    This is a silly question does Detlinde know Georgine is disposed off? Also does she know Roz is the new aub (and her ex fiancé isnt dead)?

    If not I wonder who she (and Lianzio) thinks is the current aub?

    I also do wonder if she fully consciously wrote that letter or was there another 🚚 load of trug at work.

      I’m with Rozemyne on this: I don’t think Detlinde thinks anything. She wasn’t a great thinker from the get go and since then what little mind had been there to begin with, has been further clouded by her love for Leonzio… or the drugs he most likely uses on her.

    I’m surprised Ferdinand is so limited in thinking up workarounds for Rozemyne’s feystone phobia, at least when it comes to discharging mana.

    She only has problems when she sees the feystones, so one solution would be as simple as having her close her eyes, while her retainers hold the stones against her skin, or they could do so to the back of her neck or some other way, that keeps the stones out of Rozemyne’s field of view.

    He could also brew up a quick magic tools, that’s just a mana conducting box with a door, into which the feystones could be put.

    Hell, they could probably cut off a little piece of the Dedication Ritual carpet and wrap some feystones in that, since there’s plenty of time to repair or replace the carpet until it’s needed again the next winter

    Or they could organize an out of season Dedication Ritual, arguing that the neglect by the Ahrensbach archduke lines for generations has made it a necessity to act before winter comes around again. With none of the blue priests having the necessary mana capacity to dedicate mana together with Ferdinand and Rozemyne, they’d be alone in there with maybe Hartmut, and nobody would know if Rozemyne were to kneel on the carpet facing away from the feystone-studded divine instruments. That wouldn’t just use up excess mana, but even further her saint/divine avatar reputation and make her more respected by the locals.

    He must be really exhausted and sleep deprived, if not a single one of those very straightforward solutions came to him in the moment.

      The feystones would only be needed in an emergency. For regular discharging, she should be using the replenishment room.

        There’s a big feystone floating in the middle of the replenishment room though. I would not be surprised if she went directly to he foundation to recharge it for this reason, until she overcomes this trauma.

            As practice, spend each day filling the foundation with small amounts of mana,” Sylvester said, walking directly beneath the feystone floating amid the spinning magic circles.

    Ferdinand was scared of mixing mana with big Rozmyne during copy pasting the book? But they have the same mana. Rozmyne didn’t tell him that information though.

    I wonder what was that sweet potion. Did he colored her mana with his? I don’t think so.

    Either way still scandalous behavior improper for a noble.

      Pretty sure that the sweet potion is the mana-syncing potion he gave her to search her memories that is also used for syncing the mana of married couples, as she learned at the Academy.

      Ummm well, it might be. In part 2 there were 2 times that Myne has a drank potions from Ferdinand that she called “sweet”. One was the one for the memory searching tool (and as was explained later, other things). The next was a potion she drank during the ambush chapter, that wasn’t a recovery potion, but the description sounds kind of like the juevere. He also said she had drank both potions before so my hypothesis isn’t completely unreasonable and it’s super scandalous.

    Not sure what was in those potions, but sounds scandalous.

    Also, Gervasio having more mana than Ferdinand, our shonen MC? Doubt it, unless the Lanzes have some crazy compression

      Considering how he was chosen as the next king over Ferdinand, he must have had more mana at some point, but that’s most likely in the past. Ferdinand was a compression monster to begin with and that become even more intense with Rozemyne’s method.

      Then again, Gervasio is a royal, from a country that (as far as we know) didn’t have it’s verbally passed down knowledge lost, like their neibhbor. So in theory, they might still remember compression methods going back as far, as the founding of Yurgenschmidt, which the Yurgenschmidt royal family lost, when the former Zent and his successor were killed in the civil war, before they could pass the knowledge on… or at any point between the departure of Tollkühnheit and now, so who knows.
