[quote=@ERode] [@owo] And on the topic of Estelle, do you imagine that she'd have paid all that much mind to Ferrucio in the way she treated her younger House-siblings? Sorta like a 'pity that bastard-child who's only kept as a spare and a shield' kinda deal. My thought was that he'd have kinda brushed off any of her older-sister kindness because 1) he was too busy looking at his feet and 2) she doesn't use a sword. Dunno how things turned out after that, but if she found out that he was the "one" that arranged the assassination attempt, that'd be kinda spicy and messy. [/quote] She'd probably treat him well--not quite pity, more in a "he's still my younger brother and I'm the older sister, ergo I am big sister to him". As a result though, she'd probably not quite be a good support if he has any concerns or worries. It'd be more like him going "I have these legitimate worries" and Estelle being "that's sad, let's not think about them as we play together". If he was involved in the assassination (probably as someone who put things together) as a result of his position, she'd firmly put him in the bear-hug and tell him she forgives him at some point.
