[P5V7P6] Prepub Predictions (bookwormstory.social)

Last week began with Rozemyne being measured for new clothes. The seamstresses present who knew her—Tuuli included—were shocked to see how much she had changed. She pledges to protect Tuuli no matter what happens.

Rozemyne meets with Sylvester and explains that their bible key was swapped for Ahrensbach's. They consider their options for protecting Ehrenfest and formulate strategies to that end.

At Hartmut's suggestion, Rozemyne decides to involve the archducal retainers for preparation of rejuvenation potions and magic tools. While in her hidden room, Rozemyne discovers the name stone of Quinta. With the assistance of Hartmut, Clarissa, and Lieseleta, Rozemyne creates three new combat ready shumils using Adrett—a library shumil created by Hirschur and Ferdinand during the last term—as a reference.

What new developments do you predict will occur this week?

Seems like there's not much room left in this book for anything major, so maybe just a preliminary scare - like a scout for Georgine getting caught at a gate? Or maybe we get into things and it leaves off on a cliffhanger? Maybe there will be additional side stories this volume since there's plenty of space to cover with the time skip.

Well Roz already made terminators in the last prepub. I vote she makes Skynet next.

Unless this will transition into a battle with a cliffhanger, we're probably going to see a series of goodbyes, maybe some tearful ones, since they have to expect that once Rozemyne departs to the archduke conference, she won't even have the chance to return in person for quite a while.

Because with how vital she and her Grutrissheit is to the very survival of the country by now, I have a feeling the royal family will not easily allow her to travel back home.
