The narrative follows two royal girls raised in an Innsbruck convent whose education, family ties, and arranged engagements shape their futures; a formal Latin examination by high-ranking clerics reveals their lineage and betrothals, and conversations with their guardians expose tensions over political power, dowries, and coronation customs. Interwoven are scenes of courtly protocol, expansive family networks, and reflections on youth constrained by dynastic duty, domestic responsibilities, and the gap between ceremonial status and practical authority.
