Dear Broom Knight
#86 - The succession ceremony begins
The White Dragon King shook his head: “Sigh~ You mages, do you have ambition or not? Really, troublesome ah~”
Lowry didn't want to bother with him at all.
Not just any strong person who exchanged heart's blood with a White Dragon could be given the title of 'White Dragon So-and-so,' especially a title like White Dragon King.
The White Dragon King had to feel it was okay.
But after the King of the North was called that, no White Dragon ever came out to protest.
Besides the fact that Ruthkania, who exchanged heart's blood with him, had a special status, the White Dragons also quite approved of his character and temperament.
A guy who could be recognized by a husky, even if he was a cat, would have to be a black and white cat.
Otherwise, Ruthkania wouldn't have openly mentioned to Lowry while chatting that she felt humans weren't suitable for her choice of a partner because of the King of the North… That, at least, proved that the White Dragons saw humans.
Even the White Dragons, who were looked down upon by other dragons, were still very proud and conceited.
It's just that White Dragons need time to wait for their intelligence to understand who they are.
So, Lowry occasionally had a feeling… that His Majesty the King always felt he was trustworthy, not entirely because his background and lineage were within his sphere of influence, but also because he had petted huskies too much in the past.
At least Lowry was very clear about when to ignore the husky's howling at the sky; it was howling for himself.
Even if there was someone else nearby, it was best to just be a listener who didn't disturb him.
The White Dragon King was also quite used to Lowry's slightly stubborn temper.
As long as the kid was unhappy, ignoring him was already Lowry's most friendly behavior.
Then he asked Count Montes, who was still struggling to support himself, again: “Nascimento, are you really not going to regret it?
Once I go back, this matter cannot be changed.”
Count Montes gave a wry smile: “At least the family can continue to be passed down; I won’t die with my eyes closed.
Your Majesty can invite Prince Leon to be the new Border Count, which is already the greatest gift to me.
I will never regret it, nor will I leave any trouble for Fabris.”
He suppressed his desire to look at Lowry, trying to show His Majesty the King his greatest sincerity and gratitude.
Count Montes was indeed very grateful.
Although he had completely given up the future of the Montes family continuing to be the controllers of the border, and had not even offered any opinions on the choice of the new count, leaving it all to His Majesty the King to handle.
But he also knew that doing so would only buy the Montes family a hundred years.
This was still because Lowry was next to him.
Even if the new count was wary of Count Montes, who had been in charge of the Northern Territory for many years, he would have to consider the consequences if Lowry caught him doing something wrong.
Even if Lowry didn't have much affection for this nephew, he wouldn't let others attack his family.
In any case, he was surnamed Montes.
In addition, there was also the existence of Yagris… Even if the new Count Montes married and had children, the position of Countess would still remain with Yagris.
This was also why she could easily give her barony to Lowry.
Otherwise, it could only be passed down after her death.
In this world, there was no such thing as gifting a noble title before death; you either died or lost it.
But it was okay to give the lower of the two titles one possessed to one's blood descendants.
But for the lords of the territory, these titles were linked to the territory itself; the day they lost the territory was the day they lost everything.
Indeed, Leon himself might not outlive His Majesty the King, but as long as he had descendants, the right of succession to the throne would inevitably only be passed down through their line.
So, he became this count not to fight for such a small power as the Border Count for his descendants, but to guard the border belonging to the royal family.
Their minds would never be focused on uprooting the power of the Northern Territory nobles in one fell swoop, leaving only their own family to reign supreme.
In that case, Leon would certainly not care how much strength the Montes family still retained in the Northern Territory.
After all, the Montes family would also be his retainers.
As long as the Montes family didn't suddenly produce a fool who wanted to regain past glory and declare war on the king, they could really survive.
They wouldn't even need to rely on Lowry's help, let alone keep Yagris tied to the county.
Count Montes didn't know who His Majesty the King favored in his heart, but he had already gotten what he wanted most, so what was he still struggling for?
He was about to die.
So many years of struggle and hard work had finally resulted in such an ending; he was indeed unwilling, but he was willing to accept the gamble.
