Bab 476: A Need to Counter-attack

The Klover family found itself in an unprecedented situation in its recorded history.

For the first time ever, the estate—the very place where its member resides, their power and the symbol of their lineage located—was under siege.

This was not a mere skirmish but a full-scale attack aimed at seizing control of the family's legacy.

The situation escalated quickly.

Just days ago, Johann escaped from Duke Percival's pursuit, and now the Klover estate was surrounded by mercenaries and conscript soldiers.

Despite the rapid escalation, the nobles in Barlia remained indifferent.

Infighting and civil wars were not uncommon among the nobility of Barlia.

As long as these conflicts did not challenge the authority or threaten the stability of the capital, Barlia's rulers preferred to remain aloof, allowing the nobles to settle their disputes among themselves.
