    This was quite a volume, and quite a conclusion!

    I really enjoyed how Sigiswald was just kind of lame and spoiled from Rozemyne’s point of view… and then absolutely hammered by Adolphine’s story. Rozemyne thinks some of the noble errors he’s making (like not offering her a villa) are about them being in a rush and thus unusually frantic, but Adolphine’s account makes it clear that Sigiswald and his retinue are that thoughtless as a matter of course.

    No wonder Eglantine was willing to do just about anything to avoid marrying Sigiswald.

    I hadn’t realized that Adolphine was so against marrying into the Royal Family, and yikes the idea of what would happen to her if Detlinde became Zent after she married… and that she loathes it so much that the idea of the loathed Detlinde becoming Zent before becomes oddly attractive.

    I loved the part where she reads between the lines to assume that Rozemyne crushed him in her negotiations, and cheers. I hope they get to talk soon, as allies. It’s nice that Adolphine sees her as an avenue to pursue for their mutual benefit.

    Keep praying to the Goddess of Separation, Adolphine!

      I love especially how aub Klassenburg did a complete 180 in opinion upon Siggy’s starbinding plans.

      Also, cheers to Kazuki-sensei for making even Sigiswald’s one good quality, that he is devoted to his original wife, look sickly and gross and toxic for him as a person and especially as a ruler. Nice twist of the knife, there.

      Now, What the Heck is Raublut up to? And did he help Georgine suborn part of the Knight’s Order, or did he just stay out of that because he knew she was doing it?
