I have heard quite a few crazy theories on Kalmar’s romance story after tWatWK.
Guys.
Kal did not marry Sara.
Just… no.
Even if Janner wasn’t restored by the Well (by some crazy miracle of the Maker)…
Just no.
But here’s the real reason I posted this! Janner has Sara, and Leeli has Thorn, but Kal seems to be a single Pringle throughout the entire series😢 (I have heard someone say he liked Maraly, but… I have my own personal reasons on why that would never work.)
(Kal probably did like Maraly at one point, but he and Maraly are too similar to each other to have a good romantic relationship. Plus, Maraly’s happily fighting alongside the Florid Sword in Skree! And Kalmar obviously needs to rule Anniera. The end.)
But what about…
Galya???🤔😉
Anyone remember her?
She was mentioned in one of the very last chapters of tWatWK. If you remember, she used to be Nuzzard (the Grey Fang kept by the Hollowsfolk, seen in both MitH and tWatWK). After Janner’s sacrifice, she bows before Kalmar and says, “My king! The Stonekeeper called me Nuzzard.”
(My reaction: 😨😨😨😨😨 wHaAaAaAaT?!)
Anyway, Kal picks her up, AND I QUOTE —
“She was beautiful.”
That one simple sentence has all sorts of meanings. It can mean she was just pretty in general, or Kal thought she was pretty.
And Kalmar goes on, “Your new name shall be Galya. How does that sound?”
Galya responds (quietly, shyly), “I like that very much, your majesty.”
NOW.
This sounds like a hopeless romantic rant, but I’d like to think that Kalmar ISN’T single and ISN’T with Sara OR Maraly. He’s with Galya😄
But what do you guys think?
YES HE IS! Sara wouldn’t marry anyone but JANNER, so she wouldn’t get married if JANNER wasn’t restored.
