Dear Broom Knight
#527 - Not a light
Chapter 527: Not Just One Kind of Light~
Although aristocratic servants like them with some level of professional standing certainly lived better lives than commoners, they also understood that they needed to exchange loyalty and obedience for a comfortable life, but… it was still a bit beyond their imagination.
The servants in the Qingfeng Territory castle, although they entered the castle when they were very young, they did not completely sever contact with their parents and family outside.
After all, their families sent them to the castle to give them a good life.
Although they could also receive some remuneration, that little money was enough to sever the relationship of subordination between the two parties… for example, the servant's future development and marriage partner were basically not restricted by their original parents.
Truly ruthless parents would definitely send them to some merchant groups, or even some 'entertainment venues,' which would really cost a lot of money.
That was life-buying money.
Jenna was a laundress because she wasn't very strong and had a straightforward personality… she preferred to quickly crank the washing machine handle rather than manage those pots and pans.
She didn't have to worry about priorities or use her brain, just 'clank, clank, clank' and she was done.
But that didn't mean she wasn't pretty.
Even in the Qingfeng Territory castle, where there were many beauties, Jenna could still rank among the best.
Her husband, Dean, a worker in the orchard, although his strength was similar to hers, was really good-looking, with a pair of bright blue eyes so watery that even a knight-level maid had taken a fancy to him!
The premise of their mutual attraction was actually their faces.
It was because of these attractive faces that they were both people who had been priced.
That price was the cost of living for their poor family for decades, enough to raise their younger siblings well, and even cultivate a knight.
But their parents didn't hesitate at all and directly refused.
It wasn't because they weren't tempted, but because they knew that Jenna and Dean were so valuable because their bodies were good enough to withstand the torment due to their knightly talent.
The scrap rate was much lower than that of ordinary people.
People in the Northern Territory, especially those from the former Baron Gezar Territory, were basically not ignorant of the outside world.
Such people could not survive in that environment of rampant demons and monsters.
Therefore, the castle servants, especially the low-level servants, maintained contact with their families.
This also made them understand how lucky they were.
Baron Lowry was a decent person and had no interest in treating the beautiful girls in the castle as a kind of 'saleable exhibit,' so the servants could choose their marriage partners according to their own wishes.
However, most of the servants in noble families had their marriage partners designated by the butler, and only the noble's personal servants had a little bit of autonomy… to make choices within a certain range.
Baron Lowry didn't even care whether the servants in the castle were attracted to people outside.
However, if it was a clerk in a store affiliated with the castle, Cesca would arrange for this servant to work on the commercial street.
They wouldn't necessarily be in the same store, but they would be in the same place.
The residences were naturally in the small apartments behind the shopping street.
But if the marriage partner did not belong to the lord's command, then this servant would receive a severance payment and leave 'happily.'
Such people almost never had good results.
It wasn't to say that everyone was blind and chose the wrong person, but that the hardship outside and the hardship in the castle were completely different things.
Loyalty and obedience could be weighed on a scale, and Baron Lowry generously made the center of gravity of this scale lean towards them.
But after going out, there was no such bonus money.
Although love was precious, firewood, rice, oil, and salt, as well as the contrast with the previous life, could slowly wear these things away.
Unless he or she took a fancy to some potential stock, or had the ability to earn enough money.
However, this world rarely saw such things happen.
If it was said that such silly children appeared in the first few years, now, everyone almost only solved it internally.
Moreover, marriage was not a necessary choice in the first place.
Baron Lowry would not require the servants to marry and have children just so that there would always be newcomers to serve him.
There were many rules in the castle, but as long as they didn't have to get the treatment of the Knights, looking at the lives of Miss Cesca and the others was enough for them to live happily.
Being able to live this kind of life now, the servants sincerely felt that this was the happiness that only gods could give.
Especially after the news that Lowry could even communicate with the gods face-to-face gradually spread in the castle, many servants felt that they were serving an 'earthly god.'
Therefore, they were even more loyal and sincerely hoped that their children could better serve the lord.
Compared to Lowry, who simply didn't think that the servants' marriage had anything to do with him, Cesca's thoughts were more utilitarian.
Although Cesca didn't quite understand the psychological activities of these bottom servants, she quite trusted these servants who started families and had children in the castle.
