[Pre-Pub] Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 5 Volume 5 - Pre-Pub Part 6
As tensions rise over the increasingly important “Zent candidates,” Rozemyne finds herself entangled in the web of royal politics. Thankfully, this also secures her the chance to bargain with one of the princes...
You're viewing a single thread.
I love how Rozemyne just traumatized Siggy, no way this man expected such a smack down in the pre-negotiation round lol. His reaction to the library does remind me though that outside of Ehrenfest books are expensive because they can't simply be mass produced.
I think that in the end, the library thing might have saved Rozemyne. By making it her most serious personal condition, royals can still deny it and save face as "the ones with authority", while still accepting the conditions for Ehrenfest, as those are minor things that can be easily done.
Let's see how things unfold.
Seems a little foolhardy though, to antagonize her even just a little bit by denying her a book room. Maybe a compromise would be better? Like only an equal book room to Ferdinand's, or a book room that's only half full.
But Rozemyne is dead serious about the library being non-negotiable.
That is actually a good idea, though I highly doubt Rozemyne had that in mind when demanding the library
She rarely does 😅
It looks like from perspective of prince Roz trades freely with mana that he considers super valuable to have and inflates it's value due to tradition but for Roz books are more valuable than mana and also cheap due to printing revolution.
So we have a conflict
Rozmyne Sigiswald Books Desirable but cheap Very expensive Mana Abundant Reliant but expensive I am so interested to see the absolute whiplash the royals will feel once they realise that Ferdinand wasn't inventing squat when it comes to these revolutionary ideas. All Rozemyne herself and now she has even fewer brakes to slow her down.
"Am I truly going to marry this girl...?"
