Ascendance of a Bookworm

Richarda leaves the room early. When I saw even that complexion, I also found out that Vilfleet had done a hell of a lot.

Heavy silence fills the room and everyone tends to frown and lean over. It was Vilfleet who had been seized by Angelica that broke that silence.

"Lamprecht, that would be my escort!? What the hell are you doing!? Help!"

The nominated brother Lamprecht slowly shook his neck to the side, looking remorseful as he bit his back teeth off.

"Dear Mr. Wilfried, since last fall, you have not stolen our eyes and got out of it, and we have seriously encouraged you to study and sword archery. I was really proud of your efforts to be worthy of being your next lord. And yet, why is this..."

Brother Lamprecht's words seemed to represent those who served Wilfried. Everyone has the same teethy, regrettable, thoughtless, helpless face as Brother Lamprecht.

"When the hell, and why, did you do that? Until we know that, we cannot release Master Wilfried from custody."

"Become!?

As he heard the incredible words, Vilfleet opens his eyes wide, staring at his side of the service and his escort knight only through his gaze, remaining in an unfettered position.

"... Is that so much that I met my aunt?

"Yes."

With Richarda at the forefront, adoptive fathers, fathers, clergymen and brother Eckhardt came all together. No face shows emotion. It's faceless.

My adoptive father looked down at me and Charlotte for the first time, comparing the side service and escort knights of Vilfried, who were pale with Vilfried, who was being held by Angelica just moments after he entered.

"I want to hear more about what happened. Rosemayne, I'm sorry, but I need you to keep using the room."

"Yes."

"Osvalt, call all the sidelines and escort knights of Wilfried....... and Eckhardt, don't let Rosemayne and Charlotte's side service on this occasion out of Wilfried's room. Oh, leave Richarda alone."

"Ha!"

The side servants left with Brother Eckhardt in a solemn manner, and only my escort knight was left to guard the room. Dermuel and Brigitte outside the room, the remaining escort knight inside the room is Angelica, who remains holding down Brother Cornelius and Vilfleet.

Side service was taken out, and I saw Charlotte, left alone, looking around terribly anxiously. And when I made a gentle call, and showed him to come this way, Charlotte nodded small, and came to me.

Richarda prepares herself to sit down with the guardians for us to discuss. I sighed lightly when I saw the pleasant tea party seats being transformed into a serious place for discussion. Too bad it was a tea party because of you.

"Excuse me, sir."

By the time Richarda was ready, she was probably doing another job, her adoptive mother arrived. Look at Vilfleet, who remains held by Angelica, and smile indescribably at her adoptive father.

"Princess Rosemaine is here, Princess Charlotte is not invited to sit here"

Richarda will lead us to the round table. I sit in the order of the clergyman, adoptive father and adoptive mother, but I was seated next to the clergyman and Charlotte next to the adoptive mother.

And there's one chair just a little distance from me and Charlotte. No one has yet sat in that place, which I believe is the seat of Vilfleet.

"We have come to you on an urgent call"

"I was summoned by Master Osvalt, are you sure here?

Seems to have summoned everyone, including the nonstop, and Vilfleet's sidelines and escort knights were aligned in the room. Neither one nor he opens his eyes slightly to the figure of Vilfleet, held against the floor, aligned slightly away from the table, kneeling, in good breath at the presence of the Lords and their wives.

"We're all set"

My adoptive father, who listened to Osvalt's voice and watched Wilfried still, turned to me.

"Rosemaine, may I ask you to release Vilfleet? I want to talk."

"Yes, I did. Angelica."

When I speak, Angelica nods small and frees Vilfleet immediately. I headed straight to the door and assumed escort duties in the room.

"Wilfried, sit down"

"... Yes, Father"

Vilfleet nods small and sits in the chair pulled by Richarda.

Only a few seconds of twitching and heavy silence dominated. The clergyman sitting next to him opened his mouth as he gripped the hand he had placed on his lap.

"Things have their own way of looking at them. We have to learn everything and judge on it."

"Speaking lies and lies is a sin."

The lord who said so narrows his eyes slightly and looks around at the side of the vilfried and escort knights lining up sloppily. And I stopped my gaze at Osvalt kneeling at the head of the aligning side-services.

"Osvalt, I've never had a report of Wilfried falling out in a while here, but when did I lose sight of Wilfried, shall I ask?

"… never lost sight of Master Wilfried while we were in business. Over the past year, Master Wilfried has taken the challenge with great seriousness and sincerity. There's nothing false about that report."

When Osvalt looked up and answered that as he looked straight at his adoptive father, the side servants of Wilfried nodded in agreement with Osvalt.

"Rather, I'd like to hear it. How Master Wilfried cheated on our eyes."

