On one hand they are in the Royal Academy, which used to be called the Land of the Gods in the past.
On the other, Hannelore didn’t seem to have put any mana into her prayers, so they should have had only a minimal effect, if any at all.
Maybe her suiters have nothing at all to do with the gods. Kenntrips and Rasantark have been fond of her since she entered the Royal Academy, Raufereg is more interested in opening up his own chance to play ditter against Rozemyne than any genuine romantic feelings. Which leaves only Ortwin, but with them being in the same grade and course, not to mention a good political match, it wouldn’t be that surprising if he had developed feelings for her since before she started praying, but just managed to keep them hidden until now.
Ah, Rozemyne and Wilfried are still as oblivious as they’ve ever been to anything remotely romantic, when it’s about themselves and each other. But good on Wilfried to be a nice wingman to his friend… if Hannelore does end up choosing Wilfried, this will hopefully also curtail their friendhship suffering too badly over it, since it’s clear Wilfried was both oblivious of Hannelore’s feelings and genuinely trying to help his buddy.
But what’s up with Korinthsdaum? How can an entire duchy be so universally incompetent? And we can’t even solely blame Sigiswald for this, since less than a full year under his rule would surely not be enough to turn previously competent and properly behaved nobles into such idiots. It is certainly in part his failing, for most likely not even noticing how they don’t know their place, much less doing something about it, but even so, this feels off.
I have the sneaking suspicion that the new retainers Rozemyne wants to show off, are in fact shumil magic tools. Why else would she call them adorable? I mean, she surely does have a couple of new Human retainers, between those who remained in Ehrenfest and those who graduated, she would need some new apprentices for the royal academy, even without considering the political implications of not having native Alexandrian (i.e former Ahrensbach) retainers. Not to mention that she was always rather on the low side for an archduke candidate of Ehrenfest’s rank to begin with and her now being of the 6th ranked duchy.
