Ascendance of a Bookworm

Presentation of the Lords' Meeting

"It still didn't end without a thing..."

To the clergyman who exhales such a sigh at the dinner table, Bonifatius says, "Grune is a warcraft that must be crusaded at any rate. Aren't you glad you discovered it early," he replied sayingly. At the same time, the lack of collaboration between the cavalier apprentices is more problematic than the fact that Grune came out, grumbles. Wilfried nodded loudly at the grunt and agreed.

"I also didn't really know what was wrong with the Knight Apprentices until I saw what was going on today. Like Rosemayne said, I think it's important to collaborate on a knight apprenticeship. Doesn't it take practice to protect someone?

"So how about you go collect while you protect your civilian apprenticeship? It can be a knight apprenticeship practice, and you can collect your own civilian apprenticeships. And I want the civilian apprentice to have a sense of self-defense or a sense of being protected."

"What do you mean, Rosemaine?

He saw me so that the chief clergyman could not comprehend well. I will explain the actions of the civil servants when Grune came out.

"If you can't prepare the horseman for immediate movement, set up a stamp, or at least do enough to follow the instructions of the escort knights, you will be abandoned by the escort knights who protect the Lords clan in times of need in a civilian who is too unfamiliar with the raid. … I think getting used to it is important."

"Hmm...... Indeed, Rosemaine was unexpectedly able to act calmly when Grune left."

I have been relative to the beast many times in Yurevé's material collection. In addition to that, I have been raided several times, so I am getting used to acting with escort knights, although I am not happy.

"In addition to knight apprenticeships, we also train civilian apprenticeships to such an extent that they don't fall into a foot clump...? It would also be better to prioritize this from the civilian members of the Lords' clan"

"I don't mind Master Bonifatius training his knight apprenticeship or civilian apprenticeship, but it would be better if the Knights explored the woods first if there were no other warcraft to be crusaded by Grune. If you hold all that foot and hand, you will have trouble when a strong Warcraft comes out."

The word of the clergyman led the Knights to explore the woods for a few days, and the apprenticeship training was closed for a few days.

After the rest of the day, the civilians also decided to engage in training, and Philine, who listened, was turning bright blue. Given the rate of previous raids, my proximity is very likely to involve me, so it would be better if Filine also had the means to defend herself. If you're not conscious of running, you can't be aggressive because it's proven in the woods.

In the days of my training off, I decided to work with my neighbors in the castle workshop to make recovery pills. The watchman is the chief cleric. Then, simmer the pan and show it and teach the neighbors the fourth stage of magic compression.

After all, it seems that noble boys and ladies have never cooked on their own, and this is the first time they have seen the task of boiling on fire. He looked at the phenomenon of decreased moisture and decreased song (kasa) with interest.

"Dear Ferdinand, in your magic compression lecture, Dr. Hirschühl said to boil your pills, but why do you not know that advanced aristocrats and senior year haltmuts also boil?

"There are medicines that are more potent when boiled, but probably because they are not very common"

Apparently with ingredients in the mixing pan and all the magic stirring ingredients, they rarely boil either. At least they're not to the extent that they can be taught in lectures.

... I can't believe I taught freshmen how to make drugs that aren't very common, as an image of magic compression. No, sure, if it helps, I guess I was just teaching you how to do it.

I taught everyone the fourth stage of magic compression, and at the same time I decided to teach Filine how to magic compress. Because Philine, a lower nobleman and the lowest foundational magic in the vicinity, will need a lot of effort.

Although the money is fine because of what I earned in the House of Lords, I was a little worried about what to do with contract magic. It's too expensive to use contract magic that ranges across the country on one Filine. So, just like Dermuel, the next time he decides to get others to sign a contract with him when he teaches, he decides, for one thing, to keep only contract magic in effect within Aerenfest. Because I don't expect Filine to talk Bella Bella, but it's important to show that she exercised contract witchcraft against others.

As such, it was time for the Lords' Conference to end as the proximates went instead to train, make restorative medicines, including for the civilians trained in the materials they had collected, practice fesh peels, embroider with the resellers and Brunhilde in Schwartz's costumes, and were asked various questions about blessings by Haltmoot and rehab.

