Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 500 Valera's Surprise
Under Lori's gaze, Chesca simply finished the last sentence: "So, he extends this invitation again, hoping that you can visit in person."

"Travis...is he seriously ill?" Lori put down the pen in his hand.

The long hours of analysis and calculation were already making him feel uncomfortable, and hearing these words made him really want to vomit.

"Does he think that the North is too peaceful now? He has to bring something like this in!" Lowry was really a little annoyed.

Although Leon is always busy, he is still a neighbor with whom he can communicate.

I didn't expect that after only twenty years of good times, they would be replaced by miserable times.

"I didn't want to tell you the contents of this letter. I could have just written a letter to refuse." Cheska said hesitantly, "But I don't know how Mrs. Yagris got the news and asked someone to inform me to show you this letter.

By the way, let me tell you something.

Although Lady Yagris followed the commander of the king's army back then, she had also dealt with Great Knight Ezra.

There are twelve branches of the King's Army, each with a chief commander and a deputy commander.

When she joined the army, it was the time when Great Knight Ezra was striving for the position of deputy commander.

In every competition for the chief and deputy chief of the King's Army, there are five or six candidates. All of them are the strongest of the local armies with outstanding military achievements and many followers. Among them are some big guys that even Lady Yagris feels afraid of.

But in the end, it was Ezra who became the deputy commander.

This is not something that can be easily accomplished with the support of the royal family.

Also, this guy has always been brainless and arrogant, but he has always been able to firmly hold on to his position as deputy commander. In fact, if the three commanders were not so powerful and had such noble status, Ezra would not have been unable to get involved.

Domineering has almost become his symbol...but it doesn't mean he is only domineering.

Although the army needs a strong leader, no one wants his superiors to treat him the same as outsiders.

Great Knight Ezra is not unpopular. "

Lori closed his eyes slightly, turned these words over in his mind, and finally figured it out.

Ezra understood that his actions would definitely cause Lori's dissatisfaction, but he had no choice but to do it.

After wearing the mask of domineering and madness for too long, he can no longer take it off whenever he wants.

His subordinates only recognize him as such.

Therefore, Ezra could not show weakness.

But he is not stupid and would not really offend Lowry. Normally, when facing Lowry, Ezra should be as warm to him as he is to his colleagues.

Instead of writing such a shameless letter.

"Give me the letter." Mrs. Yagris insisted that he read the letter in person instead of having Cheska relay it to him. There must be some reason.

He slowly spread out the scroll of letters… Formal letters from great nobles, if the words on them exceeded one page, would be replaced with this slightly hard silk paper.

This is not a luxury, after all, their ordinary stationery is quite expensive.

It was just a custom among the nobles that important information would never be split between two pieces of paper, especially if it was signed by one of their own.

In the magical world, you have to be careful about everything.

Suppressing his agitated heart caused by those brazen statements, Lowry read from beginning to end until the signature of Ezra Hamilton.

Nothing happened.

Lori thought about it and turned out his seal.

Then, he saw that Ezra's name on the letter began to glow slightly red.

A rough voice sounded in his ear: “I’m very sorry, Baron Lowry.

My name is Ezra Hamilton.

Although I am not very good at speaking, I have never thought about not being a human being.

This is all the will of His Majesty the King."

Hearing this, Lowry couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Ezra’s voice continued, “His Majesty the King said that he would greet you.

But I don’t quite believe him.

His Majesty Travis has been a swindler since he was young, and he likes to hide his true intentions and keep people guessing.

It’s okay to make others upset, but I don’t want to be cheated by him.

This is the only way I can communicate with you.

If, if you think later that I did something a little stupid, please believe that it is not my fault.

All this is the responsibility of His Majesty the King!"

The red light gradually faded, and Lori reached out and pressed the twitching corners of his mouth.

"My Lord Baron..." Seeing all this, Chesca felt a little uneasy.

If Madam Yagris hadn't reminded her, she would have ruined the Baron's plans!
"This is the job I gave you, and I asked you not to show me this meaningless letter. You did nothing wrong." Lori glanced at her, "Don't burden yourself for no reason. If there is any fault, it is my fault for classifying Ezra's letters as useless.

Besides, everyone knows that I hate these ineffective social interactions and rarely read emails myself!
My mother is not the kind of person who would interfere in these matters without reason. Someone must have informed her in advance.

She actually made it clear in private.

