hi!! my favorite aspect of nora is his relationship to family and position because the two overlap so much. his duty to his family is also his duty to the empire since the nurembergs have established themselves as a pillar of it, and it's so much more than a boy of his age can bear. it's so interesting to watch how severing ties with one (refusing to blindly support theobald, the heir to the throne) also almost wholly severed his ties with the other (making him a sort of "black sheep" to the family). i've been meaning to make a thread on house nuremberg one day with a special focus on nora because i haven't really talked about him separately yet.
