Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 538 Grand Welcome Dinner

The staff member in the silver-blue robe sighed sadly, "So, Miss Celis, you were attracted to the Mage Almes because of this?
That’s right, if a direct member of McMillan’s family could produce another priest, the deputy chief priest would be happy to teach him everything she knows.”

Celestia looked at the two aides and shook her head slightly… Such an almost imperceptible movement could probably only be confirmed by scholars with keen observation skills.

Fabrice knew nothing about what was going on outside his own castle.

He also had no interest in appearing in public while McMillan's group was still hanging around outside.

No matter what the purpose of this group of women is, ignoring it is the best solution... After all, McMillan's main target is the Schroeder family, and he can't take the initiative to prevent trouble for others.

Even when the MacMillan family really set off for Hamilton, Fabrice never showed up.

He even planned to stay at home and not come out until the two groups had finished fighting.
-
"Really? Are you here?" Count Ezra said dejectedly, "Can't Fabrice do something?"

"Isn't this something we've known for a long time?" Countess Hamilton, who was sitting next to him, looked at him in confusion, "Unless there's any movement from the Qingfeng leader, McMillan will definitely arrive before the wind season.

I'm still waiting for the gifts my son asked them to bring along!"

"Why would my brother look for them?" Pearl was not happy. "Don't we have a caravan at home?"

"McMillan, he's a Storm Knight!" Countess Hamilton said meaningfully, "The Storm Church is very good at making dimensional space wonders.

Like the first Earl McMillan, who had been praised by the Lord of Storms and rewarded by the Storm Pope...the storage tools in their hands could almost fill up an entire manor.

As the heir, Celestia McMillan must have it.

The thing your brother sent back must be very large."

She looked at her petty daughter and said, "The main mission of our caravan is to make money.

Your father lost all our savings over the years.

Even your brother Al spent his own money."

Pearl couldn't help but touch the ring on her finger.

Countess Hamilton said unhappily, "Just keep the money yourself! You don't need that much!"

Pearl smiled awkwardly, "I seem to be the only one in the family whose palms are facing upwards."

Count Ezra glanced at his wife's face quietly, and then said soothingly: "Our Pearl has managed her farm and forest very well!

Not everyone has a business mind, and for a girl like me, there is nothing I can do.”

He pointed at his nose with his backhanded finger: "Look, if I say I want to manage a store myself, Bowen will probably punch me."

The Countess of Hamilton paid no attention to her husband.

All her properties were her own private property. Although they would supplement the family income, she only contributed money and never did business.

He would never allow his inheritance to be mixed with Ezra's.

In business, no matter how good the relationship between a couple is, it is best for them to only regard each other as allies. They can help each other, but never agree that "what's yours is mine."

Otherwise, within two years it will become 'what's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine'.

Even though, as the more shrewd and financially savvy one of the couple, she would be the winner in the end... Bowen is indeed very capable, but he is a political aide and only knows traditional economic methods.

But the Countess of Hamilton had no intention of doing so.

After all, she cherishes her family very much and doesn't want her children to suffer.

Moreover, only in this way can she later give her children what she wants.

Otherwise, if she really had to follow the royal aristocracy's rules, how much could she give Pearl?

Not even if Pearl had always been a member of the family.

As for how much resources Ezra can give to Almes, what does it have to do with her?

It's not that she is not giving it to her son, she is just distributing it fairly.

Countess Hamilton stared at her daughter and changed the subject: "When Miss Macmillan arrives, you must behave gently."

Pearl said nothing.

"Pearl, are you worried that your brother will ignore you because he has a beloved woman?" Count Ezra couldn't help but comfort him, "No, Al is definitely still the most..."

"Ezra... dear, just stay away with your manly instincts." Countess Hamilton interrupted him grimly.

"Ah..." Ezra sat down obediently on the small sofa in the distance.

"Our Pearl wouldn't be so petty!" Countess Hamilton touched her daughter's hand soothingly, "Pearl will always hope that her brother can be happy, and will naturally only treat the people Al likes in a friendly way."

Pearl nodded heavily, "Of course! How could the person my brother likes not be good?"

