Eugenia Kingsdaughter
So I finally got the courage to read Moira’s Pen and then I went hunting for posts to help me cope emotionally, and now I NEED to talk about “Gitta” because. You guys. Everyone is talking like Gen and Irene were terrible parents and both their kids ran away and everything is sad. And completely sleeping on our girl Eugenia!
First off, the very person who says it’s a sad story is demonstrated to be an unreliable narrator who doesn’t have all the facts. (”Some of the [volumes] are missing”, “[Eddis’ grandson] ordered...”).
Secondly, let’s look at what happened.
Eugenia ran away. There was no politically-arranged marriage to a Braeling prince, no diplomatic exchange, no nothing. She ran away!
And ~somehow~ she just waltzed up and ended up RUNNING THE BRAELS.
The Braels. The country that betrayed her parents, her country, her god.
Can you imagine the LOOK on Yorn Fordad’s face when she arrived?
Eugenia, daughter of the man who stole three countries, who stole a country herself. We know that Eugenia isn’t just a princess. She is the next Thief, the next chosen of Eugenides-the-God. MWT is careful to mention that she died “falling” asleep.
“We don’t know the queen’s reasons,” said Tykus. Neither do we, since we don’t get to see things from her POV, but we know that she refused to marry her daughter or granddaughter back into the Ephestalian royal family... until Gitta, who had a look in her eyes the day she was born that Eugenia recognized. Gitta she happily sends back to the land of her birth, almost as her last act.
Gitta, who Eugenia wanted to name after herself. The only battle Eugenia ever lost, Hennis tells Gitta, is when their father named her Gittavjøre instead. Well-born.
Eugenia, who ran away and stole a country, never lost a damn thing.

Today we celebrate the Holy Nun-Martyr, Eugenia of Rome. Saint Eugenia left her husband-to-be and hid in a male monastery to pursue her life in asceticism. Disguised as the monk "Eugene", some woman fell in love with her and made advances. Being rejected, she accused "Eugene" of raping her and thus was brought to court. The judge happened to be Eugenia's father, who after being revealed that this monk was actually his daughter and that all were Christians, all were sentenced to death by the Eparch of the area. Saint Eugenia, through her martyrdom, converted many people and was herself martyred on Christmas Day, however her feast is transferred to December 24 so that her service may be celebrated. May she intercede for us all + #saint #eugenia #evgenia #martyr #rome #eugene #monk #disguise #monastery #asceticism #ascetic #christmas #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Rome, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmhnSl2B0hA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

you’re the creation, you’re the reason
you’re the rising sun and the colors in my mind
you’re the changing of the seasons
you’re the growing old and the passing of the time
