Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 1049 Alexis, the Slacker

All gifts of fate are prepaid products.

The more perfect the result, the higher the cost.

The fact that you can't see it only means the price will be even more terrible.

Although Antirochus envied the power of others, he did not want to live such a wonderful life himself.

As for what he has achieved now, he feels that his past experiences and efforts have been worthwhile.

Euphemia is the same.

Moreover, they did not passively accept the whims of fate, endure the torment of suffering, and then unknowingly enjoy the windfall.

It was through his intelligence and willpower that he and Euphemia fought hard to win it back.

They will need to continue to work hard; it's not like they can achieve success overnight.

Antirochus accepted this fate and harbored no hatred.

Although some people are as lucky as gods, and everything goes smoothly for them, like that Crown Princess Emilia.

Antirochus and Euphemia didn't like him much, and even understood why the people around Luciano, while respecting and loving him, also harbored a hint of resentment and always tried to gain benefits from the crown prince.

Loving and gentle parents, extraordinary talent, a personality favored by the goddess of the night... even when Luciano wanted to embark on the most dangerous path of the night walker, a maple tree awakened its consciousness and directly transformed him into a nature mage with a strong presence.

What's the point of Luciano persisting on his path as a night owl?

He simply couldn't hide his presence; he was always under everyone's gaze.

In the end, he could only be an assistant among the Night Walkers, responsible for disrupting the environment, making noise, and attracting attention.

He wasn't given the most dangerous jobs.

Of course, others understand that Luciano's good fortune is because his parents paid the price for him first.

Both Queen Louise and the Bishop of Laurel were willing to put in three times the effort just so that their children could receive that one-time happiness.

However, it is inevitable that a person's heart will become unbalanced.

No matter how rational you are, there's no way to get close to that scorching ball of light.

After Antirochus became the chosen one of the sun god, he tossed and turned for a long time, trying to understand why it was him and not Luciano.

That's what it means to be a follower of the sun.

It wasn't until Ariges appeared that Antirochus began to understand things a little.

Luciano was indeed brilliant, but most of his brilliance did not come from himself.

His nature and talent were indeed outstanding, but Luciano, who was already surrounded by external light, could hardly see his own little bit of light.

Both her weaknesses and strengths were overshadowed by her identity as Crown Princess Emilia.

Luciano's complaints and resentment were not without reason... it's just normal for those who hear them to feel uncomfortable.

This Crown Prince is like the full moon, reflecting both brilliance and the human heart.

The one who was wrong was never Luciano.

Antirochus, though not disliking him, also did not want to get close to him.

Euphemia probably felt the same way, or perhaps even more strongly than Antiochus.

Unlike Antiochus, she didn't understand the true meaning of love from a young age... it's something that can't be obtained or begged for.

There's no need to try to get back what's lost.

However, Euphemia was a child who had experienced love.

She has a biological father and a brother, and even though life is very difficult, there is still a glimmer of light in her life.

Euphemia always hopes her life will be better and more perfect, so she naturally envies others who have more love than her.

That's not wrong either.

This at least proves that she understands love and believes in love.

Therefore, Euphemia is never afraid of the dark, because she can sense the light hidden beneath the darkness.

Antirochus, however, was different; he was extremely indifferent to the darkness... What he sought was the light that could guide him out of the darkness.

Therefore, Euphemia, in this way, can better understand how happy Luciano is, and cannot help but feel a bittersweet mix of envy and jealousy.

This made her only willing to observe the Crown Prince from afar, refusing to get any closer.

However, both Antirochus and Euphemia knew very well that luck couldn't be forced.

Most people in this world don't even have the chance to try.

Good fortune and misfortune go hand in hand; this is the reality for ordinary people.

At least they still have the opportunity to strive for improvement, so their efforts won't be in vain.

As for why it was him and Euphemia... being born into the right family is a skill, and having a mother like that destined their lives to be full of ups and downs.

They weren't that good, but they weren't too bad either.

Even though he still had to outwit and outmaneuver the annoying old man, Antirochus still felt that life was peaceful now.

He looked at Euphemia with a smile: "Although I can't choose your food, I think you won't be picky." Euphemia nodded quickly: "What's wrong with that? I'm lucky to be able to eat."

