 I really like the old queen!!! And I think that everyone will like her as well, even the red. And, to my astonishment...the king and queen before Coriane and Tiberias seemed great as well!!!! It's really sad that what happened to all of them, especially Coriane. She's such a lonely girl when she was a child!!! And when she finally found her love? She was too afraid to embrace it, fortunately, she did, eventually. Or we won't have Cal now. 
 He needs someone strong at his side, a person who laughs at the gossips and overcome her own doubts. 
 How to say...? Coriane is extremely without confidence, really? Stand up for yourself!!!! But she is a good person, a good queen, and I think the "red & silver" won't happen on her. The only problem I have with this story is that Coriane and Tiberias sacrifice his children's future marriage for themselves. Well...actually, Coriane objected, but Tiberias accepted to be with her. So? I really don't know whether I should hate the decision or not, after all...like I said, without Coriane, without Cal. But I do like her story, especially with someone behind her, all the time. And, it gives us some positive insight into the palace, especially the old king and queen and Robert. They're quit a character, and I like them!
