Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 52 The Earl on Guard

After all, Alex will be the master of Montes Territory in the future.

Those people from the Order of Yagris certainly didn't want to change their stance, and it was even less likely that they would try to curry favor with Alex.

They were able to stay with Yagris for so long without being dealt with by Count Gezar, which shows that their self-esteem and willpower are very strong.

But it was impossible for them to work for a little girl like Cheska... the gap between them was too big.

Therefore, they will only focus on building the original knight order, allowing the Yagris Knights to operate independently and become an independent force.

Mrs. Yagris insisted on separating herself from Count Montes so clearly because she didn't want him to overreach too much.

Between the two of them, the one who will live longer is definitely Yagris herself. Her behavior is actually making it clear... Once the time comes, Mrs. Yagris will move directly to Lowry's place.

Pat actually also agreed with Yagris's decision. Although Lori was a weird kid, he definitely loved his mother very much.

Therefore, in Madam Yagris' sphere of influence, the Toller couple are now in the most awkward position.

In fact, they are the most active, quick-witted and most easily swayed pair in the Knights Templar.

Of course, they would definitely not betray Yagris, but sometimes, some things, once done, would give others an opportunity to take advantage.

So, that's why Yagris instructed Lori to choose Cheska as his first follower, right?
There were other people’s children who awakened at the same time as Cheska, and their strengths were almost the same.

However, at that time, everyone thought that Yagris did this in order to win over the restless hearts of his subordinates.

But now it seems that, in fact, Yagris feels that there is no need to care about the Tollers at all. It’s just that those children are a bit pitiful, and leaving their parents is the best option for them.

As for Mal and Komlan, although the results are the same, the reasons are very different... Those two are like their own fathers.

They all live as long as they can and just get by, and it all depends on whether the people who follow them have a conscience.

Master Lowry may have many little flaws, but he is definitely as good to his own people as his own mother.

It would not be a bad thing if Mr. and Mrs. Toller could finally keep the third child, who had always lived with them but was not taken seriously, and prevent him from sneaking away to Baron Gezar's territory after he came of age. Then no one would care about him.

Anyway, they have always been good at getting along with everyone, and even if they can't return to the Knights Templar, they will not be excluded by the Earl's original subordinates.

Logically speaking, she really only needed to wait until Count Montes's funeral was over and then move to Lowry's place with Lady Yagris.

Although it's not so glorious, this was once Yagris's dream and also their best way out.

However... Pat stared at the man who was discussing the educational philosophy of his three children with Mrs. Alex with a serious smile on his face, and his heart felt like fire was burning.

Some things, even if you no longer think of them even in your dreams at midnight, will be like a piece of candy stuck in your throat, which you can neither swallow nor spit out.

The happiness of the present and the beauty of the future all turned into gorgeous dresses torn into pieces in an instant, completely meaningless.

Pat looked up at the sky…the past thirty years were the time she had stolen back.

She took another steady look at her old friend and slowly retreated into the shadows.

No one noticed her movements as she walked towards the central castle, talking loudly in the twilight.

But, not everyone felt it.

"My Lord Earl, the cultists with the pack of ice dogs are expected to arrive in an hour and a half. We have already made precautions and, in accordance with your order, have asked Lady Yagris's knights to come over for assistance. They agreed readily."

In the large study on the third floor, a fully armed knight reported respectfully to Count Montes.

Count Montes nodded and said, “Yage will not let her men get involved with my two stupid sons, but we cannot send these people to Lori, so we can only let them have a better relationship with the Knights directly under our territory.

This is also good. Our Knights do need enough new blood.

So what if they won't work only for the Montes family?

The earldom is the greatest strength of our family."

"Pat has been keeping an eye on the scholar sent by Lady Natalie's family." A well-dressed gentleman standing beside the Earl's desk said softly, "Who do you think that guy is?

Yes, at the palace..."

“Normally speaking,” Count Montes thought for a while before answering, “but Pat must have seen this man before and thought he was dangerous, so he was so cautious.

According to the original position of the Gezar family, that guy is likely related to Count Gezar.

However, as long as there is no intersection on the table, we can't interfere too much.

Just keep Alex in check."

"Baron Batti...does he need another reminder?" the aide asked politely.

"During this period of time, please help me find out if there are any good girls who have grown up among the new nobles." Count Montes smiled cruelly, "It just so happens that Masood doesn't have any children yet."

"Yes! Lord Earl."

"My Lord Earl..." A soft voice came from outside the study, "It's time for the dinner."

The fully-armed knight saluted quickly and left through the secret door of the bookshelf that opened smoothly like flowing water.

The aide stood up and walked to the door, opening the single-sided soundproof door: "The Earl will be down immediately."

The night was dark, but the hall on the ground floor of the central castle was brightly lit.

The Count of Montes Castle held a rare dinner party attended only by the old Northern nobles... Although Lady Yagris was an old-school noble, she was also considered a representative of the new nobility.

With her around, new nobles will surely flock to her.

But at the banquet hosted by Alex and Natalie, the new nobles were clearly on the sidelines.

Although Count Montes was unwilling to see this situation and was shocked by the stupidity of his eldest son, he did not do much considering that most of the problems could be solved at once.

The new nobles who have not received the formal invitation will probably understand the Earl's intentions tomorrow and will not care about it anymore.

Yes... Alex was so stupid that he did not send invitations to every noble belonging to the earl when he found that the new nobles were doubtful and hesitant.

And let them come voluntarily as they did in the past.

Can this be the same?

When Lady Yagris held her first formal banquet, she personally wrote invitations to all those who were qualified to enter the Earl's Castle!
