    I’m getting the feeling that Wilfried was emotionally stunted from when he and Rozemyne swapped roles for the day back in part 3. I really wish someone would shake him for being suck an idiot though. Even royalty seem to be devolving. I hope to see him redeem himself during the war. Maybe even have a bit of romance develop between him and Hannelore

      Actually Wilfried handled it better than Charlotte. He gave Sigiswald important info and made it clear that Ehrenfest wasn’t too happy about the situation. Charlotte just sat there and did nothing. She still has too much bottom ranked duchy mentality.

        Ironically the best would be a middle ground. Wilfried is too brash and no thinking about the consequences of his actions enough, while Charlotte is worrying so much about the consequences, that she’s crippled and can’t make any decision.

        That being said, to me it feels less like Charlotte is caught in the mindset of a bottom duchy, and more like she based her entire worldview around Rozemyne and only Rozemyne for so long, that she’s still in a prolonged state of shock, due to this pillar around which her entire world revolved suddenly being gone.

        To me it seems like, with the exception of supporting her mother during the pregnancy, every single action Charlotte took ever since Rozemyne saved her, has been done to either be a stand in for Rozemyne in her absence, to try to catch up to Rozemyne or to be useful to Rozemyne. It’s almost like she needs to re-learn to think for herself, without putting it in the context of Rozemyne.
