I am liking this king, in a way it might be good that the inquisition is in Bome with him if they were in a country much more... lenient, those guys could be even worse.
I can feel the fear of that poor girl, i do think people overexaggerate about the infected but i understand not want to be one, even with the possibility of magic, having a mutation ( and some are pretty grotesque ) isn't something most would want more so them being so random, i mean look at Melie and Ocoho theirs in a way are pretty discrete but they can and did destroy aspects of their life ( Ocoho's, in particular, scares me in a personal level ).