"I'm not deceiving you, Osvalt!

When Wilfried screams, his adoptive father, with a slight frown, turns his gaze from the sidelines to Wilfried.

"... I haven't deceived you, I haven't done anything wrong, if that's what you think, then you should be able to be honest about what you did. When did you meet your mother, Wilfried?

It's time for the hunting competition, Father.

Clearly, the moment Wilfried answered, everyone's complexion changed, but I don't understand. Why has everyone changed their complexion?

"Um, what is a hunting tournament? I don't know..."

And when I tilted my neck, the chief priest answered me.

"Rosemaine won't know because she tours all over the place in the service of the temple. As its name suggests, hunting takes place in the castle forest. It takes place on a large scale before the winter social world. A knight in an aristocratic neighborhood is the most tense event, as prey also becomes winter food and rewards are given for the number of prey he hunts."

Sounds like an event that's part of the winter proportions that increase the castle's reserves. Among the knights and the civilian and sideline servants, the hopeful turn to hunt, competing for their arms, while hunting for their prey. Women and children other than knights say it's an elegant event to have a tea party outside while supporting them.

Since it takes place during harvest festivals everywhere, civilian officials are very busy managing taxes and say that the aristocracy, which is usually in the aristocracy district, is also an uplifting event for the knights. It could be about the hunt that Zilvester, dressed as a blue cleric, said was full of fools and boring.

The knight will compete in arms, so the escort knight attached to you will be thin. Instead, they have side service, but because of the tea party, there are many shifts, and they can't do the same as usual.

"Weren't you with Florencia at the hunting tournament?

"We stayed together until we were on our way, but a schoolmate we met in the winter invited us to play games for kids together"

"Osvalt should have been with us then. I said," Keep your eyes open. "

Florencia looked straight at Osvalt. Osvalt seemed to take care of his alumni with Wilfried until the replacement arrived.

"Nothing was particularly unusual when I was attached. And then he was replaced by Rinhardt."

Linhardt, who was desperately following after Wilfried and his alumni were joking and running around, was apparently caught in the leg by the joking boys and injured. And while I was at it, they said the side service of the alumni was going to take care of Wilfried until it was time for a change.

"We played hide-and-seek after Linhardt went to take care of it. You're going through the tea party square so adults won't find you. I was passing through, hiding under the table so I couldn't find it, but that's when I heard about the various nobles. My aunt and uncle were captured because of Rosemayne and Ferdinand."

"Who was saying that?

"It's everyone who was there. Men and women, they were all talking about that."

The clergyman, moving his hand all the time and writing down his remarks, groaned small, "Have you strayed into the gathering place of the old Veronicans, or have their children taken you out?" Remembering that Richarda had noticed that there was always a parent behind the child, I lay my eyes down lightly.

I can't believe you have to think of such a conspiracy with your kids in their hide-and-seek. I would not have had any particular doubts, not even in Vilfleet, and would have played with them. And you must believe that you don't happen to think that the adults gathering on the spot are former Veronicans, and that's because this is the only number of people who say so.

... it might not have been strange for me to sit over there.

That's what I thought, looking at Wilfried. I have been in the temple for a long time and have no events or interactions in the castle, so I have just not failed until now. If you don't seriously remember your aristocratic relationship, you must make the same mistake as Wilfried.

"Wilfried, I should have explained. Even though he forbade other lords to enter the city, his uncle abetted his mother, and her mother used the sign of her lord at will to bring other lords into the city. My mother was found guilty of forgery of official documents and forgery of other lords' marks. You weren't listening?

My adoptive father makes a difficult face and stares at Vilfleet. Asked if he trusted the words of the extra nobility, not those of his father, his adoptive father, Wilfried shook his head sifting.

"I jumped out from under the table and heard that from my father, I said. Then... the fact that Auntie sinned was not a mistake in itself, as Father said, but it was Rosemaine who caused the sin. Ferdinand told me he was plotting a conspiracy."

I felt like I knew Vilfleet would be anxious if he was so convoluted from an adult I don't know how many people.

Maybe if all the words my father had told me were denied, I would have disobeyed them. But after affirming his father's words, he has been added another piece of information. The other person's story must have really gotten into his brain.

Moreover, that added information is not entirely incorrect either. Veronica sinned to sell me off to the Earl of Bindebalt, so I must say that the cause was me, and the chief cleric was running to gather evidence to eliminate the former temple chief. I think it would have seemed like the conspiracy would have been strewn if only one sin was meant to have been committed, even if the guilt had been revealed to such a small sin that it was not even remembered by the person.

"Then someone on the spot said," If you can ask your aunt in person, you'll know which one of them is right. "

The lord closed his tight eyes.

