Dear Broom Knight

Fortunately, their Majesty was quite capable, even convincing Queen Rosalind that they would sincerely work for her, even to the point of causing trouble in the North.

But, come to think of it... no matter who they were loyal to, causing trouble in the North would definitely not be a problem.

Luckily, this princess was born to the White Dragon King.

The only thing that worried people was, what if Queen Rosalind gave birth to a little princess exactly like her!

Their Icefield Kingdom was not a powerful country like the North, which could send its own princess out to be a queen.

Moreover, there was no precedent in the North for princesses not to marry and just play by themselves.

Icefield princesses could only marry into some powerful noble family.

"Those so-called evil adventurers, don't you know what they are?" Rogers sneered without even raising his eyelids, "They are not even as upright as the Frost Cultists!

They are just bugs in the gutter, only doing things secretly.

It's absolutely impossible to get them to stand up directly.

Even when plotting against people, they have to make sure that the person they are plotting against is not smart enough and really easy to be fooled.

We can only appear a little stupid, so that those people will appear sooner.

Otherwise, after they finish observing, we'd probably have to wait until next winter."

Carter couldn't help but glance into the corner.

However, Barry, as a Frost Cultist, didn't care at all about Rogers' slander against his own people, and was just tossing a chilling dagger around.

"You don't need to look at him," Rogers said calmly. "Frost Cultists only have themselves in their eyes and hearts. As long as you're not scolding him by name, he doesn't care who you scold."

"Not even our Lord and His Majesty the Ice Dog King ~" Barry nimbly twirled the dagger, issuing a warning, "If you scold me, I'll at most stab you twice. If you dare to disrespect our Lord, then it's a fight to the death!"

Rogers suddenly turned his head: "I'm not stupid!"

Barry was a high-ranking cultist, who knew if there was some special existence behind his eyes?

Otherwise, why would the Frost Church send him out after knowing what Rosalind wanted to do?

The relationship between that Green Maple Lord and the Lord of Frost was already a bit incomprehensible.

Although the one who took action on the surface was that male white dragon named Bolanios, according to the Lord of Frost's personality, he should have used this opportunity to declare war on the Green Maple Lord who instructed Bolanios to slaughter the Ice Dog pack to save people, which would be normal.

However, not only did he not say a word, but he even forbade the Ice Dog pack from attacking out of the Great Ice Mountain!

The people of the North might not understand the Lord of Frost's vindictive personality, so they didn't take it seriously, but how could the Icefield people not see that there was a problem here!

Although they had heard stories about the Lord of Frost and knew about the blood relationship between him, the White Dragon King, and Ruthkania.

But blood relationships at the level of gods were basically the same as having none, which everyone also knew.

Therefore, the Icefield people actually held a bit of awe towards that Green Maple Lord.

This was also Rogers' biggest worry.

Although Barry had indeed signed a contract with them... but this thing could restrict others, but it had very little restriction on Frost believers, especially high-ranking believers.

That Lord of Frost seemed to have an ability to invalidate contracts.

Although it only worked on his own believers, being able to do it was already terrifying!

Even existences like the Lord of Storms had no way to violate contracts!

Although the Lord of Frost's personality was sinister and暴躁, the evil deeds he had committed really couldn't be compared with those of the Lord of the High Tower. Many people suspected that the Lord of Frost could be placed in the same position as the Lord of the High Tower by the Orthodox Church for suppression entirely because of his天赋神权.

Logically speaking, if one swore in the name of the Lord of Frost, Barry's contract could still be trusted somewhat... That one didn't completely block all channels for his believers to communicate with the outside world, and still left a way to swear in the name of our Lord and not be able to break it easily.

However, the words "easily" proved that as long as the Lord of Frost agreed, one could go back on their word.

But not just anyone could directly contact this evil god to get his permission, so there was still some level of trust.

It was just that when encountering existences like the Green Maple Lord who had clearly received the Lord of Frost's attention, one still had to be careful.

Therefore, there were some things that Rogers couldn't say too clearly.

For example, the reason why he was so confident was of course because that Queen Rosalind had other backup plans.

Sophia Reid.

Rogers chewed on this name, and his mind quickly recalled the communication with this beautiful lady when he left the capital.

