Dear Broom Knight

Travis didn't even want to recall how he felt when he heard the news at the front lines.

He really, TMD, wanted to turn the army around and kill those people first.

Of course, his own son couldn't be spared either.

If he couldn't kill him, he'd have to beat him for three days and three nights, making sure he couldn't get out of bed for three years.

Since he was already ruined, there was no need to expect him to reach level 10.

Unfortunately, he still had reason, knowing that his primary task was to repel the invading enemy.

It was also at that moment that Travis realized he was still a good person.

Between the nation and personal gain, he chose the nation.

What he was protecting was the dignity of the Northern Royal Family.

This was also a major reason why Travis, who originally didn't have much insistence on the identity of the Northern King, was determined to sit on the throne until he was tired of it.

For this throne, he had paid far more than he had expected.

Then he had to sit long enough, until he was tired of it.

However, thinking of this, Travis could more or less understand why Garcia would take a fancy to the Hissar family.

Especially since the talents of the eldest son's children were so poor that even the other princes didn't take them seriously.

That child, as long as his uncles cried and said in front of him that it was all for Garcia's sake that he was so wronged back then, and that he had finally found a chance to save himself, how could he give up for the sake of a woman he had never loved and the children she bore... It's not like they were going to take those children's lives.

Travis could more or less understand why his son preferred his second wife.

His wife, whom he was forced to marry, had such mediocre bloodline inheritance that she naturally rarely had marriage alliances with proper noble families.

So they themselves didn't actually have any plans in this regard.

They usually married into families similar to their own.

In the North, there were actually many ordinary noble families that had developed from military merit families.

Although they didn't have any special abilities other than those specialized in the military, they weren't too bad.

Moreover, they were more likely to agree with each other.

Not being recognized by the traditional great nobles was actually not that important to them.

So, that girl only knew how to be a proper head of a noble family; she was accustomed to internal affairs statistics, managing the manor, taking care of the daily life of the whole family, and her style was simply incompatible with the ways of the court.

And these things, the women of the court mainly directed others to do; they only needed to know how to calculate and how to balance the accounts.

Completely not understanding court life, although she had some pity for her, her husband absolutely did not love her... In this inexplicable marriage, the girl suffered the most.

Travis really wanted to ask his son, who had rejuvenated his life because of his second spring, since he was so soft-hearted and so kind, why couldn't he see his unfortunate wife?

But he also understood that although he was used as a knife, that girl's family had indeed been tempted.

If they didn't cooperate, this marriage would not have been settled so quickly.

As for whether Travis would regret it after returning... that was definitely impossible.

Even if this family was also tempted.

But they were from military merit nobles, representatives of the part of the people who followed Travis to fight for the country, not hesitating to sacrifice their lives.

Moreover, their family also had a dozen or so knights, large and small, who were following Travis, fighting desperately!

Although Travis was ruthless, there were some things he really couldn't do.

After all, that family only left behind some female knights at the time; the young and strong men of the right age had all gone to the battlefield.

For ordinary knight families who didn't know much about certain things, it was really normal to strive for a princess consort position for their daughter.

Wanting a better life was originally not wrong.

Those people really calculated everything back then.

His son also knew, but in his heart, he was still somewhat unwilling.

Although he himself was the culprit of this unwillingness.

But shifting responsibility was human nature.

Travis could only awkwardly watch his eldest son live his life like an idiot.

In that family, the most innocent one was Leon.

When Leon was born, his eldest son still felt sorry for his ex-wife and was also worried that his current wife would harm the previous children, so he was a little indifferent to Leon.

He repeatedly emphasized that Leon would never inherit his resources, even though Leon's talent was visibly outstanding.

That idiot even chose to suppress Leon's confidence in secret.

Travis was so busy that he naturally couldn't manage his son's family affairs too much.

Besides, he had dozens of sons! None of them had made mistakes in this kind of thing; who would have thought that those few children could be played by his stupid son.

Of course, if you want to suppress him, then suppress him.

Anyway, that woman from the Hissar family had the ruthlessness of a sable.

