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?

That's another good point, that it's hardly been long enough to tell. QoA ended in the spring, KoA happened in the summer and CoK overlaps both Q and K and ends in the following spring. So if Gen and Irene got married immediately following the end of QoA, they've been married exactly 1 year.

Exactly

If we get into 3 yearish territory and it's mentioned, though..