I think it's a skillful induction. Wilfried has been raised, I hear, by his grandmother, whom he took from his mother. For Wilfried, I wonder if Veronica, my grandmother, who has raised her much more than her mother, Florencia, is closer and more important to me.

If the family you trust unconditionally is your grandmother, then it's natural to trust that word.

"Another man told me that the place where my aunt was being caught was a white tower. If I asked where that tower was, would you at least, just check the location? And one woman said, she told me where. We went to the tower to explore."

It's an exploration, just to make sure there's really a tower, and with that being said, if Wilfried proceeded as taught with his alumni, they really had a tower. There was a man in front of that tower, and he said, "The door here cannot be opened unless it is a lord or his child".

It's just locked, with that in mind, it was Vilfleet watching others try to open the door, but he said, "Would you like to try Master Vilfleet too?" She said, "and tried to open the door.

"When the others put their hands on the door, it didn't open, but when I did, it really did open."

"I guess so.... So you're in? Who else came in with you?

My adoptive father asks me that without strength. It was just a confirmation. Everyone can see that Vilfleet went in as it was. Otherwise, the words "Auntie told me" don't make up.

"I'm alone. My alumni told me we couldn't let them in. Just as the door didn't open in the others, I found out that the others couldn't get into the tower, so I went into the tower alone. Then there really was an aunt in the tower, and she told me the truth."

With that said, Wilfried glanced at me and the clergyman. The words of Wilfried, which then began, were the proxy of Veronica.

"It's all because of Rosemayne and Ferdinand that my aunt is trapped in a place like that and she's having a hard time"

My adoptive mother meditates on her tight eyes, defending Veronica and giving me and the appearance of Wilfried, who rebukes the Cleric Chief, a look that she felt like she was in untenable pain.

"Father, please. Dear Auntie..."

"Don't say it! You mustn't say anything beyond that!

Bang! and made a loud noise, my adoptive father slammed the table and blocked Wilfried's words. Suddenly, he didn't think the words would be blocked that way. Wilfried turns his eyes round and looks at his adoptive father.

"... Father?

"Wilfried, it was I who revealed my mother's sins and gave her a sentence commensurate with that sin. Neither Rosemaine nor Ferdinand. Aub Aerenfest."

Wilfried, who was holding his grandmother's words that I and the chief clergyman were evil, looked at him as if surprised. It's like knowing that my grandmother was captured for sin didn't understand that it was her father who gave the verdict. Or maybe our memories were repainted when they heard that it was me and the clergyman that was bad, and that we were the ones who caught my grandmother.

"Objection to my judgment is seen (all) as disobedience to the Lord. You call them anti-Lords, and you want to rival me or my mother, Florencia?

Wilfried shook his head as he swung in panic at the words questioned with a harsh look.

"I'm not thinking about defying my father or my mother!

"But if you defend your mother and object to me, that's what you'll see from around you. Do not say anything far-fetched.... Yes, I've said it many times."

"... something far-fetched..."

With regret Wilfried devoured his teeth, staring at me and the chief cleric.

As her adoptive mother stood up cathartically, she turned her foot to Vilfleet and gently stroked Vilfleet's cheek, smiling sadly.

"Vilfleet, you have learned the truth about your aunt, Lord Veronica. But the truth is not one. As Ferdinand said at the beginning, people all have their own way of seeing and their own truth. In the truth I know, Rosemaine is the victim of Veronica. Instead, it was Veronica who caused the conspiracy and disruption to the territory."

"Mother!?

As I say incredible, Vilfleet opens her eyes and shakes her head many times to shake off her adoptive mother's words. Holding such a vilfried, my adoptive mother let her voice wave.

"Veronica took you right after I was born. I didn't allow you to stroke or hug me like this. That's all, or I've made you sin. That's the truth for me."

Perfectly, Vilfleet stops moving and looks up at his adoptive mother, who is still going to cry, blinking wonderfully.

"... did I sin?

"Yeah, that's right. Veronica's tower of presence is a tower to keep the serious sinners of the Lords' clan in seclusion. You must not enter without permission from Aub Aerenfest. Anyone who enters without authorization will be questioned for rebellion against the lord or the escape of sinners."

"Become!? No one was there..."

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Wilfried turns bright blue.

Blood caught my eye, too. I didn't think they were locked up in such a big place. At best, I thought the tower was like a detached house, and I didn't think it would be so felonious just to talk to each other face to face.

"This may be the conspiracy of those who took us out to the tower in the hunting competition hustle and bustle. … but it was you who sinned"

The nobles who breathed rumors or taught the existence of towers have not committed sinful sins. I was just rumoring at the tea party. I just answered because they asked me. My alumni were just playing with me. I just explored. I just called to see if I could open the door because there was really a tower.

