Dear Broom Knight
#551 - The Sorrow of Almes
"Al!"
Countess Hamilton called out with a gentle expression.
The blue-robed mage, separated from her by a few clouds, flew over with a look of surprise: "Mom~ How did you know I was back?
Did Baron Lowry notify you?"
"Huh?" Countess Hamilton shook her head in astonishment, "No!"
The handsome male mage frowned slightly, then turned and waved to the two large white birds watching from afar: "Thank you for the escort, I'm home!"
The Living Feather didn't react, only observed Countess Hamilton, and after seemingly confirming her identity, instantly disappeared from the spot.
"That's the Living Feather of Qingfeng Ridge's Baron?" Countess Hamilton said with a smile, already knowing the answer, "I didn't expect him to be so polite."
"This should be His Majesty the King's intention." Almos looked at his clueless mother and suppressed a sigh, "Baron Lowry and His Majesty Travis are on very good terms."
"That's for sure." Countess Hamilton nodded in understanding, "Ruth Kania's child is still over there!"
Almos decided to change the subject, although he already felt a headache coming on: "Where's Dad? Is he busy?
Why didn't Mom bring Pearl along?"
"Ah... I forgot Pearl." Countess Hamilton then remembered her husband and daughter, "Hearing Bowen say you suddenly came back, I was startled and came directly.
Strange..."
Countess Hamilton finally noticed something was wrong.
Even if Islay couldn't come out to greet his son because he was busy, what about Pearl?
Although pegasus have requirements for knight rank, Pearl, a high-level knight, certainly has the qualifications... The Countess had ordered one for her daughter long before she broke through, and Pearl had raised it to level 12, making it suitable for riding.
Pearl loves her brother so much, how could she have the ability to come and not rush over?
Even if it was only a hundred meters, she should have appeared with joy.
The Countess only lost her composure for a moment due to her son's sudden return, but after regaining her senses, she realized something was wrong: "Bowen did it on purpose."
Her gentle smile instantly disappeared, and a hint of fierceness flashed in her narrowed eyes: "I've been busy dealing with the caravan's affairs these past two days, after all, the Great Wind Season is coming.
I hope this reason won't surprise me too much."
Almos smiled: "Even if I just missed home, His Majesty Travis would agree.
He trusts that great mage next door very much.
Including, his power."
"That's for sure!" Countess Hamilton replied without hesitation, "The great Lord of Storms is still over there!"
Almos glanced at his mother with a strange expression... So, you know that the person next door might even have the ability to mobilize the avatar of the Lord of Storms, but you still treat him as a strange neighbor?
Just, across a forest and a river, they even opened a shipping port for you!
Almos knew that Lowry the mage wasn't the easiest type to deal with... But are there any strong people who are easy to talk to?
Learn from the former Leon, send a trusted aide to communicate with the neighbor about a small matter, and show your enthusiasm and sincerity to the other party... Even if it can only become a familiar stranger, it's better than the awkwardness now!
Even that shipping port can find so many excuses!
His parents must have relapsed into their old habits.
Be enthusiastic first, then quickly withdraw when you find that the other party doesn't react much.
This is not a mistake, after all, they are both true powerhouses and don't need to bow their heads to anyone.
But this is a neighbor! A neighbor who can't be provoked and has great abilities.
Especially since there's such a big trouble in their own territory!
If you don't take care of the people you can ask for help first, can you expect them to save your life when the time comes?
Although that person might lend a hand out of respect for His Majesty Travis, the timing is uncertain!
What if someone in their family has a bit of bad luck?
Doing things ahead of time will make the road ahead easier...
Forget it.
Almos thought slowly.
If his parents had this foresight, they wouldn't have been suppressed by that old man who accumulated qualifications until they felt they had a chance only when the other party said to retire.
If it were him...
Uh, no, I can't think like that.

Almos, you have to be a good person ~
For the sake of his dear parents and lovely little sister, for the sake of such a harmonious family, be sure to put down the darkness in your heart and think more about happy things.
He floated behind Countess Hamilton, holding onto the saddle with one hand, and asked softly: "Mom, have you been having fun lately?"
"Well, quite happy." Countess Hamilton looked up and thought, "Although it's a little different from the border lord life I imagined, I did see another way of life.
There's a lot of novelty.
Moreover, I bought a lot of beautiful and practical clothes for you and Pearl in Montes Territory... It's a pity, I don't know why, the dresses and jewelry sold in Qingfeng Territory this year don't have any new styles.
We basically have the old models, and we can't wear them on formal occasions."
Almos sighed softly and replied gently: "Maybe it's because Lowry the mage hasn't researched new magical items this year!"
Countess Hamilton suddenly realized: "Oh ~ That's right.
Although the next door is very strong, only he has the ability to research these things.
Those apprentices can only imitate, but they can't innovate."
His mother's thinking is becoming more and more business-oriented.
Almos quickly confirmed this point... So, his father is still paying for that matter?
Although the Countess likes to toss around the caravan, because she has never suffered outside of cultivation, she is basically satisfied as long as the profit is still good and will not over-investigate how the caravan makes money.
Being able to think of the imitation and innovation part, she must have spent a lot of time in the daily affairs of the caravan now.
That is to say, she can no longer tolerate her subordinates earning those well-known 'hard-earned money'.
Almos pursed his lips.
With his mother's temper, although she will make sure his father has food and clothing, she will never provide money to satisfy his little hobbies.
And his father... Hehe ~ A lifetime of savings is gone, and the territory's annual income plus the royal annuity can barely support the territory's construction.
Although Islay has a lot of problems, he will never misuse money that has already been earmarked for large-scale construction in the territory.
Such a long time... So, is his father doing things that make money but don't quite fit the image of a nobleman?
Uncle Bowen, although he is an upright person, he is also a nice guy.
He will often choose to cover up some of his father's 'excessive' things.
Almos looked worriedly at the castle that was already close at hand... Actually, his mother should already be used to his father doing some outrageous things.
But, why would he bring Pearl?
Although that girl Pearl is already an adult, she is raised at home to be particularly... Delicate, so delicate that her brain occasionally gets waterlogged, and Almos is really a little worried.
Even if Pearl is okay, Almos looked at, and was stung by his mother's angry eyes... He really came back to help, not to send his dear father to his death!
