Now that Ituralde is back, I can finally ask the question I have wanted to ask for months.

Why did Siegfried first pick Jan to be King? Everyone, including Jan, assumed it would be Karl. But Siegfried picked Jan not once, but twice. I used to think it had something to do with the Order but according to the Illuminati thread, it seems they had not contacted Siegfried yet until he had already picked Jan the first time.
