Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 728 Pearl's Wheat Ears
Ezra couldn't help but turn around and exchange a glance with Katarina.

The Countess sneered, "If this lady weren't so indifferent to you, Ezra, I would have thought you came back today to confront me!"

She was already seething with anger, and even the slightest spark could ignite a raging inferno. Ezra's nonsensical little action naturally enraged her.

Sometimes, it is the people closest to you who can ignite the most vicious attacks.

The Countess was clearly unable to accept that while she was racking her brains over the children's affairs, her husband not only failed to help but also made things worse!
Although the words sounded like a joke, the murderous intent was already boiling.

Ezra, who knew his wife well, felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly moved closer to her and carefully embraced her: "Nana, I'm doing this for...our future."

The Countess suddenly let out a gasp, her voice trembling with tears: "Why did it take you so long to come back?"

His Majesty Travis suddenly crossed his arms... For a moment, he wondered if he was still in the dimensional space of the Lord of Ice.

How can it be so cold?
Valera glanced at it silently, then glanced at it again… If this is what the perfect couple she once longed to see looks like, then it's better if she never meets a true love in her life.

She couldn't believe she was so calm, even though she was caught up in such a terrible conversation.

As for the others in the room, they were already used to the couple's behavior, and even the baby spider strutting around Armies didn't react at all.

Of course, there was also a wolf who was completely oblivious to the danger.

Katarina abruptly interrupted their conversation: "Ezra~ I made such a big mistake because of you!"

The Countess hesitated for a moment, then peeked out from her husband's arms: "This, Lady Katarina... my sarcastic tone just now wasn't because I suspected Ezra of betraying me..."

"Why are you talking to me about human matters?" Katarina asked, puzzled. "I'm only interested in the benefit Ezra mentioned!"

Ezra said cautiously, "You've been in Maplelands for so long, you must have heard of Lori's teacher, Al-Saran's dream, right?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be a trap?" Katarina perked up. "No, you're not planning on doing something stupid like trying to get the biggest profit from the most dangerous place, are you?"
I wanted to become stronger and make a fortune along the way, but I never expected to face such a life-or-death situation!

Taking a small risk is no problem.

“No…” Ezra immediately shook his head… his dear wife’s two fingers were already digging into the inside of his arm. “How could I possibly do something so crazy!”

However, I obtained some information at Watson Castle… that pieced together fragmented pieces of information from the past.

His small hand left his armpit, and Ezra let out a long breath before continuing, "As the commander of the legion in the capital, I once led a team to help Archmage Alsara clear many ancient ruins."

Although I don't know much about those books, I have seen all the murals.

Arslan has never hidden what he's looking for, so as a father of a mage son, I'll certainly try my best to gather relevant information.

Even just a little bit! Wouldn't that give my son some more resources?
Do you think I don't know there are scoundrels in the palace bullying my son?

Armies raised his head slightly, but was clearly not moved; instead, he stepped back.

His dear sister Pearl couldn't help but say, "Dad... you can totally say you're just doing this to make some money."

We all know you're poor anyway, and you're desperate to escape the situation where you have to ask your wife for money to buy you nice things. There's really no need to make it sound like this...

The baby spiders were so disgusted by you that they ran back home!

Indeed, the fluttering threads on Armies' head were no longer there.

Ezra dismissed it, saying, "How can you be so honest, child?"

What nobleman would clearly explain his main purpose?

They're just putting their more appealing reasons out in the open!
"At least there's His Majesty the King here!"

"I thought you hadn't seen me," Travis couldn't help but say.

“You’re not here in the king’s name!” Ezra puffed out his chest. “I’m your uncle!”

Travis hesitated for a moment: "Are you trying to drag me into this?"

"Hehe~ Let me finish speaking, and then we'll see if you're interested!"

Ezra spoke with great confidence.

Travis, indeed, became interested, so he sat back down.

Ezra glanced at his son and daughter, took his wife's hand in his arm, and led her to sit down on the sofa.

The countess, who always stood or sat in a luxurious floral-backed chair with her back straight, this time nestled comfortably into the soft sofa.

Her stiff back was gently lifted, and the Countess couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

Ezra's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but tighten his grip on his wife's hand.

