[Cor nods, gaze softening, shifting his position enough to drape his legs over Ardyn's. A grounding weight in the here and now, where none of that corruption has any bearing on the man beside him.]
It's all so twisted up in the prophecy it's impossible to know.
During that time I was doing reconnaissance in Niflheim. One of the first... batches of clones, when Besithia realized they needed to be daemonified before they were old enough to have self awareness, he ordered them destroyed. And I was a fool and put my entire mission at risk to rescue at least one of those poor children. Which is how Prompto ended up growing up in Insomnia.
I have no idea if it was your idea or not but... when Noctis was 8 there was an attack on a royal caravan. He was gravely injured and might have been killed if Regis hadn't made it there in time. You may have noticed that he limps sometimes and his stances are a little off center. There was significant damage done to his back and he spent some months in Tenebrae with the Oracle trying to repair more than what we were able to do in Lucis.
While in Tenebrae the Empire attacked, slayed the oracle, Lunafreya's mother, Sylva Via Fleuret. Regis managed to escape with Noctis but it was a close thing and his Majesty suffered a serious injury. Tenebrae was taken under the control of the Empire, Lunafreya and her brother became prisoners in their own home.
