Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 1105 is like looking in a mirror
Although no one had mentioned the horrific fate that had befallen Emilia City to Euphemia, she, who was used to hiding in the shadows, had heard bits and pieces of it.

The most unfortunate and innocent person in all of this is her.

Whatever fate Luciano gets, it's his own doing... He brought this person back himself, and the ones who casually arrange other people's marriages are his own parents.

But what about Euphemia?

She spent so much time in Emilia, and all she ever encountered was an improved version of Luciano, and she never took a liking to him.

Even though some of the girls around her had a good impression of the Crown Prince, Euphemia remained aloof and completely indifferent.

She was a smart girl, and she understood one thing very well... Even if reason makes people hesitate about certain things, goodwill will not disappear because of anything.

Even though she was standing far away, she couldn't stop that fleeting moment of attraction.

At the very least, seeing his face brings me joy.

But she never did.

Crown Prince Luciano has never been her type.

But after thinking it over, Euphemia realized that she really couldn't refuse.

She was far more pleasure-seeking than Antiochus.

Although she may have to be a crown princess for life, the Emilia family is known for its wealth!
Then all the resources they brought with them could be used on Antiochus.

It's just getting married, I don't dislike him or he's bad, what's wrong with that?
Could it be that you're really hoping for love?

Having grown up in Harvey Castle, she had no such inclination.

So what if you want to slack off a little and take advantage of others' opportunities?
She had nothing to lose or owe anyone, yet she was risking the danger of her long-lived partner having an affair... Euphemia didn't need to think much to understand why Her Majesty the Queen wanted her as her daughter-in-law.

Even without the favor of the Goddess of Night, her talent for shadows is exceptional, and she could definitely become a qualified Darkmoon.

Behind her was a backdrop that rivaled Queen Emilia's.

The identity that sounds impressive is actually useless; you can barely save your own life!
As long as someone steps forward to take responsibility and pays the so-called price, her family will not pursue the matter further.

Her father... always loved her the most.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Male believers in the Church of the Dark Night who lack this kind of mindset will inevitably have a very difficult time.

Ha~ Just look at Queen Louise's requirements for her daughter-in-law!
"Humble yourself to marry a wife" is indeed the motto of the Dark Night Church!
Euphemia herself never expected that her awkward identity and desolate homelessness would actually attract someone's attention.

Oh, right, there's also an older brother who might be taken back by the Earth Church. Although he won't be very comfortable there, he'll definitely do very well.

Moreover, Antirochus genuinely cared about her.

If Antirochus eventually rises to a high position in the Church of Emilia, then it won't matter if Luciano doesn't do things perfectly afterward!
The partner's brother could easily mediate... Between different factions, isn't the most important thing an opportunity for the two sides to sit down and clarify things?

Heh~ Of course, this is also why Euphemia is willing to accept the marriage alliance... If the other party didn't approach her for no reason, but also had something to ask for, it would make her more likely to weigh the pros and cons and then nod in agreement.

However, all of this is predicated on the premise that Queen Louise and her husband truly know everything about their son and have complete control over him, just as they appear to.

They couldn't do it, so they just used Euphemia as a guinea pig?

What's most infuriating is... Euphemia just can't understand how someone as clever and cunning as her could have died at the hands of those idiots around Luciano.
She's so perceptive that she would never allow someone who doesn't accept her to enter her space or even touch her food.

Unless... unless Luciano himself put the food to her mouth.

But that guy is a nature mage too!
How could anyone not detect poison in the food?
Euphemia couldn't understand it at all... but if that's how she died, it's normal that Antirochus would focus all his hatred on Luciano and want to kill him too.

If it were her, she would have done the same.

As Euphemia busied herself helping Penelope unpack the box, she pondered... no matter what exactly happened, Luciano was definitely her natural enemy.

If she accidentally gets too close to him, her seemingly over fate might suddenly resurface and slap her in the face.

What if he/she dies?

Euphemia vowed that from now on, she would avoid Prince Emilia at all costs and would definitely go around him.

No, that's not right.

She will no longer go to the Church of the Dark Night; she will simply be a free and unfettered caretaker of the Dark Night.

Although the Goddess of the Night cares about the Church of the Night, she does not require her followers to join the Church of the Night.

She also loves birds and fish! There aren't that many rules.

"Hmm?" Lori looked up at the starry sky.

