Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 13 Lowry was sent away in the chaos

How chaotic the subsequent events were was so profound that Lori was still confused until he was sent to the messy Baron Gezar's mansion by his biological mother.

The man sent by the Noble Office was very professional, and no matter what ghost stories he heard, including whether the Montes family's position on Lowry had changed, he conscientiously read the text according to the wishes of the man who 'paid a lot of money'.

He didn't care at all how ugly the eldest son of a certain earl's face looked when he heard his tactful but firm and heart-piercing words to drive him away.

His work ethic does not include such troublesome after-sales service.

As for what Count Montes thinks, it doesn't matter to me.

Anyway, their copywriters would give all parties some approval before finalizing the draft. Since the Earl did not pay to modify certain words at the time, they could only accept the result of having no return.

Therefore, even though they saw with their own eyes the bruised back of the Countess's hand, and were aware of the Countess's foot stepping firmly on the Earl's instep under her beautiful long skirt, these noble messengers also praised Lowry's beautiful and exquisite robe for how well it suited him, and hinted that they were only doing the job for money, and asked Lowry not to bear a grudge, and then they quickly slipped away.

Although they were not worried that seeing Count Montes's fun would affect their comfortable days, as nobles, even if they did not have their own territories, they would not offend a wizard who would definitely live a long life for the sake of their descendants.

They work so hard to make money, isn't it just to build a territory one day?

Who would offend Lowry, who sounds like he has great talent, at this time!
As for what this document they read out says about Lowry... well, it's okay as long as it's not really bad.

These people who came from royal aristocrats spoke in a particularly tactful and flowery way.

With Lowry's relatively simple mind, for a moment he couldn't tell whether the words of these people meant good or bad.

So, after dealing with it for a few times, he fell into deep thought.

Fortunately, no one would expect an eight-year-old boy to understand everything now. Those words were mainly for Lowry to repeat to his wolf mother who was obviously about to explode.

No one would think that Lowry, who has the gift of a mage, would be unable to even repeat the whole thing.

However, knowing that he would soon be forced to be independent, Lowry still hoped to rely on his own analytical ability to understand these words bit by bit.

Anyway, as long as he looked confused and bewildered, no one would ask him to stop the Countess from starting a war again.

Although Countess Yagris beat up her own husband, in fact, every word she said was directed at the count's shameless former father-in-law... The purpose was naturally to satirize the count's eldest son in a roundabout way.

This lady has always known how to have the best of both worlds.

While making her ignorant husband feel pain, she also had to completely separate her son from his two half-brothers.

But as a great knight with a clear bottom line, Lady Yagris would never show any ill will towards the two children unless they were rude to her in person.

Whenever she had any problem, she would go directly to the Earl.

The people of the Earldom of Montes have always loved her very much because of the noble character she has demonstrated.

It was in this incredibly chaotic situation that Lori was shoved onto a carriage and sent directly to the Barony of Gezar...with his official documents of ennobling the title.

Although in reality the document would not become effective until he was 16 years old.

But now Lori can exercise his baronial power... especially when his guardian, Lady Yagris, lets him do everything. Lady Yagris only had time to tell Lori that he could build the castle however he wanted, and then she left in a hurry.

Those who knew her thought that she was going back to continue fighting with her husband, while those who didn't thought that she had absconded with the money.

In fact, the difference is not that big.

Lori looked at Chesca holding a thick account book, Comlan and Mal carrying huge boxes, and Taylor carrying a suitcase with a confused look on his face, not knowing how he got here. He really felt that he was doomed.

He didn’t even leave him a financial officer!
Although this is because Lowry had revealed his talent for "being good at settling accounts" a long time ago, and he also brought Chesca out.

There was no way. Even though he wasn’t a good student in the past, he couldn’t be called a poor student either... His IQ was just not high enough, but he still studied very hard.

After all, he knew very early that if he couldn't read, he would have no future. The day he finished his studies would be the day he entered society and started to support himself.

Therefore, his calculation ability is actually quite strong.

Not to mention that he was a draftsman who was paid by size and had to know his income and expenditure very well in order to arrange his life.

Some things cannot be covered up. For example, anyone who lives a calculative life would be furious when seeing the ridiculous account book where 50 plus 50 equals 150.

The key is that it still includes his daily living expenses.

Mrs. Yagris was very bad at this. The only thing she could calculate clearly was food and military supplies.

Fortunately, Pat, who was beside Yagris, was always smart and capable, but most of his energy in the early stage was consumed by the head maid on the left wing who always stretched her hands too far, so he was negligent for a moment and was deceived by a maid from the Gezar family who was trustworthy in the past.

It may not sound nice to say that there is darkness under the lamp, but it is actually the most common thing.

Pat, who had too many things to manage, didn't pay too much attention to the fact that Lowry burned a few more candles until Lowry himself, who had started learning to read, discovered that something was wrong.

Fortunately, Cheska had a good talent for mathematics, and he could immediately take over the account book beside him after Lowry gave him a little hint, so he didn't get himself into trouble.

Of course, the more important reason is that the nobles would not do these lowly and useless things themselves.

However, the nobles who were unaware of even these little things were able to measure and calculate the income of the territory.

I don’t know when this trend started... Maybe it was to cultivate the confidence of the nobles to spend money like water?
It seems that nobles don't like to use "smart and capable" as a positive adjective.

Anyway, Lowry couldn't accept it.

Since he couldn't do it openly, he would calculate it secretly. After all, he couldn't let others spend his money and treat him like a fool.

But, leaving everything to them, the oldest of whom was only 12 years old...Lori couldn't help but wonder if there was some trouble in the Montes Territory that he didn't know about.

"Master Lowry... no, Lord Baron..." Chesca put down the account book in his hand and asked seriously, "Should we swear allegiance first?"
