Arno

Arno (アルノー Arunoo) is a character that appears in the Ascendance of a Bookworm series.

Arno serves Ferdinand as an attendant.

Before becoming one of Ferdinand's attendants, Arno was an attendant of the previous director of the orphanage, sister Margaret, alongside Fran.

Much like Fran, he takes his responsibilities seriously and carries his orders out with efficiency being a top priority. While he doesn't openly show any distaste for Fran, he holds against Fran and secretly enjoys seeing Fran silently suffer in awkward situations.

Arno was the one who made the suggestion that Myne could use the orphanage director's chambers as her own.

The two main reasons why there was an attack on the temple to capture Myne was, that Arno told people that Ferdinand was not available and secondly that Sylvester was at the Archduke Conference. The High Bishop took to what Arno said as to mean the Ferdinand was not in the temple. Arno had been told by Ferdinand, that he did not want to be disturbed. Arno took this literally and even with the attacks in front of the High Priest's chambers, he did not disturb Ferdinand in his hidden room.

It is never specifically stated that Arno is dead, but Myne is surprised that Arno is not Ferdinand's main attendant anymore after the attacks and it is mention that he took the stairway, which is hinted to him for being killed.
