[H5Yv1] Alone?
I'm rereading before pre-pub of vol. 2 and Hannelore felt really lonely. No real friend in Ditterland. No direct conversation with her mother. No trust with her retainers. Even her head attendant Cordula is seen more like a patronizing figure than someone Hannelore could trust.
If we compare her to other ADC outside of RM:
-
Wilfried had a strong relationship with his grandma, had friends (even if distanced some due to the Ivory Tower incident) and trust with his retainers (even if it should have been less trustful). OK not that much left outside of his retainers.
-
Charlotte had a good relationship with her mother, RM and her retainers.
-
We've got less info on Melkior but he seems OK with his parents and retainers.
There is the rift created by the bride-stealing ditter and the fact that Hannelore tend to block some conversations but it seems that starting from her baptism she lived more or less alone.
What are you take on this?
