"Although I'm not exactly sure what it is I'm forgetting either," the man adds. Noctis acts like he knows him. Of course, he'd hope that even if his brother took over as king that he'd still be remembered for his deeds someday. He figured it was just that; he was a footnote in the stories about Somnus' reign.

But Noctis is acting like he knows him, personally, and he isn't sure how that could be when he's talking about a distant future where Somnus - and by extension, Ardyn, he realizes - is his ancestor.
