Letizia (レティーツィア, Retiitsia) was an archduke candidate from Ahrensbach. She is biologically the granddaughter and adopted daughter of Gieselfried, the former Aub Ahrensbach, and was the successor of the title of Aub Ahrensbach.[3]
She is intended to be adopted by Rozemyne and Ferdinand, once they are married. Letizia kept her designation as an archduke candidate from Alexandria as Rozemyne is recognized as its archduchess. Though, not the certain successor, as she was in Ahrensbach.[4]
Appearance
According to Rozemyne, Letizia is "a very cute girl with blonde hair and blue eyes".
History
Letizia, coming from the lineage of Aub Ahrensbach, was born in Drewanchel as the daughter of one of Aub Ahrensbach's daughters who had entered the duchy due to her matrimony.[5] Following the unfortunate demise of her uncle Wolfram, strategic negotiations ensued between Aub Ahrensbach and Drewanchel. Eventually, a successful arrangement was reached, leading to the adoption of Letizia back into the folds of Aub Ahrensbach's duchy. This strategic move was orchestrated with the foresight of designating Letizia as the rightful heir and successor to Aub Ahrensbach's legacy.[3]
Story
Part 4 Volume 8
To compensate his former ally for the damage the purge has done to his duchy, Zent Trauerqual agreed to marry his son Hildebrand to Aub Ahrensbach's granddaughter and heir once she ascends to the position of archduchess. To this end the engagement of Letizia and Hildebrand has already been officially announced, which is exceptionally early for such an announcement. Hildebrand only had his official debut in the very same archduke conference and Letizia isn't even old enough to attend the academy yet.[2]
Part 5 Volume 12
Letizia will kept her designation as an archduke candidate of Alexandria as Rozemyne will be recognized as its archduchess. However, as the royal decree states that she is to become the next Aub Ahrensbach, and as the duchy no longer exists, she is not the certain successor.[4]
Hannelore's Fifth Year at the Royal Academy
Despite Ahrensbach no longer existing and former Aub Ahrensbach, Gieselfried, with whom the agreement had been made, having climbed the towering staircase, the royal decree promising an engagement between now former Prince Hildebrand and Letizia still stands. The only thing that changed is, that Letizia will be marrying into Hildebrand's duchy, Blumenfeld, rather than him coming to Alexandria.[6]

Trivia
- Letizia means "joy" in Italian.
- The English translation of Part 4 Volume 8 states in chapter 14: Decisions that Letizia is "Aub Drewanchel’s daughter". This is a mistranslation, since the original Japanese novel states her as the "granddaughter from Drewanchel" in the same place.
