    Summary

    Even when they took tea, rarer these days than ever, Hubert appeared utterly determined not to let Ferdinand see anything more than he already had. Frankly, Ferdinand wasn’t sure what else he could possibly dredge up from those impossibly inky depths that was worse than the oil slick he’d lived alongside for the past six years, but one didn’t catch a Fodlandy without patience and bait aplenty.


    Six months after the end of the war, they all have their coping mechanisms. The Emperor tends to her garden, Ferdinand to his stables, and Hubert to his duties. It would all work perfectly, if Ferdinand could simply keep the oven door shut.

    Summary

    "Dorothea, did I love him?"

    The woman freezes, nearly dropping the apple she'd been peeling for him. She looks as if Ferdinand has just asked her to stab him. "Ferdie-"

    "Tell me. Please." He needs to know.

    Dorothea sighs, suddenly looking older and far more tired. "You did. Very much so."

    Summary

    Ferdinand was a general. In theory. Edelgard had promised him continued command of his battalion, and a general needed a certain measure of wealth to supply his horses, his servants, his armor and rations and lodgings and, she’d promised.

    But his father sat rotting in a cell, or worse, and it could be nothing more than a fable they thought him simple enough to believe. What did promises matter?


    When the house of Aegir collapses around him, Ferdinand struggles to forge a path forward. He quickly discovers he can't manage it alone -- and neither, perhaps, can Edelgard.

    Summary

    Hilda continued to stare. Her mouth opening and closing before settling on “Lorenz, they’re getting married.” She said it slowly.
    “Yes dear, we’re all well aware. The question is to whom.”
    "…together”.
    Lorenz flared in indignation. “I know that.” Does she think me so simple that I would not listen properly to my own friend’s nuptial announcement!
    “…to each other…"
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Ferdinand (and Hubert) invite Lorenz to their wedding. Meanwhile Holst has been attempting to court Lorenz. Lorenz is clueless. Hilda is exhausted.
