You know there is one nifty invention called printing press. And there is one yellow eyed gremlin sprinting to make a copy.
I smell a bloody coup from Lanzenave. Ferdinand knows that Roz made a deal with the king due the granting of secret room to him. Did Leonzio use some sort of aphrodisiac?
I can't remember from where was Ferdinand's mother.
The printing press won't matter for the Grutrissheit. To copy a magic tool book like the enchanted bibles, you need to also copy the magic circles and fit it with feystones and all that, so the enchantment can work. Copying only the text will just give you the stories and prayers, but none of the magical functionality, like operating country gates, redrawing internal borders and destroying or creating new duchy foundations.
And not even Rozemyne will be so brazen as to mass print the holy relic of Mestionora. Not when there are already perfectly non-magical versions of the bible to multiply.
However, she might mass produce a book that teaches people how to properly manage their temples, work as High Bishop and Archduke Candidate at the same time, how to make divine instruments, gain divine protections and how to become a Zent Candidate. If all that information is published in far too many distributed copies to censor, the country has to revert to its original practices where anyone can be Zent.
With how eager Trauerqual is to get out of his position, even if it means leaving Detlinde of all people on the throne, I feel like he's more likely to do that, once printing industry is established in the Sovereignty than Rozemyne herself. ^^
