Dear Broom Knight

When a person desperately wants to sleep but is afraid to do so for various reasons, they are bound to be irritable.

Therefore, Lowry, who usually didn't care much about small things, was now behaving fiercely.

He was actually very clear about the fact that the people around the White Dragon King unconsciously had some scrutiny or indifference towards Lowry because of his young age, or rather, because of his overly obvious disregard for Count Montes.

That administrative officer, who had worked diligently for so many years and rarely made mistakes, had stumbled with Lowry, all because of similar reasons.

His Majesty the King was unwilling to blame his loyal subordinate and friend of many years for this kind of thing, so he didn't mention the real reason at all.

But how could Lowry not know?

Especially since His Majesty the King was worried that Lowry would do something to that administrative officer, he specifically mentioned the relationship between that guy and Count Montes: When Count Montes was in the army, he had always been following behind that administrative officer and the current Minister of Finance.

As a knight who was relatively young, relatively weak, and whose status needed to be taken care of, even if Count Montes would also follow His Majesty the King to charge into the enemy's ranks, he would inevitably be placed in the middle of the knight formation, being swept along in the charge.

Of course, the fact that he could avoid holding back the main force was actually quite admirable, and he had also been injured and shed tears… for the sacrificed comrades, following the King's Guards for many years at the four major borders before retiring with the legitimate reason that his father couldn't hold on any longer.

Even if he later had to be slightly ambiguous in his attitude due to his status as a border noble, the camaraderie of so many years in the past could not be changed.

Not to mention that Count Montes had been watched growing up by these people.

Lowry could understand the complex emotions they had when they saw him.

Lowry's actions were certainly not wrong, but in the eyes of these people, they must have felt that he was a bit cold-blooded.

If he hadn't chosen to stay outside with Mrs. Yagris to enjoy the scenery at the time, and had gone in to lend a hand when he knew the Montes family was in danger, Count Montes might have escaped.

It was no secret that Lowry carried several magic wands with him.

Although Lowry felt that these guys had problems with their brains when he noticed their mentality… They couldn't even do it themselves, but they wanted Lowry to do it, were they crazy?

But he was too lazy to pay attention to so much, slightly nodded to the White Dragon King, indicating that he understood what was going on, and he would just not bother with them.

After all, Lowry didn't want to shine in the world of the powerful, so he wouldn't get too entangled in some small things… Anyway, if it happens again next time, Lowry will just keep silent~

See who will be unlucky then.

It certainly won't be him.

The White Dragon King agreed to his Gale Wolf caravan, and the reasons on the surface were indeed sufficient and sounded very legitimate, but that administrative officer himself knew what was going on.

Including the Minister of Finance who worked hard to promote this transaction, he also knew very well in his heart.

If eighty percent was for tax revenue, then twenty percent was also to provide his old friend with an opportunity to reconcile with Lowry.

Otherwise, even if this matter was tacitly let go by both parties, it would definitely be a knot in Lowry's heart, and it would explode at some unknown time.

That administrative officer also understood this in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have taken on the task so actively and proactively, and his attitude towards the Gale Wolves sent by Lowry wouldn't have been so good that it didn't seem like him… Even the chief eunuch beside the emperor could be so arrogant! Not to mention that he was still a complete person.

After most nobles and officials had carefully flattered him for decades, how many people could still maintain that kind of humble attitude?

Besides, he couldn't treat everyone with that attitude… The world was different, nobles would take an inch and want a mile, and accidentally saying polite words would cause trouble.

After holding his chin up for too long, he probably forgot how to put it down.

Therefore, after Lowry listened to the report from that Gale Wolf heir, he knew that the administrative officer Dorisk was secretly indicating that he would not be foolish again.

Therefore, Lowry didn't say anything more after that.

But before this, it was all him exchanging information with the palace. This was the first time that Lowry needed the palace to provide detailed external information related to other countries and other forces.

Even if Dorisk wasn't being foolish, Lowry didn't know if something else would put on an act in front of Chesca.

If he would have tolerated these messy things in the past, Lowry couldn't tolerate them now.

The torment of wanting to sleep but not being able to made his whole person full of anxiety.

But Ruthkania specifically ran over to remind him that he must withstand the first desire for sleep.

