UNIQUE GLOW OF THE FIRST STAR

"YOUR MAJESTY, I don't understand," Dominic Zavaroni said. Yes, he heard the emperor's warning. But the glow of the First Star was an important matter that he was willing to put his life on the line for answers. "When I first saw Prince Nero, I also saw the glow of the First Star in him. But a pair of twins can't both have that glow."

Emperor Nikolai seemed to have calmed down when he realized that he wasn't backing away from the subject. "It's possible because they have the Roseheart blood," he said, his eyes returning to their natural color. "Nero is the first son born in House Roseheart. The glow that we see him in may have come from his blood as a Roseheart and not because he's my first born."

His Majesty practically admitted that Prince Nero wasn't the firstborn.

But he also noticed the hesitation in his voice, which was quite rare. After all, the emperor would only open his mouth when speaking facts.
