Dear Broom Knight

Lady Yageriss immediately understood who this guy was talking about… her uncle's daughter, Agnes, who had landed her in this predicament.

Although older than Lady Yageriss and not as high-ranking as a knight, she flaunted a baronet title everywhere because she had a good father.

She called it traveling, but in reality, she was selecting beauties everywhere. It was said that the handsome young men and well-known elegant gentlemen in the east and south had almost all been appraised by her… Agnes herself was also good-looking and generous, so naturally, she thrived.

Originally, Lady Yageriss could have lived a life even more comfortable than Agnes!

But she had to turn her marriage into a messy alliance.

Indeed, Lowry's existence prevented her marriage from becoming a complete disaster, but Lady Yageriss absolutely couldn't say that if she had Lowry, she would walk this path again!

She indeed loved her son, but…

The Grand Knight chuckled in anger, coldly looking at his distant cousin, with whom he once had some friendship: "You should understand that saying this is equivalent to completely severing ties with me, right?"

The black-clad woman sighed: "Yager, look at me.

You should be able to see the traces of modification on the clothes I'm wearing… I even have to wear this kind of thing to such an important funeral.

Although I wasn't exactly wealthy when I was a child, and my life wasn't as good as your family's, I could at least have a few new clothes every year to attend formal occasions.

Court nobles, if they don't have support behind them and lose the favor of His Majesty the King, their lives are so miserable…

I have no way to offend her."

"Then, is that your daughter?" Lady Yageriss's mind raced, and she immediately understood something.

"In name, yes." The distant cousin was exceptionally frank.

Lady Yageriss stared at her intently: "You have indeed changed a lot.

However, I will not forget that you were willing to marry him back then.

Just because your husband was a member of the former Queen's family.

Some things, I don't mention, doesn't mean I don't know.

So, just leave… don't come looking for me again."

She looked at her surprised distant cousin and smiled noncommittally: "You don't think that just because Count Montesber has changed and lost power, I have to kowtow to the Gezarr family, do you?"

She stood there, proudly raising her head: "What allows me to live so freely is my own ability!

Without the control of my marriage, what am I afraid of Count Gezarr?"

Her biggest trouble back then wasn't because of Count Gezarr's pressure.

But as an uncle and the head of the Gezarr family, Count Gezarr could control her marriage!

It's not to say that he could directly decide who Lady Yageriss would marry.

But he could send Yageriss's name to those people that Lady Yageriss couldn't refuse!

There is actually no problem for the clan leader to make some suggestions, or even some requests, for the unmarried people in the family, such as preferably controlling their marriage within certain candidates.

Just like Count Montesber, he would also ask his children and nephews to avoid certain forces when choosing a marriage partner, or simply prevent certain marriage partners that he didn't like.

Even if both parents are dead, it is impossible for a nobleman to marry a maid as his wife… that is almost a disgrace to the entire family. Once this kind of thing happens, the clan leader does have a say.

But, the power to give in to others due to this and that will naturally become a sword stabbing back at oneself.

Yageriss clearly knew back then that she couldn't compete with Count Gezarr within the rules… there were always people stronger than her.

However, she is now almost impeccable.

Hinting that her son would eventually belong to another woman, and she wouldn't always be the mistress of the Gezarr barony.

And the Montesber territory, which has already begun to decline, cannot give her any support.

Lady Yageriss only sneered at this group of ignorant fellows.

When was she ever a woman who could only live by relying on men?

Just like the distant cousin in front of her.

When she married into the family back then, that court earl was still living a lavish life!

Even if she had thought a little about the future at that time, instead of partying with that husband, she wouldn't have lived such a life, and even had to raise a illegitimate daughter for Agnes whose father's identity couldn't be revealed.

Heh~ Noble women who live like Agnes don't need to care whether the fathers of their children are the same.

Anyway, it doesn't involve any inheritance rights.

Therefore, there can only be one reason why it can't be said, and that is that revealing the identity of that man would violate noble rules and be criticized by the church.

The Gezarr family and the Storm Church have always had a close relationship, and newborns have baptismal names.

And if it is not that kind of church family, such as the Montesber family, the name will generally not include the name of a certain Storm Bishop as a baptismal name.

In the Gezarr family, children without baptismal names will almost fall into the same fate as illegitimate children.

