Desc: Hannelore, just married. Has her bad timing struck again. (Last EP)

“Excuse me, I have research I wish to finish.” Duke Ferdinand said to Hannelore and Rozemyne. Then he turned his back and left.

Most people would have considered his response extremely rude. After all, he had #just married Hannelore of Dunkelfelger, but Rozemyne, his first wife, was used to it, and Hannelore knew the wedding had only been to please Rozemyne.

“Don’t let it worry you,” Aub Rozemyne said. “He’s like that—Shall I show you the library?”

Hannelore blinked. They had barely returned from their wedding, and neither of them was acting like it was a big deal. Surely Rozemyne at least would be clingy and mushy; after all, she’d been the one sending romantic gifts. “Could I have been wrong about the whole thing? Was it just a political match? What about love and romance? It’s my cursed timing again, isn’ it!”

“No, that’s the old me,” she thought. “But I’m not ‘Cry Baby Hanne’ anymore. This is my reality, and I’m going to make the best of it. If she doesn’t love me, I’ll pin her down and do quests until she does!”

“Sure, I would love that,” she said.

“Great, Book Wives Forever!” Rozemyne pumped her fist and led the way.

The Aub waved to a servant to take the food away. “Send my daughter in.”

Hannelore soon appeared, apprehension etched into every line of her face. But unlike when she was younger, there was no sign of her wilting. She was prepared for whatever her parents had to tell her.

Her father waved to a seat, and when his daughter complied, he said, “It’s settled. You are to be Duke Ferdinand’s second wife. It’s slightly beneath your station, but a good match nonetheless. It will bring our two duchies closer and ensure preferred access to Rozemyne's innovations. A good marriage is the #lynchpin of long-term diplomacy.”

The tension in Hannelore’s face eased. “I welcome Versprechredi's blessing. At last my timing has been good.”

“Indeed, the goddess has blessed you,” her mother said. “We were worried you would settle for a loveless marriage. Kenntrips and Rasantark are fine men, but you were never taken with them in that way. I am overjoyed that you have found a useful and loving match. It's a surprising and somewhat unusual arrangement, but Rozemyne is an unusual woman. Take care to stay in her favor; you can expect only what duty demands from Ferdinand.”

“It surprised me as well, but I think I can be happy with Rozemyne,” Hannelore replied.

“Good, good.” The duke rejoined the discussion. “Ferdinand sent engagement presents.”

The girl looked at the books her father had passed her. A wry expression came to her face as she read the titles: “The History of Ahrensbach,” “Ahrensbach Legal Codex,” and a new volume called “The Legislative Decrees of Aub Rozemyne.”

The Aub coughed. “He said they would be useful to you since you’ll be living in Alexandria soon.”

“The man doesn’t have a romantic bone in his body,” Sieglinde said. “But Rozemyne sent this,” passing her daughter a manuscript titled “The Romance of Vegalinde and Altairhart.” “She said you would be the very first person to read it.”

“Don’t forget the other present,” Werdekrf added. “It's much better than those old books. It will look wonderful on you.” If anyone had doubted his feelings towards his daughter, his fond smile revealed his deeper feelings.

The item he handed her was a headdress featuring a new design of tiny lace edelweiss intertwined with cornflowers. Its net-like cap was set with pearls, and a dyed silk train flowed down the back.

Her mother looked from the hairpiece to her daughter. She too had a soft smile. “It will look lovely at your wedding. You'll be quite the trendsetter.”

“Dither, dither, dither!” Sieglinde's words echoed in the private dining chamber where she sat with her husband. Taking a deep breath, she swallowed her next words. “Are you an idiot?!”

Werdekrf wilted in his chair, his dinner half consumed. His wife had held back the whole time the Archduke’s Conference was underway. But her cold fury had been evident. Now that they were home, it looked like she was going to let loose.

