Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 873 The Poor and Pathetic Kyle

Kyle's eyes were filled with gloom... Years ago, after Lowry discovered that he had mental problems, she secretly took him to see the lives of ordinary people at the bottom of society.

Those who are already struggling to survive simply don't have the space to consider whether or not they love.

As parents, it is our duty to provide our children with food and keep them alive.

It was only then that he realized how Uncle Lowry had comforted him.

Indeed, being born into that kind of family was his misfortune.

But it's not the worst situation yet... There are so many people in the world who are much worse off than him!
Uncle Lowry showed him the poor not to make him compare his misfortune to others, but to let him know how difficult it is to live.

He already has enough opportunities; there's no need for him to think about unimportant people.

At least I just ignored him.

But it also gave him the opportunity to be free.

If he so chooses to travel far and wide, even wandering the world like adventurers, no one can condemn his restlessness.

Kyle still remembers the moonlight that cascaded down like a waterfall that day, and his own soul that suddenly boiled over.

Uncle Lowry even took him to see some proper adventurers.

It wasn't one of those 'little people' he'd occasionally seen, the kind who groveled for money and treated even a sweeper at Montes Castle with utmost respect.

Instead, they danced wildly around the campfire, drank heartily, and sang folk songs from their hometowns—true adventurers brimming with unrestrained spirit.

Even though castle knights were patrolling just a few hundred meters away, they had no fear whatsoever.

On the contrary, the knights, who were high above the common people and remained serious in his presence, looked cautious and apprehensive.

They were clearly afraid that the kids would get drunk and cause trouble, but no one spoke up to stop them.

I'm just being careful and on guard.

At that moment, Kyle understood that strength was the guarantee of everything.

Therefore, he truly wanted to strive for excellence and use his real strength to walk on that bright path.

Until he clearly heard the couple discussing him: "Didn't they say that the child's talent would be so bad that he would barely be able to become a knight?"
How come he advanced even faster than Fabrice?

Is there some mistake here?

That medicine...could it be...?

“Impossible, we’ve interviewed him many times at home.” The woman’s voice sounded so cruel. “It’s probably because the drug can stimulate some of his potential, causing him to show some talent ahead of time.”

But that's all.

There will be no further progress.

"It doesn't matter, Fabrice just has his talent locked for some reason... It must be that old woman's doing!"

“It couldn’t be Mrs. Yages,” the man replied calmly. “My father wouldn’t be so careless as to not have this kind of precaution.”

Furthermore, didn't Fabrice's talent problem already exist before Lady Yages arrived?
Instead of suspecting her, perhaps we should consider whether Masoud did something...

If he really was behind it, then Kyle is fine this way.

"As long as we catch him in the act... Father will take care of everything for us."

"It's all because your maternal grandfather was too greedy... otherwise..."

Kyle could no longer listen to anything else.

Even though he already knew about his 'unpopular' birth and accepted that he was just a tool, he would still be heartbroken by such a conversation.

Not to mention, they also completely extinguished his newly ignited hope.

The splendid path that Uncle Lowry had paved for him, it seemed he would never have the chance to tread upon it.

If it were just a knight...

Kyle could only picture those groveling adventurers.

However, what followed was even more unacceptable to him.

The woman asked without a trace of emotion, "What should we do if Mrs. Yages doesn't seem to have any hostility towards Kyle at all?"
It would be very strange if Kyle hadn't suffered any injuries as a child, and he didn't even live to be 50 after becoming a Cavalier.

Really... Could it be that the woman never intended to take the title in the first place?

Otherwise, how could she not hate the child who led her to plan bankruptcy?

Kyle's existence itself isn't that valuable.

But the fact that the Alex couple could have a child whenever they wanted was the biggest threat to Agris.

In this situation, it would be completely pointless for her to kill the first few children.

Kyle was merely a tool for proof, not the one whose arrival saved his family.

If the couple hadn't used unorthodox methods to have a child, then Kyle's arrival amidst their anxiety and tension would certainly have been a pleasant surprise.

But that's a means, a tool.

The Alex couple, of course, didn't care that much.

Little Kyle could only crouch inside the large vase outside their window, covering his mouth, trying desperately to hold back his tears. Hope shattered, life too short… what hope did he have left?

At this moment, he was still able to hold back because he wanted to hear how his father, who occasionally showed concern for him, would answer the question.

However, he was still disappointed.

