Ascendance of a Bookworm

The beginning of the winter social world

I can see the signs of winter getting closer and closer. The wind began to sting my skin cold, and even with the fireplace in use, it became a hard season to leave the morning futon.

One carriage after another has arrived here lately to the aristocratic district, knocking around the temple gate and entering the aristocratic district from the aristocratic gate is visible through the window. A nobleman after the Fall Harvest Festival is traveling to the aristocratic district for the winter social world.

I was in the orphan dean's office last year so I didn't notice at all, but the windows in the temple dean's office show a good view of the aristocratic gate.

"Hey, Fran. I wonder what my plans are? When are you headed to the castle, Chief Cleric?

"Lady Rosemaine will not move her residence to the castle until after the winter baptism ceremony"

When Fran said so, Zahm, who had come to convey the communication from the clergyman, also nodded lightly.

"It's hard to travel back and forth between the aristocratic city and the temple in the snow. Please love yourself."

Zahm has decided to be my sidekick when the clergy's bloody instruction by the chief clergyman comes to an end. I was the chief cleric and pulled it out.

He seemed to be helping Fran out a little bit with his work when he still brought word from the clergyman, and Fran says it would be a big help if Zahm came as a sidekick.

Gill is mostly in the workshop during the day, so for Fran, who worked in a room with a high female rate, it seems extraordinary to be able to have a same-sex colleague who can talk a little.

Besides working in the temple, the chief clergyman is injecting the leisure time he was born when he stopped going to the castle with the Knights into the education of blue and gray clerics. "If you don't want to serve the Chief Cleric, you'll be top notch," says a rumored bloodthirsty instruction among gray clerics.

The chief cleric is a really good working man, and as soon as he stopped going to the castle, he seemed to have created room. The chief cleric who has recently ceased to rely on medication is really lively. Whatever challenges I'm going to give you next, I think I'll enjoy creating new ones.

Kanfel and Fritak, whom I have recommended, are tearful about bloodthirsty instruction, but work hard to improve their cost of living because they pay for their work at the same time as they accomplish their assignments. At last, their side service is also forged together.

Oh, my God, the chief cleric isn't the only one who's coaching the bloodthirsty. The chief clergyman's service is united in a backward education. Comfortable.

And in order to confront the common enemy of the chief clergyman, Kanfel and Fritak also seem to have deepened their bond of subordination with their side service, and it is smiling to see their subordinates united in tackling the challenge.

By the way, if you look smiling, be careful because challenges come down to me as well.

"Dear Rosemaine, we have a delivery today from the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce"

Fran glanced at me and said so. I leak a grin, uh-huh. Yes, today is the day that Thuri and her mother come to deliver hair decorations for the winter revelations.

Until the bell of 5 rings, we have to practice the prayer words and precautions of the winter baptismal ceremony, but after that, it is delivered in the hidden room. I also prepared souvenirs for Thuri and Kamil this time, so I can't help but look forward to it.

"Dear Rosemayne, may I ask you to move to the orphan dean's office?

The other day, Fritz, who served as a sidekick, came to call. Fritz has dark brown eyes in scorched tea hair and a very calm and serene appearance. A few years ago, he seemed to have had some pretty exhaustive blue cleric side service even in the temple, and rarely became really patient and emotional.

It seems like Fritz will arbitrate even if Gil and Rutz have a little bit of a grudge, and they've been what can be described as strength under the edge in the workshop for a long time.

Fritz goes to the workshop every day with Gil, even though he has been sidelined, so I will only face to face about the morning and the time of the report before bed. Moreover, he is the type of gray cleric pervaded by the legend of the Virgin, and when he faces me, he seems very nervous, with no smile or tone.

"Monica, Fritz, watch your walking speed"

"Yes, Fran."

As soon as I arrived in the orphan dean's office, Gil, who was picking everyone up at the gate, brought Rutz, his mother and Touri.

"Thank you for waiting, Master Rosemaine"

"I'll talk to you there."

When I urged them to go to the hiding room, and saw Darmuel and Gill, they nodded lightly, as they had understood. Brigitte takes a step back, and the other sides serve equally softly.

After entering the concealed room and Patali and the door closed, Lutz placed a crate on the table with a polite trick.

"This is what you ordered. Please make sure."

Inside the crate that Rutz had opened, there was a candlestick as ordered. The large red flowers are laced together like bouquets and decorated with white bird feathers. It is a hair decoration that matches the red and white costumes that are the precious colors of winter.

Winter costumes are its color scheme, so I tried to align them. When I first saw the red based costume with fur on my wrist and neck to warm it up, I honestly wondered if it was Santa. However, I could not say to Richarda, who had chosen the design with a groom, that "the colour scheme is a bit......" Anyway, I just told you, no one will understand.

"You're right on order.... Would you like to insert it?

