Ascendance of a Bookworm

"Why is Traugot so eager for magic compression?

When I asked, Traugot kept his mouth shut and tried to say nothing.

"As I have always been told to make decisions about things after elaborating on the circumstances of all of them, I have decided to listen to Traugot, not just to give Richarda and Haltmut their dismissal. But if Traugot doesn't have an opinion, I don't mind you saying so."

Just adopt the opinions of Richarda and Haltmut, so I say, Traugot raised his face.

"I want to know how to compress magic because I want to be strong"

Don't ask me what I understand, my surrounding gaze that I shouldn't have heard the conversation became harsher on Traugot, who has such a face. I sigh lightly, realizing the surrounding atmosphere was pointy.

"... Traugot, I'm afraid of Richarda's anger later, if you don't fix the expression."

A gleefully breathtaking traugot exhaled one and turned into a soothingly serious face. I also squeeze my expression and face Traugot.

Traugot is not the only one who is seen with harsh eyes on everyone. They see how I treat Traugot as my Lord.

... In the meantime, I need to hear Traugot's opinion and make a decision on it...

To be honest, as far as I'm concerned, whether Traugot stays close, quits, or not, I don't care. I had less time to deal with him by saying he was a heterosexual escort knight, and Brother Cornelius is more accustomed and trustworthy.

He's Richarda's grandson, so he was recommended and served nearby, but if he hadn't had so many contacts yet, he wouldn't have made a good impression. Richarda and his uncle's grandson, so he only realized that he wanted to dispose of it to an extent that was not exhausting. I don't really think about being intimate with Traugot himself.

... Because I don't care, I have to make sure you don't listen to me.

And when I saw Traugot, he looked at me with the same eyes that he also explored, and then opened his mouth.

"I'll ask you again. Why do you want Traugot to be strong?

"Because Cornelius and Angelica became stronger knowing Master Rosemaine's magic compression."

"Is it because you want to beat Cornelius and Angelica?

"... yes"

In retrospect, Traugot has always been aware of Angelica and Brother Cornelius. Why stick to these two?

"Why does Traugot want to be strong? Angelica and Cornelius regretted putting me in danger and wanted strength, as they deserved as my escort knight. What the hell does Traugot get stronger for? What do you want before strength? Like Haltmoot said, do you want to serve Brother Wilfried?

The vicinity of Vilfleet has served even since Vilfleet's insistence as the next lord was revoked, and is very tightly tied. The newcomers are also careful of the faction. Just because you quit my side doesn't make it that easy to get in.

When I said so, I could see that Traugot chewed up his back teeth tightly.

"... I don't want to serve anyone. I want to be a Knights Commander like my uncle."

"You and Uncle Bonifatius, right?

Now I looked lightly at a place called Knights Commander like Bonifatius, not Karstead, the Knights Commander. Given Traugot's age, I don't think I've seen that many of his uncles working as knights.

... or is it more and more beautified with the intense impression I saw when I was little, or what?

In the meantime, it turns out that the goal for Traugot is uncle. I feel the blood of the cerebral muscle family seeking strength is concentrated.

"I want to lead the Knights like my uncle to hunt dangerous warcraft and be the Knights Commander who defends the territory. And that's why I want to be stronger than anyone else in the territory."

"If you want to be the Knights Commander, you do need strength."

While I first affirm the words of Traugot, is that it? and tilted his neck. The Knights of Aerenfest are to protect the Lords and their clans, as well as Aerenfest. For that reason, the Knights Commander should basically be working as an escort knight for the Lords.

"Traugot, isn't it impossible to be the Knights Commander without serving anyone? The Knights Commander should be the Lord's Guardian."

"My uncle was chief of the Knights without serving anyone. That's what I want to be."

... My uncle reigned as the Knights Commander without serving anyone because he was the son of a lord.

The old story of my uncle's eyebrow saliva was heard at a dinner party when I had just woken up from Jurevé. If there were all sorts of episodes, but that's all true, it's a turbulent life, again in a different way than the Chief Cleric. Since the Knights were the place where you could fully wield the strength of such an uncle, you should have belonged to the Knights as Knights Commander while assisting your predecessors.

Though the Knight Commander, he did not work as an escort knight for the Lords because his uncle also has duties as an assistant to the Lords. I hear that was the same when the chief clergyman had his seat in the Knights. The Son of the Lords will not be near.

Naturally, that can't apply to the senior aristocrat Traugot.

"Um, Traugot. That's..."

"Master Rosemayne may not seem able, but Cornelius and I used to be stronger. Your uncle also said I have qualities. If you know how to compress magic, I really should be stronger!

That's what I said, and Traugot held his fist in regret.

But I lean my neck against the words of Traugot. Even though Brother Cornelius and Traugot are close in age, they are two years apart. The two years of my childhood are huge, and Brother Cornelius should have been strong, at least to the point of being chosen as an escort knight, long before he knew how to compress my magic.

