Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 604 Worried Mother

The fully armed Countess Hamilton stood at the door of Storm Church with a serious face.

When dawn arrived, she took her own guards and some of the territory's knights and began to gradually clean up those guys who came to the city to fish in troubled waters, and it was only just now that it came to an end.

Fortunately, even when there are serious matters, the Lord of Storms has never given up his usual style... After everything, a storm will be used to solve all the problems.

Of course, there may be some spies from other churches or countries mixed in and swept up in the mix.

But these people couldn't explain why they wanted to spy on God in the same way as those cultists.
Intelligence personnel who truly have no bad intentions will only hide in a relatively far place, watch with magic items, and will never easily approach the battlefield.

So, there was no accidental injury at all, it was a mistake to come.

The real trouble is to deal with the areas where the corpses are lying, and to determine whether these places are being used or have problems in the first place.

If it were the Montes family of the past, or even Leon, there would be no need to be so cautious.

But after all, their family had only been in Hamilton for less than a year, and they could not leave behind a reputation of being ostracizing dissidents and having bad intentions towards those left behind by their predecessors.

Especially since the former Prince Leon is on the road to accepting the throne.

It would be easier if he succeeded to the throne. No one would think that Ezra's family would offend His Majesty the King for such a thing.

But now, if they are not careful, they may be dragged into the mess of succession to the throne.

She had finally escaped from this chaos with all her wealth, and she would never send herself back into it just because she wanted to be a little lazy.

However, after much rushing, she finally managed to come up with a rough outline and hurried over to meet Almes.

Although you can't be too rough and unreasonable, you don't need to be too soft when searching.

They just don't want to cause trouble, they are not afraid yet.

Furthermore, with the might of the Lord of Storms above him, people who do not have any problems will generally not refuse to cooperate.

Under the heavy pressure of divine authority, royal authority and feudal sovereignty, no one would feel that being suspected is an insult.

Countess Hamilton bit her lower lip nervously, and the reins in her hands seemed to become extremely heavy.

Of course she wanted to rush in.

Whether or not the Lord of Storms is in control of the situation, her son is among those adventuring.

This was why she desperately didn't want Almes to come back.

Originally, it should have been her and Ezra who rushed in!

Maybe their brains were not as sharp as Almes's, but the Countess was still very confident in her fighting ability and reaction speed.

At most, you'll make a few more mistakes, try a few more times, and get a few more wounds on your body.

But it's better than watching my son in danger!
In fact, they were sent in by their parents themselves.

On the contrary, it didn't matter to Pearl. Their daughter was notoriously spoiled. The nobles and knights in the territory had no expectations of her, and they would not do anything indirect just because Almes, the first heir, was away... With Pearl's personality, if others discussed with her about Almes who had been in the capital, they would only be met with endless praise and admiration.

However, Almes returned after learning about the situation in the territory.

As long as he is around, there are some things that only he can do.

The Countess cannot replace him... not because of power issues, but because Almes is the royal bloodline.

The first king of the Northern Kingdom left countless benefits to his descendants, but also endless responsibilities and obligations.

The Northern Royal Family would never allow their descendants with inheritance rights to retain manpower and consider the future like other nobles did.

Otherwise, the royal family back then wouldn't have been left with only that annoying guy who gave Gezaar to the Storm Nobles because of the White Dragon War... and even if he was the least talented descendant in the royal family, his father, brother, and himself had all been to the battlefield in person.

The rules set by the first king were not just for the person on the throne.

The same must be done by the royal family's side branches who become territorial nobles.

Of course, there is no problem if you give up your inheritance rights.

For example, Pearl.

If she was present in this incident but Countess Hamilton still entered the Storm Church, she would be judged as an unqualified heir... But there is a prerequisite: the difference in strength between Pearl and the Countess is not big, at most she is a little weaker.

But Pearl's performance was obviously worse.

Then Pearl would not be completely disinherited, but would only be judged as the last of the eligible people.

Even if Almes finally chooses to remain single and Pearl gets married and has children, and even if the children belong to the Hamilton family, as long as her children are outstanding enough, their inheritance rights will be higher than Pearl's.

None of this mattered to Pearl.

