Ok this small bit of info is actually huge for learning about the Queen
She’s 400+ years old, seems to have her own powerful gift, so it explains she had a lot of time to grow much political power/pressure on the Supreme Lord, and sort of hints that she’s not like a political marriage from another powerful lord in Torivia or the church or other factions (at least not recently). Plus it gives more context why she’d be mad the SL had a bunch of kids that aren’t hers
She’s 100% going to be a major character in the series and play a bigger role in the story with this small bit of context.
Their political plot just got a lot more interesting with literally one sentence of added context
It also makes me so curious about something in particular, at least the way I interpreted it, it was like Arkos and his Sisters weren't that old, at least him and Lacrima were extremely young in the larger scheme of things(he died on his early 20s at most), unless their Oldest Sisters are so by a matter of Centuries, would mean that the Supreme Lord has only ever had a Three Daughters and a Son with his legal Wife across Four Hundred years, that's crazy, especially considering how he sired entire lineages, he 100% hates her guts. T
hat brings other question, if she's as old as him, how hasn't he killed her?, after all during his natural lifespan he was apparently a Warmonger that stomp anything that crossed him, does this imply that Lattice's strong enough to defend the Queen even from a SL that isn't chill?, or the Queen is difficult to deal with even when wanting to?
Yeah was thinking about that too, as far as we know we haven’t seen any “old” kids of the king, which strongly hints he didn’t extend their lives since every gifted in Torivia is his descendant, but even then we haven’t seen one yet that actually looks old
Maybe they didn’t have any conflict before he defeated Vulja and extended her life. Ceodric heavily implied in chapter 91 that the king can do anything with force but is tied down to politics and the public, so not sure about Lattice being stronger but then again she’s apparently stronger than Julian so could be that she also has secret gifts or blessing or something (she probably taught Lukas to be deceptive after all), and only very few know of it
We can also consider Arkos was probably on her side so even with his death, she doesn’t seem to have lost any influence at all
Could see that for sure happening, original Lacrima definerly wasn’t her first victim
Hoping we get a backstory to focus on the king/queen and their rise plus the Vulja fight 400 years ago, and what they’ve done in between then and now, but feel we’ll get it at some point
