@KSul said in Hannelore Romance Outcomes V1 pt. 1:

Also, let me know if you'd prefer I keep adding polls to the end of this thread to prevent clogging the board with a bunch of polls, or if you'd prefer I make a new topic per poll to increase the visibility.

My recollection from what others have said is that you can only have a poll in the initial post for a topic.
Something to do with how the poll software is set up within the forum software.

[21%] “I should wish to learn from Lady Adolphine’s example,”

I think this might be meant to be “I should wish for her to learn from Lady Adolphine’s example,” as that would make more sense in the context.

[68%] Both had worn colors that accentuated their hair

"their" -> "each other's"

Rozemyne had a light blue clothes and Ferdinand had dark blue ones.

Sylvester: Flutrane the Goddess of Water’s pure streams have washed away Ewigeliebe the God of Life and rescued Geduldh the Goddess of Earth. Blessed be the melting of the snow!

Wilfried: We've got some big news.

Sylvester: Some very complicated things happened at the Royal Academy. Long story short, Lady Hannelore from Dunkelfelger the First is now engaged to Wilfried.

Leisegang: Why????

Sylvester: Something with Ditter. I'm not sure either but it's Dunkelfelger culture. We should probably learn some things from them.

Leisegang: Does that mean he'll be the next Aub?

Sylvester: No, we're still planning for Charlotte to inherit and him to be a Giebe. We'll combine Gerlach and Wiltord into one big province worthy of a wife of such high status and construct a new city of paper-making and printing. That will massively boost our industries.

Leisegang: A new city for a foreign wife? Don't you think this seems like a really bad idea?

Sylvester: I know it might cause some issues, but thing is, Lady Hannelore apparently told Rozemyne that she really loves Wilfried and now I really don't want to earn the wrath of Aub Alexandria by getting in the way of a love match that has her full support. We can't afford to worsen our relationship with our southern neighbour, now that the Ahrensbach crisis is finally over.

Leisegang: PTSD flashbacks intensify

As some might not have noticed (I almost didn't): Hannelore's side-story volume starts releasing next Myneday.

@Quof Thanks for your insight! I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts all through out the long translation.

Alright, picking this up again post-Christmas - next up is Manga P3V4!

First is Gunther's Unwavering Emotions. In the manga omnibus, this goes directly after Inspecting the Monastery. In the LN omnibus, it is set half way through Hasse's Monastery, so is getting placed after that.

Second is Lamprecht's From Tasty Food to Trouble. This ends the day after the Harspiel concert, placing it after The Harspiel Concert in the manga, and The Harspiel Concert in the LN. (The P3V1 Epilogue runs around the same time, but it ends a few days later than Lamprecht's POV does, so for once in his life, Lamprecht gets to be placed ahead of Lutz...)

Right there apparently.

Or with buckets of poo, but maybe it was the silver cloth keeping them from releasing their auras.

@Ingraman My "bookworm in 5 minutes" alarm went off, and I was sad. I would have taken the opportunity to post a Prepub has not just released message, except that I was in a supermarket at the time.

Where are your priorities?! :)

@Gamen said in Bookworm Part 5 Vol. 11 Discussion!:

If it was so shocking, perhaps that's reason to re-evaluate your assumptions? The question of whether you can really say Myne was being raised by Ferdinand or whether she was already a fully-formed ego aside, what he taught her was not how to be his ideal woman, but what she needed to survive without him in noble society as he had experienced it. His "ideal woman" if there is such a thing is the Myne that ignored what he tried to teach her and led an army to rescue him.

Yeah, the kind of woman he was training her to be is the Rozemyne without her memories, and he hated it.

Building on what both have said:

Ferdinand was providing Rozemyne survival skills.
To the extent he "shaped her" it was to give her the ability to survive in Noble Society.
How to navigate the twisted shoals of noble interactions without yielding more than you must.
Building upon the foundation laid by Benno.

He never considered her as a potential mate until late in the game, she was going to be tied to the ruling house (be it duchy or sovereignty.)
No thought of grooming her for himself.
No Hikari Genji stuff here, thank you very much.

Rozemyne choose otherwise. She exercised Free Will.
I'll concede that once she did chose by launching her "Operation: Saving Lord Ferdinand!" he took things beyond where she'd consciously intended, but if she's going to overthrow the established order society wide for his sake...that's a proposal, damnit!

@arghc
Oswald is also an archnoble with blood ties to the archducal family, so pulling rank wouldn't have worked.

Maybe he should have tried "my mother roped all of us siblings into participating in some kind of tea party", which would have made it sound like a simple family event?

In Letizia's story (Part 10 80-86%), I think the "verinur" flowers collected are supposed to be the same as the "wehrnoor" flowers that Ferdinand gives to Rozemyne in Part 5 Volume 5.

Also, it might make more sense to change honey-> nectar, unless the original Japanese is particularly explicit. It is a feyplant, so who knows.
