Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 507 Next Year's Social Season
Ortiz hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's always different in the army. Even the former Count Montes was a good soldier who kept his promises and valued friendship."

He glanced at Valera cautiously: "But after returning to the territory and inheriting the title... that's it, isn't it?"

Valera twitched the corners of her mouth slightly and gave him a forced smile.

Although the goal was achieved, this reaction was really annoying.

Isn't this equivalent to telling her that the reason Lady Yagris made a wrong judgment was that she confused Montes in the army with him as the border earl!
Although the Montes family dared not say too much, they always wanted the people of Qingfeng Territory to understand a little bit about Count Montes who died happily.

I don’t understand anything!

Both Lowry and Mrs. Yagris had long since stopped dwelling on the past.

But they also did not think that, given their own character, they would do the same thing as Count Montes if they encountered the same situation.

Therefore, people with different ideals cannot work together. It is better for everyone to go their own way.

Now I really can’t bear to leave and miss the past. It’s actually Montes and his gang who always want to drag Qingfeng down with them.

However, it was also these people who happily agreed with Count Montes when he made his choice.

When people want something, they know what they want, especially those who are not so thick-skinned as Ortiz.

He always sounds weak when he speaks.

It just looks annoying.

Anyway, her goal was achieved, at least Ortiz didn't seem to think much about it.

Valeera didn't plan to do anything, she just wanted to help Great Knight Ezra fill in his new character.

Otherwise, based on his previous performance in the army, the knight should have rushed out by now and thrown the Watson family out.

Even if a few children would die because of his 'temper', he shouldn't be so quiet.

Valeera deeply admired Count Ezra's endurance.

This is indeed the best way to deal with Watson's dirty trick, but most people really can't stand it.

If we don’t count Ezra’s previous glory in the army, for an ordinary noble, these are one of the few highlights in his life.

Even many natural enemies will not cause trouble on this day.

That was for the purpose of making enemies... Oh, that's not right. Baron Watson did this to disgust Earl Ezra by ruining his own family's reputation. Although it was very unpleasant, Earl Ezra could only treat it coldly and let the Watson family gradually lose its sense of existence, but he couldn't do anything too drastic.

After all, everyone knew that those whose sins were not punishable by death could not die at the hands of Ezra.

Even during the war, he could only plot against those Watsons in the army, and could not attack the orphans and widows of the Watson family who had escaped to a safe place.

There are too many eyes on me.

It’s not like Ezra doesn’t have enemies.

Moreover, the reason why the border earl has a noble status is that he is responsible for protecting his home and the people, and he must stand together with the North... He can exclude and neglect one of his subjects, but unless the other party openly rebels, he cannot do anything to destroy the entire family.

Of course, if it was Montes who encountered these things, there would actually be many solutions.

But Silla had just entered the North! He had to let the people in the North see his heart first, otherwise, how could he get people to follow him sincerely?

If you hold back this resentment today, it will be more difficult to get rid of it later.

The Watson family is taking a gamble by doing this.

If they win, they will sacrifice the lives of several children, but those in power headed by the Baron will not only be able to save their lives, but they can even keep some of their own power... Children are always the most concerned soft spot.

Whether Ezra did it or not, as long as he took action, he did it.

He could only learn to shout and make no excuses, and then never attack the Watson family again until fifty years after he completely controlled the North... Great Knight Ezra did not live that long.

If he could really hold on for another 50 years, he wouldn't have left the army at all!

If they lose, they will just start to be squeezed out of the upper power circle in the North. As long as the war is not nationwide, the Watson family will still be barons.

Either you wait until the new Earl Hamilton takes office, or you follow the example of the former Baron Qingfeng and exchange territories with others.

No matter how Valeera thought about it, she felt that Baron Watson must have a chance to exchange his territory, otherwise he would not be so bold in taking the gamble.

Otherwise, what would it matter even if you win the bet?

It is not easy to watch your family fail bit by bit.

But if it's just to buy some time, then it's understandable.

Valera let out a sigh, feeling a little bitter in her heart... for those ignorant children who were thrown in the hall, panicking and at a loss.

She couldn't help, otherwise it would bring trouble to her lord. At this moment, Valera even immediately understood why Baron Watson insisted that his daughter build a good relationship with Cheska.

