Dear Broom Knight
#95 - Funerals, the dead always come
People fear ignorance, but they fear even more when they are ignorant while the other party knows everything.
As a vassal of the Living Feather Knights, Leon was well aware of how quickly those little birds living in the Sweetwood tree could transmit information.
Although they humans didn't understand bird language, the Living Feathers, as magical creatures, did!
Moreover, they could speak human language.
Even if their language wasn't that fluent, it was still easy for them to repeat some bird language.
Furthermore, Leon didn't think that those little birds were the only ones communicating with the two Living Feathers.
He was more inclined to believe that those little birds were suitable as messengers, which was why they were raised in large numbers in the Sweetwood tree.
Rather than being used as messengers because they liked to nest in the Sweetwood tree.
Even if Leon didn't have the brains to analyze so many things, he still had Yuri!
In Yuri's words, Baron Lowry was a very cautious person, a nervous wreck who always felt that someone was trying to stab him in the back.
At that time, Leon could still laugh with Yuri at the young baron's excessive vigilance, but now…
Leon racked his brains but couldn't change the situation: Lowry was the only one watching him.
Of course, he wasn't without other options, such as those people from the Tiger's Blade who remained in Baron Gzall's territory.
But Leon had already decided that once he found a good location for the future Hamilton Earl's castle, he would immediately take away those loyal people from Baron Gzall's territory.
Leaving them there as informants would only harm the Tiger's Blade itself.
Besides, Lowry wasn't his enemy.
Leon just didn't want to be ignorant of his next-door neighbor, not that he intended to deal with him.
Touching his dimensional pouch, Leon couldn't help but wonder: Why had his life suddenly taken such a turn?
He was clearly a righteous knight who relieved suffering, so how had he become a scheming noble?
Then, he looked at his grandfather.
But Leon quickly deflated… it was still because he himself couldn't resist the temptation.
The Frontier Earl was unlike those nobles in the inland.
For those who pursued knightly glory, the Frontier Earl was the strongest halo for a knight.
Generally speaking, people like Earl Montes who stepped down from the position of Frontier Earl could be directly promoted to Marquis, stepping down in glory.
However, it was Fabrice who succeeded, a person who wasn't even a knight.
How could any proper great noble not be a formal professional?
That would be laughed to death.
Therefore, the fact that Fabrice Montes became the Earl without any opposition was already the last glory for this frontier lord family.
If Lowry had succeeded, he would definitely have been promoted.
In other words, the result of Earl Montes's struggle was to win back a weakening BUFF for his family.
No wonder he was still unwilling, even on his deathbed, he wanted to stimulate Lowry, hoping that he would suddenly develop a desire to seize power.
There was a lot hidden in Fabrice's question!
It was only because that kid was young and hadn't received much heir education that he would actually say it out loud.
Madam Yagris's reply was also worth pondering… She not only knew who the steward heir was, but also knew the Earl Montes's token clearly.
In other words, if Lowry suddenly wanted to seize the throne at this moment, he could still do it with his mother's help.
I don't know how Fabrice would feel when he recalls everything today decades later, but Leon was deeply shocked anyway.
He really preferred that Earl Montes favored Alex's lineage until his death.
This great knight was worthy of being a ruthless character who could struggle to create a beautiful life even under the claws of Earl Gzall. She not only pointed out Earl Montes's embarrassment but also left a future for Fabrice's simple-minded brain to think about.
Leon helplessly shook his head, secretly reminding himself to remember Earl Montes's lesson and not just think that he was the smart one.
—
Although Madam Yagris resolutely took Lowry back to the knight's headquarters outside the castle ruins, it was actually just for show.
After all, although so many things had happened, Earl Montes died at dusk on the second day.
And Earl Montes's funeral officially began in the early morning of the following day, thanks to the efforts of the new steward.
Lowry was a little slow to react at first.
He was still a little dazed when he was arranged to greet guests in the second seat.
Fortunately, the people who came to the funeral were also very confused, so everyone was just perfunctory and there was no real exchange of pleasantries.
But thinking about it, you know that the people who rushed over overnight after receiving the notice weren't giving face to Fabrice, the new Earl, but to His Majesty the King, who had been staying there all along.
