After Howard informed Flandre about the situation, Flandre showed little concern, simply advising, "Don't hurt Kaido."
With Windhaven Village continuing its regular payments, Howard decided not to intervene further.
During the morning meeting, Howard shared the news with Portia, who couldn't help but laugh incessantly.
Portia ridiculed Golan, the Knight Squire, for his soft heart; having the upper hand, yet failing to seize the opponent's title.
Howard smiled silently in response.
Also present was Alonso, who commented, "It's for the best, Kaido has a terrible temper."
Howard nodded in agreement, finding truth in Alonso's words.
Hof, who had been patiently observing the situation for a month, finally decided it was time to make a move.
However, all his actions were meticulously recorded by Portia's network of spies and reported to Howard.