The fact that Reid was a branch of Sebeffia was something that they, the king's close ministers, had naturally known for a long time.

Therefore, every time he met that charming lady, Rogers was very vigilant.

Even though Sophia had never really used her talent, but instead strived to demonstrate her control and leadership abilities.

She was indeed very capable.

Not only could she manage Queen Rosalind's property brought to the Icefield Kingdom in an orderly manner, but she could even make some of the estates, workshops, and shops purchased after arriving in the Icefield capital profitable.

Even if her talent made people wary, Rogers still felt that Sophia would definitely be a good wife in the future.

The Icefield nobles both suppressed the women in their families for various reasons and hoped to marry back a mistress who had the ability to advance the family to the next level.

But without sufficient education and without sufficient knight training to exercise their bodies and wills, noble girls who wanted to achieve this solely on their managerial abilities were really difficult.

It all depended on talent.

Although such girls, no matter how good their talent, would appear short-sighted due to limited horizons... but that was originally the purpose of the Icefield nobles!

The direction of the family should be controlled by the male head of the family. No matter how excellent a woman was, she could only cooperate.

There was no way around it. Before marrying a princess from the North, the Icefield queens were generally from various noble families... If they were able to clearly understand everything, how could the Icefield nobles have been able to miserably trap the Icefield royal family through their hands?

No one knew who first thought of this, or whether it was the unanimous decision of those nobles with ulterior motives.

But that was how they silently achieved this.

Rogers and the so-called loyalists only understood all of this after the princess from the North, with a large dowry, reliable subordinates, and a vigorous and tough personality, completely broke the usual precedents of the Icefield Royal Palace and threw out all the abnormal things.

Before that, their brains were like they had been frozen, and they had never thought that the marriage alliances that the first few kings of the Icefield wanted to win over those nobles with special status were the beginning of the disaster.

Or, maybe it wasn't that no one had thought of it.

It was just that those who had thought of it either had their own selfish motives and remained silent, or had to be completely silent, right?

Rogers really wanted to marry a girl like Sophia with the ability and skills for his son.

Nobles like him who were middle-aged and still had to come out and work hard generally had their own difficulties.

For example, he had a stupid son who could barely even maintain the family fortune.

The best thing he could gain from leading the team to do this was not only to gain the appreciation of His Majesty Alex and the generous rewards of Queen Rosalind, but also to ensure the future of his son.

The best official position that a small Icefield noble could hold was not those administrative officials in the royal palace, nor the secretaries in the various government departments, but the managers of various resource points, such as Lake Hanjing.

After all, the people who were truly in charge there were high-level experts.

They just didn't want to waste time dealing with daily affairs, so they threw out the title of chief official.

But those small matters of distributing the guards' salaries and managing the life of the garrison area, besides being trivial, had no burden at all.

If you made a mistake, you just had to apologize.

Moreover, with a high-level expert above them, as long as they had a little brain, they wouldn't play any useless tricks.

Being honest would allow them to live a good life, and the salary was quite good.

It was perfect for someone like his son who had no skills and no courage.

Unfortunately, although Rogers did belong to the king's camp and was considered loyal, he had no way to throw his level 3 son into this popular chief official position.

But after he accepted this task, his son could go see the ice fish directly.

Rogers originally didn't have so many ideas... Although he was sent to deal with an archmage-level figure, he didn't really have to attack that Green Maple Lord!

He was just a high-level swordsman with magical plants, and he still had some confidence.

As for that Green Maple Lord who was bound to be furious... Rogers touched the dimensional jump scroll in his arms that could allow him to escape the battlefield in an instant... Others didn't know, but he was sure he could escape.

But things didn't go as planned. Valera, the steward of Green Maple Valley, was much stronger than he had thought before he came.

Although he knew that he wouldn't lose his life, Rogers couldn't help but start looking for a new way out for himself after the failure.

Since his son was completely useless, then wouldn't it be enough to marry a woman who was definitely capable?

Although Sophia was full of trouble, as long as there were children... anyway, his son would be stationed outside all year round, so at least his grandson would definitely not have any problems.

Then he himself would just go home less often, or even not go home!

Rogers, who had finally figured out his retreat, cheered up.
