Likely a grandparent had those features
Or he’s a illegitimate child?
He really does look like the previous queen. One of my theories, is that both the queens got pregnant and gave birth at the same time. Maybe the current queen’s baby died during labor. Since she’s such a greedy and evil woman, she might’ve had their babies switched. So she could’ve given birth to two princes, and had more power. She probably killed the previous queen, when she found out the truth and wanted to tie up loose ends.
Wow, that actually sounds like it could've happened. I wouldn't even be surprised if it did.
Is remiel not really her brother? Like.. i know it was already said back in chap 1 that her mother and remiel has an uncanny resembelance but how can he not be her borther??? If remiel was a child of the empress... where the heck did he get the genes of black hair?? When the king has brown hair?
