I DESPERATELY want to know how the conversation between Esben and Podo went down when Esben asked for Nia’s hand. Prince of the Shining Isle or not, there’s gotta be NOTHING more intimidating than an ex-pirate father-in-law who literally had to get beaten to pulp before he could marry his own wife.
Imagine Podo staring Esben down with the most deathly glare, Esben sweating and glancing sideways at Artham, and Artham backing away slowly with a look that says “Ooooh no brother, it may be my divine responsibility to protect you in all other circumstances but you’re on your own with this one.”
