Ascendance of a Bookworm

Brother Cornelius made a difficult face when I said that Nicolaus was pathetic to have parents who could take it if he wanted to, but leave it in the children's room for one season at a time.

"Father is in a position to command Solemn Qing. I saw the fold, went to talk to Nicolaus a few times, but I can't pick it up. You can't leave a child alone who's not even in the House of Lords."

"... there's a mother in the main building, right?

Even if it wasn't apart, and I shrugged, Brother Cornelius said with a decent face, "Why would you take it away when your mother is not Nicolaus's mother? I said."

"Huh? Can't you take it?

"Master Rosemayne grew up in the temple, and since she became Elvira's child on the occasion of the baptism ceremony, she may have a poor understanding of her half-brothers and half-brothers. With the mother's permission... in the case of Nicolaus, you can pick it up by entrusting it to Master Elvira if you want. I can't confirm my intentions because I'm captured."

"Is it hard for Rosemaine to understand," Brother Cornelius and Brother Lamprecht nodded to follow Leonore. Angelica is nodding together with a face like she figured it out.

"Without the opinion of Tordelide, adoption will be necessary for the mother to take Nicolaus. Tordelide will come back when he's punished, but it wouldn't be realistic to adopt him just to get him out of the children's room, would it? Your mother also said that Nicolaus should stay in the children's room. He said there's no way Tordelide could take the kid away without an opinion."

I was shocked to see the fact that my half-brother, even if she lived away on the same property, was treated as a completely different family. If there are so many differences between mothers, are there more children left in the children's room without being picked up than assumed?

"I thought my father would take care of me if he took it..."

"Nicolaus and Matthias are exempt from the coalition because the Lordship Candidates were asked by Aub, headed by Master Rosemayne. But it doesn't make a difference to be a criminal's child. Few people like it and put it in their homes because they just don't get directly punished and everyone's consciousness isn't that easy to change"

The difference in degree is that the criminal's harsh eyes on his relatives were also in the Reino period. I can only give a small return to Leonore's words: "Nicolaus is only a nine-year-old…"

"Rosemaine, you're nine years old. Given how Nicolaus has been raised so far from Tordelide and how he thinks his mother was captured by her own father, I don't want to go into the main building"

"Nikolaus is training to become a knight apprentice," said Brother Lamprecht to Brother Cornelius' words.

"Nicolaus is in good shape, and according to his uncle, his muscles are good. I don't know how it works when I get emotional. I disagree with putting Nicolaus in the main building. I want to prioritize Aurelia and baby safety."

Now that I have a newborn baby with Aurelia in the main building, she doesn't want to put in the anxiety element. At this rate, they say it's easy enough for Aurelia to hold Nicolaus down, but difficult in the post-partum state now.

... It's kind of hard to believe that Aurelia, who was wearing a vale and then was in motion, could easily hold down a knight apprentice, though.

"Tordelide loved Master Veronica, he used to scold Master Ferdinand, and he used to mock his mother for taking over Rosemaine, who went into and out of the temple, dedicated by Brother Eckhardt. Although I only occasionally took a trip to the main building, I do not like Tordelide and do not want to accept Nicolaus raised by her. I think it's best for Nicolaus to stay in the children's room until Tordelide returns from punishment."

"Really..."

I could understand the circumstances surrounding Nicolaus, but the back of my chest is kind of very sprawling. You haven't committed any sins yet, but I think the world's wind is too strong.

"... how many children are left in the children's room after a feast that lasts spring? Can we move the remaining children to the orphanage?

When I thought of going somewhere a little out of the wind, the potpourri and such words leaked. As soon as that happens, Brother Cornelius and Leonore keep an eye out.

"Rosemaine, what are you thinking!?

"Dear Rosemayne, it's too much to hold in thoughtfully."

It's pathetic to leave the kids in the children's room intact, though they may be too big to hold with thoughts. Beyond living in the main building of the castle, you are always exposed to the gaze of aristocratic adults.

"Brother Lamprecht, there must have been someone near Charlotte who was taking care of the children's room. I want to talk to that person about the winter children's room. Brother Cornelius, please call Haltmut. I have a question about the current situation in the orphanage."

When Brother Lamprecht and Brother Cornelius left the room with a face that seemed to have no choice, I wondered if they would have refrained from doing so right around the corner, and Haltmoot smiled in at such a time as to be replaced.

