Dear Broom Knight

The most interesting thing about the Northlands these years is that the highest-ranking male nobles and the highest-ranking female nobles are not from the same family.

The banquets held by Leon are basically very formal, and the most important thing is the daytime gathering where male nobles go shirtless, wielding knives and arguing over the division of profits.

The evening 'grand reunion' banquet still takes place, but Yuri is in charge of organizing it.

No matter how delicate and handsome he looks, he is still a man with a relatively normal sexual orientation.

What Yuri finds particularly interesting and worthy of appreciation, the female nobles probably just think he's sick.

After several innovations, Yuri returned to the most basic realm of the nobility amidst jeers and sarcasm... he's actually not bad at this.

But then again, it's particularly aristocratic.

The royal family and nobles have existed in this world for too long, so long that it's difficult to come up with new tricks that conform to their so-called elegant and extravagant style.

The only thing that can surprise people is lavishly burning money.

Neither Leon nor Yuri could do such a thing... the experience of the 'Blade of the Wildcat' adventurer group has engraved the word 'save money' in their hearts.

This is also the main reason why Yuri can only put his energy into 'novelty'.

Given that neither of them are up to the task, the banquets in the Hamilton County are notoriously dull, everyone is just going through the motions, and they leave as quickly as possible when the time comes.

A short time is okay, but if it's a long time, the noble ladies definitely can't accept this result.

Not to mention their usual diplomatic efforts, but... their children's marriages also need proper banquets to arrange!

But the aristocratic society is like this, it looks very free, but in essence, there is a clear hierarchy.

If the banquet is not held in the Hamilton territory, how would other nobles travel far to attend, except for close friends?

That can easily be misunderstood by the outside world... either they've hooked up, or they're inferior.

For nobles, this is something that absolutely cannot be done casually.

There was no choice, the noble ladies of the Northern Territory could only write letters to ask for help from Lady Yagris.

Only this former frontier lord's wife, the current Countess Dowager Montes, the mother of the Qingfeng Territory Lord who has a close relationship with the king, has the qualifications to suppress all dissent.

Lady Yagris didn't want to agree at first, she knew that Lorry hated trouble, so she was unwilling to take on these matters.

She also couldn't hold these banquets at Montes Castle.

What Fabrice needs now is to minimize his presence as much as possible.

Fortunately, the most outstanding person in the Montes family now is Lorry, who has the most distant relationship with the Montes family, allowing Fabrice to hide reasonably.

Many people haven't forgotten about this Earl Montes, but with Lorry shining brightly, they will definitely try to avoid showing that they have a good relationship with Fabrice.

Even if Lorry Montes doesn't seem to hold a grudge against this grand-nephew.

Which noble hasn't seen stories of enemies unknowingly turning to ashes while laughing and talking?

No one wants to become cannon fodder for no reason.

This situation is not a bad thing for Lorry... being considered vindictive and ruthless is definitely better than being thought of as a kind person.

But Leon, the Earl of Hamilton, who everyone thinks will soon marry and have children, just manages to hold on for several years, continuing to be his happy bachelor, and it looks like he can continue to be happy.

He has a reason to live long, but what about others?

Most people can accept not having diplomatic engagements and suspending marriages for a few years... the most anxious people can still reach an initial understanding at that awkward Hamilton dinner party.

After all, for the sake of knightly training, most nobles only start considering marriage in their twenties.

If they have the ability to become great knights and their families are not in a hurry to form alliances, then they can completely delay this time until after 30 or 40 years old.

Anyway, the stronger and more sturdy the knight's body, the less afraid they are of not being able to have children.

If they are preparing for marriage at the age of twenty, everyone knows that this child has basically nothing to look forward to except for the title and bloodline.

Face is just an added value here.

Most nobles will only choose the former between a wife who is average-looking but has decent knightly talent and a wife who is beautiful but basically has no talent.

But if the dowry... whether from the man's side or the woman's side... is enough to make up for the difference, it's not impossible to compromise slightly.

But the most basic premise of all this is that both parties must be of noble origin.

Nobles have always been realistic.

Their love stories are also within a certain range... they can love to the death with rival families, but they will never fall in love with a commoner without talent.

Most of those who 'date' ordinary people will basically get a proper contractual marriage first.

