Isn’t it wonderful when a different country knows more about your most important founding document than your own leadership?

Also, as much as we like to hate Detlinde, I feel like Ferdinand was being a bit dumb this chapter. This isnt Ehrenfest with Rozemyne, where you can bully her, and you can rely on a somewhat competent support team to rein her in.

This is Detlinde, who basically is trying to speedrun getting executed for treason, and has no one reining her in. They let her do whatever she wants with minor wrist slaps.

I feel like Ferdinand let his frustration with Detlinde get the better of him. I have higher expectations of the Lord of Evil to deceive and manipulate Detlinde. Perhaps moving all his furniture the previous day wore him out.
