I was thinking about a friend’s headcanon/theory that Kristoph’s murder of Zak Gramarye was related to Apollo in some way and…

one thing I hit on was that Apollo technically has claim to the Gramarye troupe legacy and secrets.

Possibly a legal claim that supersedes Trucy’s, because he’s the older, male heir.

Given how…. cutthroat the Gramarye history is, I can imagine Zak Gramarye doing anything in his power to cut a child who wasn’t *his* out of the legacy…

That leads me to a further question–

if the reason Thalassa hesitated to tell Trucy and Apollo about their relationship is the chaos it could cause with regards to the Gramarye legacy…
