Dear Broom Knight

Nowhere else would these female professionals receive such preferential treatment.

The Lord of Green Maple Territory doesn't particularly care about gender differences; he only has one requirement: the ability to abide by the rules, a willingness to be loyal to the territory, and a genuine commitment of their energy.

Even the Green Maple Knight Order, known for its combat prowess and endurance, includes several female knights.

This was almost impossible before.

Even if these female knights possessed the talent and were willing to endure the hardship, the lords would still assign them to castle guard duties.

It wasn't out of foolish gender discrimination—genuine nobles wouldn't reveal any biases they might have—but rather… creating two sets of service and living areas for their knight order, just for a few female knights, was too troublesome and wasteful.

Women have too many inconveniences; even bathing requires dedicated areas… Even if they themselves don't mind, it would subject the lord to public criticism.

These concessions were only tolerated during times of war.

In a male-dominated era of peace, female knights were naturally the ones sacrificed, as no lord was willing to spend the money… Without a voice, most female talents lost some autonomy after awakening; what they learned differed from what men learned, especially as differences in strength began to emerge.

By the time they reached the professional stage, they couldn't understand why they were inferior to men, so they naturally accepted the status quo.

For the Northern Lands' upper echelons, the most talented common children, regardless of gender, were sent to the King's army for training; they wouldn't care about the fate of those in the middle tiers.

Moreover, when everything had to be solved with magic arrays and manpower, without running water, electric heating, or washing machines, one can imagine how expensive it would be to build a dedicated knight order camp.

Only territories ruled by women would bother with such things.

Male rulers would naturally choose to sacrifice the other side.

But in the beginning, when children first displayed their talents, how could it always be the boys who dominated?

Talent can indeed be nurtured, but it's basically random.

However, when boys and girls began to show differences in strength, people naturally felt that only men were the main force on the battlefield… Of course, in the Dark Night Region or some female-dominated areas, women were vigorously cultivated because of their keen senses, tenacious endurance, and strong control.

Men would also be relegated to secondary choices due to some weaknesses in their nature, some areas where they were inferior to women.

Therefore, there are many male adventurers in the South… They couldn't accept the fate of being second-class citizens despite having talent.

The main reason why many girls in the North, especially in the Northern Lands, choose to return to their families is that the environment is too good.

Indeed, some people in the lower classes make choices that ruin their children… They wouldn't cherish their sons either, but most children, as long as they have some talent, can basically find a way out.

Being a servant in a castle is also a good job!

He and his wife struggled to carve out a place for themselves with great difficulty, and there's no need for them to force their daughter, whom they can definitely protect for a lifetime, to wade into that bitter water.

Although Isra is doing well now, when he looks back on the road he's traveled, he clearly understands how many dangers he's experienced and how many times he almost went astray.

His wife is the same; in fact, she really took the wrong path, leading to a dead end.

As long as Pearl is willing, Isra is happy to support her for life.

But equally, Isra also respects these strong individuals who have emerged from worlds more dangerous than theirs.

This point shouldn't be divided by gender.

Unfortunately, the world isn't that fair yet; women living in male-dominated areas will simply have a harder time.

And the Northern Lands are too far from the Dark Night Region; even moving requires extraordinary courage and powerful abilities… But if you have such abilities, why bother moving?

Even if he doesn't want his daughter to be as steadfast as these female powerhouses one day… That kind of thing is really hard to come by naturally, but Isra still wants his daughter to see more of the outside world, to know how much effort a normal female powerhouse needs to put in to reach her level.

Since he can't personally show Pearl those cruel realities, and he doesn't want society to educate his child… Earl Hamilton can only do this much.

He's even doing this behind his wife's back.

Isra, clutching his wrist, watches his daughter enthusiastically chatting with a certain female warrior with bright eyes… That female knight with bulging muscles, carrying a heavy hammer, has just come down from the arena.

Because she had a conflict with some people on the Great Ice Mountain, but the degree wasn't enough for the Green Maple Territory's monitoring arrays to deem it worthy of lethal intervention, she simply challenged them to a duel and thoroughly beat them.

The female knights Pearl had seen before, although strong in character, weren't very fierce… That's why Isra truly feels that she needs to broaden her horizons.

Pearl's disdain for Serestia McMillan that day gave him this idea.

His daughter is really too arrogant and self-important, completely unaware of how cruel the world is.

Serestia's behavior is perfectly acceptable in the aristocratic world… She didn't use any coercive measures; she merely gave some hints.

Even if she didn't completely give up after Almus's rejection, she was just persisting on her own and didn't harass their family.

Almus himself didn't show any dissatisfaction; why was Pearl, as a younger sister, being so annoyed?

It was then that Isra realized that his daughter had been raised too spoiled by him and his wife.

Especially his wife, who wanted their daughter to be strong in everything, but didn't want her to be contaminated by the filth of aristocratic society… The result of being too clean in the present is not being able to see the distance.

Although he is very confident in his own strength, and believes that even if something really happens to him, Almus will definitely take good care of his sister, Isra truly doesn't want his daughter to lack the ability to be independent and autonomous.

She doesn't have to do it, but when needed, Pearl's first reaction should definitely be, 'I can also stand tall and support this family,' not, 'What should I do? Should I find someone to rely on?'

They worked so hard to raise their daughter so well, not to have her go to someone else and be subservient and obsequious!

Fortunately, he discovered this underground city.

Moreover, he has other gains.

Isra has been interacting with adventurers a lot lately and has discovered that the Baron of Green Maple Territory is truly an interesting person.

Although he manages things like murder very strictly, he doesn't lump all killings together.

He also doesn't believe that his little birds' observations and the strict judgments of the magic arrays are the best results.

Mage Lowry actually understands at such a young age that sometimes the sins committed by words are heavier than direct action.

Verbal provocation is also an act that needs to be avenged; it's unbearable.

For example, this giant hammer lady's challenge… The reason why those people knew they could only beg for mercy under the hammer but still honestly agreed is that, according to some underlying logic, there's no difference in strength between them.

The Baron of Green Maple Territory can't monitor everything on the Great Ice Mountain at all times, but he has patched this bird-eye array… Some special words will be directly transmitted to him, and then he will directly look over.

That is to say, when you feel that the other party's insult has reached the point where you need to take revenge with killing, you can ask Lowry to be this witness.

The birds may not understand how disgusting the P-words spoken by those smiling people are, but Lowry definitely understands.

If you are willing to pay some price, then it's not completely impossible to take action.

That is, you can only kill the one spouting P-words; those accompanying them can only be beaten half to death.

Of course, it's best to just beat them to near cripples and let the harsh environment of the Great Ice Mountain take care of the aftermath… In this way, you don't even have to do some public service in Green Maple Valley afterward, such as sweeping the roads or cleaning up garbage.

Otherwise, you have to accept the punishment of not being able to enter Green Maple Valley for half a year.

Many people are unwilling to receive this punishment… They can not go, but they must not be unable to enter.

Although the Great Ice Mountain has been very stable for so many years, and that group of ice dogs is still quite well-behaved, it would be really stupid to truly believe that the dogs of the Lord of Frost will always be so honest.