"Yes, sir."

I asked my mother to insert a tweezer, "Does it look good on you?," he asked, shaking his head gently, and Tulli grabbed his fist and said, "Of course! I said." Afterwards, say it again like a hack.

"... well suited"

"It's made by Touri, so it suits you, naturally."

And I laughed, and Tulli narrowed his eyes, saying, Right?

"Dear Rosemayne, I was very pleased that my husband was appointed escort to Hasse. Travel expenses are handed out, so there's a lot of competition among the soldiers at the gate."

"The food we ate at the temple was delicious," he said.

I hear from my mother and Thuri, I also loosen my cheeks and narrow my eyes to my father's story.

"I'm glad you're happy, and so am I. We will return the priests to Hasse again in the spring, so we would like to ask for an escort at that time."

I talked about my father, I talked about the kids in the orphanage, and I talked about Camille's growth. Kamil seems to be struggling to grab hold of herself now. In my memory, I am amazed at the speed of growth, because the only thing I remember is how I sleep and how hugged I am across the temple door.

But I heard Dirk from the orphanage took his first step the other day, so it's also natural that Camill is growing.

"If you can grab it and throw it, you might want to make a round ball with a bell in it with a cloth....... Gil"

"Is this it, Master Rosemaine?"

I put the crate Gil had in my hand on the table and opened the lid. There's a souvenir for Thuri and Camille.

I take out the ball of cloth I made with Delia and Vilma and strike it lightly on the table with a ton. Then the bell sounded chillin 'chillin'.

"You'll enjoy this because when you throw it, it makes noise, and it's a cloth, so it won't hurt to hit anyone else, will it? Why don't you use this as an example and make some for him?

If you haven't used it, the bell must still be at home. If I gave it to Kamil in the form of "go ahead and set an example," my mother perceived my intentions and received it.

"Then I give this to Thuri as a thank you for the hair decorations. Please keep it up."

That is what I said and gave Tulli the third part of the picture book. Pinch the letter between them.

Watching Touri put a ball of picture books and cloth in her nostalgic tote bag, she noticed her mother standing up and staring at me.

My mother frowned worryingly holding my stretched hand and narrowed her eyes.

"The cold has been a tough season. Be careful not to get fever or fall asleep for long."

"Yes, please love yourselves."

Then, after the fall mitzvah, I finished the winter baptismal ceremony when it started snowing. If Camille catches a cold, she'll be in trouble, so I told her not to come. I am satisfied because Rutz told me that Camill was vibrantly wielding a ball of cloth.

At the end of the winter baptism ceremony, the blue priest in the temple is informed of what needs to be done during his absence. Kanfel and Fritak had been piled up with challenges, and he was breathtaking, but he couldn't resist the clergyman's smile and took it on.

The day has come to head to the castle for the winter social world.

Ella and Rosina get into the carriage, and I look back at the side service that is coming to drop me off before I get into the carriage.

"Gill, Fritz. Regards about the orphanage. Make every effort to print, especially in winter."

"Good luck, Mr. Rosemayne, uh, Agiu"

I respond with a smile to Gil's encouragement.

"Lady Rosemayne should put physical control first and be careful not to force her to do so."

"Thank you, Fran. Take care of yourselves."

Next to the side I was interacting with, the clergyman had also set out detailed precautions for his side service.

"I leave it up to Kanfel and Fritak to prepare for the ritual of service, but I asked for an assistant"

"Yes, sir."

At some point, book boards are also used among the side services of the clergyman. Zahm asked Fran to order it from Lutz through Gill, apparently the first one. Now it seems to be a must have, not just for us, but also for the clergyman and Kanfel and Fritak's side service.

"Okay, I'll go"

"We look forward to your return soon"

On the day the snow began to fall on Aerenfest, I moved my residence from the temple to the castle.

"Welcome back, Princess Rosemaine. And welcome, Master Ferdinand."

Norberto, the butler, welcomed me and led me to the waiting room closest to the northern detachment. There awaits Richarda, a slow cup of tea, where winter plans are taught to me and the Cleric Chief.

"There will be a baptismal ceremony on Saturday in three days"

They say the winter baptism ceremony marks the beginning of the social season. And then there's the revelation of the kids who finished their baptism this year. As all the nobles gather, they are introduced to children who join the nobility.

"... Baptism? Could I do it?

"No, this winter's baptism ceremony is a combination of disclosures, so Rosemayne will have my baptism ceremony to attend the disclosures. You'll do it next year, so take a good look."

"Yes."

This year, the Chief Cleric will perform a baptismal ceremony on behalf of the Temple Chief. Oh, when the illustration sold, I thought I could make a lot of money, and the clergyman stunned me.

"Rosemaine, you look like you're thinking about something else."

"You can't run it on thought, so it doesn't make sense. Ha."

