Ascendance of a Bookworm

"I left the dorm early to apologize to the royal family, so I didn't think Master Rosemaine was already here"

That is what Hannelore tells me, and I have a drawn grin. Nothing. I didn't mean to come early at all, and when I came at the appointed time, it was just a call from the royalty, I can't say.

I wanted to speak to the royal family, too.

"Um, maybe I've disturbed you..."

Hannelore began to grate that he might have overlapped his loss once again, so I shook my head with a grin to reassure him.

"I just wanted to give you a hair decoration from Prince Anastasius for Dr. Eglantine."

"Yep. Because of this, I'd like you to take a look at Hannelore."

Eglantine smiles and nods at my excuses. I immediately glanced at Brunhilde. Brunhilde immediately hands a box with hair decorations to serve Anastasius. After a cumbersome process, such as checking boxes and contents, carried out between the sides, Anastasius laughed satisfactorily and placed the box in front of Eglantine, "Let's give this to my beloved wife".

Hannelore smiled as if she was finally relieved to see the exchange of hair decorations happening amicably.

"Prince Anastasius was also ordered a new hair decoration, wasn't he? My brother ordered it, and I'm very excited to receive it."

"By taking the form of a gift from Master Ferdinand, we also received an order from Mr. Dietrinde of Arlensbach. The flowers themselves are the same as Adolphine's, and we have prepared five smaller and different colors."

As expected, "Well, five?" and Eglantine was astonished, so I will explain Dietrinde's hair ornament here and now. At the very least, we need the royal family to know that it doesn't matter what Ferdinand's taste is or how he decorates it.

"We are also free to combine according to time, place and costume. It's Dear Dietrinde's conceived design. You said that Aerenfest's taste would not be trusted..."

"Well, I'm happy with the design of Aerenfest, and I think the hair decoration today is very nice,"

"I'm afraid so. I'll tell you how satisfied I am."

Others came while performing hair decorations. From the library came Solange and Altancia. Exchange greetings.

... This is the First Lady of the Central Knights Commander.

"Aerenfest may think of us, but don't be patient."

"Dr. Altancia?

When I blinked at the sudden words, Altancia smiled sadly.

"We brought back stories about a hidden library that Prince Hildebrandt heard from Aerenfest's lord candidates when the current state of the royal family was in trouble, and if the Knights Commander went to confirm, Aerenfest's lord candidates had the old scribe's journal. That journal would have had a royal description of visiting the library even after graduation, right? My husband, the Knights Commander, thought Aerenfest was after something royal in the House of Lords."

... and that the Knight Commander knew that Master Ferdinand was the fruit of Adalziza, drawing royal blood? You suspect that, don't you?

I think it was too bad between us. If I hadn't even bowled in the library, I probably wouldn't have been questioned weirdly, nor would Ferdinand have made his way to Arlensbach.

"Professionally, my husband suspects anything, but if he doesn't exercise any vigilance, he's disqualified as the Knights Commander. I know my husband is in a position where he often buys grudges, but he does things as peacefully as possible and adjusts to be mutually beneficial. Please don't understand."

That's what Altancia told me, and I managed to smile.

As I was told, I wasn't captured without question because Ferdinand was drawing royal blood and acting suspiciously. What I have been commanded to do is leave the temple that is despised all around me and enter my son-in-law into the great territory, a glory that envies all around me.

... I wish it wasn't Arlensbach.

Make it look happy, they say, so I can't say, "Although I have no interest in this one". I giggle and show nicole.

"We have a lot of different situations, and our personal feelings and surrounding opinions are often not the same."

Thus, as soon as I finished my conversation with Altancia, Hildebrandt arrived. Say hello to Hildebrandt, who was gently pushed out by the lead sidekick Artur. I seem to be more used to greeting you than I was last year, and I smile "I've grown up".

"I was told by the third grade that even Rosemayne wouldn't be able to finish the lecture right away, so I'd be much less likely to see you, but I'm glad to see you this way"

"It's good to see you, too. Because I wasn't looking forward to seeing what book Prince Hildebrandt would recommend."

Next to me and Hildebrandt having a greeting and a light conversation, Hannelore was getting an apology from two of the scribes.

"I'm sorry I didn't seem to get in touch. I can't believe Hannelore was in the library so often that the administrator took his place..."

"Don't worry, Master Hannelore, the administrator is already replacing Dr. Altancia"

Hannelore smiled like a heartfelt relief at Solange's words that the administrator was replacing him. He seemed so sick.

I also howled and exhaled at Hannelore's reassurance, turning my doubts to Altancia.

"I didn't think that if the Senior Clerk supplied the Schwartz and the others with magic every day, the Administrator would replace Master Hannelore, but why did he replace Master Hannelore?

"We needed magic for other things, so we were putting Schwartz behind us who still had room for magic."