Although their little daughter was spoiled and willful, she knew that she should not cause trouble to others just because she wanted to... If Pearl insisted on going in, then they would have to send their most capable subordinates to assist her.

These people were supposed to be on their own to clean up the exposed adventure groups and small nobles. Her children were all very good children.

So, how could she watch anyone in danger?

Sometimes, the people standing outside are the ones who suffer the most.

But Almes was different.

Her eldest son had been proud and independent since childhood, and there was no way he would allow himself to hide behind his parents.

Countess, no matter how unwilling you are, you can't ask Almes to give up his inheritance rights!
She loves her children, but not to the point of blindness.

Therefore, although staying in Hamilton City would require dealing with a lot of tedious and confusing affairs, she still chose to stay here and let Ezra lead the Knights to deal with those small nobles who were connected with the cult.

However, it is not completely without benefits.

At least as long as Pearl takes care of the castle's internal affairs, she can be considered to have fulfilled her duties as a member of the royal family, and her rights and interests will not be harmed.

The Countess sighed slightly as she looked at the church door that had been struck by lightning, blown by strong winds, torn into pieces and then restored to its original appearance... She actually knew very well that as long as Almes knew these things, he would definitely come back.

He would never ignore the safety of his parents and the future of his sister.

The children are all good kids, and they think they are qualified parents...but how come they have to encounter this damn world!
Why must change happen in their era?

Looking up at the ugly beetles in the sun, Countess Hamilton gritted her teeth viciously...They are all so honest!

Since fate will not let them go, then, take up arms!

No one should think of harming her children before she falls!
At this moment, the door of Storm Church was slowly pushed open.

"Oh~ It's Madam~" Casimir's loud voice rang out, "Master Al, Madam is here."

"Mom?" Although he used a question, Almes' tone was very calm, as if he had known that someone would be standing outside... he just wasn't sure who it was.

He calmly flashed out from behind Casimir, looked up and down at the Countess, and after confirming that even the cloak behind her was not stained and was only slightly wrinkled, he looked at the group of knights standing behind her who were a little embarrassed but basically had no scars, and then he said simply: "Mom, the matter here in the Storm Church has come to an end.

Although Priest Schroeder was a jerk, he basically didn't leave us any trouble.

The key figures were also swept away by the Lord of Storms."

The countess looked up at him and found that her son only had a few water marks on the hem of his robe and his clothes were a little wrinkled, then she smiled and nodded: "Very good.

Well, the city's affairs are temporarily concluded, and we can just keep it sealed off for another three days."

Although the Lord of Storms used his ultimate move to knock out all those with problems...some of the more serious ones were even had their roofs blown off, and they were killed directly in their own rooms.

But as Lord Hamilton, it is impossible and unnecessary to rely on divine power for everything.

They must not announce it to the outside world, because according to the judgment of the Lord of Storms, they have already eliminated all the rebels.

Moreover, for the next three days, the atmosphere in the city must continue to be kept tense.

It would be even better if we could catch a few spies during this period who failed to stock up on supplies and were forced to go out shopping.

In short, when everything was over, it must be because of the lord's caution, intelligence, seriousness and piety that he was able to resolve all the invading enemies with the help of the Lord of Storms... It would certainly not be possible to completely deny the contribution of the Lord of Storms.

That's asking for death.

The Lord of Storms doesn't care about humans' little tricks, he just wants to accomplish his goals.

But that doesn't mean he can accept human's slander... He has never allowed evil to do evil in his own territory.

For him, it is slander to say that he did not try his best and that it is entirely up to humans to solve the problem.

Definitely worth a big storm.

Almes knew all this, so he immediately asked, "Do you want me to take care of it?"

"Will you leave the palace and return to Hamilton in twenty years?" the Countess asked earnestly.

"No." Almes replied immediately.

The reason why Lord Hamilton was in bad luck this time was because Priest Schroeder regarded this place as a place to turn things around.

For some time to come, the place where real troubles will gather will definitely be the royal capital.

After Leon ascended the throne, there would be at least ten years of turmoil.

This is because he was placed on the throne by His Majesty Travis, and he had basically no dirty relationship with the previous ministers and officials.

Otherwise, it may take even twenty years to accomplish it.

In fact, the reason why Prince Leon suffered so much conspiracy and harm was because his grandfather was too powerful.
