Dear Broom Knight

One of my cousins-in-law looked grim, but could only slightly lower her body: "Please forgive my rudeness, Miss Watson."

"Of course, unintentional mistakes are always worth forgiving." Sophia Watson raised her chin and said something very annoying in a very playful tone.

Cheska silently put away the slight displeasure that had arisen since hearing the girl's name.

Although the other party seemed to be interested in Lowry, Sophia Watson herself was very much in line with the temperament a noble lady should have.

Cheska shouldn't underestimate her.

Having witnessed how Valera struggled in an environment surrounded by enemies, she shouldn't look down on any girl who works hard for her future.

There is nothing wrong with being ambitious and wanting to be better, especially for those girls who are unlucky and live in a cruel family.

Not everyone has Valera's luck, or Mrs. Yagris's strength... Some girls, even with great talent, can become more expensive luxury goods.

The bright, pure, and large gem displayed in the counter, no matter how perfect it looks, is still a commodity that can be taken away with money.

She is already beautiful, but in order to make her look even more beautiful, the seller will use various means to smooth out every edge and cut out countless beautiful but harmless facets... making her, who was originally round and full, lose the flesh and blood that makes her powerless to resist.

Even with many schemes and means, normal people can only choose to endure when they are not strong enough.

As long as the means she takes are harmless to them and do not affect the Lord, Cheska should not look down on her.

She leaned against the wall, silently watching the two people go through the final pleasantries with extremely standard methods... one trying to show the humiliation of being bullied with her age and posture, and the other secretly mocking with polite language without any politeness, but her heart rippled.

If they were standing here... they would only give Sophia Watson, the daughter of a proper baronet, the most perfect smile.

Cheska cut off the arrogance that had been rising in her heart during this time, and couldn't help but feel a little fortunate: whether she was carried away or not, in her heart, loyalty to Lowry was always the first priority.

She would never take charge of those important things herself because of Lowry's tolerance.

When facing Mrs. Yagris, her idol since childhood, Cheska was still the little girl with eyes full of longing, and would never show too much confidence.

Plus, the dragons in the castle... although arrogance has come suddenly, it has not yet swelled up.

Then she was discovered.

That's great.

She didn't do anything that would disappoint the Baron!

Although she knew very well that the Baron would not be dissatisfied with her being too arrogant and indifferent to outsiders, at most he would subtly remind her... Lowry would always tell them four siblings the truth and remind them directly.

But Cheska herself was unwilling.

This is different from the mistakes that occurred in the past due to insufficient ability and vision. This is a matter of character.

Forgetting one's roots has always been the source of bad things.

Lowry may not care, but she can't.

The subtle conversations gradually disappeared.

Cheska looked up and looked at the courtyard with only one person left.

Sophia Watson was still there.

"I want to stay here for a while, may I?" Seeing Cheska's gaze, Sophia Watson asked with an embarrassed look.

Really, a very good actress~ Even better than her sister Valera.

Thinking of some unreliable words, Cheska gave her a smile: "Such a beautiful courtyard is originally a good match for a beautiful little girl.

Please feel free, I can also enjoy the pleasing scenery."

Sophia Watson was a little surprised, and a hint of surprise flashed in those unwavering blue eyes.

Although it disappeared quickly, it was also the most real performance Cheska had seen from her in so long.

Even when mocking the young master who was originally talking about marriage with her, Sophia Watson didn't actually have much emotional fluctuation.

Although her parents are not good people, the Toler couple did leave some benefits for their siblings.

Except for Taylor who is slightly worse, the other three are all good at observing people's expressions.

Valera and Charles have a little more acting skills.

Although Cheska didn't add points in acting, she relied on her expressionless face and observation of her sister, and she was quite experienced.

This girl has superb acting skills, but what she plays is acting after all.

Cheska could tell by intuition.

Although she didn't know why Cheska suddenly changed her attitude towards her, Sophia Watson immediately seized the opportunity.

This was originally her best skill.

