Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 498 Fabrice's New Butler
Although Ezra had a glorious day entering Hamilton Castle, he behaved very calmly afterwards.

He didn't even rush the northern nobles to visit him, but instead started to rebuild the very standard castle.

Leon and Yuri, the castle is actually very well built. Even someone as knowledgeable as Lori can feel the majesty and solemnity of the castle.

However, the overly pragmatic style of these two people made the castle look particularly serious...Lori would just take a look at it at most and would never live in it himself.

That feeling... was like standing in front of the big factory, looking at the senior brothers and sisters who were once suave, handsome and bright. The junior brothers and sisters were almost the same in appearance and temperament, almost the same symbol. He felt all kinds of emotions when they fled in silence.

That was the first time he understood how terrifying standardization was for a painter.

Lori originally thought that he was too sensitive, but judging from Ezra's performance, it was indeed Leon and Yuri who were not normal.

Ezra was just short of giving the castle a makeover.

However, he finally respected Leon's will... Although bronze wood and black granite are not very valuable, they are the best building materials in the North.

Bronze wood, in particular, has a protective power only slightly worse than granite, but weighs only one-tenth of granite... Most importantly, it has a very strong warmth-retaining effect.

Yuri is a very good housekeeper who is very good at budgeting.

Although bronze wood is expensive, it can solve the problem once and for all... Even in the coldest time in the North, all you need to do is light the fireplace.

The same cannot be said for Lowry’s castle.

All the benefits of bronze wood are lost in the face of its bluish-black appearance that is difficult to conceal with dye.

It's not that there is absolutely no way to color bronze wood, but the cost is not as good as choosing something else from the beginning... For example, like Lori did, using a large number of constant temperature arrays to smooth everything out.

However, most of the Northern Lords are quite pragmatic, and everyone understands Yuri's frugal style.

The money saved on fuel is what matters most.

Ezra was indeed rich, but even if a military noble could enjoy a little luxury, he could not afford to spend so much money on paint that had no use other than coloring just for the sake of looking good.

He finally chose to 'respect' the aesthetics of the future King of the North, and Lowry didn't find it strange at all.

But if he just passed by like this, the image he had worked so hard to build would inevitably collapse... When the Lord of Qingfeng Territory built his castle, he never considered whether the money he spent was cost-effective.

The way he went ahead without asking any questions made the people in the North deeply understand the style of the rich.

Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, and with what mentality he chose to appear in the North in this image, Ezra would not let his efforts go to waste.

So, he chose a very interesting method... adding a layer of cover to the outer wall of the castle.

Using a large number of crystal slabs of different colors... one side is crystal, the other side is stone... they pieced together geometric shapes, covering the castle in black and blue-black.

Ezra has done a great job of staying true to himself...Crystal is not a native mineral in the North, so it's very expensive here.

Even though the crystal plate is the cheapest crystal... the part connected to the stone cover, the huge amount of it is still jaw-dropping.

If Lowry didn't know that Ezra himself owned a giant crystal mine, he would probably think that the new Lord Hamilton was bold enough.

Therefore, the lords of the North were quietly waiting for the day when Earl Ezra would rebuild his castle.

"Earl Ezra Hamilton, the most important thing now is to let the people of the North recognize his identity as the Lord of the North, rather than to bully everyone." In the quiet Montes Castle, Fabrice chatted with his new butler with a smile, "The first difficulty he faces now is whether he can invite Uncle Lowry to attend his inauguration ceremony."

"Master Lori, you probably don't have that interest, do you?" The young butler gently poured a glass of fruit wine for Fabrice, "He didn't go when Master Leon took his place."

"So, he wisely chose to renovate his castle." Fabrice took a sip of wine. "This period of time is enough for him to test it out."

"My Lord Earl, are you...ready to go?" the butler asked hesitantly.

Logically speaking, the count should go.

But Fabrice had not allowed him to prepare the gifts and the luggage to be collected from Hamilton.

Although he could be considered a child of the Montes butler family, his father was only the younger brother of the previous butler. He only knew about many things but had never done anything about them.

I can only grope my way around.

Fortunately, although his uncle retired and was unable to pass the position of steward to his son, he at least escaped unscathed.

Count Fabrice was quite tolerant and did not intend to hold a grudge against him over the past, so the former butler did not leave any obstacles behind when he left.

