Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 94 The End of Count Montes
Lowry, who knew his booklet by heart, concentrated on trying to figure out Yagris's expression, and soon discovered that although his mother was a resolute, decisive and realistic person, she preferred a fresh style.

Although she usually dresses herself in bright colors and neat styles, there is actually a little princess in Mrs. Yagris' heart who likes pink, tender yellow, mint, light blue and light purple.

Even though she took the same amount of time to turn each page in order not to embarrass Lori, she couldn't control the gleam that occasionally appeared in her eyes.

As a freelance artist who takes on his own work and negotiates the final draft with the commissioners through difficult and arduous processes, Lowry has learned how to observe those clients who say one thing and mean another through years of torture.

Although some people really just ask for work without thinking, and order work based on other people's popular manuscripts, they just don't really like it, so they end up with a mess... If you don't really like someone, naturally you won't like anything about them, especially after calculating how much money you have to spend.

But there are also some people who, probably, have been trained since childhood to behave in a way that satisfies their parents, so they really don’t know what they like.

'I always feel like something is wrong', 'This is different from what I thought' are what they always say.

But in fact, Lowry did draw it according to the keywords they used when they placed the order, and it also fits the style they set at the beginning.

At the beginning, Lowry really suffered a lot... Some requirements that were not much different from "Colorful Black" really made him furious and he even wanted to reject the manuscript directly.

I would rather waste my time.

But, after all, he was a man with no way out. Three meals a day and rent were enough to make him give up the dignity of those painters and try to find a way out.

Then, he slowly realized that some people are not really bad, but they really have no self. However, when they spend their own money to buy fun, there are waves in their hearts that they are not even aware of.

Lowry was able to earn enough money to settle down in a big city later on thanks to this honed ability of observation...When these board drawings were first emerging, their prices were not as low as they were later when they were overwhelmed by the large number of AI drawings and no one cared about them.

Especially since Lowry was an orthodox art student, when orthodox painters looked down on things like board painting, the price of his drawings was really not low, so naturally, those who commissioned drawings would not just place an order online and be done with it.

We have to get together and have a good chat anyway.

It is precisely because of those past experiences that Lowry is actually quite good at observing the changes in people's minds.

But for him, in this world, apart from Madam Yagris, no one else is worth his effort...Observing the changes in a person's eyes all the time is a really strenuous job.

Lori was concentrating on paying full attention to his dear mother, and naturally ignored his nephew Fabrice who walked out of the magic hut with a sad face.

When he was called by the White Dragon King, his reaction speed was not as fast as Lady Yagris, and he even looked dissatisfied.

Fortunately, Mrs. Yagris, who noticed that her son was so distracted that he even forgot that his father was dying, spoke up in time to stop him: "Fabris... How is Nascimento? Do you need my and Lori's help?"

Only then did Lowry realize that the person who was chatting privately over there had come out.

Fabrice was probably the only person in the room who had no time to care about anything else. He sobbed twice before answering, "Grandfather has gone to the Kingdom of Storms."

Lori blinked, and the first thing that came to his mind was: The Lord of Storms might not accept this loyal believer whose two sons ran away with the evil god.

Then, belatedly, a trace of sadness appeared.

No matter what Count Montes did, he was his biological father.

The other party just doesn't love him.

It wasn't Lowry's fault, but he didn't hate his father for it.

But there is definitely not much emotion.

So, there was only a trace of silent sadness that came from nowhere and soon surrounded Lowry.

He lowered his eyes and stared blankly at the tip of his shoes, not knowing what to say or do for a moment.

Logically speaking, as the only remaining son of Count Montes, he should have started preparing for his funeral.

However, the heir of the Montes family is Fabrice.

These things must be done by him alone.

However, the unique rules of the funerals between father and son, grandfather and grandson... all put Lowry in an awkward position.

He couldn't just be a stupid son who stood in front of the coffin and did nothing, right?
"Grandmother." Fabrice said in a daze, "Grandfather said that although the butler is dead, his successor is still alive. He has also learned from the butler for more than ten years. He should be able to help me complete the funeral ceremony and the preliminary reconstruction of the castle."

He hesitated for a few seconds and asked, “But, grandma, how did the housekeeper disappear? Grandfather didn’t say a word. Can I still use that person?

