Dear Broom Knight

Lowry silently retreated a few steps and plopped down on the outstretched front paw of the white dragon, Ruthkania.

"What's wrong, little Lowry?" Ruthkania asked with a smile. "Scared by the dog-man?

Let me tell you, the more I understand him, the more I think of humans as just… things!

White dragons are more suitable for me. At least I don't have to use my brain; I just need to be able to win."

Lowry gently patted her, not saying a word.

Since tearing open the invisible membrane between himself and the world, he had regained a bit of his true nature and become much more silent.

Mainly, if these people were characters in a story, then no matter how bad they were, it was just a setting.

But when Lowry confirmed that all of this was real, he suddenly realized how terrifying the world he lived in was.

His brain wasn't necessarily much stronger than Ruthkania's, and the key was that his heart wasn't as ruthless as the white dragon's, so he was bound to be indecisive.

Therefore, instead of dwelling on these trivial matters, he had something more urgent to do… hurry home and figure out his dimensional space that looked like a virtual manor, especially those gifted magic items.

His own life was more important.

As for whether he regretted giving up the title of Count Montes because he was too whimsical, he absolutely would not regret it.

Lowry knew he just had a smart-looking face.

Like, weren't these things that happened in Montes Castle all schemes that had been planned for decades?

He didn't think he could handle it.

Besides, why should he resist?

Lowry was very clear that if he really became greedy, it would only be his mother who would suffer.

As a mage, he couldn't possibly lead an army to charge.

That would naturally fall to the Level 12 Great Knight, Yagris.

But, why should she?

The Montes family wasn't worthy of Yagris continuing to sacrifice herself.

Lowry was still certain that his mother had no interest in the border army at all.

Those words of refusal that Lady Yagris had just said to His Majesty the King were indeed true when she first joined the King's army decades ago.

But, she had fought in the border army before, and had been in contact and 'dealt' with the top combat forces there.

Otherwise, Lady Yagris wouldn't have had such a fateful relationship with Count Montes.

The real reason she was unwilling to take over, and what would make her criticized, was only one thing: Pat.

If she had just said it in front of His Majesty the King, it would mean that she was indeed willing to cut ties with Pat and have nothing to do with him anymore.

Then, with the King's approval, Pat would no longer be Yagris's weakness… at least the King's army would not use Pat to attack her.

But, she didn't mention a single word.

Therefore, even knowing what the King meant by calling Leon over, even knowing that before that, the King had given him enough time to change his mind, Lowry didn't waver in the slightest.

But he always felt that something was wrong.

He just couldn't figure it out for a moment.

"Leon, just like I gave your father a transitional title back then, during this period when you are unable to take over the throne, I will give you a real title with an attached territory.

Of course, it can only start with a count, that's the rule," the White Dragon King asked with a smile, "So, which one do you choose?

The Newman Territory in the north of the royal capital, the Starro Territory in the east, or the border territory here in the north."

Leon turned to look at Count Montes, who was dying on the ground, and then glanced at Baron Gzall, who was sitting on the white dragon's front paw, propping his face with both hands and watching the fun, and asked with a confused look: "The North? Isn't there still someone in the Montes family?"

"Oh, it's a new county," the White Dragon King said with a straight face, "Dugan and Barty are finished. Their territories plus the nearby blank areas are enough to divide into a county.

You don't have to worry about the Montes family; Fabrice can't hold it up."

"Fabrice has been poisoned," Count Montes said softly, leaning against the back of a sofa chair that Fabrice didn't know where he got it from, half-lying on the ground. "Detoxification plus retraining will take him at least 10 years before he can officially advance to a knight.

At that age, no matter what his previous talent was, it's useless.

He can't break through the Level 10 limit, so he can't make the Northern Army obey.

The Montes County is no longer qualified to continue leading the North."

Leon glanced at Lowry, who had no reaction at all… Tsk, the old father was being so sad and pathetic, but the little son was still carefully examining his fingernails while holding the dragon's paw.

It was obvious how much evil Count Montes had created before.

Leon, who knew a little about the little baron, absolutely didn't think that child was a cold-blooded person.

Moreover, he also knew that Lowry's biggest characteristic was that he was clear about gratitude and grudges, and he withdrew his feelings very quickly, basically not giving people a second chance to hurt him.

