At first, I thought Rory should use some magic to anesthetize Ash's tongue! Then I thought he should punch Kieran in the head! Finally, I thought somebody should put some sense into the two brats! Unfortunately, it was monster who did that! Thanks to Cian, they came out bonded by friendship!
First thing Rory and Kieran have to do if they became rulers - they have to repair the foundations of their kingdoms...they have to heal the family. Not just their own but every family in kingdom - to provide love and good support for every child. There's too many kids suffering from neglecting and abandoning...too many toxic families!
Btw, I like little clues in the story. Sometimes I guess right, sometimes not...still, it is interesting to make interpretations. Now...Ash says his father was soldier at the border...hm, could Ash and Rory actually be half-brothers?! 🤔
