[P5V6P8] Prepub predictions (self.aobprepub)

Last week started off with the epilogue following Lutz's perspective after meeting with Rozemyne in the temple. We learn that Lutz and Tuuli are now engaged. Lutz also obtains permission from his parents to move away from Ehrenfest.

The other chapter was from Detlinde's point of view and takes place before Aub Ahrensbach's funeral. We are introduced to the king of Lanzenave's grandson, Leonzio, whom pleads with Detlinde over the Zent's refusal to accept a Lanzenave princess. Detlinde is swayed by his words and vows to aid him. She is unable to convince Ferdinand to join in her plight to persuade the Zent and considers Ferdinand to be heartless. Detlinde returns to Leonzio where he expresses his desire to have Detlinde take the throne and for them to be wed.

This week will conclude Part 5 Volume 6. Who else would you like to see a point of view chapter for?

Detlinde's chapter was enough to cover the major Ahrensbach drama so I don't think we need a Ferdinand or Sylvester perspective from the funeral now, though I wouldn't be surprised if we do just because it seems like there's enough going on there to fill multiple chapters.

Maybe a royal perspective going through Rozemyne's list of demands (like a royal headache report) could be interesting, highlighting some of the prep they're making on their end and it could comment on the funeral too.

Otherwise within Ehrenfest feels like we could do any of the first time prayer-goers, something with Damuel/Philine interactions, temple attendants learning that they're being left behind, Wilfried interacting with Barthold after being tipped off by Florencia - from any of his retainers perspective.

Royal headache report sounds hilarious. I want it

I wouldn't mind seeing the funeral incident. I was a bit bummed out, when Detlinde's chapter ended before that happened.

Could be from Ferdinand, Justus, Sylvester, Eckhart, one of Detlinde's retainers, or maybe even a royal. I doubt we'll get anything from Raublut's point of view, since that would confirm whether he's a good or a bad guy, which I'm still on the fence about... and I strongly suspect that was by design.

Personally I would like to have an Anastasius chapter one of these days, and him thinking about his brother. He has got to have noticed how incompetent Sigiswald is in certain areas and how unmotivated or straight up ignorant he is in others, and I'd like to know what he thinks about that.

I'd like to see a Clarissa PoV chapter. She helped out with the max quality fey paper and the post entwickeln cleanup this book. We haven't really seen too much of what her day to day is like since coming to Ehrenfest.
