Detlinde

Detlinde (ディートリンデ, Diitorinde) is the daughter of Aub Ahrensbach and Georgine, and Sylvester's niece.

While Detlinde grew up her mother was the Aub's third wife. Upon the death of the first wife, Georgine became the new first wife.

From the first meeting she has shown open disdain for Rozemyne. She ignores Rozemyne and speaks to Wilfred addressing him as cousin.

The only time she deigned to respond to Rozemyne at all was when she invited Wilfried to a tea party under the pretext that he was her cousin and Rozemyne trying to join to be there to protect her brother. Even then she only spoke to reject Rozemyne by pointing out that she did not consider her as her cousin.

When her other cousin from Frenbeltag Rudiger inquired if he could join, since he was her cousin too, she agreed after some hesitation, though her vindictive smile toward Rozemyne made it appear she only agreed to spite Rozemyne.

Spoiler from Part 4 Volume 3 At the tea-party she very aggressively grilled Wilfried about how Ehrenfest managed to so drastically raise their grades in such a short time, why Lamprecht's marriage was denied and whether Wilfried was already engaged.

At a tea-party that Ehrenfest held for all other duchies Detlinde futher tried to undermine Rozemyne, but with little success. When she exposed that Rozemyne had been raised in the temple and that her absence from the academy was for the purpose of conducting religious ceremonies, Rozemyne with support from Wilfried and Rudiger managed to instead gain sympathy for having to perform such tasks and the less powerful duchies in general.

Later at the same party, Detlinde tried to get a jar of rinsham, while at the same time painting herself as a victim. This attempt failed when Eglantine pointed out how rude Detlindes behaviour toward Rozemyne had been the entire time. Since Eglantine is from an even higher ranking duchy, Detlinde couldn't refute this and instead try to appeal to Rozemyne on account of being family. When called out by Rozemyne for very definitively stating to her face that Detlinde did not consider her family, Detilne claimed this had all been a misunderstanding. At Gudrun's urging Rozemyne accepted this obvious lie and graciously gave her cousin a jar of rinsham, satisfied with Detlinde basically having stated that they were indeed related in front of representatives of the entire country.


 * After Rozemyne revived Schwartz and Weiss, Professor Solange remarked that a "Lady from Ahrensbach" inquired rather insistently how to became the new master of the magic tools. While it is not confirmed, it is highly likely this was Detlinde, planning to take the shumils away from Rozemyne.
