Rozemyne will take on even the gods themselves in her quest to rescue Ferdinand. She speeds to Ahrensbach faster than Steifebrise, and as the battle against Lanzenave commences, Georgine finally begins her invasion. To war!

    I really wonder what Lestilaut thinks about all this. Does he resent having to stay home, like a true Dunkelfelgerian, or is he annoyed that his duchy has to help Ehrenfest deal with “their problems” or somesuch? Or might it be something more personal, with him either wanting to or not wanting to help Rozemyne specifically?

    I know it should have been obvious with Rozemynes plan to dye the Ahrensbach foundation, but it completely slipped my mind that she could become Aub Ahrensbach that way. Loved that the development!

    Hannelore got redemption, and the artwork with her dogs had me laughing out loud, I somehow expected the dogs to look more like monsters (I played to much Lethal Company), so when she just stood there with these two dogs I was giggling.

    Ferdinand interactions with Rozemyne were hilarious as always, the two of them clearly haven’t spend enough time together for to long. Married couple energy right there. On that note, is there any human that Rozemyne even could marry with her enormous mana? Not that it matters to much, as Ferdinand and Detlinde were supposed to marry as well, and Detlinde certainly doesn’t have the mana capacity (Good old memories of her christmas tree cosplay), but they would probably a good fit.

    The backstory for Georgine was interesting, I did not expect to have any sympathy for her, but handling Sylvester must have been rough, as we experienced through Rozyemyne with Wilfried. I really wonder if we get any more backstory or even redemption for Veronica. The way she seems to throw anything away to get more power is really similar to how Georgine acts right now, especially how both of them do not seem to care about there daughters.

      In terms of who “can” marry who, anyone can marry anyone. The issue comes with having children. The further apart the couple’s mana capacities are, the less likely they are to ever conveive, but if they both wnat to marry anyway (and their families or Aubs aren’t stopping them), they can get married. So Rozemyne is free to marry any noble, down to the lowest laynoble, if she wanted to, but to have any chance at all to have children, it’d have to be at least an archnoble. And to have realistic or even good chances to conveive, it’d probably come down to archduke candidates from greater duchies, royalty and Ferdinand. Or maybe someone from Lanzenave’s royal family maybe, but I don’t see that happening.

      Within the royal family, we can pretty much rule out Trauerqual (since he already has 3 wives), Anastasius (since he won’t marry anyone other than Eglantine I’m sure) and Sigiswald (due to the pendant falling apart so easily). But Hildebrand would be a theoratical candidate, since with him starting mana compression unusually early by Yurgenschmidt standards, he might be able to get within a good range of Rozemyne, by the time he finishes his growth phase, if he works hard on his compression the entire time. And he has a massive crush on Rozemyne, which could probably give him the necessary motivation to do exactly that.
