Dear Broom Knight

The northern nobles have always been highly wary of the High Tower Church.

Mainly because he always pulls in more than one church force as a cover when he takes action.

Those orthodox churches can do too much when they have an excuse to eliminate evil forces.

Sometimes, heretics at most kill some people, but when the orthodox churches come in, you'd be lucky if only half your family died.

Most nobles expect others to make sacrifices for justice.

Basically, no one wants to put themselves in the limelight.

Who knows what big rock they'll crash into and be utterly destroyed.

And that's just the danger posed by the high-ranking clergy of the High Tower.

Baron Watson is facing the Lord of the High Tower himself.

"Then this is troublesome!" Ezra took a deep breath, "The words we got out of Watson aren't very credible."

Baron Watson himself may not even know who he's working for.

Moreover, probably a third of the Watson family, from top to bottom, is compromised… The Lord of the High Tower certainly wouldn't mind connecting them to other churches.

The thought of another tangled mess gave Ezra a headache.

He thought for a long time before saying, "How about we bring Almus back?"

"What do you want to do?" Countess Hamilton frowned, "If Al had time, why would he let someone else bring things back for him?

You can handle it, don't try to trick my son!"

Ezra smiled awkwardly and turned to stare at Bowen: "Bowen must miss his son too!"

"Don't…" Bowen was about to retort, but suddenly looked up, "Baron Watson went over there!

Aren't you two watching? That's Miss Pearl!"

Normally, he would remember to be polite, unless these two were being too outrageous.

Is this a time to be distracted?

Ezra was stunned for a moment before turning to look at the hall: "It seems that since I learned he could be killed by someone from the Frost Church, I suddenly dropped my guard against Watson."

The Countess also slowly walked over: "Perhaps it's because we have enough confidence in our daughter?"

"It's better to say that Miss Macmillan, who can go back and forth with our young master Al, is very trustworthy."

Bowen, dissatisfied with being completely outmaneuvered by this couple, didn't hesitate to expose their secrets.

Who doesn't know who?

If Miss Pearl had those skills, how could her family protect her so tightly?

Young men and women at a certain stage are bound to be interested in certain things.

Many parents who are confident in their daughters' minds and methods will let them see life under the influence of money and pleasure.

Noble ladies like to keep gigolos, but it's rare for them to be taken advantage of, because they've seen a lot since they were young.

Even if she's not happy, at least she can save her life.

Even an arranged marriage is better than losing control of the situation and being controlled by others.

Miss Pearl is the kind of child who can't even handle an arranged marriage.

It's not that she's innocent, but that she's easily influenced.

Bowen couldn't help but sigh… He had just regarded Miss Macmillan as an opponent!

Why is he standing with her now?

To put it nicely, Earl Hamilton only suspects Baron Watson's position and disagrees with some of his actions, but he doesn't regard him as an enemy.

To put it bluntly, what does the internal strife of the Storm Church have to do with them?

It's better to be an observer, how can they put themselves on the same side as Macmillan!

Although Miss Pearl didn't feel that she and Macmillan had become allies, her behavior of not retreating to the side after introducing the two sides, but instead standing behind Miss Macmillan, gave people that impression.

She must have been influenced to forget this.

Those who know her will definitely know, but… how many people in the North know her?

Looking at the gazes, near and far, clear and hidden, you can tell that most people are a little worried about the Hamilton family's position.

Sure enough, no one wants to get involved in the internal strife of the Storm Church.

—

Pearl, who didn't know what had happened, was still listening carefully to the greetings and exchanges between the two, her expression a little strained.

"Miss Macmillan, if you stay in the North a little longer, you must go to the Great Ice Mountain to play." Baron Watson had completed the initial process of acquaintance and began to introduce the North, "I don't know if Miss Pearl has mentioned it? The most exciting place in our North right now is there."

He even slightly slandered Pearl.

After all, the Hamiltons may not want Macmillan to stay here for so long, and may even cause trouble in Qingfeng Territory.

"Pearl just mentioned it." Serestia replied calmly, "However, I probably don't have that much time.

I can't spend the winter in the North, can I?