After all, no matter why they came together, their affection for each other must be very high.
Even the most emotionally detached people would inevitably have some feelings for the children born to the people they liked.
Then the threshold for them to betray for the temptation of the outside world would be relatively high.
If anyone could be sold casually, it would inevitably be difficult to monitor those who wanted to harm their family.
But if they had to raise the price again and again, and even have to find different servants to test… Qingfeng Territory's monitoring array would definitely find some traces.
However, in the past few years, Cesca has discovered another benefit: the children's talents are very good.
Cesca sometimes couldn't help but wonder if some of the Dark Night Church's doctrines were really possible: for example, love is a disease, a distress signal from an incomplete person seeking treatment from another relatively incomplete person.
The reason why they love each other, even to the point of living and dying, is because only the other party can save the lack in their souls.
When such two parties combine together, the children born will naturally be much optimized.
And her parents, who had pretty good talents, but only got together because they had the same ideas, the children born would be randomly selected.
The good ones would be about the same as them, but the bad ones… would seem to be offsetting something.
The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
Cesca even felt that her baron finally turning into a dragonborn was quite in line with this idea.
Those qualifications passed down from generation to generation in the Gezar family and the Montes family almost disappeared due to collision, and what remained was naturally only the more powerful bloodline of the giant dragon.
But this was just her guess.
There were not enough samples, and Cesca planned to observe for a while longer.
She smiled and gently patted Jenna on the shoulder: "Sheryl looks like she has good talent at first glance.
Maybe, she can follow me in the future!"
Although most of the knight seedlings would be sent to the three knight orders, if there were girls with good talents and intelligence, Cesca would pick them out and cultivate them by her side.
Valera would do the same, but she didn't care much about men and women, as long as they met her requirements.
But Cesca felt that she was busy enough, and she really didn't want to have to consider how to solve the trouble of her subordinates falling in love one day… The knight order could have husband and wife matches, but not here.
Although the girls would definitely have better relationships, no matter how good the relationship was, they were not a combination of interests.
Some things, it is absolutely impossible to bear for the other party.
But couples are different.
After discovering the abnormality of their partner, how many people can immediately think of killing their relatives righteously?
It's not betraying him/her.
Even if there is only a two-day hesitation, it will bring huge losses to the territory.
Cesca had no interest in making trouble for herself.
Jenna's eyes lit up instantly, and then quickly dimmed: "Miss Cesca… Sheryl's best result is probably to follow behind Knight Comran."
Cesca widened her eyes slightly: She didn't even dare to say Mar!
Although Mar and Comran were in some ways one, most people were more accustomed to regarding Mar as the head of the Qingfeng Territory Knight Order.
There was only one reason to specifically mention Comran… Sheryl only loved to use her hands and didn't use her brain at all.
That's right, Jenna also preferred mechanical movement, and she was trembling even when cleaning the corridor, for fear of breaking those crystal products.
Cesca's eyeballs shook, and she couldn't help but look down.
The little girl held in her mother's hand gave her a sweet smile, and her doll-like cute face instantly hit Cesca.
"Um… Sheryl~" She lowered her voice and asked softly, "Can you do me a little favor?"
"Yes, ma'am!" Sheryl answered loudly.
"You can rest assured." Jenna smiled, "Although Sheryl is very naughty, she is absolutely trustworthy."
Really, a bit like the baron!
Cesca's heart twisted into a ball, and she took the mother and daughter into the secret room, to the side of the big box: "Sheryl, your task today is to look at this box, and then pick out all the slightly glowing ones and put them in this small box."
Sheryl stared at the box very seriously for a while before asking: "Should the different ones be put together too?"
"What?" Cesca was taken aback, "Aren't they all silver light?"
"Yes, silver with a bit of blue!" Sheryl retorted immediately, "Not silver, oh!
Also, gray ones~"
Cesca suddenly felt that her head was a little sore.
But she still remembered how amazing the four-year-old baron was back then… He even hid a lot.
Cesca turned around and took out an opal jewelry box: "Then, the gray ones go here, and the silver-blue ones go there, okay? Sheryl."
"Okay~" Sheryl struggled for a moment, "Mommy! Put me down!"