The countess shook her head slightly at him.

Ezra immediately realized that there might be something that the servant who had informed him of what was happening here could not know, and that his wife's wariness had another reason.

It's good that the child wasn't raised in vain.

He could accept the frustrating reality, after all, he didn't have any particular hopes for his children, nor did he intend to continue his family line.

If Hamilton could be taken from Leon and become his, he could also become someone else's.

Ezra didn't believe his descendants were any closer by blood than other members of the royal family.

Everyone here is a sensible person. Without the absolute protection of the royal array, the collateral branches will only see their bloodline become increasingly fragmented.

Needless to say, those who live far from the palace are even further away.

Therefore, Ezra truly didn't care whether Armedus married or had children.

He didn't have these two children just to continue his bloodline!
So Ezra was content as long as his two children were alright, wouldn't be bullied, and lived according to their own wishes.

Even if his son and daughter suddenly became the reincarnation of gods, Ezra didn't feel much... As long as they weren't switched halfway, what did it matter whether they were reincarnated or not?
If they still acknowledge them as their biological parents, that's fine.

Even if Ezra had no demands on his children, he could not accept that they would immediately stop taking their parents seriously after they regained their memories!

in case……

He glanced at his wife.

If his Nana is too upset because of the two children, Ezra will immediately withdraw his feelings.

What good things can the royal family of the North produce?

His seemingly abundant emotions are entirely due to his wife, who is exceptionally sensitive and deeply yearns for family.

Even though Ezra had many ulterior motives when he first proposed to Serena, their years of knowing and accompanying each other, and Serena's selfless devotion to him, had long since made them completely one.

Anyway, the children are all high-interest loans. Once they're paid off, that's enough. Don't expect any returns.

Those who treat their children as investments are truly foolish.

Losing money is good; losing everything is the most common outcome.

The Countess looked up at him: "What are you staring at? Can't you see everyone's waiting for you to speak?"

Ezra smiled slightly: "Are you feeling better?"

"What's wrong with Mom?" Pearl sat up straight as soon as she sat down on the small sofa.

"I'm fine!" The Countess rolled her eyes helplessly. "With so much going on these past few days, how could I not be tired?"
"Once your dad comes back, he can take all of those things back. I'll get a good night's sleep when I have some free time."

Pearl looked at her carefully, then suddenly extended her right hand.

A stalk of wheat slowly materialized above her palm, then swayed slightly twice, and two grains of wheat fell into her hand.

“Mother.” Pearl stood up and carefully presented the grain seeds to the Count and Countess, her eyes fixed on her mother. “I should have done this a long time ago.”

This is my divine power.

The aspect that represents life.

Although it's not as powerful as the Fruit of Life, it's still... passable.

With my current abilities, I can only condense these two.

Please, for my sake, eat it with Dad, okay?

Ezra glanced at Pearl, then carefully observed the Countess's expression.

The Countess pondered for a moment before asking, "Pearl, will feeding us this cause problems with Persephone's treatment of you?"

“No.” Pearl smiled. “Although I can use a portion of her life force, it is her most cherished divine power, and she is unwilling to share more with me.”

Then, the power of death is her power as the Queen of the Underworld, and even if she were willing to give it to me, I wouldn't want it.

If I were in that situation, I couldn't possibly accept suddenly having a husband.

Although she didn't quite understand this... the relationships between men and women in the Greek pantheon were too complicated. She clearly cared so much about her husband, yet she didn't seem to have much jealousy.

But even though I didn't want to, she understood.

It's really...strange.

As she spoke, Pearl couldn't help but glance at Armies.

Armies gave a wry smile: "What you see is not the truth."

Greek goddesses, especially those like Persephone, have many incarnations.

After all, many of the male gods on Mount Olympus are not exactly handsome.

To protect herself, and knowing she would never dare to appear before Zeus, she could only rely on her other powerful brothers.

Apollo and I are good friends, so I helped out a little.

The Greek pantheon does not recognize pure friendship.

Even if Hermes and Demeter were on good terms, they were not entitled to protect Persephone.

Zeus and Hera's two bastard sons had long since set their sights on Persephone.

He could only drag Apollo into creating a false impression.

Otherwise, that bastard Ares wouldn't have given up so easily.
