How dare you call precious Hannelore "Lady Crybaby"!
So this week is more setup for Hannelore trying to defend against potential grooms. There is Kenntrips that struck down a deal for information. A bit short part this week but if next week is Fellowship Gathering then we should see Rozemyne.
To be honest, I'm more interested in Hannelore meeting Wilfried again. Her relationship with Rozemyne is... more or less known to us already, and I don't expect any particularly big upsets there. Hannelore might have some worries, but Rozemyne will surely do her best to keep their friendship, despite the changed circumstances her new rank bring with it, as unchanged as she can make it.
With Wilfried on the other hand, there are probably more unknowns and we also get a chance to not only see what she does and says, but also what she thinks and feels, since it'll be from her perspective. Does she still have a crush on him? Has she given up entirely on marrying him, or is there a lingering desire, that she only doesn't act on, because she doesn't want to bother Ehrenfest? Did Kenntrips words about supporting her attempt to marry into anther duchy, should she make one, set some thoughts in motion?
I'm unsure of how to feel about Raufereg. Should I be annoyed that he thinks only of ditter and doesn't consider the if, when and how to do things, as well as the consequences of his actions? Should I feel sorry for him, since with the archducal pair needing specifically an archnoble and not an archduke candidate if Hannelore is to marry within the duchy, taking him out of the game from the very start? Or should I feel endeard that his obsession isn't only with playing ditter himself, but also protecting Hannelore from the "horrible fate" of not being able to play ditter anymore, should she marry out of the duchy?
Probably more of the former two, with only a light smattering of the third. ^^
With Kenntrips on the other hand, it's a lot more straightforward. He's a really nice guy, so much so, that part of me kind of wishes, he'd end up with Hannelore, since that much care for her is something rare in Yurgenschmidt's noble society, and would probably bode well for a pleasant marriage, even if his feelings turn out to be non-romantic.
Unless of course he turns out to be a particularly cunning villain, who's just been playing a really long-perspective game of ingradiating himself to her for some nefarious purpose, but I really don't think that's the case, even though I can't fully rule out the possibility.
