The story continued last week with Ferdinand tempting Rozemyne with promises of fish, her dream of a library city, and time with her lower-city family. This would be in exchange for Rozemyne remaining Aub Ahrensbach and building Ferdinand his dream research paradise where he would publish material for new books. Ferdinand then closes the country gate using a magic circle combined from both his and Rozemyne’s Book of Mestionora. Rozemyne then closes the border gate and they return to the castle. Ferdinand prescribes a double dose of potion for Rozemyne who rests inside Lessy.
Rozemyne wakes up to find that two days have passed and Ferdinand has left with Dunkelfelger’s impatient knights to join the battle against Georgine. Rozemyne is attended to by Fairseele and after being dressed she joins Hannelore and Letizia for a meal. They discuss what Rozemyne missed while she slept and Hannelore says that she will follow Rozemyne into battle. After receiving direction via ordonnanz from Ferdinand, Rozemyne and her retainers, Hannelore’s squad, and five Ahrensbach knights are teleported to Bindewald.
Upon arrival in Bindewald, they are met by the screeching voice of Fraularm and three of her relatives. Fraularm and her cronies incessantly complain about the sudden arrival of Ehrenfest nobles. Hannelore and her knights restrain them with bands of light before sending Ahrensbach’s knights to restrain the others in the summer estate. Fraularm finally recognizes Rozemyne and complains that she should have been dead. Hartmut implicates Fraularm’s involvement in the previous bible poisoning plot. The wife of the former Count Bindewald attempts to out Rozemyne as a commoner. Her words are dismissed as the ramblings of a madwoman. Fraularm refuses to believe that Rozemyne is Aub Ahrensbach and insists that everyone is being deceived. Cornelius gets violent with Fraularm when she continues her tirade and she is gagged after Ferdinand arrives. Ferdinand explains they caught Werkestock giebes stealing mana from Ehrenfest using black weapons. Rozemyne teleports the captured giebes and Bindewald nobles to be held in Ahrensbach castle. They then fly by highbeast to Gerlach where they find embattled knights and giebes draining the earth of mana.
With Rozemyne, Ferdinand, and Dunkelfelger joining the fray in Ehrenfest, what do you predict will happen during this week’s story?
I’m predicting Grausam has a cool robot hand that shoots silver needles or something. When Grausam finds out his son—which by all accounts should have been killed during the purge—is not only alive, but the retainer of his enemy we might see some rare noble emotions on display.
I vote when the anime is made, Grausam is voiced by AI James Earl Jones and he tries to get his son to betray his mistress.
Only to stab him in the back if he succeeds.
Matthias… I am your father! Come to the Georgine side!
We don’t have many members anymore. Or a duchy for that matter. Also I’m a wanted criminal now—not a giebe—and I lost my hand. Damn… Why did I pick her again? My parents just kind of made me swear to either Veronica or Georgine. Meh, this sucks. Learn from my stupid mistake—don’t name swear to anyone. What’s that? Oh… Well I guess we’re both screwed. Want to go get a drink instead? Hey does this smell like trug to you? Ehehehe, fool! You fell for the oldest trick in the book!
Yep I can totally see that happening.
