Ascendance of a Bookworm

Back in Aerenfest, I recovered the little chalice that the blue clerics would bring back from the harvest festivals everywhere, and received reports about this year's harvest and how things were going everywhere. We must go to the castle to compile the report of that blue cleric and report it to the lord.

"Ready? Let's go."

"Yes!"

I will ride the beast with the chief cleric to the castle.

... When this is over, I can have Yuleeve made.

When I arrive at the castle, I leave the chief clergyman and head to my private chamber, far north, to change with Richarda, who came out to pick me up.

"Today, after my report to Aub Aerenfest, I have a greeting from Princess Charlotte"

"... Princess Charlotte? Brother Wilfried's sister, the princess?

"Yep."

Richarda nodded loudly.

"Princess Charlotte is having her christening ceremony this winter, so she's getting her room ready and ready for everything."

Speaking of which, my mother should have taken the initiative to set up the room so that I could use it from the day of the christening, too. Although in my case I have been tapped into my education as a nobleman and I was not in a very good position to participate in making a room, Charlotte says she is practicing moving people and waving extraction to make her own room.

... Just listening, I think I'm better than Brother Wilfried.

With that in mind, we enter the northern detachment and go up the stairs. The door to the next room was wide open and I could see the furniture being brought in.

Watching the room is a girl as short or somewhat as short as I am. He looked back as he noticed that we had come up the stairs. Blonde hair shaking close to the twirling silver, blue eyes blinking with a lively light in her adorable face just wondering if she was an equal size doll.

"Sister Rosemaine!

When he meets me, Charlotte laughs joyfully and heads this way with her sidekick and escort knight.

... Ooh, they said sister!

The sound of "sister" was enough already. What would it take but a word of it for me to be the sister of Charlotte? I tremble with emotion when my pretty smiling "sister" punches me through the chest with Zukun.

"Me, I can't really pray for blessings because I haven't finished the baptism yet, but may I say hello?

"Yes, of course."

Charlotte, who confirmed the prayer complaint to look up a little, kneels on the spot and drips her neck.

"Please forgive me to pray for blessings on the fruitful day of the protection of Szeria, the goddess of wind, to the encounter guided by the Gods"

"I forgive you."

"Rosemaine, give your sister the blessing of Szeeria, the goddess of wind....... My name is Charlotte, daughter of Aub Aerenfest. Best regards,"

Though Charlotte could not exchange blessings, she could say without mistake a prayer complaint. I know very well that this first greeting makes me nervous. Though it was also my mother who greeted me for the first time, my heart was baffled to say whether I could say it without a doubt.

To Charlotte, who remains on her knees, I remember when my mother spoke to me in her first greeting.

"We welcome you, Charlotte. I am your sister."

Charlotte raised her face with a howling grin on my words. I am also followed and laugh nicely.

"You've been very good at greeting me."

"Thank you. I know. My brothers are all my lords, so I'm glad you wanted a sister. From now on, stay close."

"Me too... I wanted a sister too. Thank you very much."

...... Charlotte, seriously cute. Could be my angel since Touri.

Ha, and Charlotte leaned her neck slightly as I was exhaling an inspiring sigh.

"Rosemaine, your sister is the head of the temple, isn't she? Will my baptism be blessed by my sister?

To see from the blue eyes full of anticipation, this is a trick.

… wish! My first treat! I would love to make this happen to you. Yes, as my sister!

"It's for my pretty sister. If Master Ferdinand says it's good, I'll bless you."

"Looking forward to it"

As I nodded loudly at Charlotte with a radiant smile, Richarda stepped forward and blocked the conversation.

"Princess, it's time to head to the report. Why don't we have a tea party after they get back? Because Princess Charlotte will love sweets."

When I asked my sister how Charlotte was doing to the lovely sound of a tea party, Charlotte looked at me with the same smile as Wilfried, who had preceded her sweets. Although Charlotte looks cuter.

"Now, after we finish the report, when we were five bells, let's have a tea party. Otilier, ask Ella to prepare the treats."