"Dear Rosemaine, are you here?

I spoke lightly to Hartmoot about the current state of Nicolaus and asked him about the current state of the orphanage and the number of children whose parents would come to pick them up in the spring.

"There have been five requests so far. You do tend to be left with either a second lady or a third lady child. I haven't heard anything from anyone about children who don't have magic equipment."

"... yes. Do you think we can accept the children left in the children's room in an orphanage?

In my words Haltmut laid down his orange eyes and thought a little.

"If you just accept it, you can. Because the cost of their lives should be taken from their parents and solemn nobles, just like in the children's room. However, unlike the children before baptism, it is the children who are already treated as nobles who are in the children's room. I don't know if I would honestly listen to the words of a gray cleric or a gray witch, and it would seem difficult to let them live in gray clothes"

I have not seen with my own eyes the condition of the orphanage after Solemn Qing. The children in the children's room are clearly aristocratic, although they are not yet aristocratic before they are built.

"Dear Rosemayne, Mr. Wilfried is asking for permission to enter the room."

When I nodded at Greater's voice, "I heard you were going to start something from Lamprecht, but now what are you going to do?" Wilfried enters the room anxiously.

After I shook my head, "It's going to be hard to achieve," I explained all the things I thought I could do to move the children in the children's room to the orphanage. Wilfried sighs with a frightened face once.

"... you want to hide it from the public eye because it's pathetic? But where I hid it, it won't solve anything. Is it not true that their relatives are guilty and punished? Instead of hiding it from the public eye, you should tell them to live up to their chests that they have nothing to be ashamed of."

Wilfried said so straight forward. In my own experience, the pussies of the nobles go on forever. Just for a moment, I said, hiding it from you is not going to grow anything.

"There's some reason I'd like to hide it from the public eye at all, but Merhior couldn't go to the children's room during the winter, and he was studying alone, surrounded by the proximities at a distance to the north, right?

That's what you said.

"If Melchior had a teacher attached, what was the condition of the children's room where the teacher wasn't? Will they be given a satisfactory education as aristocrats to be left in the children's room in the spring?

"That should be consulted and arranged with the mother in charge of the children's room, not something that others outside of her jurisdiction think about"

When he told me not to lay my hands on the work of others that I had not even been asked to do, I pulled out only a little of my shoulder strength. It was certainly not a question of me thinking, but of asking my adoptive mother what was going on and asking her to do something about it.

"Those of you should think about Nicolaus personally, not the whole children's room"

"Nicolaus, are you an individual?

When I didn't know exactly what it meant and tilted my neck, Wilfried nodded, "Oh, yeah," he said.

"Nicolaus wants to serve the Lordship candidate as an advanced knight apprentice, and he says his best hope is Rosemaine. He wants to be among Cornelius and Angelica, adored by Master Bonifatius, and envies the friendliness between Cornelius and Rosemaine"

I blinked at unexpected words. I don't know that.

"But Nicolaus said his mother was avoided because she was different and he couldn't have one conversation with Rosemaine. When I expressed my hope for my parents to serve Rosemaine, they kicked me in the ass."

"Dear Wilfried, it wasn't your father who overtook you, it was your mother, Tordelide. I said," I will not allow you to serve Rosemaine, who came out of the temple. "

It seems true that Brother Lamprecht put in the correction with his sigh, but Nicolaus wished to be near my side. Having never spoken to Nicolaus, I looked up to Brother Cornelius, who forbade contact.

"Dear Brother Cornelius, I did not know that Nicolaus wanted to be near. I haven't heard at all..."

"Because Nicolaus decided it was best to serve Master Wilfried. I won't complain if Lord Wilfried, who was also cherished by Veronica, and Nicolaus's desire to be near the Lords' candidate can be fulfilled, and I have Brother Lamprecht, so I can think of getting along with our brothers."

When Brother Cornelius laughed at Nicoli and said so, Wilfried shook his head gently and looked at Brother Cornelius, "But it will not be Nicolaus's hope to serve me," he said.

"It's pathetic that my hopes don't come true on top of living a life of disablement in a children's room. Even the children who have been spared from the union can decide their Lord."

