Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 1020 Mr. Dorian, who arouses curiosity
Even a handsome prince who remained devoted to Beatrice Garfield couldn't survive past the prime of his youth, turning 25.

In a fit of rage, he seized the throne, hoping to make the cruel woman who had abandoned him regret it, only to be met with a bewildered look in return: "Who are you?"

Yes, because he wanted to compete for the throne, he naturally had to convince the knights. His Highness, who had been training diligently, had transformed from a handsome young man into a mighty and valiant warrior.

It's normal that Beatrice Garfield wouldn't recognize her, since her head is now one and a half years old.

However, upon closer inspection, his facial features haven't actually changed much.

However, Ms. Beatrice Garfield would never look at a 'man's' face... it would give her nightmares.

However, she was incredibly powerful, the kind of powerful enough to stand before Queen Emilia... Although she ultimately couldn't defeat her, at least she gained the right to do so.

Moreover, she was extremely beautiful and sexy, which was exactly the kind of charm that boys at that time were most infatuated with.

Her story is circulating throughout the Church of the Night, and the Night Guards must know it too... In a way, this is also an opportunity for some boys who lack the necessary abilities and talents.

Although that woman was ruthless and heartless, she was truly generous.

Like that prince who originally had no hope of winning the throne, yet he was able to become king through his own efforts... If he had this ability before, how could he have gone to associate with Beatrice Garfield?
It's just that, compared to others, he, as the king, would leave more traces.

Of course, she occasionally shows her true feelings... Although she can't get past the age of 25, she will at least leave a keepsake for her true lover.

The child was her own.

However, although the child was conceived by her lover, it was still her own flesh and blood, and she certainly couldn't give it away.

Although it's a souvenir, it still belongs to her.

Therefore, her children will only share one surname: Beatrice Garfield.

She uses her full name as her surname.

Beatrice Garfield believes this is an honor for her children, something they will be proud of for a lifetime.

And it is.

At least within the Church of the Dark Night.

Dorian Beatrice Garfield, though a loser in the struggle, possessed a resounding surname.

Even if the victors hated him, they dared not kill him; they could only force him to leave.

Hmm... what they're fighting for is the position of partner to a lady who ranks first among the twelve elders of the Dark Night Church.

After establishing his own power, the elder began to consider how to ensure that his rule would last for generations... The simplest and most convenient way was to establish a family that could continue naturally.

Just like the Emilia family, no matter what changes occur, they will naturally support Her Majesty Queen Emilia and will never easily betray her position.

Becoming the male patriarch of such a family would naturally be a tremendous stroke of luck.

Although his surname will not be preserved, his bloodline will live on for thousands of years.

But if he relies on himself, he has no family to speak of.

This is indeed something worth fighting for, but having a family doesn't help them much; sometimes it's even a negative influence.

After all, one wrong move could easily make you a stepping stone for others.

However, Beatrice Garfield is not considered a member of the family.

Although there were many of them, they had little contact with each other.

That woman herself didn't have any established power, nor did she intend for her children to band together for survival... As for souvenirs, as long as they exist, that's enough; they don't need any added value.

Dorian Beatrice Garfield is merely the great-great-grandson of the powerful Darkmoon.

Beatrice Garfield has been famous for a thousand years, and she might not even remember her own son's face clearly, so how could she possibly know who he is?
He is certainly qualified to participate in the competition.

However, his surname might save his life at best, but it won't guarantee him a smooth life.

But it's already a miracle that they survived.

In that level of competition, if the loser doesn't have some status, they're definitely doomed.

After all, their mutual sabotage was aimed at taking each other's lives.

The victors cannot escape reckoning.

Moreover, in order to prove that his choice was correct, the elder would certainly show full support for his partner for a period of time.

Dorian will inevitably have to wander outside for a long time.

Even spending a few years in the chaotic area with my daughter is quite risky.

After all, the person over there will definitely try to scheme against him.

Unfortunately, during that period, most of the suffering the other side endured was caused by Dorian.

He failed not because he lacked ability, but because he was too capable.

Of course, Dorian didn't realize it at first. It was only after the failure and the subsequent review that he realized that what they wanted was a general manager to oversee the family's internal affairs, not an ambitious person who could stir up trouble with a flick of his wrist.

