Dear Broom Knight

So, being the Queen of the North is not really a good thing.

His Majesty the King himself has no real interest in actively seeking marriage partners.

But if someone wants to play some kind of exchange of benefits with him, he won't refuse.

Moreover, at this stage, those who are still willing to be his queen don't really need him to remind them of anything beforehand, given so many previous examples!

Among His Majesty the King's many wives, only the first one is never mentioned... after all, when she married him, His Majesty the King was still a prince who wasn't taken very seriously, always liked to run around, and didn't even interact much with the army.

Who could have imagined that the reason he didn't care about anything was because he simply didn't need to?

When the former king really wanted to decide on an heir, the white dragon flying freely in the sky above the royal capital instantly shattered the beautiful dreams of many.

To be honest, that noble lady probably never thought she would become queen one day.

If His Majesty the King hadn't been ruthless enough to completely clear out the servants in the palace, she probably wouldn't have survived until her son came of age.

But her methods were not very good, her personality was not strong enough, and her family also had some problems, so she eventually worried herself to death.

Moreover, His Majesty the King's eldest son didn't seem to have much talent for knighthood, and his temperament was relatively gentle. He truly remained the first heir to the throne for his entire life, and even in death, he was buried in that capacity.

However, those were things from nearly a hundred years ago, and even Lowry's own father, who had once served His Majesty the King as an attendant, didn't know much about them... The Montes family is a typical border noble family, and their heir would only lead horses for His Majesty the King. They simply didn't have the qualifications for things like being the first heir to the throne.

So, when the eight-year-old Earl Montes arrived at the King's side, everything before that had already come to an end.

Speaking of which, Lowry occasionally feels sorry for his own father... after all, others brushed horses, but he brushed a dragon.

One cleaning job would leave him bedridden for three days.

Earl Montes has always had a good relationship with his companions who once served as the King's attendants, and this is also related to that.

No amount of competitiveness can withstand the hard work under the dragon's might.

As for the one who competed with His Majesty the King for the throne before, it wasn't that he had completely given up, but he was just afraid of death at the time.

It doesn't mean that he accepted his fate so readily afterward.

Moreover, his supporters may not have been truly willing to stop there.

Everyone has been playing conspiracies and tricks for so long, who can stand such a disgusting result?

If he had exposed the white dragon from the beginning... of course, if it was determined that the dragon was a young dragon, everyone would definitely have taken action to some extent, and would never have allowed the dragon to enter adulthood.

But at least it would have allowed most people to take the right side!

This is not something that His Majesty the King can just dismiss with a single statement that the past is not to be investigated!

What about all the capital that everyone has invested over the years?

Sunk costs are sometimes not a matter of whether you are willing to bear them, but rather that some of the capital is a threat to everyone.

The reason why Earl Montes followed His Majesty the King in his southern and northern expeditions, including Lowry's mother, Lady Yagris, who also spent a long time on the battlefield, was actually due to some remaining problems from the past.

It's just that Earl Montes participated in the frontal battlefield, witnessing firsthand how His Majesty the King and his white dragon completely tore apart the neighboring country's defenses, and followed them all the way to the other side's capital.

To monitor those new nobles, unless his bamboo leaf-like territory passed through the back of Earl Montes' territory, cutting out a bamboo leaf on the opposite side as well.

However, even if he thought it was okay, His Majesty the King wouldn't be so stupid.

There must be his eyes among the new border nobles, so there is no need to specially arrange a supervisor.

Of course, it was precisely because a large number of new nobles were arranged among the past border nobles that Earl Montes dared to exchange territories with the original baron.

As for Lady Yagris, she joined the war to clean up the newly occupied lands.

Seizing territory and dividing land sounds easy, but for the king of the neighboring country, it may just be a loss of face, and the heartache is probably not as great as losing a mine.

But for those citizens who are sent out as appendages, especially the original local nobles, it is simply a nightmare.

After the commoners are sure that their lives are better than in the past, even if they still feel a little bitter and reluctant in their hearts, they can still get by.

But for the nobles, it is no different from a catastrophe.

Therefore, they resisted very fiercely.

Perhaps it is quite painful from their perspective, but in the beginning, they themselves offered themselves up for profit.

All of that completely calmed down ten years before Lowry was born.

Speaking of which, these last two queens have lasted quite a long time.

The most regrettable was the previous one, who clearly had a good temperament, but unfortunately suffered during childbirth.

Although the King doesn't have the requirement that the queens must have children, their families do.

Of course, His Majesty the King's reputation for 'killing his wives' is so loud that any girl with a brain wouldn't sell herself for a queen's title without any real power.

Therefore, the position of Queen of the North has basically been controlled by two types of people in the past few decades... One type is those who have no idea what they're getting into and think they can completely change the King who doesn't love beauty, and the other type is those who are exceptionally weak and still listen to their families even with a strong husband like His Majesty the King.

However, if it weren't for these two types of personalities, those large families wouldn't let them marry into the palace.

Their Majesty the King has always been ruthless and merciless, and if the queen really wants to play some kind of severance with her family, he will definitely help.

Anyway, he has already gotten everything he should get.

Lowry sincerely feels that His Majesty the King may have acquired some of the bad habits of dragons after becoming allies with the white dragon, such as being greedy for money.

Otherwise, why would he put some of his, um, things on the balance for trading?