I tried to put a little illustration in the accounting report for the Fesspiel concert, but it was rejected immediately, and I asked if I could distribute it without selling it, and I was pissed off at the fool.

"Princess, don't think extra and listen to this story. In the revelation there will be a musical service to the gods in the hope of previous growth and future protection. The order is set from the lowest of the aristocracy to the higher."

"Then I am before Brother Wilfried."

Nobility takes care of sequence. My lord's real son, tentatively, will be treated less than Wilfried, who is said to be his heir.

That is why Richarda shook his head loosely, though he put it out in his mouth that I would be the first in the order of the revelations.

"No, in order to inform you that Master Rosemayne has been adopted, the order is last. Noblemen who were not at the princess's summer baptism will gather in winter."

"Well, that's better"

"Why? It wouldn't be nice to lose order, would it?

It was strange that the chief priest nodded at Richarda's words, and I leaned my neck.

"My adopted daughters are introduced to Jianmae. And there is no rank in the Lord's Son before the building. Because we haven't decided on a legacy yet."

"But it's not the same for an adopted daughter and a child, is it?

"So, aside from the real deal. It's better to finish before Rosemayne, so Vilfleet doesn't have to be inferior. Isn't that right, Richarda?

Richarda exhaled gently and nodded.

"Wilfried Boy has shown some eye-catching growth, too, because even a princess and a boy who hasn't had a season's worth of effort for years will obviously have an advantage or disadvantage. The princess is the last one."

"Okay."

After hearing from Richarda about his role in the Baptism Ceremony and Revelation, the Chief Cleric informs Richarda of his plans for the Temple's service ceremony.

"It's been a long time since you went back and forth between the temple and the castle."

"Schedule Rosemaine's health as a top priority. There will be many requests for visits, but I'll leave it to Richarda's extraction"

"Yes, sir, Ferdinand Boy."

After finishing the discussion, the chief cleric takes a seat when he returns to his home in the aristocratic district. When I thought I was going home as it was, I started making it hard and giving precautions.

"Keep your medicine with Richarda, but be careful with your physical condition. Do not enter the library room and allow the book to be transported to the room. To not speak directly with an unknown nobleman and to leave the response to the side service. Then..."

"Boy, I'll tell you more than that, little by little, so leave it at that. I've said too much at once, but it's not in the princess's head."

"Speaking of which, you have someone else here to watch out for besides me," the chief shrugged as Richarda struck his hand with pampering and stopped the novel, leaving the room.

Meetings with the Chief Cleric will be at the Baptist ceremony in three days. It's going to be quiet for a while without the Cleric Chief's novel.

Once I changed in my room, I was to go and see how Vilfleet was doing. It's Richarda's suggestion.

"Wilfried Boy has also grown a lot in the short term, but that makes me a little better at it, and I tend to be a little lazy again these days."

Because you really look a lot like Master Zilvester, Richarda had a complicated grin that seemed troubled, well, nostalgic.

"Brother Wilfried, did you go a long way? May I take a look at the table of assignments?

"Look, here it is. What do you say, I'm amazing?

Heh heh, and I'm going to give you a table so you can be good at it. I could see at a glance that I had made a lot of effort because the table was almost smeared.

At the same time, the alarm that "if we can get this far, we'll be fine" appears clear because we see the goal. Maybe if we could get this far, it would be enough, and I praised them around. From those who know Vilfleet so far, it may be enough, but this assignment table is minimal as a son of a lord.

"Well, you've been working really hard. But you didn't make it in a little while."

There are five more challenges that have not been painted. In time or not, it's a subtlety. I do not say it is subtle, I console Vilfried as something I did not make it.

"That was a shame, Brother Wilfried"

To my words, the lay servants went out of their way, and Wilfried opened his eyes.

"Become!? Oh, don't waste it! There will still be a day before the revelation!

"... in three days, right? Are you sure you'll make it?

"Of course! Let's do it, Mauritz."

They stirred me up and set me on fire for motivation. As Wilfried called Mauritz to begin his studies, I gently left the room.

I went back to my room and had my luggage removed from the temple to my room, and had Richarda bring a book from the library room to enjoy my leisurely reading time.

At the dinner table, Osvalt reports that Vilfleet's assignment has been anointed again, praised by his parents. Wilfried stretched his chest and looked at me.

"What do you say, Rosemaine? I can do it."

"Yeah, it's amazing. As Brother Wilfried said, if you don't do it, you can't do anything. That's the most important thing that's ever happened."

Stirring Wilfried's motivation, when I am satisfied, Zilvester has complained of his dissatisfaction with his bitter face.

"Rosemaine, do something about Ferdinand."

"... somehow, what does that mean?

I didn't know, but it seems Zilvester has sent SOS to the Cleric Chief to "help" in Ordnants many times before. That's all "I can't go without the permission of the temple chief," he says.