What he lost to was actually his own youthful arrogance. On the contrary, it was the one with the greatest patience who was ultimately chosen.

Luciano was fairly aware of these matters, after all, he had a father with a similar background.

When Queen Louise chose a partner, she didn't consider many other factors; she simply wanted someone with whom she could share common interests.

Besides her responsibilities as queen, what she wanted to do most in her life was to protect the rights of women and children and give children a wonderful childhood... Louise really, really loved children.

Because of this fondness, he was even directly excluded from the monastery.

The Church of the Dark protects all women and children... as long as they are not sinful, they don't even care if the other party is evil.

But Louise disliked women whose children met with misfortune because of their weakness and incompetence.

Or, it could be a woman who abandoned her child for her own benefit.

Within the Church of the Dark, people like Louis can exist, but they cannot remain in monasteries that shelter women and children.

Even if Louise were able to refrain from expressing her contempt and disgust through her reason, the monastery would not accept her into the monastery.

No matter what kind of woman she is, if she has the courage to seek help from the Church of the Dark, the Church of the Dark will provide her with some protection and guidance.

It's fine if you don't like them. Although the Goddess of the Night protects women, she only likes the followers she chooses. Just ignore them.

However, if one cannot work in a place where there is a conflict of interest, then there will inevitably be a misallocation of resources.

She doesn't need to break her principles; all she needs to do is give the slightly better portion to the person she prefers among those who also come seeking help... Over time, some clever people will eventually figure out her preferences.

This is not in accordance with the teachings of the Goddess of the Night.

Therefore, even if Louise were Queen Emilia, she could not become the administrator of Laurel Abbey.

But she could actually have taken a position at the Dark Cathedral near the royal palace.

There, she didn't need to give so much love and pity.

Unfortunately, Queen Louise did not want to get involved in the power struggles within the Temple of the Night, preferring instead to run a hotel for children and teenagers.

So, although she always said that Luciano was not mature enough and needed to be trained, in reality, she knew very well that her son was exactly like her.

Luciano's ability to live like a happy little bird is naturally due to Queen Louise's wholehearted nurturing.

However, Luciano's growth was naturally inseparable from his father's protection.

Only a happy and perfect family can raise a personality like Luciano's... Single-parent families do exist, but they are far too few.

His Majesty the Prince, who only appears when important events occur, is a typical scholar-type bishop.

The Laurel Church is what it is today thanks to him.

He was in charge of all those courses, especially those that mobilized some of the resources of the Earth Church.

To avoid being misled by the people of the Earth Church, the bishop personally went to study them.

He doesn't need to understand everything perfectly; the course can only officially begin once he can determine that the process is correct.

Before he took over the Laurel Church, the children in Emilia City did attend classes, but it was no different from the outside world.

It's similar to the family-style education of the nobility, at most without etiquette classes.

Bishop Laurel is the kind of person who, once you see him, makes you understand what gentleness truly is.

There's no need to consider gender; it's simply gentleness itself.

Moreover, to be able to become the bishop of the Laurel Church, a place of vital importance to the church, in a predominantly female stronghold like the Church of the Dark Night, one can imagine how strong he is and how much he can command respect.

Even though he was the one who tried to stop Queen Louise from entering the Laurel Chapel, she still fell in love with him like a moth to a flame.

It took decades of entanglement to finally win over this laurel bishop.

During their official matrimony ceremony, some people at the Dark Temple were even shouting, "Queen Emilia is using her power to intimidate us!"

However, it was indeed because of Queen Emilia's full support that some elders who were interested in the Laurel Bishop were not allowed to transfer him back to the Temple of the Night.

Although to outsiders, Queen Louise's family appears to be dominated by a strong woman and a weak man, within the Temple of the Night, they are actually an equal and well-matched couple.

Even so, Luciano heard some unpleasant things when he was a child.

After all, the old traditions of the Night Temple are well-known.

When his parents gave him an example, they used Dorian's struggle as an example.

Although Luciano eventually understood the true meaning of love, he also remembered the story vividly.

He was very familiar with the name Dorian Beatrice Garfield.

Luciano suddenly became curious about this Night Guard who was determined to rise to power.

How could someone who, even in the most unfavorable circumstances, still remembers to leave Euphemia a stable way out, possibly be determined to take crooked paths?
