First time I read this part, a thought came to my head. It sounded:
"I wonder if he will arrange a marriage between Lucian and Queen Avelina?"
Then picture a scene were the queen stands ready for marriage (against here will) saying to Julian:
"I Will not marry you!"
"It's not my you're going to marry, my dear."
Then our three heroes storms in:
"Ok father; Stop this madness at once, I don't want to kill you!"
"A Lucian! Your just in time for your wedding, my son!"
Every bodies stare goes between Lucian and Julian.
"My... WHAT?!?"
And now you know what went through my head...
