WHOA. For the sake of arguement, let's make some assumptions. Hephestia 'gave' Gen the gift. The god's may have stolen it from one of the Eddisian Kings in the first place, to keep it safe from the invaders. That Eddisian King becomes the hiding place, Hephestia becomes the Thief, Gen becomes... the recipient. The rightful King. (Now there is a fault in my logic - I'm using a very flawed assumption here) Gen, in taking, not just recieving, the gift, becomes the Thief as well as the recipient, the gift is taken by the Magus (Gen doesn't give it up - he keeps control over the gift), Gen steals it back (I'm assuming this does not effect the gift in any way), is saved by it because he is the rightful owner as well as Thief, and gives it to Eddis, who becomes the recipient and rightful Queen. Conclusion: no one stole the gift from Gen or Eddis. Eddis' rule is secure, but Gen... may have a right to rule Eddis, as well. Which would be a lot of proof to the Gen-becomes-ruler-of-the-three-countries theory.

Hephestia 'gave' Gen the gift.
The god's may have stolen it from one of the Eddisian Kings in the first place, to keep it safe from the invaders. That Eddisian King becomes the hiding place, Hephestia becomes the Thief, Gen becomes... the recipient. The rightful King.
