What if Alexandria will get roped into bride stealing ditter and Rozemyne will end up with Hannelore by some Lord of Evil made plot.

Edit: "Volume 2 is scheduled to have a Japanese release in Summer 2025 but a precise date has not been given."

So it seems that mynedays have ended for now. See y'all next time. I hope Dregarnuhr will weave our threads swiftly.

With Wilfried being scheduled to demotion to Giebe, it's clear that Sylvester is of the opinion, they don't need his mana for the archducal family and don't really need him as a backup in case something happens to his siblings either... so could Rozemyne and Ferdinand adopt Wilfried, get him into Alexandria and there marry him and Hannelore, so they have a bit more of an archducal family than just the two of them (I'm disregarding Letizia, since she's already engaged to Hildebrand and thus almost assuredly going to leave for Blumenfeld in some 7 to 9 years).

As for the real world, there are a couple of Fanbooks already released in Japanese to catch up on, right? Maybe we'll get them at a faster pace instead.

I have to say, I am surprised at Sigiswald. He is as assogrant and naive in some matters as expected, like thinking it'd be trivial to gain the support of other duchies, especially through his brother and father, but to even think of having to aquire allies, instead of taking them for granted without taking action, is more than I expected of him.

And getting the lesser duchies and Raufereg to dance to his tune, through careful rumours rather than trying to bludeon them with authority he only thinks he has, but really doesn't, was without a doubt a smart move. Risky, since in such a chaotic free-for-all, any of those other duchies and the splinter Dunkelfelger faction might win, even if by chance, but with how little chance they would have stood to win otherwise, a surprisingly intelligent move from such an imbecil. I would rather have expected someone else to have come up with it and him taking credit for it, than him actually being semi-competent for once.
