I'm curious about something 👀
So with ex-lover!F, how did they ended up as the royal librarian? I mean, what's the timeline. Did the Queen know who was taking the position? If she did, wouldn't it be detrimental to MC, about to rule an entire nation, who was obviously really messed up with F's departure, to have to see their first heartache day in and out without even a warning? And then the assassin thing?
No criticism on my part (obviously the more angst the better, sorry MC). I'm genuinely curious how did it go.
Oooo Nick is here with the hard hitting questions!! Haha I love it. So, this is pretty much the same for ex lover or ex bff F, but here ya go!
It was actually the King who offered F the role. In the past, Percival knew that F was important to his child and wanted to support F and Felix on bettering their lives because of that.
When they left, he was pretty devastated and concerned. He had his people search for them for quite a while, trying to piece things together.
F and Felix arrived in Castelon a few weeks before Percival, James, and Constantine did. It wasn’t safe for F and Felix to travel from where they were until the war ended but once it was safe, they left quickly.
F was nervous about seeing MC. The siblings really didn’t know what had been going on since they were gone. They didn’t know MC wasn’t at the castle. Felix went to the castle on his own at first and the Queen saw him and they sat down in her office for a while to catch up…
As soon as Felix left, Vivian sent a letter to Percival because she knew he would want to know that they had returned.
Percival sent two letters back - one to Vivian, one to MC (the one you read in the current demo). The letter for Vivian insisted that she give F the librarian job. She didn’t want to but the current librarian had been wanting to retire for two years and she knew it was important to her husband. Percival had always hoped that MC and F would reconcile (as friends at least).
Was it misguided? Yes, Percival remembered how devastated his child was when F left. But he also remembered the happiness having F brought to them. He genuinely believed that in a couple weeks time, everyone would be at the castle and he could help MC and F work through things while being there for support.
F was hesitant to accept the position but with the generous salary, they knew they could support Felix, too and it would make everything easier as they settled in.
So, the timeline fell before the assassination.