"Ms. Cheska, that person just now, seemed to be here to make trouble for you?" She raised her small face and tried to widen her eyes. A trace of moisture that was slightly rippling because of being torn covered her pupils, making her expression look sincere, pitiful, and cute. "You, have you offended her?"

"I, indeed don't remember who she is." Cheska smiled, "However, looking at her age, she should be about the same as my sister."

"Valera, Madam?" Sophia Watson quickly understood the reason.

Valera's past is not a secret, and the nobles in the Northern Territory even know a lot of news clearly.

Especially the most embarrassing period when she was sent to the social event for lower nobles.

The woman just now was actually not bad in strength. She was at least a formal knight, but she could only marry the youngest son of a baronial family who didn't even have the title of manor knight. Naturally, she was also one of the people selected at those banquets.

Although as the wife and daughter of the Baron's brother, she is still qualified to enter this kind of noble marriage meeting in the Northern Territory, she herself does not have an invitation and can only be brought in by the Baroness.

In their family, where the wife is a formal knight and the husband only has bloodline but no ability, they generally do not move away from the noble castle and will inevitably depend on the Baron for life.

If they give birth to children with good qualifications, they will be recognized by the Baron, just like now, being brought by the Baroness to engage in noble social interactions.

For some female knights who don't have a good background but want to enter the noble ranks, this is actually a very good life.

It is conceivable that the lady was more popular than Valera, who only had beauty, at the banquet that year, otherwise she would not have married a husband in his prime.

Sophia Watson certainly knew which family she was from.

Although Sophia herself had never participated in such banquets, she had indeed seen them.

The Watson family pursues a wolf-like family. Useless people must work hard to make themselves fully utilized.

After the girls' awakening ceremony at the age of eight, regardless of whether their talent is good or not, they will be taken to visit such banquets to let them understand how terrifying the future will be if they don't work hard.

Of course, boys also have their own destinations. Although it is a different style, it can be seen from their desperate efforts after they come back that it is not a normal place either.

Just like Sophia Watson and her cousins, after seeing those girls who are either beautiful, or talented, or both, put themselves in such a lowly position, just to please a few men who are older than their fathers, or the trash they have never looked up to, they have hardly ever slackened off.

Even if their talent is insufficient, they have to work hard until the last second, even if they faint on the training ground every day.

Even if they faint, it doesn't mean that their task for the day is over.

After being woken up by cold water and eating a nutritious but tasteless dinner, they still have to work hard to learn etiquette, upbringing, noble common sense, and other knowledge.

If you want to get rid of it, either marry out after adulthood... marry out well, or stay in the border army for ten years, and you can get a little freedom after you come back.

But the premise of all this is that you cannot lose the Watson family's face outside.

Most of the boys and girls in the Watson family choose the latter path.

After all, wanting to find happiness in the arranged marriages of the family is no different from seeking death.

The Watson family never tolerates those who escape.

The same goes for people with insufficient talent. They can't enter the formal army, but they can go to the logistics department. Of course, more of them follow talented brothers and sisters to take care of their luggage and horses.

Sophia Watson had actually accepted such a future.

At least she still has a choice.

However, things are unpredictable, and no one knows which cloud will rain.

The Northern Territory happened to change lords one after another, and Lord Lyon's control over the border army was mainly based on logistics and did not intervene in the formal military sequence.

Baron Watson, as a rare level 15 Great Knight in the Northern Territory, still has so many Watsons at his disposal, so he naturally had some thoughts.

He didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to expand the Watson family's power in the border army.

Even if Lyon Hamilton finds out, he won't care too much, anyway, they are not his people.

But Lyon is going to be king.

The Northern Territory is about to have a big shot who has been deeply involved in the King's army for I don't know how many years, and is even stronger than him.

Baron Watson would not have any luck. The one who comes will definitely find a way to contain him.

Baron Watson still has some resistance to the affairs in the army, but the territory is in trouble.

The baronial territory wants to fight against the Border Earl?

He is not Lowry Montes, who can make all power struggles disappear in front of him.

After thinking about it, Baron Watson saw his little daughter, who was quite beautiful and young.
