Nicholas and Patricia, whether they'd admit or not, knew the Bug Empress more intimately than they'd ever want to.
It's kind of hard not to, considering how much grief they had to endure coming from her. They knew her just as much as they knew them; that's why battles between them had always been personal.
However, to the surprise of both Nicholas and Patricia, they discovered that this was actually the first time they laid their eyes on her youngest.
They knew that he existed. The Bug Empress had let it slip only once upon a time and never again. They've never seen him before, never heard of him again, never could've imagined what he'd look like. They even guessed that her youngest child was the deadliest of her real children, the true evil that must be put down alongside her. Why else would she ferociously guard his existence otherwise?
But, looking at her so-called 'most evil spawn,' Nicholas and Patricia would freely admit that they were wrong.