"Yes, sir."

Separating from Charlotte, I hurried to change in my chamber, moving the horseman slightly faster to the Lord's office. The clergyman was already waiting, and the civilians were ready.

My adoptive father stretches out his spine and looks at me.

"Well, shall we hear the report?"

"I thought Charlotte was so cute"

"Um, sure."

When the first thing I thought I had to report today came out with my mouth poked, my adoptive father nodded loudly and agreed.

"I promised to do Charlotte's christening."

"What you have to do is report a harvest festival, fool!

I get the clinging of the clergyman with Harrison, and I seriously start reporting on the Harvest Festival. The harvest in the direct jurisdiction, except Hasse, was clearly higher than last year, and the effect of my turning all around at the prayer ceremony was recognized.

"It's best to ask for it next spring."

Honestly it's pretty tough physically to get around it all, but it should be a healthy body the next spring, so it won't be a problem. I nodded softly, indicating my willingness to accept.

"Leave Calstead, Ferdinand and Rosemayne, pay the people"

Upon finishing my report on the Harvest Festival, I was just going back to my room, and I was dismayed when I realized that the story was still going on. I take it for granted that I would rather have a tea party with my pretty sister than a discussion surrounded by parents.

After the civil servants and sidelines left, it became my attitude if my adoptive father turned his neck while making him say gorigorical, public or private.

"Ah, Rosemaine. I heard from both of you about how to compress magic, but maybe even adults can work? Even if you can't make the magic vessel bigger, you'd say the amount of magic you can get inside will increase, wouldn't you?

"... I'm not an adult, so I don't know. I think your adoptive father has a point, so why don't you experiment?

When I said so, my adoptive father took himself out with his eyes shining. I'm motivated by myself.

"Okay, we choose on the basis of who can carry out compression on their own, who is the condition of the person, who is a Florentine, who gets six approvals, but why not start with the person's guardian or family?

Specifically, Mr. and Mrs. Lords, the Cleric Chief, your father, your mother, Brother Eckhardt, Brother Lamprecht, and Brother Cornelius appear to be eligible. They will then also expand their boundaries to escort knights and side service.

Even from the thought of being spoken like a matter of decision, it seems like a blue picture had already been drawn in the brain.

"... If it works for adults too, you might want to review the price a little"

I thought magic compression was a child's cost of education, but if adults also find it available, users should increase, and then the burden on households becomes more severe. I don't want to buy any extra grudges. I need a fair price to let everyone know that they are available and well worth it.

"How about half the price from the second member of the same family? How much higher nobility, though, would it be hard for five, Father?

"That won't help."

That's what your father said and nodded in a smudged tone. The Calstead family is the most common participant in this one.

"Rosemaine, I'd rather talk about magic compression in the winter social world, so I'd like to try it as soon as possible."

The adoptive father is not the only one who is embarking on himself, but has no heart or your father and the chief cleric seem to be nagging.

"You can't help knowing, guys"

"Whether or not you can stretch your magic is important to the nobility. Of course you care."

Come on, hurry up, my adoptive father's eyes say, but when it comes to gathering members to prepare for contract magic, it's visible that it takes quite a while.

I sifted and shook my head.

"... I made a promise to Charlotte and the Tea Party today. Wouldn't it take a while to get everyone together and get ready for contract magic? See you later."

"Hmm!? Do you give priority to Charlotte over me, Rosemaine, her adoptive father!?

"Because Charlotte is cuter"

When I answered kickingly, my adoptive father moaned with his head, "Sure, I'm cool, but in cuteness I'm losing to Charlotte". Cool, huh? and a question mark flew across my head, but keep quiet about it.

"Besides, my medication is more important to me than magic compression, so I'll tell you when Yurevé is ready."

The clergyman told me that I had collected the material and that it was after the report, and I haven't had it made yet. It is my health priority over the magic compression of others.

To my claim, the clergyman narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Rosemaine, it's good to make medicine, but use it later"

"Why?

