Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 955 Fate is always strange

Back at his home, Scholar Yuri sat heavily on his large, comfortable sofa, waiting for his bathroom, which automatically filled and heated water, to slowly complete its task.

He spent most of his time living in the palace, so even though the three-story villa that Leon had specially given him was on the right back street of the palace, Yuri didn't care much about the interior decoration; as long as the basic functions worked, it was fine.

Of course, the villa is very secure, after all, this area used to be a palace area where members of the royal family lived.

However, when His Majesty Travis renovated the palace, he expanded the area of ​​the back garden, leaving insufficient space to build a large palace; only some small villas remained.

But these villas with only ten rooms are perfect for Tiger Blade... Yuri estimated when these houses would be completed and could only conclude that His Majesty Travis had made preparations long ago.

Because he rarely returned to live there, Yuri had no interest in leaving his house to his servants, nor did he want to trouble the families of some of the knights in the adventurer's party, so the house looked rather deserted.

Unfortunately, even after twenty years of peaceful life in Hamilton, few Tiger Blade members chose to settle down and start a family.

You can't expect those few ladies to manage an entire street.

Yuri sighed.

He knew Leon didn't care if he brought back a problem after going to Edwards' house.

But that's not Yuri's style.

He wanted the cup not for the future of the North, nor for Leon's sake.

It was all for his own sake.

Yuri silently took out his pen and recalculated his prophecy formula on the parchment... then he couldn't help but frown.

There are two types of prophecy spells. One type is where the talent is focused on destiny, allowing one to pinpoint a specific turning point with a single glance.

Another method is to rely entirely on calculations.

By plugging various factors into a fixed formula, the more complete the elements are, the closer the result will be to reality... Rather than a prediction, it is more like 'every cause has an effect'.

But this thing can basically only be used as a reference for people who are good at planning. After all, it is the reality that is determined by removing all external factors, and it may not be realized at any time due to an accident.

Yuri naturally regarded this spell as a simulation test before preparing various plans.

But for some reason, these recent prophecies, no matter how he changed the preconditions, all yielded the same result.

This is incredible.

It was as if fate was giving him a warning.

Yuri felt like there was a clock pounding in his head.

There were some things that His Majesty Travis hadn't kept from him, including the recent events involving the Edwards family, which had indirectly reminded him of them.

But Yuri couldn't understand why he had gotten involved in it.

Especially when he used Leon for calculations, it had absolutely no effect.

The only thing he could think of was his biological mother, who had never paid any attention to him.

Bloodlines are something that always seem to cause trouble when they shouldn't be there.

Then, when he saw the golden cup in Celie's hand, an idea flashed through his mind: this thing might be useful to him.

But Yuri's recalculation only slightly deviated from the worst-case scenario.

He sighed in frustration, turned and went into the bathroom.

Well, at least there's been some progress, maybe things will turn around soon... Lying lazily in his round bathtub, Yuri let out a faint, hopeful groan.

The gauze curtains surrounding the bath moved automatically without any wind.

A supple, fair hand gently rested on the gauze curtain.

Yuri closed her eyes and slowly sank into the water: "Showing up uninvited is not something a good girl should do."

"Are you serious?"

The woman who walked in was completely wrapped in a black crochet lace dress.

It was clearly an extremely sexy long dress, but the bathroom lights weren't very bright, so you could only vaguely see a tiny bit of it.

But her figure is just too perfect.

The way the clothes partially reveal her skin is simply breathtaking.

Yuri tried to calm himself down, but eventually closed his eyes.

"I look best in black, don't I?" the woman greeted sweetly.

"You've gone a bit too far," Yuri said, trying to calm his voice.

"Oh, dear Yuri, it's kind of funny to say this when I can just push the door open and come in without even ringing the doorbell!"

What are you struggling with?

“Pat, I am indeed attracted to you.” Yuri sat up slightly and said calmly, “But I also feel the same resistance.”

After all, you and I both know that it's difficult for me to meet your fundamental needs.

"Don't make it sound like I just want to find a man with guts..." Pat rolled his eyes. "I prefer enjoying the present to being a womanizer."

And why are you behaving like you're being proposed to?
I'll only be here for two days.

Yuri suddenly opened his eyes: "Are you going to the North?"

“Not necessarily,” Pat replied with a smile. “He’ll most likely go to Vargas.”

“At the same latitude, the gods chose the North, but they might not necessarily go to Vargas. The faith there is actually purer than in the North.” Yuri had truly calmed down by now.

