Dear Broom Knight

Doriske was dissatisfied with this outcome, but he could only accept it.

Of course, he also understood that the reason why the nobles of the Northern Kingdom could largely stand behind the White Dragon King was because of the big target that was the Storm faction.

Of course, the most important thing was that the White Dragon King, who held the power of the throne, suppressed all their petty thoughts... otherwise, there would inevitably be some short-sighted fellows.

So, at least in the eyes of the current nobles of the Northern Kingdom, instead of fighting over trivial interests with people who shared the same stance, it was better to squeeze more out of the Storm Church.

If they could be completely wiped out, then everyone would be able to eat their fill.

Whether it could be done was one thing, but where to focus their eyes was the most important thing.

So, sometimes, the White Dragon King would not directly kill certain enemies... but he also could not allow them to cross the line.

Now, Duke Schroeder and the High Priest of the Northern Storm were going too far, and they had to be pushed back.

Political struggles were originally like this; they appeared grand and imposing, but in essence, they only resolved superficial issues.

When those two only accepted gifts from their subordinates, but there was no evidence to prove that they were the masterminds... Doriske had no doubt that before the Lord of Storm's hurricane reached Count Gezall's territory, that Count would have to commit suicide out of guilt and remorse.

An existence like the Lord of Storm, who strictly demanded his subordinates... as long as they were implicated, they could never continue to hold a position in the Storm Church... was already so rare that people worshiped him.

However, even he could not directly kill his believers when there was insufficient evidence.

Sometimes, even gods could be deceived... The Lord of Storm chose to be lenient, of course, because there had been past lessons.

There were always people who could deceive even the gods, making him personally kill his most loyal believers... Piety was never a standard for whether a person was kind.

The Lord of Storm, who had always firmly believed in this, was the reason why the Northerners would never change their faith.

Even though the Storm Church always had various crimes that shocked mortals.

But, clever mortals knew that at least the Storm Church could really expose things when something happened.

The Lord of Storm never concealed anything, and he never showed mercy.

Such a Storm Church, still...

Then, were the other, seemingly harmonious churches really that harmonious?

No one believed it.

The straightforward Northerners still preferred to stick close to the Lord of Storm.

At least they could know how they died.

As for Duke Schroeder, who seemed to have no impact, no one cared about him.

These things were always incidental crimes, not sins that could directly lead them to their deaths.

However, Duke Schroeder's family's defenses had already opened a gap.

The reputation of specifically targeting their own people had already been placed on their heads... The seemingly unbreakable alliance of the Schroeder family would inevitably gradually disintegrate.

In the past, those followers of the Storm Church, even if they had any dissatisfaction in their hearts, would still unite around the Schroeder family.

After all, no one wanted to be the next Gezall family.

Why did the higher-ups of the Storm Church, those who had a say in the Schroeder family, all feel that the Gezall family, even Count Gezall's daughters, could be touched at will?

Wasn't it because Count Gezall had no way to turn back!

Even if the Gezall family was forced into their camp by them using various methods, traitors were still traitors.

No one looked up to them.

Especially knowing that the Northern Royal Family would never accept their allegiance again... Gezall's rebellion was the reason why the Storm Church's forces broke out of the encirclement.

The Northern Royal Family's persistence for thousands of years had been reduced to nothing at that moment.

Although the greatest responsibility lay with that king, no one would think that Gezall was right to do so.

Until now, this Count Gezall, who didn't know why he would kneel to Duke Schroeder's side.

In fact, the Gale Wolves didn't care what two-faced tricks the Gezall family played.

Although wolves valued loyalty, they were only loyal to their own family... What country, what church, who cared?

So, even if the previous Gezalls didn't have a good reputation, Wolf Mountain still welcomed them openly.

But this one now, it wasn't a matter of reputation anymore.

Under the circumstances that Wolf Mountain had always insisted on an alliance with the Gezall family, Count Gezall chose to move his claws first.

This was the Gezall family's second betrayal after the rebellion that year.

Betraying the royal family that time could be said to be excusable in the eyes of many nobles... 'The ruler regards his subjects as dogs and horses, then the subjects regard the ruler as a passerby,' which was human nature.