If we hadn't forced Vilfleet to pull away, we hadn't pushed him into the tower, and they hadn't even stepped into the tower.

It is Wilfried who is guilty, only one.

"No, I..."

"I'll be separated from Wilfried again."

I thought it was finally back in my hands..., and there were zero tears in Florence's eyes that squealed.

If asked about the escape aid of a felon who had been locked up by his lord, Wilfried would not fit in with a punishment that was obsolete either.

I saw my adoptive father and the chief cleric.

Although his adoptive father makes a desperate look at his thoughts, Wilfried's sins are obvious and even confessed. It will be difficult to shelter.

"... you've got a problem. So I told you to scrap it then."

The clergyman stopped his hand and raised his face, which somehow kept writing Gashigashi.

"Truth exists only in the number of people. Rosemaine, tell Wilfried the truth about you. You'd have lost something for Wilfried's grandmother, wouldn't you?

Wilfried sees me as he was hacked by the voice of the chief cleric.

"No. Rosemaine conspired..."

"That is not my truth, Brother Wilfried"

Without knowing what the Chief Cleric is thinking, I tell a story that is prepared as a setting. That he was raised hidden in the temple. That the former temple chief mistakenly thought of it as a civilian and dispersed it to the nobility. That the former temple chief asked his own sister to pull the nobility of another realm, and that he was about to be sold. that the guards and sidelines who tried to protect me were wounded. That the lord has adopted me to protect me from the nobility of other realms who come for magic.

Even though she knew her grandmother had sinned, she didn't know what kind of involvement it had with me. Vilfleet turned out stunned.

"So, what did Rosemaine lose?

family, and answering in my heart, I lay my eyes down softly.

"... free. Until then, I had gone out to Lower Town and asked the people of the various workshops to help me build the book. But he was forbidden to go down to Lower Town, he was forbidden to be intimate with those in Lower Town, and he was to receive a rigorous education so as not to embarrass himself as the adoptive daughter of a lord. Shortly after my baptismal ceremony I took up the position of temple chief in order to fill a magical hole due to the capture of the former temple chief. You know how hard it is to do that, don't you, Brother Wilfried?

Wilfried bit his lips gently and nodded.

I'm being honest, really. My conspiracy, you say by mouth, hears my words honestly.

Looking lonely like that, the adoptive mother gently combs Wilfried's hair with her hands and talks.

"Vilfleet, Lady Veronica has suffered a great deal from her sins. I still struggle with a lot of responsibilities. Still, you didn't say it was Master Veronica's fault, did you? When Wilfried was in a crisis of obsolescence, you would have helped him to the best of your ability, wouldn't you? Wouldn't that be your truth?

Wilfried looked at me like a hack. And his face turns red as he sees it.

"I'm sorry, Rosemaine. I... I was ungrateful. I've got a lot going on with them."

"You're welcome. For me, Master Veronica is a troubled man who sinned as the former temple chief wished. I don't know your face, I don't know your voice, I know your name recently, but it's an important family for Brother Wilfried. You should trust Veronica more than I do."

I, too, would undoubtedly trust Touri if it were the words of Wilfried and Touri. Maybe whatever they say, I'll defend my family harder. You won't be able to honestly listen to them like Wilfried did. In that sense, I think Wilfried is amazing.

"Is my adoptive father, Brother Wilfried, guilty? Obviously it's the result of being guided, and although I stepped into the tower, I haven't done anything yet..."

Without opening his mouth, the adoptive father glanced at the chief cleric. I don't want to be guilty if I can, but if pointed out, it can't be in. That's what he looked like.

"It's not like I didn't do anything. Didn't you peddle the words of criminals, break into your room without permission, and scold us? Do you forgive?

"Because Brother Wilfried apologized, and I take it for granted that you trust your family. Besides, if I were in Brother Wilfried's shoes, I think I would have done the same thing..."

I can see for myself that the end of the words gets smaller gradually. I know it's stupid to say forgive because I'm going to do the same thing.

But I don't feel like blaming you. consciousness, but I am weak when I am given thoughts of my family.

The chief clergyman looked so disgusted. But he turned his gaze to Wilfried, whining, "You're really sweet," he said.

"Wilfried, those of you will now have learned the three truths. It is the truth taught to the Lady of the Inaugural Lords, who is her grandmother, and the truth heard from her father, Aub Aerenfest, and from Rosemaine. I want to hear what you think and think better when you hear everything."

Having received the sight of the Chief Cleric, Wilfried slightly leans down and puts his hand on his chin in an attempt to put his thoughts together.

Wilfried, who had been thinking about it for a while, slowly raised his face and looked straight at the clergyman.
