PrePub - Ascendance of a Bookworm

Ah, look at her, collecting suitors like Rozemyne collects books. ^^

Hmm... I wonder if the students have to call Elgantine professor or zent, when she's teaching them. Usually professor overrides all other titles during lessons, but does this apply even to zent?

Elgantine teaches the sixth year and Anastasius the fifth year archduke candidate course... and what about the third and fourth years? Would they be able to get Trauerqual or one of his wives to stand in for that, despite them no longer being royals? I doubt that Nahelache and Sigiswald would be able to help, with them being the only members of their archduke family, bar a 1 year old child. And I doubt they'd want Sigiswald as a professor anyway, though Nahelache as someone who already did one year of teaching the archduke candidate course, would be well suited, if she could help out.

Or can they put anyone into that position, who finished the course in their academy time? Professor Gundolf would come to mind for that.

Why is Hildebrand still wearing schtappe sealing bracers? Weren't they going to make a ring for him, that would do the same thing without standing out? Did his father and mother really not have the leeway to make or order one made in three full seasons?

I'm glad Hannelore put down Raufereg for calling Wilfried a coward. It's annoying enough when experienced warriors say it, but this little twirp, who has yet to stand his ground before his first opponent has absolutely no right to call anyone else a coward, especially not someone who not only fought ditter against a duchy many ranks above them (keep in mind that Ehrenfest got it's rank primarily by their academic performance and new trends and products, while their knights were well below the duchy rank in ditter outcomes, back then), but who fought in a real war. Those knights he was up against might only have been a diversion force, but they still fought to kill.

If Wilfried wasn't four years older and had a schtappe, while Raufereg doesn't, I'd hope for a duel in which Wilfried destroyed the loudmouth, but beating someone four years your junior is hardly a way to rid yourself of accusations of cowardice.