Despite the daily infighting within the Earth Church, they are merely trying to eliminate their colleagues. Their faith in the Lord of the Earth is only strengthened by these conflicts.

After all, they were only fighting against heretics within the same faith... To eliminate their opponents, they naturally had to first solidify their own foundation.

But it's different in the north.

The Church of Storms is someone to be wary of.

Although everyone respects the Lord of Storms, there will always be those who temporarily abandon him for personal gain.

"You only want to say this when you see me like this?" Pat was a little annoyed. "Well, open your eyes and look at me!"

She stretched one leg out and placed it on the edge of the bathtub, where the light from the wall cascading down shone perfectly.

On the black tulle skirt, it looked as if a snake was slithering, outlining that shapely figure...

Yuri took a deep breath, reached out a hand, and pulled her into the water.

Her long hair, like a waterfall, cascaded onto the water's surface.

"Hmm? What does it taste like?" the woman asked softly.

"The taste of desire."

A white mist filled the air.
-
"Yuri, he's not back yet?" Leon, sitting behind the huge desk, looked numb. "Didn't he go home the night before last?"
Even if something happened, it wouldn't warrant leaving me for this long!

Milian glanced at him: "I remember that Yuri had already finished his work before he went to Edwards' house."

Even if there is new work, it doesn't need to be done immediately.

Leon kicked the table in frustration: "With him gone, more people are bothering me."

"That's strange. If they believe the rumors about me and Yuri, why would they dare to introduce me to women behind Yuri's back?"

“Because you are His Majesty the King!” Milian replied without changing his expression. “If you want to, what can Brother Yuri do if he doesn’t want to?”
He is indeed very strong, but he is only a support player.

Without him, His Majesty the King will face difficulties, and many things will spiral out of control.

But without you, he loses his power.

In the eyes of those nobles, since Brother Yuri had previously tolerated your flirting, he wouldn't react much afterward.

Of course, ideally, you'd be able to completely reject some uncrowned empress for the sake of the woman you love.

"Do they think I'm a fool?" Leon asked, somewhat bewildered. "What kind of woman could make me give up my brothers of so many years?"

“Perhaps it’s because you were chosen by His Majesty Travis,” Seven said slowly. “So, one day you’ll become a political creature.”

"Oh~" Leon casually put his legs on the table. "You're thinking way ahead."

So, what is Yuri doing?

"Why do you have to ask a question you already know the answer to?" Milian looked up and pinched the side of her nose.

Since the Tiger Blades all live in the same place, some things simply cannot be kept from the neighbors.

Yuri's house was conveniently located between him and Seven, and they could even enter it freely.

Then, their entry permits were suddenly revoked two nights ago.

Milian, who was raised by Yuri since childhood, understands best what has happened.

In the past, when Leon and Yuri's new lovers came to visit, he would be suddenly taken out by Seven and the others, and he would not be able to open a certain room that he wanted to go to in the middle of the night.

Although the two preferred to go to the woman's place or to a hotel.

But some of the female adventurers are trustworthy and not too troublesome... No inn is as comfortable as the one Yuri manages!
Furthermore, Pat's behavior at the Edwards' house was not concealed.

Milian also knew the story of the Black Swan.

Do I even need to explain what happened in that house?
“I just don’t understand why it’s been so long,” Leon replied sincerely. “I haven’t left the house for two days, which has made me feel a little… strange about Yuri, who has never been in good health.”

He didn't seem to have ordered any food, right?

"When the mood strikes," Seven said with a strange expression. "A stamina potion will do."

Milian looked around, then kicked off the chair beneath her, sending it sliding right to the doorway: "You think you can get away with this mess with your dear little brother?"

"So, why did it take so long?"

Leon ignored him and continued muttering, "Even stamina potions can't restore certain...special..."

Milian jumped up and slammed the door shut as she left.

“You’re just teasing him for no reason,” Seven said calmly.

“Pat, I still have a feeling she won’t give up.” Leon paused for two seconds before saying, “Is the drug Yuri is taking really okay?”

“There’s definitely no problem.” Seven laughed. “Even a special antidote won’t work. You have to add something that Yuri hid beforehand to completely neutralize it.”

That's a key.

unless……"

"Unless what?" Leon sat up alertly.

“Unless you possess life energy comparable to that of dozens of White Dragon Kings,” Seven said in a strange tone, “you know, another kind of energy.”
