Welp, time to bring up the first matter for discussion:

We now have to reexamine all our info regarding Mikulia post-Venomania event to determine the best path moving forward with her info in relation to "Mikulia Calgaround".

So here's the collection of information I could gather on the topic...

First, the Lunacy epilogue:


 * Elluka confirms Mikulia fled from Abito with the Veno child after giving birth to him.


 * A year later, she was spotted in a brothel in Laslaand, whether it was out of necessity for work or her own personal desire.


 * Elluka thought she seemed happy in her own way living a life being loved by the local customers.

Then there's Flower of the Plateau:


 * FotP's child appears three years after she kills her former boss (which was the day before the engagement ceremony).


 * FotP's child wanted his mother's love "even if she was a stupid prostitute who abandoned the one she birthed".


 * FotP is labeled as "141~" in relation to chronology.

And finally there's the Gift novel:


 * Elluka witnesses Mikulia die at a young age in Asmodean while giving birth to her "only child".


 * Mikulia had no descendants with the Calgaround fuedal lord; her only child was killed in the well.


 * Mikulia and Gilbert Calgaround are married in EC 147; Gilbert is killed in EC 151.

Throwing this all together, there's one major issue I spot: The child. If FotP is indeed true, then Mikulia's kid with Veno can't be that child. The child was born in Abito and taken with her when she fled.

It can't be the child that killed Mikulia either, as Elluka seeing Mikulia at the brothel afterward would immediately raise red flags. At the same time, she doesn't indicate that she saw Mikulia die when she met her at the brothel either.

Mikulia is said to have died at a young age. FotP is labeled as 141. If Gilbert and her married in 147, then I think we can consider 141 to be the year Eve-Mikulia arrived in town and became a florist.

Assuming Mikulia and Gilbert weren't engaged for too long before their marriage, then 147 would be the procurer's death and three years later with the kid would be around EC 150, a year prior to Gilbert's death date. So far, no apparent conflicts with that timeline.

With all that in mind, then Mikulia had to have died by EC 141. She would've been 23 at most during that time, which is fairly young. 150-141 = 9 years; the kid looks around 7-12 to me in the song PV so 9 definitely doesn't seem out of place.

137 + 1 = 138, which gives Mikulia 2-3 years in the whorehouse at max before dying of childbirth.

Overall, I feel the above provides the least contradictions for us to deal with.
