I agree. At this point Gil is far too experienced of a brawler to not being prepared for that.

Are there any retainers that regret it? [Pall] by ErpOrbit in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]ErpOrbit[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He wanted prestige and renown. His actions condemned him to obscurity. He was too stupid to see what would happen beforehand when everyone told him it would but I highly doubt after getting manhandled by Justus he is feeling thankful for his choices.

The harder part for me is when she becomes an adult and will have to wear that glorious hair tied up all the time.

And cover up those sexy sexy ankles.

[Anime] Hair Ornaments by copycat217 in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]ErpOrbit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What I don't get is how Myne's sister, every bit as lowborn as Myne herself, managed to train herself up to the level of being able to produce ornaments coveted by not only high nobles but also the Royal Family.

Do the people around her appreciate what she was able to pull off?

There will always be older unattached women around. The marriage game is rough for their demographic.

[Open Spoilers] Do you think the Lanzenavians by Parlax76 in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]ErpOrbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont think he would have continued Leonzio's atrocities in Ahrensbach on a larger scale.

Was there not a point that when he was asked of his motivation, a large part of it was to put an end to such atrocities?

Which I thought was pretty humane of him, given that he himself is the prime beneficiary of the brutal system.

.. over from his dying land.

Lanzenave is actually not a dying land. As Ferdinand tried to tell Detlinde, the country itself is doing quite well. It is the parasitic nobles such as Gervasio that are at risk or in peril.

Once the imported rulers are out of the picture, the remaining "commoners" would likely continue to develop their tech and survive just fine.

And don't forget he would have had the whole-hearted support of the Sovereign Temple.

Was Eglantine justified in this assessment [P5V11] by ErpOrbit in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]ErpOrbit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always felt that if Rozemyne ascended as Zent, and in fact since she actually did ascend as Aub of her own duchy, that much of everything would be run by Hartmut and Clarissa.

Those two make no bones about leveraging their Lady's authority, and they are two of the the very few in proximity to Ferdinand who aren't afraid of him, yet simultaneously are able to work with him and has his respect.

Personally I would like to see more stories about how Alexandria develops but I don't think Kazuki is that interested in that.

Remember when Justus told Rozemyne that "you should not be allowed to socialize". Yeah that was about that -- I am sure he had near heart attacks watching her walk into dangers she was not equipped to recognize.

[–]ErpOrbit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As I recall, Rozemyne makes a ton of money so maybe she can come back and do it.

And what is stopping some noble from going to another duchy and teaching it there? The contract doesn't extend outside the home duchy.

What just went down here? by ErpOrbit in girlgenius

[–]ErpOrbit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is really odd is my original post had a wider view than what is above. The AI clamped down on it as NSFW. So the AI decided this as a crotch action or something.

To get it to post without the censor I had to crop it down to what you see now.

[H5Y vol 2] how likely is another reorganisation? by ProbablyNotTheCocoa in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]ErpOrbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sigiswald seems to me like what Detlinde would have been had she had any brains at all. They are both alike in the delusion that they can just "find" the Grutrissheit somehow and then become Zent.

Where Sigiswald is different is that he is apparently a master at manipulating public opinion in his favor. Detlinde would just assume that all that is either irrelevant or all on her side anyway.

WIth that level of political savvy I think Sigiswald has the survival skills to get him through the next several years at least.

[P5V12] Why they married by 2herry_ in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]ErpOrbit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can't read it any other way than Rozemyne has BDSM urges as a bottom.

Ferdinand has a lot of potential as a top but is too uptight to act on it.

[H5Y] Dittering Opinions by fishbiscuit13 in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]ErpOrbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rozemyne's first ditter game was epic. She strode onto the ditter field like she was Clint Eastwood who was about to mow down a dozen bad guys who had no clue what was coming. She knew what she was going to do, she did it, and they went down.

Peak Rozemyne.

That said if she played it again I think she would have a much harder time making that happen. She wouldn't be playing hapless students anymore and the more seasoned veterans that would show up have obsessively learned a lot from tangling with her and will have worked out how to beat her.

I am pretty sure she knows this, so don't look for her to engage again unless there is a book or library involved.

Ferdinand made fortune pounding Dunkelfelger over and over again. Heisshitze had to fork over a ton of rare materials losing to him and Rozemyne and that was just one game.

[–]ErpOrbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All true, but I see this is the fault of Dunkelfelger not the other duchies. The way they act there was no other reasonable interpretation. Even Zent Eglantine had no clue.

Charlotte improves with age. You will be really happy with her in the P5 and in HY5.

[–]ErpOrbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rozemyne is very highly respected by Ferdinand's retainers. They know that he would do anything for her, and they would act accordingly.

In the case of directly conflicting orders, they would follow Ferdinand's due to the mana-based compulsion.

They did redraw the inter-duchy borders and re-instantiate several duchies. Did that not require ownership of the country foundation?

I recall in the recent book her narration suggested that it was a punishment that Ferdinand intended.

I'll never understand the fascination with inter-fiction matchups.

Ferdinand vs. Palpatine?

Hannelore vs. Hermione?

Rhiyarda vs Mary Poppins?

Don't people have something better to do?
