It seemed that Cardan was more humane than the mortal Jude. To reiterate, it seemed. The Elfhame High King has become more clever than ever I loved that part.  What left an impression on me were Cardan's words, " As the High King, I must lead. But I must also be just." Love how he got it all covered, like two birds in one stone, it was an unnerving plan with lots of caution.
