Heidemarie

Heidemarie (ハイデマリー, Haidemarii) was an archnoble of Ehrenfest. She was Eckhart's first wife, but she passed away shortly before the series began.

Heidemarie was raised as a noble in Ehrenfest and graduated from the Royal Academy.

Spoiler from Part 4 Volume 6 She was a scholar and like her future husband worked as Ferdinand's retainer. She often assisted him in brewing and according to Justus was as devoted to her master as Eckhart.

She and Eckhart married after his graduation. They were together for only a very short time, since Heidemarie died suddenly before Ferdinand entered the temple, but they shared a close bond. The couple had no children.

Still mourning Heidemarie's death, Eckhart has been reluctant to remarry. While he eventually agrees to an engagement with Angelica, his reasoning is primarily that her lack of interest in romance will allow both of them to put off the marriage as long as possible while continuing to serve their respective masters, Ferdinand and Rozemyne.


 * The book Justus purchases from a lower city merchant after investigating Myne in Part 3 Volume 2 originally belonged to Heidemarie's family.