After discovering her husband's attitude towards Leon, she also quickly gave up on her son, not thinking about fighting for anything for Leon, but instead striving for her husband's love for herself.

If it were a woman like Yagris, how could she allow this kind of thing to happen, she would have fought with her husband!

Are men that important?

Although his queens didn't have very long lives, there really weren't many who died because they couldn't get his love.

Exhausting their efforts was not for his love.

It was all for their own families.

Alas... although he was a little stupid, most things weren't put on the table, and Leon's temperament was very firm, at most he didn't have much affection for his parents, but it wouldn't lead to major events.

If they hadn't later produced a young son.

Moreover, they doted on this young son to the point of being indiscriminate.

Those broken things that were created back then because they didn't want Leon to threaten the previous few sons were not used on the young son at all.

It was also that the eldest son died at a good time, not letting him abandon all his previous efforts... at least in the eyes of outsiders, he was still the best to the previous batch of children.

Thinking of this, Travis felt a headache.

To be honest, he was indeed not satisfied with that marriage and looked down on the qualifications of those children.

But what Travis thought was that he would be in power for so long, as long as these children had more marriage alliances with families with bloodline inheritance, there would always be one who was promising.

In the end? Everything was gone.

With the two children from the Hissar side who both had passable talents, which big family could still look at the previous few!

Unless they married the collateral branches of big families.

However, Travis wasn't specifically cleaning up messes for his son.

The son who repeatedly went against his will, but always followed his maternal family, it was already very good that he could maintain his fatherly love.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have interfered too much when Leon was betrayed by his own mother.

It was also that Leon's performance has been very good over the years, which made him raise a little hope again, otherwise Travis had already planned to consider other sons.

Thinking of this, Travis felt a little more comfortable.

It was normal for Garcia to have selfish intentions; as long as he didn't have malicious thoughts, then he could still tolerate it.

At most, he would let the other party return to his original position and return what he had swallowed over the years; it wouldn't be enough to make him use ruthless methods.

Then, he would be worthy of his wife and son.

As for Hissar... what he needs to know now is the origin of the Hissar family.

He had never heard that Hissar had ever formed an alliance with a certain magical sable family.

Then, where did their agility bloodline come from?

Without any special reason, ordinary knights, even if they reached level 10 or above, would develop in a balanced way.

"I'm back ~" Arslan's voice suddenly rang outside the door.

Travis thought for a while and still didn't put away the map on the table.

Arslan, who pushed the door open, raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Travis said slowly: "Garcia should just be being used.

He's a little too eager for quick success.

You seem to have known for a long time that the Hissar family has a relationship with the Reed family?"

Arslan hesitated for a few seconds and still said: "They are people from the same period as me! Your Majesty.

Have you forgotten that the royal family's magic base is in that area? When I was a child, I was bored and observed those nearby families in the forest."

Travis froze.

"Magic base?" he couldn't help but murmur.

"Ah ~ Didn't you later move those back to the underground of the palace?" Arslan asked a little confusedly, "There weren't such spacious magic practice places in the court before."

Magic, even apprentices, can cause a disaster.

Without sufficient protection, who would dare to let a bunch of mages test the power of their spells at will in their own home!

Although the Northern Royal Family used to be considered rich, they really weren't that willing.

Even if Arslan and the other royal children could already support a sky of court mages, it wouldn't work.

When the White Dragon King came to power, they had normal purchase channels for many resources... Ruthkania's White Dragon direct purchase business ability was very strong.

Although the palace treasury had to pay a large sum of money to invite Ruthkania to be this agent, it was still more cost-effective than buying from those unknown middlemen.

The most important thing was that at least the quality of these materials was guaranteed.

Their unsafe forest magic camp was directly moved into the underground of the palace after that.

"Hissar, Reed..." Travis murmured these two names, and finally added 'Sebephia'.

"Is there anything special in the magic field?" he asked loudly.

"Nothing much!" Arslan thought for a while before saying, "At most, there are some fragments of foreign artifacts that can't be activated.

Weren't those all judged to be waste by the temple?"
