#if angelica is my aroace queen then hartmut is my aroace king

[monster-gender]

Hartmut will always be one of my favorite characters because Rozemyne is so annoyed by him, but she can't fire him because he's hilariously overcompetent at his job despite being a weirdo. Not only that, but he's genuinely terrifying, and the only reason we don't see that side more is because the things he wants to do would go against his lady's wishes.

Also, his relationship with Clarissa being founded purely on their love for Rozemyne is just so wonderful to me. Like sure, Heidemarie and Eckhart are certified Ferdinand Fanclub™ members, but they genuinely loved each other (and Eckhart still loves her). Hartmut and Clarissa's love is solely for their lady
