Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 595: Why are you pretending?

Although he knew that doing so might easily be misunderstood, Leon couldn't help but staring at Yuri's fingers again and again... The last time Yuri took such good care of him was when he almost lost his life in order to save several children at home.

Think about it, it’s been thirty years!

Time is really interesting.

"Leon!" Patril shouted sharply, "where are your manners?

Even if you don't want to forgive me, at least you should respect my identity, right?

After all, I am your mother!"

"According to the royal list, I am a person without a mother." Leon did not intend to discuss severing ties or past grudges with her, as that would only give her the opportunity to pull back.

Just state the result directly.

"No matter who Ms. Patril is, it has nothing to do with me." Leon said expressionlessly, "The gods can all bear witness."

In order to beat him to death with a stick and trick his half-brother and sister at the same time, Mrs. Patrillier mobilized all her connections and even called in people from various major churches.

Normally, the internal affairs of the Northern Royal Family only need to be known to the Storm Church.

However, Schroeder, the High Priest of the Church of the Storm, was extremely flexible in his methods, and Patriel was worried.

As long as it does not harm the interests of the church, himself or his family, Priest Schroeder will definitely do the job for money.

Even if they are members of the Northern royal family, it’s no problem.

He just wanted to take more of the spoils from the Northern Kingdom, not to make himself king... The power struggle between the royal family and the Storm Nobles was only a part of the upper class of the Northern Kingdom. Together with the traditional nobles, they were the guarantee for the stability of the Northern regime and that it would never be stagnant.

No matter which side gains the upper hand, the other forces will not completely lose the power to resist.

It will only make the other two parties join hands secretly.

Doesn’t what happened to the Montes family prove this point?

Although the main reason for the former Earl's failure was bad luck and sharp vision, he certainly did not consider that the traditional nobles would suddenly turn to the side of the Storm Church.

After all, before His Majesty Travis appeared, traditional nobles would basically choose to stand on the side of the royal family and resist the Storm Nobles who had already walked out of the blockade area.

Unfortunately, Count Montes's political sensitivity was too poor. He never thought that when the royal family became powerful enough to handle everything on its own, the traditional nobles who had lost their value would naturally have to find value for themselves... Of course, those who only bet a portion of their assets could easily leave the table even if they lost. Those who bet their entire fortune would naturally become meat on the table to be eaten by the royal family who were being schemed against by them.

Leon looked at Yuri's steady fingers again... He wasn't that sharp, but he had Yuri.

I really taught him a lot and helped him a lot.

Over the years, Yuri's judgment has not been wrong, but it has never been completely the opposite.

Leon knew that some people were saying strange things.

After all, Yuri is really good-looking.

But so what?

Not to mention the friendship and trust between them for so many years, even if there was no such...capable person, would he be unnecessary just because he is so good-looking that he could be easily misunderstood?
Leon never thought that when asking people to do work, it was necessary to consider things other than ability and suitability.

The reason why there are not many women in the Tiger Blade Adventure Group is not because they don’t want them, but because female adventurers are simply too lazy to deal with these rough guys.

Even though Yuri is good-looking, it doesn't mean he can do housework!
Being clean only means that he will take care of his own affairs and allow the servants to see the guest room. As for the rest... it is a daydream to want him to help others with housework!
Most of the people in Tiger Blade were brought up by Leon and Yuri...there is nothing wrong with their character, but they are just rough.

Then, they only accept capable people, which means that they are not the only ones who choose the other party.

In a two-way choice, they are always willing and the other party wants to slip away.

Even if Leon swore that he would never let female adventurers become free maids!

The low pressure created by the silence and dissatisfaction of the woman opposite was not as strong as the little white dragon of Lori Montes's family. Leon tried very hard to bring back his thoughts.

Of course, it was more likely because of Yuri's eyes, which were sharper than a knife while he was peeling an orange.

Leon looked calmly at Ms. Patril opposite him, wondering if there was any other way she could take back the oath witnessed by the gods.

Patrice really had no solution.

But she had other ideas: "Even if I can't do it, your brother is still here!

He is your younger brother too!
Besides, he was so young at that time, he was innocent!"

Yuri's fingers were stiff as he peeled the last bit of the orange peel.

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with dark clouds... gloomy and full of murderous intent.

