Ascendance of a Bookworm

"Very impromptu request."

Ferdinand, who was peering into the water mirror from behind me, answered before I opened my mouth.

"Even though we got Gluthrithheit, Rosemaine, who got the foundation, is already Aub Ahrensbach. Therefore, we cannot issue such an order."

"Does Master Ferdinand not know the importance of the House of Lords!? The House of Lords is being vandalized by the rest of us! I don't have time for this."

If Dietrinde is going to the House of Lords in search of Zent's position, the library of the House of Lords where Gluthrithheit is housed is the most dangerous. Solange and Schwartz will be the only ones there right now. If you recall the appearance of the soldiers of Lanzenave who were rampant in the aristocratic district of Arlensbach, you can easily imagine vandalizing the library by the Lanzenave people and Dietrinde.

"Dear Ferdinand, Dr. Solange is in the library of the House of Lords... and Dr. Hirschühl is also in the House of Lords."

Hillsur informed the Ordnants here and there of the presence of the suspicious and asked the royal and central knights for rescue. If the Central Knights are turning around, wouldn't Hirschühl be in a pretty dangerous position, too? So is Rymund, who acts with Hillsur.

"... somehow, no matter what, Dr. Hirschühl seems safe, but his standing position is dangerous, right? Wouldn't it be better if Dunkelferger would help us?

When I looked back and said so, Ferdinand said coldly, "You're the one in the most dangerous position, fool". Then look at Aub Dunkelferger in the water mirror with a harsh look and say in a quiet tone.

"I also think it is a liberal matter for the House of Lords to be vandalized. I also understand the importance of the House of Lords. Still, it is not easy to issue such a great decree. After the royal family was rescued by Rosemayne's decree, or if the Dietrindes had already acquired the foundations of Gluthrithheit and the country, Rosemayne could be blamed for transcendental acts or defamed of traitors"

It does not necessarily end with the royalty saved by my issuing the decree being honestly thankful. Fortunately, it is very likely that he will make an unscrupulous demand for kindness instead of making a leap to take me into the royal family with the gluthrithheit in his hand and try to escape the slander of the rebels, Ferdinand groans. If I recall the way royalty has done so far, I can only nod at Ferdinand's words.

"If Rosemaine was put at a disadvantage by issuing the decree, what position would Dunkelferger, who calls himself Zent's sword, be in?

Ferdinand told Aub Dunkelferger that he is likely to take the Zent side.

"Dear Ferdinand, aren't you disrespectful as much as you want? I'm not going to do anything outrageous like that while I'm asking you to issue a decree."

"So they say you're sweet."

Laughing at Hun and me with his nose, Ferdinand turns to Aub Dunkelferger.

"A long, long history Dunkelferger Aub will have made sometimes ruthless decisions for his own territory. Naturally, I can't say anything sweet about being an Aub who protects his own territory, but I can't really look at the situation where it's possible to put all the blame on Rosemaine."

"No matter what the emergency, we can't get the Knights out of Dunkelferger to the center without a decree. Are you going to run rampant like Lanzenave and Dietrinde and shut up about the rest of us getting Gluthris Heights? Master Rosemayne is the only candidate for the next Zent with Gluthris Height!

Aub Dunkelferger never said, "Never imitate such outrageous things". Though I said I would defend the House of Lords, I said the sword of Zent, but I did not say I would defend me. It is used separately from "Me of Aub Ahrensbach" and "Me of the next Zent candidate" in the conversation.

"Now there's only one person who can save Jürgenschmidt!

"I'm not alone"

I looked back unexpectedly. I am certainly not the only one with the book of Mestionora. By copping from me, I have here the Zent who deserves to be able to carry out Zent's business.

... but Master Ferdinand...

I bet you have no desire to be a Zent. I hoped for the study threesome in Arlensbach. I thought I would crush it again in the spirit of self-sacrifice, and I grabbed Ferdinand's chest.

"Dear Ferdinand, please wait. That's..."

"You will be the next Zent, Aub Dunkelferger."

"Huh?"

"... what?

My head turns white on Ferdinand's words. Looking up at Pocan and Ferdinand, Ferdinand distorted his mouth with a hoot.

"Didn't you say you heard the report from Master Hannelore? Rosemayne lost the gluthris height. Mestionora's incarnation brings gluthris height and prayer to God again to Jurgenschmidt. The incarnation of the goddess is to give the gluthris height to whoever thinks of it, and it will not become a Zent itself."

Ferdinand flashes his challengingly thin golden eyes as he says that shamelessly.

