Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 869 Yagris's Worries

Mrs. Yages stayed downstairs in Lowry's building, personally guarding the stairwell.

Even her swift wolf, which liked to hide on her body, showed itself.

Lily cautiously peeked out.

The entrance to the stairs was completely blocked by a huge blue wolf, whose long tail even filled half of the stairs, and a necklace carved in the shape of a swift wolf was coiled in its thick paws.

That was a gift from Lori, something Lily had always envied.

Of course, she must have similar gifts as well. Lowry likes to express her feelings for her family and friends through painting and crafts, keeping some for herself and giving some to them.

Lily's favorite thing was a crystal music box carved with her little head peeking out of the dragon egg.

As that tiny little girl slowly cracked open the dragon egg, cautiously peeking out, and then, surrounded by her parents and uncles, peacefully began to nibble on the eggshell... accompanied by joyful and welcoming music, she was absolutely adorable!
But she admired the style of the Gale Wolf.

In Lowry's eyes, Gale Wolf was gentle, considerate, and... reliable.

But Lily always looked up to him.

She didn't want to always be seen as a weakling in Uncle Lowry's eyes.

Lily loves her Uncle Lori very much, but sometimes she also hopes that one day, her uncle can look at her with the same eyes he looks at Gale Wolf!
She will definitely become stronger and stronger.

One day she... well... she can't stay here any longer. If she doesn't leave soon, Grandma Yagelis will call her in.

Once it was confirmed that Lowry was still safe, the little dragon quickly turned around, used its belly as a skateboard, and slid down the stairs. Then it tiptoed to the terrace, spread its wings, and flew away.

It wasn't that she didn't want to stay with Grandma Yages.

But she had just woken up and didn't want to go back to sleep.

Lily, who doesn't sleep, doesn't even believe she can stay quiet.

The best little dragon is one that doesn't cause trouble for adults.

Lily thinks she's awesome!
The Swift Wolf glanced at the little dragon flying away with its tail held high outside the window, its gaze freezing for a second.

Although she was already used to the whimsical and bizarre ideas of these dragon cubs, she still couldn't help but be startled.

No wonder Lori always said that Little Dragon was like those silly cats... Thinking of those cats that fought with his tail, Gale Wolf immediately calmed his doubts and lowered his head to play with the necklace again.

What made her so enamored with it wasn't its luxurious appearance, the dozens of purest Gale Stones, or its ability to shift between reality and illusion with her.

These are all good, of course, but the best one is the one on the necklace, the one from Lori's memory.

She is completely different from when she is fighting.

With a strangely gentle expression... When Lori was a child, he would occasionally be left in the care of Gale Wolf by Agris. When Agris didn't know how to make the child happy and was afraid that he would cry and look for his mother, Gale Wolf would show this kind of expression.

No one expected that Lowry would remember these things to this day.

The Swift Wolf took out the necklace she had worn for a long time and fiddled with it because she was reminded of the past... She never expected that, even now, she could still guard the door for Little Lori.

Sitting on the other side, Yagelis hadn't turned a page of the chivalric novel in her hand for quite some time.

"What are you thinking about now?" Gale Wolf asked softly.

She knew very well that Lori's room was surrounded by layers of magic arrays, and no sound from the outside could get in.

But even the most carefree White Dragon Girl knows to be mindful of her movements, so how could she possibly speak loudly?
She knew it, but how to do it was up to her.

“Lorry told me before he went to sleep that he would probably be quite different when he woke up this time,” Yagris said, a little confused. “But he didn’t know how it would manifest.”

If it's just a matter of height and hair color, that's fine, but what if their face changes too?
Those were ancestors with immense divine power; their descendants, with their mixed bloodlines… probably wouldn't even look down on them, right?

But their human appearance is precisely because of the interaction of these bloodlines that makes people so different.

Even siblings won't look exactly alike.

Although some twins are almost indistinguishable, the differences are still quite obvious in the eyes of a great knight like Agris.

It's small, but it's not nonexistent.

Agris never envied those knights who had reverted to their ancestral ways, because she felt that only the person she was now truly belonged to her.

At first, when Lori awakened her dragon bloodline, she accepted it easily because there were no changes in her appearance.

But now... Lori has always understood her well. The fact that she specifically reminded her before falling asleep must mean she was worried about scaring her.

However, she couldn't tell anyone this.

It will only make people think she's pretentious.

The soul is still the same soul, only with some inherited memories, but it possesses unparalleled power... So what if it has changed its appearance?

