I'm not sure if I am to feel sorry for Judithe, or just pat her head and smile. :3

Gustav stressing out over physical contact with a noble on the other hand, was just plain hilarious.

So finally we have got a description on how the mana sensing feels.

I wonder when will Rozemyne develop it?

I feel like it will be soon due to several checkovs guns and foreshadows.

I wonder if maybe Rozemyne already did develop it and just didn't feel it that intrusively, either because it happened while she was asleep or in the temple at the time, or due to being born as a devouring commoner and having the mark of Ewigeliebe for a long time. We've already seen moments in which Rozemyne was able to feel mana in her surroundings after all. The first time was, when Gloria replaced the high bishop bible with a fake and the latest, when she could feel Gervasio and what a threat he was, a moment before she layed eyes on him. It's by no means a certainty, but a possibility, I'd say.

Also as she is an archeduke candidate with ungodly amounts of mana she wouldn't notice as much that half the room is watching you, as no one would match her mana capacity.

I read some theories on reddit that she could sense Eglantine.

We also shouldn't forget that she's actually a year older than her official noble age.
