Rozemyne will take on even the gods themselves in her quest to rescue Ferdinand. She speeds to Ahrensbach faster than Steifebrise, and as the battle against Lanzenave commences, Georgine finally begins her invasion. To war!
Ferdinand tasting his very own rejuvenatin potions and immediately thinking that such a vile liquid can only be poison was hilarious. :D
But on a more serious note, it is very fortunate to the kingdom that Ferdinand didn’t get his way and be allowed to die. When he resigned himself to die, so Rozemyne could have the Grutrissheit, he overlooked two MASSIVE problems with his plan.
Erwaermen was very specific about Rozemyne having to obtain Ferdinand’s feystone, to complete the Grutrissheit. Now it’s possible this was a figure of speech, to avoid saying “kill him” outright, but if it’s not… If he had died, as he resigned himself to, his feystone would have either remained in Ahrensbach, or gone to Lanzenave, as far as he knew. Meaning that to complete her Grutrissheit, Rozemyne would have had to infiltrate or invade either a foreign duchy, or even country anyway, but without the added motivation of saving his life (and the allies this enabled her to get, but again, he didn’t know about that at this point yet).
He was aware of Georgine launching an invasion. An invasion I am quite confident Ehrenfest would not have been able to fend off, if it hadn’t been for getting help from Dunkelfelger and the Ahrensbach knights that switched to Rozemyne’s side. So if he had gotten his wish and Rozemyne had done nothing to safe him, Georgine would most likely have won the war with Ehrenfest. And if she did, Rozemyne would have been on the chopping block, or more likely tortured to death over a longer period of time, in short order, for being part of the reason why Georgine’s beloved uncle was executed.
Now the first could go either way, but the latter I am very certain of. I hope someone in the story will come to the same realization and call Ferdinand a fool for overlooking such a massive flaw in his plan. Justus might be a good candidate for it, just prior to giving his name to Ferdinand again (which I’m sure will happen sooner or later). Rozemyne saying it would be more satisfying, but I doubt she’d spend time thinking about what-ifs like that.
