All Would study at aslmlclwl university with ichabod being the only one that was interested in the governor position as his sister would oversee operations but for his brother decided to help out in foreign affairs to spread the little bird influence to other nations. Overtime ichabod became well-known for his intelligence and skills in combat, even the alll family award with the aslmlclwl medal the highest reward that only a few have achieved. One day when ichabod was walking down the street to the aslmlclwl conference to vote on laws for people while on the way a kid ran by stealing a platinum coin from his pockets then walked around an alleyway catching the kid taking the platinum coin and giving him a gold coin instead. Continuing on the conference room wondering if the kid family would be ok with a gold coin as he entered the conference room, isismot alll was waiting looking at her sandena jewelry which the family his no problem buying at the high price.

Upon entering the note atmosphere was tense members of the musket, wheel, and scythe family representative where all accounted while isismot what back to her room to read a book, Fuximot alll picking up the list of laws to pass or leave. The first one on the list was "increase the amount of money the people of little bird can carrey at any time to 18 gold, 100 silver, 200 bronze coins" with three voting on it passing it, next on the list "increase the amount of money that the people can keep in their homes to 150 gold, 500 silver, 1000 bronze coins'' with three voting on it passing it.

After the conference ended ichabod started walking back home until riot blocking the shortest way so to avoid the riots taking a longer route which pestered him but had little choice as the political climate has become unstable after ichabod father killed the leader of the underground resistance group making him a hero to the alll family but as to the people of little bird not to all. While making his way through the old part of the market district then finds a dead body on the street with morbid curiosity getting the best of him to go look but was shocked that the kid from earlier with both his hands cut off causing ichabod to feel like he failed the kid.

When ichabod finally got home could not let go of the sinking feeling of shame in his heart go to rest as he returned to his studies with a strange voice in start talking "looking behind will get what your aching heart desires" upon looking behind finds a strange box, walking to it a feeling like something about it was nostalgic. Opening the box to find a letter addressed to nobody, finding it strange read it to maybe got an idea "go to Sleepy hollow their you will find what you need in life, when in jeopardy your so companion and friend be there by your side, a good maiden will help your blackest times" wondering on what it means got to sleepy hollow. Go his bookshelf for a map of local towns which a teacher given him for doing favor and saw sleepy hollow marked on the map so makes preparation tomorrow trip, in the morning his father asking where "what destination delighted you enough to what to go to a town" with ichabod responding "to convert their them to the side of little bird of course" the father looking proud wishing him luck on journey. After three weeks on the dry and dusty dirt road, ichabod arrives at Sleepy hollow with everyone staring at he in confusion wondering why a noble form little bird would ever what to go or let alone be interested in a town of farmers and tailor as he continued noticed that a kid was looking at a book thinking to himself that maybe in this town there would be some interesting books. When the kid asked "what book you're reading" but to his shock said she doesn't know how to read with the mayor walking to him to inform ichabod there no school in this town unless he wants to convert what was originally going to be weapon storage with an immediately accepted offer to become a teacher.

While the mayor was taking him to the weapon talking about a weapon shipment never arrived with ichabod saying "maybe the wheel family had something to do with it because they sometimes buy stuff they do not need" with the mayor intrigued on how a family can be so greedy. When getting to the weapon storage noticed horseshoe nailed to the door with the mayor wishing him luck on the cleaning since no one like the little bird people while he was walking away ichabod what inside to see cobwebs, rats, and even a dark bird was nesting in there, seeing as nobody ever decided to uses in years for good reason. As he was about to start cleaning he heard a knock on the door to his surprise that the attractive lady offered to help clean the mess then while the two were making it less terrifying for children, the attractive lady revealed that she was actually mayor's daughter Jessica lettice. Jessica show appreciation toward ichabod and treses his jew nose, remarking on how strange it is to see a jew born into nobility as the resistance group was killed off in that horrendous city with him responding "I heard that they were just extremist group so was I lied to, were they just trying gives people freedom" "yes they been doing that for years, I'll let you borrow the book" later that night they finished. Since it late jessica made a quick bed for them in the basement because they can be dangerous with bandit groups kidnapped women exclusively at night, ichabod goes to grab a book from his wagon to read before going to sleep, jessica saw the book recognized it asking "how do the rich get that hands on such rare books because some folks risk their lives trying to acquire such works'' with him responded, "It's not uncommon for alll family to purchased them from travelers to be plese in the aslmlclwl library to safely stored for generations'' after the two talked for a while they what to sleep.

In the morning they started moving around furniture to make the storage look more friendly for the kids to have fun learning, jessica ask "the townsfolk believe that the people in little bird only have schools for the rich is that true or partially" ichabod answering "the poor only have the right to language, writing and business but for the rich they have the right to kind of class like weapon combat, hand to hand combat, blacksmithing, geography, carpenting, and architecture also it a rare sight to see the poor in rich classes" with her fascinated. After finishing putting up books jessica kissed ichabod before returning her farmhouse while ichabod goes to the mayors to inform him that the school was ready with the mayor surprised that a noble from little bird wouldn't leave after seeing how dirty it was and congratulate him on being the first and will inform the rest of the town then wish him luck on gaining the townsfolk trust. So in the next morning ichabod was excited to see how many students he would get on the first day, saw three coming to the school as he greeted them with open arms and started the lessons while the students where have fun learning math, history, and art after the first day more kids showed up with parents seeing their kids happier, in three months, people in the town started to warm up to the idea of noble being there in Sleepy Hollow.
