    One thing I’m surprised about is, that Rozemyne didn’t even seem to register that the Royal Family essentially offers her free access at all times to both the Royal Palace and Royal Academy libraries, the two biggest libraries in the entire country! How comes she complains about not being given a book room, when they give her all-year, everyday access to literally thousands of books, far more than could ever fit into any bookroom or even Ferdinand’s estate?

    When the series started, she was all about reading, not owning books, both on Earth and Yurgenschmidt. Why did that change now to her needing to own books?

      I think perhaps she’s concerned that she won’t actually have that access. Nor did Sigiswald really address her concern that way, as he might have with a grand gesture that exhibited his awareness of the importance to her.

      Hilarious that other lower-ranked nobles would happily meet this for her and yet Sigiswald considers it beyond his power.

        You can’t really say that lower ranking duches would happily make this happen for her.

        Both Wilfried and Lestilaut were able to offer bookrooms to Rozemyne, because they already have existing bookrooms, which they would just give control of to her. Bookrooms that have grown over the course of decades in Ehrenfest’s case and literal centuries in case of Dunkelfelger.

        Sigiswald on the other hand does not have a bookroom and thus would need to make one from the ground up, which is something that nobody outside the royal family would be able to afford, or be willing to do either. The other two just happened to be in a more fotunate starting position in this single aspect.
