Hildebrand is plotting something, and it isn't anything good for our protagonist. Rozmyne made all of yogurtland a pen with livestock just to harvest mana from nobles. We still don't know what will happen to Ferdinand, but at least Rozmyne put forth a conditions to secure his safety. And in classical Rozmyne fashion she demands a Library grater than all the others she had had.

Truly she have put Sigiswald throught the magle to get what she wanted in true merchant fashion.

Once Hildebrand finds out about the adoption and engagement, he might plot to make book addicted Dunkelfelger demand that Rozemyne should be given the throne as the true Zent and she should marry someone who loves her instead of becoming a third wife in a purely political marriage. There's two years between adoption/book acquisition and the marriage.

Obviously he'd be pretty heartbroken when the plot works, she marries Ferdinand and arranges for Hildebrand to be sent to Ehrenfest as first husband of Aub Charlotte.

I almost pity the poor guy, Rozemyne really slapped some demands in his face he wasn't imagining in his wildest dreams.

On the other hand we see another glimpse of royal arrogance so I can't feel too sorry
