👀 + What would you do if you were given the throne?
It’s the question they do not dare consider — not for wanting, but the utter lack of it. Valeria dreams of the king’s head on a pike or a platter, but not of the throne holding them high above Tyrholm and its people. Their dreams do not covet the the glare of power or the obligations that come with it. Let them simply kill Septimus, and fight Tyrholm’s battles in negotiations and on the battlefield.
Though — Reynaud is perhaps even worse than their uncle. Perhaps Aurelia is too protected to become a true ruler. Valeria has always known they may take the throne, and they have never shied away from it before. Should the day come that the crown must lie on her temple, Valeria will meet the challenge head-on and answer the call of duty.
“I will do what must be done.”
