It wasn't till I realised how gigantic Cassian's wings are that I remembered he and Azriel are lesser Fae. They really do walk everywhere with giant wings at their back because they can't make them disappear and reappear. Giant bat wings are the Illyrian version of a tail, green skin, webbed feet or sharp teeth. They don't have super powers, they're just elves with wings (and Siphons of course, but we get the idea).
I figured Human vs Fae would be the biggest point of racism in this world but OMG how the Old Generation of Royals detest the Lesser Fae.๐Ÿ’€ Like ah ahn, your own race again?? Lucien's execution was ordered cause he insisted on marrying one. Rhys' father was furious too.
It was bad enough that he found out his mate was Lesser Fae. Bad enough that he'd decided he'd take the risk with a hybrid child and raise Rhys so strong and cold enough to withstand the hate he'd been born into. Then he sends his son off to training and Rhys comes back having befriended the two most infamous bastards in the entire of Illyria and was calling them "brother". Nah, Rhys' father boiled. ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€ Legit sent Cassian to the front lines of every battle and kept Azriel so busy he'd never leave his side.
(Also hypocritical about the Lesser Fae being less cause they barely pass as human).
Cassian - An orphan titled the prince of Bastards for reasons that are spoilers.
Azriel - Born from a 'mistress', speaks to shadows, mangled and scarred by his family's torture.
Baby Rhys: They are my brothers. ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ˜Š
His Dad, explodes with rage: Lesser born half breeds and you call them your family?! Do you think I worked this hard to raise you to perfection just for you to throw it all away.
Rhys: But they're my brothers. ๐Ÿ˜ญ
His Dad: They're weaknesses that's what they are. ๐Ÿ˜’I will not have you be the death of me Rhysand! Rhys: (Ends up bringing about his father's death because he befriended TAMLIN! ๐Ÿ’€ - Real ironic. Tamlin, the pureblood High Fae, the downfall of Rhys' family.)
