It had only been a few minutes since the queen asked about Milo's intentions about Amoura, yet even now in the heat of the moment he struggled to conjure an answer that he deemed viable enough for their satisfaction. However, this wasn't his only issue …
Typically, kings and queens of nations were at least somewhat intelligent, hence why they were more than capable of running a nation. But to add to their peerage, around them were constant bustling of ministers or nobles that possessed far superior skills to them, but in a more specialised area.
The one that Milo was most fearful of was their advisor, someone who possessed enough intelligence to unravel his past and true motives, no matter how unreasonable it may sound.
Yet, unlike when he spoke with Edmund, when he spoke with Marguritte and Eldergan he got the sense that these two were incredibly intelligent, perhaps to the point that they didn't need an advisor.