"Then you say you take the head of the temple, but you don't try to take the head of the temple for a reason that he's absent, or busy."

Oh, I see the Chief Cleric's black smile.

But if you put the Cleric Chief out here to help you to the castle, it's no different than it's ever been.

"There are a lot of civilians in the castle, so it doesn't matter, does it? Originally, the Chief Cleric entered the temple to show internally and externally that he was not involved in the political world, so wouldn't it be stranger for the Chief Cleric to enter and leave the castle and get involved in the work"

Though sneaky, it would be something you shouldn't have done.

"The chief clergyman is now happy to cultivate a backward step in the temple. I heard there was a huge coup d 'état, and there was a slight decrease in nobility, but there are few aftermath here in a neutral position, and it's relatively peaceful, right? You should grow up and empower yourself now."

In the present state of reliance on the Chief Cleric, if there is trouble around, this is going to go to waste soon.

"... I mean, aren't you willing to drop Ferdinand over here?

"If a civilian comes to the temple to ask a question about something you wouldn't know if it wasn't for Master Ferdinand, I'll tell him so he can answer it."

Unless there's so much going on, I don't think a civilian would bother to take a trip to the temple. There is only one person who is likely to take pleasure in the temple.

"Rosemaine, then Master Zilvester..."

"My adoptive mother, you don't have to worry about that. There is no way that Aub Aerenfest could imitate the appearance of a frivolous father in front of a son who strives to be a lord"

When he hit a big nail with Cocon, Zilvester missed his eye with the exact same, annoying face as Wilfried.

"Rosemaine, your father is amazing. There's no way I'm sorry."

With his son's shining eyes, he puts on a chase discussion in the name of objection.

This would have made it even harder to skip the errand.

... Brother Wilfried, you did it!

Then, until Reveal Day, while serving as an agitator for Wilfried, I also encouraged her to practice herself with Rosina.

And the day of the feast of beginnings.

And as I did on the day of the baptism, I was made to bathe in the water early in the morning, and when I had finished my breakfast, I was clothed with a costume for revelation, and my hair was tied. Apply hair decorations and when ready move from the north away to a room close to the main hall.

The winter baptism ceremony begins with 3 bells and continues straight to the seven-year-old unveiling of this year's baptism ceremony, but being kept waiting from a fairly early hour is the result of taking into account my traveling speed and who is surprised by the horseman.

You will wait in the waiting room where the revealing child can be gathered, Rosina, an exclusive musician, has a fesh peel, and Richarda, a sidekick, is with you.

Today's escorts are Brother Cornelius and Angelica, but today they're both wearing matching cloaks and brooches. Mountain blown or a cloak of shades that could be described as loess is the same thing that the Knights wore in last year's Trombe crusade.

"Cornelius and Angelica's cloaks match."

"Cloak and brooch are given by Aub Aerenfest when entering the House of Lords. Today, whoever wears this cape will belong to the House of Lords."

Apparently, it's like a uniform in the House of Lords. I heard in more detail that this color is Aerenfest territory color, and the House of Lords weaves cloaks of different colors for each territory.

From the waiting room window of the main building you can see the beast arrive early in the morning, the carriage arrives and the nobles continue to arrive at the castle.

"You're early, Rosemaine."

"Good morning, Brother Wilfried"

Brother Wilfried comes into the waiting room, and then a nobleman comes in with a pompous and a child. We are seated in the back of the room, and it is the two of us, Richarda and Osvalt, who respond to the nobility.

I can't even talk satisfactorily about having kids my age. I have a relationship with my parents, so I'm told not to talk to them on my own.

... Ah, some girls.

I laughed and waved at Nicole, but she looked in trouble. Let's weigh ourselves in.

There were eight children who came to the waiting room. On average, they're 10, so they're a little low this year.

"Let's go, Rosemaine"

When the 3 bells rang, Wilfried offered his hand at me with a tense face like a little gentleman. Apparently, I, Wilfried, will escort me into the Great Hall.

"Brother Wilfried, don't walk too fast"

"... didn't they need more walking practice than Feshpeel?

"It may be so"

It's too late, but when I whined, Wilfried laughed like the tension was broken. Me and Vilfried led the way, out of the waiting room, and stood in front of the door of the great hall.

"Please walk straight"

"Yes."

When Richarda and Osvalt avoid aside, the door to the great hall slowly opens.

"Welcome the new Aerenfest child."

The voice of the chief cleric echoed loudly, and beyond the door gathered so many nobles that they had never seen before that they turned their gaze here.

I'm frightened for a moment by a lot of curiosity and interest. That's probably the same for Wilfried. Breathtaking, I put a little strength in the hand I put on Wilfried's arm. Vilfleet turns this way like a hack.

"Let's come."

Gazing and nodding gently, we took a step together.
