Dear Broom Knight

#88 - It's just a waste of effort

Even a fool like Lowry wouldn't misunderstand the exchange between Count Montes and Mrs. Agreus.

Frankly, the reason he dared to participate in the Lightwing Knight Order's experiment and completely disregarded the Noble Affairs Office's retaliation after its success was because Count Montes was backing him up.

But Montes was supposed to bear all of this.

After all, normally, Lowry shouldn't have had to be completely independent at the age of eight.

Moreover, the Noble Affairs Office's idiotic behavior stemmed from accepting bribes from the Newman family, which had nothing to do with Lowry himself.

Even if Lowry retaliated with some minor inconveniences, the Noble Affairs Office could only blame themselves.

So, even if Lowry's antics caused those in the Noble Affairs Office to be mocked by His Majesty the King and even have their salaries docked for two years, it would only lead to the nobles in the royal capital gossiping about Count Montes for a while and causing him some trouble when it was convenient.

Normally, as long as the Newman family compensated them for their losses in double in time, the matter would be over. Once the fuss died down, they could continue to do business.

Of course, this time, they would definitely only open a window for noble youths who could become knights after the awakening ceremony.

At most, they wouldn't go against the wind and would be quiet for the next decade.

However, how many nobles would make an advance application like Lowry?

As mentioned before… it had been many years since they had seen a great noble family nearly wiped out.

Who would have thought that in just a few years, the Montes family would make a comeback and cause the same trouble again?

But, because the White Dragon King used the incident as an excuse to ridicule and punish the Noble Affairs Office, which liked to meddle, he definitely couldn't openly demand that the Noble Affairs Office give Fabris an early title of团长 at this moment.

The more flamboyant the lotus he spouted that year, the faster he would shut up today.

And the Noble Affairs Office, even if someone was willing to share some of the King's worries… they wouldn't do such a thing in front of everyone.

However, Count Montes would never allow the inheritance ceremony to be stuck here for half a day without progress.

Although he looked quite energetic, the loss of blood was clearly getting stronger and stronger. It was estimated that he was relying entirely on the energy potions he secretly took to hold on.

So, at the last moment, he once again used Lowry as a gamble.

The special nature of Lightwing was obvious. Everyone knew that many military nobles were extremely dissatisfied with Lowry's骚操作.

But Lowry's dog temper, which dared to jump at the White Dragon King, was also world-famous. It was not surprising that he would use this method to turn against those who dared to suppress him.

If Count Montes and Lowry had a good father-son relationship, the military nobles could still ask him to help Lowry give up this overly abrupt knight order… However, everyone understood that Count Montes was nothing in front of his son.

Of course, because the application for this knight order was initially submitted in the name of Count Montes, he could sacrifice some of his own interests to disband the knight order.

However, Count Montes would never spend so much money to get a beating!

Mrs. Agreus had made it so he couldn't get out of bed for half a year before.

Lowry himself knew this.

Moreover, he understood even more that after he completely stood on the White Dragon King's side, Count Montes could not do anything superfluous.

Although Count Montes himself said that it was out of guilt and fatherly love for Lowry.

But Lowry always directly excluded those nonsense words when making decisions… and everything that had happened so far proved that he was right.

If nothing unexpected happened, the relationship between their father and son would naturally continue in this superficially awkward and substantially riddled way.

However, an accident happened suddenly. Count Montes was dying.

Compared to the images he had to maintain in the past, the real interests were more important to him.

He directly tore off the veil of affection and put everything on the trading table.

If Mrs. Agreus had not accepted his proposal just now, then his next sentence would naturally be to disband the Lightwing Knight Order, which should not have existed.

The most feared thing about exploiting a BUG is that the game company is shameless and directly eliminates a certain piece of code from the source… then naturally all the benefits you get from it will disappear.

Lowry naturally wouldn't want Mrs. Agreus to suffer this anger because of this trivial matter. He originally intended to speak.

But he was stopped by his mother with an unusually firm gesture.

His mother usually pampered him exceptionally, letting him do whatever he wanted, but she was also very serious about his education.

