@mufloon I was debating doing 'best boy' and 'best man' polls next week, and then going on to a general 'best person' poll made up of winners and runners up. If I do go through with that, Fraularm actually has a chance of qualifying as a runner up... Not something I would have predicted before the poll!

@15Redstones I'm sure she can use her own imagination well enough.... She knows what flower offerings are. Despite that, no bloody carnival.
I mean, sure, now that they're under her care for certain she'd enact bloody vengeance if something happened to them, but she doesn't care about what might have been, and she's already decided she doesn't care about other orphans outside of her care.
She's pragmatic and morally flexible. If it's outside of her power to prevent, or would compromise her survival or that of those she cares about, it's "out of sight and out of mind"

@83drew Well, you asked for it - and I had half an hour with nothing better to do - so here's the Year 3 Best Woman poll!

@15Redstones My thought would be the backup HB Bible system activates when there is no true Zent after x amount of time for whatever reason. This is where the occasional Zent from the dutchies comes from.

@Geezer-Weasalopes I can see what you are saying. There is a possibility. But it comes back to the not enough information yet.

Well, this poll looks more interesting than Hannelore's runaway lead in Part One! Lueuradi in first, and Clarissa, Charlotte, and Brunhilde all tied in second, just one vote between them...

Given that Charlotte took second place in Year 2 (a long way ahead of third place Leonore), it seems a little odd that she's behind a newcomer (and tied with someone that got 0 last time around), while our old bronze medallist hasn't attracted a single vote!

Still, I can kinda understand it. Charlotte and Leonore seemed to get hit by a lot of 'out of focus' this year. Meanwhile, Lueuradi got two POV chapters full of her love of romance books, Clarissa got several funny cameos, and Brunhilde took to the field for the annual ditter!

Nunca habia leido un Fic así, quizás al traducirlo de ingles a español algunas ideas son ambiguas, o se confunden, pero realmente sentí todo lo que escribiste y llore, llore mucho

Gracias por tu hermosa escritura

“The aub called for me and said that, once matters settled down, he would introduce me to the third prince.
He granted me permission to mourn Prince Waldifrid and spend my days quietly cleaning his villa while the first and third princes fought.”

「情勢が落ち着いたらワルディフリード様の同母弟である第三王子に紹介してくださる、とアウブが声をかけてくださったのです。

第一王子と第三王子が争う間、ワルディフリード様を弔い、離宮を片付けながら静かに過ごす許可をいただきました」

The highlighted part of the original text is missing from the translation, which adds critical information that "Prince Waldifrid and third prince are brothers from the same mother".

@Zeteni maybe alt text?

@Galois Do keep in mind that the majority of commoners are medal registered, such that the archducal family could, if they so desired, wipe out entire cities if they so desired.

In addition to which, the devouring soldiers are even more susceptible to remote controlled termination, since the holder of their enslavement contract can kill them, not just a member of the archducal family.

@Mionikoi said in The Memory Reading Tool:

@DaveHowe I think I recall hearing (Trash Tier Waifu) that dead nobles become feystones. Maybe it is at a certain point of time or during body decomposition. But I think this is also mentioned in the fanbook discussing the magic tool Felien(sp?) Bought back through Rozemyne as a heirloom. The feystone was from her mother.

FB3 -

The body disappears after the funeral, when the blue priests take the person’s feystone. Only their belongings and their feystone get buried—although the person’s feystone is sometimes used instead.

That made me think of Frau Blücher [queue sound of neighing horses].

@Awwkaw yep. Tuuli at end of the summer, Freida at the end of the next winter (after RA year 4), then immediately followed by Kamil's baptism at the beginning of spring. Then the end of next summer Lutz.
It's possible that there'll be another opportunity to bless Tuuli and Lutz the year after that, which is planned to be Rozemyne's final year as HB.

@Axehand said in about the bible:

@DaveHowe If you want to go down that road, the Gutenberg Bible was in Greek and Latin during a time when translation was very much in flux. If you assume that Urano was aware of the history, then you have to assume she was aware of all the history. And there are a great many different, wildly diverging versions of the text. Quite a few people got murdered over that.

And yet, that is ALSO what we see ,hence Myne making differential records of what is or isn't in a given release of the Bible, and translating it from the ancient text form to modern child-friendly books....

But this gets into religion, which will and has caused butt-hurt even within this forum, so no point in going further.

Not wrong, but I think we can abstract this away from which school of religious belief a given bible belongs to, to the important place the Gutenberg Bible plays in printing history. That avoids us having to place any weight on Urano's own religious beliefs (or lack of them)

Thank you

Having actually read Goethe’s Faust in undergrad, wherein the arrangement between Faust and the devil is actually not a deal but a wager (the devil takes them on a journey and provides Faust with all manner of temptations, and if Faust ever says he is satisfied then his soul is forfeit)…that actually kind of tracks; Rozemyne keeps moving forward because she is not satisfied, she must have more books, more things that improve the world around her, hell she became the orphanage director because she was unsatisfied with the way the orphans were treated