This was very important for underage dragons. Once they chose to go with the flow, they might sleep for hundreds of years in the future, and nothing could wake them up.

As long as they withstood this first time, the dragon could awaken a certain vigilant nerve… such as setting some conditions that would inevitably wake them up, or even setting the duration of sleep.

The lesson of the Mist Dragon was brought up again by Ruthkania… That guy was the famous type who slept for a hundred years, and then slept for five hundred years.

Although he changed it later, anyone could understand how painful astral drifting would be for a dragon who liked to live in the mist.

Ruthkania sincerely persuaded Lowry not to satisfy his current desires with future torment… She had endured it back then!

But Lowry accepting reality and choosing to do so didn't mean he wasn't upset, and it didn't mean he didn't want to make trouble.

He even hoped that Dorisk and those old friends of Count Montes would have their brains break again, so that he would have a reason to quarrel with someone.

Heh~

Chesca peeked in and found that Lowry's expression was still so colorful, full of emotions and desires, so she knew that the Baron was definitely thinking about some way to trick people.

Ever since Lowry became the Baron of Gezar in a chaotic situation and had to start learning magic, Chesca hadn't seen her lord show this kind of expression of wanting to find someone to play games for a long time.

Well, Lowry's reputation before the age of eight was not an exaggeration.

It's just that at that time… Chesca couldn't help but look back at the window… The bigger troubles were all caused by the current new mother and Lowry together.

Was their Baron trying to carry the burden alone?

Chesca took a deep breath: "Baron, please rest assured, I will definitely try my best to fulfill your wishes!"

Lowry didn't realize that the girl seemed to have misunderstood something until Chesca had left.

But after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly felt that it didn't matter.

The relationship between him and the White Dragon King was becoming deeper and deeper with one accident after another.

Even if Lowry didn't have any ideas in his heart, he should slightly test His Majesty the King's true attitude towards him at the moment.

After all, although Ruthkania had very clearly told Lowry that Travis only had a vague understanding of Lowry's identity… Ordinary people, without enough inheritance, could not distinguish between a dragon humanoid and a dragonborn.

The White Dragon King also didn't have the ability to trace back to such an ancient place in Ruthkania's mental chains.

Although they had no secrets between each other, they weren't completely frank… If you think of it and ask me, I will definitely tell you, but if you don't think of it, I definitely won't remember.

Of course, the main reason why they formed this way of getting along despite caring, loving, and trusting each other so much was still the dragon's determination to guard their treasure.

No matter how much Ruthkania trusted Travis, she wouldn't tell him what was in her treasure trove, or what treasures she had secretly retrieved.

In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts with Ruthkania, His Majesty Travis wouldn't mention his national treasury and private treasury to her, let alone tell her how many good things were recovered from the major mines every year.

Although most of the minerals were put into the national treasury and royal treasury, there were also many in the White Dragon King's private treasury.

This was almost their tacit understanding… Ruthkania was also unwilling to test her willpower for no reason.

Anyway, Lowry taught her many good ways to make money, and Travis only needed to judge whether it was worthwhile.

But Travis at least knew that he was a dragonborn.

This King's performance was sometimes very… divided.

One cannot assume that he would equally recognize humans with dragon blood just because of his attitude towards Ruthkania.

Lowry certainly knew that he would basically not offend His Majesty the King's sensitive areas, but… he still had to confirm whether Travis's attitude towards him was as always.

As for whether Dorisk would be dissatisfied because of Chesca's attitude, Lowry didn't bother to care.

The other party hadn't cared about him before, had they?

It was only because he realized that doing so would affect the White Dragon King's own interests that the administrative officer felt regret.

If it only affected Lowry's interests, he certainly wouldn't have this kind of attitude now.

Although Lowry accepted the apology from His Majesty the King at the beginning, and also understood Dorisk's bowing his head… it didn't mean that he and that administrative officer could still get along well after they had to reconcile.

Of course, the most important thing was that he was so uncomfortable now, why could the people he didn't like still be so comfortable?

Lowry chuckled coldly, and then was stunned to find that in the reflection of the crystal window, his eyes actually faintly showed a circle of purple light.

He blinked slightly, and saw a small string of lightning burst out of his eye sockets.
