Wilfried

Wilfried (ヴィルフリート Birufuriito) is a character that appears in the Ascendance of a Bookworm series. He is the eldest son and first-born child between Sylvester and Florencia. He's also an archnoble in Ehrenfest.

Personality
Best described as a "mini Sylvester". He has a kind heart despite his clumsy immaturity. He is quite arrogant because he was appointed to become Sylvester's successor (normally the child with the most mana is appointed as the heir). He does not take his responsibilities seriously and will run away from his tutors and classes. He has a good memory and is a fast learner.

History
Wilfried is first introduced at Rozemyne's baptism ceremony. He takes Rozemyne from the celebration to play, dragging her away very quickly. Unfortunately for him, he does not know how fragile she is, and she faints on him, which causes some trauma for him and he treats her with kid gloves after that.

After Rozemyne moves into the castle, Wilfried gets jealous of Rozemyne, being allowed to enter Sylvester's office, talking (reporting) to Sylvester at the dinner table and her being able to leave the castle. As Rozemyne couldn't stand Wilfried calling her "sly" anymore, they swap roles for a day; him going to the temple in Rozemyne's stead and Rozemyne taking his role. While at the temple he is surprised by how much she does and knows. When he spends his time with Ferdinand as part of Rozemyne's usual duties, he's reprimanded by him for his attitude towards working and studying. He is also surprised that the unbaptised children are able to read and do math better than him.

During Rozemyne's swap day she organises new teaching methods for Wilfried with his tutor Moritz, and introduces Karuta cards and the children's picture book. She creates an entire studying schedule until winter which covers learning his letters, solving simple math calculations and learning a piece on the harspiel.

Also his attendants are replaced one after another when they seem to be unable to make Wilfried study. To keep Wilfried's motivation high she implemented milestones and divided his learning schedule into small units so that he can brag to his parents every time he finished a unit. The praise he receives from his parents makes him really happy.
