Ascendance of a Bookworm

Sleepless Night

Wanting to get away from the demon stone right away, I took my seat by accident. He didn't give any signal to serve the side, so he wouldn't pull the chair, naturally. There was a noise with Gatan, and everyone present paid attention to me.

"Oh, you know, I... I remembered something I had to tell Charlotte in a hurry with my adoptive mother. I need to ask you to collect the needles about the temporary sewing of the costume. Hey, Lieselator."

"Sure, it's not a rush, but it's not like I'm asking you to sit on a feast like this."

I gently press my shoulder while the reseller says so, giving instructions to sit back down. But I can't stay here. I can't take my gaze off the Demon Stone because of my glare, I have goosebumps on my arms, and my whole body is complaining about leaving this place right now.

"But I, I'm going back to Arlensbach tomorrow afternoon, so I have to make a temporary stitch in the morning. Because of the rapid growth, I also have trouble costuming to meet the royal family."

"Dear Rosemaine, I can't do anything to make allowance that morning and collect the needles that morning, and I'm not yet in a state where I can put the merchants in the castle. You should probably do some temporary stitching when you get back from Arlensbach."

"Rosemaine"

Ferdinand called my name so as to block the words of the reseller. By turning towards Ferdinand, the demon stone disappears from his sight, and his shoulder strength falls off forever. Until earlier, Ferdinand, who had made a making smile to hide his bad mood, was now on the top of the usual Buddha.

"What is it, Master Ferdinand?

"I need to talk to you a little."

My uncle raised his hand gently, "Wait," the moment he was shown with his hand to go where there were not many people.

"Ferdinand, is that what you need after seeing the status of the feast now?

"As Lady Bonifatius said, at least not after the feast. It's a very complicated situation now."

Leonore also agreed with his uncle. I don't really understand "very complicated situations". Leonore and Lieselator tell me when I tilt my neck with my hands on my cheeks.

When we headed to Kilnberga, there were a number of adoptive fathers' sides and knights who accompanied us to move the transfer formation. For this reason, it seems to the knowledge of my superiors that I am in possession of Gluthrithheit and that I have been given the magic of courtship from the royal family at the hands of Aub.

... in three days, the information will go around to the aristocratic city, right?

At the time he was given the royal magic equipment after Aub's hand, Aub said he would have indicated his willingness to comply with the royal demands. Apparently, the dissolution of the engagement to Wilfried has already been received by the nobles as confirmed.

I have been proposed to the royal family, and Aub's acceptance has made me an unofficial royal fiancée, and only a few moments until the Lords' Council, where there is an official announcement, I am in the position of a maiden who is troubled by the love she is seeing goodbye to. They are watched raw and warm by the noble women, "Love is beautiful, too," he said.

... Ugh... Isn't that pathetic that you haven't even had your first love and you feel sorry for your broken heart?

"We are fortunate that Arlensbach's rescue play is celebrated as a storyline beauty story. But we don't need any more scandals."

It would be best to consider the outside world to marry the royal family by severing it from me as being an endless love, with a unilateral suspicion of Ferdinand. I don't want you to get involved from the Ferdinand side in order to do that, Leonore told me implicitly. Ferdinand put his arms together and exhaled slowly after seeing everyone present and their proximity, and then the people in the small hall who were subtly paying attention here.

"Rosemaine's state of health is, in my opinion, more urgent and important than her surrounding gaze. However, if you decide that it is more important to protect Rosemaine from rumors and rumors, you will follow your opinion."

"Right."

Ferdinand's pull leaves an air of relief for his uncle and those present. I, on the contrary, became anxious and stared unexpectedly at Ferdinand.

"... it's been a year and a half since I left. There will already be an attending dedicated to Rosemaine, and I'm not going to invade anyone else's territory with me. Not sure you don't have a dedicated doctor?

At that moment, my adoptive father and father slipped away softly. "Call me if you think you need help," Ferdinand stood up slowly after staring at the two.

"No, I'm the one helping Rosemaine!

Looking down at the opposing uncle for a moment, Ferdinand turned back his curly heel. There is a strange feeling of agitation on my back moving away. At least I don't have a new attending, and I have a consciousness that I'm not feeling well.

"Leonore, I..."

"Dear Rosemaine, at least until the feast is over... Too many people now. You don't seem to be very aware, but even the grown Rosemaine is attracting attention."

Leonore added in a whisper, urging me to sit back.

"Cornelius is on his way to get information, and Master Ferdinand is on his way to Haltmoot. Please don't move here."

