I wonder, how did Athrenna specifically feel for Feuriah? In that recent story of what if they’d fight for Queenship, Athrenna said that she saw Feur as neither daughter nor a lover. So what was she to her?

Athrenna saw her as her protege of sorts, though she didn’t officially take her under her wing and raise her herself. She left Feuriah to her own devices and only helped a little here and there when she thought Feur earned it. Gifting her hard to get college books and scrolls (Kruta would give her these, but keeping the fact that Athrenna told him to out of it) whenever she passed a difficult test, approving her access to better living quarters than a Kuros of her rank normally would when she performed extremely well during battles, etc. Though, Feur had to earn her spot on Athrenna’s personal guard the hard way, just like all others. Athrenna wanted to push Feur, and the more she bounced back with a stronger sense of determination, the more Athrenna felt like she possibly had someone worth taking her throne if she died.

Feuriah made it pretty clear that she didn’t intend to challenge her for it though. She was loyal to Athrenna and her goal in life was to take a spot as her personal guard, and be there to take her place when she died (except in the context of that story lmao). The fact that Feur had a bit of a crush on her amused Athrenna though, which was why she often teased her about it. She didn’t see her as a possible Mja (girlfriend), nor a daughter. But a loyal friend that had her back 🙂 Athrenna was just pretty quiet about it~