Leon smiled and took the unpeeled orange, opened it in half without a care, and stuffed the half without the peel back into Yuri's hand: "Calm down, didn't you let her in just to find out what she wants to do and what she has the confidence to do?

I'll just eat this side, it's just right to suppress the phlegm in my mouth, I almost spit it out." Yuri retracted his gaze and focused on the half orange in his palm: "You just listen to what Master Lori said, the pharmacist of the Church of the Earth didn't say that orange peel has this effect."

"His knowledge is not limited to our world." Leon waved his hand, "I can only say that those people don't understand and are unwilling to verify.

Last time, Miriam collected the peels of hundreds of oranges, boiled them in water and drank them, and found that they were indeed effective. "

"How come I don't know?" Yuri asked confidently...Patricil on the opposite side immediately looked at him with murderous eyes.

Yuri frowned slightly in his heart, his head turned, and he suddenly realized something.

Leon...the reason why I have never planned to get married and have children is, no, I have really been misunderstood, right?

isn't it?
Yuri couldn't believe his own judgment for a moment... How could someone be so stupid?
The royal family does not care what kind of lifestyle their family members choose, or whether their partner is a man or a woman.

But not the king.

If you want to be a king, you can be single your whole life and have numerous romantic affairs, but you cannot have hobbies that are not popular among the public, especially your sexual orientation.

This is something that will affect the entire country's atmosphere.

For a military-oriented country like the Kingdom of the North, the reproduction and growth of manpower is extremely important.

Although there is no famous warning saying in this world that "what the superiors like, the subordinates will like even more", those in power actually understand this truth.

A king may not bother to get married and have children because he thinks power is the most important thing, but he must not have hobbies that are too niche or even completely inconsistent with national principles.

From the day that His Majesty Travis chose Leon as the heir to the throne, the rumors and slander surrounding the two of them for many years had actually disappeared.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Leon just didn't want to get married, but there was absolutely nothing else to it.

In fact, when they were still Tiger Blade, there was no such rumor at all.

It’s not like the adventurers didn’t know how many lovers they had… If they really wanted to hide their differences, who would find a girl who’s also an adventurer as a cover?

Isn't that the same as giving yourself up to others to catch you?

But these annoying things appeared immediately after Leon became Earl of Hamilton.

They both understood that this was the result of envy, jealousy and hatred, and there was no point in saying anything.

Even someone as powerful as Lori Montez, who has no conflicts of interest with most people, has rumors all over the world!

However, Yuri was actually quite happy that the rumors had disappeared because of His Majesty Travis' choice.

It's not that he dislikes Leon.

If it was just that he and Leon had an abnormal relationship, Yuri wouldn't really care that much.

But why is he the one being suppressed?

With Leon's brain, he can make Leon paralyzed in bed for three days and three nights!
Yuri looked intently at Ms. Patrillier's face, which was full of disdain and contempt, and finally confirmed that the other party did believe the rumor.

Therefore, she dared to speak so openly about Leon's brother, not caring at all that those things that happened in the past were all caused by that "innocent" child.

Even if the vested interests do not take the initiative, they have no right to stand on the stage and shout.

But what if...

Yuri looked at Leon's face full of contempt, and whispered to him who had obviously not figured it out: "Ms. Patril means that since there is no room for another person between you and me, then you can let that little prince... Sorry, I really can't remember his name.

After all, he never showed up.”

Then he continued under Patrice's even more hateful eyes: "Give birth to more children to cover us."

Leon's eyes were confused for a moment, and it took him a while to understand Yuri's hint.

"What?" He blurted out an incredible word.

Then he turned to look at the eager lady and said, “You were just greedy and blind before, when did you become so stupid?

No, what use will the children you raise be if you are like this?

Ha~ No wonder there is no movement at all."

Patrice stood up suddenly and shouted sharply: "What are you pretending for!

If there wasn't a secret love, why would he give up his future and follow you?
I heard that his family is ready to send him to study under a great scholar!
But he went to accompany you through life and death, ha~
Who would do that for a friend? "

Leon looked at her quietly and raised one hand: “If you come here just to say these meaningless words, then leave immediately!
I thought you could come up with something like... huh?"

A flash of fire exploded from the body of the beautiful woman in men's clothing who was supporting Patricil, and rushed directly towards Leon.
