Glad we got some more insight into how Raublut fits into the picture. We knew he had some kind of tie in to Ahrensbach, but evidently it was really the king of Lanzenave where his true allegiance lied.
Now I'm much more worried about Hortensia. I thought she might have been pregnant and not in real trouble and that Raublut was merely a 'red herring' character, but not now. Her being a key holder to reach the Grutrissheit in the underground archive means she is a prime target for Leonzio and Detlinde's scheme. Glad the door needs three keys to open and am pretty sure that's not a door that can be overcome with silver cloth, but who knows. It also probably means that Raublut knows who the other key holders are and likely has some scheme in place to obtain Rozemyne and Hannelore's keys.
Also suspecting Raublut's involvement with the poisoning of the third prince. Not really sure why the current Zent decided to keep this guy around. Perhaps just a lack of nobles due to the purge, which Raublut was likely in favor of.
I was definitely wondering about Raublut and what role he'd play. Your comment does give me a little hope that Hortensia is still alive at least...
