Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 79 You bomb once, I bomb once

Of course, things were not as bad as Count Montes said.

His real military strength comes from the regular troops deployed on the borders.

It would be a joke for a border earl to fight a war relying only on the few knights around him!
Count Montes's meaning was very clear. He would no longer use anything belonging to the earldom for Massoud.

His own private armed forces had suffered heavy losses in this rebellion.

Therefore, no matter what Masood was thinking about in his heart, he had to give it up and reflect in his own territory... The Earl no longer planned to favor him.

Alex moved slightly and grabbed the sleeve of Natalie, who looked dissatisfied and wanted to say something.

Although their family did suffer a huge loss...the Earl's private army will definitely belong to Alex in the future...but killing them all is not something they are suitable for.

After all, they also have three children.

Moreover, there is Kyle, who is obviously smart and capable but is always given up by Natalie.

Alex usually doesn't pay much attention to his youngest son.

But today, he unexpectedly discovered that in addition to being clear-headed and clever, Kyle was also very strong.

It’s not that I can’t understand it.

Because Natalie didn't like the child, he always stayed in his room to eat... and expensive seasoning like rose salt could not be given to the chefs to use at will.

Plus, there's Masood who's allergic to rose salt.

Therefore, this thing is usually kept by Mrs. Nancy, who puts a small plate in front of each person's seat when setting the table every day... Of course, this small plate, which is divided into several compartments, also contains other spices.

Kyle's meals were brought to him by his servants who went to the kitchen themselves.

Although Nancy would add some spice to Kyle when she noticed it, she was busy and didn't notice it every time.

Alex has now figured out why his family has no problem with talent, but always falls short of reaching the next level.

Even when he finally became a knight, his promotion was incredibly slow.

Otherwise, the Earl wouldn't have been counting on his eldest son to quickly become a knight... The Knights Templar were not the problem; the border troops were the biggest trouble.

Alex has fully satisfied the inheritance rights of the nobility.

No matter what happens next, he will always be Count Montes.

However, if his strength is too weak, it is hard to say whether the border troops will listen to him.

No, a Military Leader will be below level 10!
Fortunately, they still have Kyle at home to use.

Alex knew that if he showed too much importance to Kyle, he might repeat the same mistake, but the most important thing now was his own inheritance!
Everyone knows that even though their family has been badly plotted against, there is still some future for them, and that is why Alex can sit firmly on the position of the first heir.

Kyle eats less rose salt, but it doesn't mean he doesn't eat it at all. That doesn't mean his strength won't be affected too much. So as long as they stop eating this spice, there will definitely be hope.

It just takes a little time.

The key point is that Alex can't make too big a fuss about the rose salt incident, and he even has to take the initiative to suppress it.

Although Natalie pushed some of the problems onto Nancy and Masood, even a fool could guess that the mastermind behind their family came from the Newman family.

Rose salt did not appear after the Earl married a new wife.

The inland nobles have always been calculating against the border nobles. Who made them really hold on to the huge profits and not share any of them with others?
But Alex really didn't expect that the biggest culprit actually came from his own grandfather.

No wonder it was so easy for him to betray them at that time. After all, they already knew that he was being plotted against.

Does this fool Masood really think that Earl Newman is doing this for his own good?
If it was really Masood who plotted against his brother and came to power, how could the border troops obey the orders of such a despicable person?

Those are high-ranking officers of Grand Knights above level 10, but they are very arrogant!
If Count Montes was not a follower of His Majesty the King and was deeply trusted by His Majesty the King, and if they had not always believed in the strong, they might have already become part of the King's army!

Count Montes had managed to pacify the border territory with his own planning... If it were to lose control due to Count Newman's conspiracy, would Count Montes completely abandon his two sons?

No, at least it was Masood.

But in that case, Kyle...

Alex held Natalie's hand tightly, his mind racing with thoughts as he picked up and knocked over things one by one.

Even though he was always confident in his own methods, he didn't know what to do at this moment.

Alex suddenly felt a little regretful about the past.

The Count also mentioned to them Madame Yaglise's dissatisfaction with Nancy.

It’s just that...Masood...his good brother, at that time, showed absolute trust and dependence on Nancy.