Alex replied in the calmest tone, "Didn't you already do it?"
Knowing full well that he wanted to train as hard as Lowry, they didn't give him the potion.

His health is bound to suffer if he relies solely on what his father provides.

While this is one way to do it, you shouldn't go too far or make it too obvious.

Otherwise, even if Lady Yages really has no bad intentions, after all the scheming we've done, she'll still try to make things difficult for us.

The best approach is to win over a child we don't care about at all.

Be mindful of your boundaries.

“Fabris is quite good to him,” the woman said after thinking for a moment. “I’ll put more resources in Fabrice’s room. He’s sure that if he has more, he’ll share it with his brother.”

“That won’t do,” Alex immediately objected. “Knicks is very unhappy about his brother’s existence.”

He would make a huge scene if he found out that Fabrice was nice to Kyle.

Fabrice is a rather stubborn person, and if the Knicks cause too much trouble, he will definitely hate the Knicks.

Masoud and I used to have a good relationship, but there were too many calculations that led to his... I was also at fault... I was too indulgent..."

"Are you trying to blame me?" the woman said with dissatisfaction. "But we work so hard to please Father and navigate the social circles of minor nobles, and we barely manage to keep the family's finances afloat."

He got so many good things from your maternal grandfather just by talking!

Most importantly, knowing how difficult things are for us here, they are simply unwilling to…

“You get upset as soon as I mention this,” Alex immediately began to coax her softly. “I’m not blaming you. There are some things that upset me too, and I know you did it for me… but…”

Darling, think of Seebris and Massoud…

Kyle didn't know how he managed to survive until the end in that big vase.

All he knew was that when the moonlight shone on his face through the high window in the corridor, he finally snapped out of his silent weeping.

He knew that even if Fabrice continued to take care of him, he would no longer have any feelings for his brother.

The fact that he can remain uninvolved with both shows that he still has a bottom line.

Uncle Lowry... no one loves him, but he can accept it with strength.

But what if you're about to lose your life?

So, after being approached by the Lord of the Tower... no, or rather, since the Lord of the Tower had always been attached to his soul, Kyle chose to abandon the righteous path.

Fortunately, although this path was not easy, at least he didn't have to worry about dying so young.

Kyle hadn't expected the Montes family to be nearly wiped out by the Tower Lord, but he understood the Tower Lord's reasoning... The reason the Tower Lord could unleash his full power against those people was because Kyle's resentment was deep enough.

Fabrice survived because his hatred wasn't as intense.

If Mrs. Yages and Uncle Lowry were there, there certainly wouldn't be any problems.

Especially Uncle Lowry.

When the Tower Lord faced him, his combat power was probably not even as good as that of a formal professional.

Kyle touched the small blue star flower on the collar of his shirt.

This is a wildflower that only blooms in the morning. Although it is shaped like a star, it chases the sunlight.

They'll all wither by the afternoon, not a single one left.

He didn't have much of an impression of this flower, but when Uncle Lowry took him to see the various aspects of life, Uncle Lowry pointed to the blue star flower slowly blooming in the morning sun and told him: "This flower is very ordinary, and its life is only one day, but it has a very good meaning, which is to seize the present."

At that time, Uncle Lowry probably only thought of the poor people who had short lives and used this flower to comfort him.

As a result, I didn’t expect…

However, when the Tower Lord used his body to cause trouble in Qingfeng Territory, Uncle Lori suddenly appeared in front of him, asking the Tower Lord to help deliver a gift to Pat in a very righteous and impolite manner... He believed that the Tower Lord owed him this.

After all, they went to his territory and caused trouble without warning.

The fact that he didn't overturn the table upon discovering the Tower Lord was a way of saving face for the Tower Lord.

So what's wrong with sending a letter?
Uncle Lowry's logic is still as touching as ever.

Kyle, hiding in the deepest part of his mental sea, felt that even the Tower Lord froze upon hearing this reason.

At that moment, it felt as if his soul was drifting away... If he didn't know that the Lord of the Tower could return at any time, Kyle felt he could have rushed out and taken over the body.

This shows how much the master of the tower was provoked.

But whether he thought Uncle Lowry was right or not, he actually accepted the job of delivering the message.

Of course, Uncle Lowry never hesitates to do his work for free.

As soon as the Tower Lord agreed, he presented the Tower Lord with a seven-colored gem flower... It looked just like a real flower, but it had been turned into a gem.
