Dear Broom Knight

"Sister Valera was very surprised and a little flustered," Cheska said softly. "She doesn't understand why she's being ennobled so early.

Although with your ability and majesty, even if there are more petty nobles in the territory, it's impossible for them to affect your rule… but, Valera's existence will definitely take away some of what should belong to you…"

"Cheska," Lorri turned around and sat on the bay window, chuckling softly, "If there weren't already so many commoners in the territory when I entered here, I would have chosen a quiet territory without so many complicated affairs, just like other mages.

I never care how many people are willing to follow me, or whether they are loyal enough.

I don't need those.

As long as they don't violate the rules I set in my territory, that's enough.

Laws and regulations are my only requirements.

Those who can't do it, either leave or… die."

Lorri had no interest in accepting useless gratitude.

As a mage, he really didn't need any human worship, nor was he interested in developing a group of subordinates he couldn't even look up to.

On the contrary, Valera might need these.

Lorri didn't know if his considerations were right… but he always felt that Rosalind didn't just randomly choose Valera as her foil.

Moreover, it's very likely that after she really takes charge of certain powers in the Icefield Royal Palace, she will still attack Valera.

After confirming that Rosalind's artifact likely came from a corrupted goddess of love and lust, Lorri was even more certain of this.

Those so-called goddesses of love have always needed a counter-proof of her beauty and charm.

Comparing beauty with someone and then completely suppressing her, and using the ugliest existence to highlight her beauty, is almost the core value of these goddesses.

Rosalind will be no exception.

Moreover, her foil will definitely choose someone of comparable status, or at least someone who can be compared with her on some level… Aren't the various race love gods in Toril, whom no one can suppress, often appearing together for 'unmalicious' competitions?

Although it's better to make the other party admit defeat, if that's not possible, then the rumor that 'beauty is next to beauty' can also consolidate her beauty godhood.

Therefore, even if Valera herself doesn't mean it, it's difficult for her to stop the active mention from a high-ranking person.

If Valera was just a commoner official in a barony at this time, even if her level was higher, there would inevitably be some rumors that shouldn't appear.

This isn't Lorri being paranoid.

But, there are always people who feel that a queen's crown is infinitely charming… and Valera, who is favored by her, even refusing is a kind of 'not knowing what's good for her'.

However, as long as she has a title, this is not a story between a queen and a commoner girl.

But a tit-for-tat confrontation between a foreign noble leader and a noble of this country… Even if there is a gap in status, they are of equal status.

Those rumors will naturally collapse.

Lorri had no interest in playing along, he preferred to solve everything from the source.

The rest depends on Valera's own choice.

If she just doesn't accept the move, then Rosalind has no other way… Valera's title comes from the recognition of the Northern Kingdom, as a foreign queen from the Northern Princess, Rosalind must not despise Valera's identity.

That's equivalent to insulting herself.

Lorri has already done everything he can for Valera.

He said in a calm tone: "Cheska, tell Valera, don't think about those useless things.

Her future, what I can interfere with is only up to this point, the rest depends on how she chooses."

Cheska was stunned for a few seconds before suddenly reacting: "That Princess Rosalind, won't give up on Valera?

Is she sick or something?"

Lorri smiled: "Just in case.

She won't come looking for me in a short time.

The reason why I'm so anxious is that I'm worried about something happening in the royal capital.

His Majesty Travis is expected to clean up the people in the royal palace again during this period, who knows if the Noble Affairs Office will be unlucky again.

Now this group of people, know me pretty well… well, they cooperate well.

So, hurry up and deal with it.

As for Rosalind, it is estimated that she will have to spend some time sorting out the affairs of the palace."

Cheska nodded: "I understand, I will explain it to Valera.

Is everything still the same on Qingfeng Territory?"

"Of course, there's no need to change."

"Rosalind has already put on the crown of the Icefield Queen," Travis said expressionlessly, standing at the highest point of the palace.

"Just chose to let the two of them kill each other," Arsalan said sarcastically, "They are both your daughters, as you wish."

"I would have been in a better mood if Alex hadn't appeared in the Northern Territory," Travis showed a malicious smile, "But, you see, I still have room for maneuver, but my daughters can't wait."

