As expected, today's episode was the "Taking Wilfried Down A Peg" episode where they fused both the Wilfried's side story and the 3 or so chapters.
Unfortunately, Myne pointing out that Wilfried is indeed inferior to even the orphans and the reason why was left out. As was Florentia's usage of Sylvester's escapades in Lower City to drive in the point. Overall, not a bad episode.
(A pity we did not see Rosina destroying Wilfried in Music but we can't have everything can we?) -
Loved watching Rihyarda dress down Wilfried's attendants.
Rozemyne's brief evil expression when saying "unfair" to Wilfried while offering him to swap for another three days was perfect.

I loved how the Post-Credit chibi wonderfully captured a Manga SS
. I guess it will be translated with the manga currently in pre-pub.

I loved the blink-and-you-miss it glimpse of Sylvester's reaction to Rozemyne's suggestions at (About 18:25 in).

So "archduke candidate" has been translated as "succession candidate". This works for me.
If it came to a choice between incompetent Wilfried as Archduke, or Ferdinand leading a coup to replace him, he'd choose the coup, wouldn't he? He did promise his father to protect Ehrenfest. (I expect he'd try to get someone other than himself to be archduke, however.)
And my inevitable architecture criticism: The wall between the noble's district and the temple grounds has crenellations. But there is no walkway behind the merlons, so it is quite pointless. Similarly, there is no pedestrian access to the gatehouse roof, although I suppose one could fly a highbeast to get there. The gatehouse roof is flat, which works badly in a snowy climate.
Both Karstedt's estate and the temple have so many stairs you have to climb to reach the main entrance.

He would choose to train florencia's other children and still can keep the promise to his father. That's what he says in the LN
