@LucemCh@godskiler Being able to inherit two to three courts doesn't mean much if you don't know how to wield those powers properly
Az spys over Prythian, so he probably knows enough to say that he can defeat Lucien with easy or has something hidden to Rhys never correcting him about it
On real life? Yes, but when we talk about shadow/light inside fantasy, it depends on who is stronger or the rules of that specific universe.
About Lucien, probably because Azriel is much stronger than him, has much more combat experience
He IS a warrior, a spymaster and, even without his shadows, he has siphons, more siphons than other illyrians that perhaps Lucien can bypass the shields with spell cleaving, but he has no way to defend himself on the offensive aspect
@LucemCh@godskiler That isn't how umbrakinesis vs photokinesis works. There is no indication that Lucien can cancel Azriel's shadows, use his light abilities with the same skill as a Shadowsinger using his shadows or react faster if Az really wanted to kill him.
