I don’t know if I missed this in one of the chapters, but did Fet Kailoe give Orinakin a gift in exchange for the ring the received?
I don't think he did. Remember, in the Jacacean tradition, both people propose, and when they do they each give a gift. Obviously Fet Kailoe chose Jacacea over Orinakin, so I don't think he ever proposed.
Okay let us just say that he never wore the ring again after that and he only looked at it when he was in private, then what is up with is son taking the ring when he died. I cannot picture little Jacacean princes rifling through their parents possessions it seems so out of chracters. Do you think that is son just wanted the ring because it was his father’s and Fet Kailoe was a great man or do you think he knew the significant of that ring. If he did do you think that he took it because he resented how important Orinakin would have been to his father or was it supposes to be this “FU” act against Orinakin or Orina Anoris by wearing a ring that held great personal importance and treating it a mere trinket. He had to know what that ring meant to his father. I know for the purpose of the story it is a good thing that Fet Kailoe’s son took the ring but gosh, he such a douche for doing it. I mean it was his fathers last wishes to be buried with the ring. If this was a horror film that would be reason, enough for Fet Kailoe spirit to return for the dear and terrorize Jacacea.
Hmm, all good questions. I think, right now, it's a case of 'we'll find out at the same time Xio Voe finds out.' But I definitely think Fet Kailoe's son took the ring out of hatred (whether or not he knew what it meant to his father, he at least knew his father coveted it enough to want to be buried with it). I think it was his FU act towards his father--not Orina Anoris. If it was, he would have had the ring destroyed rather than passing it down. Remember what Kudorin told Xio Voe (when he made him angry): that Fet Kailoe made his wife miserable, and his son was a tyrant.
Perhaps Fet Kailoe's son hated him for making his mother so miserable. And it's already been shown to us, through Xio Voe's dreams, that Fet Kailoe "took his emotional discomfort out on other people" (Ch.119), so he probably continued doing so after the shot at the conqueror's stone--perhaps not only at his Empress, but at his Heir. Or it could have been neglect. He focused all his efforts on Jacacea, and perhaps didn't care enough about or resented his son, the required existence of whom was part of what made marrying Orinakin impossible in his eyes. ::shrug:: We don't know yet.
