Hannelore is the best bestie

I don't know what's scarier. Being corrupted by Hartmut from worship of the saint or Elvira through romance stories.

Being corrupted by crazy Zent that wants you to read and write books so she can indulge in a pool a la Scrooge McDuck.

Didn't she say she wanted to go to other lands to explore their libraries. Isn't it obvious that she wouldn't have money since she pushes it to other duchies to build her grand libraries which she can teleport between. Heck she's generous so she'll even give out free mana too.

At least swimming in paper will still be much more pleasant than swimming in coins

Three mothers, one on Earth, Effa and Elvira... no mention of Florencia. I mean... I get it and have been quite critical of Florancia's neglect toward Rozemyne (based on the mistaken assumption that Elvira would take care of her) in the past too, but it's still a little bit sad, that Rozemyne didn't even think of her among her set of mothers, not even as an afterthought.

I was hoping that we'd also get some interactions between Hannelore and Wilfried, to see if her crush is still there and if maybe they'll have a future together, despite their ditter induced engagement being anulled quickly. With him no longer going to be Aub, Hannelore would have to fight hard for the permission of her parents, but I think she could do it, if she really wanted to. And with how enamoured she was with romance stories to begin with, I could see how further corruption by.... erm, I mean personal contact with Elvira might just be enough to push her over the edge and pursuit love over her responsibilities as an archduke candidate after all.

I think now that he's sorted out, Wilfried might turn into a good husband after all. He'd certainly give his all to protect with wife and children I'm sure.
