It's almost a shame we got the Epilogue from Lutz's POV. I'd love to be in Rozemyne's or Kamil's heads during the reunion. ~~I guess there's still a chance we will get a Kamil POV chaper, that overlaps with Lutz's epilogue. I certainly hope so, especially if they give him a more complete explanation, after Rozemyne and Ferdinand left.~~ Nevermind... I am so used to having side-story chapters, after the epilogue, I forgot this was the final release... :( Oh well, maybe we'll get something in the dedicated side-story books.

It was funny how Rozemyne said she was glad, Kamil still cried when she holds him. No wonder Lutz thinks he's dealt with enough wackos for one life time. ^^

There's a couple of bonus stories (MTL translated) that may offer you some relief:

Even though I wanted to see the explanation to Kamil, I liked the story for Trauerqual even more. After all the suffering he went through and living a life, the endless sisyphus touling, that never showed any payoff and paying for the sins of his brothers, seeing him see the fruits of his labour for the first time since the war, was heartwarming. I hope what remains of the Werkestock population, will come around and be able to forgive him, for what the greater duchies and circumstances forced him to do... or that they'll at least keep the old grudges to themselves, so they'll die with their generation, rather then being passed down to their descendance, like it happened in Ehrenfest with the Leisegangs and Gloria followers.

Though now thinking more on it... Kamil was described as a smat child, so shouldn't he wonder how Myne even knew what a book was, much less love them, at a time, when they didn't have a single scrap of parchament in their house? With the whole Divine Avatar of the Goddess of Wisdom, there'd even be an easy way out of the true explanation at hand, with which Rozemyne could dissemble. ^^
