Last week began with the epilogue from Letizia's point of view. We learn that Lanzenave has arrived a season earlier than usual in Ahrensbach and Ferdinand has been busy with Spring Prayer. After Letizia's retainer Roswitha mysteriously disappears, she seeks Ferdinand's help to find her. On her way to meet Ferdinand, Letizia is given strange tasting sweets and a silver tube—which Leonzio suggests she use when consulting with Ferdinand. Ferdinand tells Letizia that Roswitha is missing as part of a an obvious trap and to give up on finding her. Letizia has blurred thoughts of using the silver tube to convince Ferdinand to save her. The silver tube burst with a cloud of white powder that poisons Ferdinand. Ferdinand gives Letizia name-swearing stones to give to Justus and tells them to go. Leonzio and Detlinde later show up to falsely accuse Letizia of murder. Leonzio uses another silver tube to eliminate the guards protecting Letizia. Detlinde details her plans to send Letizia to Lanzenave along with the feystone of her murdered retainer Roswitha.
The other chapter was from Prince Sigiswald's point of view and takes place when Rozemyne disappears after providing mana to the statue of Mestionora in the library. Sigiswald meets with Rozemyne's retainers to discuss her disappearance. They decide to keep her disappearance a secret and use the excuse that she has been bedridden. As time goes on without Rozemyne's return, the royal family discusses alternatives to obtaining the Grutrissheit including having Eglantine visit the shrines now that she completed giving birth and nursing her baby. After yet more time has passed another meeting with Rozemyne's retainers takes place. Hartmut explains his ability to feel Rozemyne's mana growing stronger as a name-sworn and assures Sigiswald that Rozemyne is well. We learn that Fraularm was unanimously decided to be relieved of her teaching role after insisting that Ehrenfest was lying and Rozemyne had ascended to the distant heights. One night Sigiswald receives word that Rozemyne has contacted her retainers and needs to be let out of the Farthest Halls. Sigiwald realizes that Rozemyne has received the blessing of the gods when he sees her changed form. He agrees to Rozemyne's request to discuss the details of her absence during the Archduke conference.
This week will be the conclusion of part five volume seven with more side stories. Who's point of view would you like to follow this week?
Hirschur. I wanna see Hirshur as she learns Roze disappeared, Hartmut gets excited about her mana growing, and Fraularm going on about how Roze certainly ascended the towering stairway. With the latter, I'd also like to see Fraularm try to get information from Hirschur.
I want to see Fraularm stand sort-of trial before the panel of peers and unanimously being voted to be fired.
