Just want to clarify for some people. Medea is the current emperors step mom. Arlendo is the son of the current emperor. So Medea is Arlendos Step Grandma technically.
If Leslie was more jaded, she could easily kill everyone in the Sperado family. Same with the Queen Dowager if she wanted. Do they not realize this? I would not push her to the breaking point lol
Leslie is too nice though.
My theory is that she is actually Deborah before the church gets ahold of her and maybe brainwashes her or she loses her memory after her death. They store her away until the son is older then wake her up and convince her of their own narrative. Use her to control the Hero cause in the book he...
