Ascendance of a Bookworm - Chapter 252

Chapter 252

The collection of summer materials was completed successfully, and the fever finally went down.

After breakfast, when I was talking to Fran about today's schedule, I was told that the work was piled up because both the chief priest and I were away for a few days.

"I hope Kanfel or Fritak will be able to take the place of the chief priest sooner, " huh, and when I sighed, the escort Damuel lowered his eyebrows and shoulders as if in trouble. I gave up.

"Mr. Rosemine, I wonder if that's too much hope... It's not something that other aristocrats can easily replace Ferdinand." "... That's right. I 'm in trouble if I 'm told to take the place. things " is also unreasonable that the place of the priests length alone, to be kept tempered so that the temple around somehow if sharing the work with more than one person, more than priests length had to return to secular life, the number of times leaving the Temple I think it will increase more than ever. The bell of 3 rang, and after finishing the practice of Fespiel, he went to help the chief priest, and the chief priest called me with a very difficult face. "Rosemine" "What?" As I tilted my head, the chief priest moved his chin to show the sermon room. I don't remember doing anything that made me angry, but I can't see any emotions other than cool anger from this line of sight and the gesture of moving my jaw silently. Unconditionally, I want to apologize, "I'm sorry." Rather, I want to run away. He looked up at Fran with a stiff movement that seemed to make a squeaking noise, and asked for help with his eyes, but he slowly shook his head and was rejected. ……somebody help.

Gently distracted by everyone, I entered the crying sermon room. At the same time as sitting face-to-face in the sermon room, the chief priest stares at him with his golden eyes and takes a breather to correct his posture.

"I haven't heard, but it seems that Gilvester's sister in Ahrensbach will come at the end of the summer?"

"... that? Didn't you report?"

"I haven't heard. It's important."

"Sorry,"

I told the chief priest what he said in his adoptive father's office when the lord and his wife returned.

He said that he was scorned at the lords' meeting after replying from the temple about the death of the former temple chief, and that he would come to Ehrenfest to visit the grave.

As I talk, the chief priest, who had a difficult face, becomes even more difficult.

"Wait. Why is she at the lord's meeting?"

"Why ... you're married to the lord of Ahrensbach? From Ehrenfest, Florenzia is at the lord's meeting, of course. Isn't there an adoptive sister from Ahrensbach? ”When he tilted his head because he couldn't understand the question of the chief priest, the chief priest shook his head loosely.

"She married as the Third Lady. It's strange to accompany the First Lady to attend the lords'meeting. In fact, she shouldn't have been there last year. That's why she talked about the former temple chief during the lords' meeting. Because I was able to keep the joint venture hidden at all. "

It seems that only the first lady is involved in politics as an assistant to the lord. If you are on good terms with the First Lady, you may assist the First Lady, but the Second Lady and below are basically not involved in politics. It seems to be to avoid the situation of climbing the mountain with many captains.

"Oh, that's right ..."

"Don't you know at all ?" "Not at all. Sometimes I know."

The older sister who married as the third wife has been in Ahrensbach's politics until now. I understand that he was in a position where he could not be involved. By attending this year's lords' meeting, it can be seen that he was promoted to the first lady.

"But I don't know how things will change just because I know it ." " I don't know it at all. The first lady's family in politics is good and bad. Sensitive. In recent years Ehrenfest was heavily influenced by Frobel Turk in the west, where Gilvester's other sister was married and her first lady, Florenzia's parents' home, was a big influence.

" Do you know that?" I was forced to press the Holy Grail. ”

I heard that Frobel Turk's lord and his wife are weak because they are brothers and sisters.

"But Frobel Turk is still better."

Frobel Turk is in a difficult situation in the territory due to political change, so with this help a little, build a slightly superior relationship. It seems that it is.

"Ahrensbach is different. It's a territory that has been well-timed by political changes. If you become the first lady there, Ahrensbach's interference will increase in the future. Not a ratio "

The chief priest murmured with eyes looking at the troublesome things ahead. I know a little about the power relations of the surrounding territories, but I still don't know how Ehrenfest itself will change.

"What kind of person is your adoptive father's sister? I don't even know your name . " "My name is Georgine. Before Gilvester was born, he was considered to be the next lord of Ehrenfest . " "I know. The letter that the former lord kept was written about the situation. "

" ... I haven't heard it. "

I said," I thought it was a love letter, so I wanted to keep it quiet. " An oversized thunder was dropped by the chief priest who held down his temple.

If it's a love letter, it seems that you shouldn't hide it.

"If the deep relationship as love, there is also Do not be a selfish concealed. Criminals opponent it is often of the things that must be investigated, what should be the fool! Accomplice!?"

"Tsu I'm sorry!"

Concealment He gave me a sermon about the danger of being made into an accomplice, and I dropped my shoulders.

"Huh ... I heard that Gilvester's maternal grandmother was the daughter of the lord of Ahrensbach, and that Georgine was married .... Honestly, I don't know much about Georgine either. I was already married when I entered the castle. ”According to my adoptive father's words, he seems to be a person who keeps steaming the finished story forever and sarcastic and sarcastic. I know he's the one who really wants to avoid the conflict between his brothers, but I don't know if it's just for Gilvester, who has taken over the position of lord, or for everyone.