Just as Lowry would discuss musical codes with Agreus, Mrs. Agreus would also teach Lowry what kind of gesture represented her absolutely serious attitude, and once it appeared, it must not be violated.

Lowry stared fixedly at the ground, his heart churning.

He had already understood the main reason why Agreus did this: it would be difficult for Kyle to have time to pay attention to the Montes territory within the 10 years that the White Dragon King was fully defending, let alone take action against Fabris, who was no longer useful.

So, although she had to stay in the Montes territory for these ten years to lead those low- and mid-level knights, she wouldn't face too much danger.

Most importantly, because she was threatened by Count Montes using Lowry under the gaze of His Majesty the King and the new Border Earl, the father-son relationship between Lowry and Count Montes could be completely severed.

No matter what happened to Fabris in the future, Lowry would not need to come forward to help him.

From then on, the Montes of the Gezar Barony completely became another branch.

If it were before, Mrs. Agreus would certainly not have made this choice.

As long as she was there, the Montes territory would have to be Lowry's backing.

But the current Montes territory is very difficult to maintain, and it will only become Lowry's burden.

Mrs. Agreus was willing to exchange ten years for Lowry's absolute freedom.

Even if he could understand why Agreus did this, Lowry was still unwilling to accept this reality.

Even if he had no choice.

He knew that irritability and rage were useless, but he couldn't control his emotions at all.

The White Dragon King turned his head slightly and glanced at the little mage who seemed to be about to burn up, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Lowry has always been unreasonable.

He can't find a place to vent his anger… Although Lowry now hates Count Montes the most, he can't possibly attack his own biological father who only has one breath left, even if he is burning with anger.

A careless move, or even just scolding a few words, could lead to the tragedy of patricide.

However, the White Dragon King could still tell that it was Agreus's order that kept Lowry silently staying there.

This child still cares about what his mother says.

Then, when everything is over, recalling everything that happened today, Lowry, who can't find an outlet for his anger, will inevitably remember the bottle of medicine he fed Count Montes under his orders.

The White Dragon King's mind raced.

For some reason, Lowry could always scratch Luskania's itch.

And he is not always willing to accept the White Dragon's enthusiasm and passion.

Especially, certain passions that will inevitably make him lose a lot of money.

The White Dragon King didn't want to recall how Luskania's carefully crafted dragon's nest was completely renovated under Lowry's suggestion.

He only knew that after that time, three of the gem warehouses in his private treasury were directly emptied!

Not to mention, the current Lowry also has the full support of the Chief Court Mage.

The White Dragon King frowned… I'm afraid something big is going to happen!

Then he immediately noticed Leon, who seemed to want to say something: "What are you doing cowering over there? Speak up if you have something to say!

What's the point of stammering!"

"Ah… I wanted to say that when the castle exploded just now, we rescued some of the city-guarding knights from under the rubble with the help of a group of sons of knights." Leon was startled and spoke quickly without knowing why.

Count Montes, who was lying on the ground and saying his last words to Fabris word by word, suddenly coughed.

Although it is difficult to enter a noble knight order, it is not impossible to leave.

The easiest way is to redeem yourself… just return the knight order's expenses for you in double.

Another way is to die once to protect the nobles, or to put it more clearly, to be abandoned by the nobles at a critical moment.

For example, today, the knights have been guarding the city wall, but Count Montes, as the object they are guarding, knew that such a danger might occur but did not remind them, and did not even activate the city wall's defense array, directly letting them face such a terrible explosion with their flesh.

Then the survivors can choose whether to continue serving the lord according to their own wishes.

If Alex is the one who inherits Count Montes, even if some people will definitely leave, some people will definitely be willing to stay.

But Fabris, who is not even a knight?

The key is that the one who saved them is the future Hamilton Border Earl… How many people wouldn't want to follow him to make contributions?

You must know that it is a large area of wilderness without an owner!

As long as they obtain enough merit, they can get real territory, and there may even be rewards for being ennobled!

Count Montes closed his eyes in pain.
