[P5V6P6] Prepub predictions (self.aobprepub)

Last week we continued with the Leisegang interaction. The issue was resolved fairly peacefully and was revealed to have been caused by Florencia manipulating Barthold in attempt to curtail the Leisegang influence.

Sylvester returned from Ahrensbach with gifts, materials, and correspondence from Ferdinand. A more simplified method of producing the maximal quality paper was also revealed. Unfortunately the highly coveted "very good" praise was not to be had for Rozemyne's efforts.

The story left off with a trombe hunt to create more fireproof paper. Following that was the starbind ceremony where Zack was married and Damuel learns of Philine's future intentions.

Where do you predict the story will take us in the near future?

Probably the same reason why she has kept them out of the loop this entire time: The secret is just too big and volatile to take any risks.

Considering how loyal they are, we can probably rule out any intentional leaks, but either swearing them to slience via name-swearing or keeping them out of the loop would make sure there can't be any accidental leaks either. They can't accidentally spill any hints toward something they don't know and if they name-sworn are ordered to silence with the proper wording, the only way they could ever reveal something, is probably by having their heads examined with a memory searching magic tool (probably post-mortem, since I suspect they'd rather kill themselves than allow this).

Well, giving a gift doesn't mean revealing their past. Rozemyne likes to protect her craftspeople is already common knowledge.
