King Edmund was reluctant to apply any drastic punishment towards his very own son for obvious reason—and besides, he couldn't really blame nor resent the child for just wanting to help. He knew the little one was too innocent to grasp the dangers of the opal. However, he also understood that at the end of the day, it all comes down to the fact that young Eugene cared a lot; that he was just as scared as everyone else was of losing his little baby brother-cousin too soon in life because baby Varian was the only remaining remnants of his leya Ulla, she worked so hard until her very last breath just to bring this bundle of joy into the world, he remembers how excited she was for him to eventually meet him and he doesn’t want her sacrifice to be in vain.

And Quirin was forever grateful to the little prince for saving his child’s life so he vowed to serve him with utmost loyalty to show his undying gratitude towards the royal family of Umbra. As a father himself, King Edmund empathizes with Quirin and now he can see that his son’s action did came from a place of love and acknowledges it. Admittedly, it was unprecedented but truly was a miracle that the baby was back to health with the help of the moonstone; the young prince took a risk and it surprisingly paid off so King Edmund was willing to take a further look into this phenomenon, no matter how wary it makes him feel.
