Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 1055 The Children Who Worry About Their Mother
Mikhail lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying with a serious expression, "No matter how smart I am, I'm still an eight-year-old child. It's normal for me to get nervous when faced with crucial issues."

Penelope, who was standing to the side in a daze, rolled her eyes.

“What’s your question, Pepe?” Alexandra asked cautiously.

Her fearless youngest daughter's sudden silence was somewhat frightening.

Logically, Penelope should have joined her in mocking Mikhail's unusual nervousness.

“Mom, even though Euphemia walks the path of darkness, I think she’s more like moonlight!” Penelope said, seemingly unrelated to the question.

Alexandra knew her well and immediately understood her true meaning, but she didn't intend to give an answer right away. She simply replied literally, "That's normal. The Path of the Dark Night has always been complicated."

Especially for these favored ones, no one knows which side of the moon they will ultimately choose to embrace.

Isn't it perfectly normal to fall in love with moonlight after walking in the dark for a long time?

Penelope, who had been nestled on the sofa, sat up and said in a plaintive tone, "Mom, you've been loving me less and less lately."

"Oh~ that's probably because you've worn me down too much." Alexandra laughed. "So, Pepe, shouldn't you let me recover for a while first?"

Penelope tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "But Mom's little bamboo whip never stopped!"

Even Mikhail, who was still racking his brains over the potential problems he might encounter during tomorrow's awakening ceremony, couldn't help but turn to look at her: "Is that the main point?"

“But you shouldn’t have stayed angry after hitting me!” Penelope said emphatically. “Otherwise, why bother?”
Hitting a child is primarily a way to vent your own anger, with disciplining the child being secondary!

Alexandra looked at her: "It seems you have indeed learned a lot from Euphemia."

They've mastered the art of feinting to the east while attacking in the west.

But it's no use.

I'll still beat you up if I need to.

Penelope pursed her lips unhappily, but didn't argue... She would never shout why Mikhail wasn't beaten.

Every time Alexis hit her, she would do so with reason and facts, never resorting to violence without explanation, and never beating her just because she was ignorant or made a mistake.

These are all typical cases of reaching the point of no return and no longer needing to endure.

But Mikhail was different; he didn't never make mistakes, but he never made the same mistake twice.

Moreover, Mikhail would immediately correct himself whenever Alexandra pointed it out.

If Penelope could do that, she naturally wouldn't get beaten up.

She knows she can't do it, so she never dwells on such things.

"So, Mom... it doesn't matter what my profession is, right?" Mikhail asked hesitantly.

"Hmm?" Alexandra finally realized, "You think your awakening ritual might be special?"
What kind of special law is this…

“These past few days, after I fall asleep, I always feel like I am the sun, high above, cold and indifferent,” Mikhail said somewhat embarrassedly. “But the sun god is still there!”
Moreover, the sun god doesn't seem to be this kind of person.

I'm a little worried that I won't... end up like the Rain Goddess.

“That’s definitely not the case.” Alex thought for a moment before saying, “It’s probably because you’ve been taking too many sun potions since you were little, which triggered some… special inheritance in your bloodline.”

You don't need to worry about that. Lowry hinted to me before that the most righteous bloodline in the Ghazar lineage is the sun.

Is the source of their bloodline the sun god?
No, the sun god has always been virtuous and clean.

Therefore, he was a demigod who served alongside the sun god.

Mikhail thought calmly... Lori's words didn't seem quite right.

What does it mean that the sun is the brightest light?

The sun itself is light.

This way of speaking is basically saying that only the sun is bright in the blood of the Gezhar people!

The Tower's divine power can only affect Alexandra herself; it will not be passed on to him or Penelope.

So... what's on the other side of the Gezar bloodline?
Is it the devil?
Mikhail couldn't think of anything else that could suppress the sun's bloodline.

Sebefia is still frolicking on the ice field!
Based on what he had seen and heard during his time in the Dark Church, the only reason for this outcome was that 'they couldn't kill him'.

The Goddess of the Night is not the type to be patient.

"Stop overthinking," Alexandra said, patting his head. "With so many unknowns, how could you possibly deduce the result?"

When you and Peipei grow up, I will definitely tell you all of this.

Therefore, no matter what you awaken into, even if you instantly transform into the Son of the Sun, it won't affect me.

Alexis finally understood what her son was hesitating about.

This child must have started considering the threat from the Tower Lord after figuring out who she was.

Too clever for his own good.

But Alexis is very experienced in dealing with children like this.

Mikhail and Penelope combined don't have as many problems as Lowry.

