Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 53 Arrogant Natalie
Although Count Montes was also resentful in his heart towards Mrs. Yagris who didn't care about anything.

But he still had his reason, and he knew very well that Mrs. Yagris had no obligation to take care of Mr. and Mrs. Alex, who had always been disrespectful to her.

Moreover, he was also wrong. He shouldn't have thought that what Yagris could do, Natalie could do as well.

Although she was trained to be a princess, she had never experienced actual combat. How could she possibly be compared to a great knight who had experienced hundreds of battles?
Perhaps only pride can be compared with Yagris.

But... Count Montes sighed deeply. It has been twelve years. If Natalie had been more careful and observed more of Yagris's methods, she would not have made so many mistakes.

Perhaps he never fell in love with Yagris because of too many external influences.

No, in fact, Yagris did not give him a chance to approach each other.

The contract they had made originally determined the unbridgeable gap between them from the very beginning.

Count Montes actually knew that he was the one who made the most mistakes.

When he treated the newlywed Yagris with a defensive attitude and had no expectations at all, it would naturally make the sensitive and decisive female knight make a firm and calm choice to completely eliminate the soft spot in her heart.

But what can he do?

Sometimes, meeting at the wrong time will not have a good ending.

Being able to slowly move towards each other's own directions like they are now without becoming enemies is already the best outcome for this couple.

Frankly speaking, he loved his children more, whom he had taken good care of for many years, even though they had brought him so much disappointment.

Even though, in everyone's eyes, Alex and Masood couldn't even touch Lowry's clothes.

But, how can one explain the human heart clearly?

Count Montes quietly put his clothes in order, abandoning his luxurious aristocratic attire and putting on an expensive silk shirt and ice silk trousers... Although it was a bit wasteful, this was the only way he could put on his armor as quickly as possible.

Touching the jewel ring on his hand and holding the exquisite cane, Count Montes slowly walked towards the stairs leading to the hall on the ground floor.

Standing at the corner, he glanced upward thoughtfully.

quietly.

Count Montes smiled slightly: Well, this is his battlefield, there is no need to drag innocent people into it.

"The Earl has arrived!"

Natalie, who was fluttering among the crowd in the hall like a swallow, quickly put away her exquisite ivory fan, picked up her long skirt and nimbly flashed to the bottom of the stairs.

Alex had already been standing here.

Although everything that happened in the castle was caused by him, Alex himself was just a silent young man who looked 70% similar to the count.

Of course, he really didn't need to say much.

There was always someone willing to speak up for him.

Therefore, Alex just accepted the love from his father and wife in silence with a clear conscience.

Even the domineering Natalie sometimes doesn't know what her husband is thinking.

But as long as those affectionate blue eyes gazed at her quietly, Natalie was willing to give everything for him. In fact, Alex looked almost exactly like the Count, but the color of his eyes was inherited from his mother's family, the dark blue.

The second son, Masood, looks very much like his handsome and weak uncle except for the color of his eyes.

As for the third son, Lori, there is really no trace of Count Montes on his face. It is said that except for the 5 points that resemble Lady Yagris, the remaining 5 points resemble his grandmother.

Especially those big purple eyes.

It is said that in the entire Northern Kingdom, only the family of Count Montes' mother has eyes of this color.

However, the biggest problem of that family is that they have few descendants, so their strength is really limited. They can help each other with the original Montes family, but it is impossible for them to really put in a lot of effort to help.

Otherwise, Count Montes, who was somewhat stretched due to the expansion of his territory, would not have married into large inland families one after another, leading to the embarrassing situation today.

After all, although nobles would not really cooperate with each other just because of their marriage relationship, it would be difficult for them to cooperate without them.

"Father." Alex bowed respectfully, his language still so scarce.

"Father, you are here!" Natalie quickly put on a smile and stopped Masood who was standing on the other side and was about to say something. "Everyone is waiting for you~
Even Baron Batty and Baron Dugan came from afar~
By the way, didn’t father say last time that he didn’t know how brother Lowry was doing recently?
Baron Dugan is here too, you can ask him!

I believe that Lord Dugan, as a neighbor, must be very concerned about Brother Lowry~"

Her tone was warm and sincere, but what she said was all roundabout ways to trick Masood.

To put it bluntly, Baron Dugan was dissatisfied with Lowry because of his relationship with Masood and was full of hostility towards the third young master of the Earl's Mansion.

But if he said it too well… As the second young master’s relative by marriage, why should he pay so much attention to Lowry, his former rival?
Count Montes took a deep breath, waved his hand and said impatiently: “Lori sent someone back a few days ago. He is doing well. It would be better if you cared less about him.

If you really want to know what Lori is doing lately, Natalie, I'm sure Lori wouldn't mind coming back and chatting with you.

Fortunately, he is not yet an adult, so there is no need to avoid suspicion."

The ivory fan in Natalie's hand made two "clicking" sounds. She smiled awkwardly and quickly threw it back into the small bag on her waist. She then quickly pulled out a magnificent mother-of-pearl lace fan, opened it, and simply held it tightly with both hands.

Count Montes stopped talking when he saw her begging for mercy... Of course, it was more likely that he saw a pair of blue eyes looking at him pitifully.

Count Montes, whose interest was dampened by Natalie's random firing, walked directly to the center of the hall, ignoring Masood who was hesitant to speak.

The second young master Montes looked at his brother and sister-in-law angrily.

Natalie held the delicate little fan to her face, only revealing a pair of affectionate eyes as she looked at Alex.

Alex shook his head helplessly and tapped her forehead with his finger: "Nonsense!"

However, as he was used to silence, his tone was always flat and it didn't sound like an accusation at all.

So, neither Natalie, who was being pointed out, nor Masood, who was standing behind them in anger, were affected at all.

Alex frowned and could only change the subject: "Where are the children?"

　The fan of a lady has always been her spokesperson. Natalie clasped her hands tightly around the open fan to say, "Please forgive me."

　　The second action, the fan covers the face, leaving only the eyes exposed - "Be careful, someone is watching us"
