Dear Broom Knight

"Yuri…" The words of Leon's probing attempt were cut short by the other's extremely cold gaze.

His friend had always preferred to act cautiously; all the adventures and chaos in his life were due to his impulsiveness.

However, although Yuri often used a high-pressure attitude to suppress his sudden whims, when he was exceptionally determined, he would only express his dissatisfaction with a resolute opposition coupled with full support.

However, it seemed Yuri's support would end here, and he wouldn't allow him to be alone with a certain lady, oh, and the lady's little follower.

Leon thought with great interest, just how confident is this lady in herself, and how lightly does she regard Leon, that she could brazenly bring someone with impure motives and an unknown identity into his heavily guarded reception room at this time?

He touched the beautiful crystal fruit plate on the table and raised his chin: "Let them sit over there."

"Leon! How dare you treat me like this? Do you think…" The woman was about to go wild, but she was quickly appeased by a handsome woman in men's clothing beside her.

Leon originally thought she even had the audacity to keep a gigolo under His Majesty the King's watch… It seems her courage hasn't reached that point; she's just chosen a second-rate method to pass the time and comfort her emptiness.

In fact, the royal family never requires these widows to remain chaste, as long as they don't play too wildly… The main purpose is to avoid creating unnecessary shadows for the children.

After all, the minimum standard for royal family members' marriages cannot be an ordinary person; no fool would do something like wronging a strong person for something unnecessary.

But this lady in front of him couldn't.

Back then, she chose to denounce her eldest son for her 'husband's' unparalleled loyalty and unwavering love, even making a vow of chastity in front of all the royal family members, great nobles, and even bishops and high priests of various churches… That must never be violated.

Ten or twenty years, for a professional who still has the potential for advancement, is certainly not too difficult.

However, in the blink of an eye, 50 years have passed.

Leon, who had fled the palace in embarrassment back then, was already approaching 60 years old.

Even if her talent was indeed extremely superior, so superior that even when she didn't work hard, she could easily touch the level 10 threshold… Leon's father, whose talent and body weren't very good, and whose first wife could only choose the eldest daughter of an ordinary family whose talent was only passable, loved this beautiful, superficial, extreme, and willful woman so much, which was actually related to this point.

Even if this wife still didn't have a good family background or a successful future… she coveted vanity, was naturally lazy, and didn't distinguish between men and women, old and young, or high and low family backgrounds.

However, that's not entirely the case. If such a child had a sensible parent who understood that one's future could only be controlled by oneself, they could at least cultivate some self-discipline.

But, for the small family that Leon's mother came from, a girl with good talent and a naturally uncompetitive nature was simply a treasure bestowed by heaven… At least it could instantly raise their social circle by two levels.

Their wish was indeed fulfilled. What could be a better way out than becoming the eldest son's wife?

They were very content.

Leon's father also chose a wife who could comfort his past regrets.

Leon also indeed satisfied his subtle little thoughts… Compared to his older siblings who were all of average talent, Leon was truly excellent.

So, Leon actually had a pretty good life in the first ten years of his life.

His father, as a prince sincerely loved by a king with real power, didn't need anyone's permission to be good to someone, nor did he care about anyone's dissatisfaction.

However, his mother had always been unable to stand this.

After Leon matured, he thought about it for a long time and communicated with many women… Finally, he understood that for someone as overly confident as his mother, the fact that her husband chose to marry her only for her talent, and not because of her as a person, was a disgrace.

She tried her best to prove her attraction to her husband, even at the cost of hurting her ex-wife's children and being jealous of her own son to show her sincerity.

However, in the initial period, when Leon's father hadn't become foolish, he couldn't comprehend this superficial love at all.

The willfulness shown by the young wife didn't make him feel cute, but only made him choose to protect the previous children even more… After all, although this one's combat power wasn't enough, her lethality was still quite high.

For this lady, Leon, who couldn't bring her benefits, was actually more annoying than the thorn in her side left by the former princess.

