Okay... what is up with Hartmut? Was it just a wild guess and blind optimism and faith on his part that convinced him that Rozemyne was growing physically alongside her mana capacity, or does he really have some kind of connection with the gods of his own now, that granted him a deeper insight to Rozemyne's situation than any of her other name-sworn?
He prayed to Schlaftraum for divine revelation.
If those prayers were answered, he spent the past few months dreaming about watching Rozemyne grow and take off her clothes in slow motion.
It's because he's name-sworn, and his mana is wrapped in Rozemyne's. I guess when she's experiencing extreme mana variations, name-sworn can too? Him being one of the few archnobles in her retinue also means he's one of the few people of a similar mana capacity to hers, so he may be more sensitive to changes as well, while her other name-sworn can't tell the difference. That's my guess at least.
It also helps that Hartmut is the most ambitious of his retainers, and would unflinchingly predict that Rozemyne would be in the presence of a god.
