    Not a bad move on Georgine’s part. Not only did she manage to make sure that those knights would not return to Ehrenfest, where they might be subjected to a memory search and reveal information on her shady dealings, but she managed Ehrenfest look bad in the bargain.

    I think Sylvester managed to at least partially turn that around and make at least some of the sovereign nobles suspicious of Georgine.

    I wonder just how much those dead knights were involved with. They most likely were the ones who drugged the others that then attacked the bride-stealing ditter in their stupor and I would not be the least bit surprised, if they were also involved in smuggling at least the first Ternisbefallen, that attacked Ehrenfest’s gathering spot, into the academy. Maybe they even helped the rebels orchestrate the attempt at Trauerqual later, at Georgine’s behest.

    By telling them to attack Detlinde, it would be pretty much guaranteed that her stupid daughter would demand their immediate execusion, without needing any further intervention from Georgine herself, meaning she could feign complete innocence on the execution. And as a free bonus in Georgine’s eyes, she was able to further torment her daugther and undermine her authority, by having her excluded from the inquiry.
