Dear Broom Knight

Mirian couldn't help but laugh, slapping his forehead. "I was overthinking it. Even a god on earth couldn't stay in a chosen one's body for long."

But, I didn't expect him to not require Lady Pat to remain chaste."

"That's because Mother Pat isn't a god on earth, just the eyes he chose," Valera said with a gentle smile.

Charles gave them both a strange look, bringing the topic back. "Shouldn't we be discussing Princess Rosalind's terrible but effective acting right now?

Mother Pat didn't just start playing love games after coming to the Northern Border.

She was famous back in the King's Army!

Famous for turning her back ruthlessly, acting like she didn't know you the next day."

"Mother Pat is the best at playing lovers' games," Valera added softly. "Rosalind was digging a pit for you from the very beginning."

Mirian asked, puzzled, "How can you tell?"

"The Blade of the Tiger, didn't anyone notice?" Charles said, a bit dazed. "Although you guys are indeed the 'Brothers' Club'... but, aren't there quite a few famous players among you?

Did they actually go out and 'play'?"

Mirian looked bewildered. "How would I know? Am I supposed to listen to them share those broken stories?"

Charles quickly responded, "Then they definitely weren't as carefree as they claimed.

Real playboys can't help but show off and tease pure-hearted friends.

At the very least, they'd keep asking you when you're going to..."

Charles quickly shut his mouth under his sister's murderous gaze.

After all, given Mirian's behavior over the years, if someone actually teased him, they'd definitely use Valera as the topic.

Charles's hair stood on end, and he quickly changed the subject. "Mirian, do you still not understand why we say Rosalind was ill-intentioned from the start?"

Mirian pondered for a while, then shook his head. "I just think she's a pretty impulsive girl."

"See, you dislike the trouble she's caused you so much, even the secret scheming, but you still call her a 'girl'," Charles prompted softly. "You don't really hate her in your heart; at most, you just dislike her.

The difference between the two is huge!"

Valera rolled her eyes at her brother, saying directly, "If you hate her, you'll naturally try to make her lose the opportunity when she has a better future.

If you just dislike her, then even if you finally understand that she's using you, you'll just smile it off and ignore it, right?

Mirian."

The swordsman hesitated, then nodded. "I don't know if it will change later, but right now, I really just want to send her away; I don't have any other thoughts."

Valera smiled. "Because you really are a good person.

Princess Rosalind probably realized your personality from the start, so she used you without hesitation."

"Are you saying that her sudden declaration of love wasn't just to seduce me?" Mirian was a bit simple-minded, but not stupid, and he understood the implications of their words.

"Her methods are a bit like Mother Pat's ways," Valera glanced at Mirian. "Mother Pat prefers to deal with adventurers.

Mirian nodded blankly... suddenly, many short-lived love stories of his brothers flashed through his mind.

He couldn't help but ask, "Noble ladies, do they all..."

"They should all know, right?" Valera gave him a strange look. "We all have people like Mother Pat to give us some guidance and teachings!

Even those who choose proper marriages have to understand these routines.

Even if we don't go down that path ourselves, we have to prevent others from tricking us!

Princess Rosalind clearly also had similar boudoir teachings, but her methods are more rigid.

Those of us who were taught by Mother Pat since childhood can tell that kind of routine easily!"

Mirian looked helplessly at Charles. "Do they teach men too?"

"We're the ones who should learn the most!" Charles looked at him in surprise. "One mistake, and you could lose everything!"

Mirian was truly dazed... why is it that so many people from noble families in the Blade of the Tiger don't know anything?

After this thought surfaced, he slowly remembered... because they were all destined to be discarded from the start!

Mirian clenched his teeth, a twitch flashing across his face.

"You don't need to think too much," Valera thought for a moment, then offered him some comfort. "Even someone like Princess Rosalind, who was definitely taught by maids since childhood, couldn't hide it from our eyes, right?

Mother Pat taught us too well, too much, and also used real-life case studies, so our reactions are naturally faster."