Penelope's taste is so sophisticated!

Euphemia knew very well that Antirochus would never offer any opinions to Ms. Ariges regarding the types of food.

All he could offer was a source of ingredients.

Ms. Ariges has already given the best reward... while the other party could have chosen not to. After all, even if Antirochus only needed a plausible pretext, they could have avoided taking the blame.

People should know when to advance and when to retreat. When considering a problem, think about what you can do and what you can give first, rather than what you can get from the other person. Only in this way can you build a healthy and normal relationship.

Therefore, Euphemia would never do anything that might put her brother in a difficult position.

In this world, the only one who truly loved her was Antiochus.

She knew her father loved her too, but that love was mixed with far too many other things.

Each time she felt that love, it was like eating a delicious dish stuffed with hard beans.

It tastes good, even the junk food can be chewed and swallowed... but the process is always bitter and difficult.

But she really loves to eat.

But similarly, once she's eaten, that's that. Euphemia never cares whether these things will have any negative impact on the other person... She's absolutely certain that they won't.

Only Antirochus would choose to back down between his own interests and Euphemia.

But how could someone as clever as her accept such a concession?

Even if these concessions seem insignificant, when piled up, they can form sand dunes that crush people.

Moreover, once she gets used to the presence of sand, who knows when she might find that stones don't matter either?
If they cherish each other and continue to live, then the siblings can hold hands and walk to the end... Euphemia believes that becoming strong does not mean being alone.
-
Alexis was in a good mood.

As time went on, the Earth Church not only introduced Sunlight Sheep, but also delivered many Sunlight-related vegetables and fruits to the grocery store.

Although the price was high and the quantity was limited, the Church of the Earth had no choice but to sell it to her because Antirochus was always with her.

Mikhail was well-fed and had fair, delicate skin; his face looked as if you could pinch water out of it.

Of course, Penelope is also very good, beautiful and cute.

The only problem was that she was growing to like Euphemia, the older sister who always wore pretty dresses.

Euphemia was very kind to the little girl and was even willing to tutor Penelope after she started taking basic classes.

All of Ariges's little schemes vanished in the face of this matter.

She would rather accept the aftereffects of Euphemia and Antilokos than tutor Penelope herself.

This child is not stupid.

On the contrary, it is precisely because she is too smart that she has created so much chaos... She thinks too much, but she can't bring herself to stop.

Her thought process is like countless rays radiating outwards.

The direction is uncontrollable, and I don't want to control it.

The problem is that her brain also shoots out along with it, and she can't remember where the origin is at all.

Unlike Mikhail, who could apply knowledge to new situations, he could firmly grasp the central point and then expand outwards in concentric circles from it.

Of course, it's not the child's fault... Alexis herself has used this phrase to comfort herself countless times.

Back then, Lowry also had that kind of aura that once you threw her out, you could never get her back.

But Lowry's environment forced him to learn to hide his personality.

Not wanting to cause trouble for her mother, Lowry learned to find answers in books.

However, Penelope is different.

The nuns at Laurel Chapel are extremely gentle and will give appropriate answers to any child's wild thoughts.

Even if they can't answer the questions on the day, they will bring them back to the church to ask.

The members of the Church of the Dark Night are knowledgeable and experienced... They also have specialized intelligence agencies and artifacts; as long as there is a clear and unambiguous outcome in this world, they can basically find it.

If they still can't find it, the nuns will tell the child who asked the question, 'I don't know the answer to this question either. You can wait until you are able to look for it, or until someone can find the answer.'

The Church of the Dark Night has documented these questions and will notify those who raised them when the results are available.

The nuns wouldn't even dismiss the children's strange questions.

What a wonderful teacher!
Alexandra felt that it was no wonder that even the major royal families acknowledged that the Laurel Chapel was the best place for teaching.

But did these nuns in the dark ever consider the feelings of the parents?

Alexis never imagined that her dream of becoming a perfect mother would ultimately be defeated by one "why" after another.

He could only readily admit that he was an ignorant person, and then let Penelope fail to complete her homework because her thoughts were too scattered.

Let her nun teacher handle this!

She's not a good mother, and she's willing to admit it.

Alexandra chose to simply give up.
