I bet she spoke those last words with his dagger lodged between her first and second left-side floating ribs. Because he couldn’t pull it out to slit her throat fast enough.

Wonder if Tiffany does remember what Faden looked like way back when this all started …

Well, if the queen-Faden theory holds water: the queen requested to “cherish their daughter and keep her safe”. And we knew Faden needed Peonie as a royal-blooded sacrifice.

It would be rather impressive if Faden was planning this great act ahead for long enough to decide marrying the king and reproducing (before it would be feasible to change gender again) would be a suitable step in making his rather long-term plans move forward.

But nobody would be as evil as that, surely.

with a… chest that size it would be difficult to look at the face instead of the chest area.

But moving on we can deduce two things one, those aren’t natural, even god would say, “How the fuck did I do that?” and two she was assassinated by a spy from a different kingdom. Or she is Faden, the Plot continues to thicken.

I’m going to say that due to an unfortunate painting accident, the departed queen up there got stuck inside the painting, along with any plot coupons that that may be relevant to this arc.

As for suprise relatives, she’s the parent of one (or both!) of those harmless ( and totally not slightly dead and/or possessed) children that happens to have arrived recently.

@Kellisanth — I agree with you, that is a great formal portrait of a young and beautiful queen.

To be honest, I really like the artwork of that portrait.

Any chance of that of a variant of that be made into a wallpaper for the cellphone/ipad as an incentive maybe?

Maybe an official potrait done of like Tiffany as well, later on, or Peonie and the other leads?

That gem and hair color look suspiciously familiar. My money is on Peonie and Faden being full (Faden as a prince is a very scary thought) or half (same mom, different dads) siblings. …Although there’s always the possibility that Faden is Peonie’s mom (in which case, not sure which form is the usual one and which one is achieved through magic), but I don’t really want to think about that option right now.

@CrypticMirror: Nah, the King is being sincere here, he really is just along Tiff to look after his daughter and thinks Tiff’s a good influence.

@jack Who says he’s giving up? Look what’s happened here, Urtica has said he’s giving up on his plan to keep Tiff close for two years while he woos here. And he’s giving up in a way that now is keeping Tiffany close indefinitely and in a way that Tiff will automatically discount woo-ing because he’s obviously not going to be that blatant and obvious now that she knows…and he knows she knows that. He’s not giving up, just switching strategies.

…I’m kinda surprised the King gave up so easily in trying to win Tiff after all the manipulations and such.

It’s also possible that the queen is a Faden meaning that she’s our Faden’s sister, cousin, progenitor or some other close relative. But I do hope that their the same person because if Faden’s the queen with amnesia just to see what the king does to to woe him back to his side.

Faden: Urtica never told you what happened to your mother.
Peonie: He told me enough. He told me you killed her!
Faden: No, Peonie. I am your mother.
Peonie: What?? That’s not true! That’s impossible!!
Faden: Search your feelings, you know it to be true!
Peonie: No! NOOOOOOOOOO!

I am pretty convinced that the queen _is_ Faden. The facial expression in the painting is not really projecting docility and reason.

@ Rock, I could live with that, admittedly it gets in the way of my Denver/Teresa ship (I think he is good for her, and she is good for him in a weird sort of way), mainly because it removes the two main obstacles from my rabid insane-fangirl-Xtreme shipping of Tiff and Kingie.

@Chimera: I was thinking there would have been some memory loss in there somewhere. Now if this did turn out to be the case, how far would the King go to get his Queen back is the question.