Mirian didn't want to know what "real-life case studies" meant at all.

The Blade of the Tiger, as one of the top adventurer groups in the Northern Border, had some connections with some lone wolf adventurers.

Several big adventurers who disappeared in Montes Territory and sadly left the Northern Border suddenly flashed through his mind.

It was said that they all seemed to have suffered some emotional trauma, and it was their own mistakes that led to the bad consequences.

Mirian still remembered the dejected faces of those past friends.

Thinking of Valera and Charles in front of him, who had likely witnessed those stories firsthand, Mirian felt a chill run down his spine.

Fortunately, he had never thought about Valera...

Otherwise, based on his ability to be fooled to death by even Princess Rosalind, whom Valera and the others looked down on, he would definitely die without a burial place.

Mirian could now understand Rosalind's methods.

If that princess really wanted to seduce him, there's no way she wouldn't have investigated him.

No, she should have known everything about them, both openly and secretly, even before she came to Hamilton.

Then she shouldn't have shown her affection for him so directly... at least after Mirian saw some benefit in her.

So, she came with the intention of antagonizing him from the start.

Rather than saying that what she wanted was Mirian's reaction, it would be better to say that she wanted to reach Valera smoothly through Mirian.

"She wants to suppress you to..." Mirian couldn't understand. "Princess Rosalind is okay-looking, but she can't compare to Valera at all!"

Charles suddenly laughed.

"That... that's not because I have feelings for Miss Valera that I think so!" Mirian's face flushed red, but he still said firmly, "I think Princess Rosalind's looks are somewhere between her and Cheska."

Charles's laughter stopped abruptly.

"That's good, but don't say it next time," Valera said calmly. "Don't use past impressions to look at Cheska.

Next time she hears your loose talk, no one can save you.

Including our Baron Lowry."

Mirian scratched his head awkwardly. "Oh, I heard that Baron Lowry has basically handed over the territory affairs to Cheska to handle.

But, can Cheska really manage the overall situation now?"

Mirian always said what he thought in front of Valera. If it was absolute confidential information, he would just shut his mouth and say nothing.

Valera narrowed her eyes... so, even Hamilton, who had a good relationship with Qingfeng Territory, had actually analyzed the personality traits of the people on their side and discussed their weaknesses!

Fortunately, Baron Lowry was never the kind of person who liked to exploit the weaknesses of his subordinates.

The current Cheska is completely different from the one who used to be somewhat afraid of all powerful figures.

Valera waved her hand, saying with dissatisfaction, "No matter what Cheska is like, you shouldn't use her as a comparison object.

Does that Rosalind deserve it?"

She sneered, "Her head is full of bad ideas, all used to figure out how to make men fall in love with her.

Is she out of her mind?

With so many petty thoughts, she might as well think about how to become the rightful Icefield Queen!"

Valera could understand how upset Rosalind would be when she realized that her future husband might have a problem with her identity, and her mother-in-law was even prepared to restrain her.

But, so what?

Giving those two a hundred times the courage, they wouldn't dare do anything to Rosalind, let alone prevent her from being the queen in name and in fact.

The more chaotic the Icefield is, the better Alex will treat her.

At most, the children will be born a little later, so what?

"Why did Lowry say Alex was base?" Mirian, feeling embarrassed, remembered the original topic.

"Count Lyon's attitude towards him is just a normal cousin's feelings for his cousin," Valera answered simply. "Mirian, isn't your dissatisfaction with Alex because, as Lyon's real younger brother, Alex is a bit ungrateful?

Mirian nodded heavily. "We try our best, but we can only become Brother Lyon's younger brothers.

He was born with it, but he has that arrogant, you-owe-me attitude!"

"That's right~ But he thinks that Lowry, who doesn't pay attention to him at all, makes him the most comfortable, and the Ghezal Barony, which is indifferent to him, makes him the most at ease," Valera replied with a smile. "He treats the politeness of strangers as a blessing.

He treats the intimacy of relatives as pressure."
