"Or maybe they hid it?" he said slyly.
At that moment, Arturo joined their conversation. Mikael smiled at the knight and continued.
"Yes, I believe the Church tried to hide his hair color, erasing it from every book."
"Why was it so important for the Church to hide that detail?" Rhyssa asked, not understanding.
Mikael flashed a triumphant grin.
"Because the Enochian Empire's royal family had a different hair color, a dominant trait, just like other royal families: Alan's descendants have black hair; Zhu Ar Zur's descendants have green hair and green eyes; and Duvan Renasi's descendants always have blue hair and blue eyes."
Mikael stared at Rhyssa.
"You knew all along?" Arturo exclaimed as he tightened his grip around his sword.
Mikael held up his hand. "Not that I care, but I could not help but notice."
"Stop being so tense Arturo. I trust him."
