#i didn't mention Elise since she was born right before the war ended if I remember correctly

[feif-incorrect-quotes]

I just realized something. We know about the concubine wars and how they killed the other concubines and their children for status. Whenever I thought about it, I thought about what the Nohrian royals half siblings were like. But thinking about it more, who says none of them had full blooded siblings? That just makes it hurt so much more. Not because half siblings are less than full ones, but because the children wouldn't be able to spend a lot of time with their half siblings with all the murder going on. I know nobody was allowed around Azura because she was the king's step daughter and the people hated their new queen, but I'm not sure if it was confirmed or not that the half siblings were able to spend a lot of time together. I would assume not, and that they only truly got to bond after the wars ended as why would the concubines allow their children to play with the children the were actively trying to kill? So what if the royals had full siblings, the only siblings they were allowed to be around and play with and bond with, and they were killed? What if Leon has memories of a younger brother who he used to read to or an older sister who protected him? I know Camilla's motherly smothering is a result of the trauma from the war, but what if it was deeper than just her watching other children she didn't know well get murdered? What if she saw her own siblings whom she actually knew and loved die? What if Marx wasn't even the first born of Katarina and he has to carry the weight of the knowledge that he will take on the title that should've belonged to someone else?