Her current composure and unwavering stability are the result of countless hours of practice she and Yages spent together under the covers late at night, reviewing their experiences one by one.

Every day was a rollercoaster of fear and elation. To prevent Count Montes from discovering anything amiss, he had to remain outwardly calm, even if his heart was pounding like thunder and his thoughts were racing like a blizzard.

Moreover, she had to try her best to keep her thoughts from attracting the attention of the Tower Lord... The Tower Lord was indeed shrewd and cunning, adept at manipulating human nature, but he truly only understood the dark side of people.

In his eyes, Lowry was a mischievous child who liked to seek attention.

He was clever, but even though he could have seized the position of border count with the help of Agris, he decided to give up and only wanted to distance himself from the family and live a secluded life in his own small territory.

They have no ambition whatsoever.

The Lord of the Tower dislikes people without ambition, and in his eyes, the clever but lazy Lori is... a piece of trash.

But what he saw was only what Alexandra wanted him to see.

If he had actually noticed Laurie's intelligence in knowing the location of every book in the study, instead of just seeing Laurie's scribbles, he probably wouldn't have thought that way anymore.

The departure of the strong and the retreat of the weak are certainly not the same outcome in the eyes of the Tower Lord.

Lowry's eight years were the longest period of acting between her and Yages.

Moreover, they will not waver no matter what happens afterward.

Her child is indeed quite special, but that's all there is to it; at least he's still a human being.

Just like Mikhail's current concerns... his thought process is entirely within the human realm.

Alexandra could think of it and understand it.

Unlike Lowry.

That was a terrifying presence that would still wake her up from her sleep years later, making her scream "Why?"

She glanced again at Penelope, who was sprawled on the sofa, seemingly lost in thought.

The daughter's thoughts were different.

Having spent a considerable amount of time with Euphemia, Penelope must have felt that she possessed the demeanor of a follower of the night.

She didn't care about any of that... After all, she definitely had a good impression of the Goddess of the Night because of the Laurel Church, but it hadn't reached the point of faith.

Some people may have already surrendered themselves to God by the age of eight.

Some people, like her two children, are still figuring out which path is more suitable for them.

Therefore, Penelope's real concern is that if she is favored by the Goddess of the Night when she awakens, and Euphemia, whose relationship with her has grown better over the years and who has clearly not changed her mind... will the Emilia royal family still let the two favored by the gods leave?
I really think too much.

Over the past few years, Alexandra must have been carefully observing the movements of the Church of the Night.

Although she didn't know why, she could vaguely sense that the Emilia royal family was actually quite wary of Euphemia and her brother.

It's not the kind of defensiveness that comes from the fear that the other side might become my enemy in the future.

Instead, it's about cutting ties by 'it's best not to get involved'.

This mysterious reaction likely stems from some 'possible' prophecy.

Secular royalty generally don't take these things seriously.

After all, they had long since learned from their own self-inflicted suffering that the more they valued a prophecy, the more likely it would come true.

If everything is done within the rules, then even if the prophecy comes true, the harm won't be that great.

Only the church, because of its great entanglement with God, is so cautious about prophecy... After all, their every move may involve God.

Prophecies related to deities are almost impossible for anyone to change.

After all, that was almost the will of the law.

Therefore, if someone in the church suddenly becomes 'not so normal,' you can deduce something from their behavior.

If that's the case, then if Penelope can take Antirochus and Euphemia with her, Queen Louise will probably be grateful to her.

Those who are not in the prophecy, but act according to their own thoughts and desires, are the ones who can truly shake the foundation of the prophecy... The Lord of the Tower had already told her this.

And in this world, the one most beyond prophecy and calculation is not the gods, but Lori Montes.

That great mage who inexplicably awakened to human form as a dragon.

This is what exists outside of predetermined fate... because the appearance of the humanoid dragon is completely uncontrollable.

Even the union of humanoid dragons cannot guarantee the birth of humanoid dragon offspring.

The Lord of the Tower had always scoffed at the gods for dragging Lori into their work, but Alexandra could sense that he was actually envious.

However, he was very confident in his scheme, certain that everything was interconnected and there was no room for the slightest mishap.

Therefore, what he least wanted was for Lowry to be involved in his scheme.

He might even blame Pat's unexpected disappearance on Lori... But the Tower Lord absolutely trusts Pat's loyalty and knows that Lori doesn't like to interfere in divine matters, so he wouldn't think that Lori and Pat did it on purpose.

This will only reinforce his belief in his past judgments: anything that Lowry gets involved in will inevitably be ruined.

Actually, it's not exactly wrong.

Alexandra rubbed her son's head, then stood up and helped Penelope up: "It's time for bed."
