Dear Broom Knight

“Your Yake indeed has a good son.” Annis had no intention of discussing that useless daughter.

Although she did find a way out for that child, since the other party was so reckless as to mix in and suffer, she didn't need to bother.

Now, Annis's heart was as hard as iron.

Just a depraved daughter born to gain trust.

Who cares?

“How exactly did Lori judge…” Annis ignored Pat's warning and focused solely on Lori.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Pat coldly interrupted her, “Lori just knew that I would definitely take a look at Marian’s funeral, so he specifically reminded me not to think there was anything wrong with those four siblings because of their performance.

Especially those two girls, I think they were polite enough not to laugh in front of Marian's coffin.”

“So, I don’t understand why you value such a woman so much?” Annis leaned on the pile of cushions, looking at Pat with alluring eyes, “Shouldn’t that kind of woman, who can even send her own daughter to the auction block, be the type you hate the most?”

“Marian really didn’t care much about her children’s feelings.” Pat was silent for a few seconds before saying, “But besides satisfying her own wishes, she has already given her children what she considers the best way out.

She just lacks compassion and empathy, and has almost no emotions, and likes to start from interests when doing things.

In her opinion, what does it matter to be happy or unhappy? Living, and living well, is the real life.

Annis, I know you haven't met a girl like Marian, but it took almost all her effort to transform from a girl in the farmland to the current Mrs. Marian Tolle.

She didn't even have a proper surname before. Even by Yake's tolerant standards, she lived a very difficult life.

Even a husband like Tolle was snatched back by her with all her efforts.

Because she was an accident, not a certainty.

In the eyes of knights who value bloodlines, marrying her meant that their children had a 50% chance of having low or no talent.

She did lose her inner balance because of those past events, and did a lot of bad things.

However, after so many years of fighting side by side, countless times back-to-back, Marian never exposed my back to the enemy because she felt it was dangerous.”

“Is this the so-called camaraderie?” Annis couldn’t help but laugh, “Even character and bottom line can be lowered to the extreme because of this thing, it’s really interesting.”

Pat glanced at her: “You can say Marian has a low bottom line, but she still has one.

You’ve already reached such a height in the Tower Church, do you still think having a low bottom line is an insult?

Having one at all counts as a person.

Besides, no matter what differences I have with her, no matter whether I am dissatisfied with her, she shouldn’t have lost her life because of my mistake.”

“So, you directly gave Horne a knife in front of that Saint Kyle?” Annis leaned on the pile of pillows, laughing so hard that she bent over, “I say, Pat, you are really capable!

When I think of the elders preparing to congratulate Horne and reward him, they had to desperately save his life first, I want to laugh.

Tsk tsk ~

The key is that our Lord actually thinks your revenge is not wrong. Horne did violate your taboo... How exactly did you take the oath of allegiance back then, that even doing this kind of thing can be accepted?”

Pat blinked: “I don’t seem to need to tell you.

Besides, Horne isn't dead.”

“Yes, he is not dead, but after lurking for so many years, playing so big, and even bringing back the divine grace obtained by a saint's credit, it is estimated that one near-death recovery is enough for him to consume most of it.” Annis shook her head, “You are really bad, Pat.

Clearly, you used to be straightforward, only knowing how to fight and kill, how did you learn to be so…”

“Our Lord doesn’t want him to die, what can I do?” Pat replied calmly.

Of course, some of Lori's young master's ideas seemed to have indeed influenced her.

For example, the witty saying that if you can't kill an enemy, you have to find a way to make him wish he were dead is not always meaningless.

“Ah… Pat, when do you think we will be able to make it through?” Annis looked at the sky outside the carriage and asked with a look of melancholy.

“I don’t understand your suffering.” Pat replied calmly, “Just like I don’t know whether you would be willing to give up your current good life for those past sufferings, Saint Annis.”

Annis's cat-like eyes narrowed into a slit: “You can rest assured about this. The only meaning of my life now is to turn Count Gezahr's family and the Storm Church into ashes!”

