Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 9 They are close lovers
"Yage, can you please be reasonable?" Count Montes said earnestly, "Whatever happened in our own home is our own business. Outsiders can discuss it privately, but we can't bring it up."

He touched his bruised face, with a bitter look on his face: "This is not the first time we have practiced together. For the people in the territory, it is just a joke for a few years that has become a reality before our eyes.

But, putting all these things under the eyes of those people in the capital... Can you really bear to go to the palace for a dinner and have Countess Gezar ask you in person who will win and who will lose between you and me?

Even if you don't consider our reputation, you have to think about Lowry!

Lori! Shut up!

Just when Lori was about to say that he didn't care, he closed his mouth unhappily...his past mischief obviously had side effects at this moment.

But Count Montes also suffered an overwhelming response for this scolding.

"You old fellow!" Madam Yagris flew into a rage. "My son and I haven't even left yet! How dare you speak to my Lori like that!

how?

My son has nothing to do with you, right?"

Count Montes replied with unusual calmness: "Yage, don't think that you can turn Lori into a Gezar completely in this way. It's impossible."

"Heh~ Do you think I'm you? When did I ever consider the Gezale family my family?
The first thing in my heart is always Lori's own interests!" Madam Yagris laughed coldly, "If you want to win back Lori's heart, then come up with something real!

Do you think you can make my son Yagris give up his own interests and work for you just by talking?
Don’t think it’s that beautiful!”

These two people each have their own little thoughts, which is understandable, but...Lori tilted his head and asked subtly: "Why are you all more confident than me?

Mage, that's a job that requires brains!"

Count Montes looked at Lowry with a strange expression: "So, you flipped through so many books, but you were really just flipping through them?

I remember you read books on magic!"

"If I've ever read a book, it must be because of the nice cover or interesting illustrations." Lowry answered confidently, "Who would have such a bad request for an eight-year-old child?

They want me to practice hard and study hard... Does the Montes family have this talent?"

"Maybe, it's the Gezar family?" Count Montes answered very seriously.

However, his disguised compliment only earned him a sneer from his wife: "Ha~ What nonsense are you talking about?
Seriously?

Count Montes also felt that his statement was a bit far-fetched... Just like he once thought that his eldest son's grandfather was a fool, Count Gezar, who was in the central area of the Northern Kingdom, had a good status and abundant resources, but still wanted to get involved in the princes' struggles that had nothing to do with the succession to the throne, was obviously more stupid.

The grandfather of the eldest child in their family could at least say that he was dragged into this situation because the mineral resources had been exhausted, the family resources were insufficient, and they were becoming increasingly poor.

The Gezar family’s mineral resources can still be developed for another two or three hundred years!
The reason why Yagris's biological father was forced to "degenerate" was because he was originally a direct descendant and also had the right to profit from the minerals!
He then fell into a massive debt and was forced to sell his share of the profits to the clan leader, his own brother... Dividends from family minerals like these could only be sold to a member of the clan, and the first person to ask was naturally the clan leader. However, despite his evil and wicked nature, Gezar was truly brainless, his greed earning him the disdain of most respectable nobles.

It’s impossible for his two sons to marry the daughters of great nobles!
It's really funny. Don't you know what you did? And you dare to give birth to two sons?

As for their Montes family, their attributes can be seen at a glance from the family emblem of the Dragon Vein Rhinoceros.

However, the mage's talent has always been an unsolvable problem, so it is not difficult to understand why a negative equals a positive.

Count Montes glanced at his youngest son, who looked eager to try and wait for him to say something wrong and get beaten by Yagris again. He still had some doubts in his heart... and they were not necessarily right.

However, he quickly came to his senses.

The most important thing now is to prevent Yagris from escalating the minor disagreements between them into a point of discord.

That's what the nobility is like.

Even if everyone knows that a husband and wife each have a lover and wish the other to die soon, as long as they have children together and do not talk about this matter openly, they will respect each other like guests.

But for people like him and Yagris, they only have occasional disagreements, but they always have ways to resolve them... no matter what the methods are, and since neither of them has other lovers and their children don't wish each other dead, they are just close lovers who are inseparable.

As for the so-called openness, it actually means exposing the matter to people who are not in your camp.

Therefore, in the Earldom of Montes, even if he and Yagris practiced against each other every day, it was not done "openly".

Even though the visitors to the Noble Affairs Hall clearly saw the wound on his face and understood what had just happened from the conversations of the excited subjects, as long as he and Yagris did not put on another show in front of these guests, they had to pretend that they "didn't know" in public.

Although Count Montes used to disdain such cumbersome rules, he is now very grateful for their existence.

He absolutely could not bear to see Yagris being too "impulsive".

Even though Count Montes was more than half sure that Yagris would not openly destroy their relationship for Lori's sake, he also knew that if his attitude was ambiguous and he didn't reveal anything, then this greater certainty would inevitably disappear completely.

His wife, who could quickly switch from a noble lady to the commander of an army of ten thousand people, was definitely not the kind of girl who would let him get away with it.

Therefore, he could only express his attitude to Yagris earnestly in front of rows of excited eyes and under the contempt of his own son who said "you are so stupid".

Yagris did calm down a bit because of his attitude, but she was still very determined: "I can wait until those people enter the castle to officially announce Lori's title documents before letting Lori move to the Barony of Gezar.

This is my biggest concession!
Otherwise, forget it!"

She touched her silly, innocent son's forehead and said seriously, "I will never accept your stupid idea of suddenly wanting to build some brotherly relationship!"