In Ortancia's words I said, "Was there any magic equipment in the library more important than the Schwartz?," he tilted his neck. I don't think Schwartz and the others need more magic equipment in their daily business, such as lending work and registration of unauthorized withdrawals.

To my doubts Altancia turned her troubled, help-seeking gaze to Anastasius and Eglantine.

"Schwartz and the others would be important if we were to think of it as routine business. But there were other things that Altancia had to do when she received her royal life."

"I also had a description in the book I borrowed from Dr. Solange, so you know Master Rosemayne, right? that there is a library that cannot be opened without the key of a senior secretary."

Apparently it was one of Altancia's jobs to open a library that didn't open and see if there were any clues to Gluthris Height or leading to it.

"It took magic to re-register the Senior Clerk's room and become the keeper of the keys, and I couldn't afford to give Schwartz and the others the magic."

They were planning to provide a magic supply once they got the keys.

"According to the journal and the story of Solange, there are three keys and you can't open the library without them all. So I tried to get three keys, but I ended up with only one key on my own."

He thought instilling magic would get him a key, but instead of having three keys, he needed three people who could have them. When he was registered as the custodian of the second key, he lost his first custodian credentials.

"So I want the librarian to be the custodian of the key."

"Aren't you going to call the secretary from the center?

"It's the mountains that want to, but it's hard to gather three senior civilians in the House of Lords just to open a library that doesn't know if there's anything really important."

If it's the day-to-day business of the student, I can turn it around in Solange with Schwartz and the others. They can't afford the human resources to be convinced when they end up sending three senior civil servants there and there was nothing. The royal family also says, "Unless there are so many discoveries, only Altancia".

"It's a library that doesn't usually have any problems at all even if it's not open. I think it's less burdensome on the Lords than it is on the Schwartz and the others, but how about that?

Anastasius nods when Solange says so as he looks at me and Hannelore.

"The Schwartz and their magic supplies are planned to be managed centrally in Altancia and Hildebrandt. While in school, Hannelore and Rosemayne will be the custodians of the keys, just like Altancia, and I want you to help me open the library."

I'll keep the keys in the library, so they'll just call me when they want to open the library.

"Even if the school year goes up and the lecture gets busy, it's not that much of a burden if you just unlock it. It's hard to get Schwartz and the others to supply a lot of magic, depending on the lecture."

They're taking care to reduce the burden on this one. To the words of Anastasius. Me and Hannelore nod cocklessly after seeing each other.

"Okay. We'll take care of it."

As the two scribes and Anastasius nodded at what we had agreed, Hildebrandt opened his mouth in a nasty manner.

"Um, is it just Rosemaine and Hannelore? Even though I'm a librarian, aren't I going to be the custodian of the keys, too?

I thought you said you wanted to give Schwartz and the others a magic supply.

To Anastasius' words Hildebrandt looked sadly, "That's right......" and lay his eyes down.

"... I didn't think we'd be out of company"

"If you're not in the House of Lords, you can't even tell what books are in the library."

Hildebrandt slowly dropped.

"Prince Anastasius, may I read the books in the library?

"The librarian just unlocks it and it's the clerk's job to change the inside. It's hard to get into places you don't know what's there."

... even though it's my new library, eh.

Doesn't it amount to torture that you're one of those people who unlocks a key and can't read a book you've never read there? But I know that if there was a Gluthris Height, it would be better if I didn't get too close to Aerenfest, who is suspected of various things.

"Shh, I will be as patient as I can get in right away, so if you have any books or materials that I have no problem reading, please don't let me read them"

"Let's check it out."

That concludes the serious story, and the tea party began in a soothing atmosphere. Each side is arranged with a treat brought over, each eating and showing a bite at a time with a poisonous look, and introducing it.

"This is a Katorkar recipe I bought from Aerenfest with the addition of Dunkelferger specialty lowle. We had Rosemaine at last year's territorial match, and it was so delicious that even Dunkelferger let the cooks study it."

The liquor that is soaking the lowle also looks like Dunkelferger's and tastes completely different.

"Is alcohol different? It tastes different and tasty than the Rowle cattle curls you make at Aerenfest. I think it's nice to be able to enjoy the flavors that go with each piece of land."

"I'm looking forward to the new treats Rosemayne brings me every year."

With Solange laughing at Couscous, he laid his hands on the tart of yogurt mousse I had brought with him. The white yogurt mousse is patterned with luxurious, wintery treats because of the luxurious appearance of the trabe jam.

"The basic flavor of this white part is yogurt, so add as much sweetness as you like"

The treats brought from the center look adorable, but they are still too sweet. I tried my best to eat, but all of them retired with three bites.

After you've enjoyed all the tea and sweets, share your thoughts on the book.

... This is my book favorite tea party! It's too much fun!