So, even though he knew he could be even more shameless, Count Montes still controlled his urge to go to Lowry and say something.
Of course, Count Montes also understood that the reality that Fabris was sober enough but definitely didn't have the ability was why he was so honest.
The White Dragon King turned to look at Lowry: “Lowry, go call your mother and Fabris back.”
Lowry stood up and waved his hand vigorously.
The moment the defensive force field disappeared, Lady Yagris keenly looked over.
Naturally, she also saw Lowry's beckoning call.
Actually, understanding what had happened, she quickly brought Fabris back.
Lowry turned his head and glanced, directing the two living feathers to His Majesty the King's side… These two were the internet relay station; the signal would definitely be clearer closer.
“Arsalan, have you arrived at the Noble Affairs Office? Did you bring Leon's royal family mark?” The White Dragon King stretched out his finger and tapped the feather.
“I've arrived, and I brought it.” Lowry's teacher's voice came from the feather, “Everyone at the office has arrived, and I'm standing in the center of the Hall of Laws, ready to activate the sealing crystal at any time.”

“Very good, take out the Montes family genealogy and the Northern Territory noble distribution map.” The White Dragon King said slowly, “First, completely eliminate the Dugan and Barty families.”
An old voice rang out: “What's the reason? Your Majesty.”
“Colluding with cults, threatening lords, causing the death of a lord's heir.” The White Dragon King said very seriously.
“Witness?” The old voice continued to ask.
“Nascimento Montes.”
“Yagris Montes.”
“Lowry Montes.”
“Fabris Montes.”
A line of Montes was enough to prove everything.
And the nobles heard clearly how many people were missing in the middle… At such an important moment, it was impossible for any direct descendants of the Montes family not to come.
Unless they were completely gone.
Even at such an important moment, a wave of noise still rippled through the office hall… Even the quietest exchanges couldn't withstand too many people speaking at the same time.
Only the old voice remained unmoved: “Approved.”
“Is a successor nominated?” He quickly asked again.
“Leon Hamilton Copeland.” The White Dragon King quickly replied, “Cancel the Dugan and Barty baronies and combine them with the area in the middle of the current border to form the new Hamilton County.”
A ripple suddenly appeared in front of the White Dragon King: “Please have the relevant personnel confirm the map.”
“Selsio Copeland confirms.” After carefully checking, the White Dragon King stretched out his palm and placed it on the map.
When the ripple appeared again, it was in front of Count Montes, and he also pressed his palm: “Nascimento Montes confirms.”
Naturally, Leon also pressed his handprint: “Leon Hamilton Copeland confirms.”
Lowry couldn't help but scratch his face… To be honest, this was a bit too high-tech.
But he was very clear about where the magical theory and divine art foundation of this set of things came from.
And he understood that the foundation for being able to do this was still the awakening magic circle that collected everyone's information… This was also why his teacher had to take Leon's identity certificate to complete this ritual.
He wasn't in that public information storage core.
Don't look at Leon's registration, but as long as His Majesty the King didn't say anything, no one could determine which royal descendant he was.
They couldn't even tell whether he was a prince or someone from a prince's family.
After all, Leon had at least seven or eight middle names omitted.
In short, since the original Border Count Montes was willing to give it up, and the other party was an unquestionable member of the royal family, as long as it complied with the rules, the Noble Affairs Office had no room to intervene.
This was their greatest sorrow… Even if they controlled the nobles' most core treasures, they didn't have the ability to obstruct anything that His Majesty the King did that was completely within the scope of the law.
Even such a large piece of fat.
The Hamilton County was quickly constructed.
The remaining thing was for Leon himself to clear this territory.
Of course, he could also seek outside help, including the border army, who would be very active in helping.
But in that case, the wealth of the two baronies would not fall into his own hands.
However, Barty and Dugan had basically brought all the decent combat power to the Count's castle in order to cause trouble.
However, they were of no use and were destroyed by the cult that didn't distinguish between friend and foe, including the two of them themselves.
With the combat power of the Fierce Tiger Blade Adventurer Group, there probably wouldn't be any problems.
After all, Leon was obviously not really only at level six.
