One small regret I have is we never got to see Julian before everything went sideways and he had to step up and be responsible. He avoided spending time with his dad and would go out and hunt for treasure or pretend to be a commoner or both or some other frivolous thing he knew he couldn't get away with once he became king. And Ellie told him about the prophecy and how the king wasn't doing anything about it and did what he could to mitigate the damage, which wasn't much.
