So the Duchy of Alexandria is born.

Did Ferdinand changed how he looks at Rozemyne along the way? Something must have happened behind the scenes.

There was a motif somewhere about an arranged marriage leading to romantic love. Was that some sort of checkovs gun?

Rozemyne basically admits here that she is an aromantic.

The arranged marriage would have been either Wilfried or Sigi, which varried in success from 'our retainers need to work behind the scenes to keep us from meeting" to "I'm trying to not turn your entire family into mana batteries, but you aren't making it easy"

Ferdimyne, in contrast, has been foreshadowed since Myne's temple days (although it has gotten slightly less creapy now that she is less underage)