"Using Jurevé is about ten days to a month… because in some cases, you will sleep about one minute a season. If you're going to be at Charlotte's Baptist ceremony for sure, you'd better stop it now"

The chief cleric told me that it would also take some time to melt because my magic consolidation was done quite a while ago.

"Besides, I said you would do the winter baptism ceremony, but there are tons of things you have to remember if you're serious about doing it. Unlike the Baptist ceremony in Lower Town, we have to remember everything from magic registration to blessing and winter to the subsequent stream of revelations. No matter how healthy you want to be, you can't afford to use very much medicine."

"I want physical room, I want to make medicine, what does that mean?"

But after using the medicine, but as far as I'm concerned, I want to attend Charlotte's baptismal ceremony. There's no way you can trust your sister to break a promise all of a sudden.

"I have no choice. The medicine will be used after Charlotte's christening ceremony."

"No, after the christening ceremony, the winter social world would begin as it were, and there would be a service ceremony, wouldn't there? … If you want to mislead the eyes of other nobles, it might be better after the prayer ceremony"

"Wait a minute. Though I feel like my health has gone a long way!

"We should carefully identify when to use it," the chief cleric said, claiming that he wanted to be healthy soon. I feel the silent pressure of the clergyman to reduce his burden at all is coming under pressure. Whatever it is for Charlotte, I'm not going to put up with health until spring for the Cleric Chief.

The clergyman, who had a difficult face as he gently slapped a ton of temples, looked at me like he was hacked.

"Rosemaine, why don't you attend the Winter Baptist Ceremony not as the Temple Chief, but as the family of your new sister, as your sister? That way, there's very little to remember by the baptismal ceremony."

"Then you can't!

Make your first sister's treat come true. Touri always listened to me. I also aspire to a good sister like Tulli.

"I, as my sister, bless you at Charlotte's baptismal ceremony. It's nothing as much as I often remember. I've always remembered things."

"I see. You want to show your sister the good things you can do for the first time, don't you?

I nodded heavily to the chief cleric, who said so with a gentle slap on his temple. Exactly. I want to show Charlotte the good and be a respected sister.

"... then would you be even more respected if you showed your sister that you were not only giving blessings at the Baptist ceremony, but also contributing to the territory as the daughter of a lord at the service and prayer ceremonies? Really, don't you think it's the right thing to do as a sister?

"I think!

When I grasped my fist and agreed, the chief priest nodded with a freshly said "get my will".

"Well, good luck to the prayer ceremony"

"Yes!...... hmm? Is that it?"

When I remembered the hook and tilted my neck, my adoptive father pointed to the door all the time.

"Rosemaine, are the tea party promises okay? You can go now."

"Is it good?

"Oh, you adore Charlotte"

"Absolutely."

When my adoptive father asked me to slap him in the chest and undertake, I greeted him out of the room. Leaving my adoptive father's office, I return to my room around my nose. After this, we're having a tea party with Charlotte. Ugh, uh-huh.

Before the 5 bells rang, the tea party was perfectly ready and Ella's treats were perfectly ready. Today it is a pie made with plenty of seasonal fruit.

"Sister, thank you for inviting me, I know."

"I'm glad you're here, Charlotte."

For the first time, Charlotte sits in a chair with a slightly nervous face, having a tea party with a non-family member. I'm also a little nervous at my first tea party with my sister.

"Because your brother always praised your sister, I was really looking forward to seeing you."

He told me stories about the Bible picture books that Wilfried took and about Karta who brought them to me but couldn't win.

"That picture book and carta must have been made by your sister, right? Your brother said."

How can I describe this emotion? Until now I have received the praise of my sister, who was called uselessly within me. I want to rejoice in being happy and embarrassed and gobbling around.

...... I have to thank Brother Wilfried. Thanks to you, I, now admired by my lovely sister!

"Your sister made your mother's hair decorations, too, didn't she? It looked like a real flower and it was so beautiful"

"I'm the one thinking about it, but it's the craftsmen who make it. Shall I introduce you to Charlotte, too?

