I wonder how the negotiations with the royals are going to go.

I bet Trauerqual will be only to happy to agree and probably try to shove his crown on Rozemyne, the moment he hears that she has the Grutrissheit, even if it's just two thirds. Anastasius and Magdalena will be only too happy to get a way to execute Detlinde, so they'll probably be all for it. But the wildcard I can't predict is Sigiswald. Also Trauerqual's first and second wife, since we have no clue about what they are like...

There is also the issue of Raublut. Here he can really show his colours and either confirm himself to covertly work against the Royal Family, or turn out to be an overly cautious and foolish loyalist, who mistakenly fixated on Ferdinand and Ehrenfest as the real threat, while unknowning cooperating with the actual threat.

Unless he sees Ahrensbach merely as a convenient tool, rather than an integral ally to his plans. If that's the case, he might go along with the "true ditter" to keep his cover up and help crush Ahrensbach.
