Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4)
“Miss Trisha. alien Even so, in this world there is nothing that is absolute. afford Lady Diella, although she certainly has the temperament of an enraged beast, if one approaches her with complete sincerity, one way or another she eventually opens her heart.”
Even if Trisha, who went around raising her voice arrogantly everywhere, had reached this point of humility, one would think he might grant her something; but he had no intention at all of retracting the principles he had already established.
After that, Trisha kept scratching her head in desperation while begging Dereck to please help her at least a little, but Dereck, as if raising a wall of steel, rejected all her requests.

“To use myself as an example, when I first met Lady Diella, I ended up drenched in dirty water full of food scraps. action After leaving me like a filthy rag, she hurled insults at me nonstop.”
Dereck remembered the first encounter with Diella.
“…”

The image of that small girl shut away in the annex of the Duplain family, rejecting the entire world as if everything were her enemy, quickly came to his mind.
“Hmm… I did everything in my power… that’s all I will say.”
“S-she did something like that? alpha How in the world did you manage to connect with such a savage? action What kind of magic did you have to use for a wild beast like that to end up following you so well…?”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
“No, you have to give me a clear method so that I can at least try.”
Even though Trisha argued with Dereck for a long time, he still didn’t budge an inch.
In the end, she had to accept that Dereck was not someone who could be persuaded with words or flattery.
“The details are a secret…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
“Are you afraid of Lady Diella?”
Trisha, no longer caring about appearance or dignity, grabbed her head while letting out groans of frustration.
Since it was uncomfortable to just stand there watching her, Dereck swallowed a sigh and forced himself to respond.
“Ugh… i-it’s not fear. echo I just think approaching such a tyrant brings nothing good. wizard She has… no poise… no elegance…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
“You don’t have to be that afraid of her. shadow As I said, even if she seems like someone who acts without thinking, in the end she is a person who cannot step outside what is reasonable.”
“I-it’s not fear, I said. acoustic W-who is afraid of whom…?”
No matter how much Trisha was groaning on the inside, Dereck simply said what he had to say.
“You have spent a long time in noble society, haven’t you? audit In the end, Lady Diella is also a young noblewoman of the Duplain family, and you must not forget that she is part of aristocratic society.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
“Among nobles, what is it that they value most, Miss Trisha. adjust You know that better than anyone.”
As always, this man did not change his attitude depending on what family or lineage the person in front of him came from. arena Whoever it was, he kept his own center firm.
It sounded like a clue, but in reality it was nothing more than a superficial phrase with no real content. acoustic Even so, Trisha could not ignore it.
When Dereck said that, Trisha’s fingers trembled slightly.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
“What does that mean?”
“Forgive me for making such a distinguished guest wait. altitude In any case, the higher the rank, the more work.”
“Literally.”
— Creaak.

At that moment, the mistress of the mansion, Countess Rodelia, entered the reception room accompanied by the servants.
‘I-I lost my mind for a moment. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com abandon W-what foolishness have I done.’
Trisha finally remembered what Countess Rodelia had emphasized several times: that Baron Ravenclaw was an honored guest in this mansion and had to be treated with absolute respect.
But Trisha had been spouting all sorts of sincere words without any filter whatsoever, and thinking about it, she felt so embarrassed she wanted to slam her head against the wall.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
That was the kind of person Dereck was.
It was obvious that Dereck didn’t take Trisha’s reckless comments too seriously.
Trisha grabbed her head and held her breath, but Dereck, as always, simply greeted Rodelia with his expressionless face, as if nothing had happened.

