      Now we know, from which of his parents, Hartmut inherited this easily excitable side from. ^^

    I’m both looking forward to and dreading the time when Sylvester will look into Georgine’s mind. With the danger so clearly over and all her contracted servants and name-sworn dying with her, Sylvester really doesn’t need to put himself through that torment… but at the same time I am curious what made her tick. Why would she hate Sylvester so much, when it should be so clear that it was all Veronica’s fault and that there was nothing Slyvester could have done… and especially in light of him actually trying to make her Aub, to at least some degree, but being shut down by his parents.

    That Veronica would be happy about Georgine attacking Ehrenfest is beyond baffling. She herself essentially banished Georgine, because she already tried to kill Sylvester once and feared she’d try again and now she thinks that Georgine is obedient and launched an entire invasion just to rescue Veronica, after so many years? oO She might have even Detlinde beat in being delusional and incapable of seeing the reality in front of her eyes.

      Well Florencia definitely did a number on Veronica’s fantasy with the “lowly gremlin” ripping Veronica’s heritage via Arinsbachs foundation.

      I do wonder will Veronica’s will ever know (either defuctivly or by Syl telling) about the real Georgines death or will she simply forget and reminisce about the past forgetting everything Florencia told.

        I would think that as doppelgangers would be name sworn and died in the cell she could deduce that Georgine is dead as there would be no service for her doppelgangers.

          Not necessarily. If Georgine had been beaten, but managed to escape, she’d most likely kill any name-sworn and contracted servant that were captured, to deny the enemy intelligence, to punish them for getting caught or just out of sheer spite. So the only thing Veronica would know for certain is that Georgine lost, but not necessarily that she died.

          With how deluded Veronica is, she probably convinced herself that her daughter escaped and will come back for another “rescue attempt” eventually…

    Sylvester in a nutshell

    “Huh… I wasn’t expecting such a dull end to this invasion…”

    A few moments later…

    I swung my sword down and felt the blade dig into flesh. My hand trembled as I gripped the hilt, and tears welled up in my eyes. The knowledge that I’d done something so vile made me want to vomit.

    Rip

      Sylvester is an interesting character and I always enjoy when we get his point of view.
