Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 606 Celestia's Sorrow
"What else is there to say?" Hearing the answer from the unfilial son, Countess Hamilton sneered, "I might as well take Pearl with me, at least it will save me some trouble later.

You should treat your...friends well?"

Almes laughed and held onto his mother's arm. "From yesterday till now, I have been facing this together with them. It has been very hard for everyone."

The Countess nodded slightly…So, even though we’ve been through thick and thin together for so long, we’re still not friends?

After chatting with Almes for a few minutes, Countess Hamilton quickly turned on the hostess mode and invited several people who participated in the battle in the church to visit the castle.

Bishop Blair hesitated for a moment.

Almes immediately smiled and suggested, "Bishop Blair, we can bring the priests and believers in the church to the castle together.

There is an annex in the castle that can accommodate dozens of guests, so there is no need to worry about affecting our family."

Bishop Blair sighed, and finally nodded in agreement.

He knew very well that whether the death of High Priest Schroeder was due to his own calculations or not, it would cause a stir in the Storm Temple.

In addition, the only person qualified to review the process, Deputy High Priest McMillan, is gone, so the Northern Storm Church must wait for the decision of the Main Temple.

Therefore, they must not live in the church, lest they be dragged into the dark water by some blind guy.

Even though the Main Temple can't do anything to His Majesty Travis, even if they really send someone to replace the position of high priest, he won't be able to leave the capital easily, but it is easy to deal with these minions.

Blair wasn't too worried about himself, after all, he had a Storm Knight by his side... No matter how scheming Celestia was, she would not talk nonsense about matters related to the Storm Lord, nor would she use the Storm Lord's majesty to harm her colleagues.

But the little guys inside can't do that.

Even if he was locked up in the statue hall when the incident happened, it can be said that someone tried to take advantage of the situation and erase some clues.

Although this kind of thing is so shameless that it is hard to believe, Blair, who is unwilling to do anything that goes against his bottom line, cannot deny that the priest Schroeder he follows is such a person, even if he speaks with his eyes closed.

And such a high priest often encounters setbacks in the Storm Temple!

There is never any white in the power struggle.

Even if the purpose is noble, the means will definitely be tainted.

Otherwise, how could he possibly defeat those pure black guys?

However, the struggles in the temple would automatically bypass those devout believers who did not care about power at all and only worshipped the gods wholeheartedly... After all, if they had resentment in their hearts due to something, it would be easy for them to pass these emotions to the Lord of Storms.

Although it is not that pure, the faith and worship of the Lord of Storms by those old guys who like to play with power are still real and strong, and they do not want to be hated by the gods because of it.

Just like His Excellency Schroeder.

With his character and skills, he would never reach the end of his rope.

But when he confirmed that the Lord God was really dissatisfied with him and might even hate him, the High Priest completely lost the desire to struggle.

Blair could actually understand this... Is there any need for a priest who is hated by his own god to exist?

Therefore, Priest Schroeder, who had awakened from his past arrogance, used his own life and soul as bait to ignite this grand fireworks show.

Blair actually didn't like those little guys in the church who came to take credit, and then secretly complained to Schroeder, the officiating priest, after they found out that it wasn't what they thought... The smarter ones would not have come in the first place after they found out that the officiating priest only brought pure believers like them.

The only people he really cared about were his apprentices.

But at the same time, Blair knew very well that the reason why Officiant Schroeder entrusted everything to him was because he would not vent his anger on or abandon anyone because of personal thoughts.

At this point, the only thing he can do is to complete the task assigned by the High Priest.

After thinking for a few seconds, Blair still carefully instructed Almes: "You, just seal off the church.

Don't go in there. After my Lord's sweep, there won't be any hidden shadows.

But... in the future... think about our High Priest..."

Blair didn't say anything else. This was the limit of what he could say as the Bishop of the Storm.

However, he felt that with Almes's intelligence, he would definitely understand what he meant... Although the main temple would not push the responsibility onto the members of the Northern Royal Family for things that did not have a big impact, it did not mean that they would be honest after causing trouble.

As a member of the royal family, Almes knew a lot about the secret struggles between the church and the royal family. He should understand how Priest Schroeder would pass the buck when encountering similar incidents.