The Aub was pleased when she continued in a more reasonable tone. “We’re lucky Duke Ferdinand didn’t walk out on us. You know his views on dither.” Sarcasm crept into her voice as she imitated her husband’s voice and words. “‘We really can’t consent unless there is a wedding dither match.’ Would you make Hannelore Eifersuneid’s daughter?” (The goddess had unrequited feelings for Chaocipher, the goddess of chaos.)

“It seemed an excellent opportunity, and I gave it up as soon as he resisted.” The Aub pushed away his food and pretended to study the tapestry depicting a dither match.

“What if he had taken offense? The #Sovereignty had approved the proposed engagement. The Zent wouldn’t have been pleased if this match had fallen through. More importantly, Hannelore is excited. Just think how it would affect her if she were thrown over a second time. Has Jugereise not visited her enough?” (Goddess of Separation, associated with lost love and separation.)

“You are right, of course. Sometimes you win dither by playing the long game. Hannelore can teach them the love of the game once she is there.”

Sieglinde rolled her eyes but said no more. Arguing with her dither-crazed husband was futile.

After the greetings, Eglantine’s maid sampled the food and drink to assure everyone that nothing had been poisoned. Tea and snacks were soon in hand, and the Zent began: “I hope you will pardon Schutzaria’s hand in our affairs, but swift winds are required to obtain Gebordnung’s blessings.”

Rozemyne knit her brow as she #puzzled out the meaning: “Pardon the sudden summons, but it is necessary to maintain order.” Even though she was used to it, she still wished nobles would speak clearly rather than masking everything behind metaphors.

Eglantine continued, “I understand, Duke Ferdinand, you will seek Versprechredi’s blessings. This comes as a surprise and has stirred up the other duchies, especially Korinthsdaum where Eifersuneid whispers council. So, to avoid Chaocipher attendance this year, I would ask if this is true.”

Rozemyne decoded the message again. Understanding what Versprechredi’s blessing meant was easy; Duke Ferdinand would seek a wife. Next, Eifersuneid was the god of jealousy and whispered in Sigiswald, ruler of Korinthsdaum’s ear. No surprise there. Finally, Chaocipher was the goddess of chaos, which meant Eglantine wanted to avoid the council descending into disarray.

Ferdinand put down his tea with a slight clink, showing his irritation, but spoke calmly. “My wife, the Aub, has expressed a wish to cement our relations with Dunkelfelger by making Lady Hannelore my second wife. Her friendship with Rozemyne leads me to believe it would be a good match. The Aub has been handling all the arrangements. We have exchanged gifts, and I received the following.” He laid the handkerchief embroidered with intertwining cornflowers and edelweiss on the table. “We didn’t think we needed to consult with the Sovereignty first, but I assume we have your approval, Zent.”

Eglantine didn’t react to the jab or the slight inflection on her title. Instead, she looked at Rozemyne. “I didn’t realize. I knew you were friends, but without Schicksantracht, I had not foreseen Versprechredi.”

She turned back to Ferdinand and said, “You have my blessing, of course. I will make sure the other duchies know you have my approval. Have you formally spoken to Hannelore’s parents yet?”

“That’s next,” he replied.

#Wss366 Friend / International Friendship Day

Zent Eglantine’s chief scholar, Roswitha, greeted Alexandria’s arriving rulers. If the pair hadn’t been expecting her, they would have been stunned by the arrogance of the “invitation” she offered. As it was, Ferdinand frowned throughout Roswitha’s speech. They weren't even being allowed to settle in before being rushed off to meet the Zent.

Rozemyne recalled Ferdinand’s thoughts when they were first informed that an invitation was pending: “This is just what I was afraid of. Give a person the crown, and they will begin to throw their weight around. Be prepared, if she tries to bully us, I’ll flatten her.”

Rozemyne replied, “Eglantine is a #friend. She’ll have a good explanation for this.”

“She had better. You would be advised to remember that friendship has no place in royal politics. Nor should it in inter-duchy relations. Her job is to ensure the welfare of the Sovereignty and Yurgenschmidt. Ours is to look after the interests of Alexandria. Please remember that.”

