Wow...amazingly done! *adding to mems* =)

Oh, wow! What a painful notion that Ambrose wasn't in on the secret, and what he would have suffered.
Princess Dorothy wasn't just Galinda's little angel of light. She was his as well.
This was beautiful!

If he knew, then the Witch would have pried that knowledge out of his mind like everything else. That's another potential bit of fallout. Intellectually, he will know the Queen made the right call in keeping it from him. Emotionally, it will likely sting that he was kept in the dark.

Beautiful and the last line is filled with irony. I really love the stories that take place when DG was a child and include Cain. Being the CDG shipper that I am I always see it as forshadowing.

[allronix1]

Yeah. I piled on the irony here. Neither gent knows the coffin is empty. They can't know that they'll cross paths under equally "pleasant" circumstances. They also have no way of knowing that the Regent's offhand advice will hit painfully close to home.

meep!
Poor Ambrose...

This is extraordinarily well done. I love the way you've done Ambrose's perspective and his interactions with the royal family, and his reaction to Cain.