I, myself, do these things, really…”

Mrs. Yagris was stunned for a moment and then interrupted Fabrice: "That's no problem, the butler of the Montes family is also hereditary and can be trusted.

Your grandfather didn't say it because there was no need to. How could the butler betray him? He must have died fighting for him.

Don't worry about these useless things, just take the token Nascimento gave you and go find the man your grandfather told you about.

Only in this way can he come forward to take over the management of the castle."

Mrs. Yagris glanced at the worried Fabrice and said gently, "Your grandfather must have told you a lot of things. Especially those about the ancient heritage of the Montes family. He must have reminded you to avoid me to deal with it, right?
Therefore, in order to avoid causing some misunderstandings, Lori and I must stay at my Knights' Station.

Did Nascimento say when the funeral would be held?"

Lowry gently retreated behind his biological mother and hid his face tightly to avoid a sudden smile that he couldn't help but burst into at such a serious moment.

There was no way. No matter how confident Count Montes was, he couldn't let the White Dragon King stay in a Montes Castle like this, waiting for a funeral that would take an unknown amount of time to prepare.

Don't think that Fabris's question made him seem particularly stupid, but it clearly declared that he was the only owner of the land under his feet.

Especially those words about the butler.

Naturally, Lori's protective mother still responded with some sarcastic remarks in a roundabout way.

Who cares about your little stuff?
If you have the guts, you don’t even want the Knights Templar!

Lori thought that it was probably because Count Montes had instilled in Fabrice too many intrigues, too many "ifs", and too detailed future arrangements that made him suddenly say such stupid things.

But this kid has always had a simple and straightforward mind, otherwise he wouldn't have been the only one in Montes Castle who always caused trouble for Lori.

Fabrice, awakened by Mrs. Yagris's sarcastic words, finally realized what he had done.

His face quickly turned red.

Madame Yagris turned sideways gracefully: "Fabris, go see His Majesty the King."

Fabrice's eyes also turned red... He actually ignored His Majesty the King who was sitting on the back of the white dragon in silence!
He should have gone to see His Majesty the King first and then go to Lady Yagris to say those words... His grandfather had clearly told him the process, but he still only did the most useless part.

Lowry tilted his head and nudged Mrs. Yagris's back with the tip of his head: My biological father is dead, but you are still not honest?

Mrs. Yagris patted her back helplessly: Actually, there was nothing wrong with Count Montes's approach.

Let Fabrice first ask His Majesty's permission to fix the time for the funeral.

Then talk to Madam Yagris about the housekeeper to make it clear that the funeral does not require her intervention... However, it must not be said like Fabrice, it would be more tactful.

Then he would take the token to find the future butler who must be waiting outside and start his official career as an earl.

Who would have thought that Fabrice, who was too nervous, would start directly from the second step?

In an instant, a serious ceremony turned into an embarrassing joke.

Fabrice could only take stiff steps and go find the king who looked very interested to resume the conversation.

Leon also watched the show over there with great interest.

He has switched his identity very clearly, and he knows very well that his two most important neighbors in the North in the future are Fabrice and Lori.

The border troops are his own people who need to be dealt with, not his neighbors.

Leon was not reassured by the obviously unskilled Count Montes... The more clumsy Fabrice was, the greater the possibility that he would be taken advantage of by others.

He has now decided that after returning, he must ask Yuri to focus on the intelligence of Count Montes’ territory… The Tiger Blade’s past foundation is still quite useful.

An adventure group like theirs is bound to have connections all over the world... although it costs money.

But at least they have something to spend their money on.

Although it would certainly take a lot of time and money, it was not difficult to resolve the issues related to Count Fabrice Montes.

At least there is a direction to start.

And Lowry.

Leon sighed softly in his heart.

This is the most troublesome kind of neighbor.

Lori has no shortage of money or resources, and he really dislikes anything related to the Montes family, so he will definitely not deal with other nobles to avoid someone bringing up some bad things with him.

Leon certainly knew about the already formed osmanthus forest that was closely connected to Baron Dugan's territory. His Tiger Blade had also taken over the task of planting and protecting it.

However, I was so happy when I received the money, and I feel so sad when I think about it now.

Leon didn't have any idea about Lori's territory, but...
