Dear Broom Knight

His Majesty Travis thought about it and felt that it was a bit foolish for such a big king like himself to discuss such trivial matters with a bunch of unreliable people.

In the end, he simply handed the matter over to Lady Yagris, the highest-ranking noblewoman in the North.

Of course, he didn't think his orders could be carried out if Lowry strongly opposed them, so he proposed a compromise.

These noble ladies and underage children would enter Lady Yagris's manor directly by water and spend half of the social month there.

Then, in the second half of the month, they would meet with the men who had finished their political meetings in the Hamilton Earl's territory.

Fortunately, due to some historical reasons, there are currently no female nobles or clan leaders in the North.

Once the new Earl of Hamilton takes office, his wife will be able to take back this task.

After all, at that time, Lady Yagris's position will still have to take a step back... Royal nobles are definitely at the top of the hierarchy when they are of equal status.

In order to get Lady Yagris and Lowry to accept his suggestion, His Majesty Travis also paid a certain price.

Although Lowry didn't ask what his mother had obtained, judging from her performance, it should be resources related to her path as a knight.

These resources, which are almost monopolized by the top people, Lowry certainly has the ability to obtain, but he definitely can't get the best ones.

He still has no way to use money to override power.

He can buy them because he has already gained the approval of that circle.

What Lowry himself obtained was also very good.

Although Lowry had learned a lot of systematic mage knowledge after becoming Alsarran's student, there were some royal secrets that Alsarran could not teach him.

In addition to giving Lowry a lot of high-level magic materials, Travis also gave him some of this exclusive spell information.

Generally speaking, this kind of information is related to the royal family's unique magic arrays. Giving it to Lowry is definitely Travis's own arbitrary decision.

Although Lowry understood that His Majesty Travis chose to do this because he knew that Lowry had the inheritance of a dragon, and he probably wouldn't force them to learn those spells that they had taken a big detour on due to a lack of knowledge.

But this is also a sign of trust.

Although it was a bit like a moral kidnapping, at least he paid first.

Lowry could accept this little trick.

After all, there weren't many things he needed to do.

Lady Yagris was the focus.

Moreover, his mother took this opportunity to help Cheska along.

This kind of human relationship, which basically no one who isn't a great noble can understand, is really difficult to figure out on your own without someone teaching you.

And Lady Yagris has clearly been handing over more things to Cheska to handle this year... This is also why Lowry feels that she had already seen Cheska's current situation.

Lowry looked at Cheska, who had finished dealing with the castle affairs and was leisurely walking towards the manor on horseback, and smiled slightly.

This year's Winter Banquet is probably the last one held at Lowry's place.

The wife of the new Earl of Hamilton will definitely take this matter back immediately.

The things that Leon and Yuri didn't care about, this new Earl of Hamilton wouldn't be indifferent to.

But this year will definitely be the year when the nobles reach the most consensus.

No one is a fool.

The nobles' recognition of Leon comes from their understanding of him over the past twenty years, which is why they are so eager to get close to him.

Those messy methods are not commendable, but... if they didn't think Leon would definitely be able to gain a foothold in the North and be considered qualified in dealing with people and things, those ladies wouldn't rush forward.

The fact that this newcomer didn't even go to the Hamilton Earl's territory in advance to have a formal handover with Leon, but waited for Leon in the capital, shows that he is not a tolerant person.

Moreover, his style must be very high-pressure.

The Northern nobles are the least afraid of high-pressure policies.

Being in a border war zone, who doesn't have the ability to go crazy?

Not to mention that many of them were originally from the border army, and they all have their own reliance.

Although they wouldn't dare to offend this new earl, they are not afraid of his unreasonable demands.

But they must be worried about this person randomly pairing people up.

Just like Lady Yagris back then, was she afraid of Count Gezhar's dirty tricks?

"Look, those flowers over there are so beautiful~" A beautifully dressed little girl pinched her small fan, looking at a young man with a hint of shyness, a hint of enthusiasm, and a bit of persistence.

