Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 189: Dangerous Toler Back Mountain

The butler's family has served the Montes family for generations. Logically, his father should be the butler for Fabrice.

However, his father, who had been with Alex for so many years, also failed to survive the disaster.

In other words, if he wanted his family to continue to exist, he couldn't keep his life.

You followed the wrong master. This is your fate. Death will be the end of it all.

But if he survived... he would have no choice but to take his family away from Montes Castle and completely sever the foundation laid by so many ancestors in the Montes Family.

Therefore, the housekeeper had to take the position hastily.

Of course, if his father had chosen his own life and finally taken them out of the castle, there would have been no crisis of survival afterwards.

The grandfather who truly knew most of the secrets had disappeared with the fall of the castle, and they were not yet qualified to be completely eradicated.

Of course, more importantly, the Montes family at that time no longer had the choice of "rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go".

Moreover, their family’s stewardship for so many years was not in vain, and successive Counts of Montes would not fail to see the contributions of those close to them… The status of a proper manor lord may only be possessed by those with the status of a castle steward, but it does not mean that every family member does not have a small manor.

Not to mention rewards like shops and city residences.

In fact, what their family got was even more than what some of the more remote Montes branches had.

Of course, they never feel that they are unworthy of this reward.

Just like that time, when his grandfather and father left this world along with the Earl and his eldest son.

Just like myself, even though I know I still have many flaws, I can still grit my teeth and step into the spotlight, sleeping only two hours a day.

The butler didn't know whether other noble butlers were similar to them, but loyalty seemed to be written into their blood from the very beginning.

He absolutely did not want to be the one who held the whole family back.

What's more, he doesn't want to become the biggest failure of the Earl's castle... No matter what the Earl's own strength is, he is the one who manages the castle.

The only thing to be thankful for was that this was a brand new castle and all the secret rooms were built under his nose.

Moreover, Count Montes, who had lost a lot of power, did not have so many secret things to do.

But he had only learned some basic courses on being a butler!
My strength is a bit behind, I’m only at level six.

He couldn't possibly compete with Count Fabrice to see who was stronger, could he?
Even though his grandfather died so quietly, he was actually the only tough guy in the castle who could stand up to Lady Yagris.

However, when the gun came from behind and he was completely unable to fight back, the grandfather's first reaction could only be to take his own life.

However, there is no need to mention this. If he had confronted him head-on, my grandfather would have died just as badly, so it cannot be said that his death was unjust.

That, after all, is the power that comes from the evil god.

Apart from those top figures at level 16, who can withstand it?
And his father has actually reached level 10.

However, the strength of Young Master Alex cannot be described in words, so his father can only silently accumulate his special expertise... Compared to his grandfather, his father is more of the type who chooses to hide himself.

The butler could still understand his father's choice... after all, he would have to stand behind Master Alex for a long time in the future.

He himself is the first official castle steward of level 6 in Montes Castle in such a long time.

Who can be suppressed?

The knights spoke much louder to him than they had to his grandfather.

The castle is currently so peaceful all because of the deterrent power of Lady Yagris.

The housekeeper's eyes suddenly became stern, and he pretended to shout a few words to the sky: "Mrs. Yagris! Where are you going?

Please, be careful!"

"Butler!" The door behind him was pushed open forcefully and hit the wall heavily, "How could you let Madam Yagris take the Earl away!

If she does harm to the Count..."

"Shut up!" the butler reprimanded sternly, "What nonsense are you talking about?
Have you forgotten that you are just a castle guard?

Lonnie Wasseff!
The Earl hasn't even appointed you as commander!

Are there some things that people of your status can just say casually?

Do you really think that Madam Yagris's men have not been doing much recently, so you dare to speak so arrogantly?

If you don't want to live, go die, don't drag me down with you!"

Lonnie Wassev, who was wearing a knight's armor, had a trace of dissatisfaction on his face, but he still knew that as long as the butler in front of him spoke, he would be expelled from the castle when the count came back... Even if he had some small calculations in his heart, the people in Montes Castle could only sell some information and say a few good words for some people. They still dared not do anything extra.

Fabrice chose to keep silent only because of his weak strength, but that doesn't mean he is a weak-willed person with no means to use.

