I loved her description of the necklace that Ferdinand made, and wonder how he possibly had the time. He must have been planning/thinking about it for a little while, but everything is so very busy! It did leave me wondering if he also made one for the feystone he received. And I was reminded of the first time she was gifted a necklace, by Sylvester.

I kind of melted at the scene where he makes the teleportation circle in her new hidden room. Both that he embraces her, and that she insists that he come to her first meeting with her family. And the way he resists but melts. Awww. Though, I don't blame him for being a little afraid to face Gunther!

I am super curious about Ferdinand's plans for purging troublesome nobles of Ahrensbach...

I appreciated that Wilfried is squicked by her being engaged to Ferdinand after all. From his point of view, he absolutely should be, and it's funny to see him kind of wrestling with the former fiancee that he totally didn't want... going to someone else.

Surely with all this teasing we are getting a Damuel and Philine side story.

I'll riot if there is no Damuel x Philine side story

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.
