how many people would be willing to give up their dignity for a little short-term gain?
Lowry would never reuse such fools.
In this world, a superior like the White Dragon King, who would consider the feelings of his subordinates and be willing to let them choose their own path after they had paid a certain price, was already very good and rare.
More often than not, it was the kind of bastard who made you feel like you were being given face even if you worked 007.
Chesca smiled awkwardly, put away the wild thoughts in her head, and pointed to a large area on the map: "The open space on both sides of the palace will be filled with the palaces of the princes and princesses.
What will happen in the future? Move to the mountains behind?
Impossible, right?"
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!
Lowry couldn't help but laugh: "How many wealthy and powerful great nobles in our Northern Kingdom haven't had royal marriages?"
Excluding the border territories.
Not a single border earl would easily marry into the royal family.
After all, the kings weren't magnanimous enough.
It didn't matter if there were no opportunities in the past; after all, the border earls had contributed so much that the royal family couldn't easily make petty moves.
However, once the kings determined that a certain border earl was willing to integrate into the royal bloodline, they would ensure that the family would never have a female head of household from another surname, and could only marry princesses for generations.
Even Montes, who wholeheartedly wanted to move closer to the inland, wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
Of course, they didn't care now.
Chesca couldn't help but tap three times in mid-air, returning the map to the national mode. After surveying it for a week, she said with wide eyes: "Ah… the great earls with a little money have already…
His Majesty the King, how rich is he now!"
Except for the Storm Church, marquises and above with ulterior motives had already been wiped out.
The recent two queens were both from earl families.
Besides the Storm Church, those two were already the wealthiest earls among the inland nobles.
The others definitely couldn't afford the queen's dowry.
"No wonder, the more open-minded the new queen is, the longer she lives," Chesca muttered to herself.
Lowry almost laughed out loud… Actually, it should be said that families who felt that their family had hope and tried to make the current queen abdicate were almost gone.
Although the White Dragon King was a bit greedy, he definitely wouldn't lower his value to that level.
But those families couldn't possibly send him money again after they already had their own royal bloodline.
So, queens who were a bit like consumables were actually fine as long as they didn't cause trouble for themselves.
For example, the current one had already passed the three-year term.
Five years, and her body obviously had no problems at all.
However, her family was the weakest among all the queens so far.
Thinking of this, Lowry suddenly blinked his eyes: When did the Lord of the High Tower begin to think that Pat had the possibility of making the White Dragon King give up his consistent self-preservation and accept a cult lover?
It shouldn't have been very long.
At least when Lowry was an infant, it definitely wasn't there.
So, was it seven years ago, when the White Dragon King married the first queen from an earl family?
Those with ulterior motives should have guessed from that time that the White Dragon King's queen would no longer be so eternally youthful.
However, the White Dragon King himself was forever young and high-spirited.
But this one hadn't eaten the same dish for decades, or even centuries.
Lowry shook his head slightly… These old guys were not easy to mess with.
Someone like him, who was simple-minded and needed to think for a long time to understand, should definitely not jump into muddy waters himself.
The current situation was the most beneficial for him.
He looked at the map again and said softly: "Since there are no problems, then let's look at other countries!"
Chesca's finger moved on the planet model for a while, finally skipped the Icefield Kingdom, and opened Vargas.
