Ascendance of a Bookworm

Sin and the spot quieted to Brunhilde's remarks. Everyone on the spot opens their eyes to surprise and stares at Brunhilde, who is kneeling. My thought circuit does not follow the statement of water in my sleeping ear.

... Aub's Second Lady? Who's who? Brunhilde is my adopted father's!?

The moment the words floating with potpouts were connected to the whitened thought circuit, now havoc struck. Get up out of the guttered chair and step closer to Brunhilde.

"Hey, eh!? Wait, wait! Brunhilde, calm down and take a deep breath. Mind you..."

"You need to calm down, you need to take a deep breath."

My adoptive father, who turned into a frightened face, rose up and stood next to me around the table. And he slaps me gently on the shoulder, "Look, take a deep breath," he says.

"Hi-hi-hoo... Hi-hi-hoo..."

"What, is that?

"I took the liberty of getting out of my mouth. Me, what are you saying?

"Unfortunately, I have no idea. Calm down."

I alternate between my adoptive father, who doesn't seem to be moving at all on Brunhilde's bomb statement, and my uncle, who seems to be horny as he looks at me in confusion.

"Oh, oh, I don't know how to calm down, uncle"

"I know exactly how that feels, Rosemaine."

As the two of us awoke, the reseller went in quietly, "Excuse me," and took out the stuffed shmill.

"Don't disturb me, fool. Breathe in."

Hazy to Ferdinand's voice, I breathed reflexively. I smoked a lot. She wouldn't tell me to "exhale," so I sucked even more. The lungs were so full of air that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't breathe any more. I'm bitter and I can't wait to exhale.

"How far are you willing to make me suck, Master Ferdinand!?

Staring at Schmir's stuffed animal with tears, the leaselator laughed nicely.

"Master Rosemaine seems to have been reminded of how to take a deep breath. Above all. Now remember how you stand as a lady."

Leezerator activates the magic tool while holding Schmir's plush. In the voice of Ferdinand to his lovely Schmill: "Are you still a lord candidate? It's lamentable," he said, and I slipped back into my chair and sat back down.

"It's okay. Calmed down. Let's keep talking."

"Hmm. Amazing effect. Well done. Back off."

"I'm afraid so."

My adoptive father returns to his seat, laboring to drive the leaselator, and shifts his gaze from me to Brunhilde.

"It's obvious from this look of Rosemaine that he didn't consult with the Lord."

"Yes, I haven't talked to Lord Rosemaine or your father. We don't know anything about Florence or any of the other Lordship candidates."

Brunhilde said that quietly. My adoptive father moved his eyebrows with Pickle, but let Brunhilde keep talking.

"Even if we are less aware of the person, Master Rosemayne is in a position to dictate Risegang. Your father, Geebe Grechel, also has influence among the Risegang aristocracy. If, as a result of the consultation, the story of bringing me to the Second Lady of Aub is formally brought in, it will be difficult to say no to Aub now. So it has to be my discretion to treat it as bullshit on this occasion and to decide what Aub didn't hear."

I wanted to take the form of a story that had nothing to do with the will of the Risegang aristocracy, Brunhilde said.

"Besides, I think Aub has to choose who he needs for the future of Aerenfest rather than being pushed around when it comes to the Second Lady. We have heard that the engagement of Lady Rosemayne and Lady Wilfried was decided by Aub for the territory. If necessary for the Territory, you will also choose to marry your own Second Lady."

My adoptive father lays down his eyes for the first time, as he noticed in the candy eyes that he looks straight at. And slowly turned his deep green eyes to Brunhilde.

"Let's listen."

"I'm afraid so."

Brunhilde begins his explanation on his knees and in a calm manner.

"I did not know until I also asked for Charlotte's opinion and actively obtained information on Risegang, who seems to feel quite at stake in the idea of the Lords clan, which attaches more importance to the fringe with the nobility of the territory than to the fringe with the upper one after the solemnity. It is questioned whether Lady Rosemayne can truly be First Lady in her marriage to Lady Wilfried"

From such a current situation, the voice "not Master Wilfried, but Master Rosemayne to the next Aub" has rekindled, or the thought of "not needing a First Lady of the upper territories, etc." has grown stronger, producing the assertion that "if you have to marry from the upper territories, you don't need to raise your rank".