... Maybe I'm going to plant some competition and say, "Well, yeah. Traugot's got more qualities." I peddled your uncle's words, like that? Still, were you really stronger than Brother Cornelius?

I don't think Traugot has been stronger since then. I feel more like I'm right to think that Brother Cornelius gave you a hand job during training.

I found my interest in Traugot diminishing in me more and more.

... Oh, I'd like to cut the story up where it's appropriate already and read the book I borrowed from the library.

I wanted to finish the conversation early, but Traugot seemed to be in a mood for an environment where he could say what he wanted, and his mouth was getting faster.

"I was stronger, but as soon as I found out how to compress Rosemaine's magic, only those people grew stronger, and my uncle was corrupt enough to train all the Lords' Guardian knights, and he stopped training me."

Mouthlessness is seeping into the way it is said. Traugot, who can no longer get his beloved uncle to mind, may be pathetic, but given the circumstances, there is no choice.

A thief broke into the house of the lord at the behest of the nobles, and Charlotte was exposed, and I was poisoned and fell asleep. It was urgent to re-train the Guardian Knights of the Lords clan. If he was the son of a lord and the chief knight, I don't think he would put the Aerenfest crisis on the scale and train one of his grandchildren.

"I have always been the closest of my grandchildren to my uncle, but at some point Angelica became known as my uncle's beloved apprentice, and I was told that Cornelius was the most magical and powerful of my grandchildren"

If I were supposed to be in that position, Traugot squeals.

The Guardian Knight must be strong so that he can protect the Lords clan, his uncle said it was the Guardian Knight of the Lords clan who focused his efforts, and no longer had any other prospects.

"That would be so. Master Bonifatius is retired from the Knights. Isn't it the job of the upper echelons of the Knights to train other knights"

"So I wanted to be an escort knight!

Traugot only thinks he can be recognized by his uncle. That's why he didn't want to be near Wilfried, who received an internal revocation as his next lord.

"Why did you choose my escort knight? If I had been an escort knight for Charlotte, I would have had my uncle train me as an escort knight for the Lords' clan while I was asleep, wouldn't I?

"Master Charlotte is a woman, so there are many escort knights. There were so few heterosexual escort knights, and I had a weak connection."

Though on the same faction, Charlotte's sidelines and Nanny and Traugot had a thin relationship, and Traugot, who had more to cheer up and play with the Wilfries in one way or another, seemed to be judged unsuitable for Charlotte.

As a result, he went on to sleep for two years, aiming at my side, where the proximal candidate broke up once. The lead service is Richarda, and there is also a relationship between my uncle's grandchildren. Besides, they also calculated that if you were my escort knight, after you woke up, you'd be best taught how to compress magic.

"My father, who praised me before, also began to say all the tougher things since Cornelius became stronger. I want my magic up fast. I want to be strong."

"When it comes to Traugot's father, your father, ah, no, Calstead's brother, right?

According to Richarda's information, Traugot's father must have been the son of his uncle's second wife. And I hear you married Richarda's daughter.

"Yes."

Then according to what you told me, Traugot's father has grown up compared to Calstead. I think there are parts of the mother that were hanging out with each other. I don't know in detail what emotions I saw your father as the First Lady's child and head of the Knights.

But I guess it was a special extraordinary pleasure for Traugot's father that Bonifatius, who was working out two near-aged Cornelius and Traugot, said Traugot had talent.

He asked Traugot for strength, hoping Bonifatius would like it. The result seemed to be connected to the current situation.

"A lower knight like Dermuel can stretch all that magic. I should be able to stretch more."

... What?

Irritated by Traugot's words underestimating Dermuel's efforts, his sympathy for Traugot, which was sprouting, disappeared in an instant.

Indeed, Dermuel was a junior knight, always mourning for his lack of magic, and was in such a condition that he was seen as not eligible by his favorite opponent because of it.

But the importance to me is not comparable to that of Traugot. He's my oldest date, my most trusted escort knight. He tried to protect me from Sikikoza even after he found out I was a civilian, and from Count Bindebalt with all his life since he began to be sent to the temple as an escort.

Even after knowing how to compress magic, I have made serious efforts to increase my magic with tricks, and I have always thought about how I can fight efficiently, so much so that my uncle praises me for handling magic. Unlike the cavalier apprentices of today, who go in with their magic and strength alone, Darmuel can fight with his head.

"Darmuel's magical stretch is due to his efforts. Traugot would be more advantageous for being a senior aristocrat in his growing years, but it's hard for anyone to make that serious effort."

"High is known where lower nobles have made serious efforts"

... Hmm? Oh, yeah.

At the time I laughed with my nose at Darmuel's serious efforts, the truncation of Traugot was decided in me. I don't like it when escort knights have a giddy vibe with each other, and I don't want anyone who can't respect each other.

