[Look here, Levi, the Reisses are living the modest lifestyle of lower nobility; what more do you want!! Did you expect Karl Reiss to downgrade his family all the way to urchin level when he abdicated the imperial throne? Come on now!

At his question, she shakes her head.]

No. We'd destroy so much knowledge that way. We need to figure out a way to identify the cursed books.

[The irony of her advocacy for the preservation of historical records isn't lost on her. But the matter of identifying the possessed works really is the crux of it, isn't it? How are they supposed to do that? They need a winter power holder... she glances at Levi. He doesn't remember his life before he got fairytale'd.. so it's worth a try.]

This place gives people special powers. You should have received them too, even if you can't remember it. I have the ability to restore plants and heal animals and people, and there are some who can see ghosts and exorcise them from this world. There's a one-in-four chance that you received that power! Earlier, when you picked up the book, did you notice anything strange about it? Or are there any around here that looks different from the others to you?

[If he only sees rows and rows of regular books like she does, they'll have to be careful as they traverse the place until they (hopefully) do run into an exorcist.]