This, in fact, is one of the reasons why Lady Yageriss cannot resist with violence.

She is still very afraid of the power of the Storm Church.

Therefore, there can only be one reason why Count Gezarr's biological daughter had to give up this child and have her registered under a formal couple… that man is probably also a Gezarr.

I just don't know if the one she has taken a fancy to is close or far, mostly not too far, otherwise it wouldn't be so difficult to operate.

Lady Yageriss curled her lips: "So dirty."

Then she glanced contemptuously at her distant cousin: "Whether it's you, or her!"

The black-clad woman stood stiffly in place.

"Mom… what's wrong with you?" The green-eyed little girl noticed her abnormality and quickly walked over.

"So, scary." The woman murmured softly, "Is this, the deterrence of the strong?

I really am, ignorant of death."

She quickly regained her composure and looked down: "Bringing you in is already the limit, nothing more can be done.

Yager doesn't intend to reconcile with the Gezarr family.

She doesn't seem to have any desire to control her son, and she doesn't intend to let him inherit the title of Earl.

Without desire, there is no place to start.

I think, you can understand?"

A hint of sternness flashed in the green-eyed loli's eyes, and then she quickly returned to her innocent appearance: "Mom, when can we leave?

I miss Aunt Agnes."

The black-clad woman who was warned invisibly smiled indifferently: "Soon, Count Montesber is holding a battlefield funeral, the beginning is the end."

——

Normally, Lowry should also be standing in the center of that square that had just been cleared from a pile of ruins.

But he still quietly sat in the first row of the relatives' seats, looking serious, but motionless.

In the middle of the square, besides Fabris, only Lady Yageriss stood opposite him.

As for the Earl's most loyal subordinates, of course, they were lying steadily in that circle of black coffins on the outer edge of the center, waiting for the final moment.

And the new Earl's confidants were not yet qualified to stand in… although it was not impossible, Lowry's performance made Fabris dare not open this gap.

Otherwise, Lowry, who had only received his title document in advance, could actually pretend that he had not formally separated from the family yet… that document would not take effect until he was 16 years old anyway.

Lowry completely participated in his biological father's funeral as a separated member of the family, although it was a bit disrespectful to the late Count Montesber, it could make the current Count Fabris a lot easier.

Therefore, Fabris would definitely not push his luck… he still knew quite well the temper of his little uncle Lowry, and he definitely wouldn't dare to easily provoke the tiger's whiskers.

"His Majesty the King has arrived!" A loud voice echoed in the air.

The speaker was the King's messenger, sitting on a black eagle more than three meters long.

These messengers, who were not tall, but had loud voices and knew music, and their black eagles that had been trained by the White Dragon, were all created after the White Dragon King ascended the throne.

This King, very much liked to make surprise attacks, but was unwilling to let others say that he was an uninvited guest.

Therefore, he created this new profession to show that he did not really appear without notice.

These messengers, whose height is generally between 1.2 and 1.3 meters, are mostly potential bards, but their talents are not very good.

So, in fact, they have all learned agility-based skills.

Perhaps because of cross-professional learning, they basically have no attack power, and mostly learn skills to hide and lighten themselves.

But Lowry has always felt that these guys can't possibly only have superficial uses.

To put it bluntly, even if they have no attack power, is it so easy to learn cross-professional skills?

At least these people's IQ and physical endurance, especially their willpower, are not bad.

Lowry doesn't understand what a master of the inner court is.

Eunuchs also have divisions of labor, who knows if there is someone who can 'sweep the floor' among the people who clean!

Therefore, he has always been relatively friendly to these messengers whom the nobles look down on.

Of course, mainly because he is a little guilty, after all, even though the other party is only short, Lowry always equates them with eunuchs.

In Lowry's wild thoughts, the White Dragon King arrived gracefully, stepping on Ruthkania's head.

Oh~ another bag of gems is gone.

This was Lowry's first reaction.

In their alliance, His Majesty the King and the White Dragon Lady have the same status.

This kind of condescending posture does not actually conform to their relationship.

Riding is no problem, but stepping on is a bit too much.

Therefore, Ruthkania can get some corresponding compensation every time the White Dragon King pretends to be cool.

As for why the White Dragon's head can think of this… in fact, Ruthkania was only awakened by an expert 5 years ago.