To put it bluntly, the fact that Madam Yagris felt that it didn't matter and that she could take him with her and give him a hand proved that this kid was really capable.

If it were his biological father, this would absolutely not be possible.

Although Alex was good at talking, he was too extreme and a little greedy, and he didn't know what it meant to give before you take. With Mrs. Yagris's personality, she would never be interested in such a person.

"I'm sorry, butler, I'm just worried about Master Fabrice." Lonnie Wassev lowered his head and spoke softly.

"Maybe he heard that our young master has been in much better health recently, so he took him out to try his skills." Seeing Lonnie Wassev give in, the butler also relaxed his tone.

After all, no matter whether Lonnie Wassev had any ulterior motives, he was indeed the captain of the guard trained by the Montes family themselves.

Just like the butler, if anything happened to Fabrice, both of them would be buried with him.

As for why, in a relationship where everyone prospers and suffers together, the interests of the lord are damaged for some petty gains... greed exists without reason.

On the contrary, it was precisely because he felt that he would never betray that Lonnie Wassev became much bolder in his actions.

He actually didn't think that there was anything wrong with his little ways of "making money". All he lost was just a tiny bit of the Earl's profit!

But what he got was a huge amount of wealth that he had never been able to touch before!

Lonnie Wasseff felt that the branches of the Montes family must understand that if Fabrice was really gone, the Montes family would no longer be a count's family.

Therefore, at most they intended to take some benefits back from the castle, mostly for the manors and territories that were vacated by unexpected events.

Even if he, as the captain of the guard, guarded the castle diligently, there was no possibility for him to be awarded the title of lord of the manor.

I can only watch others fight for it.

So what if he took this opportunity to make some extra money?
Mrs. Yagris couldn't do anything to him.

Tsk~ Many members of this lady’s knight order now have manors!

Including the Toller couple who died in a ridiculous way.

Why are people like them eligible to be rewarded with the manor?
He completely forgot that the reason the Tollers were rewarded was because they had participated in border wars and made great contributions to the acquisition of new territories for the Northern Kingdom.

Or maybe he just wanted to forget.

Otherwise, how can I convince myself to sell out the interests of my lord?

The butler had a blank expression on his face, but when Lonnie Wassev walked to the window and looked out, he gave him a cold look.

The nobles will employ anyone who is useful.

However, the moral standards are worrying.

But as long as he doesn't dare to betray completely, then there must be a place for him to use his skills... Dirty people will naturally have dirty uses.

However, as long as Fabrice returns intact as a knight and takes back the military management of the territory, then Lonny Wassev will never be qualified to manage the security of the castle again.

The housekeeper could not blame Mrs. Yagris for these things because she didn't care about anything.

He knew very well that it was precisely because of the other party's style of doing things that the Montes family's branch could only use this method of bribery to do some shady things.

After all, if Lady Yagris showed signs of interfering with military power, Fabrice would have no way to refuse the "Montes" who volunteered to share his worries and help him fight against the oppression of the former Countess.

Sometimes, family members are not as reliable as outsiders.

However, they cannot be abandoned completely... When it comes to life and death, the only ones who will sacrifice their lives for Montes are the people of the family itself.

Moreover, when there is no opportunity, these side branches are indeed useful and easy to use.

Everything depends on Fabrice's own means and abilities.

No one could help him.
-
It feels so good to be above the white clouds!
It was just a little short. Feeling the Swift Wolf landing quickly, Fabrice, who was sitting behind Madam Yagris, asked curiously, "Madam Yagris, where is this?"

What appeared before his eyes was a chaotic valley.

There is a huge deep pit in the center of the valley, and there are cracks everywhere around the pit.

"Hmm?" Madam Yagris snorted in surprise, "Didn't Lowry say that he wanted to turn this place into a lake?

Oh, by the way, you don’t know, this is the hill behind Toller’s house.”

She turned to look at Fabrice and said, “Back when Lori was not yet completely independent, he set up a lot of magic traps here.

Didn’t Valera move to Gezar?

It gets more dangerous here.

Those two kids dare to throw anything here."

Fabrice suddenly laughed: "The hill behind Toller's house?"

"Why?" Mrs. Yagris asked noncommittally, "Does anyone on your side have plans to take over Toler Manor?"

"Mrs. Toller has a good reputation for business," Fabrice replied quietly.
