The replenishment hall magic tool doesn’t look like a big feystone. The foundation does.

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

She did give him this order: “Listen to me, Ferdinand… You have devoted so much of your life to that promise you made. Going forward, I ask that you focus on your own dreams. No matter what Sylvester, Lady Hannelore, or anyone else says, do not surrender. Do everything in your power to secure the future you desire.”

Hartmut as the High Priest already interacts with the soldiers. Gunther knows he’s loyal to Rozemyne, and Hartmut knows Gunther is her dad.

In this case you’d still need a way to know who the photographer is and whether they can be trusted. The photographer at the beginning of the chain can sign anything, regardless of if it’s a real photograph or edited (or a real photograph of a staged scene with fake location/time data). The cryptography system could only tell you that the image originates with the same person or organisation who is associated with a specific cryptographic key.

How would they be made secure against faking?

If the cryptographic key itself was extractable, it’d be easy to sign fake images with just a bit of custom software.

If it isn’t, there’s still workarounds. Buy a professional photography camera, disassemble it, extract the chip that does the signature, feed it fake GPS and image data, and you have a modified image signed as legit. A country’s intelligence agency could easily do that.

Even if the camera was made completely unmodifiable, you could put it in a Faraday cage, feed it a spoofed GPS signal for fake date/time/location data, and take a picture of a high resolution screen showing your photoshopped image.

Building a system where end users are told “this image is cryptographically confirmed to be legit” just makes it easier to convince users that your fake images are legit.

That’s not in the packaging, it’s in the rind of the cheese itself. The labels are also written on the cheese itself.

Rozemyne was already aub for two days when nobles treated as her citizens (even though they’re probably still registered as Werkestock) attached another duchy, using weapons explicitly banned from warfare by the Zent. Both Sylvester and Trauerqual have legal rights to demand that Rozemyne needs to punish them harshly.

Before he got to know her better he was thinking that she should’ve used Wilfried’s debut incident to eliminate the competition instead of saving him.

The ironic part is that if Georgine hadn’t immediately bullied Sylvester, they could’ve teamed up to make her aub. Veronica wouldn’t have been able to do much if Sylvester had told all the nobles “I don’t want to be aub, Georgine is much better suited for it”. But for some reason Georgine directed all her hate at the innocent kid instead of the mother who was actually responsible, and closed off that route herself.

Milei is a lot less focused on the Falklands than the presidents before him. Every Argentinian politician says “we have to get the Falklands back”. It’s literally in their constitution. Milei says that Thatcher legit kicked their asses and they should try diplomatic means, and maybe try not having 140% inflation so that the islanders would be less opposed to becoming Argentinian.

I mean the original US states were also British colonies with ethnically British people having fairly British culture. They just revolted over unfair taxes and the culture diverged with immigration of other Europeans.

The main difference between the pre revolution colonies and the Falklands is that there weren’t any natives on the Falklands that had to be removed first, and the Falklands are much smaller and less important.

The Falklands were empty until fairly recently in archeological time, so there isn’t really anything interesting there.

Prioritize Ahrensbach since that’s her job, but also make it clear to everyone that Ehrenfest is an ally and an attack on one is an attack on both.

Everyone is going to assume that Ehrenfest is her subservient vassal now and she’ll spend years denying it and claiming that they’re equal partners. Even though it’s an open secret that Charlotte Aub Ehrenfest, among countless others, has signed a contract to never become Rozemyne’s enemy, so Ehrenfest is pretty much at Rozemyne’s mercy.

Rozemyne explicitly allowed him to pinch her cheeks. And for the past few volumes she’s been going to sleep cuddling the shumil lecturing her in Ferdinand’s voice. And back in P3 she downright ordered Benno to yell at her.

I think she might like it too, even if she doesn’t want to admit it to herself.

Maybe she supplied the poison?

Elvira gets a report on what happened, and decides against writing a romance story based on Ferdinand and Rozemyne.

“I can’t possibly write that after she summoned winter with Ferdinand, Rozemyne’s knights got out their Swords of Ewigeliebe and covered the enemy in snow. It might be what happened but it sounds far too lewd.”

Yes? That’s how consent works.

She gave him permission to pinch her last week.

I thought he’s still alive in an Ehrenfest prison somewhere?
