About This Quote

When this man said, 'She was murdered by rebels,' he was clearly referring to the death of Princess Damora. It seems at this point in the story Magnus is incapable of thinking about anything but the death of his girlfriend. The fact that he can even think that she might have died violently is just too much for him to handle. He's not even thinking about how he can move on with his life at this point.

Instead, all he can do is dwell on the fact that she died because she was in danger. That may sound like a rather cold reaction to someone who has lost his girlfriend, but it's important to understand that Magnus has almost no ability to deal with stress at this point in the story.