"Risegang is a nobleman who has strengthened ties to Aub by marriage. Much of the anxiety will disappear just because Aub gets the Second Lady out of Risegang and shows respect for them."

... I've been collecting that information since I exchanged information with Charlotte. Near our side, seriously competent.

Hartmoot doesn't seem to be the only one with a high information-gathering capacity. Or is it just easy to take because it is information about the Risegang aristocracy?

"I am aware that the Second Lady is a matter of great concern to the future of the territory, and that it is a matter that needs to be sufficiently rooted in to talk to Aub in this way. I didn't intend to advance in this way either, but I just saw it. We decided it was a matter of contending for a moment."

Brunhilde turns a laborious gaze on his adoptive father and the sides attached to him around him. I tilted my neck, not sure what that expression meant.

"What does it mean to contend for a moment?

"... perhaps Aub punished most of his neighbors by means of solemnity. If you don't share your proximity with Master Florencia, you can't even come to the northern detachment. Not only does Aub have an impact on Lord Florencia's affairs in this state of affairs?

"Huh!?

I looked around at my adoptive father with amazement, not remembering everything, such as his side face.

"Aware of the workload of each Lords candidate at the Lords' clan meeting, I thought it would have taken more to fill a hole by Lady Rosemaine than because of your birth control to beg for the help of Lady Rosemaine, not Lady Charlotte?

If I assisted my adoptive mother, it would be easier for the Risegang aristocracy to enter. Brunhilde pointed out that maybe it was because he wanted Risegang's help.

My adoptive father answers nothing with only a few lips up. But I guess Brunhilde's words are more correct than not denied.

"Even given the current state of affairs on which Master Bonifatius relies for Risegang's information, it will now be necessary for Aub to have Risegang's endorsement. However, given Florence's circumstances, it is difficult to welcome the Second Lady for about two years."

... Wow, that just feels like a blockage.

"But as you can see, I'm a minor, so if you have a one-year engagement period after graduating from the House of Lords, the star knot ritual is two years from now, no matter how soon. The period that affects Florence's pregnancy and childbirth is over"

Brunhilde's candy eyes shine in a strong light.

"By stating that Aub will receive the Second Lady from Risegang, the majority of Risegang will be able to relieve anxiety as time goes on as before. The meaning of marrying Grechelle's daughter, Veronica's home and the most confrontational, is probably even greater for Risegang than Aub would have thought."

After saying that, "If you have a fiancée, it will also be easier to refuse to apply for a fringe from another realm at the Lords' Conference," Brunhilde smiles. It is something I can say because I know that my fringe with other realms as a proximity to mine was never a ride either, and it was a headache.

"Even if Lord Rosemayne is caged in the temple, it is possible to stand on the arrow side of the bargain with Risegang because I spend the majority of my time in the castle, which is a side service. Above all, since we are originally the same faction as Master Florencia, assistants do not conflict. In cooperation with Master Charlotte, we can fill the hole of Master Florencia"

Socialization while working with Lady Charlotte was also done in the House of Lords, Brunhilde said.

"I was at the heart of preparing and entertaining tea parties and meetings with royalty and superior territories in the House of Lords. I am also proud to say that some Aerenfest have a lot of social experience with the top territories. I wonder if Aub's position as fiancée would make it possible to educate her side while working with Charlotte."

It is difficult for the proximity of the Lord's adopted daughters to speak to the adults, starting with the proximity of the Aubs. However, if we take the position of Second Lady, who assists the First Lady, that will be possible. It makes it easier to communicate your experience and develop a side service that allows you to interact with the top territories.