Who wouldn't want that?
If it were her, Yagelis, would she have refused?

Agris had been carefully considering this matter for some time. If she had awakened some kind of bloodline, and her appearance was only showing signs of atavism... then it really was just 'that's all.' She would immediately abandon those pointless thoughts.

Of course, she didn't think that her thoughts were just the 'sour' feeling of not being able to have what she wanted.

After all, she did receive some potions to help awaken her bloodline after becoming a Grand Knight, but she never took them.

This is her heartfelt thought.

But if fate had truly granted her this opportunity, Agris wouldn't have turned around and cried out for it.

That's truly getting a good deal and then acting innocent.

However, this strange emotion, which she herself could not understand or explain, continued to linger over her.

Yagris could only talk about it with her companions.

The Swift Wolf was well aware of her friend's little schemes, so she didn't bother to say anything useless like, "It's only because the times are good that you can think about these trivial things," or "If it were wartime, you would be ecstatic right now."

Yagris understood these things better than anyone else.

Her anxiety and insecurity actually stemmed from some of her mother's hidden thoughts... Had her son really only changed in appearance?
Also, if the changes are too drastic, will she even recognize her own son?

What Yages fears most is that one day, when she sees Lori, she will feel a sense of unfamiliarity.

Just thinking about this possibility makes her, who is usually cheerful and decisive, feel breathless.

So even though she knew she was being foolish by indulging in wild fantasies about things that couldn't possibly exist, she still couldn't control her wild thoughts.

“Logically, I should be comforting you, as long as Lori comes out of the room.” The Gale Wolf said slowly, “After all, as a magical creature, I know a lot about inheritance.”

At best, Lowry's ears will be a little smaller and rounder, and his hair might become a completely lighter color... I just don't know if it will be pure white or light gold, and he'll be a few dozen centimeters taller.

But I know that no matter what I say, it's useless; you actually want these things yourself.

So, all I can do is sigh along with you.

Because you understand everything, you're just making yourself uncomfortable.

Aggris's lips curled down slightly: "Can't you even offer me a few words of comfort?"

"That's definitely not going to work. I can't say things that deceive myself," Gale Wolf replied calmly. "You're just making trouble for yourself. Why should I make myself suffer like that?"

“But you can’t deny that my worries are completely unfounded, right?” Yagris threw the novel aside and said with a serious expression.

"Heh~" Gale Wolf sneered, "Why don't you dare to tell the truth?"
What you're really worried about is Lowry's insatiable curiosity and her relentlessly reckless attitude towards life.

“Well… it’s not that serious…” Yagris, who had just been very serious, suddenly backed down.

“When it comes to serious matters, Lowry is indeed unlikely to go astray. After all, he has a fairly accurate understanding of himself and knows that he is not cut out for manipulating people’s hearts and power.”

Therefore, I never try to graze in that direction.

His determination was evident even to outsiders.

Tsk~"

The Swift Wolf's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as he glanced downstairs.

The Swift Wolf doesn't actually like the Northern Royal Family very much.

Putting aside the well-known fact that the white dragon that ravaged the crater back then somehow made its way in from the southern border... Although the Northern Royal Family was a bit unethical, Gale Wolf understood this point and knew that no one would risk their life for someone else.

Moreover, no one expected that the white dragon's target would be the Wolf Mountain region, the most barren part of the crater.

However, the fact that their former allies, the Ghezal family, ultimately chose to leave the royal camp can be attributed to deep-seated resentment.

After all, it's normal for the Storm Nobles not to help them, but for the royal nobles to do the same is a bit... Even if the territorial nobles have an obligation to protect their own territories, the royal family might at most provide some financial support, but those who have suffered annihilation will not think that way.

After all, it's not that the royal family can't do it, and Gezar was truly loyal before.

If loyalty cannot earn protection, and only strength can gain praise, then it is normal for subordinates to have wavering thoughts when they have strength.

When faced with further pressure, turning around and going to the other side is not necessarily a big mistake.

But those steps back then have turned into... this karmic entanglement.

The Gale Wolves truly loathed Count Gezar, who died without a proper burial, but they also missed those Gezar who had fought alongside them and happily rebuilt their homeland.

After the culprit is gone, there is nowhere to place the resentment, so people will naturally think about those helpless situations.

Wolves are inherently petty and vengeful.

They were perfectly justified in their annoyance with the Northern Kingdom.
