Ascendance of a Bookworm Novel Part 4 Vol. 03

Rozemyne’s First Year at the Royal Academy Comes to a Close…

Finally reuniting with Ferdinand and the others, Rozemyne returns to the temple and to her duties as the High Bishop. There’s so much to do—the Dedication Ritual, supporting the printing industry, going to meetings, and tackling mountains of paperwork—so she’s as busy as can be.

But as winter draws to a close, her world continues to change. At the end of her first year at the Royal Academy, she’s forced into a tea party with all of the other duchies, and the sixth-years are preparing to graduate. Conversations focus on who to engage Rozemyne to, as her engagement will play a crucial role in protecting the duchy’s prosperity…