She only felt that she had given birth to a debt collector.

Then, when the second child was born, the eldest prince, who already understood that his days were numbered, also began to have great changes in his mentality.

He no longer thought about inheritance or regrets, but only felt… that he wanted to live.

A charming wife and a young son, especially a young son who urgently needed his protection, rejuvenated the old man, who suddenly realized that he was old and weak and hated those talented and powerful old men from the bottom of his heart.

Naturally, for this lady, who needed to draw what she needed for survival from others' envy, jealousy, or favoritism, the little son who brought her all of this but could only appear when she needed him was the best lucky baby, completely different from the debt collector in front who would only compete with her for her husband's attention.

She only loved herself, so naturally, she could also regard Leon as her greatest enemy for her own sake.

Since they were already enemies, there was no point in talking about maternal love.

And after understanding all of this, Leon inevitably withdrew all his former expectations.

Of course, he wouldn't blame himself for having had expectations of maternal love or for having had a trace of pity for his poor little brother because he 'didn't understand'.

Leon always accepted the mistakes he made because he 'didn't understand', as long as he didn't make them again.

Looking at the woman who, although still maintained the appearance of being around thirty years old, had a face full of vicissitudes and only had beauty but no confidence, Leon smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Although I've always felt that I've become indifferent to you, seeing you not doing well actually feels really good."

Lori Montes's witty remarks weren't completely without reason, and they were really useful at critical moments.

For example, the lady Patricia, who was about to display her acting skills but was frozen by these words she didn't know how to respond to.

However, the handsome woman in men's clothing she brought still perfectly played her proper role, immediately grabbed her arm, pulled her into her arms, and said anxiously: "Don't be anxious! Patricia~

Didn't we agree that even if His Highness Leon has a lot of resentment, you must bear it?

Since you know you're wrong, you have to let people vent…"

Leon changed his position on the comfortable sofa chair and said leisurely: "Fifty, no, even forty years ago, when you struck this pose, it could still make people feel a little pitiful.

But now… Once you officially start knight training, even the weakest girl can't soften her waist~ Lady Patricia.

The way you're leaning on her looks like an iron plate stuck to a steel plate… Although it's not impossible, the expression is a bit out of place.

Times have changed; the person performing and the person watching are no longer the same as before. You should open your eyes and look at the world, and stop playing the innocent little white flower with a face full of the taste of time.

A jasmine in the wind will still have lush branches and a thick trunk after a hundred years.

What? In all these years, haven't you gone back to that manor to see the jasmine pool that your father used to compare you to?

I've been there to see it."

He extended a finger and pointed to the lucky bamboo, which was over three meters tall, placed in the reception room as an ornamental plant: "This kind of plant is quite well-behaved when it's over a meter tall, but after it grows to three meters, even the stamens turn black!"

Lady Patricia's expression instantly became extremely sinister.

Leon thought with great interest… Sure enough, without the man who needed her constant pursuit and without the need to constantly perform her pity and innocence, even her acting skills began to deteriorate!

If it were the former eldest prince's wife, she could definitely say the most vicious things with the most natural and pure expression… Just like in that trial, even if everyone heard the woman's terror, there were still many people who felt that she might have some hidden difficulties because of the melancholy temperament she showed.

Such a sinister expression, in the past, she wouldn't even easily reveal it when she was alone!

Even when she hated him so much that she pinched his ribs hard when he was a child, she could bloom with a gentle smile.

Leon sneered.

As for the lady next to Patricia who could make her honest with just one sentence… Since she appeared in this identity, she had to accept the result of being ignored.

Sometimes, the nobles' overly high traditions are also quite useful.

Leon put his hand on the crystal plate and took out an orange from it… Then Yuri, who didn't know when he had walked to his side, took it and peeled it.

The handsome great scholar wore a silver-blue robe, and his slender fingers quickly and neatly peeled off the orange peel, and then began to carefully clean the white silk on the pulp.
