Hi, couldn't find any topic for Edgar so .... I was wondering if maybe there's a reason both Lolotte and Malicia were able to kidnap and manipulate him so easily? He certainly seems to be very susceptible to magical control. To be fair I guess he was a baby when Lolotto stole him, and he could have been tricked into trusting Malicia at first, after all she is his Aunt, and having been detained by Lolotto from a young age for so long he may not have found out about her evil nature until it was too late. Also, although he has a natural ability to perform magic because of who he is, he is highly unlikely to have been trained in magic or taught to focus/channel it by Lolotto, and Titania and Oberon had very little time between kidnappings to do so, so I think when it comes to having to fight magical duels (physical or mental) he has a disadvantage. I also think Edgar is aware of this area of weakness, but he is ashamed of it, so instead of admitting it and seeking help or trying to do something about it himself, he denies it and puts on a false front to everyone else (and so far they have believed him). I think of all the characters Edgar probably worries most about others opinion of him, his self esteem doesn't seem brilliant. According to his wallpaper Edgar is ...."a prince hiding behind a lie", , possibly what he tries to tell Graham in the sound clip then changes his mind. Ummm...what does anyone else think? Any ideas/speculation as to what the lie could be?

I actually forgot what my thoughts were before because this made so much sense  ;D
"Hi Rosella. The bad guys captured me as a kid and I couldn't figure out what was going on until you saved me a few years back. After all your efforts, I couldn't even stay out of trouble for one day and the bad guys got me all over again. My mind is easily warped, so I had no self-control when I turned you into an ugly troll. Then I almost blew up the world with this volcano..."