"So, you don't like Celestia because you know that her pursuit of your brother is too utilitarian." Countess Hamilton said with a smile. "Deacon McMillan is old." Pearl said softly, "The McMillan family just doesn't have a suitable candidate for the priest."

Isn't it because they saw McMillan's predicament and the lack of successors in their family that the Schroeder family did such a thing that angered everyone?
McMillan, at least he has Celestia to support the Storm Knights!

The next generation of Schroeder doesn’t even have P.

How far are they from the hundred-year-old Officiant McMillan and the eighty-year-olds?
"I don't understand why my brother gave her the opportunity to get close to me." Pearl lowered her head and spoke slowly, "For the family?"

"For his own sake." Countess Hamilton couldn't help but laugh, "Pearl, please don't automatically and consciously glorify Al, okay?

How could he sacrifice himself for the benefit of his family!

Besides, when he met Celestia McMillan and their relationship became pretty good, your father was still working hard for the position of deputy commander in chief in the army!
Even Prince Leon is still working hard to build Hamilton County.

How many times have I told you? Don't judge the process by the results alone.

Even if you use it, you can't just look at what benefits outsiders get.

Look more at your brother and see what you can gain!"

Pearl was confused: "What can my brother, a member of the royal family, get from the Storm Nobles?"

'Snapped'!
Countess Hamilton impatiently reached out and patted her on the back of the head: “I hate people like you who like to sway when the water is half full.

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it!"

Count Ezra immediately stood up: “My dear, Miss Macmillan, the evening is coming.

Shall we have a party for her?

After all, she must make a public visit.”

Thanks to their son's little thoughts, they couldn't play dumb like Fabrice Montes.

"Open it..." Countess Hamilton narrowed her eyes, "By the way, remember to invite Baron Watson and his talented daughter.

What girl didn’t yearn for the female knight of Macmillan when she was a child?
-
As night falls, Hamilton Castle is brightly lit.

The dazzling castle exterior made Miss McMillan, who had just stepped out of the carriage, blink her eyes.

"Welcome to Hamilton, Miss Celestia McMillan. The night sky tonight is especially shining because of your arrival." A beautiful girl wearing an exquisite and luxurious knight's dress came up to greet them. "I am Pearl Hamilton. Please follow me!"

Celestia smiled and said, “Thank you for your compliment, Miss Pearl.

But I am a little curious, why is the castle I saw outside the city walls not so shining?"

"It didn't make any difference before," Pearl said with a smile, "but it seems to have some impact on people's nights, especially children who need to go to bed early.

Therefore, my father specially asked someone to suppress this light."

“Oh… that’s a pity.” Celestia replied with a smile, “High Priest Schroeder must be very sorry. He has always liked light.”
-
"Little girl, you are so wicked." Priest Schroeder put down the peephole in his hand and sneered.

"Master Priest?" Blair looked at him worriedly.

"There's no need to listen to what she said on purpose." Priest Schroeder waved his hand, "There's no need to pay too much attention to it. What can she do?

The real threat to me has nothing to do with her.

Want to take advantage of me...haha~ her mother is better!"

"Master Priest, please... be careful." Blair said with concern, "Earl Hamilton has so openly... shown his respect for the McMillan family!"

"What good can the royal family do?" Priest Schroeder said sarcastically, "They hope that McMillan will be stupid enough to attack me directly!
He will definitely just flatter her and won't even show a bad face."

Blair hesitated. "Miss McMillan sent someone to say she would come to the church to pray tomorrow morning."

Priest Schroeder looked at him in surprise: "Do you still want to refuse?

She's a Storm Rider!
I didn’t dare to say this when I was presiding over the Northland Church.”

"I understand." Blair said timidly.

"What do you know... Remember this, give her the treatment she deserves as the Duke's son!"

"Yes!"
-
Countess Hamilton, who was holding Ezra's arm, glanced out the window leisurely.

Ezra bowed his head slightly, "Dear?"

"It's all right." Countess Hamilton smiled back at him. "Miss Macmillan is coming in."

"Pearl performed perfectly, didn't she?" Ezra smiled with satisfaction.