"Aub Dunkelferger, you agree that showing your power to the incarnation of the goddess will get a gluthris height from Rosemayne. If you fail to save the royal family now that the Central Knights are on the enemy, you will be awarded the Gluthris Height to become the next generation of Zent. Please be prepared to assume all responsibility for your request to Rosemayne in Dunkelferger"

Aub Dunkelferger stares at Ferdinand with his eyes open. Ferdinand only glowed his eyes challengingly, leaving him with a softly social smile.

"I'm Aub Dunkelferger."

"Rosemaine is Aub Ahrensbach. Are you just wanting to get a big name and ramble with Dunkelferger putting the blame on Rosemaine, or are you so sincere that you want to accommodate the crisis of Jürgenschmidt even if you are later appointed to ZENT...... I would like you to indicate the intention of Dunkelferger, who asked me to issue a decree."

Ferdinand laughs naturally that this one also prepares the means to protect Rosemayne and Arlensbach, just as Dunkelferger wants the premise to defend his self-government.

"Sometimes and in some cases, you can be the next Zent. You should also discuss this with the First Lady often. It's not a good thing to make a decision alone. Besides, some territories won't be happy with Dunkelferger's solitude. Have you heard the news?

Although in the form of a question, Ferdinand is obviously saying, "Root it ourselves".

"Most importantly, Rosemayne just got back from Aerenfest and needs a break. I'm not in such a physical condition that I can put you on the battlefield. Besides, the knights, who were Lord of Arlensbach, have not yet returned over Bindebalt because of the top priority given to returning the knights of Dunkelferger. We can't issue a warrant if we have a request."

Ferdinand gently took my hand, mentioning the presence of the knights who had not returned from Aerenfest's expedition.

"Dunkelferger's decision will be asked tomorrow's three bells"

Ferdinand can hang up the correspondence or ask me in a whisper. I nodded cocklessly and asked Aub Dunkelferger, who seemed not to be recovering from the confusion, to smile "good day" and close his eyes and cut off his communication.

"I could buy you some time for one night, but you're going to need to finish it by the end of the night"

Ferdinand exhaled to confirm that the communication had been completely cut off, and glanced at me "not to ride cheaply on a request from another realm".

"You decided to be Aub Ahrensbach. Candidate Zent is the most alarming word and should not be heard."

"But I'm worried about the library in the House of Lords. She can't get in touch with Dr. Solange..."

Leaving aside the requests from Dunkelferger, I can't help but wonder how the House of Lords is doing. If you have enough strength and magic, you want to head right for it. If Dunkelferger can help you, you have a better chance of winning on it.

"I wasn't told the Ordnants wouldn't fly. Let's not have a problem yet. You don't have to worry. Dunkelferger always works. It's not a territory where you can pretend not to see while you have the means to take it. I don't know how long it will take to root, but I didn't say no to the due date of tomorrow. Think of it as only tonight you can rest. [M] What you need now is rest. Like you worry more about yourself than you worry about others."

He used the transfer team many times to move the Dunkelferger knights. Ferdinand said he needed full rest, not just medicine.

"... if I go to sleep, I'm going to have another nightmare, so it's a hundred million bucks."

Even if your body wants rest, you're afraid of rest. Ferdinand frowns slightly at my whining, "Do you also need medication to sleep?"

"I don't like your pills to wake up in that nightmare. It sucks to wake up..."

"But no matter how sturdy you've become, it's time to fall. As much as I need a healing pill for dinner. Don't overconfident your strength."

I was handed a restorative medicine with kindness, and I had no choice but to receive it.

At dinner there were also reports from Retizia. Listen to what happened until Dietrinde wrote to me and how he responded to it. They say someone tried to open Lanzenave's door from beyond, or inquired in Ordonanz about the knights during the transfer in the dormitory of the House of Lords. Apparently, she sent me a letter from her who boiled her career when she put it on hold because she needed my opinion on how to answer it.

"Be careful not to give out any extra information because you can leave it unattended"

"Yes, sir."

Nodding Retizia looked pale and not resting slowly. He had the same face I had in mind as the morning Merhior, like he wasn't just busy. I don't care how you look at it, it's not the look on the child's face.

"Oh, this fish..."

"The fishermen saved by Master Rosemayne thanked me and delivered it. Master Ferdinand taught me how to eat Rosemayne's choice and let me cook. Does it fit your mouth?

I don't know what fish is in a dish with lots of spices, but I have a salt grill of white fish. It's really simple, it's just a salt grill. It seems that Retizia worried that I could serve this dish, but she served it out of her mind.

"Me, Aerenfest said it was a rare way to eat, but I know exactly what fish tastes like and I love it. Master Retizia asked the cook for a less familiar cooking method, didn't she? I'm also glad that Ferdinand remembered my taste."

I thanked Retizia and smiled nicely at Ferdinand.