Rozemyne nodded. Any other response would have precipitated a full-on scolding.

That conversation had taken place in Alexandria, but now they were at the Royal Academy for the Archduke Conference, faced with a “tea party.” She always dreaded these gatherings, and this one sounded worse than usual with Ferdinand in a bad mood and some serious, unknown business at hand.

Fortunately, Roswitha gave Rozemyne little time to worry, instead leading them straight to a meeting room richly decorated in the current Sovereignty style. Thick tapestries covered the walls illustrating various religious scenes. A centuries-old oak table lay in the center of the room, surrounded by chairs with luxurious cushions. A selection of tea and treats was laid out, including old-fashioned, heavy, sugary pastries, as well as many of Aub Rozemyne’s lighter creations.

Under other circumstances, Rozemyne would have been delighted to see the Zent display her goods, but not today. This wasn’t a friendly social tea, but something serious.

“Would you be in a good mood?” Rozemyne asked Ferdinand.

It was a fair question, considering the dark circles under his eyes. He had spent the last three days in his private study. The duke met the question with a skeptical look as he took in the baked goods and an #arabesque tea-set on the table.

“I’m not in the mood for taste-testing. Ask a courtier; they’ll be happy to help,” was his reply.

“No, that’s not it. Hannelore sent these: rose-scented tea and cookies that their chief invented. They’re nice, like lemon drops. It’s like a White Day gift.”

Rozemyne’s voice trailed off. Her husband was smiling, and it sent a shiver through her. She recognized that expression. It was the smile of someone about to order the drowning of a litter of kittens.

His voice was as chilly as his smile, “I’m tired; we’ll talk later in your private room.”

Rozemyne frowned. Private discussions were never good, but later was better than now.

“She sent you a present too,” Rozemyne ventured, producing a white handkerchief. “She even embroidered it with cute cornflowers entwined with edelweiss.”

The duke sank into a chair, gulping a cup of tea, notwithstanding its temperature.

“Rozemyne, is this what you want?”

“No, it’s for you.”

“Rozemyne! Are you a total idiot!? They mistook your gifts for a marriage proposal. I knew they would. Since Hannelore can’t marry you, they assume you intend for her to become my second wife.”

“What? A marriage proposal?” the aub looked stunned.

“It’s obvious that at the next Council of Aubs, Dunkelfelger will approach me about this. If you wish to bring Hannelore here to be part of our family, I’ll agree. It wouldn’t hurt to have a stronger alliance with them. But if I accept, she becomes your responsibility. I have no interest in a second wife.”

Ferdinand rose. “Think about it. I will get your answer later.”

Rozemyne watched him leave. “Marry Hannelore? My book-buddy? Like in one of those yuri romances from my former life? Humm…”

Rozemyne was relieved that Ferdinand wasn’t in his lab. She had hinted that she would like to see him today, but Ferdinand was Ferdinand and work and research always came first with him. Today he joined her for the first meal of the day.

“You wanted to see me,” he said. He poured himself some tea, but said nothing more.

“It’s Star-Cross Day,” Rozemyne said.

A look of irritation flickered for an instant on her husband’s face, but was gone by the time he said, “Is it? I hadn’t noticed.”

The aub pushed a red box elaborately decorated with shimmering cut shells. “For you,” she said. Mild disappointment shadowed her face. She had been hoping he might remember and get her a book, but that would have never occurred to Ferdinand.

He sighed as irritation flickered across his face again. With one finger, he flipped open the box and looked inside. “At least they aren’t coach beetles,” he said. If Rozemyne had been expecting him to be excited, she was disappointed.

“Are you going to try them?” she asked.

He took a red, heart-shaped cookie and nibbled on it, nodded, and spoke. “Not bad. We should declare a monopoly on the sale of desert-heart leaves. I’m sure others can copy these, but if we control the prime ingredient, it will bring wealth to the duchy. And if handled correctly, we can smoke out some of the #graft in the provinces.”

He popped the rest of the cookie into his mouth, not letting a crumb fall on his outfit.

