Dear Broom Knight

Although Ezra's arrival at Hamilton Castle was extremely glorious, he behaved very calmly afterward.

He didn't even rush the Northern nobles to pay him homage, but instead began to renovate the very standard castle.

Lyon and Yuri actually built a very good castle. Even someone as knowledgeable as Lorry could feel the castle's majesty and solemnity.

However, the overly pragmatic style of these two people made the castle particularly serious... Lorry would look at it a couple of times at most, and would never live in it himself.

That feeling... was like standing in front of a large factory, watching the once romantic, dashing, and bright senior brothers and sisters, junior brothers and sisters, almost all looking the same, with the same temperament, nearly converging into the same symbol, and fleeing in silence, overwhelmed by mixed feelings.

That was the first time he understood how terrifying standardization could be for an artist.

Lorry originally thought he was being too sensitive, but judging from Ezra's performance, Lyon and Yuri were indeed a bit abnormal.

Ezra was practically giving the castle a complete makeover.

However, he ultimately respected Lyon's wishes... Bronze wood and black granite weren't very valuable, but in the North, they were already the best building materials.

Especially bronze wood, its protective power was only slightly worse than granite, but its weight was only one-tenth of granite's... Most importantly, its insulation effect was very strong.

Yuri was a very good housekeeper who was very good at budgeting.

Although bronze wood was relatively expensive, it was a one-time solution... Even during the coldest times in the North, you only needed to light the fireplace.

Lorry's castle couldn't do that.

All the advantages of bronze wood were lost in front of its blue-black outer surface, which was difficult to conceal with dyes.

It wasn't entirely impossible to color the bronze wood, but the cost would be higher than choosing something else from the start... Like Lorry, using a large number of constant temperature magic arrays to smooth everything out.

However, most of the Northern lords were more pragmatic, and everyone understood Yuri's thrifty ways.

The money saved on fuel was the most important thing.

Ezra was indeed very rich, but even military nobles, no matter how extravagant they were, couldn't burn so much money just for the sake of good looks, buying paints that had no use other than coloring.

He ultimately chose to 'respect' the future King of the North's aesthetics, which Lorry didn't find strange at all.

But if he just went over like that, the image he had worked so hard to build would inevitably collapse... When the Lord of Qingfeng Territory built his castle, he never considered whether spending money was cost-effective.

That style of just going ahead without asking anything made the Northerners deeply understand the demeanor of the rich.

Whether it was intentional or not, whatever his mindset was when he chose to appear in the North in this image, Ezra couldn't let his efforts go to waste.

So, he chose a very interesting method... adding a layer of casing to the outer walls of the castle.

Using a large number of crystal plates of various colors... one side was crystal, the other was stone... piecing together geometric patterns, covering the black and blue-black castle.

Ezra excellently maintained his true colors... Crystal wasn't a native mineral of the North, so this thing was very expensive here.

Even though the crystal plates were the cheapest crystals... and connected to the stone veneer, the sheer quantity was staggering.

If Lorry didn't know that Ezra himself owned a giant crystal mine, he would probably think that this new Lord of Hamilton was generous enough.

"Lord Lorry probably doesn't have that interest, does he?" The young housekeeper gently poured Fabrice a glass of fruit wine, "He didn't go when Lord Lyon took office."

"So, he cleverly chose to renovate his castle." Fabrice took a sip of wine, "This period of time is enough for him to test the waters."

"Lord Earl, are you... going to go?" The housekeeper asked hesitantly.

Logically speaking, their Earl should go.

But Fabrice hadn't let him prepare gifts and travel gear to Hamilton Territory.

Although he could be considered a child from the Montes housekeeper family, his father was just the former housekeeper's younger brother, and he only knew about many things but hadn't operated them.

He could only feel his way around.

Fortunately, although his uncle had stepped down, he hadn't been able to pass the position of housekeeper to his son, but at least he had retired unscathed.

Earl Fabrice was still tolerant and didn't intend to argue with him about some past events. The former housekeeper didn't leave any stumbling blocks when he left.

But he must still be uncomfortable in his heart, and it was impossible to properly teach the successor.

The new housekeeper was groping around on his own in this situation.

