Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 539 Baron Watson is watching
Countess Hamilton nodded: "According to our requirements for her, it is indeed perfect.

But you should be able to see that she was aroused by Celestia’s aura and was unwilling to admit defeat…”

“My dear,” Ezra interrupted her, “when faced with strong pressure, Pearl’s instinctive reaction is to stand up straight and fight.

Our daughter is doing well.

Our daughter doesn't need to strive for excellence or make progress, unless she needs it."

Almes thought so.

The child is naturally competitive and hopes that by the end of each day, he will be better than he was yesterday.

Ezra really couldn't understand it. Although he and his wife were strong-willed, they were really... not that extreme.

Pearl, in fact, is very much like them.

I will work hard for my future, but not too hard.

It wasn't so much that his wife felt Pearl was inferior to Miss Celestia, but rather that she couldn't stand seeing another girl bullying others in front of her.

However, when they were young, they would basically do the same thing when they met knights of similar age.

Even if you have not officially entered the order of knights, you will learn some methods during training on how to quickly cooperate with knights you are not familiar with.

If we really encounter a war situation, even if we cannot form a proper knight formation, we have to use a formal formation such as a circle formation or a long snake formation... at least we can coordinate with the front, back, left and right.

However, any knight formation must have a center point.

Even if it is a long snake formation, it has to be composed of three to five people in a wave shape of one bright and two dark, or two bright and three dark, and then these small formations are combined together.

If knights who have been together for many years are likely to give in because their companion is smarter and better at commanding, who would be so humble when they meet for the first time?
Especially the military.

Even if the king’s army is small, it still has tens of thousands of people... We can’t expect all these knights to get along with each other, right?

It's hard to recognize who it is when you meet them once.

Over time, the knights formed the current social mode... they would greet each other first when they met.

You will know who is strong and who is weak after a collision.

It even extended to many areas.

Among them, the most enthusiastic are our younger peers under the age of 60.

Those above actually don’t want to continue the competition.

But after the age of sixty, most knights below the middle level will begin to decline.

As for the high-level ones, they must know each other, and even know each other's level clearly.

Of course, more importantly, they have reached an age where they can no longer pretend to be ignorant and fearless, and must learn to be in awe of the strong.

Ezra looked at the pair of beautiful girls who came together with a smile.

He was already very satisfied with his daughter's performance.

Losing is nothing.

Celestia must be strong enough to be evaluated together with Lori even after he brought the white dragon home.

But Pearl not only did not lose control of her expression when being oppressed by Celestia's aura, she was even able to fight back sharply.

When Celestia mentioned the colorful light curtain outside the castle, she was actually reminding Pearl that their family had not yet been officially accepted by the people of the North, and most people were just watching the fun.

But Pearl responded very neatly... their family has begun to integrate into the life pattern of the North, and the adjustment with the people of the North is also going smoothly.

Celestia was not here to seek revenge, but just wanted to gain the upper hand in future cooperation, so she quickly turned the topic back to the Montes family.

No matter what the relationship between the two families will be like in the future, Hamilton and McMillan now have a common target of suppression: Schroeder.

Ezra gently patted the slender and strong little hand in his arm, and they both smiled at Celestia who was half a step behind Pearl.

"Welcome to Hamilton Castle, Miss MacMillan, I hope you have a good time." Earl Ezra nodded.

Countess Hamilton wore a gentle smile on her face and said softly, "Almes told me about your kindness in helping me. Thank you for your hard work.

Now that you know each other, why don't you let Pearl accompany you?
She is already very familiar with the castle."

Celestia bowed slightly and placed her hand on her chest: “It is my honor to be friends with Master Almes.

I am very happy to be with Miss Pearl."

Although the Earl and Countess were indeed standing in the center of the hall to welcome her, they couldn't always accompany her... Celestia was only the heir to the Earldom.

Just as she said, only Almes could be her friend.

As for Pearl, whether they can have any friendship depends on whether they have some common language in future interactions.

Count Ezra nodded: "Pearl, treat Miss McMillan well." "Yes! Father." Pearl answered in a clear voice and led Celestia into the crowd.

Now, in this hall, apart from Baron Watson, they are the two with the highest status.