"Rosemayne lent me the knight's story, which was an easy book to read for me before I entered the House of Lords, and I enjoyed reading it very much"

Apparently, for Hildebrandt, the knight's story was just a good read, even as a progress in his studies. He was a little difficult but thrilled and worried about the continuation, and he was obsessed with reading it.

"I would also like to do everything in my power to be able to dedicate a beautiful demon stone for a princess who feels like that story"

Hildebrandt's purple eyes, which tell the story of which knight was better with a slightly excited face, sparkled, and he got the feeling that he was a boy when he said he wanted to be strong enough to defeat a strong warcraft. I can see everyone smiling.

"Master Retizia is so adorable, you'd be delighted if someone as nice as Prince Hildebrandt gave you the Demon Stone"

"... Lettiezia, sir?

Hildebrandt blinked his eyes with a decent face so that he didn't know what he was told. It should have been announced at the Lords' Conference, but I leaned my neck thinking,

"Prince Hildebrandt's fiancée is Master Retizia of Arlensbach, isn't he? Master Ferdinand picked me up at the border gate as we headed to Arlensbach. Let me tell you something, he was very cute."

"Really? But I..."

I wonder how Hildebrandt's slight tone fell, maybe we haven't met face to face yet just because it was announced at the Lords' Conference. Shortly afterwards, I remembered.

... Prince Hildebrandt liked Charlotte!

I may have stepped around a slight first love by putting up a subject of fiancées who don't even know the face decided by their parents. I get upset inside.

... but it's weird to suddenly bring up the subject of Charlotte here, and if he finds out about his first love around him, Prince Hildebrandt will be in trouble, right? Ahhh, what shall we do!? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I never meant to trample my first love! I don't think your mother would be happy to find out!

"Um, Rosemaine. I..."

"Prince Hildebrandt has also decided to get engaged, hasn't he? Congratulations.

Hildebrandt's call and Hannelore's words fell on him. Everyone began to say congratulatory words to Hannelore's words, and Hildebrandt laughed small "I'm afraid". He's just unconscious about his engagement, and he doesn't hate it.

With that in mind, Hannelore looked around at everyone on the spot and smiled so she could get out of the way.

"You all have wonderful people. Sounds like I'm the only one out there."

I do have only married and fiancée except Hannelore. Altancia laughs couscous.

"Oh, Master Hannelore is a third-year student. Isn't this the most fun time to be around? Does anyone have someone in mind?

"No. But that's right....... I would like to be courted by the lord who gives me such a lovely amulet as Lady Rosemaine wears. Like the love story of Aerenfest."

When Hannelore shook her head with a shy laugh and said so, her gaze gathered in the jaws of my rainbow demon stone. I shake my head a little and touch the rainbow demon stone.

"This is an amulet that my guardian was worried about and prepared for the Demon Stone, designed by Lord Ferdinand and given to me by Brother Wilfried."

Again, I complain that Ferdinand's taste is not bad here, and I stress that it was given to me by Wilfried.

"... I can't believe you've prepared so many demon stones, Master Rosemayne is being taken care of at Aerenfest."

I smiled and nodded at the words of Eglantine as she blinked her eyes and looked at the rainbow demon stone claw.

"I think it's very important. You listened to my devotion, and in this way you allowed me to make the books that I liked in my territory, and you also got a library."

As I said so, I showed the book that I had brought so that I could lend it to everyone.

"Do you have a new book this year? I've read Aerenfest's love stories, but I've enjoyed hearing stories I know from time to time. Is that who this story is? Thinking about it, it brought back memories of my House of Lords and made me feel very nostalgic"

"I'm glad Dr. Solange is happy for you. This year's love story in the House of Lords consists of stories gathered by civilian apprentices from other realms, making it much harder to identify who the story is, unlike previous stories."

The stories collected at the Tea Party in Aerenfest were centered on the stories of generations known to mothers and their friends, so the specific gravity was skewed by Aerenfest, and if not, there were many famous stories as told in the House of Lords, which were relatively easy to identify.

But the stories that the civilian apprentices have gathered for gratuity are often minor, and the territory is varied and difficult to identify, in order to avoid wearing them with others so that they can attach a slightly higher value.

"Not only are we preparing love stories, but also books for the lords. This is the story of fostering friendship through treasure stealing ditters. If Prince Anastasius is also interested, I will lend it to you."

"I'm interested, but isn't it pathetic to keep Hildebrandt waiting?

Anastasius pointed his finger at Hildebrandt. It feels like Hildebrandt is shriveling like a dog who ate the deposit. Because normally there is only one book, so if you lend it to Anastasius in your capacity, Hildebrandt has to wait to come around.

... but don't worry!

"I can lend it to both of you at the same time, so it's okay. Hand out the love stories and ditter stories of Brunhilde, Richarda and the House of Lords"

"Yes, sir."

