    “Cordula… might I be as blind to the feelings of men as Lady Rozemyne?”

    No, at least you are aware of your shortcomings unlike Our Gremlin.

    “Not only did you fail to consider matters thoroughly, but your timing was also rather poor…” Cordula went on. “Or perhaps it was excellent. […]"

    I hope the finale will be Rube Goldberg machine of perfect timings.

    “To think my greatest rival in love would end up being Lady Rozemyne…”

    He didn’t have any chances from the very start

      I kinda wonder how much the gods are messing with Hanelore since praying to Jungereise and the hairpin delivery outcome seem to convient.

      Then again I’m not sure of the scope of the gods to view stuff in real time.

        On one hand they are in the Royal Academy, which used to be called the Land of the Gods in the past.

        On the other, Hannelore didn’t seem to have put any mana into her prayers, so they should have had only a minimal effect, if any at all.

        Maybe her suiters have nothing at all to do with the gods. Kenntrips and Rasantark have been fond of her since she entered the Royal Academy, Raufereg is more interested in opening up his own chance to play ditter against Rozemyne than any genuine romantic feelings. Which leaves only Ortwin, but with them being in the same grade and course, not to mention a good political match, it wouldn’t be that surprising if he had developed feelings for her since before she started praying, but just managed to keep them hidden until now.
