Last week there was improving paper to maximal quality, but at a heavy expense of mana and materials.
We also had the spring coming of age ceremony for the commoners where we saw Lutz’s brother Ralph in the crowd and might have recognized Rozemyne. Clarissa has also joined the name sworn club.
The archducal kids had their tea party interrupted by the Leisegang elders storming the castle.
This week will continue with the showdown with the Leisegangs. How do you think it will play out? What will happen next?
I’m blanking on names to really know who would be the ringleaders of this Leisegang invasion. I’m not expecting Rozemyne to intentionally reveal that she’s instead being adopted (or even that she’s leaving Ehrenfest), but that would be a logical direction for the story to go. That would immediately thrust Wilfried’s position into focus and create all sorts of challenges for the siblings to deal with in the coming months, unless Wilfried immediately renounces any intentions to pursue the position I suppose?
Yeah, I’m a bit worried about what the archduke candidates might reveal during this interaction. I’m hoping they just refuse to answer their questions and just chew them out for storming the castle. Or maybe Rozemyne can turn the situation to her advantage somehow. Fingers crossed
I expect Rozemyne to at some point be so frustrated with the double-speak, that she’ll just be totally frank, telling the old timers how their stupid vendettas are going to destroy this duchy more effectively than any outside enemy ever could and that they should just leave everything to the new, more sensible, generation already.
