Hear me out: I just realised how STRONG Hilmes is.
Lets start that swords can be heavy,let alone attack with one, LET ALONE be precise about your moves and how fast you are going attack. THIS MAN uses mostly one.... fucking.... arm to hold his sword while we see many characters use both hands........and he found daryun and narsus multiple times.
...
I rest my case
You know, after watching Arslan Senki for like the third time, something bothers me....a lot.
How come that the generals/Marzban's don't know about Hilmes, being the son of their previous king?
Like for real, Hilmes is like 30 or something. Wouldn't the generals know who the heir to the throne was before a usurper of a brother takes it?
Eran Vahriz could have known maybe but Bahman and Irina knew. But like Sam, Kharlan knew after they saw his face, something like that.
But wouldn't Kishward,Kubard, Shapur ect know about a brown haired crown prince from their previous king?
Like these men are between 40-60 years old. How can you not know.
Didn't Hilmes live in the Capital, in the castle as crown prince? Is Hilmes like kicked out the family tree after that night by king Andragoras???
Maybe they thought that Hilmes died, that is possible but why didn't they search for the body then? I am sure you could have find bones if they thought that the prince burned away in his room.
And did you see his face? He resemblance his father and uncle (well half brothers since the mom shagged the father). The nose, the eyes, the forhead, everything.
I know Hilmes, you know, killed citizens from his own kingdom and shit. But why did they question what his motives where?
It just leaves me wondering......
Oh well, please enlighten me if you have answers
