If he was, he wasn't sharing that information. As far as my Druzil was concerned, we were in this war with Alara fully. But if it was true, then his being protested out of office was quite lucky for Alara. And my Druzil's ascension to the throne was definitely in their benefit (considering he saw Greater Xavax as the enemies). I have no idea what Southern Puff would have done as Queen, though no doubt it would have been interesting.
I must say I wasn't the worst ruler.I just didn't know about the Hemmings family...