Pat silently glanced at her, and didn't say anything more.

She, and some companions who had tragic experiences back then, although in great pain, were at least not sent in by their own biological parents.

Including those girls who were later not accepted by their families and could only grow up in the secret base of the Tower Church and end their lives there, although they hated their parents' abandonment, they didn't hate them to the point of wanting them to die.

But Annis… Even if she is living so freely and gloriously now, Pat would only think she is miserable.

Beneath her extremely beautiful appearance, there is only a tattered, pieced-together soul that is barely sewn together… To make the archbishops of the Storm Church, who dared to defy the will of the Storm Lord, believe in his determination to cooperate, Count Gezahr must offer treasures that are enough to convince everyone.

And Annis, this daughter whom he loved so much and who lived more freely than princesses since she was a child, was the most powerful proof.

No one knew how she survived in the hands of that group of vicious old men… Pat even saw with her own eyes that Count Gezahr was watching while Annis was being frantically abused.

Annis also saw the old guy watching with her own eyes.

Even though Pat had always thought she was quite strong, she couldn't say that she could survive such a disaster.

What kept her going to the end was the love in her heart.

Annis's was probably the endless fire of revenge.

Don't look at how Count Gezahr seemed to treat Annis very well later, and even gave her enough freedom.

But to put it bluntly, he didn't give Annis, this daughter, a chance to gain power.

The superficial indulgence and the secret precautions all prove that the old guy is not stupid.

It's just that the reality that even the enraged Storm Lord didn't wipe out Count Gezahr's family made Pat understand that some things, even gods have to compromise.

Count Gezahr even transformed himself into half a victim. After all, it was his family's bloodline that was used as a tonic.

No one can say that when that group of people passed the edge of madness, they wouldn't even cook him, the Gezahr patriarch.

And what was found out, the doomsday trilogy designed for the Gezahr family by those archbishops, did indeed prove that they never intended to let go of any Gezahr.

So, even if that old guy betrayed his own family's children, even if… in the end, it can only be said that he was incompetent and shameless.

Pat didn't believe this.

However, the time of the Storm Lord's arrival was too short, and there was not enough time to find out the truth.

She could only leave everything after that to another group of archbishops who had not been found to have problems to deal with.

Then, such a disgusting ending appeared.

Pat had never asked Annis how she became this result, but the collective entry of the victims into the embrace of the Tower Church was the final ending.

Including some girls who were taken back home, in the end, they couldn't bear this disgusting thing. Even if they didn't officially enter the Tower Church, they would definitely lend a helping hand.

Pat even felt disgusted with the Storm Lord at first.

Until she had a conversation with the Lord of the Tower.

That one actually likes to ramble, but I don't know why he chose her.

All in all, Pat understood a little: Gods are never omniscient, they can even be deceived.

As long as the person who deceives them doesn't know that what they are saying is a lie.

Those gods who showed unparalleled power in ancient times must mobilize ten times the divine power to do something to the main material plane under the current world laws.

This is a very terrifying consumption for any god.

On the contrary, the world laws will be more lenient to existences like the Lord of the Tower and the Lord of Ice, who are stronger than demigods but have not yet become gods.

But their consumption is also huge, but compared to those true gods, they can still go all out.

Nowadays, a god who, like the Storm Lord, just because the people of his church do evil, will wield divine power and send down heavenly punishment can be said to be truly righteous.

Other gods are considered good if they can take away the divine power from the related people when they discover sin.

But even such a Storm Lord cannot waste his divine power to monitor his clergy.

Otherwise, he, the Lord of the Tower, would not be single-mindedly looking for trouble with the Storm Church.

This evil god has always been straightforward, so he very frankly told Pat, who was saved by his behavior, that it was because the Storm Lord's reaction after knowing about this matter could be used by him, that he had been tracking the behavior of those people in the Storm Church, just waiting for them to make mistakes so that he could negotiate with the Storm Lord!

However, the Storm Lord seemed to be quite satisfied with his behavior and was actually willing to give him a chance.

What could Pat say? This was her own master.
