I love the "I want to embroider your cape" language. It seems to encapsulate so much of their relationship, I want to protect you and keep you from harm, as family. I was breathless reading to the end hoping the section would reveal it and not make us wait for another part, and I was not disappointed. Thoughtful and mature from Rozemyne, and yet full of personal meaning that seems likely to resonate for Ferdinand. What a great callback to the earlier novels. Once again I'm so appreciative of the magic of Kazuki-sensei.

Also to anyone knowing Ferdinand it screams "I want to be the person you can entrust your safety to", the man is way too paranoid to let anyone touch his cape so her wanting to embroider it is a pretty strong statement to those who know him well enough.

Also that Ferdinand of all people knows how much she hates embroidery! 😅 That will be an act of true love.
