Illgner’s Harvest Festival

As I was glaring at the lists, struggling to memorize them all, the flapping wings of an ordonnanz came into earshot. The bird flew into the room and landed on Brigitte’s arm.

“You’ll be arriving tomorrow evening? Got it. I’ll discuss dinner plans with them later,” it said in Giebe Illgner’s voice. “Could you tell Lady Rozemyne that the Harvest Festival is scheduled for the day after tomorrow? Also, make sure you speak to her about what we discussed. I’m counting on you.”

After repeating the message three times, the ordonnanz returned to the shape of a yellow feystone.

“My apologies, Lady Rozemyne. I informed my brother of our plans earlier, but I didn’t expect him to respond while I was on duty.”

“I don’t mind; contacting the giebe is part of your job. How are things in Illgner?”

Now that my gathering was complete, Illgner was next up on my list of worries. They had hurriedly begun educating their people in preparation for Ferdinand’s visit, but I still wasn’t sure how tomorrow would go.

“Things are starting to take shape. I’m told the gray priests have been working exceptionally hard.”

“I see. That’s good,” I said quietly, letting out a small sigh of relief. “I... do apologize for all this. It never even crossed my mind before Ferdinand pointed it out...”

Brigitte blinked in confusion. “Lady Rozemyne?”

“I quite like how close the commoners are with the nobles in Illgner, and up until recently, I assumed it wouldn’t be an issue so long as I handled things myself. I never thought that Ferdinand would personally travel there, or that other nobles would start visiting to observe the paper-making process.”

Going forward, my discussions with giebes about expanding the printing and paper-making industries would be held at the archduke’s castle. I had assumed that the Rozemyne Workshop in the temple would suffice for those who wanted to learn more about both industries, especially considering that Illgner was so far away, but the reality was that visiting the temple wasn’t considered at all worthwhile from a noble’s perspective.

The blood really had drained from my face when Ferdinand pointed out that no noble would want to visit the temple. Plus, even those who didn’t mind going there wouldn’t find it a meaningful reference, since the workshop there had unusual financing and labor arrangements

“Please do not feel responsible for this, Lady Rozemyne. This is something that we should have understood on our own, without you or Lord Ferdinand pointing it out to us,” Brigitte said. She then paused, hesitating for a moment before she continued. “Lady Rozemyne, there is something I wish to ask you. May I have a moment of your time?”

“I have been instructed to stay in my room for the entire day, so of course. It is rare for you to bring something up on your own, though.”

After informing Damuel that she would be taking a temporary break from guard duty, Brigitte turned to face me; I assumed she wanted to talk about the “what we discussed” that the ordonnanz had mentioned.
