Ok, the title may not make sense, but trust me, it gets better.
My second crazy fan theory begins when Sophie is getting a makeover from Bronte and Oralie when she becomes a regent. Sophie says she wants to find out who her parents are, and Bronte tells her not to. Sophie immediately is suspicious and thinks Bronte is her dad. Well, I had another idea. What if Bronte and Oralie became friends after Kenric's death? That was really when Bronte became supportive of Sophie, so what if they became friends? Well, I would like to build on that. What if they became super duper close friends, and Oralie accidentally told Bronte that she was Sophie's mom? Bronte then assured her that her secret would be safe with him and that he wouldn't tell anyone and would do anything to stop Sophie from finding out.
I know it doesn't make much sense, but when I finished Legacy, this was the first thing I thought of strangely enough.
that actually makes sense
