Still, I guess that if you'd asked him in his old age when he was happily retired that if he could rewrite his life to he never gets closer to Heinrich than respectful courtier to King's younger brother whom he greets at court events now and then, would he do so, he'd have said no.
Without having read more than what you've so kindly shared with us, I agree.
Fritz definitely was ready to commit himself to Fredersdorf, if not monagamously than in terms of emotion and sharing a life together
<333
and b) Frederdorf got the job challenge to end all job challenges out of it. (Boredom ws never one of Fredersdorf's problems!)
Good lord, no! Whatever Fredersdorf's secret diary looks like, it doesn't contain the words, "I wish I were EC's chamberlain because Fritz is so boring and EC is so exciting." :-PP
If Fredersdorf and Lehndorff weren't so trustworthy and discreet about their problematic faves, though, Lehndorff's canonical visit at Fredersdorf's could totally be an occasion for them to share a bottle and empathize about being in love with Hohenzollerns who a) get a kick out of playing emotional power games with each other, and b) have a thing for charismatic bastards!
Ha! Well, we did write Heinrich and Franz Stephan sharing a bottle and trying to hook up the one's brother with the other's son during the Seven Years' War, complete with cameo from ghost!Philippe d'Orleans, so...stranger things have happened!
R/l Fredersdorf, though, no, I don't see him spilling the beans about Fritz either. It's good to have trusty SOs and friends with benefits. <3
That was also a nice write-up of Lehndorff and his wives, thank you.
