Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 281: The Crowded Capital

Lowry silently retracted his claws, ah, no, hand.

Even if Cheska didn't say it so clearly, he actually had a similar feeling.

Whenever he saw the ball, he couldn't resist the urge to hit it.

The planet model he just photographed looked like a rapidly spinning top.

Moreover, it was all subconscious action.

Lori smiled helplessly... Indeed, in the dragon books he had read in the past, it was mentioned that dragons are really not lizards. If one has to find a similar animal, it can only be a cat.

Although the structure is more complex, dragon eyes are actually very similar to cat eyes, and the dragon's muscle groups are also very similar to those of a cat.

So, it’s normal to have a little cat-like hobby now and then, right?

Lori quickly calmed himself down and looked back at Chesca: "Come and try it to see if it works."

Although she received a generous salary, Chesca, who had been working overtime for many days in a row, walked silently in front... Although the planet model in front of her was made by Lori herself, Chesca, who did most of the writing work, felt that this was her work.

So, she didn't hide behind humbly like before, and came over as soon as Lori mentioned her.

Cheska thought for a moment and then clicked on the area on the planet model where the Northern Kingdom was located.

"User, Chesca Toler, verified."

The corners of Cheska's mouth couldn't help but twitch... She clearly didn't say this, but it was definitely her voice.

Sometimes, as a knight, she really didn't understand what was going on in the wizard's mind.

Even though Lori can be said to be someone she has watched grow up, it is still the same.

Who in their right mind would do such a thing?
Lori wasn't afraid of making her depressed.

Chesca shook her head helplessly, and for the first time in her heart she hoped that Lowry liked Taylor a little more.

If that doesn't work, Charles can also be used!

Valera gave up. Hearing her elder sister's voice would make her nervous.

In Cheska's fantasy, an illusory three-dimensional map of the Northern Kingdom was projected into the air.

The royal capital, the noble territories, and even some uninhabited forests and deserts were revealed one by one.

Chesca frowned and pointed at the thumbnail of the royal capital.

The other images gradually faded away, and the map of the royal capital began to expand rapidly.

Finally, a 9-square-meter miniature landscape was formed in front of her.

Every building is clearly visible, and the owners of some buildings are specifically marked.

Of course, there must be one in the royal palace as well.

Chesca's eyes suddenly widened... Does His Majesty the King have so many children?

If it weren't for such an intuitive demonstration, Chesca would never understand why many nobles regarded the princes and princesses of the White Dragon King as a threat.

However, now she can understand a little bit.

Indeed, because of their father's long life, most of the princes gave up their fight for the throne.

But at the same time, these princes also need status and income that match their identities.

Although King White Dragon would give these children an annual pension from his own private treasury, the bulk of the money came from the royal family’s inner treasury.

Although King Bailong has a bottom line and has never thought of using the national treasury to support his children...but doesn't the inner treasury have any connection with the outside world?
The reason why the King’s exclusive Chamber of Commerce has so many caravans is not because they have to support so many children?
Probably, after it was confirmed that the White Dragon King could remain in power for a long time, the great nobles of the North knew that someone like Earl Leon Hamilton would inevitably appear.

Therefore, many nobles, even if they were loyal to His Majesty the King, would no longer continue to serve him.

The better ones, like Lori's father, Count Montes, returned to his own home but was still willing to follow in the footsteps of the White Dragon King.

The ones who were almost there... were the nobles who tried hard to limit the power of the king.

They will not take the initiative to harm the king's interests, but they will not allow the king to get anything easily... They just won't go so far as to stand in the camp of the king's enemies.

It is not that they are disloyal. They just chose the interests of their family over the king.

However, compared to those nobles who were on guard against His Majesty the King, Count Montes, who did not even intend to stay in the capital to stop His Majesty the King but only hoped that his family could be saved, was the one who suffered the most tragic consequences...

In other words, this is why the Storm Church must start with the Montes family.

Only when this family suffers a tragic end will the other nobles completely stop trusting the great king who led them to expand the territory to its current size.

So, after the Montes family got into trouble, King White Dragon tried so hard to help Fabrice gain a foothold, even at the expense of the interests of Lady Yagris who had always been loyal to him?