"Welcome back"

"You're all here to pick me up."

My adoptive mother laughs at Nicole when she sees Wilfried, Charlotte and me waiting in line in front of the room where the transfer team is located. My adoptive father laughed, "The more detailed story is tomorrow's debriefing. They are also present," he said.

The chief cleric was summoned to the dormitory of the House of Lords several times, and it seemed that the Norberts, the backward nexus, had been summoned, so the lords and their wives returned with a smile, worried about what the hell it had been, but not showing fatigue.

"Welcome back, Father"

"Oh, I'm back now. Rosemaine's looking good."

Speaking to his father, who was accompanying him as chief of the knighthood, his father faintly smiled at his mouth. He looks more tired of his father than his adoptive father. Is something wrong?

As he looked up worried, his father urged him to "leave the room after this, as more and more escort knights, sidelines, and civilians return".

Then the next day I head to the conference room where the debriefing will take place with Wilfried and Charlotte. Apparently, the Lords' clan has to attend debriefing sessions at the Lords' Council because of their age to head to the House of Lords. Because the outcome of the Lords' Conference will be a major part of their own House of Lords life.

Me not present at the last debriefing because I was immersed in Jurevé, and Charlotte, whose first House of Lords this winter will be, this will be my first participation.

"Would this year's ranking have been determined? Looking forward to it."

I walk confidently laughing that Wilfried "should be up there than he was last year". And I stayed on the horseman, and said, I hope you are up. With a nervous face to his first debriefing, Charlotte walked with few words and arrived in the conference room where the debriefing would take place.

It is a meeting of the Lords' clan and their proximity, the Knights, and the upper echelons of the civil service. Civilians and sidelines begin to move when they get to the seats that are set in a conference room where a large number of people gather. After everyone was ready, the lords came in.

"Report on the Lords' Meeting. Since there have been major changes this year, there are more contacts than usual. Perhaps more and more Aerenfest will continue to gain influence and change. I don't want to miss this opportunity and I want to improve my ranking as much as possible. I want everyone to cooperate."

At the debriefing, which began with such adoptive father's words, the ranking of the year was first announced by the adoptive father's civil servants. They say Aerenfest is 10th. The next House of Lords will use doors and rooms number 10. This, they say, is the highest ranking given Aerenfest's ranking so far.

"My performance in the House of Lords improved considerably. To be honest, if only the House of Lords' grades would have ranked a little higher"

However, compared to the House of Lords scores, Aerenfest's influence is still low where few people have gone to the centre and the epidemic has begun to spread. As a result, the ranking of the territory seems to have settled to 10th place.

"If we interact well with the merchants coming from other territories this year, we will be able to improve our rankings even further next year. It's important to make a smooth deal and not end it with a transient epidemic, but to anchor the epidemic and disseminate a new one."

From my adoptive father's hot valve, I wonder if he has been told by some territory of a dislike such as "transient such as the Ehrenfest epidemic". Without the ever patchy fashion, I can't help but think so. Especially if that's what you'll want to say about territories that are close in rank or that have been plucked by Aerenfest this year.

However, the word seems to have inspired my adoptive father, who hates losing. He looked around the conference room with a crisp face, and his adoptive father held his fist in a good way.

"New paper has now been developed one after the other at Aerenfest and preparations are under way for the printing industry. Use this as a weapon for further superiority!

A round of applause arose for the declaration of the adoptive father. Aerenfest, now known as One-Country, has been twitching up its ranking over the years, rising from 13th to 10th here. Older people who knew Aerenfest well, who had always wandered down the bottom, blew their faces gladly.

"In order to maintain this ranking, I urge you to continue your efforts to maintain your grades, focusing on the Lordship Candidates who belong to the House of Lords. In order to improve our grades, we need the efforts of our children and, at the same time, our cooperation as adults. Explain this in detail, Ferdinand."

The clergyman, who was gazed at by his adoptive father, nodded once and stood up. And turn your gaze to everyone in the conference room.