No matter how strict the defense is, as long as you touch it or pass by it, there will definitely be a unique angle waiting for you.

Although Bishop Blair usually didn't know those stories that were even more ridiculous than the accidents until everything was over, he was always so absurd that he knelt before the statue of the Lord of Storms and prayed desperately... communicating with the Lord of Storms' boundless divine power to ensure that he was living in reality, not a dream.

This is just the high priest Schroeder, with the assistance of Duke Schroeder.

In the Storm Temple, there are a group of old guys who are even more coquettish and despicable than the chief priest. Bishop Blair admires those who go to the tiger mountain even though they know there is a tiger there.

He would never go there in his life.

I just hope to find eternal peace in the eye of the storm.

He whispered a few words to Almes, then quickly turned around and went back to gather the group of little priests who were trembling beside the statue.

Only Celestia was left with an embarrassed look on her face.

Storm Rider turned her head inadvertently, and then found Evelyn Costa and Toronto standing by the door whispering something... She could only face the sharp eyes of Countess Hamilton alone.

She pondered for a few seconds, and just as she was about to speak, she was cut off by the decisive Countess: “Ms. McMillan, long time no see.

I really want to thank you for your help in getting Almes back home at such a critical moment.

So please come to the castle.

I will definitely treat you well.”

Celestia smiled awkwardly, but immediately straightened her chest… No matter what her original intention was, it was not detrimental to the Hamilton family.

It can even be said that her approach is the most beneficial to this family and even Almes.

The most the Countess could say to her was some sarcastic remarks.

What did this matter after she had completely given up on Almes?

She was a Storm Noble! No matter how you looked at it, it was not the Countess's turn to put pressure on her.

But... Celestia glanced at Almes, who was holding his mother's hand and smiling gently, trying to comfort her... Not being afraid doesn't mean turning the disagreement into hatred.

Anyway, under the current circumstances, the other party must understand and must know the limits, so what is she afraid of?

Therefore, Celestia just smiled reservedly: "Thank you for the invitation, Madam. Please arrange for me to live with the Storm Believers.

After all, we pray for long hours every day.”

Almes squeezed the Countess's wrist with a little force, turned around and said with a smile, "Of course, no problem.

Pearl will arrange it.”

Celestia’s eyes jumped…Miss Hamilton’s spoiled and willful temper was very obvious when she was in the capital.

Because she showed interest in Almes, Pearl even gathered several young ladies from royal noble families to ridicule her.

It was not until later, when Graham Ellis of the Earl of West Riding began to pursue her openly, that these girls disappeared... They would never allow themselves to have any scandals with men who were not within their range of choice.

No matter how handsome the young master from the West is or how sweet his words are.

Celestia sighed slightly.

For the current McMillan family, they must avoid the great nobles in the North, East and the capital, so her range of choices is really running out... Celestia doesn't have to find a man.

But she knew from a young age that the family was her responsibility...so, the most basic responsibility was the continuation of the family.

She has a higher talent and is naturally more receptive to the baptism of storms...until the end, she walks with the wind.

It is of course good to be able to reach this point, but it also causes the activity of the flesh and blood to gradually decline.

Her mother was luckier. Even though she didn't find a suitable candidate when she was young and energetic, she waited for her father by delaying and suppressing the opportunity for promotion.

But she can't!
Judging from the situation in the past two days, if she dares to delay, she might be the next McMillan officiant!
Therefore, if Celestia wants to give birth to her own heir, she can only do so within the next ten years.

And what she least wanted was the father of her child... It wasn't that she was cold-hearted or had any bad intentions, but there were almost no male Storm Knights of her age and strength.

Unless you go to the main temple.

Even a guy as simple and honest as Blair knows that the people over there cannot be trusted!
She herself was a Storm Rider, so how could she not understand that a good character did not mean he was a good man, nor did it mean he had no ambitions.

If she really wanted to let a wolf into the house, she might as well let the McMillan family be transferred to the hands of a side branch!

The young master of Xijing family was not so sincere in pursuing her.

The reason why Celestia had never taken a liking to him was because that guy's thoughts were so obvious that they made people uncomfortable.

After all, she was attracted to Almes only because of him, and it had nothing to do with the Hamilton family.
