The Archduke Conference has come to an end, but Ehrenfest’s archducal family is still reeling from the troubles it brought. Rozemyne has one year before she must depart for the Sovereignty, and those in her service have an important choice to make.
There is one caveat to Florencia’s failed attempts to educate Rozemyne though: She laments that she couldn’t invite Rozemyne due to her being so rarely at the castle… but does that really matter? Between Ordonnanzes they can communicate at any time and with her highbeast, Rozemyne can hop between the temple and castle in a manner of minutes, so her being at the temple should not be a hurdle to inviding her for dinner or the occasional tea party.
Even when prioritizing Rozemyne’s temple work, surely there would have been time to meet once a week or something.
I feel like Florencia is a bit too stuck in the traditional noble thiking and a bit slow and inflexible in her adaptation to the new situation.
I don’t think Sylvester is in danger at the funeral. Getting him there, would be far too obvious and risky for Georgine.
Not to mention she doesn’t just want to kill him, but also take over Ehrenfest. Assassinating him, while he’s in Ahrensbach or in transit to or from the funeral, would likely put her further away from ever gaining Ehrenfest’s foundation, since it would put Bonifatius in charge and give him very good reasons to take steps against any possible incursion… like moving the entrance of the foundation for example, which would completely foil any chance Georgine has to rule Ehrenfest in her lifetime.
If she’s going to strike, it will only be when she’s in a position to also take the Foundation at the same time as she gets rid of Sylvester. I doubt even she is able to put in replacements for the groundwork that the purge smashes in such short order.
I fully expect her to try to undermine Sylvester’s position and further ruin his reputation in front of everyone attending the funeral in any and all ways she can, but I don’t think his life is in any immediate danger.
