Dear Broom Knight

Ortiz hesitated for a moment before saying, "Things are always different in the army. Even the former Earl Montes, in the army, was a man of his word and valued friendship."

He cautiously glanced at Valera: "But after returning to the territory to inherit the title... it became like that, didn't it?"

Valera twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, giving him a forced smile.

Although the goal was achieved, this reaction was really irritating.

Isn't this the same as telling her that Lady Yagris made a misjudgment because she confused Montes in the army with him as the border earl!

These Montes people, although they don't dare to say much, always want the Qingfeng Territory people to understand a little about that Earl Montes who died happily.

Understand my ass!

Whether it's Lorry or Lady Yagris, they have actually stopped dwelling on the past.

But they also don't think that, with their character, they would do the same thing as Earl Montes if they encountered the same situation.

So, people who travel different paths cannot make plans together. It's best for everyone to go their own way.

Now, the ones who are really reluctant, reminiscing about the past, and always wanting to drag Qingfeng Territory into the water, are actually these Montes people.

But, it's also these people who cheerfully agreed and echoed when Earl Montes made his choice.

People, when they want everything, they actually understand it themselves, especially people like Ortiz who don't have such thick skin.

So, his speech is always weak.

It just looks annoying.

Anyway, her goal has been achieved. At least Ortiz doesn't seem to be thinking too much.

Valera didn't plan to do anything, just wanted to help Grand Knight Esra fill in the gaps in his new persona.

Otherwise, based on his original performance in the army, the Grand Knight should have rushed out long ago and thrown the Watson family out.

Even if a few children died because of his 'irritability,' he shouldn't be so quiet.

Valera deeply admired Earl Esra's endurance.

This is indeed the best way to deal with Watson's cheap trick, but ordinary people really can't stand it.

If you don't count Esra's past glory in the army, for ordinary nobles, this is one of the few highlights of their lives.

Even many natural enemies who don't get along won't cause trouble on this day.

The Watson family is betting on this.

If they win, they sacrifice the lives of a few children, but the power holders, led by the Baron, can not only save their lives, but even retain some of their power... Children are always the most watched soft spot.

Regardless of whether Esra actually did it or not, as long as he takes action, then he did it.

He can only learn to shout 'I can't explain myself,' and then never attack the Watson family again, until he completely controls the Northern Territory fifty years later... Grand Knight Esra is not that long-lived.

If he could really last for 50 years, he wouldn't have come out of the army!

If they lose, it's just that they will gradually be squeezed out of the upper power circle of the Northern Territory. As long as the war is not nationwide, their Watson family is still a barony.

Either endure until the new Earl Hamilton takes office, or learn from the former baron of Qingfeng Territory and exchange territories with someone.

Valera thinks that Baron Watson should have the opportunity to exchange territories, otherwise he wouldn't dare to gamble so much.

Otherwise, even if he wins the bet, what good will it do?

Watching his family decline little by little won't be good either.

But if it's just to buy some time, then it can be understood.

Valera sighed slightly, a trace of bitterness rising in her heart... for those few ignorant children, who were thrown into the hall in fear and at a loss.

She can't help them, otherwise, she would be causing trouble for her lord.

At this moment, Valera immediately understood why Baron Watson had to make his daughter have a good relationship with Chesca.

It would be best if Sophia could walk to Lorry's side. If not, if she could get on the good side of Chesca, the chief steward of Qingfeng Territory, she could also be used.

If, according to outsiders' predictions, the one sent here by Lorry was Tyler, the simplest, most direct, and most daring of her siblings, knowing that Sophia Watson had a friendship with Chesca, he might really have compassion for these children.

Valera gritted her teeth secretly.

Has Tyler's personality and temper been figured out so clearly by outsiders?

She actually knows that knights, especially knights leading a group, must have some compassion and a sense of loyalty in their bones... Cold-blooded people can't do unity work.

Lorry has also been trying to protect Tyler's persistence, sensibility, and instinct to protect his own people.

After all, for newly established knight orders like theirs, the style established by the commander is very important.

If the knights following the commander don't have enough trust and reliance on him, then the knight formation can't generate enough resonance.

Don't look at how fiercely the nobles fight each other, but as long as it is a thriving country, everyone will try to avoid dragging the army, especially the middle-level officers, into the water.

Even if the chief officers in the army have certain positions, they have all come out of the stage where they only need to strive for military merits, kill enemies on the battlefield, and train in the field, without having to consider human relationships too much.

After the noble young masters and young ladies enter the army, if they want to climb up, they look at the military merits and connections they have obtained in the army, and external forces are of no use at all.

Even a strong person like King White Dragon can only ensure that the interests of his own people are not violated, but cannot directly promote his own people.

In the noble territories, most of the knight orders are actually similar to adventure groups. The knights inside mainly play a role of vigilance and defense. The real combat is not much different from individual soldiers.

At most, they won't easily desert in battle.

Otherwise, the Yagris Knight Order wouldn't have reached one of the top positions in the Montes Territory in just twenty years.

Lorry has always loved his subordinates. Both knight orders, even the Castle Knight Order, which is more loosely organized, are built according to the model of the army knight order.

Those castle knights, although they have many small thoughts, as long as Tyler is always the strongest, fair and just, they can also wholeheartedly follow him.

The army knight order is actually nothing more than that. How could it be 'the boss is on top, everyone swears to follow him to the death' from the beginning!

On the contrary, the form of the knight order of Mal and Komran is relatively rare, and there are not many even in the army... If a knight order can reach their level, they can immediately become an independent regiment directly under the command of the commander.

Of course, Valera is very happy to see Lorry's attitude... Tyler is also her little brother whom she raised!

Of course, she hopes that this child will get better and better, at least live to the age that a grand knight should have.

But now, someone has already started trying to take advantage of Tyler's frankness and directness that has been fostered by love.

After all, they are not the army, and they will not hesitate when outsiders take action.

Valera made up her mind to tighten Tyler's skin when she gets back, and make him recite the 'things to do and not to do' fluently before talking about anything else.

Also, she understands why Sophia has been implying to Chesca not to be too good to her.

What a sensible person.

But Valera can understand that, in a place like the Watson family where they can casually throw out their young as cannon fodder, if you live to Sophia's age and still don't know that the people you should be most wary of are your own, then you are too stupid.

In fact, you can also see a little of the Watson family's indifference from the performance of those few children. Those children were crying so miserably, but they didn't help each other, but cried their own way.

Including the youngest one, did not try to seek help from the sobbing brother and sister next to him.

Then Valera remembered the social season next year that the girl mentioned.

Well, as someone who can resonate with that girl to some extent, Valera is very clear that the happiest time for people like them is probably when the family is destroyed!

A little interesting.

She gently licked her lower lip, and a slight fierce light appeared in her eyes.

"It's almost time, Valera." Ortiz, who had been watching the situation over there with his arms crossed against the pillar, let out a long breath.

Finally, it's over.

These children can really cry, and the Watson family is really shameless.

He just saw someone from the Watson family poking their head in the corner!

Now, he can very well understand why Earl Esra would rather have his pre-employment night banquet completely ruined than come out.

"Let's go!" Valera patted her carefully matched beautiful long dress, not caring that her grand appearance had become unnoticed, and decisively led the way to the door.

"Those people, are they really that bored, they have to see the end?" Ortiz muttered, following behind.
