Dear Broom Knight

#342 - How to Seek the Truth

"Your Majesty the King." The Prime Minister, seeing that no kind soul was willing to step forward, stood up and said, "Although the Icefield King is young and easily impulsive, he is not the type to be brainless.

I, after thinking it over, still feel that his actions may not be due to dissatisfaction with Princess Rosalind, but rather, something is forcing him to do so.

However, we don't really understand his personality.

So… could Earl Leon Hamilton and Baron Lorry Montes Gzall provide us with some valuable insights?"

Although the Northern Prime Minister basically just follows orders due to the White Dragon King's special status, lacking any real autonomy,

the fact that he's been able to work under such a King for so many years proves he has some skills.

After all, according to traditional rules, the Prime Minister cannot be from the King's own faction.

Whether it's finance or the military, His Majesty can appoint his own people to manage them.

However, the Prime Minister, who is responsible for the daily affairs of the entire country, and the Director of the Aristocratic Affairs Bureau, are at most neutral, and must be from a great noble family.

There are actually many neutral nobles in the Northern Kingdom, especially on the border.

The first king was a very wise man.

He would rather have opposing factions like Schroeder stay near the capital, potentially threatening its safety at any moment, than simply banish them to a faraway place.

People now can only play armchair generals, so they can understand the brilliance of the first king… Although there are bound to be a few crazy kings who ascend the throne, the big commotion caused by enemies at their bedside can quickly shut them up.

There will definitely be losses, but at least something can be salvaged.

Most importantly, even if something happens on the Northern border, it won't escalate too much.

If the Gzall affair had happened in the North, it might have caused a civil uprising, which is the impact the royal family least wants to see.

What is the struggle between nobles and royal power compared to that?

If the border is in chaos, it will give other countries an opportunity, which is a major problem.

Moreover, to look at it another way, if the Montes family's affairs had happened inland, it would never have been resolved so easily.

I don't know how many great nobles would have been dragged in… Even great nobles on the same side, accustomed to the infighting of the inland, would have their own agendas, and no one would want the Montes family to have a chance to breathe.

However, because the border is almost entirely neutral, the thing they fear most is their own chaos giving outsiders an opportunity to let those guys accustomed to internal strife enter the scene.

Therefore, even the great nobles whose territories connect the Montes territory to the inland areas are just watching, seeing if they can gain any advantage, but none of them have really intervened.

They play both sides, and occasionally some of them will take a stand, but they will never all defect together.

Unless they are driven to the edge.

The noble system of the North, because of its initial regulations, is very self-harmonious, so it is truly stable.

Of course, this also places demands on the quality of His Majesty the King himself.

For example, the current White Dragon King, who holds great power and is awe-inspiring, could easily destroy the current ecosystem if he really wanted to.

What can the Prime Minister do, no matter how capable, honest, or neutral he is?

He wasn't even the first, and things only stabilized after five or six replacements.

He could keep replacing them until he found a great noble who was willing to submit to him after becoming Prime Minister.

However, not only the White Dragon King, but even those former kings with real power never did such a stupid thing.

On the contrary, those few who weren't quite bright enough tried to do it.

Of course, they could only think about it.

This is why the Northern Royal Family has always stood at the pinnacle of the world, even after experiencing bloody internal strife.

With the first king laying the foundation, certain major events that could easily shake the foundation of the country are beyond the reach of fools, and smart people dare not and do not want to do them.

Just think about the Gzall affair to know that the greatest harm a stupid king can do is just that.

Unless he cultivates his character from then on, really shows his helplessness, and has a few chances of survival.

Gzall's biggest misfortune was having a clan leader who was unwilling to accept his mediocre position and wanted to climb up… If the main road is impassable, he can carefully take the side road that others have trodden.

Anyway, the main road is still very wide now, and there's no need to go to the side road to grab territory.

But he insisted on taking the crooked road and wanted to cut off other people's main road, so that even the little sympathy that came from his helplessness was gone.

Who else but him would die?

And after so many upheavals, the person who can still sit firmly in the position of Prime Minister, to say nothing else, has plenty of flexible skills and the ability to avoid taking the blame for others.

The White Dragon King, plopping back down on the throne, glared at the Prime Minister with a bad attitude: "State affairs are state affairs.