Brunhilde distributes the Ditter story of Rhoderich, and Richarda distributes the love story of the new House of Lords. The Ditter story was to be shown first at a tea party with Dunkelferger, but this is the only new one for boys that Anastasius and Hildebrandt are likely to enjoy, so it was revealed to the royal family.

... It's amazing how suddenly royalty reads it, Rhoderich!

Looking softly, Rhoderich stands in the corner of the room with a tremendously unwanted face. You look like you want to know the reaction, but you don't want to know.

Eglantine blinked her orange eyes when she took the handed out book.

"... Dear Rosemaine, are these exactly the same books?

"Yep. We're going to call printing the technology that makes the same book, and we're going to make it Aerenfest's new core industry. This is how Dunkelferger's history books are also decided to be put up for sale. I won't be able to get it out right away because it will be after you confirm the contents."

When I gave an explanation of the printing, Solange and Altancia shouted surprised me by comparing the books they had to "really, even the painting".

"Whatever the contents of the beautiful alignment of the letters, can't you handle the cover?

Anastasius, wrapped around a parallax and a book, glanced at him. It still doesn't seem to have a good reputation for a nobleman who can be an over-decorated cover.

"The paper that trapped this flower is the cover for once. And this is how Aerenfest's book puts on the cover of the paper, in order to put on a leather cover of your choice. Prince Anastasius and Lady Hannelore have different covers, don't they? However, this one is just spelled with yarn, so it can be solved easily, and it doesn't take long to bring it into the workshop to make the cover"

"Hum..."

Anastasius still looks at the book dissatisfied. Maybe I've never seen a book with no cover attached.

"Consider that Aerenfest books are only for sale with their contents. Because it doesn't work on the cover, it can be finished cheaply. It's designed to make it easier for junior and intermediate aristocrats to buy it."

"That's a very grateful consideration," said Solange, an intermediate aristocrat. Hannelore also laughed nicely with Aerenfest's book in her hand.

"Aerenfest books are light and portable, and I like them because they roll so easily. It's a lot more familiar than a book you can't read without help from a civilian or a sidekick."

Hildebrandt also endorsed Hannelore's words once he turned his gaze to the thick Dunkelferger book.

"I understand. Compared to a book that's big and thick enough to have to stand in front of a writing stand and read, it's very easy to handle, isn't it?

... A book big enough to have to stand up and read, what, I want to read it!

He was gently held back by Brunhilde, who refrained behind his back where he was about to embark. I sit back making sure that there is no change in the Demon Stone of the necklace.

"Is Aerenfest only a thin book like this?

"It's just spelled with yarn, so you can't be that thick. So it's a fight in numbers."

That is what I said and looked back at Brunhilde. Brunhilde, who nodded cocklessly, began to hand out another book with Richarda.

It is Mother's latest book, The Story of Fernestine. It's a story that slammed the emotions that Ferdinand absurd when he decided to marry, and it's written by changing the protagonist's gender just because it's not good as it is.

Fernestine, who lost her mother at an early age and lived in detail with the flanking service put on her father. Before the christening ceremony, the castle of the lord was the destination he was brought to when he was to be taken by his father. What a Fernestine was a Lordship candidate.

The obstinate frustration of my mother-in-law that starts with that. Upon entering the House of Lords, Fernestine became more prominent with her beauty and outstanding grades. It's trivial compared to being made my mother-in-law, although I've been jealously harassed by other Lordship candidates.

He experienced his first freedom in the House of Lords without his mother-in-law, and Fernestine fell in love with the prince. But Fernestine is a lord candidate without a mother. I don't go along with the prince, and I'm opposed to the surroundings.

Fernestine has decided to daughter-in-law to the Great Territories by royal decree to separate herself from the prince. Its great territory was the birthplace of her mother-in-law, and her married partner was a face-to-face bully very similar to her mother-in-law.

The prince did not give up Fernestine, who tries to cry his daughter-in-law that he cannot disobey his royal life. Try to save Fernestine with that hand. Fernestine, who refused to do so because it would be annoying at first, is also talking about a happy ending, taking the hand of a prince who has persuaded the king many times and obtained permission to marry him.

... No matter how convenient it is, heroin seems to have to be saved.

My adoptive father, who read this, realized that Ferdinand was a model and laughed so hard, "You don't know Elvira is scary," but if you're not so close, you don't seem to know, and few people in Aerenfest even realized that Ferdinand was a model.

By the way, this Fernestine story and Rhoderich's Ditter story are long stories, which, unlike previous short edits, are a continuation. Because it did not physically fit into one book and because it took too long to print, it is to be given out as much as it could.

I laughed niggardly when I saw how everyone had books for fun. This is the first step in a grand plan to spread the book to the whole of Jürgenschmidt in search of continuation.

… you should all have the same "illness I can't wait to read on" as I do! My book lover virus, spread it to everyone!