The friendship between the former Earl Montes and His Majesty the King was there, and the nobles were absolutely unwilling to leave a bad impression with His Majesty the King because of such trivial matters.
Therefore, as long as people could make it in time, they basically came.
Including the two deputy commanders of the Border Army… These were the big shots directly appointed by the King, two level 16 great knights.
Earl Montes's title of commander was just a formality.
Of course, if he could advance to level 16, it wasn't impossible to become a reality.
However, as of today, the Montes family didn't even have this empty name.
The two tall, strong, and mighty great knights also seemed a little at a loss.
Fortunately, Leon's identity allowed him to face the two deputy commanders calmly.
Lowry tilted his head and glanced at Leon and the others, who were chatting smoothly on the other side of the guest seats.
"You don't seem to care, Lord Lowry Montes." A crisp child's voice sounded in his ear.
The newest novels are first published on Liиgqiиgshuba.com!
Lowry turned his head in surprise… Of course, he knew that someone had come behind him, but he didn't expect anyone to talk to him, an outsider and useless person who had already separated from the family, about such a serious issue.
It was a cute and beautiful girl, wearing a black dress, with deep cyan patterns embroidered on the hem. On her seemingly childish face, there was a pair of large green jade eyes that could be described as 'occupying one-third of her face'.
However, this was mainly because her nose and mouth were quite small and exquisite.
Lowry, who had drawn a lot of similar images of girls, had countless names flash through his mind in an instant.
His purple eyes also rippled.
However, the first thing Lowry said was: "This is the relatives' seat, you've come to the wrong place, miss."
The little girl pouted in dissatisfaction, pointing angrily at her big eyes: "Can't you tell I'm a Gzall? What's wrong with me sitting here?"
Looking at her very Yagris-like appearance. Lowry suddenly lost the desire to speak, and answered with little interest: "I remember my mother is an only child.
The positions for distant relatives are three rows back, go there quickly.
You're bothering me."
TMD!
Lowry couldn't help but curse angrily in his heart, who on earth was so lacking in quality, bringing such a little girl over to attract his attention!
Did they think he had an Oedipus complex?
Lowry never thought that he could react so quickly, it was entirely because his theoretical experience was too rich.
Moreover, as a serious and very mature man, he would never regard a girl as an object of affection.
This was prepared for a 12-year-old, mischievous, mother-loving, rebellious, and crazy young boy.
Not an old young man who had experienced the world and seen all the beauties and had already learned to appreciate mature beauty.
Like a mother, for adults, it is indeed a very disgusting operation.
But for little boys, it is indeed easy to attract his attention… Normally speaking, they who are inexperienced would only raise the curiosity of 'I have seen this sister before'.
Madam Yagris, who was standing in the corner and communicating with a 'familiar', glanced at Lowry's side, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth… Her son was always so surprising.
"Yagris, what are you going to do in the future?" A woman wearing a black dress with a very thin waist and wearing a full set of pearl jewelry held Madam Yagris's hand and asked with a sad face.
"Huh?" Yagris asked in confusion, "What what to do?
What difference does it make to me whether Nacimento lives or dies?
I don't need to rely on him to live."
She pulled out her hand and said softly: "Don't worry about these unnecessary things.
Although I really want to spend the rest of my life in Lowry's castle, but, in the short term, I am still the highest military leader of the Montes territory, and there are still many things to do!
On the other hand, cousin, why did you come to Nacimento's funeral?
I remember, you married a court earl, right?
Such a distant place… So, did you originally plan to come and find me?"
The woman awkwardly clenched her silk handkerchief and replied in a low voice: "I took our cousin out for a trip, and happened to arrive nearby, so, I came to see.
I didn't expect to run into…"
"Cousin?" Madam Yagris tilted her head and glanced at the little girl who walked unhappily to the back area, "The Gzall family is all next generation now, right?
Who is that one who is younger than Lowry?"
Her cousin froze, and her voice became sharp: "That's my daughter!"
"Ah? It's really rare for a Gzall family girl to be able to give birth to such a Gzall child!" Madam Yagris said nonchalantly, "Then, what about your cousin?"
"She's too embarrassed to come over." The cousin tried her best to suppress her anger and said as casually as possible, "Speaking of which, she should be more of your cousin."