In this way, if their illegitimate children have talent, they can enter their respective families and become low-ranking collateral branches.

But children who don't have talent can only stay with their ordinary parents for the rest of their lives.

Love has no value in the face of the reality that all children have no talent.

Therefore, the marriage of proper nobles, especially small nobles, requires a long period of observation.

One failure will greatly damage their vitality, and it will not be easy to recover, let alone go further.

But no matter how long this observation period is, it's basically only five or six years.

The earliest batch had already reached an understanding when there were still banquets at Montes Castle, so even if the banquets in the Hamilton County are awkward, they can reach an agreement.

But what about the ones behind?

Who would dare to make a decision based only on rumors and superficial interactions!

In the world of nobles, these banquets that wander between romance and lewdness, sway between cunning and madness, and are soaked in ambiguity and alcohol, are the easiest places to see the quality of a young man.

If someone can really have enough self-control in this kind of place... then isn't that the best marriage partner for their children?

Anyway, as long as the marriage is established, the husband and wife are the closest allies, even if they intrigue against each other, even if they are indifferent to each other, they are still very clear that only their respective positions are consistent.

The smarter and more self-controlled people are, the more they understand the immovability of this alliance.

However, under Yuri's control, all the Hamilton dinner parties are very proper.

They are clearly two bachelors who used to have lovers all over the world, but I don't know how they have lived their lives like this!

The Northern Territory nobles can only scold and cry and continue to ask Lady Yagris to come forward.

After all, in the past few years, the banquets held at Montes Castle have been perfect.

Lady Yagris does know the reason why those two good-for-nothings, who are also quite romantic by nature, are doing this.

Milian.

Although he acted as if he exposed his brother's secret directly in order to have something to talk about with Valeria, in essence, Leon and Yuri were indirectly telling Lorry and Lady Yagris about their difficulties.

Those banquets are very important to the nobles, but to the two of them, they are a big trouble.

Compared to those young and promising small nobles, Yuri and Leon are the most suitable marriage partners!

Although if they get married, most girls can't even get close to Leon, Yuri, who only has the title of Baron, is not completely unimaginable.

Moreover, as someone who doesn't have elders to make decisions for him, if Leon really takes a fancy to someone, he can also look down a little.

That's all.

The really scary thing is those noble ladies who no longer have any worries and want to test the quality of their daughters first.

The hardest hit area is Yuri.

Although Yuri thinks he can endure it, anyway, it's just the social month that starts from the Winter Solstice and ends on New Year's Day.

But Leon is unwilling.

He can make some concessions in order to take over as Earl of Hamilton, but after already obtaining the submission of the Northern Territory nobles, he is unwilling to wrong Yuri, who has worked so hard for him, for such a boring thing.

Originally, these things are not the responsibility of the county, and he has the confidence to subtly refuse.

In fact, the Northern Territory nobles don't misunderstand Leon's meaning, they know even more clearly that some of them have gone too far.

The key is that the Earl of Hamilton can really openly say 'The reason why I hold this kind of dinner party is that I don't want to see your wife in my bed'.

Even those nobles who are relatively innocent don't want to hear the names of their neighbors resounding throughout the country in this way.

Therefore, no one dares to force Leon.

They can only rely on the always tolerant Lady Yagris.

But Lady Yagris is not stupid either.

If the crazy women dare to attack Leon and Yuri, wouldn't they dare to attack her Lorry?

Her son can be romantic, he can be old-fashioned, but he must not be tricked by a group of crazy women.

Originally, after a few years of tossing around, the Hamilton County was a little shaken... as a result, Leon's identity took a complete turn.

Although no one thinks they have a chance to get to the top, the king's lover is also an official identity!

Even the crazy women have a chance.

Even the ladies and young ladies who had never participated in these things before are a little restless.

Yuri is even more fierce than when his own innocence was threatened before.

The Northern Territory's affairs finally escalated to the Noble Affairs Office and His Majesty King Travis.

Although the Noble Affairs Office also feels that this matter is a bit unclear, as the spokesperson for the rights of the nobles, they will definitely be proactive in any matter that can create problems for His Majesty the King.

No matter what they think in their hearts, they will definitely not let the King's life be too smooth.

A king who thinks he can do everything is a huge threat.
