«It's been a difficult period for Alba,» the Queen Grandmother says. «As much as to have a bastard as our saviour King. History will remember him, that's for sure. Be it just because he won't bring us to ruin.»
I'm so surprised that I can't find the words to reply. Behind all the harsh words about Ignis, hers feel like compliments. Is she agreeing with me about Ignis's strong traits?
I bite my tongue before starting to praise him with her. In the end, this is not Flavius. She won't just listen to me.
She doesn't like Ignis but can't refute he's wise. That's all.
«You let your son die,» I say at some point. «There's no way a coup could happen without your knowledge. You let them take the King's life... And your grandson's.»
