### Lord Robain the Proud

Dereck, who until then had been contemplating the book with the elegant title with grace and courtesy, finally slammed it shut and put it back in the drawer.

Still sitting, absorbed in his thoughts, a maid approached and spoke to him.

“It is 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 else.

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

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

Her words were full of concern.

Bella, who had always remained by Denise’s side, was truly worried about her numerous flaws.

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

“Perhaps.”

The most important factor in mastering magic was lineage.

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

Training a talented disciple raised the master’s reputation.

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

To overcome that, mere talent was not enough.

Then, Dereck looked sideways at Bella and said:

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

That was the opinion of Dereck, who had been in contact with all three families.

Bella seemed distressed by Denise’s flaws, but Dereck’s opinion was completely different.

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

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

She had endured an extremely long winter, but if she were ever to catch fire, she would burn with more intensity than volcanic lava.

“…”

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

He had a feeling.

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