"He got Prompto once, and he tricked me. Some sort of illusion where he swapped places with him." He admits. He doesn't know how Prompto got from being pushed off a speeding train to Zegnautus Keep, but he's still angry about it. Even now, that Prompto is relatively safe. Wherever he is.

"Given his real name, guess that really isn't much of a surprise." Noctis' gaze meets Ignis' for that brief moment. There's only one thing, two really, that they have an advantage on over him if that bastard's here. First is whatever it is out there blocked even the power of the Lucii. Second is... "Ardyn Lucis Caelum."

It sickens him to say it, and he can feel the bile in the back of his throat. So he's just going to try and wash it down with more tea.
