Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 345: Cheska the Determined
Being granted a title is a great thing for ordinary people.

No matter how small their territory was, they were still feudal nobles, and their descendants would not be too embarrassed.

Moreover, where there is territory, there are taxes... Given the environment in which their territories are located, although they are strictly guarded, they are indeed located near major transportation routes.

As long as you behave yourself and have enough food and drink, there will be no problem.

However, they were once favored princes, and being ennobled would cut off their future.

Even though His Majesty the King will definitely live longer than them, his identity as the prince with the right of inheritance still gives them confidence.

Even if they die, as long as their title is still prince, their children will still have the right of inheritance.

If one chooses an heir from among grandchildren or even great-great-grandchildren, then there is no need to consider the issue of ranking.

As long as you have the ability, everyone has the opportunity.

Then, anyone can have this dream.

These princes worked desperately to amass wealth and win over the great nobles, all with the thought of having a chance to rise to power in the future.

However, conferring titles was a way for nobles to divide their families... and the royal family was no exception.

The ones that are separated are the side branches, and no one is an exception.

If it were any other royal family, there might still be a chance.

But... the White Dragon King's?

There are countless descendants, how can the side branches have the right to speak!

Even though they knew that their father favored the eldest prince's branch, they were indulged for so many years.

So, for these princes, these days were really a life worse than death.

But I still dare not die.

As the king, Travis has already shown leniency to them in his capacity as a father...then you still want to die, who are you dissatisfied with?

Even if Travis himself didn't have such thoughts, he didn't care if the princes thought he did.

After all, as long as they get through the initial stage because of this caution, they won't die even if those few people die.

As long as I am no longer tempted by anything, I can still live a good life.

At least Travis doesn't have to bear the crime of forcing his son to death.

Although he didn't care much about it, there was no need to memorize it if he could do without it.

Lowry was quite happy with the result.

Even on the day he received the news, he brought delicious food and wine to have dinner with Lady Yagris.

Neither he nor his mother mentioned the past events, they just got drunk in tacit understanding.

Regret, not really.

Even Lady Yagris didn't feel that way.

She knew very well that although Count Gezar could not force her at all without the prince, Lady Yagris was not completely powerless to resist.

It's just that she chose this path in order to solve the problem once and for all.

She will not regret her choice.

There were certainly regrets, but they had long gone with the wind and never troubled her.

Otherwise, Madam Yagris would not have been able to advance directly.

Mrs. Yagris was a person of easy-going, calm, resolute and persistent character. She would never say like others that she did not regret the marriage because of a child like Lowry.

Her understanding and judgment of all this comes from her own perspective.

The marriage was her own choice, so just look at what it brings to her.

If you can accept it and forget it, then it will pass.

As for the child... the child is a surprise. If the child is ordinary, then she can find a way to let him live an ordinary but good life. Mrs. Yagris has never thought of pinning her future on her child.

Although Lowry's surprise was a little too big.

But Mrs. Yagris never gave up her own path, and it was impossible for her to just sit back and enjoy the life just because her children were so outstanding.

Naturally, she has to fight for her future with her own hands.

But when Lowry came to her with the wine and the news, Mrs. Yagris still had mixed feelings.

She couldn't say it, so she had to get drunk.

The same thing went for Lori. She really couldn't say anything, so she could only get drunk with her mother.

For Lowry and Mrs. Yagris, the things of the past were gone with the wind after they drank that wine.

However, for other great nobles, especially those in the palace, it is absolutely unforgettable.

The assets confiscated from these princes were almost equivalent to ten years of national tax revenue.

This is the national tax of the Northern Kingdom!
The national treasury and the palace treasury were full in an instant.

The palace treasury was not so bad, as it was full of dividends from the caravans owned by the princes, as well as some profits from the palace assets that were originally allocated to them.

Although... did the princes earn that money from business? Those were all generous gifts from them!
But, at least, it is on the surface.

Even if the nobles were depressed, they couldn't say anything. Could he really tell why they bought these unnecessary things?

But the money collected in the national treasury was really a thorn in the side of the nobles.

Those were all assets that the princes had seized by force and force.