"I've only seen it once. My father ... I should have attended the funeral of the predecessor lord, but I've only seen it from a distance and never even greeted him."

I don't understand. I didn't, and I blinked several times. The wife of a lord of another territory, the daughter of the deceased, is coming. This time, even I, the adopted daughter of the lord, could be greeted, so my half-brother, the chief priest, should have been greeted as well.

"What? Why? Greetings ..."

"I was in the temple shortly before the death of my predecessor because I was estranged by Gilvester's mother, so I was attending the funeral as a temple official. as, Do since there is not had in place. of course, was not a partner, such as a greeting. it's just talking about it "of the words was indifferently, be allowed not to get to the relatives of the position in the funeral of the place, temple The figure of the chief priest who sends his father from a distance as a related person comes to mind, and my hand on my knee becomes a fist.

"Well then, priests length is not is whether'm gonna be could not get out as relatives to the funeral of ... father."

"It's right?"

"Yes, but I is not it ......!"

As saying that it is not the fact that what I yelled at the chief priest who raised one eyebrow.

"Because the chief priest, who has little relationship with the family, calls him his father, the former lord is definitely an important family for the chief priest, right? "Why do you have such a plain face !?"

"... Even if I have the right to get angry, why do you get angry? Doesn't it matter to you?

" I don't understand. "

"I mean, kind of, to really sad, one lonely, is not it either. ..., if I thought I also Do'm going to be so, ... much right to cry angry Datte to me" even in the family, in the family Now that I am not, I am not called to the funeral of my family, and if I am not good at it, I will not be informed. You may not even be able to pray for mercy completely outside the bed net.

"Calm down, Rosemine .... I'm asking you, don't cry now. The outside hearing isn't good." "What do you care about right now? "Show me!"

I stood up and asked for kindness, and the chief priest pulled out and lifted me up, saying, "Well, you're in trouble." Sit on your lap and snort.

"Is this all right?" It would be a problem to be told with such a good face. I don't feel comforted at all.

"It's not good. I can't find any fragments of kindness."

"It seems like my tears have stopped, so that's fine."

My angry claim was lightly swept away and immediately dropped from my knees.

Immediately after that, with a sigh, the power of the whole body is released. I sat down on the chaise longue again, feeling indescribable weakness.

"The story is too derailed. For the time being, in Gilvester's words, she has a rather annoying personality, so be careful. " "How should I be careful?"

"Not never in one person, please try that you are in it. As much as possible temple except feast was told that white attendance to walk take the escort and personal attendant. I am more than that not know the person, unexpected can exact caution"

about the family I don't accept complaints, but I'm fine with notes about aristocratic relationships. I sighed again, looking at the overprotective but lacking kindness of the chief priest.

...... I feel like I understand that the chief priest does not last long with his lover.

And one day when summer was nearing the end, Georgine came. Passing in front of the temple, I saw the aristocratic gate wide open and a number of carriages entering the aristocratic district, and I knew that I had arrived.

After that, it seems that Ordonants flew from the castle to the chief priest and was informed that a welcome party for Georgine would be held. I was summoned by the chief priest and told to head to the castle for the welcome party.

"Come on, princess. Which costume should I wear?" As soon as I arrived at the castle, I was preparing for a welcome party. While asking by mouth, Richard's heart seems to have already been decided, and his gaze is staring at one costume.

"Rihyaruda is selected in not a than me? Watakushi, feast of welcome to pick up towards the other territory is the first thing. Because I do not know, Please select Do not"

"Yes, sir. No Please leave" of summer As it was over, autumn noble accessories were selected for the summer noble costumes. The hair ornament was not the usual luxurious one, but the intricately tied hair was covered with a veil with fine embroidery.

"Women in Ahrensbach always wear veils in official venues. It was the aunt of Gilvester, who was married to Ahrensbach, who brought the habit of veils to Ehrenfest. At that time, it was popular for everyone to imitate and put on a veil. ”

Richarda nostalgicly said, piercing the complicatedly tied hair with a pin and stopping the veil from falling. I will go.

"What kind of person is Georgine?"

"... He was a hard worker ." Richard's voice was heard a little sunk.

And the welcome party begins.

Today's dish is Ahrensbach's dish, which is familiar to my nostalgic hometown dish, so it seems that the recipe I gave is sealed. I didn't seem to get along very well, so I feel like my adoptive father is just hiding it.

Many of the aristocratic costumes gathered in the hall were A La Mniere style, as Richarda said. Most women wear veils, and men wear a thin, large piece of cloth over their shirts and trousers instead of a cloak.

After the admission of the lord clan, including me and the chief priest, today's protagonist, Georgine, came in.

He walks proudly with an elegant demeanor that can be recognized as a noble lady at a glance. The hair and eye color that can be seen through the thin veil is similar to Jill Vester, but the facial features are quite different. A beautiful woman with a deep carving and a clear and clear eye.