Since that was the case, then he had nothing to hesitate about. His grandfather rarely acted like a human being.

Don't say that what his own father had, he could also have… Old men who lived too long wouldn't consider the future of their children.

What future?

Anyway, Leon also knew that with his and his team members' temperaments, they could only stay in a place like the North where strength was paramount.

Even the most foolish Dugan and Barty, who had ruined their own families, were actually quite understandable… Their biggest mistake was getting involved with Masood, so that there was an imbalance between strength and power.

And both of them happened to have sons whose strength was not enough.

The cult really, found something useful, and would keep using it to the end.

But it did ruin these families.

It was estimated that after this incident spread, those scholars who had research in this area would make a lot of money.

Leon quickly made a decision:

Going to the inland, or two territories that had just been cleared by the king for colluding with the cult, and even the surrounding areas were all collateral relatives… It was better to leave this troublesome matter to those old schemers in the Noble Affairs Office to deal with!

On the contrary, the North would inevitably be despised by its neighbors. Dugan and Barty, who had harmed their lords, would not leave any sequelae.

Of course, the most important thing was that one side of that territory was the border, and the other side was mountains, and only two neighbors needed to be dealt with.

The most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ In ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Hair!

And one of them was Baron Gzall's territory, which had a particularly long border… With Lowry's temper, as long as he didn't do anything stupid, he wouldn't easily cut off his connection with the inland.

Leon glanced at the little mage who knew what was going on, but still didn't say a word, and touched the white feather on his chest: "Ah… that, my name is still under the Living Feather Knights!"

"Do you want to remove it?" Lowry immediately raised his head and asked with an excited look.

"There's no need for that," the White Dragon King quickly cut off this overly conscientious conversation, "Aren't I also in it!

What kind of knight order is that of his?

Riding a broom?

Lowry rolled his eyes at His Majesty the King's back.

Count Montes, who was lying on the ground, almost couldn't catch his breath and passed out directly after seeing it.

"Nasimento… your biggest problem is that you think too much, but the results are useless," the White Dragon King sighed, "Lowry has always been so unruly since he was a child, and doesn't care about anything.

Seeing him this time, he has improved a lot. At least he has begun to understand a little bit of the rules within the noble system, and is willing to tolerate his bad temper a little for the sake of his family.

But, don't forget, he is a mage after all.

Originally, he could naturally not abide by some rules.

Otherwise, according to the default level suppression between nobles, could Leon and Fabrice openly invite him to inscribe awakening magic circles for their castles in the future?

Even the most foolish nobles can't do this.

After becoming a mage, Lowry has naturally broken away from those secret rules.

He is still willing to abide by those on the surface, which is already very good.

My court archmage is still my own uncle! Don't I still have to take out real money."

Leon quietly looked at his grandfather, who killed without bloodshed… Everything that Lowry had done for his family had nothing to do with his father, Count Montes.

Of course, that guy deserved it.

But His Majesty the King directly regarded Lowry and Count Montes as two families in his words… Just…

Leon couldn't say it, but he knew that only someone who sincerely didn't think he was lacking in virtue could say such words in front of Count Montes, who looked like he was about to die.

Count Montes adapted faster than Leon, after all, the current His Majesty the King was still much more restrained than in the past.

The time he spent behind the other party was the most arrogant period of this king, who was whiter than a white dragon and more dog-like than a dog.

Therefore, even though his eyes went dark, Count Montes still managed to catch his breath.

He said softly: "I can't control the future anymore."

"Ah, right, Lowry!" His Majesty the King turned back thoughtfully, "Do you want your territory to be longer or wider?"

"What do you mean?" Lowry looked at him warily, "How else can it be longer? You're not planning to divide a strip behind Montes County for me, are you?"

The White Dragon King nodded calmly: "That's right! That way, your territory will become symmetrical!"

"I have no intention of expanding my territory," Lowry quickly shook his head and denied.

"You're already a Third Circle mage!" His Majesty the King replied with a smile, "The rules are the rules. Your title can be fixed here, but a territory the size of a county must be given to you.

Otherwise, I'll have to provide you with a surveyed mine.

However, the national mines that have just been surveyed are all in the east… It's not a big problem for you anyway. After all, your grandmother's family is there…"

"Thank you for His Majesty's kindness!" Lowry quickly replied, "Just give me those hills behind my territory."
