Chapter 4 - Future Preparation

Edgar lie on his bed after an exhausting day and think back to everything just happened so far. It still crazy no wonder how He think about it. On a hot day in NYC, He died on the way to pick up a video game and then got transported into this say game's world. Not only that, He became the villain!

"Aaah, this is too much!", he complained.

"Usually when these type of thing happened to you, you're suppose to be the protagonist! Damn, why a cannon fodder villain?! Heck being a commoner is better this!"

Slowly the memories of Edgar Von Valvford merged with his's and he was able to gasp the current situation.

(After I was sent here, father said I am only allow to go back to the capital if I developed this territory into a prosperous one. I think I will do that, get me away from Roy, the further the better. Ok, let get to work, though I have no prior experience in governing but my modern education should serve me fine."

With a goal in mind, he felt more motivated. Apparently the previous Edgar was a slothful person, he will leave everything regarding the development of his territory to Frederick and just eats and drinks all days. He also had a bad reputation with the females which is why no women will dare to work as a maid in his household. As for Frederick, he is a long time servant of his family and his father trust him enough to look after him.

Edgar went to the study-room and summoned Frederick there.

"How may I help you milord?"

"Oh Frederick enough with the formally, when I was a child you used to just call me Edgar. I much prefer you calling me that."

Frederick looked at Edgar with a surprised face before nodding with a smile.

(He seem a little different than before?)

Frederick continues to observe Edgar as if he suddenly change to an another person.

"Frederick, please report to me about current status of development of our territory."

"Development?"

"Yes, what wrong?"

"No, it just that you usually never bother with these kind of stuff. While I excel in serving my master, how to develop a territory is out of my comfort zone. Though I still try my best to help you."

"Thank you Frederick."

(He actually thanked me? How long since I actually felt this much closeness with him?)

Frederick continue to be surprised with every words coming out of Edgar's mouth. In his youth, Edgar is a kind little boy. But due to negligent from his father, Frederick's master, he had turned rebellious and then to the current him. For this, Frederick partially blamed himself as well.

"The Western Frontier, which we currently are is a fairly remote place far west to the Imperial Thrussian Empire. It only in these recent years did the Empire decided to develop this place. Mainly to guard against the Island nation of The Alliance Kingdom which is just separated from us by the sea and also against the Third Republic of Loland. The Republic directly bordered us."

A imperial empire, a island kingdom and a republic west to the empire. If you can't figure it out, yes they are the counterpart to Great Britain, Imperial Germany and the Third French Republic on Earth. The developer took inspiration from them.

"As for us, the Town of Asberg is currently under our judiciary and...."

Hours and hours fly by as Edgar and Frederick continues their discussion.

"(Yawn) I think this much is good enough for today. Let continue tomorrow."

"Yes milor- Edgar. I will blow out the candles, good night."

"You as well."

(Finally some time for rest, never had I been this tried before.)

The next morning comes.

"Your breakfast is ready after you finish washing your face and teeth, Edgar."

Hygiene is supposedly important in this world.

Edgar hurried to the dinning room.

"Sausage and potato, a glass of milk..."

(I really wish Anna's father will agree to my offer. In the memories, this is pretty much the only breakfast items here.)

"For today, let us go to the town.", he said to Frederick while eating.

"I will prepare the carriage."

Leaving the mansion for the first time is pretty exciting for Edgar. He wanna go out more and see the world. The route is really bumpy and he will really need to get used to riding in horse carriage soon.

"We have arrived.", Frederick opened the carriage's door for Edgar.

He step out of carriage and take a look at Asberg, a small size town. It is estimated the population to be no more than two thousand people. As Edgar and Frederick continue down the plaza they

saw a familiar face.

"Hehe, that we saw you enter that useless lord's home yesterday. Did he slept you? You refused my advances so many time but it seem like you aren't so different from those other women that I played with."

"Stop bothering me!"

Surrounded by four men including the ones talking vulgarly to her. She can't escape from the situation. The bystanders only watch a bit while feeling bad for Anna but continue with their business.

"How much did he paid you? Tell me, I can give you twice as much."

"No, I haven't done any thing with him!"

"Whatever, grab her and bring it with us."

Just when one man was about to touch her, Edgar step out.

"You four! Stop!"