“I am sorry that I can only present a limited support plan. august As I already said, assigning too many resources or personnel to another territory is not something very advisable. amateur Also, the situation around the White Labyrinth does not look good, so I hope you understand.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
“If you do that, it will also be a great honor for me. accent You are someone who knows how to show respect.”
Countess Rodelia tried to hold him back, saying that since he had come all the way to the territory, why not stay a little longer; but Dereck, who lived days so busy that he barely had time to breathe, politely declined.
“No, not at all. sphere Even just what you have promised will be a great help for the Ravenclaw territory. timber When the infrastructure work is finished, I was thinking of decorating the main hall with a portrait or a statue of Your Excellency, Countess Rodelia, who has supported us.”
Once almost all negotiations were settled, Dereck prepared to return.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
That alone was already a considerable diplomatic gain, so with a satisfied smile, Rodelia said to Dereck.
Rodelia had wanted to take the opportunity to draw Trisha and Dereck a little closer, but since it didn’t work as she hoped, she couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.
Even so, she had successfully created a major point of contact between the house of Countess Renuel and the house of Baron Ravenclaw.
“I imagine my daughter must have committed several discourtesies.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
Trisha had returned to the annex at her mother’s order, because there were still matters Dereck had to address alone with the countess.
Countess Rodelia, wise ruler of the Renuel county, knew that her daughter Trisha must have already said all sorts of things.
“At first glance you can see that Trisha is arrogant and very vain. athlete She leans on the prestige of House Renuel to look down on everyone, and wherever she goes, she is obsessed with keeping her chin up.”
Taking advantage of that moment, Rodelia offered an apology with a kind smile.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
When Dereck slightly lowered his head without arguing too much, Rodelia sighed inwardly and spoke with a more casual tone.
“You don’t have to be so formal. riddle I would like our relationship to be a little closer.”
Although Rodelia presented herself completely open and relaxed before Dereck, for a frontier baron it was somewhat overwhelming for the head of House Renuel to approach him with such familiarity.
“…It’s not that bad.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
“Trisha surely takes after her father. august My late husband, Hutton, always tried to teach her useless things.”
Countess Rodelia sighed deeply as she remembered her late husband.
“Things like masculine ambition, guts, bluffing, taking initiative, reading the atmosphere—those kinds of showdowns that are not very useful for a young lady of an old noble lineage.”
“Useless things?”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
Perhaps that’s why the great merchant Hutton tried to teach Trisha something Rodelia could not teach her.
Mind games and firmness could be useful in the dangerous social world of the nobility, but Rodelia, who spent her entire life as a warrior on the battlefield, was not skilled in such subtleties.
“That’s why Hutton and I always clashed regarding Trisha’s education. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. sphere Although normally one of us gave in, and that settled it.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
Just hearing it made it easy to imagine what kind of person Hutton had been.
“Even so, Hutton had a very good eye for certain things. palette So I also yielded quite a bit. matrix But even then, standing in front of a seven-year-old girl shaking his fist to tell her not to blink or making her jump off cliffs to enjoy the thrill—that really was excessive.”
Seeing Dereck’s incredulous expression, Rodelia cleared her throat.
“…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
“My husband Hutton was really—how could I put it…”
“…”
“Yes, he was a weirdo.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
“I appreciate you saying that.”
“You don’t need to choose your words. voyage As I said before, I think we can become closer. airport Ahem.”
“Hutton was truly a strange man. palette At that age, the normal thing for a girl is to start receiving proper education in etiquette, tea, magic, history, literature—but he, who understood better than anyone the importance of a lady’s education, didn’t seem to want to teach Trisha any of that.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
Rodelia’s voice turned slightly nostalgic.

“Most likely, by then Hutton had already understood it.”
When recalling old times, it was natural for the voice to soften.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
What had he understood? harbor Dereck didn’t ask. acid He sensed it. aluminum And Rodelia, seeing his expression, let out a sigh.
“…”
Even without Dereck saying it, her parents had already confirmed it multiple times.
“Yes. shadow With your perception, I’m sure you already know. arena Trisha, in every aspect, is a girl without any particularly outstanding characteristic.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
“Miss Trisha herself told me that.”
“Exactly. acid Compared to your students, who shine like stars every one of them, Trisha must look like a dull stone.”
“Be it magic, arts, politics, studies, or etiquette—whenever she’s taught something, she ends up a little below average or a little above it. atlas Never enough for anyone to call her useless, but never enough for anyone to call her talented even once.”
Dereck couldn’t nod, but he didn’t deny it either.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
But Trisha’s upper limit was clearly sealed.
All the students Dereck had taught until now had the “sky open” above them, without limits.
Even if Trisha were his disciple, the chances of her achieving dramatic growth were almost zero.
Siern and Denise, for example, could be called prodigies or geniuses.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
Rodelia lowered her gaze.
Dereck could say with certainty that even if he taught her personally, he could only bring her to a level slightly above average.
“Mediocrity is not a sin.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
“But there are those who, because of their position from birth, are not allowed to be mediocre. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. amateur It’s not something that can be solved just because others say ‘it’s fine’.”
That obsession with keeping her chin raised was a kind of desperate struggle.
She was the daughter of the continental heroine Rodelia and the great merchant Hutton. voyage It was easy to imagine the situation in which she had grown up.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
Dereck made a decision. meadow He had to be clear, to avoid future problems.
And Rodelia knew that man didn’t make statements lightly. advance So she closed her eyes for a few seconds and nodded.
“Even if I taught her directly, Miss Trisha would never reach the level of 3 stars or higher.”
It wasn’t a guess, but a certainty.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
Hutton, who adored his daughter more than anyone, at first taught her all the subjects of a noble lady.
Rodelia lifted her gaze toward the clear sky, remembering the past.
But one day, he abandoned all of that and focused solely on strengthening her mentality and courage.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
That girl who ran through the forest, climbed cliffs, and fished in the river while her father guided her.
Thanks to that, she developed a rough personality; but Hutton wanted to engrave only one thing into her heart.
She remembered the days when little Trisha, with eyes bright with curiosity, followed her father.
Probably because he had seen exactly what the limit of his daughter’s talent was. atom Hutton had an exceptional eye for those things.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
In a social world full of brilliant beings, the day would come when she would have to lower her head, lamenting her faded talent.
The girl who looked at the open sky with ambition would inevitably someday crash against reality.
That is why the only thing a father had to carve into his daughter was:
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
— “Never shrink back.”
— “Even if it seems like everyone is playing above your head, never shrink back, Trisha.”

