Where's Rihyarda to scold Ferdinand for being cold to Letizia!

Also it sounds like Lanzenave has invented hard candy.

I feel bad for Dirk and Bertram. Everyone is such jerks.

Fast prepub; Felt a bit like a speed run to the RA.

Yass go to the farthest hall! Make things do stuff!

What do you mean being cold? I could hardly believe how nicely and considerate he is treating her... compared to what he did to Rozemyne. He even lets her take breaks! And agrees to further reduce her workload!!

I found the line about Letizia taking breaks funny, upsetting and reassuring at the same time. His already unrealistic expectations of children, were not just reinforced, but made even worse by Rozemyne being able to live up to and exceeding them, and despite complaining time and again how unusual Rozemyne was, he still seems to have gotten the idea in his head, that her soldiering through his schedule was normal for children. But that he is complaining about Letizia taking breaks, rather than taking about attemps to take breaks, means he does allow her to take those breaks, which is reassuring. If it wasn't for Rozemyne's influence, I'm sure he wouldn't have mellowed out enough to do so. So sure, compared to a caring guardian, he is still cold and demanding, but compared to how he was in the past, he's become a lot better.
