Soon.

He saw Janet sitting on a high-backed wooden chair.

Her hands were clasped in front of her, draped in animal fur over a thin silk robe.

The robe was overly loose, and the hem fell onto the carpet on the floor.

The pair of long crossed fair legs was directly exposed to Joao's gaze.

Joao glanced briefly and then shifted his eyes away.

Standing a few meters in front of Janet, Joao spoke calmly, "Lady Janet, I have urgent matters to report to you!"

Perhaps due to the recent bath, Janet's skin was flushed red, and even her breathing was slightly hurried.

Janet spoke, "Uncle Joao, please go ahead."

Joao acknowledged with a sound and began to explain.

"A few days ago, Manor Lord Banaby invited Theodore and Will to his manor."

Janet furrowed her brow, "Will went too?"

Joao confirmed, "Yes, he also went."

"According to the information from my informant, their meeting was to discuss one issue."

Janet did not speak, waiting for Joao to continue.

"They discussed—how to destroy our Frank Manor!"

Janet's brow furrowed even deeper.

However, she did not react and instead continued to ask Joao, "Uncle Joao, what was the outcome?"

"Did they reach an agreement?"

Joao shook his head, "No, Janet."

"From what I know, they reached a disagreement over the final distribution of benefits."

"Because Manor Lord Will said that dividing Frank Manor into three was unfair!"

Janet fell silent.

She had asked Will directly whether he would stand with Frank Manor.

Initially, Janet thought Will would consider the favor Jonas did for him in helping him become a Manor Lord and stand on the same side as Frank Manor.

However, Will told her he would stand with the victors.

Now, Will had gone to Banaby's manor and attended the gathering.

To outsiders, it seemed he was closer to Manor Lords Banaby and Theodore.

Yet, Will also raised such concerns, subtly blocking the alliance among the Three Great Estates.

For a moment, Janet did not know how to determine Will's stance.

Her gaze turned towards Joao opposite her, enquiring, "Uncle Joao, what do you think we should do now?"

Joao's gaze swept over Janet, hesitating for a few seconds.

"Banaby and Theodore have always coveted Frank Manor for long."

"Previously, they were restrained due to the old man's balance, so they dared not attempt anything."

"But now, the old man has passed away, and the Ducas Clan's relationships in Kasong City and Bordeaux City have been severed."

"The Frank Clan can hardly gain the blessed favor of past nobility and Lords..."

Joao continued, "Even if the current military strength of Frank Manor surpasses each estate."

"But if they unite, Frank Manor will have no defense!"

Janet nodded in agreement.

Joao's tone shifted.

"But Janet, luckily, Lawrence is still staying in Morgan Town."

"You know the Ducas Clan has never liked internal conflicts among vassals."

"Even if it's just a minor Manor Lord!"

Janet nodded again, "We can find a way to break the stalemate while Lawrence is still in Morgan Town."

"As soon as Lawrence leaves, immediately launch an attack on the Three Great Estates."

"Bring the entire Morgan Town under control!"

"Since they want to destroy the Frank Clan, they must be prepared to be annihilated!"

Feeling the ambition and boldness in Janet's words, Joao slightly nodded.

Looking at the young Janet before him, he showed an approving look.

Generations ago, Frank Manor has always balanced the entire Morgan Town and the four major estates.

Moreover.

It has always nurtured five hundred full-time cavalry, ready to charge for the manor.

Horses, chain armor, and lance!

Except for responding to Marquis Donovan Ducas's summons for one battle before.

These five hundred cavalry have been routinely training, patrolling daily, guarding the territory.

Five hundred cavalry, considered a terrifying weapon in the whole Morgan Town.

But such a weapon has never been used by several generations of Frank Manor Lords.

They have always relied on strategy to balance and handle issues occurring in Morgan Town.

However.

Joao saw ambition and dominance in Janet!

Just as Janet said.

Since the Three Great Estates want to destroy Frank Manor.

They must be prepared for annihilation!

Joao looked at Janet opposite him and asked, "Janet, what do I need to do?"

Janet replied, "Uncle Joao, if I need you to charge bravely, I will inform you immediately."

"Now, you can go back to rest, it's late."

"By the way, call the carpenter, I need some repairs on the door."

Listening to Janet's words.

Joao nodded, stepped back a few steps, then turned and left the bedroom.

Watching Joao thoughtfully close the door for her, Janet withdrew her gaze.

But her brow never relaxed.

In her mind, she thought about breaking the stalemate.

In Janet's mind, there were two ideas.

First, offer benefits and continue to win over Will.

Even if Will doesn't want to stand on the same side as her, he can't stand with Banaby and Theodore.