However, he was still quite clever, knowing that Fabrice dared to change housekeepers like this must have his reliance, and he would ask for help when something happened.

Fabrice really didn't think he was useless, and would patiently teach him whenever he encountered a problem.

"I will definitely go." Fabrice smiled, "But the preparation must be said after Uncle Lorry moves.

Even the movement of refusal."

The housekeeper asked hesitantly, "Is this okay?"

Fabrice raised his eyes to look at him: "Don't worry, Uncle Lorry won't bother with me for this level of showing off.

Just grasp the degree."

Fabrice didn't really care about those messes of the former housekeeper.

Although Fabrice felt a little uncomfortable because of the housekeeper's silly daughter, for the housekeeper who had served the Montes Earl for generations, and countless people had given their lives for their family, this little discomfort wasn't enough to affect his trust.

Fabrice just wanted to communicate with him properly and re-integrate their ideas... He wasn't the type of person his father was, and there was no need for many things.

However, he found that the housekeeper indeed didn't resent him, but resented Mrs. Yagris and Uncle Lorry.

Of course, the housekeeper knew that his little resentment was non-existent to those two, so he chose to start with the relationship between Fabrice and Lorry.

As a 'smart person', the housekeeper would definitely not openly provoke or obviously plot, he just allowed Montes Territory to excessively borrow the power of Qingfeng Territory.

Although Lorry was a fairly generous uncle, he ignored some subtle actions of his nephew, which could be regarded as a low-key recognition.

But the others in Qingfeng Territory wouldn't think so.

If it was done too much, someone would definitely be dissatisfied.

But as long as Lorry could still endure it, these people could only admit their bad luck.

But they couldn't help but complain to Lorry.

Over time, when Fabrice felt that he could survive independently and no longer needed to rely on Lorry, the relationship between them would definitely become completely cold.

If Fabrice didn't know the inside story, he would probably think that Uncle Lorry was still brooding over those past events... Then, in order to respect his uncle's feelings, Fabrice could only silently stay where he was, silently waiting for the day his uncle would let go.

Uncle Lorry was a good person, even if he hated Fabrice's existence, he wouldn't let him fend for himself... Fabrice had long known this, and would really be affected.

The former housekeeper had beautiful ideas, but unfortunately, Fabrice was very sensitive to anything related to his Uncle Lorry. As soon as he started to move, he was caught by Fabrice.

Although the former housekeeper's explanations were reasonable and persuasive... But Fabrice didn't believe a word.

The housekeeper was just someone who assisted him in his work, not someone who made decisions for him... Also taught by Mrs. Yagris, Fabrice was absolutely the same as Lorry in this regard.

Fabrice was no longer the one who could only rely on Mrs. Yagris to be the head of the family, so he simply kicked the former family out and called the new housekeeper's family into the castle.

The new housekeeper, Patterson, was a little younger than him, but he had also completed the basic housekeeper courses... Although Lorry, who was the same age, would definitely not use him, there was still Kyle!

If it hadn't been for those troublesome things, Patterson, who was a few years older than Kyle, would have been by Kyle's side to manage his internal affairs after he turned 16.

Mrs. Yagris should have also arranged similar people for Uncle Lorry.

It's just that, because of his parents' divine operations, Uncle Lorry, who was only 8 years old, directly separated from the family, and that Cheska Knight directly took over all the daily management work himself, and did it perfectly.

Those prepared by Mrs. Yagris were simply not sent over.

Later, later... With the collapse of Montes Castle, it was no longer worth mentioning.

The Patterson family, who had bad luck, was very lucky to be unharmed in that change.

The reason why they were said to have bad luck was because Patterson's father should have been by the side of his unlucky second uncle.

However, his second uncle had never separated from the family and had always lived in the left wing of Fabrice's family.

It was impossible to have two male housekeepers who had a say in the left wing.

Then the younger brother, no matter which younger brother, could only choose to take a step back.

The Patterson family could only leave the castle and place their hopes on Patterson's generation.

It just so happened that Fabrice had a brother who was just the right age.

Patterson, as an eligible person, and, as everyone understood, a sacrificed person, was re-recruited into the castle and began to study housekeeper courses.

In this regard, Fabrice was quite fortunate, even if he had to teach many things bit by bit, he was willing.
