Eglantine’s Name-Swearing

Ferdinand, Sylvester, Florencia, and I went to the dormitory’s common room to begin instructing our retinues. My retainers all gathered around me and awaited their next orders.

“Hartmut,” I said, “please help prepare for the Grutrissheit transference ceremony in four days’ time and serve as its High Priest. You will need to hurry back to Ehrenfest’s temple to fetch your ceremonial robes, among other things. From tomorrow onward, I must also ask that you teach Prince Anastasius as much as you can about the ceremonies.”

Hartmut accepted, radiating motivation. “I shall ensure the divine-avatar-led transference ceremony is performed to perfection.”

I went on to ask that the adult guard knights who had participated in the Academy’s ceremonies disguised as blue priests and shrine maidens make their own preparations as well.

“There is no reason we cannot serve as your guard during the ceremonies,” Leonore declared. “But if you would permit me to ask, who is receiving the Grutrissheit?”

“Lady Eglantine,” I replied. “In truth, I wished to assign Hartmut to her before she took over as the Sovereign High Bishop. She had other matters to prioritize, though, so Prince Anastasius is providing his support instead.”

I was explaining the gist of our meeting when Ferdinand came over and gave Hartmut some notes. “These detail the ceremonies in full,” he said. “If you must travel between Ehrenfest and the Sovereign temple on top of assisting Prince Anastasius, then leave the key we discussed with Rozemyne.”

“Understood.”

Hartmut removed the bible’s key from his neck and put it around mine instead. He asked Ferdinand a few questions about the notes he had just received, then turned on his heel and started carrying out his orders.

“We shall return to Ehrenfest as well,” Hartmut said. “Judithe, Laurenz, Matthias—the rest is up to you.”

“Understood!”

Cornelius, Leonore, Angelica, and Damuel followed Hartmut out of the common room. I watched them go, then summoned Gretia and Lieseleta.

“Sorry to make you go back and forth like this, but I must ask you to retrieve my ceremonial robes and hair ornaments from Ahrensbach. I will use feystones for my shoes, so you need not worry about those.”

“As you wish, my lady.”

The pair departed for the villa; Rihyarda and the others were at the dormitory today, so there wouldn’t be a lack of attendants to look after me. Justus hurried out as well, having apparently received orders of some kind from Ferdinand.

“Philine, take this to Ehrenfest and ask the Rozemyne Workshop to start printing copies,” I said, handing her the manuscript we would distribute once the new Zent was crowned. “The aub has given his permission, but be sure to run it past Mother as well. Twenty-five copies should do. We intend to give them out during the Archduke Conference, so they need to be prioritized above all else. Mother and Muriella can split the work between themselves and even distribute some to Hasse’s monastery.”

“Yes, my lady.”

Roderick watched nervously as Philine left clutching the manuscript. “Lady Rozemyne, what about the Dunkelfelger story I’m writing?”

“Aub Dunkelfelger will not take the throne, so your time constraints have been removed.