Rozemyne smiled.

The aub’s eyes gleamed as her husband took out yet another cookie. This was as good as it got in terms of receiving praise from Ferdinand.

“Who else did you give these to?” he asked.

“Just Hannelore,” she replied. Ferdinand froze mid-bite.

[Continued from previous post]

“Can’t I say I’m too busy?” Hannelore asked.

“I’ll tell her you only have a few moments to spare. We’re in a public place, and you’re rumored to be on excellent terms with her. Your retreat would give the other duchies a hint that there are problems between you. They will try to take advantage of it.”

“Very well.” If only this were an open battle on the Dither Field, Hannelore would know what to do. But the complexities of inter-duchy diplomacy were a minefield she didn’t enjoy. Still, it had to be done, and she put a brave face on as Sorrona approached and gave the expected fulsome greeting.

Finished with formalities, the Alexandrian woman presented Cordula with a red box. Scarlet ribbons decorated with carnelian gemstone tips adorned the present. The box and ribbons alone made a stunning present. “I hear Dregarnuhr, the Goddess of Time, has woven your threads exceptionally short today, but when you have time, please partake of the contents,” Sorrona said, curtsying.

“Thank you,” Hannelore said, keeping her smile on. “Aub Rozemyne is more than generous. Please pass to her and Duke Ferdinand the word that Dunkelfelger seeks the wisdom of Erwachlehren. We will in due time show our proper appreciation for Brennwaerme’s gifts.”

This response left Sorrona puzzled, though she would hardly dare say so. Why would Hannelore refer to Brennwaerme, the god of passion?

While she considered this, the Dunkelfelger noble glanced at Cordula and, receiving a nod of approval, rose and excused herself. “It seems Dregarnuhr, the Goddess of Time, has woven today’s threads with exceptional speed and grace.”

Once Hannelore was back in her chambers, Cordula commended her. “You did well. Your parents will be pleased with your diplomacy. If only you’d done as well in the past.”

“Is the box from Wilfried?” Hannelore asked. It was a slender hope since Sorrona and Rozemyne were from the Duchy of Alexandria, while Wilfried remained in Ehrenfest. But perhaps Rozemyne was acting on her brother’s behalf.

Cordula inspected the box, and finding it safe, passed it to her charge. Inside were light-red heart-shaped cookies. Each one had a “desert-heart” leaf pressed into its surface.

“I think not,” the head maid said, crushing Hannelore’s hopes. “It’s from Aub Rozemyne, my lady. I fear you must make your feelings clear to your parents about a match with Ferdinand. The present we return must reflect the direction we wish to take. We can no longer ignore their overtures. A romantic present on Star-Cross Day can only mean one thing.”

“Can’t I say I’m too busy?” Hannelore asked.

“I’ll tell her you only have a few moments to spare. We’re in a public place, and you’re rumored to be on excellent terms with her. Your retreat would give the other duchies a hint that there are problems between you. They will try to take advantage of it.”

“Very well.” If only this were an open battle on the Dither Field, Hannelore would know what to do. But the complexities of inter-duchy diplomacy were a minefield she didn’t enjoy. Still, it had to be done, and she put a brave face on as Sorrona approached and gave the expected fulsome greeting.

Finished with formalities, the Alexandrian woman presented Cordula with a red box. Scarlet ribbons decorated with carnelian gemstone tips adorned the present. The box and ribbons alone made a stunning present. “I hear Dregarnuhr, the Goddess of Time, has woven your threads exceptionally short today, but when you have time, please partake of the contents,” Sorrona said, curtsying.

“Thank you,” Hannelore said, keeping her smile on. “Aub Rozemyne is more than generous. Please pass to her and Duke Ferdinand the word that Dunkelfelger seeks the wisdom of Erwachlehren. We will in due time show our proper appreciation for Brennwaerme’s gifts.”

A faint shiver went through Hannelore as she arrived early in the commons. Perhaps it was a premonition of Rozemyne’s reformation of Star-Cross Day. Less superstitiously, it was that the Alexandrian’s area was busier than usual.

