Well this was a surprise. The giants are ignorant of affairs in human world and the ones in the castle think a human boy is cute rather than a bug. Juliette liking him, despite salughtering his parents and annihilating his hometown, seems both amusing and hypocritical to me. Like, how does she reconcile her affection towards Cain with what she did to his home?
Second, giants fighting giants? Is there a civil war going on or rival tribes attacking? Why are there multiple giant tribes when there is only one human kingdom? And from what it sounds like, conquering the humans is just and afterthought/pet project of the princesses.
The mystery deepens.
Author's Response:
As for Cain and the giants in the castle. . .kids are cute. A tiny kid is probably even cuter. I doubt I will ever write any more on Juliette's feelings towards that particular town. It wasn't her first and won't be a last. I'd say she just lived in the moment.
As for whether it's a civil war or not, not technically. In my head, different tribes occupy the oldest part of the giant "realm". There is a kingdom there but they moved East and occupied the land they stole from the humans the first time. As they migrated, the kingdoms influence was less and other groups surfaced.
