As I was writing a profile for Lena this morning, I was thinking about her situation was Rhys. She and Rhys were engaged, apparently by their parents without any input from the two of them, from a young age. But then Rhys finds Maia and decides to marry her. Lena doesn't seem to have a problem with it, but how do you think Rhys' parents would have felt about it? Their son has suddenly decided to cast off ties with the neighboring kingdom for this amnesiac girl from who-knows-where.

And then when Maia gets kidnapped, rather than supporting a search and rescue, the king throws Rhys in the dungeon. Aside from Rhys setting out on his own, there's no attempt to find Maia at all. Could it be that Rhys' parents didn't approve and were actually glad to see Maia gone?

I read on a Japanese site that they didn't approve at all (but eventually warmed up to the idea), which is understandable, as they had already chosen a fiancee for him and he just ignored his parents' wedding arrangements for Maia.

I don't think his father really cared much with his reaction, too. So I do believe you're right.

Thoul, I think you're exactly right. To have their plans for determining his marriage thrown out, and losing out on the annexation of Satera would likely not have made Rhys's parents too happy. They probably did see her kidnap as a blessing.

Here's a completely crazy fanfic idea: Saiki, or the Queen saw Maia using a Tech in the castle, so they contacted the Layans, Lyle, to stage her kidnap to re-institute their plan. They were hoping Rhys would give up if she were kidnapped, and when he vowed to rescue her, they threw him in the dungeon. :shiftyeyes: Conspiracy theory, PSIII style... :dizzy: :footinmouth:

I've seen something like that for Lena (which I never found suiting), but this does seem possible. :o However, I don't think Saiki could've contacted any Layans (as they didn't know the existance of other worlds and there are none in Landen)...unless Lyle was the one who contacted them after learning about Maia and they negotiated a deal.

That could explain something else, too. Lyle stole the Sapphire from the royal family, but there's no one out looking for the thief. Maybe they let him take it as part of a plot to get rid of Maya.

Ha! Good point. I always wondered about the origins of Lyle having the Sapphire.

I can't imagine they approved. I always assumed that's why he had to renounce the Landen throne when he married Maia.

I like all the conspiracy theories - I've always thought there was more to the Lyle/Lena relationship than we're being told.

How would they have contacted the Layans though, Layans hadn't been seen for over 1000 years! XD They were possibly contacted yes. lol, he was already supposed to marry Lena? That would explain why she just randomly shows up in the dungeon to free you. Instead of some random woman you eventually marry. XDD

Here's a question I thought of recently (not quite on topic, but similar): If Ayn went ahead and married Sari, what do you think the reaction of Rhys and Maia (especially the former) would be to that arrangement?

Hm, interesting question! I think they would have been happy for Ayn, assuming he was in love with Sari. Maia might be disappointed that Thea wasn't going to become a closer part of the family, but would probably be supportive of Ayn anyway.

This question makes me wonder if Rhys and Maia attended the wedding. That would have been interesting to see. Rhys, the outcast and prodigal son, returning after abandoning his people? That would have really shaken those wandering NPCs up and given them some new dialogue. :lol:
