Ascendance of a Bookworm

Theodore's treatment and discussion with the Plantan Chamber of Commerce

As soon as I returned to the room, I was angry from Richarda regarding my voice to Theodore, Eudit's brother, as the only proximity to the House of Lords. First, when Eudit says, "We must discuss it thoroughly and root for it before introducing our relatives to the princess! It will be annoying for both sides".

Before introducing him as a side candidate, he has a lot to root for, such as whether he's willing to serve, how he's been doing his job, who he can entrust his job to, and if he's a minor, what his parents' intentions are.

Brunhilde introduced me to Bertilde after having seen me as the Lord over the course of a year, seeing how Bertilde encouraged practice under his mother, and also seeing how he would expand his printing business in Grechelle.

But Eudit rode his ass horse, knowing Brunhilde had been allowed to introduce him, thinking that he was the same. But that's just an act of causing trouble around you because of a lack of rooting.

"The princess had made it clear that she wanted to respect Theodore's wishes, so she would not be forced to serve them nearby, but if you ordered her to be nearby, Theodore would have stopped fulfilling her wishes."

There are now only a limited number of children of age who are able to flank in the House of Lords, especially as the year of the Lordship Candidate is too close. It is not uncommon for Theodore's opinion, whose identity is below, to be ignored.

"Sorry"

When Eudit drops his shoulder and apologizes, "Be very careful from now on," Richarda smiles at Eudit with a slight loosening of her harsh expression.

After finishing his sermon to Eudit, Richarda turned to me with a curl. I already look scared then.

"You shouldn't talk to the princess thoughtfully, I've told you many times! We have to decide what to do in the future, more than we have made clear in front of the other children when we treat Theodore as a sidekick in the House of Lords. You and Dear Gilvester and Ferdinand Boy have been discussing this often!

Richarda reported to the guardians, and I was summoned to my adoptive father's office. The most open mouth was the clergyman with the most swordswallowing face.

"Well, I got a report from Richarda, saying it's just a side of the House of Lords? What the hell are you thinking?

"Whatever you say... I once referred to Master Ferdinand"

"What is my imitation?

The chief cleric frowns like he doesn't know why.

"Master Ferdinand is only going to take you to the temple. Isn't there only two sides of your stomach, Eckhardt and Justkus, who use your adoptive father's clerk in the castle or especially when you need a clerk who isn't near you? Even in the territorial rivalry, they were taking a few from the Knights to preserve their decency, but they're not near Master Ferdinand's side, are they?

Though a few knights stood behind us when we were sitting and making tea in a territorial rivalry, I was somewhat of a man who had seen his face and not one with whom the chief cleric was always taking him. In fact, since the beginning of the Tarnisbefalen crusade at the awards ceremony, the knights should have given priority to the protection of the lords and wives, leaving Brother Eckhardt the only escort knight the clergyman had with him.

"Master Ferdinand is also a Lordship candidate, so there must have been a lot of proximity to the House of Lords period, right? What are they doing now? If it is only necessary, why don't I bring the House of Lords alone?"

I tried to imitate the guardian because he told me I couldn't share the proximity with Merhior, when I said, the chief cleric sighed and shook his head.

"... me and you are not"

"What's the difference? To be honest, if I could only get my body in the House of Lords, that would be fine. I plan to raise about a few more belly-hearted civilians, but there's plenty more."

Next to the clergyman's badly disgusting face, your father droops, "Do you not imitate all the bad things about the guardian," Richarda holds onto his forehead, and his adoptive father laughs compared to me and the clergyman.

"Hahaha, isn't it exactly the same as Ferdinand said that you should just take care of your physique? You have to grow up close so that you can be an example to Rosemaine."

"The proximity of my House of Lords days is mostly the old Veronicans, who are on alert. I'm free to choose. Don't think like you. And then there was no drunken man who wanted to come near me when I was in the temple."

From now on, I have been promised to be the Lady of the Lords, and although I was told that I and the Chief Cleric would be in a different position without worries about the future, I don't think it would change much in terms of the few people who would be the subject of nearby.

"Though you say that Master Ferdinand is free to choose, he does not overlap with Brother Wilfried, Charlotte and Merhior, nor is he a former Veronican, and few senior or intermediate aristocrats attend the House of Lords. Who should I raise? If you have a candidate, please name them."

The children's room today was dominated by Vilfriet and Charlotte while I slept in Jurevé, so the major senior aristocratic children are divided into one another by gender. Other than that, it is about those identified by the adoptive mother and voiced as proximate to Merhior and those who are not covered from the outset by Richarda in the former Veronicans, those who are lower nobles and not included from the outset in the subject of the proximity candidate of the Lords' clan, and who, due to individual circumstances, declined at the time of the examination.

I hear there were few odd children who wanted to be near me who didn't know when to wake up. He said Haltmut and Brunhilde remained because he saw and knew my revelations and activities in the children's room with his own eyes.

It seems that the junior classmates who did not deal with me were refused during the interview phase, and it was said that if only the upper classmates prepared their candidates, I would choose them myself after they were actually needed. But if I could be honest with you, I would have liked the lower classmates to have left a little behind as my side candidate, not just the upper classmates.

"At the point where I can be put near you, I'm not an old Veronican, so it would be good to use Theodore all the time, not just in the House of Lords. The House of Lords is the only place you can get into trouble."

"Theodore said he wanted to be useful to Geebe Kilnberga by becoming a knight he could use for Geebe Kilnberga in the future, just like his own father. I want to support that dream, so if I have to use it all the time, I won't sidestep Theodore."

Sure, I may have mentioned trouble, but I want you to take care of Theodore's future dreams. At least you don't want me to crush you.

"Regardless of my personal purpose and motives, Richarda also said at Traugot that if you have a mindset to serve me and work properly, that would be fine. If Theodore will set me up as Lord in the House of Lords, I don't think that would be a problem. If we exchange arrangements with the House of Lords first, if we try to get it close, it won't fit and I don't think there's much more to it than dismissing it later."

I have trouble choosing just the blood muscles to expand just like Traugot. At the very least, I'd prefer a child who serves me properly just for the duration of the House of Lords. My adoptive father slowly stroked his jaw and exhaled as I stared at the chief cleric while claiming so.

"Don't stare at each other like that, both of you. Both have a point. As Ferdinand fears, Rosemaine must nurture her side for the future. But Rosemayne is right, there are few children who can now be near the side of the Lords clan. Adults and older children feel and understand Rosemaine's performance as she slept for two years, but she doesn't look like a young child."

With that said, it's just the House of Lords, or my adoptive father puts his arms together and thinks with a serious face. The Chief Cleric turned out to be a terrible disgust.

"Aub Aerenfest. You're not going to give me permission?

"This proposal is still acceptable compared to what Rosemaine has previously proposed, sharing the proximity with Merhior. Didn't I?"

It seems too dangerous for Melchior to share his proximity because if he serves both of them at the same time, he will really compare the Lord.

"But the Lordship Candidate and Geebe are different. It's hard to be comparable, and being trained by Rosemaine in the House of Lords is not a bad story for Geebe Kilnberga. He seemed to care less about Rosemaine than Grechelle and Haldenzel."

Even if other Geebes wanted to offer their children as a limited-time side to have a connection with the Lords clan, it wouldn't be particularly problematic, my adoptive father said, because it's the Lords clan that decides whether or not to take it.

"Even with regard to magic compression, anyone who is listed as a proximate candidate for the Lords' clan should be subject anyway. It's not like making a blink. However, if the treatment is exactly the same near the time-limited side and near the normal side, there could be dissatisfaction somewhere. Unless Rosemaine can handle the sides well, we're gonna have a big deal later."

I snorted cocklessly at the words of my adoptive father.

"Then I have another concern. The woman's side resigns after getting married. Keep that in mind, or you'll get in trouble if you don't try to pick sides. They'll stay here as Lady Lords."

Typically, a female lord candidate marries a lord candidate from another realm or a senior nobleman from the same territory. If he is to be married to another territory, a small number of sides are attached to accompany him, but if he is to be married to a senior nobleman, he is no longer of the Lords' clan, so the sides are dismissed.

But I will not dismiss my side, because I am my adopted daughter, and I will be the Lady of the Lords. I was told to be old enough for my children to enter the House of Lords, like my mother and Otilier, so that the women of my age returning to work would also set their sides in perspective.

... I know that, but a woman of her age returning to work can't be a sidekick in the House of Lords, and the women of those years I know are mostly members of the "Making Love Stories" led by your mother, right? I can't collapse to create a new book, but what do I do?

As a result of discussions between my adoptive father and Geebe Kilnberga, with regard to sidelining Theodore only during the House of Lords, I was granted the condition that Gutenberg be dispatched to Kilnberga next year.

The day I sold my Plantan Chamber of Commerce book at the castle, I was contacted by my adoptive father's clerk in a letter bird, so I was striving to promote it in the children's room. This year's eye-catching product of the book printed at the Rosemaine Workshop is the Knight's Tale of Arlensbach, which sums up stories we have heard from Aurelia. I'm very excited to hear more stories about other territories next year.

"Is that the story of another realm? I'm very excited about that."

"I read the House of Lords story and wanted to go to the House of Lords as soon as possible."

Little ones, that said, if they're poorly tall, they're being pulled out, but they look cute laughing briskly and fun.

"Reading Aerenfest books also shows signs of fashion in the House of Lords. You should read it carefully before you start school. And if you can borrow with your friends, you'll be able to read a lot of books."

Books are just expensive, so there aren't many houses you can buy. If you can buy a variety of pieces to replace and read each other, Plantan Chamber of Commerce sales may fall, but there will be more books for each and every one of you to read.

To be honest, even with more books, few aristocrats in Aerenfest have enough money to buy everything. If the Plantan Chamber of Commerce intends to increase the sales of the book, it must be sold to other territories.

...... I have to report to Mr. Benno that there is a meeting at the Lords' Conference with Dunkelferger about printed materials.

Meetings with the Plantan Chamber of Commerce are included on the morning of the launch. It's an annual thing, so I don't need a big meeting when it comes to selling at the castle. But this time we have a meeting in Haldenzel and Grechel to consign the printed book, so we have to be present at it and keep an eye out for Benno not to come too far from Geebe so that the Plantan Chamber of Commerce is not too disadvantaged.

"Princess, it's time for your appointment with the Plantain Chamber of Commerce."

That is what Richarda told me, and I took the civilians out of my chambers. There's Charlotte, and under the stairs you can see Vilfleet waiting.

"You also hold meetings with the Plantan Chamber of Commerce for the sale of books. I've asked your sister's knight to contact me, but then I ended up with your sister's escort knight in charge of the children's room, so it's my first time attending a meeting."

He also heard from the Chief Cleric that Darmuel was working pretty hard for me while I slept. But according to Charlotte, who actually worked hard to run the children's room, my escort knight just split the work for me.

"That was helpful then," Charlotte laughs as she looks back at Dermuel. I looked up from the Lesser Bus at the fearful Darmuel, and I stretched out my chest.

"Darmuel is an escort knight who is also good at civilian work and helps well in the temple. Dear Ferdinand, it's also Dermuel who often assigns jobs."

"I guess so. We were also impressed by the precise way in which we assigned jobs and gave instructions."

Charlotte, who had no idea what to do, could not even give instructions to his side. My escort knights helped me there, he says.

"Your sister's escort knights were all very surprised to do their civilian work precisely."

I sighed softly after I turned my gaze to Angelica as to what I had replied to Charlotte, who would see me with respect.

When we arrived in the room, Guibe and the Plantain Chamber of Commerce had already discussed it. Benno, Marc and Damian are coming from the Plantan Chamber of Commerce.

After exchanging long, aristocratic greetings and making sure they were the same as last year and had no particular problems, Damien left the room with the side servants of the children's room to prepare.

"With regard to selling books made outside the Rosemaine workshop......"

Benno begins his explanations as can be seen by the first Vilfleet and Charlotte civilians present. This time it is a discussion on commission when selling books made in their respective territories by Ghibe Haldenzel and Ghibe Grechel.

Until now, it was mostly made in the Rosemaine workshop, so it wasn't particularly necessary. However, since there will be more printing workshops everywhere from now on, we must make a good decision. All in all, there will be more stores selling books, but now the Plantain Chamber of Commerce is in charge of everything and will be the focal point for selling them to other territories in the future.

If you bring in a book that is a product, if the Plantan Chamber of Commerce goes to pick it up, if you sell it in a castle, if you store the product in a store, etc., I will make a fine decision, assuming a number of conditions.

"Just bringing it in here is going to change the price a lot, isn't it?

"Transportation costs are huge. If you don't add transport costs to your goods, you won't benefit."

Look like Geebe Grechel explores Benno with a suspicious gaze. I opened my mouth in the face of Geebe and the others, laughing with a nickel.

"Geebe can use a transfer formation to carry books to the castle, but transportation costs the most for civilians whose main means of transport will be ships or carriages. The distance, as well as how well the road to Aerenfest is maintained, changes the speed at which it travels. That naturally changes the amount. That's why Haldenzel is higher than Grechel."

If you carry the book with you to the castle with the transfer team you use when collecting taxes, you'll need magic, but it won't cost you any money. If civilians are used to carry Gotgoto by carriage, there is a possibility of damage, and profits cannot be expected unless the cost of transport is increased. Geebe and the others nodded as they were convinced by my explanation.

"It's only good now that we have enough to send with the levy, but from now on, when the book starts to increase, there will be transport problems"

Mothers Printed a book made by The Love Story Making Team, and Geebe Haldenzel, which sells comfortably, turned his face to the transport issue.

"We are now letting them study improvements to the metastatic formation in order to transport it with a little less magic. There should be more printing workshops, and by the time we can have printing societies everywhere, we can transport them without so much magic."

"You have a lot ahead of you."

"When were you letting me do that kind of research?

Unlike the clergyman, Geebe and Wilfried, who look out for me in surprise, don't seem to realize that the purpose of the study is to deliver a bill to me. I don't say anything extra, I deepen my grin.

"I think it's okay to leave it to you, because what you're researching is an apprentice that Master Ferdinand recognizes"

Having been satisfied with the transport costs, the contract for the consignment fee was successfully concluded. I turn my gaze to Gibe and the others, Wilfried and Charlotte, looking around the room with a loose sense of tension.

"Now that we're done discussing Geebe and the Plantan Chamber of Commerce, you can leave the room with both Geebe and Brother Wilfried, Charlotte."

"What do you do with Rosemaine?

Glow green eyes as Wilfried compares me to the Plantan Chamber of Commerce.

"I still need to talk to the Plantan Chamber of Commerce. I have to keep in touch about my upcoming appointments, and I have other personal questions."

I have to ask you about the inclusion of the daughter of a merchant in Classenburg as Dalua, and if time permits, about the situation in Gutenberg.

"Is the upcoming appointment like a troubling story for me to ask?

"No. If you're interested and time permits, please join us"

"If it's about printing, I'd like to hear it, too."

That's what Wilfried and Geebe Haldenzel said. They can do a lot of personal talking that went into it, but there's no reason to say no. I acknowledge everyone's presence and turn again to Benno.

"With borrowed and photocopied in the House of Lords and civilian apprentices gathering stories from other realms, we are likely to expand the books we have printed in the House of Lords from next year"

"From the House of Lords next year, right?

I can see all kinds of calculations being cared for in Benno's head. I nodded one.

"It will actually be the next summer to sell it out. The Bible picture books will be directly linked to your accomplishments in the House of Lords, so there are no plans to expand them yet. Get ready around knight stories and love stories. As far as how I reacted in the House of Lords this year, I felt good."

Benno's reddish-brown eyes bring forth a carnivorous light that captures his prey. The tingling and the air tightened, and the edge of my lips also rose unexpectedly in an exchange that looked to my interests as a merchant.

"The arrangements for buying and selling books are scheduled for Aub to talk to Dunkelferger at the Lords' Conference, and will take the form of contracts with other territories, based on the arrangements decided there. Let's discuss what kind of arrangement we'd like to have before the Lords' Meeting."

I can't leave it to my neglected adoptive father's clerk regarding printing. We have to make up a slap table in advance about the conditions and arrangements to be put out to Dunkelferger.

"Does Master Rosemayne book stories collected from other territories?

I nodded heavily at the inquiry of Geebe Haldenzel.

"Yep. Most of Aerenfest's knight stories are also based on stories I gathered from my children in the children's room. And the kids were extraordinarily happy with the book with their story. If you sell it to another territory, I think it would be more interesting to have stories about that territory."

"I see."

