Welp I can defiantly feel the stretch from 8 parts to 10 here, I didn't get my usual bookworm fill and I am looking for more.... I don't have a problem you have a problem. AND YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!

On that note, man does Grausam spell it out, how much they didn't understand their previous plans failures.

  • Bible Stealing and Poisoning, solved by Roz (with help from Fredi), credited to Ferdi

  • Finding the bible and raiding Gloria's Estate, solved by Roz, credited to Ferdi

  • Georgine's winter plans failing, solved by Roz who brought the dormitory together, credited to Sylvester

  • Heck even Ferdi being alive, it's not that he was saved, that's preposterous (even though the Gremlin and Dunk are in tow), Det must've lied.

OK, that last one and the needed chain of events is hard to believe, but even still. They completely underestimated her and from the sounds of it, it's because like the Falarm, they think she's "just a commoner" and that commoners are wastes of space, or just tools. They can't disrupt a Nobles plans.

And with Roz and Metais storing the estate he's going to get a firsthand (only hand in his case) lesson, in why you should never underestimate Roz.

Nono, we do have a problem. Not enough bookworm. It's terminal I'm afraid.

What I really love is that despite their plan so far being absolutely derailed (Ferdinand is not dead) and DUNKELFELGER of all duchies showing up on Ehrenfests side Grausam still believes that all will go accoeding to plan on Georgine's end. It does not even cross his mind that they are walking into a trap. Love the overconfidence.

I think half of it is underestimating Rozemyne, but the other half is definitely that he’s got a job to do. He’s isolated without a way to communicate with his allies. It’s down to endure or die, because Cornelius will tear Grausam in half if Angelica doesn’t get there first.
