Even though I wanted to see the explanation to Kamil, I liked the story for Trauerqual even more. After all the suffering he went through and living a life, the endless sisyphus touling, that never showed any payoff and paying for the sins of his brothers, seeing him see the fruits of his labour for the first time since the war, was heartwarming. I hope what remains of the Werkestock population, will come around and be able to forgive him, for what the greater duchies and circumstances forced him to do... or that they'll at least keep the old grudges to themselves, so they'll die with their generation, rather then being passed down to their descendance, like it happened in Ehrenfest with the Leisegangs and Gloria followers.

Looking at the map and the alteratered borders discussed in Volume 11, I feel like Eglantine could have given Ehrenfest some of Zausengas's territory, instead of giving it all to Klassenberg. I know Sylvester said he didn't need anything beyond walking back on Rozemyne's adoption and marrying Sigiswald, but everything considered, a bit more appreciation than that would have been warrented, even if it was just a small portion of the former duchy, like drawing a straight line between it's Frenbeltag and Klassenberg borders, as a symbolic gesture to the rest of the country.
I bet most duchies will think that it was solely Rozemyne and Dunkelfelger who did everything, while thinking the rest of Ehrenfest didn't do anything and having this false assumption "confirmed" by Ehrenfest not getting any reward for their role in the fight. Sure they only gave rear-line support, but that's still more than literally any other duchy apart from Dunkelfelger and not-yet-Alexandria.
It's almost a shame we got the Epilogue from Lutz's POV. I'd love to be in Rozemyne's or Kamil's heads during the reunion. ~~I guess there's still a chance we will get a Kamil POV chaper, that overlaps with Lutz's epilogue. I certainly hope so, especially if they give him a more complete explanation, after Rozemyne and Ferdinand left.~~ Nevermind... I am so used to having side-story chapters, after the epilogue, I forgot this was the final release... :( Oh well, maybe we'll get something in the dedicated side-story books.
It was funny how Rozemyne said she was glad, Kamil still cried when she holds him. No wonder Lutz thinks he's dealt with enough wackos for one life time. ^^
I always thought that Florencia was neglectful and was assuming that Rozemyne was being educated by Elvira (without bothering to ask Elvira whether this assumption was true) and thus didn't lift much of a finger herself. I never realized the precarious situation she was in in regards to Rozemyne.
I guess she isn't a complete failure as a mother after all... even though I still hold a bit of resentment for it taking the Ivory Tower incident for her to take back control of Wilfried's education, rather than immediately doing it the moment Veronica was out of the picture, several months before.
Aunty Rozemyne :3
He even run toward Rozemyne of his own accord! Maybe the curse that had all babies she touched in this life and the previous burst out crying is finally broken. And it only took a literal divine possession to go away. :P
Has Quof or anyone at J-Novel said anything about the Hannelore spinn-off? It would be fantastic, if they'd start translating that right after the end of the main series.
I hope someone's going to have some oversight over Clarissa, when she works on the security shumil, otherwise they'll probably end up with the things incorporating a voice modulator, that'll be used to lecture any captured thieves about Rozemyne's greatness and divinity until the Human guards take them off their hands. ^^
With Philine not having graduated yet, I'm sure we'll hear a thing or two, or might even get side chapters from her in the Hannelore spinn-off. I'd still want one here too, but even if there isn't, there's still a chance later.
Considering the kind of talk put out and encouraged by Detlinde and Georgine, I have a feeling it might well be the other way around with the Ahrensbach nobles finding out the gremlin of Ehrenfest is actually a saint... at least those not already indoctrinated by Hartmut and Clarissa anyway. ^^
Didn't he say that already once, when she charged into Ahrensbach to save Ferdinand, while Sylvester was stuck in his own duchy, due to knowing of the imminent invastion? Or is my memory playing tricks on me?
Either way, here I think it shows that Sylvester noticed (and proofes) that for the first time since Sylvester met him, Ferdinand is doing things for his own wellbeing and not sacrificing his all for others.
If I have the numbers correctly in my head, Ferdinand is 13 years older than Myne (not counting the 2 year coma or age-shift for Rozemyne's fake noble birth), and Benno is another 8 or so years older than Ferdinand. While 13 is a lot, 21 is still quite a bit more... At least Ferdinand isn't old enough to comfortably be is future wife's father, which Benno is easily.
Though now thinking more on it... Kamil was described as a smat child, so shouldn't he wonder how Myne even knew what a book was, much less love them, at a time, when they didn't have a single scrap of parchament in their house? With the whole Divine Avatar of the Goddess of Wisdom, there'd even be an easy way out of the true explanation at hand, with which Rozemyne could dissemble. ^^