Then Geebe Haldenzel muttered, "Do you also need love stories from other realms? Though the words harsh faces and love stories don't fit, he seems to think of love stories as a product to fully benefit.

It seems that Guibe Haldenzel is also communicating with the civilian population. Although Guibe Haldenzel is immediately giving thought to their printing, Guibe Grechel doesn't seem to know very well yet. I'm just sitting there with a difficult face.

"Haldenzel prints books written by Elvira and the others, so I think we have a lot of manuscripts to print. I don't think Grechelle has anyone yet to write a mesmerizing piece, so if you don't mind, why don't you print the stories you've collected here?

I also want to make a collection of Knight Tales of Jürgenschmidt collected from other realms, but I also want to print Ditter stories of Röderich. We talk more now, and there are so few printing workshops. It would be very helpful if Grechelle could pick up some of them. When I said so, Geebe Grechelle looked up like a hack and ate, "Let me print it," he said.

"And then, Master Rosemaine. This is a report from Gutenberg. According to Johann, Grechelle's blacksmiths seem to be growing up to feel good. I heard I'd give it back in the spring. Then, according to Zach, Master Rosemayne finished what he ordered. He asked me if I could enter the temple room or the castle room."

It would be the mattress that Zach made me. I laugh small at the completion of my comfortable bed.

"I want you to let me in the temple. Learn more when you report your accounts."

"Yes, I did. Finally, I am referring to a merchant in Classenburg who is to be kept here for a year…"

I cut out a story about Carlin from Benno before I asked.

"Working as a Dalua is fantastic. There are a number of things that impress me that you are a merchant in a large territory, and we are also considering incorporating them. And from the story on the way from Classenburg to Aerenfest, we also got information on other realms. I hope I can help you, Master Rosemayne."

Marc gives away a bunch of paper all the time. Haltmoot received that. I just read the material I received from Haltmoot in parallel, but I can see that it's not just the Plantain Chamber of Commerce, but also the information I got from the guild manager and the shopkeepers at the big store is organized and listed.

"It helps, Benno. Aub Aerenfest will be delighted."

With all these eyes, there's no way I can tell you any more personal stories I've penetrated. I will not mention my friendship with Carlin, but will only receive the material.

"Does Master Rosemayne also get information from civilians?

Geebe Grechelle blinked several times watching me and Benno interact. Grechelle is firmly divided between the aristocratic city and the lower town. I'm sure you never thought about getting information from civilians before.

"Merchants are connected to various places, so they have useful information. There are also many times when you get information that is not available in the aristocratic district. Brother Wilfried and Charlotte will also know something new at prayer ceremonies and harvest festivals, right?

When I waved the topic to the two of them, who had a lot of opportunities to get out of the aristocratic district, they all nodded.

"Yeah, I thought there were a lot of things I wouldn't know if I didn't actually see it"

"When you pour out your magic and the people thank you, you feel like you have to work harder, and you have to be a good lord."

Geebe Haldenzel loosened his expression softly once he looked lightly at Wilfried's words.

"Civilians cannot live without our magic. But without civilians, we nobles will also be in trouble. Once you know it, you'll be a good lord, Mr. Wilfried."

Being a dirty lord candidate, or not a strength because he's engaged to me as his next lord candidate, Wilfried, who is slapped in the pussy by the Aerenfest nobles, probably couldn't be happier that Geebe Haldenzel recognized him as a "good lord". I laughed proudly and nodded.

"Uhm. I'll make the best of it"

Mothers' love stories were overwhelmingly popular in the book sale in the afternoon, and were smashing sales. The next thing I sold was an Aalensbach knight's story printed at the Rosemaine Workshop. The old Veronicans were buying it so badly.

I also bought one. This is not my share.

"Lamprecht"

Speak to Brother Lamprecht, who follows him as an escort knight of Wilfried, and I offer him the book I have just purchased.

"What is it, Master Rosemaine?"

"Please give this to Aurelia. Thanks for talking to me."

It's the story of the knight of Arlensbach that Aurelia told me during the dye competition. Because of this, I want Aurelia to enjoy it too. Brother Lamprecht received the book and laughed happily.

"I'm afraid so. My wife would be very happy to read Rosemayne's book because she likes it."

At the edge of his sight, he found Darmuel out of sight.
