queensthiefBy KoA, Attolia's ladies are very obviously on Eugenides's side. Quite a shift from QoA, when they were firmly against him (except for the undecided Phresine). Presumably they figured out that their queen loved him and was happy. I started wondering how long it took them to swing from one viewpoint to the other. Seconds after she came floating happily back to her rooms after the last scene in QoA? Sometime between then and the wedding? After the wedding?
Regarding Eugenides' attendants, and everybody else who at the end of KoA has figured out that he has been pulling the (goats') wool over their eyes: I wonder what percentage of them are going to think, "He deceived us! How dare he?" and be even angrier with him than they were before.
In both cases - Oh, I would love to read some scenes from the POV of the people who are seeing Eugenides with new eyes!
And I wonder about the ladies that Lady Heiro mentions to the king, and what they talked about when she visited him. Were those ladies just ones she knew were harmless? Knew they saw the same things about the king that she did? Or were secretly very influential and he needed to get them on his side?
