That's what I thought too but the real problem is The queen want her son to be a king she can control.I don't think she will give freedom to Etienne even if he becomes a king.For Rishar, It's clear.He wants Etienne to be the most powerful man.Although both want Etienne to be the king, it's not still the same.And if the queen knows Rishar feelings,she will just use to her advantages.
this story is funny (as in curious, not haha) bc realistically, the queen and rishar have the same goal. he never wanted to inherit, nor did he think he had the right to. this is rlly a battle between the queen and king with the kids as pawns. but rishar should just tell the queen upfront he wants etienne to inherit and they should direct their efforts towards changing the law or, idk, them getting married and it not mattering at all at the end of the day cuz theyll both be ruling together... but i digress.
im a few chapters behind at the moment but i had to step out and speak my piece before carrying on
