No more spies!

Connor bowed to him as he entered the remote area, basically the alley of the school at the moment. The duke's son stood there, "Why are you asking me to come here?"

Frigs smiled as he responded, "Well, nothing to be honest, but I have a proposal for you,"

He thought to himself, 'Alright Frigs, you thought about this since last night. By recruiting him, you will get a duke's support of your army'

The duke's son stared cockily at Frigs, one hand on waist and one brow raised, "What proposal? Can you satisfy me with it, though?"

Frigs smiled, his eyes move ever so slightly toward the hooded figure, noticing his hand slowly and slightly moving, "Well, the proposal is that you become one of the officers under me in my future army,"

The duke's son was surprised. His mouth opened slightly, then he coughed, regaining his composure, "Well, that's actually a big matter to discuss with my family. What do I get in return though?"

Frigs sighed with a smile on his face, "Glory, gold, greatness. By the time you are in your sixties, I will be no more, but the tale of our greatness shall be sung in the taverns and pubs across the countries,"

The duke's son chuckled, "That's promises, what if I don't get what you promised though?"

Frigs raised one of his brows and smiled cockily, "Well, that's up to your skill,"

The duke's son directed his view toward the grounds, not giving any responses for a few seconds. He was sweating at the moment and Frigs knew that the negotiation wasn't going well.

It's time, Frigs pulled out his trump card, "How about this last thing I can offer you, its called freedom."

He slowly reached for his small bottle containing steel powder as the duke's son responded confusedly, "Freedom?"

Frigs nodded, slowly opening the cap of the small glass bottle, "Yea, freedom, I will use my house influence so that you have no more spy planted to you,"

At that exact moment, the hooded figure lunged forward right at Frigs, Connor drew out his sword upon seeing this. But Frigs's magic was faster, a steel sword was formed right in front of Frigs, pointing toward the hooded figure's torso.

More steel swords were formed as the hooded figure stopped in the middle of his attack, noticing the steel swords aiming for his torso. Frigs shouted, "You, hooded figure, or should I call spy. If you move, I'll make sure at least one of my swords struck you,"

The figure nodded as he slowly backed down, Frigs smirked, "I knew this was going to happen!"

The duke's son was sweating heavily at the moment. He looked toward the hooded figure and then toward Frigs. Frigs continued smirking as he said, "Hey you, golden hair boy, come follow me!"

Hesitantly, the duke's son made his way toward Frigs's side as he said to the hooded figure, "Spy, I don't care what you will report to anybody that planted you on this boy. But I believe that whoever they are, will stop once I sent a message to my house!"

The three of them turned around, the swords that were aiming toward the figure were flying in a circle motion, protecting the group. Frigs made some small talk, "Hey, I'm Edward"

The duke's son answered, slightly trembling, "I'm Henry…"

Frigs smiled and said to Connor, "Hey Connor, you still have some days left until the end of the holiday, right? Mind delivering a message to my house?"

Connor nodded while smiling, "As you wish my lord, what is it?"

Frigs chuckled, "Don't call me that, Connor,"

Then he turned his attention toward Henry, "Henry, what is your noble house?"

Henry answered, "House of Elmot,"

Frigs turned to Connor once again, "Alright, here's the message Connor, 'To my beloved dad, from Edward Mercia, your adopted son. I'm in need of some help right now. Tell whoever sending spy to my friend, Henry of house Elmot, to stop' and there it is, I'll give you something later, Connor!"

Connor smiled and nodded, then ran forward, leaving Frigs and Henry alone, together. Frigs then said to Henry, "Henry, return to your room, lock the windows and door so that the spy can't enter,"

Henry stopped at his track, Frigs continued forward, steel sword flying around him, turned into steel dust and made its way toward Frigs's small glass bottle as he waved his hands up in the air.

…

Tomorrow

Frigs woke up, refreshed after what happened yesterday and after practising magic all day. As he yawned and began stretching his arm, Louis said to him, while still focused on his book, "Hey Frigs, Connor said that he sent the message and your father has talked with the house of Elmot"

Frigs smiled, "Alright, thanks, Louis… I wonder how much days we have left in the holiday…"

Louis answered shortly after, "5 days, now go practice your magic,"

Frigs jokingly chuckled as he made his way toward his wardrobe. Not long after, he was ready for that day's activity and left his room. Right in front of him, he was greeted by the sight of Henry bowing toward him.

Henry shouted, "Thank you, my lord!"

Frigs placed his hands on Henry's shoulder and straighten him up, "Don't say that out loud. Anyway, I believe that we have finished our problem with the spy?"

Henry nodded, "Yes, he vanished all of a sudden without any messages for me. It seems that your message for your father worked, sir!"

Frigs chuckled, "Alright, you don't need to call me sir or anything, just call me Edward. It's not like I saved your life over a dozen times!"

Henry nodded and smiled, Frigs slightly smiled at him as he passed through the duke's son, saying, "I'll excuse myself from here. Meet Connor and ask everything you want to know about me from him later. Or you can just find me in the woods near the school building,"

Henry's eyes became teary. The duke's son rubbed his eyes and nodded in happiness.
