Dear Broom Knight

#52 - The Earl of Careful Care

After all, Alex would be the master of the Montes Territory in the future.

The people of the Yagris Knights would certainly not want to change their position, let alone fawn over Alex.

They had been by Yagris's side for so long without being won over by Count Gezhar, so their self-esteem and willpower could be considered strong.

But they could not possibly work under a little girl like Cheska… The gap between them was too great.

Therefore, they would only wholeheartedly build their original knight order, allowing the Yagris Knights to operate independently from now on, becoming an independent force.

Lady Yagris had to separate herself so clearly from Count Montes, actually because she didn't want his hand to reach too far.

Between the two of them, Yagris would definitely live longer. Her performance was actually a clear statement… Once that time came, Lady Yagris would move directly to Lori's side.

Pat also strongly agreed with Yagris's decision. Although Lori was strange, she definitely loved her mother very much.

Therefore, in Lady Yagris's circle of influence, the most awkward position now belonged to the Tole couple.

They were actually the most shrewd, quick-witted, and easily swayed couple in the knight order.

Of course, they would definitely not betray Yagris, but sometimes, once some things were done, they would give others an opportunity to take advantage.

That was why Yagris had instructed Lori to choose Cheska as her first attendant back then, right?

Back then, it wasn't that other people's children hadn't awakened at the same time as Cheska, and their strength was almost the same.

It was just that, at that time, everyone thought that Yagris was doing this to win over their restless subordinates.

But now it seemed that Yagris actually felt that there was no need to care about the Tole couple at all. It was just that those few children were a little pitiful. Leaving their parents was the best choice for them.

As for Mar and Komlan, although the result was the same, the reasons were very different… Those two were just like copies of their own father.

They were both people who would live as long as they could and muddle through, completely dependent on whether the people they followed had a conscience.

Young Master Lori might have many minor flaws, but he was definitely as good to his own people as his own mother.

Whether the Tole couple could keep the third child, who had always lived with them but was not very valued, from sneaking off to Baron Gezhar's territory after adulthood, was no one's business, and not a bad thing.

Anyway, they had always been good at playing both sides, and even if they couldn't return to the knight order, they wouldn't be ostracized by the earl's original subordinates.

Logically speaking, she really only needed to wait for Count Montes's funeral to end before moving to Lori's side with Lady Yagris.

Although it wasn't so glorious, this was originally Yagris's dream, and it was also their best way out.

However… Pat stared at the man who was discussing the three children's education philosophy with Lady Alex with a righteous smile, and her heart was burning like fire.

Some things, even if they would no longer be remembered in the dead of night, would still be like a candy stuck in the throat, impossible to swallow or spit out.

The current happiness and the future beauty had all turned into gorgeous dresses torn into pieces in this instant, meaningless.

Pat looked up at the sky… The past thirty years were a stolen period of time for her.

She stared at the old acquaintance again and slowly retreated into the shadows.

No one noticed her movements among the people who were talking loudly and walking towards the central castle in the afterglow of dusk.

But, not everyone was oblivious.

In the third-floor study, a fully armed knight respectfully reported to Count Montes.

Count Montes nodded: "Yagris won't let her subordinates mix with my two stupid sons, but she can't send these people to Lori either, so she can only let them have a better relationship with our territory's direct knight order.

That's not bad either. Our knight order really needs enough new blood.

Even if they won't only work for the Montes family, so what?

The earldom is our family's greatest confidence."

"Pat has been monitoring the scholar sent by the Natalie family," a well-dressed gentleman standing next to the earl's desk said softly, "What do you think that guy's background is?

Is it, the court side…"

"Logically speaking, no," Count Montes pondered for a while before answering, "But Pat must have seen this person before and felt that he was very dangerous, so she is so cautious.

According to the original position of the Gezhar family, that guy is likely related to Count Gezhar.

But, as long as it's not an open intersection, we can't control too much.

The latest ⊥ novel ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ books ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ release!

Just control Alex."

"Baron Barty's side… Do we need to remind him again?" The staff asked meaningfully.

"During this time, help me see if there are any good girls from the new nobles who have come of age," Count Montes curled his lips into a cruel smile, "It just so happens that Masud doesn't have any children yet."

"Yes! My Lord Earl."

"My Lord Earl…" A soft call came from outside the study, "It's time for the banquet."

The fully armed knight quickly gave a salute and left through the secret door of the smoothly opened bookshelf like flowing water.

The staff then got up and walked to the door, opening the one-way soundproof door: "My Lord Earl will be down soon."

The night was dark, but the bottom hall of Montes Castle was brightly lit.

Count Montes Castle held a very rare banquet attended only by the old Northern nobles… Although Lady Yagris was an old-fashioned noble, she was also considered a representative of the new nobles.

With her there, the new nobles would inevitably flock to her.

But at the banquet hosted by Alex and Natalie, the new nobles were clearly in a wait-and-see state.

Although Count Montes was unwilling to see this situation and was shocked by the stupidity of his eldest son, he did not do much, considering that he could solve most of the problems at once.

The new nobles who did not receive a formal invitation would probably understand the earl's intentions tomorrow and would not care too much.

Yes… Alex was so stupid that when he discovered that the new nobles were harboring doubts and hesitating, he did not send invitations to every noble belonging to the earl.

He still let them come voluntarily according to the casual situation in the past.

Could this be the same?

When Lady Yagris held her first formal banquet, she personally wrote invitation letters to everyone who was qualified to enter the earl's castle!