I don't want to leave Traugot around me making fun of junior aristocrats without seeing that I have excellence.

... It would be best if you resigned.

Dismissal may result in injury not only to the person in question, but also to blood relatives. As for me, I want to avoid Richarda or my uncle being at a disadvantage because of Traugot or something.

Besides, it's weirdly troublesome to get resentment, so I want to keep it in a state where Traugot wants it and quits himself.

"In the meantime, I understand Traugot's claim. I want to be like my uncle and I want praise from my father. I want to be stronger than Cornelius and give back to everyone. You can't help but want to know how to compress my magic."

A child whose form is much greater than mine, but who seeks the affection of his parents. I seek strength for the affection of my parents. I just don't see my surroundings very well. Even if I could figure that out, I didn't get any love at all that I could personally think of for you so that Traugot could grow.

"Traugot, please resign from the vicinity now. Instead, I'll teach you how to compress magic."

"Is it true!?

I let my face shine with joy and Traugot looked out for me.

"Yeah, when we teach everyone at the end of winter, let's put them on the subject of teaching at the same time. But please protect making money on your own and not taking problem actions. This has nothing to do with proximity or faction, because it's basic."

Trougot nodded heavily when he said that my proximity, as well as the proximity of Wilfried, was to be protected. I am trembling at the joy of my hopes being fulfilled.

"Now put down your magic equipment and proclaim it before everyone"

And when I laid down the magic apparatus that was in my hand with Cottori, Traugot also laid down the magic apparatus. And with a sunny face, I look around at everyone nearby and proclaim it exalted.

"I, Traugot, resign as Guardian Knight of Lord Rosemayne."

He resigned because he said he was dismissed. I felt a gaze pointed at me that would condemn me. Especially the sight from the same escort knights is harsh. Though the angriest and toughest part was Richarda's gaze.

I leaned my neck as I shed those gazes.

"Richarda, is there anything like a proceeding regarding your resignation?

"Princess."

Unlike Richarda, who spoke out to blame, Hartmoot offered me sooo much wood and ink.

"Dear Rosemayne, why don't you write down on this wooden plaque that you're quitting?

"Thank you, Haltmoot. Now, Traugot, do not write here that you will resign my escort knight of your own free will. That's it."

Traugot writes on the wooden plaque as a delight.

When I saw the letters written in ink, I nodded one.

"This will be good. From now on, Traugot is not one of my cavalier apprentices, my escort knight."

"Yes."

"You can go back to your room now, Traugot. I'll explain later."

When I say so, Traugot leaves the room with a sleaze so as to escape Richarda's stabbing sharp gaze.

The moment Traugot left, Richarda's anger exploded.

"Princess, what are you going to do!? As far as that look on Traugot's face, you promised to teach him how to compress magic, didn't you? Otherwise, you can't think of that kid resigning easily!

"Exactly."

My answers were deliberately flanked. "Why, how do you compress magic?" The voice of doubt rises, and Richarda's eyes hang in a triangle.

"Princess, you'll be dissatisfied with the other sides if you respond that sweetly to the traugot who is committing the recession!

"... sweet, is it? I thought it was the best way for everything to fit in circles."

"Where is it!?

With all voices aligned, beginning with Richarda, I leaned my neck.

"First of all, I have to say, I, I heard about Traugot's circumstances, but I didn't want to be intimate at all. I didn't feel like I wanted you to grow up or somehow regenerate."

"Then be tougher..."

"That's why I didn't want Traugot bothering me any more"

In my words, my closest eyes blinked. Haltmoot looks at me with interest. Looking around everyone, I stated my thoughts.

"It's easy to dismiss Traugot. Because that's all the reason. But if you dismiss it, it may also hurt the honor of Master Richarda and Bonifatius. I don't care about Traugot, but I don't like being scratched by those around me. If it's sweet, it's sweet for Richarda."

"Princess......"

Richarda is not the only one. The fact that I don't have a knight apprenticeship education means I don't like to punish even your father, who is the chief of the knighthood, as he did in Sikikoza. I wanted to resign as much as possible because I didn't know where to go to affect Traugot by dismissing him.

"So why did you decide to teach me how to compress magic? Wasn't that something you could only teach the trustworthy?

Brother Cornelius is making his mother's dark eyes look very similar. I inquire, looking straight back into his eyes.

"What do you think will happen to Traugot, who resigned? I don't think I can be Brother Wilfried's escort knight. You couldn't be the escort knight of Charlotte, because you couldn't be while I was asleep. If Richarda reports this upside down, she won't even be a Melchior escort knight."

"Right. I got a resignation to give me a break where I couldn't help being dismissed, so I guess it's natural."

"I guess now my gaze is only on the current method of magic compression, but I see reality right away. In addition to dimming future prospects, life here will also be mentally challenging, right?