"What's wrong?" Lily moved closer to him.

“There’s a strange feeling,” Lowry said in a low voice, frowning. “The sky seemed to have become a little clearer just a moment ago.”

Although Lowry never intended to walk the path of the gods, his sensitivity to the laws of the heavens far surpassed that of the gods.

He couldn't be mistaken about that instantaneous feeling of clarity.

The world seems to have become a little better for a moment.

Can't figure it out.

But Lowry always felt that this matter was somehow related to him.

Lily tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Anyway, you've already influenced a lot, Uncle Lowry."

In the words of the Lord of Storms... everything you've done over the past few decades is more valuable than what the Night Goddess has accomplished over the years.

A little more wouldn't be a problem.

"Anyway, it's all someone else who owes you!" "That won't do either." Lowry frowned slightly. "There should be limits to how much you can do for others."

If you give too much, the other party won't be able to repay... The only solution is to make the creditor disappear.

Lily looked up and thought for a moment before answering seriously, "It's not that bad."

After all, we have to find a way to repay your kindness, which is so great that you won't even reciprocate.

That's true.

Lowry nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Although he brought many positive changes to the world, none of them were done intentionally.

There may have been a lot of coincidences, but he still profited from them all.

With additions and subtractions, although it is still a virtuous deed, it is not so heavy as to risk offending the dragon race.

The White Dragon King is now more agreeable because the current situation is more favorable to him.

He had no interest in summoning dragons of other attributes to cause him trouble.

But if something were to happen to Lori, this young humanoid dragon, he would surely be able to contact some powerful dragon gods to take revenge... and incidentally, completely conquer this world.

Although the laws of the multiverse are chaotic, revenge is definitely the mainstream.

Even dragons will receive their due reward for this.

Although Lowry did not want this outcome.

But this was indeed the greatest guarantee for his life... or rather, it was the source of his confidence to maintain proper etiquette and remain neither arrogant nor servile when interacting with the gods.

However, he insisted on his own opinion: "I'd better not go out anymore."

Let's end it all here!

Lily thought for a moment before saying, "That's true, that thing is just around the corner."

As long as you don't actively get involved, even if Qingfeng Territory gets involved in some matters, it won't be too troublesome.

Lori leaned against the armrest and smiled at Lily: "You're a mature dragon lady now!"

I thought you'd go open blind boxes with Penelope.

“I still prefer your space blind boxes,” Lily said sincerely. “I’ve wanted to take them all apart for a long time, sell the ones with the largest space, and put the rest back together.”

You don't need to teach a shrewd businessman.

If dragons learned the capitalist way, they could definitely be compared to a certain race that everyone hates.

Fortunately, it's difficult for them to do that, since even capitalists have to make some sacrifices first.

And the dragon...

Even though Lily was the result of his very successful training, she was still just a capitalist with a slightly better face.

But after much deliberation, Lowry realized that only Lily was suitable to take over his territory.

Human selfishness and dragon selfishness are not the same thing.

As long as she has a constant stream of money, the dragon is satisfied... Her attitude towards her subordinates is generally that as long as they are useful, that's enough.

As long as the work is done, the dragon doesn't care about your time outside of work.

But human nobles are different.

Even so-called enlightened nobles want to see everyone serving them... regardless of the time or place.

He desires to see his territory prosper, with his people dressed neatly and politely, but he doesn't consider the source of this prosperity.

Most importantly, human memory is highly selective.

Lily, who understands that what belongs to Lori will not belong to her, will always remember that the allowances these people receive are Lori's property.

Just because Lowry has been away for a long time doesn't mean that part of the property should belong to her.

But humans will.

It's not uncommon for agents who have been in the business for a long time to come to see everyone as their own.

Lowry didn't care about these things before because of Chesca.

The four Ptole siblings were so deeply bound to him that some things were ingrained in their very bones and would never change.

Therefore, Chesca can ensure that nothing changes.

But even with Mar and Comran overseeing them, various problems will still arise when they are not around.

Fortunately, he still had Lily, and he had never tried to discourage her wishes because she was young and naive.

However, at that time, Lowry thought that Lily would eventually give up on this wish.

The importance of Qingfeng Territory to him could never surpass that of Lily.

He smiled and patted Lily's head, which was leaning against his chair. "Looks like you don't like kids as much anymore."

Lily nudged her head before softly replying, "It feels like looking in a mirror."
