A CoK Theory (super minor spoilers)

[lylassandra.livejournal.com]

Ok, so I may be totally off base, and I really hope I am... but I have a wonder about the physicians' duel in CoK. Why did Gen ask to see Galen? Why is everyone worried about the king's health?

Now, granted, he just survived an assassination attempt, and everyone should worry about the health of their king since the security of their nation depends on it, but... I wonder if Attolia and Gen are having trouble producing an heir.

Now, obviously that would create huge problems in Attolia and rob us all of the joy of watching little Gens and Irenes, and I am probably reading too much into three sentences or whatever, but... does anyone else wonder this?

oh brilliant theory! (If it turns out to be true, it will be particularly ironic in light of the snarking the Attolians were doing about heirs in CoA).

Exactly. Perhaps the assassination is more likely after all?