"If it weren't for Tordelide's son, I might have had the same opinion as Lord Wilfried"

When Brother Cornelius said that with a smile that he could clearly see was a making laugh, Brother Lamprecht exhaled like he was in trouble.

"Dear Wilfried, Tordelide claimed that Rosemayne, working with Master Ferdinand, tricked Aub Aerenfest into becoming his adopted daughter, and with a very nasty hand fell the former temple chief, plotting for sin to extend to Master Veronica,"

... You're right that where Master Ferdinand used me to trap him and my adoptive father stuck his neck in, the former temple chief and Master Veronica blew themselves up on their own.

"It seems easy for Lady Rosemaine to accept that a child is not guilty or has not done anything yet, but it is unacceptable as an escort knight to create a gap where dangerous people approach. Even now it's dangerous."

Brother Cornelius told me to get ahead of what I was about to say. Seeing all the escort knights snort, it also seems hard to talk to Nicolaus.

... I'd like to talk to each other properly for once.

The next day, on the three bells as promised, one civilian and one side service at a time, the escort knight will take all of them, and we, the Lords' candidates, will all leave the north. Again, you are wary of various things, unlike the meeting rooms you normally use, and a large meeting room is prepared as a meeting room within the main building, close to the northern distance.

The meeting began when the adoptive father, adoptive mother, uncle, vilfried, charlotte, me, and, unlike before, Merhior and his proximity entered instead of Ferdinand.

"There are a lot of reports this time. First, Florencia got pregnant. It will come in autumn from the end of summer. I think I'm often not feeling well anymore for a while, so with that in mind, I'd like to sort out the work ahead"

My adoptive father's words deliberately crouched in the conference room. There is no confusion in me that was taught about pregnancy one foot away, although there are those who look at each other as confused as to what they plan to marry the Second Lady and what they will do with their future duties. Most of all, "Congratulations. Looking forward to autumn," he called out.

"Thank you, Rosemaine"

When the adoptive mother loosened her expression as she was horrified, Melchior also spoke of the celebration with a delightful face.

"Congratulations, Mother. You can have my brother or my sister, right?

"That's right. But keep this a secret for a while. All right?"

As his adoptive father said so, he looked around at everyone, including his closest friends in the conference room, and opened his mouth with his face up as Charlotte, who had a slight lean down to the pregnancy report and had a hard look on his face, had decided to do so.

"I'm not going to risk your mother. Of course, I'll keep it a secret, and I'm willing to do everything I can to help."

"Helpful.... I want to focus this later report on the Solemn Qing that took place in the winter. You know there's an urgent need to rebuild Aerenfest?

A report on winter solemnity can be started. By information from Matthias and the others, the plan was brought forward and the solemn cleansing began. Having decided to take precedence over those who know they are giving their name to Georgine. That many had harmed themselves when they stormed the Winter Hall in Gerlach, but few had registered as Aerenfest nobles.

"Father, I'm not sure what that means. Are you saying that there were many people in Geebe Gerlach's Hall who were not nobles of Aerenfest?

"That's right. There were a number of people here who didn't match the magic of the medal registered. There were many bodies, to be exact."

Though the word "corpse for many" has a spine, I do know someone who is not registered in the medal.

"Those without medal registration might be eating soldiers. When I was first attacked by Geebe Gerlach, I remember eating soldiers involved."

Eating soldiers should have been used in the raid after visiting Gerlach in the first raid of the Blue Witch Apprenticeship era. Even when Charlotte was about to be exposed, a number of eaters came.

"Oh, the soldier who attacked me during Charlotte's baptism and blew himself up was also an unidentified man. Definitely a similar person."

"... Is Geebe Gerlach also a suicide bomber? Somehow I can't believe it..."

I turned my gaze to my uncle, who had broken into the house of Geebe Gerlach. My uncle slowly opened his mouth with a difficult face with a deep carved wrinkle between his brows.

"I didn't see the scene of the suicide bombing. I just decided from the circumstances that it was a suicide bomber.... There are those who disagree that I cut ahead and tried to penetrate and capture them with a stamp, and of course, the butler didn't want to let them in, and when I penetrated, it was a room full of scorching meat chunks"

It's spoken pale, but the tragedy in that room is too scary to imagine. "By the way, the moment I barged in, the butler blew himself up and the front door was in trouble," I heard as the story was driven by the urge to block my ears. I listen to the rest of my uncle's story as he rubs his goosebumps on his own two arms, desperately shaking off the sight of the bloody tiny on his head.