This was originally a very beautiful scene.

If she wasn't facing a pair of young lovers with not-so-good complexions.

Cheska clenched her fist.

She no longer remembers what kind of determination she made before entering the manor. Now, Cheska only feels exhausted and disheartened... She would rather go wrestling with Bobo like Tyler!

Aren't they a couple?

Why did you just rush up like that!

But after making several wrong choices, Cheska had no intention of saying anything more, but just raised her hand slightly: "That is a Tu Mi Shahua, only our territory has it.

Moreover, blooming flowers can only be seen in this manor.

Please enjoy it slowly."

"What brilliant flowers~" The girl holding the small fan said with great emotion, "It's just that there is always a feeling of the end of glory.

Don't you think so? Francis."

"Francis Payton." The boy reached out and held the shoulder of his companion who was about to turn around, "We are not at the point of calling each other's names."

"Hmm... In other words, you, representing the Payton family, are withdrawing the marriage request that you made to our family?" The girl holding the small fan said in a calm voice.

"Our family doesn't only have me as an eligible person." Payton didn't say anything definite.

"Heh~" The small fan girl sneered slightly, "Please, go and tell my mother, who is chatting happily in the hall, and your mother, these words again."

Payton hesitated for a while, but after his companion struggled harder and harder on his shoulder, he pushed her into the hall.

The small fan girl lowered her fan slightly, leaned against the corridor pillar, revealing a beautiful face with a hint of desolation in her calmness.

Unexpectedly, there was a subtle similarity with the blooming Tu Mi Shahua next to her.

Standing in her position, Cheska was completely indifferent.

She knew very well who these boys and girls were.

Lady Yagris took her to every corner of the manor before the banquet started, explained the functions of each area to her clearly, and also let her stand behind her after the banquet started, and met everyone who came to greet Lady Yagris.

Although Cheska doesn't have a proper noble position, so she can't do a mutual introduction and greeting in this kind of occasion, they both understand what's going on.

However, after this stage, Cheska can return to her proper position... The area where she is standing is actually outside the passage from the manor to the castle area.

Although no lady has ever tried to open this passage in the banquets of the past few years.

But Cheska has never slackened in guarding this place.

She is very clear that the reason why she is standing here as the general manager of Qingfeng Territory is to represent Lowry's will: he will never accept any transgressive behavior.

No matter who it is, no matter how beautiful they are.

In fact, in the past two years, more boys than girls have been interested in this passage.

They like to bring the girls they admire to this area, expressing that they will also work hard to become a strong person like Baron Lowry who has reached the height of his life through his own abilities.

It's just a constant ambition, Cheska has long been numb to it.

After all, except for the first one who really wanted to swear to his beloved girl, the others were just following the trend.

They can even bring more than a dozen girls during the half-month social period.

As for whether the girl in front of her is really sad or wants Cheska to see her sadness, Cheska has no interest in considering it.

She will not leave this corner for anything.

Then, she heard a familiar voice.

"Cheska, long time no see."

A lady dressed extremely luxuriously and with a very elegant posture walked in slowly from behind the curtain in the hall.

"Excuse me..." Cheska, who was leaning against the wall, stood up straight, with a hint of apology on her face.

Even though she had only heard this lady introduce herself behind Lady Yagris two hours ago.

The noblewoman's originally bright face twisted slightly.

She looked at the curious girl standing on the side: "Sophia, aren't you going to see your mother? She doesn't seem to be in a good mood."

"Sophia Watson." Sophia replied immediately seriously, "Madam, I don't think our relationship allows you to call me by my name."

Cheska couldn't help but show a smile.

Sophia Watson, indeed has the qualifications to say this.

Although they are both from baron families, the Watson family is an old Northern noble family.

If Baron Barty hadn't married a daughter to the Earl's family, Baron Watson would have been the first baron in the North.

After all, Baron Watson is still serving in the Northern Border Army, and his position is not low.

Besides, Sophia Watson is the baron's own daughter.

The other one is just a cousin of a certain baron.
