Founder Of The Greatest Noble Family

In the office room of Baron Igor’s manor, the baron sat behind a large oak desk with his face etched with worry as he sifted through a pile of reports.

The papers, covered in detailed accounts from the western and northern regions, painted a grim picture. The intensity of the border conflicts had escalated, and many nobles from neighboring countries had their sights set on the valuable crystal mines.

Crystals were one greatest source of the economy. Not only the energy contained in it could be used to train soldiers, but it was very helpful in creating Mage legions.

So, the economy and military upgrade that it brought was hard to turn a blind eye to.

Baroness Martha entered the room and observed her husband’s troubled demeanor. "Why are you so worried, Darling? If the situation is so dire, why not halt this crusade?"

Baron Igor looked up from the reports, his expression heavy with concern. "It’s not that simple, Martha. The investments we’ve made are substantial. Stepping back now would be catastrophic for us. We’re in too deep, and if anything goes wrong, the entire region’s power dynamics could shift."

"If we lose, the entire Yak family would be drowned.Our enemies would pounce, and the king might just replace the entire nobility with new faces."

Baroness Martha frowned, her concern evident. "Then what do you propose we do?"

A spark of inspiration suddenly lit up Baron Igor’s face. He straightened up and clapped his hands together. "Martha, I think I’ve got an idea. We should seek an alliance with Baron Roland. I’ve heard he recently married and that his wife is looking for intelligent and capable women."

"Huh"

Martha paused for a moment trying to understand what she heard.
