Yes the 'engagement' with Diet was made while the lord was not dead, the MOVING came after, rushed by his death.
And I don't know 'who' Ferdi used for temple work outside of himself, the only one mentioned to help out was Leticia.
The two years gap was also because they needed time to mind control all the royal family's knights to use for their coup among other setting up.
Georgene have an overly careful personality. She like to setup layers of traps until she's absolutely sure her plan won't fail no matter what.
Her plan ended up failing because she could never imagine someone like Maine would exist, who saw/hear the plan before it got executed (because of Diet), and INVADE Alensbach just to save Ferdi alone (recruiting Dunkel to her aids while at that)
But wait, she herself got into the foundation space and would've gotten away with it too if not for Silvester being called outside by Florencia just at the right time to not be in the room when Georgene poisoned it (the instant kill kind)
No, the poison IS meant to instant kill (if taken in enough dosage). People there there turn into magic stones when they die. Remember when Maine led the knights back to Elenfest? The battle at the villa? Seeing all the people die and turn into magic stone + seeing the poison instantly killing so many people first hand was what gave Maine her trauma against magic stone for a while.
Heck, even in the amulet vision Maine could hear Diet wondered why is Ferdi still alive when the poison is supposed to kill him instantly.
Maine's 2 years of soaking was because of how much magic stone fragments was in her body from years of the fever, and even then it didn't clear out all of them (she had a second soaking, this time less than a month long, during the time Ferdi still was at Elenfest) Normally nobody would survive enough to get to her state (even Ferdi said that line exactly when he first examined her)
And no, Ferdi was never meant to return to Rez, he was supposed to have been killed to make magic stone. In fact I think either the invader king or the knight captain made a mention of if only he'd been turn into magic stone as planned.
Because in fear of the outside royal family taking over, the ancient king basically told them "we will let you take back 1 child to continue the blood line, do you want male or female?" they chose male. Any extra children born from the princesses are to be made into magic stones.
And guess who's the chosen male? (hint: Not Ferdi)
Yes I agree the LORD want Ferdi to help, but GEORGENE is the one planning for Ferdi's death, the lord's death is also likely at her scheme.
I still highly doubt he's Ferdi's dad. What kind of father would have his son marry to a woman who looks (and act) exactly like the same person who tormented him all his life (Veronica)? And to give him a job that is basically temporary (until Leticia is of age), to make him work desperately while relying on medicines to keep going?
(and don't be saying he didn't know about Veronica, that woman came FROM Alensbach, and it's basically an open secret the whole country know how much Veronica despised Ferdi and tormented him in various ways)
Does THAT sounds like a caring father to you? At least the old Elenfest lord cared enough to personally praise him for getting the top grade (in private), which he in turn did to Maine.
