Dear Broom Knight

Doris Ke was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "What are you talking about?

I am His Majesty the King's chief administrative officer!

Whether it's strength or the status of my lord..."

"Doris Ke..." Travis, who had been silent and only staring quietly, sighed, calling out to his chief administrative officer who had been abducted, "Do you really want to discuss the difference in status with Arslaan?

Are you really angry because of these things?"

Doris Ke belatedly realized: "Archmage Arslaan! Do you have to trick me like this!"

Even if he did look down on small knights like Cheska in his heart, wasn't that normal?

As a Grand Knight, he had the right.

Cheska, as a junior, shouldn't have said such sarcastic words to a senior Grand Knight who was much older than her parents.

But Arslaan clearly knew the reason, yet he deliberately induced Doris Ke, who had made mistakes in the past and was indeed a little too proud, to transfer that dissatisfaction to Lorry!

That was no longer a dispute between him and Cheska, the two knights. If not handled properly, even His Majesty the King would be dragged into it!

Damn mages! Not a single one is good!

Doris Ke knew that when he was scolding Cheska just now, he must have said some nasty things like 'a dog relying on its master's power', so it was normal for Arslaan to be a little unhappy.

But he really didn't directly curse Lorry!

Doris Ke took a deep breath... He really had been living too smoothly these past few years, and he lost his composure so easily when he got angry.

When Arslaan came in that way, he should have been more vigilant.

But at that time, looking at Arslaan, who had clearly heard everything but still had a mocking and provocative expression while saying the most innocent and ignorant words, he did lose control.

Everything was said by himself... He himself said that he scolded Lorry, and he himself said that Cheska's status was not worthy of being at the table.

If His Majesty the King hadn't reminded him, he probably would have continued to denigrate Baron Lorry's status following Arslaan's words.

However, in the world of mages, the status of a Fifth-Ring mage is already very noble.

As soon as he said this, His Majesty the King would have to make up for his mistake and send a lot of compensation to Lorry.

He would even have to transform this Baron Gezall into an Earl!

There are already two powerful Earl families in the Northern Territory!

One is the royal family that has just secured its position, and the other is the original local tyrant, the Montes family, which has become weak due to illness.

Even if, in theory, Lorry, who left the Montes family, would not help Fabrice Montes.

However, his mother, Countess Yagris, still holds the title of Countess Montes! Even her Knights are still fighting for the Montes Earl's territory.

If Fabrice and Lyon clash, it would be lucky if Lorry could remain neutral... But he would definitely completely cut off communication with the Hamilton Earl's territory.

The current balance in the Northern Territory is essentially because Lorry, the Baron who has relationships with both sides but does not help either, has become a lubricant in the middle.

However, the reason why Lorry can become this lubricant is because everyone pays more attention to his identity as a mage, rather than the title related to the Montes family.

However, if His Majesty the King had to promote Baron Gezall to Earl because of his Doris Ke's mistake... then many past events would inevitably be stirred up again.

The most important point is whether everyone will confuse the former Earl Gezall with the new one.

The Gale Wolves are still in Baron Gezall's territory!

Human emotions and desires have weight... The national destiny and the nobles' luck have always been intertwined, both integrated and separated.

It was not easy to clean up Earl Gezall, the great noble who dragged the national destiny of the Northern Territory into the Church of the Storm... Too ruthless!

Could Doris Ke watch His Majesty the King's efforts over the years be wasted because of his own mistakes?

With his consistent loyalty, there was really only one way to die, and it had to be a death that ruined his reputation to prevent this Earl promotion.

However, his life, even if he himself didn't care, His Majesty the King, and those old friends in the past, would care.

Just like he would inexplicably blame Lorry for Montes' self-inflicted death.

Clearly, he knew very well...

Therefore, His Majesty the King directly interrupted their conversation.

After all, that little Baron Lorry was obviously not interested in the title, and he didn't even care so much about expanding his territory.

Just because of his stupid words... such terrible consequences would be caused.

