NTR: I became a noble?

Since there was Tina, a younger and more beautiful woman than Maya, Terias did not pay much attention to Maya\'s behaviour and Tina was not at all wary of Terias, even though she saw him doing things with Maya.

He believed there existed a good relationship among both the widow maids, at least that\'s what it looked like on the first day.

Both of the maid\'s had spent a good amount of time inside the mansion, they slowly accomodated themselves as they familiarised with the other workers of the same rank.

This development gave John a hint, he believed that the evil forces or to be exact the people under Ekaros were aiming to develop a relationship with Maya and Tina in order to harm Terias.

"The people at the top are too calm but I believe they have already sped up the process. Some of them feel that our allegiance with Earl would help you recover to full health, which is why, this reckless approach." This was exactly what his butler John had said to Terias.

John believed that the Earl Scheta will help Terias recover to his full strength. It was obvious that Ekaros, his third brother would think the same.

Levon and Ekaros were his two brothers, Ekaros was the youngest, thus the strong desire for power in him, the noble title of Viscount was what Ekaros desired.

Levon was his second brother who was well aware of what Terias was capable of, Levon had seen Terias deal with the eldest of the siblings, this made him wary of Terias, he only supported Ekaros from time to time.

Levon was a smart guy, he did not commit any crime by supporting Ekaros in many ways, his methods were meticulous which left him with no trails.

Ekaros on the other hand was quite young and unwilling to stand down, he was a decade and a few years younger than Terias.

Ekaros had not seen how Terias had suppressed their eldest sibling with great strength and a show of his potential.

Ekaros believed he could take over when Terias died and facilitate control over the province, which would have been possible if they did not have many vulture like nobles gazing upon them.

Ekaros had two sons, and two daughters, all of them were already wed off and some had children.

Of course like every noble marriage, the marriage was an alliance between families.

However, the in laws that Ekaros had, were from Baron families, and the one from Viscount backgrounds did not openly support the fall of Terias.

Ekaros believed that, he himself was the best possible candidate for the position of Viscount in the family.

He was a level two Ki warrior, a good diplomat unlike Terias and he had the potential to reach level three.

He had no trust in his untalented sons, they were barely able to reach level two with enormous resources and had no hunger for growth. They were satisfied with their noble life as they freely squandered the money and lived a lavish life.

He did not have expectations from the daughters side either as it would be very hard for them to reach level two, not to mention whether their husband\'s family would let them to do so.

It would offend the family and might even break the marriage if he put his daughter in position of power instead of the son in law, whom he did not trust

Levon had the duty to look over the resources mined and earned from the revenue and such whereas Ekaros dealt with people, like managing the guards and soldiers of the province. He trained them and was an unofficial law enforcer for the area.

Terias, the Viscount was the one who gave them the permission to handle these services and people, which was actually coming to bite him back into his ass.

"The Viscount must have believed that their lust for power would be satisfied if he gave them the power and the wealth they desired."

Terias believed it was lack of caution that caused the Viscount to be ambushed, it could have been avoided with the carrot and stick method.

"Alas, it worked negatively and tempted them more to covet the power the title of Viscount held."

His brothers were greedy and evil, not only did they not support him in his recovery but they also made plans to poison him and cause his early death. Terias felt pity for the dead Viscount.

"It was fine as long as the Viscount had martial strength to suppress anyone in the opposition, but now that I have his body, I have to be careful, I don\'t possess that strength yet."

The Viscount was fine before being ambushed, none of his people showed their fangs at him but the moment he got ambushed, he had to watch many people change their stance and do their worst.

They were only subservient because of his exaggerated strength, even though he was not an unjust ruler.

John had found evidence of Ekaros being involved with the Earl Ian in shady deals. Ekaros had contacts with many of Ian\'s subordinates, though not very obvious.

To be honest, he was not surprised, the moment he arrived in the Viscount\'s body, he had already made assumptions about him being poisoned and there being an insider wishing harm on him.

What he was surprised at, was the lack of critical evidence against Levon, John could not find anything against Levon. He was given a clean chit.

Terias knew it was impossible for Levon to not know of Ekaros and his motives. He had all the resources under his surveillance, he had to be aware of whatever deal Ekaros was a part of.

Not to mention the support he showed to Ekaros, though rare Levon did help Ekaros at times, pulling him out of dead ends.

John was unable to search info on Levon but he did find things about the lady in his mansion, the third brother\'s daughter in law, her name was Lily.

She was the daughter of one of the Viscount families in the distant place. She was not exactly the daughter, she was just a part of family, with her father being second in line after the Viscount, in the hierarchy.

John searched and found out that her husband was away from the mansion, under the order of Ekaros. Ekaros wanted his first born to handle the family\'s warriors, take military control in his hands.

Due to the immense authority behind Lisa\'s father and her lonely circumstances, she picked a good servant for himself which was coincidentally named John as well.

His butler John has found it hard to speak his own name but refering to another person. So, he named the servant under Lisa \'servant J\' for convenience.

This servant J was together with Lisa for seven months, just a month after Lisa had given birth to her first child, a son.

J was a man with good potential, which Ekaros had handpicked for the safety of his daughter in law as well as his grandson.

Although, J was not protecting Lisa but compensating for the husband.
