Come to think of it, being adopted by the royals and moving to the Sovereignty, might be a way for Rozemyne get back to her commoner family, in a limited way. The magic contract that forbids them from treating each other like family is a duchy-wide contract, if I'm not mistaken, so it won't work in the Sovereinty.
Between how well the royal family did in negotiations with Rozemyne so far, and that it would be of benefit to them, to have the Gutenbergs set up their base in the Sovereignty, I'm sure that Rozemyne would be allowed to take them with her, probably with some grace period, so the apprentices can take over in Ehrenfest, not leaving them hanging completely. Now they would only have to make Eva and Tuuli Gutenbergs as well. As a commoner, there is zero chance of Gunther being allowed to guard Princess Rozemyne, but I'm sure she could negotiate to have some commoner soldiers to guard her precious Gutenbergs, with Gunther naturally being the number 1 choice, not only because of nepotism :P but also because he is very well qualified (over-qualified in fact, considering he's a commander) and has escorted them before, albeit only to Hasse and back.
And should that not be allow, Gunther is good enough in woodworking (thanks to having learned it from his woodworker father, before he charged off to become a soldier) to be passed off one of the Gutenbergs too, if push came to shove.
Naturally they would need to keep things secret, but with the magic contract out of the way, I'm sure they could sneak in the occasional bit of family time, every now and then.