Everyone involved was innocently implicated, only he was a useless person who was creating evil even when seeking death.

Doris Ke suddenly trembled all over.

What has he been doing these past two years!

Fortunately, outsiders don't know his resentful thoughts, otherwise, if he's not careful, he will really cause a catastrophe!

He deeply lowered his head: "Your Majesty, Doris Ke is no longer suitable to serve you.

I am old, I am starting to become stubborn, selfish, and I take myself too seriously.

My period of decline has begun.

Even if my body is still strong."

A trace of water flashed in Travis's always calm eyes... He had already lost many footsteps behind him, and he had long thought that one day, those footsteps closest to him, following him most closely, would slowly retreat and slowly disappear.

But, it's still too fast, too early.

"Doris Ke, it's not your fault." Travis spoke softly but firmly, "We all know that as the peak of the body passes, there will be such a day sooner or later.

But, if it weren't for those people... your downhill road wouldn't have been so fast."

In fact, the moment Doris Ke was successfully plotted against by those people, he was no longer suitable to continue staying by Travis's side.

If it were him forty years ago, he wouldn't have fallen for this trick.

It was even more impossible for him to really resent a border Baron who was crucial in His Majesty the King's heart just because of those whispers in his ears.

In fact, everyone understands.

Even if Doris Ke himself believes that he was only slightly affected and did nothing excessive... but, how could the former him have made such decisions on his own?

Didn't Doris Ke really know that those intelligence might be important?

He actually knew.

But he just put this importance on Lorry's territory, wanting to stretch out that unfilial son of the Montes family, letting the other party understand that not everyone thinks he is completely right to treat his father like that.

Although he did too much, but... probably not many people would think that Doris Ke couldn't do this.

Who told him to be so meritorious?

But, the former Doris Ke would not put his own emotions above the King's affairs.

Even if he disliked it again, he would definitely complete it diligently.

Doris Ke's change is obvious... The enemy will choose to attack him at this time, naturally because they have seen the signs of his self-righteousness.

This is the inevitable path for every Grand Knight who cannot reach the top, everyone has such a day, and there is nothing to say.

No one can save him.

Only by becoming a Level 16 Knight can one's body be maintained at its peak until the last moment of life when it will rapidly decline.

But how many knights can reach the end of their careers?

Doris Ke was just unlucky.

Even if the White Dragon King was blinded by emotions before, he naturally understood afterwards that his confidant had embarked on this irreversible path.

But, under the premise that Doris Ke himself did not react, how could Travis say it?

With Doris Ke's Knight level, he shouldn't have entered the period of decline so early.

But, being by Travis's side, in addition to glory, there was more of endless battles.

Even, it was a battle in silence.

Every unrecoverable scar on Doris Ke's body was for him, Travis.

The White Dragon King could not possibly say such cruel words... even just reminding Doris Ke would be a kind of cruelty.

Recently, these past few years, he occasionally understood the jealous and malicious eyes that the Storm Church's Northern Territory High Priest and Duke Schroeder had when they saw him.

Time is too cruel for humans.

Especially for those who are powerful, have a long enough prime, and have always held power... when the period of decline is approaching step by step, but there is a being next to them who is said to live at least 8000 years, and will even always be in their prime, it seems understandable to have a mental imbalance.

Only the Storm High Priest in the Northern Territory is using unscrupulous means to prolong life and youth.

The others are all trying to cause trouble so they can enter the Storm Lord's Temple as soon as possible, to try to win the favor of the main god as much as possible... After death, they can enter the Storm Lord's divine kingdom.

Isn't this what ordinary believers want most?

The Storm Lord once sent a former High Priest or former Bishop who became his apostle to the earth to proclaim his divine will.

That is the highest pursuit of people in the church, not eternal youth.

Of course, the White Dragon King will not think that those guys can be forgiven for being enemies with him and harming his people because he understands what stimulated them.

Forgiving enemies has never been in his life philosophy.

He just understood a little from the performance of those people, why Doris Ke never thought that he had begun to age.

Because, he has always been watching him, following him.
