That could very likely happen. Attolia and Sounis have been fighting over the mountain pass through Eddis for a long time and both have wanted control of the country because of its location. Now the stakes are higher and both have additional reasons for wanting Eddis. Eugenides will want to protect his former country and his cousin, and he knows the volcano will eventually destroy Eddis. All his countrymen will need a new place to live. Sounis (funny--we don't know his name yet) wants to marry Helen and will be very afraid of the alliance between Eddis and Attolia. If Sophos returns, there may be pressure on Sounis if there is an alliance between Sophos and Helen.
I'll bet Gen will be torn between his loyalty to his old country and his new one. Irene has shown she'd do about anything for Attolia, and she and Gen may be at odds over the course of the country, with poor Costis caught in the middle.
What do you all think Costis would do if he were forced to choose between obeying the king or the queen? What if he discovered one of Eugenides's "stupid plans" and thought it might harm Attolia? Would he rat Gen out?
