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.
Detlinde being a complete fool and inviting invasion. Also she commented on his scent…there be drugs
Hopefully Justus was able to lip-read all that.
It’s interesting how angry Ferdy was about the treatment of the princesses…how much does he remember his mother? I thought he was whisked away very young, but maybe I’m misremembering.
I wonder how Detlinde’s shenanigans tie into Raublut’s and Georgine’s plans, whatever those might be. Is this great for them? Disastrous?
Was it Ferdinand’s letter that alluded to him knowing about Detlinde’s association with Leonizo? Regardless of whether Justus caught all of it I bet he knows pretty well what she’s doing since she’s been very open about her demands to Ferdinand.
I wondered about that too… and I think Ferdinand might have been mildly drugged by accident.
Remember how what little brains Detlinde has rattling in her mostly empty skull completely melted down, the moment she smelled Leonzio’s sweet smell up close and he touched her hand?
He already tried to touch Detlinde during their introduction, but had his hand smacked away by Ferdinand. I suspect that he tried to touch her, to put her under the effect of a drug. And when Ferdinand smacked his hand away, he got some of this onto his own skin, which might have cause him to take in a small dose of this drug, which in turn might have dulled his mind to some degree, while Detlinde later got a full dose during the private meeting.
The sweet smell would suggest Trug, but at least so far the effects seem to differ from the disorientation and memory loss reported by Matthias. I wonder if it’s actual trug, but of a smaller dose, a more refined and targeted version of trug than Georgine uses, or a different drug, made partially from the same ingredients, but with some different ingredients for the different effect.
Epilogue already!
Lutz x Tuuli is now canon.
Holy Lanzenave world building Batman!
