Rozemyne, Ferdinand, and their Dunkelfelger allies set out to subjugate the Adalgisa villa. But when Gervasio’s absence and a betrayal within the Sovereign Knight’s Order come to light, the party must switch its focus to the Royal Academy’s library.
I’m with Ferdinand on the issue of trusting Gervasio. Sure, he was not the one who came up with and ordered the massacre of the Ahrensbach nobles, but neither did he appear to try to stop it, or even mind it too much, beyond considering it distasteful. As the king of Lanzenave, he surely would have had the authority to order Leonzio to desist, regardless of the political factions and even if Leonzio hadn’t listened, he is much stronger. I suppose it is possible he learned of it only after the fact, but I doubt it.
Also when Raublut talked about killing those who oppose him, right in front of him in the auditorium, he just started to belt out blessings, without a single word against the killing or any attempt to negotiate a somewhat peaceful settlement.
Oh I don’t know. With Ferdi shooting a hole through Gervasio’s hand and then giving him a healing potion, I’d go with “no permanent” rather than “no real” harm. ^^
It was pretty surprising to me that Rozemyne even suggested it. But I think she’s also a little caught up in a whirlwind and not really able to look at the big picture. Ferdinand’s ability to take in the situation extremely quickly and react very tactically even on very short notice with unexpected changes is what makes him a genius in this world.

I am honestly pretty impressed by how neatly and completely Ferdinand neutralized Gervasio, while causing him no real harm.