She’d been successful in dodging Sorrona, Rozemyne’s Alexandrian book buddy, for the last week on instructions from home. Further contact was undesirable until it was clear what Rozemyne and Ferdinand’s intentions were. Their gift of the Shumil book reader had opened a can of worms that Hannelore’s parents were desperately trying to deal with. What could it mean?

She glanced across the room again. The number of Alexandrians was a bad omen.

“What’s going on?” Hannelore fretted. Had her timing misfired again?

Elusia answered, “They are celebrating Star-Cross Day, an Alexandrian holiday. It has strange customs: the girls give the boys bugs. I hope no one sent live insects this year. There’re stories of them escaping and infecting the school.”

One of the celebrating students approached Cordula. Distracted by this, Hannelore replied vaguely. “Oh.” Dread flooded her being. She had definitely come to the commons at the wrong time. She should have #skipped coming here and eaten breakfast in the dorm.

A prediction proven true when her head maid returned, saying, “Lady Sorrona would like to approach.”

Anime Spoilers

Armed with a name, Rozemyne headed to the library, much to the dismay of her head maid. Rihyarda could have handled it, but Lieseleta lacked the experience and gravitas to control her mistress when she was fired up.

"Lady Carnelia!" Rozemyne shouted, bursting into the reading room the girl was using.

Lieseleta said, just loud enough for the Aub to hear, “At least give her a proper greeting.”

“Of course,” Rozemyne replied.

“May I pray for a blessing in appreciation of this serendipitous meeting, ordained by the harsh judgment of Ewigeliebe, Lady Carnelia?” Rozemyne rushed through her greeting.

“You may.” The lady in question spoke barely loud enough to be heard, trembling like a winter leaf, which wasn’t surprising, given that the Aub had addressed her so suddenly.

“I need something red, romantic, and heart-shaped,” Rozemyne said.

“You might want to explain a bit,” Lieseleta said. She was overstepping herself, but the poor woman Rozemyne was addressing looked on the verge of fainting in fright.

“Sorry, I want something to use with cookies for Star-Cross Day. Something other than those dreadful bugs! I don’t see how anyone could think coach beetles were romantic.”

Lady Carnelia stared, and then, as the word "romantic" sank in, she began thinking. Her brows furrowed, and then a smile touched her lips. “There's the 'desert heart.' They have red, heart-shaped leaves and a mild, pleasant flavor. Perhaps you’ve had tea made from them.”

Rozemyne’s eyes grew wide. “Oh, that lovely mint tea. I think we export it. That would be wonderful.”

Lieseleta was used to her mistress’s use of strange words, but Lady Carnelia looked puzzled at the word “mint.”

Blissfully unaware, the Aub said, “Mild, red, mint cookies with a heart-shaped leaf in their center. Perfect!”

Carried away, she rushed off to see the chef, leaving poor Lady Carnelia to recover in the now silent library.

“Cookies!” she exclaimed.

Indeed, cookies would be ideal for Star-Cross Day, Rozemyne reasoned. They were easy, and the recipe was widespread by now. It had to be different, though, and have the romance of Valentine’s Day.

Red heart-shaped sugar cookies came to mind, but her cookie recipes were widespread, and anyone could make heart-shaped ones. It had to be something special. Something that only bakers who bought the recipe from her could produce. Profits were important; there were so many books to buy.

Different. Romantic. Hard to duplicate.

“Hmm…”

Nothing came to mind.

“Help!” she muttered. “Who can I ask?”

She thought about the people she was close to, most of whom were in Ehrenfest or Dunkelfelger. Not only couldn’t she talk to them, but it would be unfair to ask them to work for the benefit of her duchy. As for her councilors, they were old folks without a romantic bone in their bodies. It would be better to consult an iron #rod than them. As for Ferdinand, she wanted to surprise him.

Wait, she knew! There was a woman who came to the library every day to read romances. What was her name?

