Man did i miss something or is the king stupid? So because of a kid being a smartass he just straight up gave the orb to him? Unless he actually want somebody else to take the orb from the beginning, that is such a dumbass move.
Also i hate it when some characters are about to know something we’re waiting for a long time only for it to get interrupted, feels like a cheap shot for annoying cliffhanger in my opinion.
As Curly577 said bellow...
The king does probably not want his son to get the orb.
Eva´s eyes might also be affecting the king at this point, but its not confirmed unlike the kid.
I think the king is going along with this because he doesn't want to give the orb to his own son, probably because it's incredibly dangerous and he loves him a lot. That would explain the negative reaction they have had towards this skill orb when they first saw it despite it being supposedly incredibly valuable and strong power perfect gift for a prince. There's probably more to the prophecy that has him so worried.
He makes an excuse to himself that even the bunny calls out, "the prophecy might still work with this kid who is still has some royal blood" and not just with his own son who obviously fills the prophecy. He even pushes the blame back out to Louis clearly hesitating if he wants to likely sacrifice him.
On a side note one of the priests has a bit ominous smile on him so there could be further foul play like cult activity present. Also Louis filled with the big dick energy to impress his love.
Yeah the priest that was delivering the orb is kinda sus.
For all that crap why they have their have their bodyguards far away if those things can happen (forgetting about the unresolved case of trying to kill the prince months ago)
Tradition for sure.
People have done incredibly stupid things because of common beliefs and religion.
Damn, the king just sacrificed another kid to save his son lmao.
I mean unless failure means REALLY bad shit happens, its worth a try right ?
He asked for it after all and the king probablly does not want his son to do it himself.
( even if Eva is the reason the kid is so ballsy )
