It's great seeing Wilfried step down from "guaranteed next aub". It looks like the contest for next aub will be between Charlotte, Malchiore, and the unborn baby. Sylvester said that the contest for succession will continue until he or Bonifatius dies though, which sound a lot like a death flag?
I don't see Sylvester going anywhere immediately, but... god it'd be so heart-wrenching if Bonifatius passed soon too. He's always just been the super kind grandpa who wants to dote on his grand-daughter.
Maybe I'm putting the cart before the horse though! 😅 There could even be something that triggers a need for succession that we're not privy to as readers yet, though I don't even know what that would be.
I just don't see him saying something like that and it truly being something that never becomes relevant within the scope of the series again. Really feels like a Chekhov's gun was loaded.