It would be best if Sophia could get close to Lori. If that doesn't work, then if she could get in touch with Cheska, the chief steward of Qingfeng Territory, she could use him.

If the predictions of outsiders were true, the person sent here by Lori was Taylor, the simplest, most direct and most daring one among the siblings. Knowing that Sophia Watson and Cheska were friends, he might really feel sympathy for these children.

Valera gritted her teeth secretly.

Could it be that Taylor's personality and temper have been so clearly understood by people outside?

She actually knew that knights, especially those leading a group, had to have some compassion and a sense of loyalty in their bones... cold-hearted people could not work to unite people.

Lowry has also been trying to protect Taylor's inherent persistence, sensibility, and instinct to protect his shortcomings.

After all, for a newly established knightly order like theirs, the style established by the leader is very important.

If the knights following the captain do not have enough trust and reliance on him, the knight formation will not be able to generate enough resonance.

Even though the nobles were scheming against each other, as long as the country was thriving, everyone would try their best to avoid dragging the military, especially the middle-level officers, into the water.

Even though the chief officers in the army have certain positions, they all came from a period when they only needed to strive for military merit, kill enemies in battle, and train, and they did not need to consider too much about the ways of the world.

After the noble young masters and young ladies joined the army, if they wanted to climb up, they would look at their own military achievements and connections gained in the army. External forces were of no use at all.

Even a strong man like King White Dragon can only ensure that the interests of his own people are not violated, but cannot directly promote his own people.

In the noble territories, most of the knightly orders were actually similar to adventure groups. The knights in them mainly played a role of vigilance and defense. In real combat, they were not much different from guerrillas.

At most, I won't escape easily.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken the Knights of Yagris only twenty years to become one of the top forces in the Montes Territory.

Lori has always been caring towards his men, and both knightly orders, even the Castle Knights which has a more loose morale, were built on the model of military knightly orders.

Although those castle knights have many small thoughts, as long as Taylor is always the strongest and fair, they will follow him wholeheartedly.

The military knights are actually no more than that. How could it be possible that from the beginning they said 'the boss is at the top and everyone must follow him to the death'?

On the contrary, the knight orders of Mal and Comlan are relatively rare, and there are not many of them even in the army... If any knight order could achieve their level, they could immediately become an independent order that directly obeys the commander-in-chief.

Of course, Valera is happy to see Lori's attitude... Tyler is also her little brother who was raised by her!

Of course, I hope that this child will get better and better, and at least live to the age that a great knight should be.

But now, some people have begun to take advantage of Taylor's frankness and directness that comes from being loved.

After all, they are not an army, and they will not hesitate when outsiders take action.

Valera made up her mind to give Taylor a good beating when she got back, and make him memorize by heart what he should and shouldn't do before talking about anything else.

Also, she understood why Sofia had been hinting to Cheska not to be too nice to her.

What an understanding person.

But Valera could understand that in a place like the Watson family, where cubs could be thrown out as cannon fodder at will, it would be stupid to live to Sofia's age and still not know that the people you should be most wary of are your own people.

In fact, the Watson family’s indifference can be seen a little from the behavior of those children. Those children cried so miserably, but they did not support each other, but cried on their own.

Including the youngest one, none of them tried to seek help from their older brothers and sisters who were choking beside them.

Then Valera remembered what the girl had said about next year's social season.

Well, as someone who could somewhat resonate with that girl, Valeera knew very well that the happiest time for people like them would probably be when their family is destroyed!

Kind of interesting.

She licked her lower lip gently, and a hint of fierceness flashed in her eyes.

"It's almost time, Valera." Ortiz, who had been holding his chest and looking at the situation over there through the pillar, let out a long breath.

It's finally done.

These kids are really good at crying, and the Watson family is really shameless.

He just saw someone from the Watson family peeking in the corner!

Now, he could understand why Earl Ezra would rather his inauguration night dinner be completely ruined than come out.

"Let's go!" Valeera patted her beautiful long dress that she had carefully matched, not caring that no one paid attention to her grand appearance, and simply took the lead and walked towards the door.

"Those people, are they so bored that they have to see it to the end?" Ortiz muttered as he followed behind.
