Noble Lady Reformation Guide – Chapter 54: Value (8)

Lord‍‌ Robain the Proud‌⁠‌

Dereck,‍ who had until‌ now been staring‍‍ at the elegantly⁠⁠‍ titled book with⁠‌⁠ grace and courtesy,‍‍ finally shut it‌ with a snap‌ and placed it‌‍‍ back in the⁠⁠⁠ drawer.

Still⁠ seated, lost in⁠‌ thought, a maid‌ approached and spoke‍ to him.

“It’s⁠ about Miss Denise.”

Bella,‍‍ who had been‌⁠ quickly tidying the‍ room while Denise‌‌⁠ was at the⁠‌ Diela estate, was‍ the one who‌‍‌ spoke.

She⁠‍⁠ was a maid⁠‍ who had been⁠ by Denise’s side⁠ since childhood and‌‍⁠ was said to know her better⁠ than anyone.

When‌⁠ Dereck looked at‍ her, she flinched‍‌ and trembled slightly,‍ but gathered the courage to speak.‍

“Do⁠ you think she‌ can become a good mage?”

Her‍‌‌ words were full⁠⁠ of concern.

Bella, who had always‌⁠‍ stayed beside Denise,‍⁠⁠ was genuinely troubled‌ by her many‍ shortcomings.

Dereck, resting his chin‍‍ on one hand,‍‍ replied in a somewhat light tone:⁠‍‌

“Perhaps.”‌‌

The‍‌ most important factor‌ in mastering magic⁠‍⁠ was bloodline.

That’s⁠ why many sorcery⁠ masters strove to‌ become tutors for‌ prestigious families.

Training a talented disciple⁠‌ raised a master’s reputation.

However,‍ when it came‍ to the three‍ great nobles of the Rose Hall,⁠ each possessed advantages‌⁠ due to their‌⁠‍ exceptional lineage.

To‍‍‍ surpass that, mere talent wasn’t enough.⁠‌

Thus,⁠‌‍ Dereck glanced sideways‌⁠ at Bella and said.

“In⁠ the Rose Hall,‍⁠⁠ the only one‌⁠ who could grow‍⁠⁠ to rival Miss⁠⁠ Denise is Lady Aiselin.”

That‍ was the judgment‍ of Dereck, who‍⁠ had interacted with⁠‌ all three families.⁠⁠

Bella⁠‍ seemed distressed by‍‍ Denise’s shortcomings, but⁠ Dereck’s opinion was⁠ entirely different.

Flaws were the most⁠ essential fuel to‍‌⁠ ignite a person’s‍⁠ will.

In‍‍ fact, Denise had better conditions than‍ Aiselin, who had‍‍‍ walked the traditional‍‌‌ path in a more nurturing environment.⁠

She‌‌ had endured an⁠‌ extremely long winter,‌ but if she ever ignited, she‍‌ would burn more fiercely than volcanic lava.

“…”‍‌

Dereck⁠⁠ would go on‌ to teach many⁠ students, but by⁠‍ this point, it⁠‌ was already clear⁠ who his “favorite⁠‍ disciple” would be.‌

He⁠ had a feeling.⁠

Denise‍⁠ was, in all⁠‍‍ likelihood, the one‍ who would raise‌‍‌ Dereck’s name to the heavens.

T/N:‍ This chapter isn’t⁠‍ cut or anything—this‍ is literally where‌⁠ the MTL ends.⁠
