Dear Broom Knight

Pat really wanted to see the expression on Count Montes' face right now.

After all, those two silly sons arguing would definitely bring this matter up repeatedly.

Would he be filled with regret?

After all, back then, Yager had raised a very serious protest against the issue of 'food safety'.

And it wasn't a secret that Grand Knight Yagris liked to associate with scholars.

As for whether he would be angered... Pat chuckled coldly. He would need to have the ability to do so.

The fact that he could still maintain his strength as a level 10 knight was because the old guy was sensible enough to eat with them most of the time.

But it wasn't as if he hadn't dined with his sons before… especially recently, after the left-wing head maid began to take over some of the power in the central kitchen.

The Count had eaten quite a bit of the ham carefully cured with luxury rose salt from the Newman family!

As for whether there might be some specially refined goodies mixed in, even Lady Yagris wouldn't care.

Anyway, it wasn't real poison.

As for why this situation arose... this wasn't a court struggle, but a war between divine right and royal power.

When Pat confirmed that the minstrel in front of her and the left-wing head maid were old lovers, she suspected this.

And the High Tower Church she came from always had well-informed news, especially about matters related to magic practitioners.

Minstrels also have schools of thought.

Like Seven, who was sent by Lorry, he was obviously not the type who came from singing hymns and had close ties with the church.

His singing was very melodious, and his praise for the Lord of Storms was heartfelt, but there was no sense of holiness.

It was obviously a typical wandering minstrel, cultivated by adventurers.

The minstrels cultivated by the military sang with great enthusiasm and loud voices, even when singing hymns, and they couldn't be so gentle.

Only nobles, especially those who had worshiped the Lord of Storms for generations, could cultivate minstrels who were somewhat similar to church poets.

That subtle difference, even nobles who had been immersed in music for many years might not be able to hear, let alone Count Montes, a boor who couldn't even manage his own family!

But Pat was very sensitive to this.

She hated the Storm Church the most, but she was also the most sensitive to their existence because of it.

Therefore, the news she reported would definitely be trusted by the higher-ups of the High Tower Church… just like Andres Horne said, he would never doubt Pat's judgment.

After all, back then, this high priest disguised as a scholar personally rescued 5-year-old Pat from the Storm Church's altar.

The biggest misfortune of the Gezar family was having a young patriarch who was greedy.

It could be seen from his vicious treatment of his own younger brother that Count Gezar had no heart at all.

However, the Gezar family had a particularly noticeable talent… wind.

Of course, for knights, this bloodline, which was inclined towards agility, was definitely not comparable to dragon-type creatures.

In fact, many years ago, no one really cared about Gezar's seemingly non-existent wind attribute.

Although Lady Yagris broke through the bloodline limit and became a level 12 Grand Knight, it was not the little bit of gift from the wind that brought her to this point.

The wind bloodline only brought her some assistance, allowing her to live better, not to make a living.

Therefore, no one had thought that Gezar's bloodline would become 'valuable' when the gods slowly faded out of this world.

The Church of the Lord of Storms was no longer the powerful church of the past, where one could receive the gods' response as long as they were pious enough.

Only those devout believers who had prayed in front of the statue for many years and wholeheartedly dedicated everything to the gods, whose bodies had been soaked in wind elements, could receive a response from the Lord of Storms.

However, the more one was捧上神坛, the easier it was for people to develop selfishness.

Even many archbishops had lost the favor of the Lord of Storms, who was still arrogant even now.

Unknowingly, the entire Church of the Lord of Storms could not find more than 10 saints who could directly communicate with that powerful god!

Of course, it was not completely impossible to contact the Lord of Storms… as long as they gathered a certain number of believers to start a grand festival.

But how could those archbishops of the Church of the Lord of Storms, who had been standing in high positions for many years and worshiped by all believers as incarnations of gods, be willing to do such a shameful thing?

Even the nobles would only show their respect for the Lord of Storms during festivals… those nobles directly under His Majesty the King even felt that as long as they had the minstrels sing a few hymns, it would be their respect for the Lord of Storms!

The Lord of Storms did not seem to care too much about this situation, as long as people did not change his name to Ice King or Lord of the Tower, he would go along with the people.

But his church was unwilling.

Therefore, they were absolutely unwilling to let the believers, who were already impure in their hearts, discover that they were even so weak that they could not directly communicate with the Lord of Storms!

In order to change this situation, the archbishops of the Lord of Storms began to secretly attack the nobles, hoping to weaken the seemingly unbreakable rule of the King of the North from the side.

After all, they had held power for so many years, and they had countless good things in their hands, so there would inevitably be greedy fools willing to take the bait.

For example, Count Newman, who had tricked his grandson into his current state.

And also, Count Gezar.

That guy had always bullied the weak and feared the strong, and he could sell anything as long as there were enough benefits.

But he also knew very well that he, whose territory was located in the inner area of the kingdom, must not go too far in his actions.

Therefore, the direct members of the family, who were the focus of attention, could only die in the internal strife between the nobles.

People like Pat, who could only have their names entered into the family register on the day of their awakening, had become the best trading objects.

As for what to trade… what else could young girls be used for?
