Dear Broom Knight
#396 - Unlucky Fabrice
The story of Alex and Rosalind, due to Laurie's sudden whim, transformed from what could have been a drawn-out, back-and-forth affair into something else entirely.
Although it was still a tale of love between a man and a woman, this time, there was neither the anger and regret of a cherished first love, nor the malicious harassment of a female supporting character as a spice, making their love particularly straightforward.
So straightforward, that it was no different from those stories in 'cool' dramas where people fall in love at first sight for no reason, and you can't tell whether it's love or just lust.
In short, after a lively and chaotic episode, Rosalind, before being recalled by the White Dragon King, grabbed her old decree and left the Northern Kingdom with Alex.
Laurie, perched in the clouds, went from being full of curiosity at the beginning to feeling utterly bored in just three days.
Meanwhile, those two had spent half a month in Montes Castle, amidst Fabrice's livid face, before choosing to hit it off.
Laurie had always thought Fabrice was a very tolerant and enduring person.
Some things, if it were someone narrow-minded, even knowing that the other person was helping him, they would still harbor resentment because they were temporarily at a disadvantage and unable to control the overall situation.
Although Fabrice used to be a little rascal who wanted to bully Laurie because Laurie was too outstanding, this child never thought of doing anything to Laurie in secret.
He always did it himself, and the more he failed, the more courageous he became, even though Laurie was the one who always won.
Of course, Fabrice wasn't that stupid either; he would only come to Laurie again after he felt that he had finally made some progress.
When he realized that his strength was growing slower and slower, and there was even no progress in a year, he just went into a frenzy of extra training... Of course, this child was also a pragmatist; although he wouldn't do it himself, he wouldn't stop his parents from doing it either.
Although he really looked down on it, and even clearly showed his disapproval.
How should I put it... In the world of nobles, being able to guarantee that you won't take action yourself is already someone with principles.
Fabrice, who wouldn't hold a grudge against anyone even if it required him to bow his head temporarily as long as it didn't harm his own interests, naturally wouldn't be annoyed by the king of another country and his own princess engaging in love affairs on his territory.
What business was it of his?
However, their stay was too long, naturally attracting some followers of the Frost Lord with not-so-good brains.
Of course, Fabrice hated these Frost followers.
But what could he do?
Even though he had become a formal knight and commanded two knight orders.
With so few top-tier combatants, Fabrice would be crazy to sacrifice everything to avenge this.
He didn't even dare to refuse the entry of the Storm Lord's followers!
It was only because the Storm Lord had once swept through the entire Montes County with divine power that anything happening in this area would easily attract the attention of the wisp of divine soul incarnation still lingering nearby, so the Storm followers who came to Montes County were all very serious and devout believers for the time being.
Those with guilty consciences, those who caused the Montes Incident, didn't dare to come at all.
But Fabrice actually hoped that he could be like his little uncle next door... Unfortunately, he didn't have the confidence.
The only thing Fabrice could do was to refuse any audience from envoys of various churches.
He could even do this only because of Mrs. Yagris's support!
To avoid embarrassing himself too much, Fabrice had been diligently working in his castle all these years, rarely leaving his home.
He was determined that he would only go out again when he reached level 6.
However, the Frost followers not only appeared in his territory but also directly entered the vassal city outside his castle to attack the Northern Princess's delegation... What could Fabrice do?
Even if he wanted to stay at home and pretend not to know that unwelcome guests had come to his house, he couldn't!
Fabrice was very clear that if he ended the inspection of the castle guard unclearly without cleaning it up once and for all, he would definitely have a lot of trouble in the future.
Once some people hide, it will definitely take a great toll to dig them out again.
Those days, Fabrice's face was so ugly that Laurie could see it at a glance from the clouds... When the city encountered a heretical attack, the Earl of Montes had to appear on the city wall to supervise.
This was his duty as the lord.
Even if he was no longer a border earl, the Montes territory was still in the Northern Border, and he still had to abide by the various rules of the border lords.
Fortunately, Rosalind still played the image of a pitiful and lovely little girl who, although apprehensive and pessimistic about the future, was attracted by Alex's suave and gentle demeanor.
Moreover, her emotional expression was quite gradual.
