Wilfred the wet cat of a man that won't propose to Hannelore, won't even flinch when she gets possessed by Goddess of Time. Rozemyne trained him well.

Edit: The death when body lacks soul to circulate the mana is a nice breadcrumb of world building. It matches that to contain mana you need willpower and it could develop into a reason on how isekai was even possible.

I'd imagine Charlotte and Rozemyne's retainers would have taken it in their stride too and Ferdinand didn't even seem too put out even the first time it happened. ^^

Either way I'm glad Kenntrips was able to see Wilfried's good side and realized that he did indeed think he was helping Hannelore by rejecting their ditter engagement contract out of ignorance rather than malice. Those ditter heads of Dunkelfelger really need someone to talk some sense into them, so they realize that it's their own duchy that's unique and weird and that the rest of Yurgenschmidt has a very different "common" sense than them. Maybe Kenntrips can be that first chinck in their armour of ignorance.