As the heir of the Macmillan family, I have to attend the year-end celebration and the opening ceremony!

After all, the person presiding over the ceremony… You should know, Baron Watson.

Is my great-uncle."

Pearl's eyes flickered slightly, but although she involuntarily showed a listening attitude, she was still rational, and her expression didn't change much.

Then, seemingly realizing her mistake, she gracefully and slowly retreated from the two people who were 'enthusiastically' communicating and walked to the dining table, seemingly suddenly interested in the snacks on it.

—

"The recovery was timely." Ezra laughed.

"That's right, she reminded them on purpose!" Countess Hamilton replied rationally.

"It's good that she can understand~ Madam." Ezra said solemnly, "We used to protect her too well. It's good that Pearl can do this.

Moreover, I believe that we can still protect her in the future.

It's just that we didn't let her see those cruelties with her own eyes, and we taught her everything seriously. Pearl is not the kind of stupid child who throws her parents' words to the wind. You don't have to be so nervous, dear."

Countess Hamilton reached out a hand and gently pressed it against her forehead: "Hoo… I lost my composure!"

"How can the panic caused by worrying that your daughter will be hurt be a loss of composure?" Ezra calmly pulled down her hand and held it in his palm, "Believe in our children and ourselves.

At this point, we have enough ability to ensure that our children are not harmed, or, when they rush towards danger and fail to resist and fall down, to lift them up.

Dear, I know you don't want the children to be hurt even a little bit, but this is not something we can completely control.

Children always have their own little thoughts, and you can't suppress them."

Countess Hamilton's eyes warmed slightly, and she couldn't help but rest her head on Ezra's shoulder.

She was really worried.

Bowen raised his head from behind the table full of documents, looked out through the gap, pursed his lips and couldn't help but smile, and immediately took it back… It was rare for this Madam to show such weakness.

He was slightly distracted for a while.

Having been a military advisor in the army for so many years and in charge of the promotion and demotion of many officers, Bowen was actually very clear about Countess Hamilton's so-called 'weaknesses', including Madam Yagris as well. Their most important problem was that they valued emotions too much.

This can be done when managing a legion, and subordinates are willing to follow such a chief officer.

But when it comes to the top level, when a plan may affect the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people, emotion is the easiest thing to go wrong.

An overly merciful commander will inevitably be unable to watch his subordinates fight a 'potentially' certain death battle.

Indeed, some people can let reason overcome emotion over time, and finally stand on the command platform with remorse and issue those orders that concern the lives and deaths of countless people.

But some people can never do it.

Ezra is actually much more cruel than he shows, but he does have a soft side in his heart.

But this side also needs to be entrusted.

The reason why Ezra gave up those marriage partners that the royal family found for him that could bring him huge benefits and pursued the Countess who was half abandoned by the family and whose dowry was definitely not rich enough was because he saw those shining points in his wife.

Those emotions that might not be 'too good' as a chief officer are the sincerity that many people want but can't get.

Ezra finally got what he wanted, a firm but loving wife, a smart and lovely daughter, and a trustworthy and stable eldest son.

Although the North seems to be a world ruled by men, smart people understand the importance of the mistress to a family.

It's just that most people will choose benefits over warmth.

Following Ezra like this, Bowen naturally chose a loving marriage back then… It's just a pity that a warm family can't pull back the time at the limit.

Bowen blinked slightly. He seemed to miss his son.

"Of course, I didn't think about letting Miss Macmillan stay until the great wind season next spring." Baron Watson smiled brightly, "But autumn has always been the harvest season for the Great Ice Mountain!

Even if you don't go up the mountain, you can see all the specialties of the Great Ice Mountain in the adventurer camp.

There are even resources and products from various countries!"

He said mysteriously, "The last time I went, I even bought a Wind Ring."

"What?" Serestia suddenly raised her head and stared at him without blinking.

"Really~" Baron Watson said triumphantly, "High Priest Schroeder liked it very much after seeing it and spent a lot of money to exchange it from me."

"That's really a pity!" Serestia regained her composure, "Of course our family would want it too.

After all, it's the symbol of the Storm Knights!"