From the initial 'My heart belongs to someone else, my beloved is like a cloud in the sky, no matter how good you are, I will not be moved,' to 'You are very good, but you have a criminal record, and there are a bunch of troubles around you. I don't want to ruin myself like that; Milian is more worthwhile,' and then to 'Why, why are you the King of the Ice Plains!' after fighting side by side and being rescued by the other party several times.
It was really acted out with a lot of layers.
More convincing than the idol dramas Laurie had watched in the past... At least the cause and effect of offering herself in marriage were made clear.
If Rosalind wasn't worried that a certain king would have a sudden whim and have to go outside Qingfeng Valley to determine what she really was, she could have acted a little better.
Especially the speed of her falling for him could have been a little slower.
This kind of her, although she still made Alex believe her performance, also made him somewhat suspicious of her fickleness.
A particularly confident man like Alex always believes that his charm can make someone who has a sweetheart forget their past and fall into the mortal world, but also suspects that she is fickle because she falls too quickly.
But it doesn't matter.
Strong self-confidence will make him believe that as long as she is with him, even a woman with an unstable mind will not be distracted.
Of course, this definitely has a very unfavorable side for Rosalind, that is, Alex will inevitably pay attention to her for a long time... Trusting his own charm but not trusting Rosalind's loyalty is bound to happen.
Rosalind also has to be careful when doing things.
For example, when she wants to establish her own power and extend her hand out of the court, the people she can choose are relatively limited.
She'd better not choose someone who looks a little better and has some masculine charm.
Otherwise, it will definitely arouse Alex's suspicion in another aspect.

Rosalind naturally knew these things very well; she simply chose the former between the future trouble and the trouble that would continue into the future.
In short, no matter whether Alex, as the King of the Ice Plains, understood what was happening, he still cooperated with the beautiful and lovely Northern Princess to put on a touching love story.
Turning their relationship from a loveless marriage with only benefits into a mutual attraction between a man and a woman.
Although Laurie didn't really like watching idol dramas, she could see from this kind of similar performance that what Rosalind wanted was not for Alex to necessarily fall in love with her, but that even if it was acting, he had to 'love' her.
At least in the eyes of the outside world, in the stories that were spread, she had to be the one being loved.
Laurie had been wondering which Goddess of Love and Desire had died in that war during this period.
This was unbelievable.
Which proper Goddess of Love and Desire would go to war herself!
Being able to stand far away in the divine kingdom and cry out to the male gods who had had dealings with her and were fighting to the death, 'Don't fight anymore~ You're making me so sad,' would be considered pretty good.
It's probably another unlucky person, either controlled by someone or assimilated by someone.
Laurie was just a little sympathetic to Fabrice, who had only sent away the plague god half a month ago.
This guy was really unlucky.
The city that he had finally rebuilt and the people he had comforted suffered heavy losses again because of this incident.
Especially that woman, Rosalind.
In order to show her pitifulness, loveliness, and respectability, and to give Alex the right opportunity to be a hero saving the beauty, she clearly knew that the heretical Frost followers would definitely attack her, but she still always went to the most crowded places in the city center.
After several similar incidents occurred, Fabrice strictly ordered his subjects not to leave their rooms and resigned himself to bad luck, issuing seven days' worth of basic supplies to his subjects... Not only did he have to bear the loss of the city being shut down for seven days, but he even increased so much consumption, and as a result, that woman went to some important business centers.
The people can temporarily do nothing and let life come to a standstill.
How could the government?
Especially with a pair of wicked and lowly dogs of a man and a woman next to him.
Then Fabrice had to watch as a large part of his municipal center collapsed.
Fortunately, the people of the Yagris Knights were strong enough, and the grassroots officials that Fabrice had painstakingly cultivated were all saved.
But there must be many injured people, so they can only let them rest.
Although that Princess Rosalind very enthusiastically wanted to provide treatment, Fabrice refused.
Fabrice, as a great noble, was actually very clear that most healing divine arts, including those of the church, had a drawback, which was that they would inevitably borrow a little of the injured person's own life force.
Especially spells that quickly heal wounds.
Great knights clearly have a lifespan of two or three hundred years, but few of them even live to be one hundred and fifty years old, because they have suffered too many fatal injuries before and have to borrow life from their future selves.
These officials that Fabrice had carefully cultivated, although capable, were far from strong.
Fabrice didn't intend to let them retire early.
