4.Page 187: Eddis is talking about the war with Attolia: "It's not the way I would like to think I would defend my throne, but in prosecuting this war against her I find myself...not commendable. I wouldn't have started a war to avenge you, Gen, or even to rescue you. Still, I wonder, what opportunity for diplomacy did I miss, and did I overlook it because I was angry on your behalf?" (Italics mine) I think this is an ongoing fear of Eddis's. To me, this feels similar to her worry about the number of soldiers she gives Sophos and the whole thing about the guns.
This whole point is interesting. I think it shows what a balanced person Eddis is - that she's a person and a queen at the same time. It's something Gen struggles with in ACoK when he's with Sophos.
And :( to the mountains. (Eddis is my favorite country.)
