Come to think of it though, the royal did say they'd try to squeeze some shrine visits and prayers into their year and Eglantine already had one tablet last winter. I wonder if she might be able to see a bit more than any of the other nobles. She didn't mention anything about seeing the circle to Rozemyne, but that doesn't necessarily mean she can't see it. She might be keeping it to herself for one reason or the other, or have been ordered not to tell Rozemyne by one of the princes or the king.
And I can immediately think of one potential reason: If Rozemyne learned that Eglantine was close to obtaining the Grutrissheit too, she's probably try to wriggle out of the adoption. But the royal family has a lot to gain from having Rozemyne among them. So I would not put it past them to make sure that the adoption and engagement to Sigiswald are through and done, before Eglantine makes a "surprising" breakthrough in her obtaining of the Grutrissheit. Then again... if they could choose between the future wife of the future king getting the holy book or the wife of the king's brohter, they might choose to have Rozemyne get the bible after all.
I'm wondering if Ferdinand could see the magic circle himself. I kind of feel like maybe he had visited all the shrines back when he was a student. Since he attended the Royal Academy all year to avoid Veronica he would have had the opportunity to visit the shrines when they weren't covered in snow.
