Jesco's John woke up a lot earlier today than usual.

He wasn't the uninformed country knight, he was the niece of the recently deceased Baron Brad's mother's mother, and had followed the late Baron on three battlefields - not the kind of brawls with his neighbors over land, serfs, and prey, but a real battlefield, and he had fought with the Mercians, the Germans, and the horrors brought by the northerners, and

Their bloody and bizarre pagan rituals, in Brad, he considered himself a well-informed figure.

However, what happened yesterday shook him.

The Baroness is crazy.

At first it was just a rumor of ear-biting among the servants, but then they all saw it with their own eyes, at dinner.

John of Jescoe, Paul of Bria, and Ned of Noria, they all met.

The baron's domain consisted of two hundred inhabitants, half of whom were serfs, half of whom were freemen and men inferior to serfs, scattered across six villages, under the protection of six knights under the baron.

A standard knight's domain is a five-family serf territory, and in practice, there are both knights with only one serf share, and knights with a territory large enough to house twenty-four serfs, and the knights in Barony Brad's territory are about the same size as the standard.

Because they had made an oath to be a courtier, because the lord needed to have enough guests with status, and because they could get some benefits from time to time by being closer to the lord's table, the knights spent most of their time in the baron's castle.

So, almost immediately, they discovered the baroness's anomaly.

She's crazy.

Or become an idiot.

Yesterday was fine.

Jesko's John wondered how it would affect him.

A mad lord...... Could it be that the new priest is a troublemaker, I heard that by reading the holy book upside down, you can do some incredible things......

It was not a wise idea to denounce it, and the priest would be able to deny the accusation by swearing an oath to the holy book, and at that point he would probably be put on the gallows for falsely accusing the clergy.

Besides, there is no evidence that the priest did it, but he was sent by His Honourable Bishop.

Besides, what does this matter have to do with me?

John of Jesco knew that there had been mad kings and mad queens, and no matter how much harm they had done to their kingdom, as long as they did not touch the interests of the aristocratic class and the church, they all spent their days on the throne and buried them in the royal family's graveyard to sleep with their ancestors.

Baroness Brad, she was a nobleman, that is, she had many powerful relatives, not those serfs who could be dragged and burned because they did not kneel in time or bow one less time.

There was once a nun from a royal family, because of dissatisfaction, led a crowd to attack the convent under the protection of the bishop, beating the abbot in public, and the final punishment was only repentance in front of the bishop.

Well, Baroness Brad, who is a nobleman, even if she beats the priest in public...... She could still continue to be her Baroness Brad.

Continue to be Lord of John of Jesco.

John of Jesco must remain loyal to her.

Once this relationship is understood, the reasoning that follows is easy.

"If her madness does not interfere with the reward that the Brad family has promised me, I will continue to swear allegiance according to the oath, and if her madness makes her think that she can not compensate my allegiance accordingly, I will take my sons to my uncle in Galford, where there is a threat from the Mercians, and there is a need for manpower, and he knows what I am capable of, and he will take us in."

John of Jesco made his decision.

He showed up at the breakfast table on time.

Paul of Bria and Ned of Noria also showed up at the breakfast table on time.

It seems that they all made the same decision.

It was the Baroness who was late.

Luo Yi came to the breakfast table with blank eyes.

She had just experienced the biggest mental blow since the time crossing.
