Cliff Hanger nooooo. Hope we get a Hartmut or Clarisa side story.
Georgine's SS was beautiful. Damn the Sly whining Georgine that he didn't want to be Aub. Must've stung to hear those same words coming from Wilfs mouth.
The ironic part is that if Georgine hadn't immediately bullied Sylvester, they could've teamed up to make her aub. Veronica wouldn't have been able to do much if Sylvester had told all the nobles "I don't want to be aub, Georgine is much better suited for it". But for some reason Georgine directed all her hate at the innocent kid instead of the mother who was actually responsible, and closed off that route herself.
At first I thought that ironic enough, had Sylvester and Georgine teamed up to make her Aub, it would have been great for Ehrenfest in the short run, but catastrophic for the country and thus also Ehrenfest in the long run, since the kingdomw is on a course to self-destruction, that seemingly only Rozemyne was able to turn around. And Gerogine being Georgine, there would have been no chance for Rozemyne to become a noble and get the country into the right direction again.
But then I considered how early in Georgine's formitive years this would have been. If she had gotten into a loving sibling relationship with Sylvester, chances are that she might have gotten along great with Ferdinand too, when he came into the duchy and with two loving siblings, she might well have turned out a considerably better person. Not to mention that with her as the Aub being on good terms with both Ferdinand and Sylvester, on top of her foresight, intelligence and pragmatism, Rozemyne might still have been adopted into noble society and ended up the saviour of Yurgenschmidt.
Or she might have already been too corrupted by Veronica's (metaphorical) poisons and turned into a horrible tyrant, who'd have caused a civil war in Ehrenfest or some other catastrophe. ^^
You could write multiple interesting what-if fan ficts with the Georgine-Sylvester team up as a starting point. ^^
Agreed. In her position, I'd have tried to assassinate Veronica, not Sylvester.