"I heard from the Lords candidates about the House of Lords that after the coup d 'état, many teachers were replaced and there was a lot of change in the course of the lecture. It seems most significant that in the Cavalier Apprenticeship course, treasure stealing ditters have changed into speedy competing ditters"

Take the example of the part that touches everyone's eyes: the territorial rivalry, and the clergyman will elaborate on how the changes in that course have changed what the students learn and what the condition is of the knights who have newly graduated from the House of Lords.

"Now, in order to bridge the difference, the Knights are offering special training for newcomers and knight apprentices. The distance between a civilian and a knight seems to be a long way off because of the treasure theft ditter."

Bearing in mind that the territory has changed completely from the time when we have worked together to install magic equipment and create restorative drugs, the chief clergyman told us that he wanted newcomers to be trained in each department.

The civilians also seemed to notice changes in the newcomers, "I see," he nodded. Apparently, the treasure theft ditter, which was obsolete due to the lack of small territory numbers, was quite important in education.

"Now let me report on the newly decided deal. As we were discussing earlier, we decided on new epidemic counterparties in Central and Classenburg."

A report by a civilian began.

Apparently, even in the Lords' Conference, the fashion appeal was successful there. They were also happy to sell new recipes with hair decorations, linseens, vegetable paper, and meals, and cattle curls recipes to territories they couldn't trade.

"Master Rosemayne came by handing over the named checklist to two territories. Civilians leave the other half of the bill with the guild chief of the commercial guild, so that he can respond properly to the merchants of the other realms that are to come"

... Ah, the nonsave paper said first because the material name comes forward, but in the end, it turned out to be a piece of paper.

"There were also numerous territories that wanted to make deals next year. For this reason, we want to increase the number of workshops and manage to increase the number of trading partners. We also have to talk to the Commercial Guild Director about the area."

I felt impotent and hastily open my mouth to the civilian to increase the workshop in large quantities while the other realms were concerned.

"Um, Lincoln isn't that hard to make, so if you add too many workshops, you're more likely to have a lot of people out there who don't need a workshop and get into the job when you can build one on another territory. There's something else to spread out this time, something to make it fashionable from Aerenfest, so I can't help but increase all the Lincian workshops, and I can't help but increase all the hair decorating workshops. Take care not to increase the number of workshops so that in a few years there will be a massive increase in unemployment"

Civilians looked strange in my opinion.

"If there's anything else that makes it popular, if the phosphor epidemic is over, shouldn't civilians be allowed to make the following?

Indeed, if Lincoln's method is no longer available for sale in other territories, we must make other items. But there's no way I can change my job that easily.

"With this job gone, it's easy to say, do another job, but it's not easy to do. Since you no longer work as a civilian, can you work enough as a knight to be told to start working as a knight tomorrow? If it's another job that a civilian is doing. Still, you can't do a different job in the field. It's the same for people in Lower Town, so think about it and increase the number of workshops."

"... Yes, sir."

As for the Lower Town, the Civilian nodded slowly, looking at me determined that if I did not become as jetty as possible.

"Next, with regard to the application that would be of most interest at Aerenfest, the engagement of Wilfried and Rosemaine..."

In the words of my adoptive father, the atmosphere in the conference room tightened in an instant. It is in some ways the most relevant issue to our lives, such as the increase or decrease in influence between factions. I can see everyone listening in more than talking about territorial ranking.

When the territory was united, and I had to deal with all sorts of things, I sighed that factional strife or not. I suppose that's all the more true in the House of Lords because it was able to deflect its gaze from competing against other territories than factional strife.

... Just like the House of Lords, I wonder if I can manage to keep an eye on the outside and wrap it up somewhat inside Aerenfest?

His adoptive father opened his mouth looking around the conference room with a deep green eye as more than half of the nobles who did not go about the Lords' Conference swallowed their solitary spit and watched.

"Approval was given by the King. Now the engagement is officially under investigation. Just as I think anything that challenges the King's decision is the same."

This prevented Risegang, as well as some of the old Veronicans, from expressively complaining. Once the engagement is finalized, I seem to have begun to think about how I have to move next. I feel like my eyes have changed.

... I don't think I can afford to be in contention within Aerenfest.

