System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 954 - 285: Waging War (10,000 Words) (3)

The objective was to bolster the territory's forces and fortify its military might by increasing the number of soldiers.

More well-drilled troops were essential to confront and overcome unforeseen perils!

Naturally.

This was merely a preliminary consideration for the moment.

All endeavors would need to await the completion of the Blacksmith Workshop's production of the remaining thousand sets of Composite Armor.

While the blast furnace of the Blacksmith Workshop underwent an upgrade to a Double-chamber Reflector Furnace and the Blacksmith Apprentices took a well-deserved rest.

The next course of action involved recruiting and selecting soldiers.

At this juncture.

The faint sound of approaching footsteps echoed from a distance.

Halting a short distance away, a soft announcement was made.

"Master, the hot water is prepared; you may now begin your bath."

Recognizing the familiar voice, Lynn turned his head.

Janet was positioned below the Lord's throne platform, her body slightly inclined.

Perhaps due to the somewhat low neckline of Janet's robe and her bent posture.

A glimpse of pale skin was directly presented to Lynn's view.

Responding to her, Lynn rose from the Lord's throne and proceeded towards the adjacent private room.

As he passed by Janet, there was no need for him to signal.

Janet spoke first, "Master, would you like Janet to give you a massage?"

Lynn's eyebrows rose slightly upon hearing Janet's soft, alluring words, and he replied.

"Yes, please do."

Janet clarified, "Very well, Master. I shall enter in ten minutes, as usual."

Lynn nodded and continued into the private room.

He couldn't help but inwardly reflect.

Janet's progression from initial resistance, to reluctant compliance, then shyness, and now to her proactive offer.

It was evident.

Through Lynn's guidance, she had become accustomed to her role.

Despite the destruction of Frank Manor, the crushing of Janet's aspirations, and the occupation of her person.

She now harbored no internal resistance.

Habit, indeed, wielded a formidable influence.

After a ten-minute wait at the door, Janet knocked on the private room's double wooden doors.

Following the prior understanding with Lynn, no verbal prompt was needed from him.

She gently pushed the door open just enough to create an entrance and stepped inside.

The moment she closed the door behind her.

A waft of warm, delicately scented steam met Janet's senses.

Her heart quickened imperceptibly as she gazed at the man reclining in the distant bathtub.

Yet, she advanced towards the bathtub without any trace of fear or hesitation.

Reaching the edge of the tub.

Upon seeing Lynn with a piece of Linen Cloth resting on his cheek, Janet softly announced.

"Master, Janet is ready to begin the massage now."

Lynn, still submerged in the bath, emitted a sound in affirmation.

Without further ado, Janet dipped her hands into a nearby bucket until they felt thoroughly heated.

She then extended her delicate hands, cradling Lynn's head and beginning the massage with precisely the right amount of pressure.

From her initial lack of proficiency in massage techniques to her current skill.

Only Janet and Lynn were privy to the full extent of her learning journey!

It was entirely through Master Lynn's direct instruction, practicing on her own person, that she acquired these abilities.

After completing the massage for his head, neck, and shoulders.

Janet softly addressed Lynn, "Master, I will now proceed to massage your body and limbs."

Lynn acknowledged her statement.

Hearing Lynn's casual assent, Janet's brow furrowed slightly.

Silently, she positioned herself behind Lynn, moving to the right side of the wooden steps leading into the bathtub.

With a subtle shift of her feet, she removed her Linen Shoes.

Her arms moved with grace as she loosened her robe.

The linen garment slid effortlessly from Janet's smooth, fair shoulders.

Cascading silently to the floor.

Janet lifted her legs slightly, stepping in her exquisite bare feet onto the tub's stairs, and entered the water where Lynn was resting.

The instant she stepped in, the warm water embraced her legs.

As she lowered herself into a squatting position, the hot water rose past her legs, her hips...

Ultimately, covering only the lower half of her full, rounded chest.

The gentle ripples within the bathtub rendered the upper portion barely visible.

Even though her physical self had long been exposed to Lynn without reservation.

However.

On each such occasion, she still found herself unable to quell a burgeoning nervousness.

Once she had settled, Janet immediately looked up at Lynn, her eyes widening in surprise.

The Linen Cloth that had been warming on Lynn's face had somehow fallen away, now floating in the bathtub.

Lynn's deep gaze was openly fixed upon her form.

This implied.

From the moment she stepped into the bathtub and slowly crouched down, every movement had been fully observed by Lynn.

Janet could distinctly feel her face flushing with heat.

A flicker of amusement crossed Lynn's eyes as he observed Janet's reaction.

"Janet, you may commence the massage now."

Janet, having just regained her composure, responded, "Yes, Master. Commencing now."

She extended her hands, gently taking Lynn's right hand and beginning to massage his palm.

Janet's eyebrows began to knit together as her attempts became more persistent.

Lynn possessed a palm that was both long and strong, yet elegantly thin.
