Dear Broom Knight
#345 - Chesca the Determined
Being granted a title was a great thing for ordinary people.
Even if the territory was small, they would still be landed nobles, and their descendants would not be too embarrassed.
Moreover, with territory came taxes... Given the environment of their several territories, although they were strictly guarded, they were indeed located near important transportation routes.
As long as they were honest, they would have no problem eating their fill.
However, they were once very favored princes, and being granted a title meant the end of their future prospects.
Even if His Majesty the King would certainly live longer than them, their status as princes with inheritance rights was still their trump card.
Even if they died, as long as their title was still prince, their children would still have inheritance rights.
If an heir was chosen from among the grandchildren, or even great-great-grandchildren, there would be no need to consider the order of succession.
As long as they had the ability, anyone would have a chance.
Then, anyone could dream that dream.
These princes desperately amassed wealth and wooed the great nobles, considering the possibility of their branch ascending to the throne in the future.
However, being granted a title was a way for nobles to divide their families... and the royal family was no exception.
Those who were separated became collateral branches, and no one was an exception.
If it were another royal family, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
But... the White Dragon King's?
There were countless descendants, so there was no chance for the collateral branches to speak!
Even though they knew that their father favored the eldest prince's branch more, they had been indulged for so many years.
Therefore, for these princes, this period was truly a living hell.
Yet, they dared not die.
As a king, Travis had already shown them leniency as a father... If you still want to die, who are you dissatisfied with?
Even if Travis himself didn't have such thoughts, he didn't care if those few princes thought he did.
After all, as long as they were careful and got through the initial stage, those few would not die even if they wanted to.
As long as they were no longer tempted by anything, they could still live well.
At least, Travis would not have to bear the blame for forcing his own sons to death.
Although he didn't care much, if he could avoid it, he didn't need to bear it.
Lowry was quite happy with this result.
He even brought delicacies and wine to dine with Lady Yagris on the day he received the news.
He and his mother did not mention the past, but tacitly indulged in a little drunkenness.
Regret was not something they felt.
Even Lady Yagris didn't feel that way.
She was well aware that although Count Gezar would not have been able to force her without that prince, Lady Yagris was not without any power to resist.
She had simply chosen this path for the sake of a permanent solution.
She would not regret her choice.
Regrets were certainly there, but they had long since vanished with the wind and never bothered her.
Otherwise, Lady Yagris would not have been able to advance directly.
Lady Yagris was the kind of unrestrained and calm, firm and persistent person, she never said that she didn't regret this marriage because she had a child like Lowry.
Her understanding and judgment of all this was based on herself.
She chose the marriage herself, so she only needed to see what the marriage brought her.
If she could accept it and forget it, then she could move on.
As for the child... a good child was a surprise, an ordinary child would be helped to live an ordinary but good life. Lady Yagris never had the idea of entrusting her future to her child.
Although Lowry's surprise was a bit too big.
Lowry was the same, he really couldn't say anything, so he could only get drunk with his mother.
The past, for Lowry and Lady Yagris, after drinking that wine, really vanished with the wind.
But, for the other great nobles, especially those court nobles, it was absolutely unforgettable.
The confiscated assets of these princes were almost equivalent to ten years of national tax revenue.
This was the national tax of the Northern Kingdom!
The national treasury and the palace treasury were suddenly full.
The palace treasury was fine, it was full because of the profit from the merchant teams under the princes, and some profits from the palace assets that were originally allocated to them.
Although... did the princes earn money by doing business? Those were all generous gifts they sent up!
But, at least, on the surface, it was.
Even if the nobles were depressed, they couldn't say anything. Could they say that they bought these unnecessary things for what?
But, those received in the national treasury really made the nobles feel like they had a bone stuck in their throat.
Those were the assets that the princes had extorted.
Of course, it should be said that those nobles who took sides had used various means to illegally or secretly send mines and chambers of commerce to the princes.
As long as the 'origin' could not be found, His Majesty Travis would wave his pen and include it in the black assets... for example, those obtained from the Gezar family, and then nationalized.
But which great noble dared to shout at that time, it's not what His Majesty the King said, that's mine!
Say what P!
No one wanted to be classified as the Gezar faction.
But no one dared to say that they were forced.
The princes were not really dead.
The one on the throne was still their biological father.
Travis really made a fortune.
But the result was that, at least for decades, it was estimated that the nobles would avoid the palace affairs.
So, even if Lyon's brothers were doing well again, and his younger brother also became awesome, no great noble was willing to pay attention to them.
Now, those who follow those few are either court nobles who want to benefit from them, or those with ulterior motives.
Except for a false liveliness, there is nothing.
The newest novels are first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!
But they themselves still don't know, they have nothing, so they started fighting among themselves.
However, Travis didn't care about anything.
Smart people will naturally see Lyon.
But, the unified reaction of the great nobles was to walk around Count Hamilton.
Even if it was very likely that it was because of what he did that Princess Rosalind became what she is now, no noble said a word about it.
Everyone just pulled it to the Icefield Kingdom.
The prime minister's statement will only make discerning people not even pull Lowry... he dug that pit, more likely to be aimed at the Minister of Commerce.
Lowry blinked and turned to look at Cheska: "Among the two deputies of the Minister of Commerce, are there people related to the prime minister's side?"
"Of course there are ~" Cheska raised her head, "The deputies of any department must be a neutral faction, and a king faction.
The Storm side either has the ability to send their own people to the main position, or they can only be in the middle layer, the deputy position of the department, basically there is no share for them.
Saying that it is a neutral faction, to put it bluntly, it is at least the Northern faction.
They were originally the descendants of the nobles who existed only for the country under the will of the first king.
In dealing with the Storm faction, they will only stand on the same side as the king faction."
Lowry nodded and shook his head: "We don't need to worry about the affairs of the capital, just keep up with the intelligence."
"Yes, Baron."
Lowry tilted his head and asked curiously: "There shouldn't be much information from the Icefield side, right?
Why do you look so busy?"
Cheska's busy hands stopped, and the look in her eyes as she looked at her lord was like the coldest ice blade: "Baron!
Have you forgotten... you asked me to combine the information from the Sebephia family and Vargas with the Icefield Kingdom.
If there is any news that has an internal connection, even if it is only possible, it must be put together.
Moreover, these things, only I can do it!"
Lowry smiled awkwardly: "Ah ~ I, thinking..."
"Baron..." Cheska's tone softened, "Please forgive my momentary irritability.
These things are originally my job.
I actually understand.
In order to let me get used to these affairs as soon as possible, you have already given me the greatest help.
Even if I can cultivate enough assistants in the future, some information will not work if I don't know it myself.
The only reason for being deceived is one's own ignorance.
What you said to Montes and those people was also meaningful to me."
Cheska looked at Lowry, although her cheeks were flushed but her tone was firm: "Please don't mind my momentary ignorance."
Lowry nodded: "I actually wanted to say, Taylor and the others can always help you, right?"
Cheska shook her head: "Baron, I have actually discovered it.
Valera and Charles are consistent in their style of handling affairs because they are tacit enough.
Valera's half-finished work, Charles can continue to do it without thinking after seeing it.
But for mine, they have to look at it again from the beginning.
I can't always let them help.
I want to use these large amounts of repetitive work to develop my own work style first, and then find people who can cooperate with my style among the trusted assistants."
Lowry was speechless and could only nod blankly.
