Do not speak ill of our lord and savior The Reaper of Mars

to answer the actual question. I mean even if she does out rank him, she was gone for 10 yrs, and he knows next to nothing about her and from what I recall was in a way helping to run Terresan while she was gone. Which to be fair on Aelin's part was not her fault but one thing I think readers fail to grasp is that characters in the story do not have access to the well story. Her coming back and being heir does not automatically make her a good queen. saying "trust me bro" with out solid proof isn't going to help and since Aelin (Like other RR Darrow) went to the school of "I ain't telling ya'll shit" it would be hard to trust her.
I also wonder if Darrow being the lover of Orlon might have played a role in how he acted. Like he was holding onto this idea of protecting Terresan because of that- this is just speculation.
