Became the Academy’s Weakest Bookkeeper - Became the Academy’s Weakest Bookkeeper chapter 55

Arriving at Espera’s estate by carriage, the party received a warm welcome from the Count and entered the castle.

Numerous knights escorted the party, and the Count’s daughter, Louis, was unraveling the unresolved problems with the Count.

“My daughter! Is the academy life worth it?”

“It’s okay! Papa! It’s nice to meet a lot of good friends!”

“It’s so lucky! Papa…I’m glad that Louis made a lot of friends.”

The Count wipes his tears in front of Louis when he says that he has made a lot of friends.

Contrary to the dignified appearance before, the rest of the party couldn’t help but be puzzled as they looked at the count, who was only in front of his daughter.

“..It’s really serious. To be honest, I thought what Louis said in the carriage earlier was an exaggeration or a lie… Maybe it’s all true…?”

“Maybe it’s a shortened version of what I said…”

Looking at Louis talking with his father, Rommel looked at Louis as if he had pity for Hans.

Of course, it is natural and good for parents to be interested in and give affection to their children, but I have to say that excessive affection and interest are a little burdensome.

Anyway, Louis got on the Count’s horse and went into the castle, and Rommel and his party followed the Count.

” ..it’s really big.”

“I wonder how much money you have to spend to build a building like this.”

And inside the castle, the building of Count Espera was bigger than we imagined.

Long and short buildings were lined up around the tall tower, and there were always people around the Count’s mansion.

“..Actually, Count Espera. He said that he had great commercial success..I didn’t expect it to be this much.”

Hans rarely exclaimed.

Even if the whole building of Viscount Gorpin was brought here, it seemed that it would not be visible.

“Fufufu! Look! Prince Rommel! The majesty of the great Count Espera!”

Louie turned around and looked at Rommel and smiled wryly.

Louis wanted to show Rommel his family for a long time.

Although the nobles of the Empire did not like commerce, he raised his family in commerce where he was treated poorly and pointedly.

Louis had awe and respect for his family and for his ancestors.

Numerous heads of households and members of the family who miraculously raised the Espera family, which was an insignificant family, into a noble family that ruled the southern part of the empire.

I wanted to show this place, which contains the wishes and dreams of all those people, to my close friends and loved ones.

“I can’t help but admire, I knew that the Espera family was great, but seeing it in reality, it touches my heart more?”

” ..Huhuh! It’s okay! Let’s rest in peace here!”

“I’ve made good friends once, so let’s try to be treated like this.”

“I told you to treat me like a VIP!”

” Thank you. “

“What! Have this much!”

While talking to Louis and Dorando, the count’s head suddenly turned toward Rommel and he looked at Rommel with a terrifying expression on his face.

It’s like… as if she doesn’t want to talk to her daughter anymore, she’ll kill me if she touches me any more…

Although the Count didn’t speak directly… Such unspoken pressure began to engulf Rommel’s mind.

While they were traveling on horseback and talking about various things, the party arrived at the Espera family’s mansion before they knew it.

“Welcome! To Count Espera’s mansion!”

With Louis’ bold welcome, we slowly walked into the luxurious and lavish mansion.

************

“Come on, come on in! I welcome you as the lord of Count Espera!”

Pupuru poo poo poo poo.

Upon arrival, the first thing the Earl did after unpacking was to hold a banquet.

It was a banquet about the return of his lovely and proud daughter, Louis, to the family, and all the aristocrats in the vicinity of Count Espera had gathered.

The banquet started when the Earl, who had a glass full of luxurious white wine, raised the glass, and Rommel and his party attended the banquet without even taking off their uniforms.

” ..that’s extravagant.”

Rommel swallowed his saliva, looking at all the delicacies laid out in front of his table.

Meat dishes sprinkled with spices from the far east, and fish dishes, the southern specialty of the empire.

And salads and all kinds of wine to accompany the sumptuous dishes.

He was truly the king of luxury.

murmur murmur.

Aristocrats from all over the world were enjoying the banquet they had not seen in a long time and talking to each other.

The topic of the story was mainly about pirates roaming on the sea and the fleets of the newly appeared Kingdom of Spesia.

The Empire was not interested in the southern part of the Empire, so even if the fleet of the Kingdom of Spesia was sneaking around in the waters, the Empire did not take any action, and in the end, the Espera family took the commander-in-chief.