"I used to hang out with the medals registered here to determine the magic of the arms and feet scattered throughout the room, to find out who was on the spot, but there were several people without the magic registration. As for Geebe Gerlach, the ring and family crest on his left hand, then he decided that the magic that remained was definitely him from the medal, but he must not feel so deluded."

My uncle's inquiry as a samurai seems to be alarming, but he can't be sure of "the survival of Geebe Gerlach" because of what's left of the scene or what he sees with his own eyes.

"Is it not possible that Geebe Gerlach left only his hands and fled?

My uncle shook his head loosely at Wilfried's question.

"Even considering the smell of blood in the room and the temperature of the meat mass, I'm pretty sure it wasn't long after I blew myself up into the room. There are knights surrounding the hall and no riders have been seen. It's difficult for nobles to escape underground with magic eaters, and all exits were guarded by civilian soldiers."

The adoptive father adds further explanation as he snorts at his uncle's words.

"The city's boundaries had raised the alert level to the maximum, and a cavalry had been placed at the north gate, informing the civilian soldiers never to let the carriage pass. No nobleman has reportedly escaped Aerenfest, either by beast or by carriage"

Even with all that, it seems my uncle is not convinced by the death of Geebe Gerlach.

"Since Bonifatius is so unconvinced, he has already finished executing those who have heard from Mathias and are certain that he is offering his name to Georgine, using medals"

"... of the Dark God, is that you?

Remembering the execution with the medals I saw in Hasse, I asked terribly. It was used as a magic to remember during the Lords Candidate Course, which was beaten one after another by Ferdinand. I blurred and said it vaguely because there are other candidates for lordship on this occasion, but it seems to have passed to my adoptive father. I snort with a harsh face.

"But my adoptive father. If that magic wasn't under Aub's control, wouldn't it pass?

"Rosemaine, how do you get outside of Aerenfest without a beast, without a carriage?

"... uh... transfer formation, or something?

"Isn't it the metastatic formation that transfers people that needs Aub to create them? There's no way I can use it for Geebe Gerlach."

The answer I desperately twisted was rejected by my adoptive father's dazed gaze. Indeed, even when I was taught by Ferdinand, I was told that only Aub could create it.

My adoptive father said, "Anyway, Geebe Gerlach is dead. Isn't that good," he says, breaking up a story about Geebe Gerlach.

"The trouble as it stands is whether there are any other aristocrats offering their names. Name dedication is basically done in secret. There seems to be no doubt about those who captured Mathias' information, but even their memories are obscured by the Trook, so it is really difficult to navigate the investigation of the namesake."

They're going to have to speculate from the various connections, and they're going to have to be cautious not to let the matter of execution happen on a wrongful charge.

"Oh, yeah. Rosemaine, Vilfleet and Charlotte. The Knights will rent those who have spared the Alliance and dedicated their names to them, etc. for investigation for some time to come."

It seems that children are needed for the investigation of the land ruled by Geebe, who had dedicated his name to Georgine, such as Gerlach, Virtre and Bessel.

"After Solemn Qing, the Knights headed to their respective summer halls for an investigation, but many places could not be investigated because of the many doors that Geebe's halls could not open unless they were of the blood clan. When I replace it with a new Geebe, I will be completely unable to use the hidden room, so I want to investigate the museum before doing so."

Apparently there are a number of doors that will never open again when Geebe takes turns and registers again, just as when I registers my magic in the Orphan Dean's office concealer will never open the previous Orphan Dean's concealer again.

"I know exactly what it's like to have to do a quick survey of the museum. Never imitate the handicap, as I will tell Matthias, Laurenz and Muriella to accompany and cooperate in the Knights' investigation. The three of you are already near me."

When I pressed my precautions as I stared at your father, the Knight Commander, your father nodded with a reliable smile.

"Let me tell you very well what Lady Rosemaine said, to those of the Knights. Of course, we will not imitate Mr. Wilfried and Mr. Charlotte by hand."

Shortly after I said that, I let harsh light dwell in my thin blue eyes.

"Instead, tell them often, as Lord, to cooperate in the investigation of the Knights, and not to imitate the sins of their parents or relatives"
