The most important lessons are often the most harsh.

Finally being outright confrontational, Ferdinand is doing Wilfried more of a service than most of Wilfried’s servants have his entire life.

I think it’s pretty clear at least now Wilfried has some enthusiasm to improve seeing how far behind he is outside of his own bubble and feeling embarrassed about it, but Ferdinand driving the nail home here to ensure he doesn’t relapse is still heavily needed.

 

[bicyclebastard]

this was the first draft of that panel but i figured i have to stay true to the material rather than embellishing, even if it feels better.

For anyone wondering what's happening to Lampreht that's the crushing the same thing Myne did to the previous high bishop when they first met.(Just to a much less lethal degree)

 

[kaminomikan]

wake-up call, let's hope it doesn't fall in deaf ears...

 

[Banesephy]

Ferdinand's line was awesome. "I would rather raise your siblings and crush you with all my might. Remember that."

He's only being this openly hostile because of his bet with Rozemyne (his role is to instill the actual sense of crisis to Wil, the bad cop/stick while Rozemyne's new education plan that revolve about encouraging him/rewarding any small progress is the good cop/carrot)
Even his warning to Sylvester earlier was for Sylvester and not because he give a shit about Wilfried.

Especially with context from the extra.

To add, crushing only really work on someone weaker than you, so crushing someone instead of using 'normal' magic (like the light band he used on Wil) is basically that much of exerting dominance move.

Who was lady Veronica? And what that mean that she is gone?

Who was lady Veronica? And what that mean that she is gone?

His grandma i think, someone said in a previous chapter that his dad was a mommy's boy and let his mother in charge of the education instead of his wife which proceeded to fill him with stupid pride and barely any education, i think they sent her to the old folks home (some mansion in the countryside) to cut her influence on the kid it's why he's surprised since she pampered him and probably was the one threatening tutor/attendant when they tried to "force" him to study.

 

[Seideliot]

Who was lady Veronica? And what that mean that she is gone?

Veronica is Sylvester's mother, the one was mentioned as having taken care of Will's education.

Veronica's brother was the old fat Bishop who almost kill Myne.

After that case, Sylvester had her arrested (she helped her brother).

That's why "she is gone", she has no more authority, will not spoil Will anymore and Ferdinand will not have to stand her again (he hates he as she did bully him for not being a legitime child).

 

[Hicleric]

I was looking forward to Ferdinand's stern face, and boy howdy he did not disappoint

Empathy for the disciplined? Zero

 

[brjoaoed]

How can Wilfried not understand it ? Ferdinand is showing him that a "Lord's Authority" means nothing if one lacks political power or physical one, and it is as Ferdinand tried to imply here.

If he grows up to be spoiled and incompetent, the people who are in dire need of an actual Lord will just "remove" him out of his Lord chair so the more capable lineage may succed the position, that means he can be poisoned or stabbed make it look like an accident at any time if he show any weakness, however instead of being murdered by the ones of an outside faction, he may be murdered by his own faction and key servants instead.

Ferdinand's line was awesome. "I would rather raise your siblings and crush you with all my might. Remember that."

If an adult had said that to me when I was 8 years old, I would have been traumatized to the point of secluding myself for life. It's one thing to be honest with him (completely necessary) or punish his attendant (harsh, but a long time coming)... and another to openly threatening a small boy with "crushing" him.

Myne said that it was better if Wilfred ended up being terrified of Ferdinand than disgraced... but this is going to be a something that scars him for life and will make any future interaction with Ferdinand very difficult for him.

At the level of education he was at being traumatized by the local scary person would be the least of his problem if he fails to reach the (barely) passing mark by winter debut.

Because at the debut, no amount of authority can cover his ass if he fucks it up.
Best case scenario he's disinherited, become a blue...oh wait that's directly under Ferdinand...

Who was lady Veronica? And what that mean that she is gone?

Lady Veronica is the wife of the previous lord Archduke and is Lord Sylvesters mother making her Wilfred's grandmother. She hated Ferdinand because he was born from a concubine of the late Lords.

This is why Veronica is gone: When the Head Preist (Veronica's brother) was executed for treason (aiding a foreigner to infiltrate the city when it was closed off by the Lord and the attempted kidnapping and attack on the adopted daughter of the Lord Archduke (Myne)) all of his grey robed attendants and guards were executed. During medieval times it was common practice when someone was executed as the result of treason up to three generations (i.e. for the head priest this would include his parents, his siblings (we know Veronica is his sister), and their children) would have been executed. Lord Sylvester, his wife, and his children would have been spared because he is the lord of the city who was being betrayed.

Ferdinand is no relation to Veronica which is why he was spared since he is the brother to Sylvester.

Since I mentioned the noble, his guards, and attendants who infiltrated the city, attacked, and tried to kidnap Myne with the aid of the High Priest would most they would definitely have been executed and it reported to the lord of his domain why they had been executed. The execution of this noble had the potential to start a war if what was reported to the lord of his territory did not believe Lord Sylvester. This noble would have most probably been executed by his own lord if he were released in the custody of his home territory, due to trying to incite a war (i.e. attacking the daughter of another lord's territory).

Thanks for the translation

Trauma can be overcome, it can even be defeated.
Regaining the position at the top is a lot harder than overcoming the trauma.
So I think the good of traumatizing is worth it if it means keeping the position at the top (the heir position).
Then again that's all predicated on that without the trauma he'd lose the position at the top.

The two lines before that threat are very important:
"I absolutely refuse to serve someone as lazy, spoiled and entirely incapable as you. If you were to assume the position of archduke as you are now,"
it lists his flaws clearly and that those flaws are the condition for future action on that threat, making it very avoidable without guesswork on what he'd have to do. (if he doesn't choose the stealth by removing everyone who could spot you route)