There should be someone my mother knows among Earl Ezra's men. You don't have to worry about this."

Cheska nodded in understanding.

“Your Majesty Travis, what are you trying to do?” Lori was a little confused, “Are you planning to eliminate all the unstable factors in the country before Leon ascends the throne?

It shouldn’t be that serious!
This can't be cleaned up in one or two times.

Leon is not a waste, so why do we need him to do these things?

Tsk~ Really…"

"Baron, then, how should I reply to this letter?" Cheska interrupted his mumbling.

The inauguration ceremony of Earl Hamilton took place just five days later.

Chesca had already prepared appropriate gifts according to aristocratic etiquette and was waiting to send someone to deliver them.

If the Baron changes his mind and wants to visit in person... then the gift will not be enough.

There is definitely a difference between gifts that are purely polite and gifts that represent friendship.

Lori knew that Chesca asked this because she didn't hear what Ezra said.

This is a letter condensed by mental power and can only be heard by a specific recipient.

Lori and Ezra had never met before, and the great knight couldn't determine his mental fluctuations, so he could only set it on Lori's baron seal.

Just like Madam Yagris said, this great knight is actually quite smart and capable... Most people don't have the ability to collect information about Lori's lord seal.

Even if it was given by Travis, it proved his status.

Lori shook her head slightly: "I won't go, you let Tai, no, let Valera go on my behalf."

"Okay." Chesca's eyes flashed, "I'll go inform Valera right away."
-
"Why let Sister Valera go?" Charles was a little puzzled. "Isn't Taylor quite free?"

During the coldest period of winter, even if the Castle Knights were fully equipped, they would not be able to patrol outside for long periods of time.

It hurts the horse too much.

But they still have to go out on patrol every once in a while to prevent any harmful wild animals from appearing in human settlements.

When Qingfeng Territory was not yet Qingfeng Territory, this was the most common disaster in winter.

For wild animals that find it difficult to find food, humans without shelter are the easiest meat for them to find.

Although these things have basically disappeared after Lowry became lord.

But no one knows whether some wandering creatures will suddenly appear.

However, there is no need to be too nervous. It is enough to patrol once every three days.

After spring, the Knights will basically have to patrol every day.

After all, at that time, they were not just guarding against animals.

Valera pondered and said, "The Baron attaches great importance to the new Earl of Hamilton."

Among the Qingfeng Territory officials who can be dispatched, Valeera is indeed the one with the strongest comprehensive status and strength.

Especially the reputation outside.

Although Cheska is the most important person in the territory, Valeera is definitely the strongest one in terms of strength.

In other words, Cheska is best for those who are close to you.

But to handle official business impartially and to show Qingfeng Territory’s serious attitude, it has to be Valeira.

If you want to stick to official business and don't want to build any friendship, then you must send Taylor... After all, it is the Earl's coronation ceremony, you can act like you don't care that much, but you must understand the etiquette.

Charles was a little confused: "How can the Baron give face to someone who wants to suppress our lord as soon as he comes here?"

"Perhaps, it was His Majesty's intention." Valera smiled calmly, "The royal family finally has their own border territory, so they must attach great importance to it.

There is no need to think too much about it. The Baron didn't say anything more. I just follow the rules."
-
Just follow the rules.

These words still seemed to echo in her ears, but Valera suddenly felt that she was a little too confident.

Looking back at the gifts on the carriage, she really wanted to turn around and leave with them.

Who on earth could have the idea of having a group of ordinary people stand outside the castle in such cold weather, sighing one by one about how rich Lord Ezra Hamilton was!

Valera really doubted whether the new Earl of Hamilton was mentally ill.

Who can't see that this was arranged by someone?
It's normal for ordinary people to take a look at the shiny castle and exclaim "How rich!", but if they were asked to give up the warm campfire and keep expressing their thoughts in the heavy snow... they would shiver!

Valera suddenly felt that maybe the Baron did not value Count Ezra, but... if it was Taylor who came, he might be too surprised and tell the truth too much.

"Miss Valera, there is a group of people catching up with us." A knight rode his horse towards her, "They seem to be from the Montes Territory."

Valera raised an eyebrow and said, "Move to the side and see who's coming."

Then she saw a big knight with a stern face... He was not looking at them, but was dazzled by the glittering crystal castle.

"Ortiz... Great Knight, why are you here?" Valera was very surprised.
