Rozemyne will take on even the gods themselves in her quest to rescue Ferdinand. She speeds to Ahrensbach faster than Steifebrise, and as the battle against Lanzenave commences, Georgine finally begins her invasion. To war!
Though I have to say, I was very surprised by the implication that Fraularm knew about Gloria’s assassination attempt. I can only assume that Bindewald’s wife was the pipeline of communications between Georgine and Gloria and then blabbered on to her sister… but that Georgine would allow such a potential leak to ever happen seems a bit uncharacteristic.
Maybe Fraularm, despite her seemingly complete lack of competence, whenever she was on the page, does have some skills in her supposed field of expertise of gathering intelligence after all.
It certainly makes sense now, why she would be that insistent that Rozemyne was dead, after she disappeared, which didn’t make sense to me at the time.
I find that rather unlikely. Why go to the royal academy for the poison, which would then need to be smuggled accross the duchy border into Ehrenfest, when at the time she still had loads of name-sworn and other supporters right there within Ehrenfest? Surely some of them would be able to mix that poison, like for example Grausam, who we know to be a skilled scholar.
I don’t think this was an info leak. Georgine needed information from the RA. She might’ve just stated that there was a rumour that she’s been. Keep an eye out for me. And Fraularm jumped to conclusions, like she did in this chapter.
Certainly true.

Other scholars’ approach: be sneaky, be subtle, piece together the puzzle to find out what they need
Fraularm approach: screech the other person into submission so that they accidentally reveal things they shouldn’t have
Maybe she supplied the poison?
