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.
The Leisgang debacle was resolved much more peacefully than expected, and I guess more than intended too. Quite the power play by Flroencia to try and imprison them.
Damuel’s going to get the chance to stay behind and think about his future. I’m not sure I’m clear on who would be employing him - I was assuming everyone was going to be unemployed until moving to the Sovereignty. Philine is presumably taking over the orphanage as an employee of the Aub (with some financial backing from Rozemyne).
For me it went harder than expected. I did expect Rozemyne to become very direct to the point that old-school nobles would be offended, but I did not expect her to outright threaten them. But I expected it even less, that this was all a setup by Florencia (or rather her retainers) to manouver the Leisegangs elders into committing a crime, so they can throw them in prison and be rid of their meddling.
Now we know, where Hartmut got his ruthless and cunning side from. ^^
But I think overall, this intervention by the children is more benefitial to Ehrenfest in the long run, than Leberecht’s plan would have been.

Yeah, it was just a short interaction - they seem to have backed down within minutes of the kids arriving.
She went too soft on them, IMO. I wanted her to lash out and even crush them for opposing the gods’ divine wills for their petty power play.
Oh, well 🤷