The same hair decorations as mine are now fashionable to the Florentines. Brigitte's propaganda in the star knot ritual seems to have been highly effective, and it has become used not only as a hair decoration, but also as a dress decoration. I think maybe Touri and her mother are very naughty.

"Are you sure? Can you make it to my christening ceremony?

"... the christening ceremony might be difficult. If there's anything in my possession that fits the costume, I'll lend it to you. Richarda, would you bring me some hair decorations using the precious colors of winter?

"Please wait a moment, Princess"

Angelica comes in when Richarda is hitting Charlotte's hair with the hair decorations she brought me and choosing which one is better.

"Dear Rosemayne, Mr. Wilfried is asking for permission to enter the room. Dear Charlotte..."

Vilfleet came in from behind Angelica while Angelica was asking me for permission.

The unauthorized side service and escort knight of Vilfleet is reaching out in front of the door and calling for him to return to Vilfleet, but Vilfleet has not heard.

"I heard Charlotte is here..."

"Brother Wilfried, coming in without waiting to hear back is not a good behavior."

When I frowned and told Vilfleet to leave the room once, Vilfleet lifted his eyebrows with a kick.

"Shut up, Rosemaine! Charlotte, you have to leave this room now. Don't let Rosemaine fool you!

... Yes?

Suddenly I couldn't understand what I had said, and as everyone looked at Pocahontas and gently opened their mouths, Charlotte tilted her neck with her eyes blinking.

"Brother, what are you saying all of a sudden? Haven't you always praised your sister"

I was also hacked by his voice, and looked back upon Vilfreet. You can't be spoiled to take this kind of rhetoric in front of your sister. I will be a respected sister.

"Brother Wilfried, who the hell am I to deceive? Please stop arguing."

"Don't shimmer!

Brother Lamprecht rushed into the room in an effort to stop the daddy-rushed Vilfleet, and Angelica grabbed and pulled down the arms of the Vilfleet as she tried to pass by, almost simultaneously holding him down. Dan! And there's a loud noise, and Vilfleet can hold onto Angelica.

"I want to! Do what!?

"We would like you to stay away from Rosemayne without permission to enter the room."

"Whose permission did you get to do this..."

"I am Lord Rosemayne's escort knight, so it is only natural to capture suspicious persons who do not have permission to enter."

Angelica said so palely, still holding on to Vilfleet. Brother Lamprecht alternately looked at Angelica and me and turned his gaze here to ask for help.

As an escort knight, Angelica has not acted incorrectly, but I want Wilfried released from custody. I hear voices like that.

When I opened my mouth, "Angelica, that's enough," I shouted out loud, as Wilfried stared up at Angelica.

"Isn't the suspicious person Rosemaine? My aunt told me. Rosemayne and Ferdinand fell for it! You two are the bad guys!

... As for Auntie, she's the sister of the former temple chief, and she's a closed person, right?

I frown. I heard that the lord's mother had committed a serious sin, which meant she was locked away somewhere. They should be locked away where they can't get in without the Lord's permission to prevent escape or collaborators.

Where does Wilfried hear from his aunt, who did not even know at the end of the summer that her aunt had been locked up as a criminal?

"Brother Wilfried, when and where did you have the opportunity to talk to your aunt?

The surrounding escort knights and sidelines changed their complexion simultaneously to my words. Vilfleet's escort knight and side service are bright blue. Running over to Vilfleet with the momentum that would thrust Angelica, he begins to inquire in shapes that he can't even stand to spit on.

"Dear Wilfried, when!? When did you talk to Master Veronica?!?

"How did you meet!?

Even if you think from the rush around you, you're not supposed to meet Veronica, who has Vilfleet locked up, and it seems unlikely.

This wouldn't be a good story to end by questioning Wilfried here.

"Richarda, please report to Aub Aerenfest. … I think it would be better if you came here with a careful selection of companions so as not to make things rough."

"Yes, Princess."