Wilfried and I all went forward in front of Georgine. Since Georgine is the daughter of the predecessor and the first lady of Ahrensbach, the greeting will be given here.

Two people greet each other side by side. Wilfried, who had only received greetings until now, said he had a hard time remembering it.

"Please forgive me for the blessing of the god-guided encounter on a good day when the god of fire, Leiden Shaft, shines."

Georgine greets her with a smile and lifts her red lips.

"Forgive me" With a little magical power in the ring, Georgine noticed Wilfried as they stood up after the blessing. The green eyes slowly move up and down as if looking from top to bottom.

"Well, it really looks like Gilvester when

I was little." "Am I like my father?"

Georgine laughs and nods to the happy Wilfried.

"Well, very. It's very similar." With a smiling smile and a very gentle voice, my skin was agitated for some reason. Involuntarily rub your wrist lightly. Am I the only one who felt strange?

Looking around, the only person who seemed to have a bitter face was the adoptive father, who had a rare Noh mask-like face that did not reveal any emotions. Everyone else, even the chief priest, smiles at Georgine and Wilfried.

"My aunt looks a lot like her aunt, and she's very beautiful."

Wilfried continues to talk innocently with a smile, perhaps because she doesn't feel anything at all, but for a moment, Georgine's eyebrows move sharply. I did.

"Oh, yeah? Your mother loved you very much?"

"Yes!"

Immediately after, the adoptive mother, who stepped forward with a smiling smile, stepped forward to hide Wilfried from Georgine.

"Please let me say hello, Georgine,"

said the adoptive mother, who knelt down. The adoptive father, who turned his eyes slightly, also stood next to his adoptive mother, and after looking at Georgine once, he knelt slowly.

Under a thin veil, I found Georgine's lips forming a very satisfying smile.

After the greetings of the lord and his wife, Georgine beckoned me, "Is it the temple chief you wrote to?" My heart jumps up and I'm surprised and move forward.

"Yes, I am."

" I was grateful for the information." Georgine, who laughed gently, was very elegant and had a beauty that she could honestly admire as a higher-grade woman.

"Jill Vester has always been a lazy man. Will he have a hard time with his adoptive father? It's hard to get such a childish child to the position of temple chief. How hard it is to stand as a symbol. I don't know. I'm really in trouble. "Is it acceptable because it's a conversation between relatives? Even with an elegant smile, my adoptive father is despised.

There was a part that made me want to nod a little, but as long as I was adopted as an adopted daughter, I think it's better to follow up for the time being.

"The job of the temple chief is certainly difficult, but he gave me Ferdinand as his guardian in consideration of me. My adoptive father is also thinking about various things."

"Well! It's really embarrassing for me and my relatives to let someone else guard my adoptive child despite becoming a foster parent. It's completely different from an early age to leave everything around me without doing anything myself. Isn't it? "

... I'm sorry, my adoptive father. My follow, it didn't help at all.

"I wonder if you could have an excellent guardian? Or ..."

Georgine turned to me with mercy, without saying whether he was forced into incompetence.

In her brain, she was forced to adopt her because of her abundant magical power, and it seems that she is being used as a temple chief with an incompetent guardian. I could see such a speculation from the eyes and words.

"My guardian, Ferdinand, is very good, Georgine."

"... Ferdinand, the name I heard somewhere ..."

Georgine looks at her adoptive father. I feel like I heard a voice saying, "I haven't been introduced."

The adoptive father, who has a face that does not show emotions like a Noh mask, glances back at the chief priest and introduces the chief priest with a humorous attitude.

"On the sister, here is Ferdinand. Half - brother. Since the sister on enters the castle from being marry, acquaintance is it seems that there is no" introduction has been priests length in front of Georugine in the movement, such as flowing straight I went forward. Gaze once and smile.

...... What! ??

The chief priest had a terrific smile. He kneels in front of Georgine and greets him with a smile that he has never seen before.

"Day good shining majesty of the fire of God Leiden shaft, to the meeting by leading your gods, your forgiveness please to pray a blessing,"

"will allow," about stand-up priests length is my guardian, a number of questions I received it and answered it with a dazzling smile. After all, it looks kind and refreshing about three times as much as usual laughter. To be honest, it doesn't look like the same person as the usual Buddha top.

……that's strange. Even though she has a very nice smile, she looks very disgusting.

After greeting the lords, Georgine began walking in the hall to receive greetings from the aristocrats. Since he is from Ehrenfest, he seems to have many acquaintances.

"Mr. Georgine, I'm nostalgic."

"Well, it looks fine and above all."

"I'm planning to hold a tea party during Mr. Georgine's stay. Please come. " "Well, by all means. I'm looking forward to it. ”

I think I was surrounded by women, and men are calling out to me. It seems to be a nostalgic and familiar person for generations above the thirties.

"Georgine-sama, it's still beautiful ..."

"Oh, you 're still good at speaking. Hohoho ..." With a gorgeous smile at the center of many aristocrats, handle people and play conversations. The social technique was wonderful, which made me think that he was the wife of the lord.
