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.
Damuel x Philine is making progress! Konrad and Dirk have a heartwarming friendship going on here, and it it mildly amusing to see that there positions in the hierarchy have effectively swapped. Finally, Hartmut has revealed how much he knows about Rozemyne's backstory, to the suprise of absolutely everyone present. In fact, Benno seemed to take it the best out of all of them. Also Benno's excitement upon hearing about the merchant priest hopeful is encouraging to see.
You know, there was a time when it would have surprised me that he found out, but after Elvira figuring it out, it's quite natural for him to also have deduced it.
I am not the least bit surprised, that Hartmut doesn't mind Rozemyne being a former commoner. I half expected him have the view that, her rising from her humble origins to princess is only more proof of her being favoured by the gods. ^^
So Elvira didn't actually figure out that Rozemyne was a commoner. She was told from the beginning. What she did figure out was who her family were based on her interactions.