"It will not be difficult to enroll the former Veronicans if we proceed with the proposed generational change of Master Rosemaine any sooner while filling in the holes of Master Florencia in this way. It is believed that the more we apply the former Veronicans, we will also be able to return the proximity that we had to choose to keep away"

His adoptive father narrowed his eyes only slightly to Brunhilde's words. Open your mouth as you stare at Brunhilde.

"I look around more often than I expected, and I find myself thinking about a lot of things. But like it, to the Second Lady..."

"That's right! Brunhilde is brilliant, thoughtful and competent, so don't you have to be your adoptive father's second wife! Brunhilde is cooler than my adoptive father."

I hear a desperate laugh all around me, and "Hey, Rosemaine," my adoptive father hits me all the time. But it's true.

"Because my adoptive father has an adoptive mother. Didn't you say scattered that your adoptive mother was your favorite and didn't want to marry any other woman, such as the Second Lady? My daughter-in-law to such a hall does not see a future in which Brunhilde can be happy. I don't like it."

Brunhilde turned his eyes round when I complained that he was going to marry someone who would treat him with some more affection because he was going to marry him.

"So how did Lady Rosemayne agree to be engaged to Lady Wilfried? Is it because you thought Master Wilfried would treat you with affection?

"No, because I wanted the Aerenfest library room and the Temple library to be free and I thought it would be a great place to go in the printing industry"

"I mean, you have nothing to do with love in marriage,"

... Ha! Surely my affection is not for anything other than books!?

Instead of leaking the truth, I needed a better word as an already engaged predecessor. I look desperately for words to mend my failures.

"Ah, ah, but unlike Brunhilde and his adoptive father, there is a loose relationship as ever between me and Brother Wilfried, called serene family love. I don't think you'll be treated cold, because that relationship will continue, and I promised Dear Ferdinand and Geebe Risegang. It's okay."

Brunhilde turned into a very subtle face in the words I had twisted desperately, and his adoptive father turned to the face.

"Rosemaine, does that make me look stupid enough to welcome Geebe Grechelle's daughter to the Second Lady and treat her cold?

"Huh? Uh, I'm thinking you'll work pretty hard as an Aub"

"What is that? Here."

My grumpy face adoptive father puffs me in the cheek. When it hurt plain and I asked for help, "Uncle, please help me," my uncle said, "Huh!" and immediately paid my adoptive father's hand back.

"Guh!? Add or subtract!"

"Dear adoptive father...... It sounded amazing, but do you need healing?

"No, good. More than that, its proximity seems to want a second lady, after swallowing everything, but is it better with the opposite position?

Asked if he would take a stand against Brunhilde's determination, I turn my gaze to Brunhilde. Brunhilde smiled nicely.

"Dear Rosemayne, I wanted to transmit the fashion and I wanted to be near Rosemayne's side. I am pleased that hope has been fulfilled, and from now on, as Second Lady, I hope to disseminate the epidemic through Lady Florencia and Lady Rosemaine. And I want to challenge you to create fashion as a clan of lords."

Brunhilde's hopeful face was not that of those who would be sacrificed to contain the Risegang nobles. Rather, it's the face of an ambitious man trying to fulfill his hopes to the fullest because he found a chance to do so.

... Brunhilde is so cool.

"If I were to become Second Lady, I would take on the social in the realm instead of Master Rosemayne. Lady Rosemayne doesn't need to remember the old socializations. We want to make sure that there are no inconveniences when Mr. Wilfried and Mr. Rosemayne rule Aerenfest as Mr. and Mrs. Aub."

"That's a side book. I saw that heart, and I liked it. I admit to the Second Lady of Zilvester."

... Your uncle liked it, huh?

With his eyes blinking at me, my uncle sat back in a good mood and began drinking tea. Brunhilde looks at me still and awaits my statement, whether he agrees or disagrees.

"I think Brunhilde's determination is best for Aerenfest. But I, Brunhilde, have trouble quitting."

Brunhilde laughed small at my remarks.

"Let us not serve Master Rosemaine until we graduate from the House of Lords. After that, it must have been assumed that you would quit your job for the sake of marriage, right?

"That's true..."