Chesca turned around and glanced at Lori, whose expression did not change at all... Did the Baron and Lady Yagris understand all of this from the beginning, so they didn't fight for it at all?
Also, Lady Yagris, who always wanted to put on her armor again and fight for His Majesty the King, finally gave up her past dream and chose her own path as a knight. It was also because she had done her best for His Majesty the King, right?
Cheska sighed softly.

Before she saw this map, she always thought that His Majesty the King was really good to Lori and Lady Yagris and trusted them very much!
However, if those good things only come from a debt...

'Snapped! '

A big hand patted the back of her head. "Don't let your imagination run wild." Lori raised her chin slightly. "You've been with me for too long, so you think that those in power are all so tolerant and generous."

Lowry never thought that the four Toller siblings he raised would one day be lured away from him by others.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the four siblings are calm enough and not emotionally impulsive.

But if we only talk about benefits, no one can give more than him.

It's not just money, it's also about having enough resources, as well as enough trust and respect.

Without having to bend over backwards for money, how many people are willing to give up their dignity just for a little short-term benefit?
There is no way Lowry would reuse a fool like that.

In this world, it is very rare to find a superior like the White Dragon King who considers the feelings of his subordinates and is willing to let them choose their own path after they pay a certain price.

Most of them are the kind of bastards who make you feel like 007 is giving you face.

Cheska smiled awkwardly, put away the random thoughts in his head, and pointed to the large area on the map: "The open space on both sides of the palace will be occupied by the palaces of princes and princesses.

What should I do next? Go up the mountain behind?

impossible? "

Lori couldn't help but laugh: "In our Northern Kingdom, how many wealthy and powerful nobles are there who have not married into the royal family?"

Except for border areas.

No border earl would easily marry into the royal family.

After all, kings don't have very broad minds.

It would have been fine if there had been no opportunity in the past, but after all, the border earls had worked so hard and made such great contributions that the royal family could not easily make any small moves.

However, once the kings were sure that a border earl was willing to merge into the royal bloodline, it was guaranteed that there would be no hostess from other surnames in that family, and they would only be able to marry princesses from generation to generation.

Even Montes, who wanted to move inland, would not do such a stupid thing.

Of course, it doesn’t matter to them now.

Cheska couldn't help but click three times in mid-air, returning the map to the national mode. After a round of inspection, he said with eyes wide open: "Ah... the rich earl has already...

Your Majesty, how rich you are now!"

Except for the Storm Church, all those who were interested in this matter and above the rank of Marquis have been caught in one fell swoop.

The two most recent queens were both from earl families.

Apart from those belonging to the Church of Storms, those two are already the richest earls among the inland nobles.

The others certainly can't afford the queen's dowry.

"No wonder, as long as the new queen is positive, she will live longer and longer." Chesca murmured to herself.

Lori almost laughed out loud... Actually, it should be said that there are almost no families left who feel that there is hope for their own family and therefore try hard to make the current queen give up the throne.

Although King White Dragon is a little greedy, he will definitely not lower his own value to such a low level.

But it was impossible for those families to give him money again after they already had their own royal bloodline.

So, it’s a bit like the queen of consumables. As long as you don’t torture yourself, it’s actually fine.

For example, the current one has already passed the three-year deadline.

It's been five years and there's obviously nothing wrong with my health.

But her family is the weakest among all the queens so far.

Thinking of this, Lowry suddenly blinked his eyes: Lord of the Tower, when did you start to think that Pat had the potential to make the White Dragon King give up his usual chastity and accept a cult lover?

It shouldn't be long.

At least not when Lowry was a baby.

So, it was seven years ago when the White Dragon King married the first queen from the Earl's family?

Anyone who is observant should have guessed from that time that the Queen of the White Dragon King would no longer remain so youthful.

However, the White Dragon King himself is forever young and energetic.

But this person hasn't eaten the same dish for decades, or even hundreds of years.

Lowry shook his head slightly... None of these old guys are easy to mess with.

People like him who are simple-minded and need a long time to think things through should never jump into muddy water.

This is the most advantageous situation for him now.

He glanced at the map again and said softly, "Since there is no problem, let's take a look at other countries!"

Cheska's fingers wandered over the planet model for a while, finally skipping over the Ice Country and clicking on Vargas.