To my opinion as an escort knight protecting the Lord, I nevertheless shook my neck to the side. I don't want to be here. Leave your seat for a reason because you want to talk to your adoptive mother, Charlotte, or mother.

The feast ended with a made smile and cut through, feeling the various instructions coming out of Ferdinand and the proximity moving around busily. I wanted to talk to him after the feast, but Ferdinand told me that he had returned to the library a long time ago, and I had no choice but to go back to my room.

I had a dream. It's a dream of Gerlach's battle that I just went through today.

The surroundings are full of knights in blue cloaks with shields, blinded by cloaks that glitch, and I don't know where I'm going right now. Proceed without knowing. Pah, pah, the surroundings dazzle unexpectedly, the anger sounds, and the arrows fly across.

My heart pulses violently with Bakubaku and my ears are ringing Keane. In the midst of breathing pain and the fear of wanting to escape immediately, the body is fixed with the handle gripped. I can't move as if I've become a demon stone.

After seeing the strong rainbow light, various objects began to fly. A loud voice sounds like a weapon crossing, and red splashes fly in sight one after the other. Someone hit my arm. A disfigured knight is hit with Don and played. Katsun, there was a sound of Katsun and Demon Stone hitting. All shocks are transmitted through the hand holding the handle.

My body got cold. The roots of the teeth don't fit. My breath was painful and my tears came zero on my own.

I couldn't even afford to feel scared, and the part of me that was in such a state that my memory was squeamish turned out to be a nasty dream, and I kept repeating and repeating that I wouldn't allow it to fade away.

I thank you for coming to help, and the man who was thanking me, the next moment, he fell into a demonic stone. It was Geebe who was said to have begun demonic petrification that was falling into the room where he jumped in.

I got cold around my stomach. If I bite my back teeth off, I feel my mouth squirting and bitter like I bit it in the sand. The cold sweat kept blowing out.

With a mockery of them, Graozam absorbs everyone's attack with his blackish, demon-stone-like prosthetic hand. The deafening laughter was repeated over and over with a high and low voice. The flames burn extensively as the blue flame-wielding arms swing.

When the blue flame peeled off, the body was about half turned into a demon stone. A creepy graozam, like a demonic stone stuck in the flesh, wearing the flesh on the demonic stone, rushes over with a black prosthetic hand.

Even when attacked with water cannons popped by black arrows in an attempt to repel them, they loom as they demonize their faces. His face, which had become a demonic stone on the spots, was full of killing intentions, and his madly grey eyes were gleaming.

Demon stones, demon stones, demon stones everywhere you look...... The demon stone strikes me. I screamed desperately.

"Don't come!

It was on my bedroom when I realized it. Looks like you jumped up, your torso is up. The sleeping roll was sweating, snug and heavy, sticking to my skin with my hair. Even though the middle of spring is approaching, it's still cold at night. The neck and back that touched the air got cold all at once. My heart is still hitting the early bell and I can see my breathing is rough.

In a dark sleeping area, the sights in your dreams circle around your head. I saw illusions of sparkling demonic stones falling one after the other. I breathe desperately, holding down my chest with one hand and my mouth that is about to vomit. She noticed her symptoms even though she didn't like them.

"... PTSD..."

PTSD is about the mind taking damage and interfering with life through intense shock experiences and intense mental stress that can't happen in everyday life. It must have been because self-defense worked that I couldn't remember very clearly because I felt like I had a memory when I tried to remember the battle.

"Contact Master Ferdinand..."

I stopped my hand when I tried to contact Ferdinand, who came to mind the most as someone I could talk to. To fly the Ordnants, you have to take the magic equipment that looks like a yellow demon stone.

As I dreamed earlier, various demonic stones float up behind my brain one after the other. My breath is getting painful like I'm being strangled. I knew it was Ordonanz, but I could not reach out, and I fisted my hand and held it in.

... What shall we do? I can't even call for help like this.

My whole body trembles and I can't help it. I grip my arms tightly with my arms crossed so as to embrace my own body.

That's when I heard footsteps across the tent. As a vic, I will set up an immediate stamp if I do not respond to my enemies.

"Dear Rosemaine, is it all right if I come inside?

"Eudit, how to speak such a voice..."

It was the voices of Eudit and Greater that were heard from beyond the tent. Hurry up and turn off the stapes and wipe the sweat off your neck with your own cuffs, remembering that today's sleepless turn was these two.

"Master Ferdinand and Haltmut gave me instructions. As knights are trained, there may be people who become mentally unstable, so be very careful what Rosemaine and Hannelore do tonight. I was a little scared because this was my first fight against people, too. Let me join you for a moment."