"How did he get in?" Arsalan finally remembered, "The monitoring magic circle of the Great Cliff was personally improved by me, and I am very sure that there is absolutely no problem."

"With the help of the Dark Night, the eyes of the warriors can still be deceived," Travis smiled coldly.

Arsalan was startled: "Is he crazy?

It's not like he can hide his identity after he comes in!"

"It's not that he's crazy, it's that he and she both intend to test my tolerance," Travis closed his eyes, "So, I won't attend this wedding, nor do I intend to let any royal family members go."

Arsalan sighed: "Originally, this is the most likely thing to happen.

No matter how much you say, no matter how much you do, they are still two countries.

How can the previous situation when we could only rely on the Northern Territory be the same as the current situation?"

Travis sneered and threw a document to Arsalan.

"What does this mean?" Arsalan stood up in surprise after quickly reading it, "They are testing your bottom line while proposing resource exchange?

In this case, the large iceberg on the right side of the Great Cliff will also be under our jurisdiction in the future, Your Majesty, are you going to accept it?

I remember that there is an ice dog breeding farm there."

"Why not?" Travis replied simply and neatly, "Just include that place in Lorri's territory, the ice dogs won't harass his territory."

"Let's not talk about the fact that Lorri's territory will be two laps larger than Hamilton's even if that place is included, the Noble Affairs Office will definitely not agree.

No matter how desolate it is, it is still within the territory, unless you plan to raise Lorri's title," Arsalan shook his head disapprovingly, "Besides, even if you want to raise it, will Lorri agree?"

"On that large iceberg, there should be one, or even several, mage relics," Travis said lightly, "For his own future, Lorri will agree."

Arsalan glanced at him: "I don't know what you are testing, but based on my understanding of Lorri, he will only scold and reject you.

He won't care about those resources and inheritance at all."

"I have my own ideas," Travis closed his eyes slightly, "Arsalan, I need to confirm one thing.

The origin of Rosalind's artifact is very problematic.

Lorri is about the same age as her, and he also possesses a fragment of an artifact that he doesn't know where it came from… I must…

Even if Lorri turns against me because of this, I must do something…

Moreover, it's not impossible for him to agree, is it?

Lorri has always been quite curious about the past."

— —

"Agree my ass!" Lorri's voice of rejection resounded through the clouds.

Not only did he stiffly reject Travis's proposal for promotion and permission for territory expansion, but he also rode his broom to the Great Cliff without hesitation, forcibly leveling and deepening the short peak connecting the Great Cliff and the iceberg, and finally opening up a large river that was fifty meters deep and thirty meters wide.

Perhaps Lorri had long been aware of it when studying underground water veins, so this large river was truly turbulent and comparable to the source of the Yellow River during the flood season.

Lorri even directly connected it to the river on the border of his territory.

The large iceberg and his territory were no longer connected.

Travis could either let the iceberg be barren and open up the right to adventurers… Of course, whether it's adventurers or someone else who goes, it's up to all parties to work hard.

Or directly send the King's army to station there.

Anyway, Lorri will definitely not let himself be led by the nose by Travis.

No matter what that guy wants to do, he doesn't intend to cooperate.

Of course, the Noble Affairs Office of the Northern Territory actually didn't intend to agree to His Majesty the King's sudden whim.

Even if the large iceberg is extremely dangerous, the place where the ice dog nest is located must be rich in resources, and the nobles of the Northern Territory have no intention of giving it away.

Even Ruthcania refused the request to help the White Dragon King and Lorri discuss it… The White Dragon Lady felt that Travis might have been thinking too much about conspiracies and tricks recently and burned out his brain.

He was obviously very cautious before.

She even took a bottle of sobering potion and poured it into Travis's mouth.

Under such circumstances, Travis could only choose to give up the idea in his heart.

However, Lorri's reaction was too Lorri, and Travis felt a lot more relieved.

The things that happened during this period made his paranoia recur, and Travis couldn't control himself from testing everyone who appeared unexpectedly.

The Valera that Lorri created has too much presence.

It almost involves several forces, and it will… definitely affect some future choices.

Travis couldn't help but test it.
