"Or perhaps... he has already awakened," Kaiden speculated softly, his eyes locking back onto mine with a piercing intensity.

"I wasn't told this directly by Lirael, but I have spent a great deal of time reflecting on the fae king." Kaiden said, taking a slow step forward. "I speculate that, much like how you had absolutely no idea you were the true Fae Queen until Lirael brought you here and revealed your heritage, he might not have any conscious knowledge of his own identity either. You were chosen and watched by Lirael from the moment you were born because you carried the sacred Fae blood within you, even if it was just the smallest fraction, and she deemed you worthy to be her true successor."
[Host, he actually makes a terrifyingly logical point for someone who refused to think when Lirael was alive. Your mother must have Fae origins she may not be aware of either.]