Don't even mention treating the king as a passerby, they could even treat the monarch as an enemy!

Many nobles were even quite willing to have a Gezall family standing there... at least it could make the kings understand that they must never go too far.

But betraying their own magical creature partners, who had struggled and lived together for so many years, had never done anything to offend them, and had even accompanied them through life and death, the Gale Wolves, was unforgivable.

Who would think that such a person could be dealt with?

Regardless of whether Count Gezall had any greater goals, he had cut off his family's future in the Northern Kingdom the moment things were exposed.

Even without Yanni Si's critical strike, the Gezall family would inevitably head towards its demise... This betrayal was the real damage to the bones.

As long as this matter spread, Gezall would inevitably become synonymous with traitors.

Even if there were still Gezalls in this world, it would be as if there weren't.

This was why Lady Yagris didn't care about Lorre receiving the Gale Wolves and changing the allies' surname from Gezall to Montes.

She knew very well that this was already the best result... Even if Lady Yagris could really reach level 16 in the end, her surname would not be Gezall, but Montes.

And as long as the child Lorre was still a Montes, Lady Yagris would not easily change her surname.

The aristocratic society was a bit like a caste system connected by blood, and the most important thing was that surname.

In fact, Yagris back then had not fantasized about standing at the top of the world with the identity of Gezall... It could be seen from her initial choices, her thoughts.

Unfortunately, Gezall didn't want her.

And aristocratic women, once they changed their surnames, no matter how high they stood in the future, they would never go back.

Of course, they were not only able to wander in the world of men, as long as they had the ability, they could create their own family with their own territory as their surname... It would never be the original surname.

However, Lady Yagris was still better than those noblewomen who were similar to her, unable to return to where they came from, but also unable to find a place to settle down.

Lorre, although he was a Baron Gezall, his surname was Montes after all.

When mentioning him and his territory, many people felt it was particularly tongue-tied, and coupled with their family's awkward past, they always had to explain one or two things when encountering unfamiliar people.

Most people didn't have the interest in having to provide a history lesson while mentioning a personal name.

So, they simply called him by his name, either calling him Mage Lorre or Baron Lorre.

Naturally, his biological mother who moved to his territory was also directly called 'Lady Yagris'.

It was precisely because of these awkward past events that even though everyone knew that the reason why the Gale Wolves went to Lorre was because of the Gezall bloodline in him, no one would associate Lorre with this family.

There was no such saying, no matter what, Lorre was closer to the Montes family.

Then, because of those bizarre operations in the Montes ancestral land, the blood relatives that Lorre recognized were only the current Earl of Montes.

As for the others, in Lorre's words, they were all unimportant outsiders.

Many people even called Lorre's territory not the Barony of Gezall, but the Green Maple Territory.

Of course, the White Dragon King also contributed to this.

He certainly wouldn't let Lorre, whom he favored, be tainted by relatives who were completely unrelated.

Therefore, when the White Dragon King mentioned Lorre and his King's Chamber of Commerce's transaction, he used the very meaningful phrase 'the Gale Wolf caravan of the beautiful Green Maple Territory'.

This made the 'Green Maple Territory', which was originally only spoken of verbally, become the official nickname of the Barony of Gezall from then on.

Except for official written documents, Lorre's side could be directly referred to as the Green Maple Territory on any occasion.

Just like Doriske at this moment.

"Is there any movement from the Green Maple Territory?" He asked Vance somewhat hesitantly.

"What movement?" Vance looked at him with incomprehension, "Lorre as well as Yagris will stand on the side of... oh... you mean, have they expressed their contempt for the County of Gezall on an official level?"

Although the two sides had long been enemies in a practical sense, they had not publicly declared it after all.

If someone wanted to plot against them, it was not without loopholes to exploit.

When wanting to harm someone, no matter how far-fetched the name was, it was still there.

Vance looked up at Doriske: "It wasn't Lorre who came out to speak, it was Yagris.

She has just declared in the identity of a married daughter of Gezall that she has completely severed all ties with the Gezall family."

Doriske nodded: "I didn't expect Yagris to be so decisive this time."

"She probably knew some things a long time ago."
