PrePub - Ascendance of a Bookworm

Keep in mind that the gods are clearly aware of her time as Myne, so they would age her up to her actual age, not her noble age, meaning that Rozemyne went from looking younger than her known age, to looking one year older than she officially is. ^^

Myne, back in her day, was already 2 to 3 years behind in growth. The one year in the coma kind of balances out with her noble age being one year younger than her true age. But even after the first jureve, we were told that while Rozemyne started growing a bit, it was still slower than other children her age. So put that all together, and I would not be surprised if it was 4 years or even more she was behind and given in one big spurt now.

Same here on the reations. I'm looking forward to see, which of Rozemyne's retainers and friends manage to just take it in their stride, because of how used they are to the impossible and inplausible happening to and around her, and how many jaws will have to be picked up the floor.

Considering that from her letter to Grausam & Co she indicated that she had to look for the entrance to the Foundation, just moving that entrance should be enough to shut her plans down. Naturally that isn't a perfect solution either, since her first move would naturally be to assassinate Sylvester and only then take over the Foundation. Her discovering that she can't access the Foundation any longer is going to be little comfort if Syl is already dead at the time. So I think that's what they need to guard against more, the assassination.

But Georgine is under real time pressure now. Her plan hinges on the Zent being without a Grutrissheit and thus unable to just remake the Ehrenfest foundation and give it to someone else. The moment there is a true Zent, the only thing she can expect from murdering Sylvester and stealing his foundation, is a public execution. So unless she can prevent anyone from gaining a Grutrissheit, to assure that Sigiswald will become the next fake king, she needs to act fast. Of course if that were to happen and nobody is going to get a full Grutrissheit soon, the country is going to fall apart anyway, but right now Georgine does not know that and thus probably thinks that a fake king is to her advantage.

I wonder what will happen if the country foundation were to fail. Could the Aubs hold their duchies together to form a patchwork of effectively seperate mini-countries, or do the duchy foundations require the existence of the country foundation?