It didn’t matter if she seemed arrogant, pretentious, or if people insulted her.
He gave her a closed fist for her to bump and promise.
It was what he told her while drying clothes before a fire near the cliff after spending the whole day catching fish.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
She must never worry about that.
Even if they considered her a third-rate villain, greedy and conceited, or a mediocre person.
No matter what happened, she must never shrink back.

It was what Hutton repeated again and again, the man who reached the top with sheer tenacity.
Was that message still in her heart?

“But well…”
“As a husband, he wasn’t that bad.”
The countess Rodelia, who spoke as if remembering an enemy, slowly closed her eyes and smiled.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
The idea lit up inside her that, one way or another, she would become Dereck’s disciple.
At this point, she could only cling to her pride.
It was as if her pride had been mercilessly scratched.
‘What is that thing nobles live and die for, Miss Trisha? matrix You know that better than anyone, don’t you?’
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
Dereck had managed to tame that crazy girl and turn her into his disciple; it was something she still found impossible to believe.
The image of that young lioness with bright red eyes, radiating intimidating ferocity, came to her mind.
The number one in rank at the Ravenclaw academy, the principal disciple, Diella Katherine Duplain—to be honest, just standing in front of her already instilled a paralyzing fear.
Trisha, lying alone on the bed in the private room, gnashed her teeth and then let out a long sigh.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
Even so, she too was a noblewoman. academy What is that thing nobles live and die for? artist In reality, the answer was simple.
“It’s legitimacy.”
Seeing her become a meek lamb only in front of him was an unimaginable spectacle.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
Legitimacy, legitimacy—that damn legitimacy.
Trisha, lying in the dark room, stretched her hand toward the ceiling and clenched her fist.
Maybe it didn’t make sense to talk about legitimacy with a young wild beast like her—but legitimacy is something that, if one knows how to manipulate words, can always be manufactured somehow.
“…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
She felt strength rising up to her nose, bit her lower lip firmly, and exhaled strongly.
“I am the noblest of the ladies of the line of Count Renuel.”
Then she narrowed her eyes and gathered her courage.

Her mind began spinning at full speed.
She swallowed her uneven breath and clenched her fist again.

Four days later, at the Hall Rose meeting.
Wherever she walked, the crowd split in two.
Among the numerous sons and daughters of influential families who were at the Elfontaine building for academic research, a single young woman advanced cutting through the entire hall.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
At some point, this little tyrant had become the ruling figure of the Hall Rose, capable of subduing the whole hall with her gaze alone.
If she looked to the right, the people on the right swallowed hard; if she looked to the left, those on the left broke into a cold sweat.
Each time she took a step, everyone watched her movements; each time her abundant blonde hair swayed, everyone stepped back, afraid of blocking her path.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
With no intention of dealing with that rabble that didn’t even seem noble, the young woman walked heavily through the crowd.
Nothing had changed, but depending on support and shifts in political tides, one could go from being crushed on the ground to walking above the clouds.
Such was the fleeting nature of worldly power.
“Good morning, Miss Diella.” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
Diella frowned, but the person in front of her lifted her head even higher and took a deep breath.
“Tri… Tri… what was it? palette Your name.”
“You don’t seem to be in a good mood, hmm?”
But someone stood directly in her way without moving aside.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
As a lady of Count Renuel, she had to always live elevated, proud, dignified, and with her posture high.
Trisha held back her emotions, forced a smile, and recalled one by one the words her late father had engraved in her throughout her life.
Although she knew perfectly well that her name was Trisha, Diella purposely decided to scratch her pride.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
“Get lost.”
But life always brings tests that seem to measure how far a person can fall.
A single word from Diella made the entire hallway fill with a freezing sensation.
It was like facing a lion inside a cage.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
Trisha smiled softly. crystal She had spent days practicing words in front of the wall—words she had never said in her life.
Worrying about one’s clothes or about not getting one’s shoes dirty in front of a wild beast was stupidity.
And the most valuable thing Trisha inherited from the banker Hutton was her courage.
To survive in there, one had to be willing to roll in the mud.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
“Let’s fight, bitch.”
The more impactful, the better.
Now she just had to let them out lightly and firmly.

They wondered if their ears were malfunctioning.
Thus, the atmosphere of the Elfontaine building, full of spectators, froze instantly.
They had heard something, but it seemed too absurd to be real.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 152: The Youngest Disciple (4) by Indra Translations.
Rest in peace Trisha.
The young noble ladies, with their mouths open, were left petrified, unable to move.
As if they had agreed on it, everyone fell into a solemn silence.
