    Most duchies students or aubs have witnessed dedication, starbinding, or gather spot renewing rituals performed by Rozemyne. Pretty sure they know she’s the real deal.

      With “the real deal” I didn’t mean her mana capacity, or performing religious ceremonies, that is beyond dispute. I meant in terms of inventing, coming up with things, making decisions and all that. It’s hard to consider someone a threat, who you believe to only ever have followed the instructions of Ferdinand and who supposedly has no combat potential, due to being just a kid, who’s not even in the knight’s course and of poor health.

      Also while witnessing her doing religious ceremonies might have been a real stand-out initially, keep in mind how by now Charlotte and Wilfried also held Dedication Rituals, the Dunkelfelger pre-battle ritual is producing true blessings and nobles performing gathering spot healing rituals has become relatively common. Furthermore even Wilfried used a divine instrument in the bride-stealing ditter (which is literally on video, thanks to the Dunkelfelger fan-gallery by the way), and thanks to the research we know that Dunkelfelger has been transforming schtappe into a divine instrument (the stuff of the post-ditter calming ritual) for ages. So none of those things really contradicts the narritive that Rozemyne is just doing as she’s been told by Ferdinand.

      The only really unique thing about her, would be that she’s firing off blessing unintentionally, but that could also be an elaborate act, as far as nobles of other duchies are concerned. Rozemyne had to work hard to convince people she didn’t intentionally steal Schwartz and Weiss’s mastership and only accidentally released a blessing in music class after all.

      So to sum it up, there are plenty of ways for stubbon and ignorant nobles to cling to the notion of her being a fraud, maybe a particularly mana-rich one, but still a fraud. We know better, and the number of nobles who does too, is ever growing, but there are still plenty of either naturally or willfully ignorant ones out there too.

        Oh and I just noticed: When Georgine and Detlinde put their plans in motion, Rozemyne was still missing, extremely ill or potentially even dead, as far as they knew. Rozemyne woke up only what, one or two days before the attack on Ferdinand happened after all.