Although the status of an earl's heir is generally considered the same as that of a baron, Celestia and Pearl are both great knights.

Only Baron Watson, whose knight rank was higher than theirs, had the status that required them to take the initiative to greet him.

However, according to some implicit rules, young unmarried girls can be a little reserved... Moreover, most of the older barons are not interested in dealing with these thorny little girls. They prefer male juniors who can give them guidance.

If there are women of equal status, of course the girls have to follow the rules.

So, Pearl hesitated a little.

According to the usual practice of noble ladies, she shouldn't ask Celestia if she wanted to meet Baron Watson... once the words were out, she had to go.

However, Baron Watson is obviously in collusion with Priest Schroeder, and Celestia might want to get to know him.

She thought about it, tilted her head to look at her mother, and then immediately remembered what Lady Hamilton had said before...Please ask Baron Watson to bring his lovely daughter along.

“Ms. McMillan, please come here.” She turned and led Celestia to the long dining table.

Although many people do not eat at a banquet, the first thing to lead the guests is always the dining table.

The host cannot leave the guests with empty stomachs. As for whether they are willing to eat or not, that is not the host's business.

Then Pearl saw a scene that surprised her.

Celestia McMillan picked up the silver plate in a casual manner, and without hesitation, she took the holy water on one side and poured it over the silver clamps, silver forks and silver spoons on the plate... This was a move that only great nobles could do to avoid suspicion. The healing ability of the Storm Holy Water was not very good, but it was very good at exorcising evil spirits and removing toxins. Then she turned her fingers slightly, and a breeze quickly dried the silver plate.

After that, Celestia began to quickly open the crystal cover and use silver tongs to put food on the plate.

Finally, he picked up a bottle of sealed fruit wine, casually pulled out the wax-sealed cork with one finger, and started eating quickly.

Pearl blinked.

Although many people know how to eat the food here, very few outsiders dare to put it in their mouths for the first time.

Yes, for Storm Knight, the proof of holy water is enough.

She ate small cakes, fruits and the like. The holy water on the silver plate had just dried up, not disappeared. If there was a problem, there would be a reaction if she put it on the plate.

Besides, for a great noble like Ezra, the only thing that cannot be guaranteed is the food that leaves the area under his control.

If anything goes wrong with the things on the dining table, their family won't have to worry about how to control the North in the future.

Pearl took the silver plate with a smile, and went through the test step by step before she picked up a small cake for herself and ate it slowly.

No matter what Miss Celestia wants to do, she just needs to do something that is consistent with her status.

"Baron Watson is watching them." Mrs. Hamilton said softly, standing behind the dark wall in the blind spot on the second floor.

Hamilton Castle is the most standard castle structure. The first-floor hall, which occupies two-thirds of the main building of the castle, has a ceiling height of three stories.

The remaining one third of the first floor is naturally the kitchen.

The second floor is the master's large study.

The third floor is where the little masters live, study and entertain.

The bedrooms are on the fourth and fifth floors.

Generally speaking, male heirs will live in the annex building on the left, while other descendants will live together on the right.

Next to the large study on the second floor, there must be several reception rooms, either visible or hidden.

Ezra and his wife were now staying in a dark room connected to the large study.

“Pearl didn’t bring Celestia to see Watson, and Celestia didn’t raise any objections.” Ezra shook his head, “She is truly a girl who can thrive in the capital despite being a Storm Noble.

She will definitely come to us in half an hour.

Watson, it's impossible not to see that."

"What on earth is Baron Watson doing?" Countess Hamilton was very puzzled. "Although no one likes his behavior, no one will interfere!"

Although there are always problems, the family model has long been the underlying rule for the nobility in this world.

The king cannot easily interfere in the internal affairs of these families.

Even a scumbag like Count Gezar had to reach out to other earls before he could be sentenced!
Even though everything seems to be going smoothly on the surface, to achieve this, those girls in Gezar have sold their souls!
The Watson family treats children as tools but does not over-consume them. They are not the only family in the world that does this.

Even though people may not like it, no one will really intervene.

“I looked up a lot of information.”

Bowen suddenly spoke up, startling Countess Hamilton: "Bowen, when did you come?"
