Asher considers helping Teo Swig by having him join a Frontier, but Teo explains the limitations and dangers. Despite his reservations, Asher agrees to try and help Teo before his graduation test in two days, though he makes no promises. Teo expresses his gratitude and provides Asher with a way to contact him. Asher then decides to begin his efforts immediately and teleports to his family estate.

Asher appeared in his room. The moment he appeared, he stepped out of his room without wasting time. The moment he entered the hallway, he saw a butler who was just about to walk by. The butler himself seemed stunned to see Asher, after all, everyone knew he was already back at the Star Academy.

"I greet the Tenth Sun." The young man bowed as he greeted him. As he was about to leave, Asher spoke.

"Is my Elder Brother, Malrik, still within the estate, or has he left?" Asher asked, as the butlers and maids always knew which Wargrave was around.

The butler, who was now standing upright, replied, "The First Sun left the estate two days ago, Young Master."

Asher nodded his head and said nothing more. He simply turned around and walked back into his room. With the door closing behind him, he took out the wooden talisman to call Malrik, but as he was about to do that, he paused yet again as an idea struck him.

Since he had reincarnated into this world, he had never gotten the chance to act arrogant and prideful. He had never really gotten the chance to use his family influence to oppress someone and make them bend.

He hadn’t said things like, "Do you know who my Father is?" and "Do you know who I am?" and stuff like that.

Surely Nobles flaunted their authority at every opportunity they got, so why couldn’t he flaunt the authority of the Tenth Sun and use it to oppress a rapist like Viscount Raymond?

He didn’t need Malrik to confront the Viscount; he would confront the man himself and act as arrogant as possible. Of course, it might be cringe, but at least he would cross this off his bucket list.

Imagine reincarnating into one of the most powerful Noble families, if not the most powerful, and not flaunting your name at least once.

’While this isn’t my style, I will at least get to see the Raymond Viscounty, then also act arrogant,’ a smile appeared on his lips.

Of course, he, Asher, didn’t possess the personal power to force a Viscount’s hand, but Asher wasn’t counting on his own personal power, but his family’s power. After all, that was also another form of his personal power, no?

A smirk appeared across Asher’s face the moment he thought of this. He freaking loved the idea.

It would be a breath of fresh air from all the training and fighting he was doing endlessly. Besides, who knew when such an opportunity would come again?

With the idea in place, the wooden talisman vanished into his system inventory. His first thought was to head to the Knight Round building and request Cassandra, the Vice Commander, or even Yveric himself. While he might be going to act arrogant, he wasn’t stupid enough to believe that some people might not make a move on the way.

But the moment he had that thought, an idea occurred to him. Why call Cassandra or Uncle Yveric when Lyra was now overpowered? This was the perfect time to put her to good use and allow her to flaunt her power too.

With a thought, Asher took out a wooden talisman. It was one Lyra had given him, taken from the treasure of that nineteen-thousand-year-old End-Class Monster. He could use it to communicate with Lyra at any time; there was no need to go outside and tell any servant to fetch her.

His Astra Energy flowed into the artifact as he spoke.

"Lyra."

"Yes, Young Master." Her voice came from the wooden talisman immediately, as though she always held her’s in her hands.

"I’m in my room. Meet me," he stated without explaining anything.

"On my way." Her voice came.

Asher cut off the connection the moment he was done speaking. But unknown to him, Lyra was on a mission she had taken the day he left. But Lyra wouldn’t say that; Asher came above all else, so she simply turned around and headed towards the Wargrave Territory at full speed.

In less than five minutes, Asher heard a knock on his door.

"Come in." Asher’s voice came.

Lyra stepped in with calm ease. She had already changed from her combat uniform and back into her maid uniform.

"Young Master, I thought you were at the Star Academy?" she asked as she entered.

Asher, who was seated on the bed, nodded as he spoke, "I was, but I had something to handle, so I had to return." His purple eyes turned towards Lyra.

He proceeded to explain a few things to Lyra, going into detail about Teo Swig’s family situation and what he was going to do there.

"I understand, Young Master," Lyra replied. "I will prepare a carriage," she added, about to leave.

Asher shook his head. "We aren’t using a carriage. Going there by horse would take over a week, and I don’t have that much time." He rose to his feet. "We would be flying there, and when we get to their Territory, they would provide a carriage and a horse for us." His tone was calm.

"I understand." Lyra nodded.

With that, Asher proceeded to change his casual clothing into something more fitting. Since he was going to another Noble Territory, he might as well look the part. Asher stood before a mirror as he looked at himself with quiet satisfaction, the emblem of the Wargrave Ducal Household displayed prominently on his left chest.

As he stood before the mirror, a thought occurred to him. Maybe he should take Teo Swig with him. But after a moment of thought, he gave up on the idea. Although he didn’t say it, there was always the possibility that Viscount Raymond wouldn’t agree to back down.

It was best to just send news. Besides, he planned to bring Teo Swig’s family to the Wargrave estate and have them stay there for a while. And after Teo Swig was done with his graduation exam and ceremony, he could come and take his family. If the boy wanted to move to another Territory to buy a house, the Wargrave Territory had nothing to do with him from that point on.

As for the matter concerning the Wargrave Knight Order and Frontier, there was no need to consider that anymore. Once he brought back Teo Swig’s family with him, the boy could practically do whatever he wanted.

"Lyra," Asher called out.

"Young Master." Lyra stepped forward as she had been within the room; she had been the one to pick out Asher’s clothes.

Without turning towards her, he spoke, "Meet Uncle Zarek and have him give you a picture of Teo Swig’s family members. Once you return, we would leave."

Lyra bowed and left to carry out the task. As for Asher asking for pictures of Teo Swig’s parents, it was simply because he didn’t want to be deceived by Viscount Raymond. Personally, he didn’t know what Teo Swig’s parents looked like, so it was best to be prepared, just in case Viscount Raymond anticipated that and tried to fool him with false family members.

Of course, Asher had considered the fact that he was offending Viscount Raymond. But he had no issue with that. If Viscount Raymond was daring enough to send assassins after him, Asher had no issues with it. The man would just be another name on the list of people who would be gunning for his head.
