Ascendance of a Bookworm: Part 5 Volume 11 Part 2
Ferdinand starts a revolution that will abolish the distorted royal family and put a true Zent on the throne. Meanwhile, Rozemyne continues to wrestle with divine interference.
"lol Ferd wouldn't accept love like that"
Everyone else: "HOW DENSE ARE YOU?"
Dense as a stack of books
Denser than the ancient text she reads.
Despite Rozemyne being on top of a food chain She is still aromantic, bookloving gremlin.
Just like some sort of radioactive material, everyone needs to be shielded from her by impenetrable material.
I have lost it when Trauerqual binded his foolish son.
Raublut screwed over Hildebrand pretty hard. Were we ever told why he encouraged Hildebrand to get his schtappe?
Last part, he needed access to the inner shrine
To elaborate a little more, he needed someone from the main royal family to open the door to the farthest hall (branch family members like Gervasio don't have the authority for that), so his Lanzenave allies could gain their divine wills. And fooling Hildebrand was just the easiest way to get the door open, and the least likely to give away their ture allegiance prematurely.
"okay two books."
I love our gremlin.
Sylvester getting a hint of what that negotiation between Ferdinand and Trauerqual was really like, and how much duress must have been in play... Along with Ferdinand's white hot anger that after all that, the Royal Family still tried to take Rozemyne from Ehrenfest.
So many good bits in this part. Sigiswald showing how very very foolish and shallow he is, multiple times.
Hey! Don't spam so much. Just edit one comment.
Adolphine, telling Sigiswald to stop interrupting his betters. ✨
Rozemyne, just effortlessly Crushing everyone in the room without even being aware she's doing it...
Great support from Aub Dunkelfelger, especially the defense of Ferdinand...
Ferdinand's dazzling smile that means he's out for blood... 😅
Trauerqual, he's had a role to play that is often in opposition to Rozemyne and Ferdinand. The trug was certainly the last blow to him as a ruler. But he's not a bad guy, just someone trying to make things work. Him asking for permission to speak, and then binding Sigiswald, and apologizing and deferring to Rozemyne and Ferdinand, was a nice arc for him. He'll make a good aub of some random unclaimed duchy if he wants it, or maybe better, simply a nice retirement as an elder in one of the kids' duchies.
Ferdinand creating a condition where the next Zent must nameswear to Rozemyne!
Hartmut actively basking in Rozemyne's crushing mana... 😅
