  • Yeah that barrier doesn’t seem to block attacks, only people. I’ve been under the assumption the giebe estates are white stone buildings which wouldn’t burn down, but I’m not positive.

    Not really a plot hole, but an inconsistency I noticed in the prologue: On countless occasions since Georgine had discovered that Ehrenfest’s foundation was hidden within its temple, Grausam and his accomplices had attempted to sneak inside—but then Rozemyne had been adopted by the archduke and assigned to serve as the High Bishop.

    That seems to imply that Georgine discovered the temple foundation entrance before Rozemyne was adopted and made the High Bishop. Georgine didn’t visit Ehrenfest and obtain Bezewanst’s letters until almost a year after Rozemyne was adopted. That either means that Georgine knew about the temple entrance long before obtaining those letters or maybe it’s a mistranslation?














  • Guess we’re getting lots of side stories in this volume.

    Rozemyne gets to see first hand how the inability to redraw duchy borders has made Werkestock’s giebes incredibly desperate. Their excuses aren’t likely to save them from prison though.

    The epilogue was some interesting backstory for Georgine’s character. Can’t help but feel a bit of sympathy for what her parents made her endure and her motivation was just trying to earn their approval instead of actually serving the duchy. When Sylvester entered the picture and Georgine decided to adopt Veronica’s methods is when she really started going off the deep end. Veronica really is the cause of so many issues for so many people in this story. Also didn’t expect Georgine to use the sewers to bypass security.

    I like Giebe Kirnberger. He seems like a guy that really thinks things through and has interesting insights. I imagine a lot more Ehrenfest nobles will soon share his concerns about the future of the duchy.


  • 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.





  • I feel like the story has been nonstop adrenaline for a good number of chapters now and we might be getting a respite and planning session this week. Mana needs to recover and supplies restocked. Maybe a meal and a quick nap too. The Ahrensbach citizenry should probably be informed of the aub change and the circumstances behind it. Correspondence with Ehrenfest and the Sovereignty will be necessary to update everyone on the current situation.

    I’m predicting that Rozemyne will discuss adopting Letizia. I think it makes sense for Letizia to become the aub when she’s able to fulfill the required duties. Then Rozemyne can retire and become a librarian after building her dream library.