Hartmoot nodded slowly as he stroked his jaw in my words.

"Looking at the present situation, I do not believe that Lady Rosemayne's proximity to the resigned Traugot will be intimate, and neither Lady Wilfried's proximity, nor the old Veronicans, other than that, have already had some cohesion in the last few weeks. It's going to be hard for Traugot to get in there."

That was easy for everyone to imagine, I nodded. Traugot's life ahead will never be easy. That seems to be a common perception.

"It may be inserted there into other realms… Ahrensbach, etc., and information may flow. Seeking strength Not really, it can also be weird rebellion. So we teach you how to compress magic."

"I don't really understand what that means. Why does it lead to teaching you how to compress magic?

Brunhilde tilted her neck with a seemingly puzzling look.

"That's why we need immediate bait. In order to get a way to compress magic, Traugot will be worried about behavior until the end of the House of Lords. Because making money on your own and not taking problem actions are basic conditions for teaching."

And I grinned, and Haltmoot looked at me with orange eyes.

"I'm more likely to give you your palm back after you get it, but what do you think of that?

"I am not going to teach anyone who turns to my enemies how to compress magic. That's why we're supposed to have a contract magic with everyone that says we don't turn to our enemies before we teach."

So it seems that Brother Cornelius soon realized my purpose.

"So you're telling me to teach you how to compress magic in order to tie Traugot up with contract magic?

"Exactly. I don't want to teach you how to compress magic. We want to keep Traugot tied up with contract magic so he can't turn to his enemies."

Resignation will not scratch anything but Traugot. I can limit Traugot's resentment and hostility by teaching him how to compress magic. More aristocracy with a lot of magic is desirable in itself for Aerenfest. If there's nothing hostile about it, it's outrageous.

Traugot can know how to compress that he wanted to know and quit near me that he didn't want to serve.

"I think it all fits very well."

"Princess, then there is absolutely no punishment for Traugot!

Richarda shook her head with a stern face. But now it's better not to hunt down Traugot too much. The atmosphere in the House of Lords, which is showing some cohesion beyond the faction, breaks down.

"Traugot's desire to know how to compress magic, to be strong and to be the Knights Commander doesn't come true where he worked hard. Wouldn't that be a punishment? Considering the despair when I found out I had closed my way to the future with my own hands, I don't think it's any more punishment."

Traugot's punishment is not what it is now, but what it carries for the future.

And in my words says Richarda, Punishment as any other man can understand.

"You might want to strip him of his position as a nobleman and let him reflect, even in the temple"

"... is Richarda so angry with me?

When I saw Richarda in the mood to cry, Richarda turned her eyes round as she was surprised.

"I know the response is sweet, but I'm not mad at the princess."

"Then don't just spare me the temple feed. The temple is my realm, which is the head of the temple. I don't want to think that I have to take care of Traugot, who was sent as a blue cleric because he resigned from the vicinity."

When I shook my head absolutely unwillingly, Brother Cornelius laughed small.

It's not funny. The temple is my territory. I don't know what attitude it would be if Traugot, who despises Dermuel, a junior nobleman, dealt with gray clerics and gray witches like that. Wouldn't it be pathetic for a gray cleric to serve if he were to be given the eight hits that were sent to the temple?

"And will it deprive me and Master Ferdinand of their time for their education as blue clerics? Neither I nor Master Ferdinand have the time to waste on Traugot. If you want to educate yourself, why don't you have Richarda or your uncle to the best of your job? I have nothing to do with this anymore, so don't point Traugot at me."

And Richarda lay down her eyes a little bit, saying unto my words, Behold!

"Externally, it looks like a sweet response, but you cut it off beautifully. Its cleanliness is wonderful."

Haltmoot laughed with pleasure. He smiles as satisfied as he thinks he has become.

Seeing that smile, I narrowed my eyes only a little. I'm not entirely unhappy with Haltmoot either.

"At this point, I'll tell you what, Haltmoot"

"What is it?

I opened my mouth in anticipation of Hultmoot, who had plenty of room.

"If you say it is my duty to provide me with information, come and teach me first before you publish any information you come to know"

"Master Rosemaine?

"I don't care where you got the information from. I think the skill of being able to come with that much information is great. However, all the information I had obtained was reported to my supervisor. My boss was in charge of how to use the information in it."

Compared to the way Justkus is entrusting everything to the chief cleric, Haltmut treats information that does not stain my will.

"If Haltmoot says it's information he's got for me, I'll decide how to handle it and when to publish it. If Haltmoot only releases information that is convenient to him, it is not for me or my duty as a sidekick."

Haltmut, with a hazy look on his face, rises once, kneeling on the spot and drooling his head.

"I remember the liver."

Thus one side was reduced, and my post-meal reading time was greatly reduced, and the discussion was over.