"Then there is one more thing to report regarding the engagement that the King's approval has been given. It is the engagement of Prince Anastasius and Lady Eglantine, the Lord's Candidate of Classenburg. This engagement set Prince Anastasius under Prince Gigisvalt. As royalty, they are committed to moving the royal magic apparatus that was stopping them from moving, so that they can rule over the central jurisdiction that was expanding."

Anastasius and Eglantine seem to have been safely approved for engagement. By a coup d 'état, they're going to rule the direct jurisdiction that was absorbed in the center and expanding. I understood that he would remain royal to handle magic equipment, and would be treated like a central gibbet.

For one thing, I found out Anastasius took a step off the next throne, but what the hell does that have to do with it?

I noticed that I had a look that my surroundings didn't think about at all. Because our lives have so far had little to do with royal trends, our surroundings seem less interested than our engagements.

"Then again, this is another engagement case. The offer from Arlensbach led to the marriage being decided. Lamprecht and Freuden, will welcome these two brides into Aerenfest"

The meeting room was deliberately deflected. Earl Bindebalt, a nobleman of Earlensbach, was thorough to enter the city of Aerenfest without permission, to attack me and the clergyman, or to prevent private soldiers in the possession of Earl Bindebalt from having any interaction with Earlensbach.

And because of the lack of magic, Aub Aerenfest, who had previously rejected the application for marriage, spoken out about marrying Arlensbach nobles, the surprise would come naturally.

"The month has come since the first application, so put it in as soon as possible, so at the end of this summer, two brides will come from Arlensbach"

That's what my adoptive father's eyes seemed more and more like. The only reason the celebration doesn't sound like a happy story at all is maybe because Arlensbach pushed me. I don't think you can say you don't want to accept it if the upper realm tells you to send out two brides.

... Especially since we're turning down a deal this year.

It would be a fabric stone looking ahead to next year's deal. And maybe you must be an infiltrator to get inside Aerenfest. Because Brother Lamprecht's bride would be in a position to have a wealth of information about me: the Knights Commander, the mother who binds the printing industry, Wilfried, and my sister.

... Your father's back. He's snooping.

Looks like we're in a very difficult situation. Brother Lamprecht also looks unhappy to let go, even if he decides to marry.

According to his adoptive father, the fact that it is a marriage carried out on the offer of Aub Ahrensbach, the bride of Freuden, an intermediate aristocrat, regardless, and the fact that Brother Lamprecht's bride is Aub Ahrensbach's niece, taking into account the tensions between the territories, led to the arrival of relatives of each other and both lord clans at the territorial boundaries for a brief ceremony on the spot.

"Lamprecht and Freuden, two parent brothers, and then, as the temple chief and the clergyman prepare"

Unlike Brother Lamprecht, who clouds his face, his face seeped delightful colors all around him. Those who join the old Veronicans, those who want to interact with Arlensbach. In addition to the absence of the flag heads, they would also be revitalized by this marriage, even though they had shredded the influence of the old Veronicans little by little due to fashion and magic compression. Faction fighting within Aerenfest must reignite.

... I'd like to rank Aerenfest up soon. The pressure from above is a pain in the ass, honestly.

When I wondered if Brother Lamprecht's marriage would ruin him again in Aerenfest, all I could get was a sigh of relief.

The debriefing is over and the blurring returns to the conference room on purpose. There have really been a lot of reports and I know very well that Aerenfest is changing dramatically.

Everyone leaves the room with a bright expression.

"Rosemayne, Ferdinand, the others, etc. are moving to my office. I need to talk to the temple chief and the clergyman."

Me and the chief cleric were called by my adoptive father to move to the Lord's office. The proximities follow each other.

There was a fine book in my adoptive father's office and a letter on it. As I am blinded by the book, my adoptive father lightly narrows his eyes and looks upon the book.

"This is a deposit from Dunkelferger. Civilian apprenticeship, treat it politely, and bring it back to your room."

...... Dear Hannelore, I love it!

While I tremble with emotion, I carefully wrap the book in the cloth that Hartmoot and Filine were preparing for me as a civilian.

"We're going to talk a little bit about the star knot ritual. No need for proximity to talk about rituals. Like it's a little down."

