The priest suspects the results of this scenario. Originally it was supposed to be Prince Rigel she was spying on, but when the King wanted a scribe his plans must have changed. I also think the priest and Tania’s stepmother knew each other and planned the demise of Tania’s mother. Who knows, the priest could actually be Morava’s father. Also, the priest has been obtaining more of Tania’s power through the bloodstone, so he probably knows tania and the king have mated and he is waiting the 3 months for a pregnancy before he makes his move...and from what Tania said in the last line, Eltanin may have succeeded on his wedding afternoon.
Am I the only reader upset by the inconsistent details/ actions. Elty initially stated that he would deal with the priest before making Tania his bride or announcing her as his mate! Also, what becomes of a baby if the priest owns her?! Does he own the baby. Just too much. It’s one thing to build up to a climactic, dramatic scene. It’s another thing to repeatedly change the plan. They were supposed to translate the book to make them stronger as well. Yet, suddenly traveling to see the mom?!
