    Summary

    As far as he is concerned, Ignis Scientia only ever believed one lie in his life.

    Ten years later, he learns it never was one.
    -
    Ignis doesn't hear a word Talcott says on the drive back to Lestallum. He doesn't feel the seat beneath him. Doesn't smell the exhaust or the rain nor does he taste the Ebony he absently drinks. For once, the lack of a single sense does not distract him, because he is entirely gone. The truth is curled around his esophagus and it will be made manifest on his tongue soon enough. I know, I know, I know who you are. What you are.

    Because he knows that the hurt that created Ardyn was not recent. Regis could not have hidden a brother, nor could he have hidden an uncle, so easily. Ignis had been too nosy a child. He knew far more about the King than Regis realized. There was not even a bastard child hidden somewhere, except perhaps himself, as he has sometimes wondered. No, Ardyn is something else, something ancient.