"I will educate Bertilde and Greater so that Lady Rosemaine will not have any trouble. Rest assured."

Women are getting married and quitting, so my adoptive father also told me to raise new people and take in the finished generation of parenting. I look around at the approaching sides of my age and feel a little lonely.

My adoptive father, who watched us interact like that, slowly exhaled and opened his mouth.

"Brunhilde, if he was planning on welcoming his son-in-law, what would Grechelle do with the trail?

"I have a sister. It would be better for Grechelle if Bertilde received a little better son-in-law after I had become Second Lady and made Grechelle a trading city than I would now receive a son-in-law. … it seems that the Second Lady has a boy, so we are also considering having him succeed you."

Looks like Brunhilde was originally going to welcome an outstanding man from other realms who would support Grechelle. But if Entovickern doesn't succeed, it's hard to get a son-in-law. Few of us are good enough to come to a place where we don't know if change will succeed.

Especially now that Entvikkern's schedule has been rescheduled as a result of the adoptive mother's pregnancy and changes have been made to the plan, Brunhilde seems to think it more important to invest in Entvikkern's success as a second lady than to take a son-in-law.

"Do we scorn ourselves," said Geebe Grechel, if Aub were to take the lead in developing the city, "but things would work a lot smoother if Brunhilde stood in between.

"I have my intentions and my reasons. I don't want Aub's pet, I want the Second Lady's position to make the most of my abilities as a supporter of Aerenfest."

Brunhilde's presentation is over.

With a confident face: "I don't mind if you cut me off with my little girl's bullshit. Because it moved arbitrarily for that," Brunhilde said.

My adoptive father laughs and gets up. Then he stood in front of Brunhilde and reached out.

"The mind of the other, received. Apply to see Geebe Grechel. Prepare your costume and demon stone to go up on the stage with a feast that will last spring."

"I'm afraid so."

Brunhilde had a winning grin and took that hand. Sarasa and deep red hair slip through her back.

... Ugh, Brunhilde is your adoptive father's second wife.

It's what Brunhilde wanted, and I know it's best for Aerenfest. But it's just a little hard to raise your hands and bless. After all, the Second Lady seems unfamiliar with my senses. I think "because that's the kind of culture" for listening, and I'm not so resistant, but when someone close to me becomes the Second Lady, I feel a little subtle.

... and because there's a First Lady who's drowned.

It is only in that aspect that Brunhilde's great victory can be seen, because it is only in the natural world that the father can decide to win the marriage as he wishes.

"... hmm? Ordnants?"

My uncle, who was eating sweets, shrugged so that he could stare out the window. We all turned toward the window together, but we can't see the shadows or the shapes of Ordnants.

"Dear uncle, where are you?

"... you should see it soon"

As my uncle said, after about ten seconds, I began to see the shape of Ordnants. While I was amazed at my amazing vision, Ordnants came into this room. And get down on your father's arm.

"Commander of the Knights, this is Gerlach speaking."

At the same time everyone changes their complexion and stares at the Ordnants. The Knights with Matthias and the others should be on their way to Gerlach to investigate. What happened?

"I was checking out a bunch of hidden rooms, and Gerlach's son spoke of the possibility of Geebe survival. Please come to the site as soon as possible."

It was your uncle who stood up the most. Eye to eye with adoptive father, nodding at each other.

"Calstead leaves it here and I focus on taking in Risegang"

"Uhm. I won't screw up this time either. What only brings you home"

That's what my uncle said, he took his side and jumped out of the room.

"Dear adoptive father, Matthias and the others..."

"We will have Bonifatius help us. Calstead, we're going back."

Your father, who looks like he's still popping up, grips his fist and nods at his adoptive father's words. And the adoptive father looked down upon me, and slapped me on the forehead.

"Rosemaine, the other side is going. I know you're in a hurry, but there's no more Ferdinand who's been taking care of them. Act with that in mind that there is no immediate shelter for them if they do anything better."

"... Yes"

We're going to hurt each other, just like before, and my foster father left the room early enough.