But he must still be feeling uncomfortable, and it would be impossible for him to teach his successor well.

The new housekeeper had to figure things out on his own under these circumstances.

However, he was smart enough to know that Fabrice must have his backing if he dared to change the butler, so he would ask if there was anything.

Fabrice really didn't think he was useless, and he would patiently teach him any problem he encountered. "I will definitely go." Fabrice smiled, "But I have to be prepared after Uncle Lori makes a move.

Even the movement of rejection.”

The housekeeper asked hesitantly, "Is this okay?"

Fabrice raised his eyes and looked at him: "Don't worry, Uncle Lowry won't bother me with this level of bullying.

Just find the right balance.”

Fabrice didn't really care about the troubles of the previous butler.

Although Fabrice felt a little uncomfortable with the butler's silly daughter, this discomfort did not affect his trust in the butler, who had served Count Montes for generations and countless people had sacrificed their lives for their family.

Fabrice just wanted to communicate with him properly and re-adjust their ideas... He was not the same type of person as his father, and many things were really unnecessary.

However, he discovered that the housekeeper did not hate him, but hated Mrs. Yagris and Uncle Lorry.

Of course, the butler knew that his resentment was non-existent to those two, so he chose to start with the relationship between Fabrice and Lori.

As a 'smart man', the steward would definitely not openly instigate or plot against them. He simply allowed the Montes Territory to overuse the power of the Qingfeng Territory.

Although, Lowry was a fairly generous uncle, and he ignored some of his nephew's subtle actions, which was also a low-key recognition.

But the other people in Qingfeng Leader don’t think so.

If you go too far, someone will definitely be dissatisfied.

But as long as Lowry can still endure, these people can only consider themselves unlucky.

But there was no way they wouldn't complain to Lowry.

Over time, when Fabrice feels that he can survive independently and no longer needs to rely on Lori, the relationship between them will definitely become completely cold.

If Fabrice didn't know the truth, he would probably think that Uncle Lori was still brooding over the past events... Then, in order to respect his uncle's feelings, Fabrice would have to stay where he was and wait silently for the day when his uncle let it go.

Uncle Lowry is a good man, and even if he hates Fabrice's existence, he won't let him fend for himself... Fabrice has known this for a long time, and it will really affect him.

The former butler had good intentions, but unfortunately, Fabrice was very sensitive to anything related to his Uncle Lori, and he was caught by Fabrice just as he started to make a move.

Although the former butler's defense was reasonable and convincing... Fabrice didn't believe a word of it.

A butler is just someone who assists him in his work, not someone who makes decisions for him... Fabrice is absolutely the same as Lori in this respect, as they were both taught by Madam Yagris.

Fabrice was no longer the man who could only rely on Madame Yagris to be the master of the household, so he simply kicked out his predecessor's family and called the new butler and his family into the castle.

The new butler Patterson is a little younger than him, but he also completed the basic butler course that year... Although Lowry, who is of the same age, will definitely not use him, there is still Kyle!

If those bad things hadn't happened, Patterson, who was a few years older than Kyle, would have stayed with Kyle and taken care of his household affairs after he turned 16.

Mrs. Yagris should have actually arranged a similar person for Uncle Lorry.

However, because of his parents' magical operation, Uncle Lowry, who was only 8 years old, was separated from the family. The Knight Chesca took over all the daily management work directly, and did it perfectly.

The things prepared by Mrs. Yagris were simply not sent over.

Later on...with the collapse of Montes Castle, it is no longer worth mentioning.

The unlucky Patterson family was very lucky to escape unscathed in the incident.

The reason why they were unlucky was that Patterson's father was supposed to be with his unlucky second uncle.

However, his second uncle never separated from the family and always lived on the left wing of Fabrice's family.

There can't be two butlers on the left who have anything to say.

That younger brother, no matter which brother he was, naturally had no choice but to take a step back.

The Patterson family had no choice but to leave the castle and place their hopes on Patterson's generation.

It just so happened that Fabrice had a younger brother of the right age.

As a person of appropriate age and, as everyone knew, a victim, Patterson was recruited back into the castle to begin studying butler courses.

Fabrice was quite grateful for this, even if he had to teach many things bit by bit, he was willing to do so.