By joining forces with neighboring nobles, they formed their own troops, defended their merchant ships, and defended the sea, safely resuming commerce from threats from pirates and the Kingdom of Spesha.

“I called all the nobles who said they were quite powerful in this area.”

Place the calf tenderloin in your mouth and look around.

I saw people who were on the list I looked at before coming to Count Count, and there were many people I saw for the first time.

cackle.

While watching the banquet atmosphere in full swing, Louis stuffed cookies into his mouth and pricked his thigh with his finger.

” What’s up? “

“Hehe! It’s just that I like it!”

” great? “

“Yeah! That’s great! This is the first time I’ve brought friends!”

Louis smiled brightly and gulped the cookie over her throat.

“…Your father seemed like a good person.”

“Your father? Yeah! He’s a very nice person. He built the family on his own without any help.. He respects him very very much.. Although sometimes excessive affection is a problem…”

“Haha.. my father loved him very much.”

” ..that’s the problem..I don’t know why. I’m not that cute either.. I really don’t know..”

Louis shook her head from side to side and gently closed her eyes.

Are you that cute? not. You are a mature adult! Although… the chest is a little small, but still a full-fledged adult!

He couldn’t understand how the people around him were treated as children.

“Mmm!”

The moment I thought I should tell Papa to treat me like an adult now that I’m in the academy.

“It’s been a long time, Louis Young-ae.”

Someone broke in between Rommel and Louis.

********

“How have you been? I heard that you have entered the academy. How thrilled to hear the news..”

” ..who? “

“f*ck, James Geddes.”

A man looking at Louis and smiling broadly.

Well-groomed black hair, colorful clothes as if to show someone.

A man by the name of James stared straight into Louis’ face.

“You don’t know I’m talking to my best friend right now. I don’t think it’s polite to cut the conversation and come in.”

” ..Excuse me. The fact that I can see the young Louise, whom I have only seen from afar, so close…”

“Anyone you know? Louie?”

Rommel frowned as if uncomfortable, as the rudeness committed by Geddes James was not mutually acceptable to anyone who saw it.

“I don’t know. Hearing his name, he seems to be a new noble.”

“ .

Empires have unique names and surnames, unlike other countries.

This was a precedent made by the first emperor of the empire, and it was made to highlight the superiority and specialness of the empire.

The order of names and surnames was changed, in order to recognize at a glance that he was a nobleman of the empire and emphasize his speciality.

Therefore, the original name of Louis Espera was changed to Espera Louis.

However, there were exceptions.

An example of this was the new noble aristocrats who had been upgraded relatively recently.

To prove their differences from the old nobles, they did not change their names and surnames, but built them in order, in order to accommodate the changes of the coming times.

“So why did you approach me with rudeness?”

“Didn’t I just tell you before? It’s so nice to meet you…”

“Put the bullshit away.”

Louis’ feelings begin to change in an instant.

The smile turned into cynicism at some point, and the emotion had long since disappeared from the expression.

Not Louis of the Montegro Academy, but Louis, the daughter of Count Espera, appeared in front of James.

” ..this. “

James also clicked his tongue slightly as if he felt Louis’ change.

I thought it would be easy because I was only smiling, but… I was only showing a smile like that to that man.

“Don’t stare at it too much. I just wanted to make a suggestion to the young Louise.”

” ..proposal? “

“Yes, after this banquet, we will choose a partner and give you time to dance. Could you please give me a chance to be your partner, Louie Youngae?”

Rommel couldn’t contain his embarrassment at the man’s words.

Are all the southern nobles of the Empire open-minded? Or is that guy weird?

Whatever the case, the man was committing considerable rudeness toward Louis.

“…Did you say James?”

“Yes, yes. It’s not a bad story. Our family has long been a business partner with the Count.”

“Papa!!!”

Louie calls out to his father, who is talking with other nobles after inflating his cheeks with all his might.

In the sudden situation, James as well as Rommel clenched their mouths like honey-eaten idiots.

“What’s going on? Louie!!”

Count Espera, who heard Louis’ cry, ran to one step.

“He tormented me.”

Louis smiled mischievously and pointed to James, and the Count…

“Do you want to die?”

The Count began to approach James with a bloody expression on his face.