Payments are made, and not only from my side from the office, but from my adoptive father's side as well. Only the adoptive father, your father, the clergyman and my four remained on this occasion.

Gachari and the door closed, and the footsteps moving around became farther away, while my adoptive father collapsed on the desk.

"My adoptive father?

"I'm tired, Rosemaine. I've never had such a tiring Lords' Conference. It's been harder than the first Lords' Conference."

He had a lord-like majesty and was busy because of the rising status of the territory, in front of encouraging the civilians, he tried not to show a tired look or stupidity, but when the neighbors were gone, he switched switches.

Until earlier, the lord-like attitude was nowhere, and I lay down on my desk and began to mumble, "I don't like it anymore".

"I'm really glad that Ferdinand was advised by the King to keep his engagement approved before deciding on a fashionable deal. Classenburg is going to tell the next lord's Second Lady if she wants Rosemayne, and Drevanhell wants to continue to deepen her relationship because her daughters are close to each other, and her sons are close to each other, and Flavelturk is Lüdiger and Rosemayne are good old? I'm telling you, Arlensbach seemed to be after Wilfried as his son-in-law, and without the King's approval, he would never have shaken it."

He seemed to be in a very difficult state of contour.

It seems that through Eglantine, Krassenburg, who knows that I hold fashion and compose, has been discussing with the Second Lady of the next lord.

"That's the Great Territories, I had to think. I didn't know you'd try to take in Rosemaine's peculiarities, even with little interaction..."

Your father also shook his head, tired of just standing behind Zilvester. One after the other, the fringe was brought in from the Great Territories, and they were feeling painful in their stomachs.

"When the hell did you get along with Drevanhell? I don't think it was nearly up to Yustox's report either..."

"Drevanhell had little interaction. I was introduced to Master Eglantine at a tea party I hosted, and I just started interacting, right? Since Master Eglantine has graduated, we expect more interaction from now on."

She was definitely a sister named Adolphine. I believe there will be more interaction because I will be an asylum converted into Eglantine in the forthcoming House of Lords.

"Right, more"

My adoptive father dropped his shoulder and exhaled heavily.

"Drevanhel is a land where civilians excel and often create unusual sorcery equipment. Aub Drevanhel and his proximity had shown interest in the matchmaking paper. As for magic tools, they have a thin magic response, and even lower nobility seems to be able to make them easily, and it's great that they're easy to use without any problems for the civilian population."

He was intrigued by who created it and how it was made, and asked me to give it up. "Because it's still rare even in Aerenfest, this time I've only brought in enough to give it to the center of the deal and to Crassenburg," he said, avoiding because the material would also be revealed if they checked the ledger.

"We didn't get much information in the Lords' Council, so I think we'll have more contact with Drevanhell in the House of Lords."

"... is it not a good idea to get along?

"No, you should stay close. It's important to get along with Crassenburg, Dunkelferger, Drevanhell and every territory. Can you do that?"

Can you do that? There's no way I can say I can "do it" with myself when I've been told so many times that I'm anxious to socialize. With his mouth shut without even being able to say "I can't," the chief cleric slaps his temple with a ton of fingertips.

"Two brides came from Arlensbach and now that we don't know how Arlensbach works, it's better to have more sources and top allies. Even if you think you're on my side, you can't be alarmed..."

My adoptive father snorted deeply at the word of the chief cleric.

"What Rosemaine should be particularly aware of is the Dunkelferger holding the book, which is their weakness. He was promising to lend Rosemayne a book, and Aub Dunkelferger is purposefully bringing it to us to wish for a deal next year, shielding exchanges between his daughters, who are friends in lending precious books. Probably Dunkelferger's Lordship Candidate is quite a connoisseur."

Be careful if you feed the book, because you know I can fish, my adoptive father said.

There is something I can say for sure, although I have no idea whether such a ploy is devised with Hannelore's laid-back appearance.

"Me, my fellow book lover Hannelore, loves it, and in sophomore year I plan on putting on a matching armband with Hannelore to work as a librarian together, how do I be aware?

As I tilted my neck, my adoptive father moaned with his head once he opened his eyes wide.

"Is Rosemaine already in your hands?... the Great Territories are horrible."