With that said, Eudit came inside the tent. Greater Tier came in with me, but seeing how I was snuggling with sleeping sweat. No, I left the tent as soon as I was ready to get dressed.

"Originally, it's the adult knights who go into such a place of battle. This time there was so much difference between the number of people and the enemy that the apprenticeship was also rushed out..."

Eudit started talking to himself in the dark. I listened to the voice of Eudit in a hospitable manner because I was conceived to be asked a lot of questions by Eudit.

"Tonight the apprentices are gathered in the Cavalier dormitory because they are likely to become mentally unstable. The superior will listen to you and the doctor will face you. Sometimes flowers seem to be given to those who wish. So I asked Lady Florencia for permission to enter the greenhouse for when Lady Rosemaine became anxious."

Looking at the beautiful flowers would calm you down, Eudit said, laughing at Nico and straining his chest like he was good at it. Maybe the flowers given to the knights are not greenhouse flowers. Doesn't that mean flower dedication?

"I think even a gentle scented cup of tea while looking at beautiful flowers would give you a little relief. How about that?

"... can I walk out in the middle of the night like this?

The escort knights who accompanied us to Arlensbach should be returning to their respective homes today so that we can take some time. I think the number of escort knights is too small even if you think of putting a darmuel guarding outside the door on the escort.

"There are a lot of knights packed inside the castle today, so you can contact the Knights and they'll be fine. We've already talked about it. We've arranged it."

... Ah, it seems the knights couldn't correct Eudit's mistake either.

No one must have been able to tell the truth to Eudit, who worries purely about me and makes greenhouse arrangements. I'm going to stop correcting it, too, and sweeten it to Eudit's generosity.

"Thank you. I know, Eudit. … I look forward to the evening greenhouse"

I'll be in touch everywhere.

Eudit left the tent laughing happily. Instead, Greater comes in with a worrying look.

"Eudit seems tense, but is Master Rosemayne okay? Shouldn't you take your time on the bunk?

"... Actually, I had a bad dream and I woke up. I think Eudit's offer would be appreciated as it seems to be hard to get Schlartraum's blessing tonight and I'm in the mood to get a little off the sleeping table. … Besides, it would be better to go to the greenhouse at night than to ask Ferdinand for help at this late hour?

Otherwise, there's no way they're eating this far. In the old days, Ferdinand would have been called and it would have all ended with a round throw at Ferdinand. When I asked him as if I had gone aside, Gretia lowered her brow butt sadly, "I am sorry for not being able to respond to your request".

"You don't have to worry about it. Because that's what aristocracy is all about."

Greater Tier lights the lights inside the tent, brings in a smaller toilet with hot water, and brings costumes for going out. When all is ready, he takes off my bedclothes and wipes the sweat with a hard squeezed towel.

"... Growing up isn't all good"

Greater said potpourri.

"The surrounding eyes change. There are more things you will not be able to do and will not be allowed to do before. I was premature, so many times I was forgiven for a child the same age but not for myself. It seemed very unreasonable."

I'm not going to be particularly different, but my reactions around me change completely. Apparently Greater has had such an experience. So he knows a little bit about how I feel confused when he tells me to review my relationship with Ferdinand and my sense of distance because of his rapid growth, or because he makes arbitrary speculations that I like from around him.

"Dear Rosemayne, she can't sleep well, either, Master Hannelore. I went out on the balcony and got word that I had an offer to serve my sleepless side of the line that I wanted to get some air outside. Why don't you invite me to the greenhouse? The knights will talk to each other about the same experience, so it might be a good idea to spend some time with Rosemayne and Hannelore tonight."

Among the knights gathered to clear their fears and worries in the Cavalier dormitories, the Lordship Candidates, who are in a position to command them, cannot be admitted. Eudit forcefully theorizes that Hannelore is the only one in the same position as me.

Hannelore seemed to be a Dunkelferger lord candidate and accustomed to the battle, but maybe even if he had ever participated in a ditter like me and in a practice game, it was the first time he'd actually fought like he was going to die in person. It is possible that you are spending the night with the same disgust.

"...... Eudit, try to invite me through my sleepless side-servicing. Never be pushy."

"Yes, sir."

It's only a little soothing to talk to Eudit and Greater, but it's not like your mood has disappeared. Close your eyes and it is the demonic stones of various colors that come to mind. Wanting to avoid nightmares, I decide to escape into the greenhouse at night. I wish I could sleep enough not to dream, but Hannelore also replied that I wanted to go out for a walk at night.

Ordonanz returns to the yellow Demon Stone. The missed yellow demon stone fell to his feet and he had goosebumps all over his body.
