He doesn’t inherently know that the story is a fairytale, just that the plot Mildred describes are toe in toe with the Queen Mother and his mother’s experiences. He’s 100% a native, but because he’s part fairy, he explains that he knows the person inhabiting the real Mildred’s body was wished into existence by her in a time of despair- making the real Mildred one of the key reasons she’s there and likely dead by the time she’d arrived in her body.

UGH I am in shambles, we glossed over that way too quickly and I’m so mad I didn’t let this marinate longer.
I’ll be back in another two years
