14 The future plan and the return to the school

Right in front of him were some simple potato and meat soup on the table, across the table, could be seen Jarvis chewing on his food, enjoying it. Frigs smiled upon this sight and then asked, "Enjoying the food, ain't we?"

Jarvis nodded and continued on eating his food, Frigs slowly grabbed the spoon and started eating the simple food. All of a sudden, he asked, "By the way, Jarvis, how old is your daughter?"

Almost instantly, he got an answer from the man, "No can do"

He was confused upon the man's words and wanted to ask a question, "Wha-"

Before he could even finish his words, Jarvis cut him off and said, "The answer is still no. Even if you give me a country, I still won't let you mate with my daughter. Besides, what is the good of me, a once-homeless man and a bandit, being the father-in-law of a rich noble family?"

Frigs giggled and jokingly said, "Ahahahaha! I got your point now! You thought I was asking for your approval for me to mate your daughter?"

Jarvis raised one of his eyebrows. The table has turned, and it seems that he was the one confused at this moment. Slowly but surely, with the confusion still on his face, he nodded. Frigs then continued his words, "You were wrong, I was about to ask something to you, about this empire"

Jarvis chuckled, "My bad! Sorry. By the way, don't be so ambitious, almost 50 years of my life, I have known so many ambitious men that fell from the top because of their ambition. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but if you don't have anything to support it, it would just be some random bullsh1t"

Frigs placed a serious face and dropped his spoon to the bowl. Seeing this, Jarvis also became serious, "You aren't joking, kid?"

Frigs shook his head and said to him, "I wanted to change this empire. A wise man once said, 'nothing lasts forever'. Do you think I'm not aware of what is going on in the empire? Corruption and all other shenanigans"

Jarvis sighed, "Well, that is true, only natural for corruption to take place once the land became peaceful like this… Anyway, what you want me to do? Gather some homeless man and start a rebellion?"

Frigs shook his head and went silent for a few seconds. He was unsure of something, "I… am… okay, ignore that earlier. Now I'm sure on what for you to do. Have you heard of beggar sect? Using homeless men in all the cities to gather information while giving them food and accommodation"

(Beggar sect is a fictional martial arts sect, but since there's no martial art in the world where Frigs/Edward are currently in, let's call it beggar… sect, I'm not creative in name, sorry)

Jarvis slowly nodded, then asked calmly, "So you want me to set up a beggar sect?"

Frigs nodded, but the man refused by shaking his head, "Edward, do you even listen to what I said earlier when you just woke up after I knocked you out? I want to live peacefully in this village, with my daughter…"

Frigs sighed, but he tried to convince the man once again, "Do you think there's no one in this village that wouldn't call the imperial prosecutor or some guard to capture you? Even a kid might be a danger to you!"

Jarvis was silenced. He opened his mouth but seemed unsure of what to say. The man sighed and gave in to Frigs's words, "You are right… now I fear for the safety of my daughter… So, what do you want me to do? Bring her with me while I make this beggar sect?"

Frigs slowly showed his smile to the man and picked up his spoon once again, "I will take care of your daughter, maybe even send her to my father's mansion, so you don't need to worry"

The room suddenly became silent, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of Frigs chewing and eating his food. Jarvis sighed and nodded to his plan, "Alright, but I want to deliver my daughter personally to the place. By the way, my daughter is 15-year-old"

Frigs nodded, "Just say my name, Edward, if you see a butler with white hair and with his eyes almost closed all the time, just call him. His name is Alfred, say that I wanted you to do the plan and give your daughter to his care, he will surely treat her like a nobleman!"

Jarvis giggled.

…

1 and a half month later.

Trot

Riding on the horses they got from the villagers, Frigs and Louis departed from the village with a big smile on their face, "We really had a great time in the village! We arrived with the look of the villager, cautious with us and left with them having a big smile on their face!"

Louis smiled, "True, you are good a striking deal, even with a nobleman! I was really disappointed when some careless and stupid-looking person. But was amazed at your capabilities! Sir Jiok really chose a great, outstanding and knowledgeable man this time!"

Frigs smirked proudly, "Alright, there's about 5 days in our journey, buckle up!"

…

5 days later

They arrived at the yard of the castle, just getting off of their horse when they saw a carriage arriving. Louis whispered to Frigs's ear, "That must be them, the rich spoiled kids!"

Frigs directed his eyes toward them, just coming out of their carriage with a smile on their face while talking to each other. He smirked, 'I bet they got some easy town and their parents sent them a ton of money!'

He was just about to head toward the small stable of the castle when he heard one of the kid, shouting toward him, "Hey! Weak boy from Mercia! Come here, you chicken!"

Frigs turned around and saw the boy that shouted his name waiting for him with a sh1t-eating smug on his face.
