Of course Barthold is the one keeping Oswald in the loop. This guy.

Flo bringing up embroidery again? These noblewomen...can't they see Roz is busy with a bunch of other important stuff? Though it'd be funny if later in the story Sigi mocks Roz for not being able to embroider, and that's when she finally snaps and crushes him.

Flo gets some flak for not properly educating Roz, but here we see that she wanted to, but it was de-prioritized in favor of Roz's other endeavors. Also reiterating her misunderstanding about Elvira going to the temple...I wonder if that will become a plot point.

Sylvester going to Ahrensbach alone makes me apprehensive. Also this talk of "if I die first Boni's here." Maybe you should stay home and let Ferdinand cover for you.

Wilfried...semi-redeemed? He wasn't really scheming or up to no good, just dissatisfied with his situation. Seems like he's still a good kid at heart.

To be fair to Florencia, embroidery is one of the ways noblewomen defend themselves. They embroider their husband’s capes true, but also their own. We know Roz just brews charms for herself and her loved ones if needed but that’s a Ferdinand approach, a typical noble women would embroider magic circles, so it is quite important.