Of course, it should be said that it was the nobles who stood on the side who used various means to illegally or secretly send the mines and chambers of commerce to the princes. As long as there was no "origin" to be found, His Majesty Travis would classify it as black assets... For example, it was obtained from the Gezar family and then nationalized.

But which great nobleman dared to shout out in that limelight, "It is not as His Majesty the King said, it is mine!"
Say nothing!
No one wants to be categorized as a Ghezar.

But no one dared to say that they were forced.

It’s not like the princes are really dead.

The one on the throne is still his biological father.

Travis really made a fortune.

But the result is that, at least for a few decades, the nobles will probably stay away from palace affairs.

Therefore, even if Leon's brothers became successful again and his younger brother became powerful, no noble would be willing to pay attention to them.

Now, those who followed them were either court nobles who wanted to gain benefits from them, or people with ulterior motives.

There is nothing but false excitement.

But they themselves don't even know it, and when there's nothing going on, they start fighting among themselves.

However, Travis didn't care.

Smart people will naturally see Leon.

However, the unanimous response of the great nobles was to bypass Earl Hamilton.

Even though it was very likely that it was because of what he did that Princess Rosalind became what she was now, no noble said a word about it.

Everyone just talks about the Ice Kingdom.

The Prime Minister's statement would only make people with a discerning eye not even pull Lowry... He was more likely to dig that pit to target the Secretary of Commerce.

Lori blinked and turned to look at Chesca: "Among the two deputies of the Minister of Commerce, are there any people related to the Prime Minister?"

"Of course there is~" Chesca raised his head, "The deputy of any department must be a neutral party, a king's party.

Storm either has the ability to send its own people to the main position, or they can only be middle-level or deputy department positions, which basically have no place for them.

To be frank, they are neutrals, but to be honest, they are at least northerners.

They were originally the descendants of the nobles who existed only for the country under the will of the first king.

They will only side with the King's faction against the Storm faction."

Lori nodded and shook his head: "We don't need to care too much about the capital's affairs, just keep up with the intelligence."

"Yes, Lord Baron."

Lori tilted his head and asked curiously, "There shouldn't be much information on the ice field, right?
Why do you look so busy? "

Cheska's busy hands stopped, and he looked up at his lord with a look like the coldest ice blade: "My Lord Baron!
Did you forget...you asked me to combine the information from the Sebephia family and Vargas with the information from the Ice Kingdom?

If there are pieces of information that are intrinsically related, even if only possibly, put them together.

Besides, I can only do these things by myself!"

Lori smiled awkwardly: "Ah~ I was thinking..."

"Baron, I don't have a photographic memory like you!" Chesca interrupted his baron.

She knew that Lori sometimes overloaded her with work, not intentionally.

But for Lowry himself, he can remember the news he has seen, so he can use the clues in his memory as the main line and add the related news.

But he forgot that she, Cheska, was just a mortal being and didn't have such high intelligence!

The reason why they have such clear minds and some impressions of everything now is because the Baron has given them some special food.

Finally reacting, Lori moved uneasily: "Then I..."

“My Lord Baron…” Chesca’s tone softened, “Please forgive my momentary irritability.

These things are my job.

I actually understand.

You have given me the greatest help in getting me used to these matters as quickly as possible.

Even if I can train enough assistants in the future, it will be useless if I don’t count some information myself.

The only reason to be deceived is your own ignorance.

What you said about Montes and the others is meaningful to me as well."

Chesca looked at Lori, her cheeks flushed but her tone was firm: "Please don't mind my momentary confusion."

Lori nodded: "What I actually want to say is, Taylor and the others can always help you, right?"

Cheska shook his head: "My Lord Baron, I have actually discovered it.

Valeera and Charles have a good understanding of each other, so they have the same style of handling affairs.

When Charles saw that Valeera had only done half of her work, he continued without thinking.

But for my part, they have to watch it all over again.

I can't keep asking them for help.

I think I should first use this large amount of repetitive work to develop my own work style, and then look for people among my trusted assistants who can match my style. "

Lowry had nothing to say and could only nod blankly.
