I reread this part today and realized I forgot to mention another moment that really caught my attention, Sylvester telling Rozemyne that he entrusts his little brother to her.

That seems to me to be a hugely significant thing to say, particularly to one's legal daughter, and I'm still turning it over in my mind trying to understand what exactly Sylvester is thinking. Not that he's wrong of course. We've established many times that Myne saved Ferdinand even as he saved her, but it's super interesting to me that he specifically gives her the upper hand with that statement. And of course he knows that Rozemyne was an adult in another world before she was Myne also.

Then I also love that when Sylvester teased her about cleaning up nice until she opens her mouth, that Rozemyne shot it right back at him.

Didn't he say that already once, when she charged into Ahrensbach to save Ferdinand, while Sylvester was stuck in his own duchy, due to knowing of the imminent invastion? Or is my memory playing tricks on me?

Either way, here I think it shows that Sylvester noticed (and proofes) that for the first time since Sylvester met him, Ferdinand is doing things for his own wellbeing and not sacrificing his all for others.
