[P5V6P7] Prepub predictions (self.aobprepub)

Last week started with Rozemyne creating and distributing feystones with the crest of the Rozemyne Workshop for some of her commoner personnel and retainers who would stay in Ehrenfest until a later time. Tuuli's coming of age ceremony was performed and received an unanticipated large bonus blessing from an emotional Rozemyne.

Aub Ehrenfest interviewed Dirk and Bertram and accepted to become their guardian. Florencia gave birth to a baby girl and a week later the entwickeln was performed for Groschel.

The Harvest Festival was performed and the Gutenbergs were picked up from Kirnberger. Later the Gutenbergs were made aware of Rozemyne's future move from Ehrenfest. Charlotte and Rozemyne designed a medallion that will signify their bond as sisters.

With the main story of this book coming to a conclusion this week how do you think it will end?

This book probably ends with a departure back to the academy I expect. Can't think of much more that needs to be shown prior to that though. Ehnrenfest is getting all of its loose ends tied up, so feels like the story is ready to change setting again. I suppose the question will be whether royalty will engage more or less with Rozemyne this year ahead of schedule.

Agreed. Maybe a chapter or two of winter socializing and winter playroom before going off to the academy. I can't really think of anything else that needs to be wrapped up before departing.

Dirk's baptism would reveal his elements and whether being omni is something unique to Roz or something all devouring commoners have.

I don't think so.

We never got a mention of the citizenship medals glowing in different colours in the commoner baptisms, so I strongly suspect that this is a feature purposfully built only into the noble citizenship medals, that the ones for commoners lack.

Dirk's getting a noble baptism.

Oh right... no idea how that brain-fart happened. :o

But I think that would have been one of the things that Hartmut tested, before giving out the mana-draining magic tools and would have been mentioned in the interview, alongside the mana quantity, if it was something out of the ordinary.

Either way, if we are going to see that baptism, I expect it to be early in the next volume, right before it's off to the academy again.

Hartmut would probably not advertise it if it could get some people to think "just like Rozemyne".

There are plenty of side stories that would be interesting to see so it would be cool if the main story ended early this book and left room for more of those.
