- Bluebear never actually met Rumo or Smyke, he just added two well-known figures of Zamonian legend (''Rumo'' does say how Rumo becomes a famous hero, so Bluebear might have heard of him) to his story to garner some interest. It's comparable to an autobiographer in AncientGreece letting a hero of Myth/GreekMythology appear in his story - and in this case even telling how he contributed to saving that hero's life. Note that in Literature/RumoAndHisMiraculousAdventures, there is nothing indicating that the rescue mission supported by Bluebear actually ever happened (even though that might be because Rumo was too young to remember).

**This is a common trope for the Zamonia novels: None of the novels seem to tell actual stories that definitely take place in Zamonia in the exact way they are described; in fact, they all seem to be (although in some cases autobiographical) [[ShowWithinAShow fiction within the world of Zamonia]]:
***Literature/TheAlchemastersApprentice and ''Ensel und Krete'' (not translated) are in-universe fairytales written by Optimus Yarnspinner.
***Literature/TheCityOfDreamingBooks and its sequel, ''The Labyrinth of Dreaming Books'', both are autobiographical novels written by that same writer Optimus Yarnspinner, leading to a very similar situation to Bluebear's autobiography.
***Literature/RumoAndHisMiraculousAdventures might be the only Zamonia novel that actually takes place in Zamonia rather than in an in-universe fictional version of it - but even that is up to debate since this novel is written in a style of traditional [[TheEpic epics of literary history]], comparable to those by {{Creator/Homer}} or the {{Literature/Nibelungenlied}}.

He's already an in-story expert liar and storyteller, and even if he's passing off this story as truth, he may at least be changing a few details here and there for it to make a better story. This would explain any differences in details and characterizations between this story and ''{{Rumo And His Miraculous Adventures}}'', particularly in Rumo and Smyke, whose appearances here seem a little jarring compared to how they're portrayed in ''Rumo.''

- Events happened exactly as Bluebear describes them, but Bluebear misunderstood or lacked the proper information to get the real story. Hence, he gets a few things wrong -- for example, nobody told him that Rumo and Smyke were good friends, so he thought Rumo was just Smyke's bodyguard. When Rumo makes an off-hand remark about his family, he's probably referring to Smyke's villainy is a bigger point of concern here, since Smyke's role in ''Rumo'' was that he changed and became a better person, but it's possible he had a relapse when he moved to Atlantis -- or, possibly he was not as deeply involved in the crimes as everyone says he were, since we don't actually get his villainous deed confirmed by Smyke himself.