Otherwise, my father would not have directly rejected Mrs. Yagris's decision to transfer Nancy without any investigation. However, logically speaking, even if Mrs. Yagris didn't say anything, Nancy should have left the position of housekeeper.

Back then, when his mother married into Montes Castle, the original head maid was not too old, but she retired readily.

Not to mention, Nancy is already the third housekeeper, and she has only taken over a few years.

Of course, Alex knew that this was wrong, but since it was in his interest, he would just keep silent.

Who knew that he would end up hurting himself.

If Fabrice had not been unable to advance to the knighthood due to the influence of rose salt, how could he have given in so much to Masoud!

However, no if.

The son of a separated family has less inheritance rights than the son who remains in the castle, and this is something that cannot be changed.

Lowry is still so strong.

Although Madam Yagris has always been upright, but... Alex feels that the only way for everyone to live in peace is to not give her any room at all.

So, even though he was heartbroken about the lost benefits, Alex chose to be more tolerant towards Masood.

Even Alex, who was usually very calm, couldn't help but feel veins popping out on his forehead when he thought that all this was his own fault.

But the last bit of reason kept warning him that Count Montes still had room for Masoud.

The reason why the usually cold-blooded Earl could be so tolerant must be that he was still reluctant to let go of the father-son relationship they had held for so many years.

Alex knew very well that if it was Lowry who did such a thing, Count Montes would never let him go so easily, or even let him leave so calmly!

Alex's mind was in a state of confusion. If he had known that his father would always stick to his promise to their mother and never fall in love with the charming Knight Yagris, why would he have done so much?
If they let nature take its course, maybe they will live a better life.

Anyway, Lowry, it was never that question.

So, Alex would never let Natalie continue to be so aggressive...even though everyone knew that she was telling the truth, but sometimes, the truth is useless.

Otherwise, the Count should not have said a word about Masood's wife.

That's what caused this huge loss, isn't it?
They all saw the final image of the castle's monitoring magic circle... Before the magic circle collapses, it will send the image of the culprit that caused its own damage to the core of the magic circle.

That is the crystal ball inlaid on the small round gem table in the middle of this round house.

Although the dog-like woman was unrecognizable and only half of the bard opposite was left, they could still recognize who they belonged to.

Of course, it is even more obvious that it is the confrontation between the Storm Archbishop and the Ice Cultist.

The reason why others kept silent was that this was no longer an area that ordinary people could touch.

It was normal for a legitimate Storm Bishop to infiltrate the Montes family, but a cultist?

Or is he a cultist who is a direct descendant of the family?

The Montes family is about to lose all face.

The reason why their father was so angry was not because of Masood's calculation of the title, a "small matter".

Natalie's hands were bulging with veins as she held the fan... She didn't want to let Masood, who had betrayed her two sons, go!

Even if Alex comforted her and Kyle, what was the use?

Since that brat is so smart, there is no way he wouldn't hold a grudge against her for all the disregard and contempt she showed in the past!
How could Natalie, who is such a proud person, suddenly turn around and fawn over a child she despises?
Unlike Alex, who could still calmly think about the future, Natalie could not control her resentment at all.

A voice kept ringing in her mind: Instead of letting the enemy leave, it is better to take this opportunity to catch him in one fell swoop!
Natalie couldn't figure out who could help her get rid of Masood completely, but she was inexplicably certain that as long as she followed the voice in her head, she could get revenge.

"Natalie? Natalie? What are you doing?"

Natalie could feel her hands being pulled by the anxious Alex, but she still couldn't stop chanting the spell.

"Alex! What are you hesitating about! Knock her out!"

Count Montes shouted loudly when he found something wrong.

However, it was too late.

"Alex! Get out of the way!" Count Montes suddenly drew out his sword and cut off Natalie's arm, which was tightly held by Alex. He dragged him and kicked his three grandsons to an empty corner, and used his broad back to block his eldest son.

"Father..." Alex shouted dully, and the place where Natalie was completely exploded.

Although the circular hut's defenses were very strong, this was a violent explosion that occurred near the magic core.

The crystal ball still couldn't hold up.
-
"Oh my god! Mom!" Lori in the cloud suddenly shouted.