“Carnelia!”

“Milburn, what are those?” she asked the chef.

“Those would be pickles, Your Grace. They’re for Star-Cross Day.”

He took down a jar without further instruction, something he would never have done for another noble, let alone the Aub. But Rozemyne was different. She was relaxed about etiquette and had an insatiable curiosity.

He opened the vessel, releasing the smell of vinegar, wine, and spices. Then he reached in extracting a large, flat, brown bug. “This is a coach beetle,” he said, showing it to her.

“Ughhh.” Her response was involuntary as revulsion swept over her. To her, it looked like a giant cockroach. It was definitely something that did not belong in the kitchen.

"Why would you eat that?" she asked, scrunching up her face.

“I suppose you wouldn’t know, Your Grace. Next week is a local holiday celebrating the twin stars #crossing the River of Light and uniting. You must know the legend of Vegalinde and Altairhart. It’s considered an auspicious day for proposals. It is said that if your partner eats one of these, they’ll never stop loving you. Young men make quite a show of swallowing them.”

Rozemyne’s first thought was,"Yuck! Why cockroaches?” Then, "Wait, Tanabata! A weaver and a herdsman separated by a celestial river? Has someone else from Japan visited Alexandria before me?”

The chef continued, “When these little devils mate, the male rides around on the female’s back for weeks. That’s how they got the name coach beetle. Some people believe that men who eat them will be as faithful as the beetles themselves.”

Rozemyne thanked him and departed. “I know one thing: I’m not giving Ferdinand one of those. Revolting!” she said to herself.

The thought of her subjects eating cockroaches wouldn't leave the Aub’s mind. "What a dreadful tradition! Star-Cross Day deserves better. It’s like a Tanabata and Valentine's hybrid. Giving chocolates or making wishes would make more sense than eating bugs!”

Her thoughts continued as she mulled over the problem, "Unfortunately, there isn’t anything similar to chocolate in this universe, but giving sweets to your love sounds just as nice. What could I create for women to give to their favorite person?”

"Mochi.”She’d just introduced that, but it was difficult to make, and the grain was expensive. Ferdinand said they should reserve it for nobles for the time being. Next, she thought of heart-shaped sugar candies. Clear, sparkly red hearts would be cute, but perfecting them would take time.

Note: This has appeared before but has been edited, revised, and expanded.

Rozemyne looked over the city and the sun setting in the desert beyond. The book she had been reading lay in front of her, along with the tea she had been enjoying. She sighed and looked at the letter from Hannelore she had received.

She sighed again. Even though it mentioned the Shumil reader she had given her, the tone was flat and contained metaphors she didn’t understand. There was no way she could get Ferdinand’s help interpreting it. He had been furious that she had given the magic item to her book-buddy. It would have been helpful if he had explained why, but he had told her to speak with her chief maid.

Sorona’s letter had been equally puzzling. Why would Hannelore be avoiding Sorrona? High Tea at The Royal Academy:

She put the letters away, using them as a bookmark in the book she was reading. Since she had used up the library time Ferdinand had allotted her, she would do the next best thing to take her mind off this mystery: Sample treats in the kitchen and share a new recipe with the chef!

When she had first started coming to the royal kitchens, the workers had nearly died of fright, and her husband had lectured her. But since she was now Aub, she could push social limits further, and it wasn’t long before people were used to her visits. She was even almost friends with the chef, Milburn.

Now that the staff knew she might visit any time, the kitchen was always spotless. Scullery maids scrubbed the marble-topped tables and blue and white tile floors until they shone. You could see yourself in the bottoms of copper-bottom pots that hung in rows. Using the cleansers Rozemyne had invented, the servants had scoured all traces of smoke from the row of ovens. It was a far cry from how she had found it right after the war.

Next to the library or her family’s home, the kitchen was one of her favorite places. It was a place of inspiration, where the sight of new things was sure to spark an idea. This time, it was a row of brown ceramic pots, each with two blue stars, that caught her attention.