Don't drag irrelevant people into it.

If these national affairs can only be resolved through the border lords, then what do I need you for?

Don't tell me this useless stuff. If Leon and Lorry had any accurate information, would I need you to ask?

Since you already know the relationship between Hamilton and Qingfeng Territory and me, then make it clear.

I didn't bother with you about those trivial matters because I thought you were training the young ones.

But when it comes to matters of national importance, don't play dumb with me!

Use all your intelligence channels!

What is the reason for Alex's scorched-earth behavior? I want to know the truth within three days!"

This matter seems to be just a conflict between Alex and Rosalind that is getting bigger and bigger, to the point where no one can control it, and even Alex is throwing caution to the wind.

This engagement is about to fall apart, and at least the bride will definitely have to be replaced… Rosalind's words basically mean she's overturning the table.

Although no one knows why she suddenly doesn't want the queen's seat that she fought so hard to get back… It's not the first time there have been rumors about Alex in this regard. Valera is one thing; you could say he was captivated by her beauty, but his love story with the Ice Snow Saintess has also been rumored in the Northern capital.

But, whatever the reason, the Icefield Kingdom has indeed given her enough reason.

After all, the rumors of him being a groom every night are like slaps in the face to a bride who hasn't even married yet.

It's normal for Rosalind, who is stubborn and arrogant by nature, to not accept this… Now, no one will believe that the gentle and lovely little princess in the White Dragon King's words is real.

If she were really so gentle, even if she was influenced by the free atmosphere of Leon's side, she would never do such a wild thing.

However, the nobles think back, and if His Majesty Travis is judging a princess's personality based on the behavior of that Ms. Ruthkania, then she is indeed quite gentle.

Well, the two women from the Gzall family who just played a big game in the capital were also quite gentle.

At least the door was still on the frame when they knocked.

However, the nobles are also very clear that, according to the current situation, it's not wrong for Rosalind to be furious.

She was the one the Icefield Royal Family begged to come back.

Everyone can understand Princess Rosalind's anger, but it's another matter to go so far.

Although according to the tradition of the Northern Kingdom, when a princess encounters a situation where she absolutely must be replaced when she gets married, the former can keep her dowry, which has nothing to do with state affairs.

To put it bluntly, it means that she owns the gold and silver jewelry, and even some material things, but she will definitely not be given the queen's standard guard and some shares in the national mines.

Princess Rosalind's sudden change of face probably also has some problems.

The nobles even suspect that the engaged couple may have communicated something in private, but not only did the communication fail, but they even started fighting directly.

Alex's reply was also very insidious.

Although his own face is definitely gone… If a crown prince in his fifties is really pure and flawless, then, well, something must be wrong with him.

The Icefield nobles, no matter which side they are on, probably all want to die recently.

The Northern nobles have never been so grateful to His Majesty Travis for being shameless, but still having a bottom line.

Of course, you could also say that His Majesty Alex is actually asking for help in this shameless way.

Such a serious matter as replacing the bride will definitely attract the attention of the White Dragon King, and he may even personally send the bride to the border.

No, it should be said that he will definitely go.

After all, everyone knows that he has long wanted to go to Qingfeng Territory to see Ruthkania's children.

His Majesty Travis just hasn't found a suitable excuse yet.

But, is it really necessary to be so ruthless to yourself?

The Prime Minister thinks over and over again that the pit inside must be very big.

He couldn't help but give the White Dragon King a resentful look.

Of course, the Prime Minister knows that Earl Hamilton and Baron Gzall both have some channels to quickly send information to His Majesty the King.

But he also knows that, given the status of those two, they would not specifically investigate the movements of the Icefield Royal Family.

To put it bluntly, these two have friendships with Alex, so they will be more cautious in their actions.

The reason why the Prime Minister had to mention these two at this time was that he hoped His Majesty the King would ask them to do more.

Earl Leon Hamilton is a very famous adventurer, and he can seize many underground news.

And Baron Gzall is even more needless to mention.

The nobles living near him have very complicated feelings… Even if they do bird-repelling activities, they are just comforting themselves.

The rest can only depend on whether that Baron Lorry wants to.

However, Lorry Montes's terrible temper is also quite famous.