"I'm not familiar with Arlensbach's food yet, I just thought this one would be good for you"

As Ferdinand put it, Arlensbach's dishes, where spices are plentiful for my physical condition right now, are a little too irritating. The others were little by little, but only the salt grill was complete even in the absence of appetite.

I was satisfied with the salt grill, but also the movement of the cutlery of Retizia is dull. Smiling and talking to me, but I couldn't tell you the meal was going on.

"Master Retizia, please bring your escort knight here."

When I had finished my meal, I invited Lettizia. Retizia approaches with her eyes blinking and becomes just a little wary of what the escort knight with Retizia intends to do.

"Master Retizia worked very hard, getting into a lot of trouble. I think you used to protect Arlensbach while we were away. Let us thank Lady Retizia and pray that a good night's sleep will come with the blessings of Schlartraum"

Retizia changes her complexion to my words and shakes her neck to the side.

"You do not need to use Master Rosemaine's help for me. Feelings are enough."

"Okay. Okay, just feelings..."

To Retizia, who tries to resign, I put out a stamp and pray.

"Shullertraum, the god of dreams, give Lady Retizia a comfortable sleep and happy dreams."

When the light of white blessings poured down on Retizia, Retizia's eyes seemed to melt asleep. In a few seconds, it's going to flutter and collapse. Her escort knight embraced it aggressively.

"I guess there were days when I couldn't sleep even if I wanted to, when this degree of blessing showed so much effect. Please let Master Retizia rest slowly."

"I'm afraid, Master Rosemaine"

The escort knight retreats with Retizia in his arms. I saw Letitzia's side servants chase him on a fast foot.

"Rosemaine, come."

Ferdinand said so and offered me his hand. You escort me like something obvious, I put my hand on it. Maybe he wore it every day against Dietrinde during the year and a half he was in Arlensbach? With that in mind, Ferdinand's other hand blocked my sight.

"Master Ferdinand?

"Shullertraum, the god of dreams, give Rosemayne a comfortable sleep and happy dreams."

White light fills the field of vision blocked by Ferdinand's hands. I felt my head whitening and my body suddenly gained weight. When you think your foot is unbound, it is held and held up just like the earlier Retizia.

"Sleep not against the blessings of Schlartraum. I'll have nightmares tonight."

You seem to have slept well thanks to the blessings of Schlartraum. I woke up feeling so neat.

"Are you awake, Master Rosemaine? You look a lot better. I'm relieved."

I stroke my chest down like a leaselator was horny. Breakfast is eaten in each room, so I was supposed to hear from my neighbors over breakfast. There are fish out there. They thought I liked him so much.

Last night, after I was forced to sleep by Ferdinand, he told the proximity that Ferdinand had explained my condition and how to deal with it.

"Something went wrong in the House of Lords, and I also heard a request from Aub Dunkelferger."

"The escort knights have been ordered to prepare for battle. If he accepts the request from Dunkelferger, Mr. Rosemayne will have to accompany him."

"The border gates in Kilnberga have been closed for a long time, so we're not very familiar with them, but since Zent moves out of the center every year to open and close the border gates, we should move to the border gates in the center."

The route from Lanzenave's hall to the centre is like going into the middle of an enemy formation, and cannot be used urgently because it will require the creation of a brooch to pass through the dormitories of the House of Lords. They're planning to use the border gates to get to the House of Lords. In that case, it cannot be transferred without my accompaniment.

"After breakfast, they're resting until the three bells. I keep one of Earlensbach's books."

"Well! Can I do some reading at a time like this? It's really good because Master Ferdinand said it was good, isn't it?

I stared at the book that Lieselator had placed at my desk for service. It's been too long since I've read.

"Let's get some rest until Dunkelferger hears from you."

And three bells rang.

Civilians tell me that Dunkelferger has contacted me urgently, and I stand in front of the water mirror with Ferdinand. Beyond the water mirror was also the figure of the First Lady with Aub Dunkelferger.

"What's Aub Dunkelferger's response?

"Protecting the House of Lords, defending Jürgenschmitt and saving the royalty are paramount priorities. Dunkelferger is the sword of Zent. Despite the means, we cannot overlook them. Lady Rosemaine's decree is hereby requested."

I remember my admiration for Dunkelferger, who launched an attitude of protecting Jürgenschmidt no matter what the circumstances were. Nor does the First Lady say no to Aub's choice, and she looks at this one quietly.

"Okay. Ask Dunkelferger to rescue the House of Lords and hence protect Jürgenschmitt."

"What Dunkelferger craves is the decree of Mestionora's incarnation. We must let those in the House of Lords know at first sight that this place makes sense."

And when I was told to come to the House of Lords while boasting of the gluthrithheit, I nodded.

"You don't need to be guided. We go from the border gate to the House of Lords. You'll see at a glance that there's a gluthris height here."
