the ML is fucking JAVIER?????

YOU ALL ARE FORGETTING SOMETHING, THE BEAST EMPIRE EXISTED LONG BEFORE, WHEN THE BEAST KING AND QUEEN WAS ATTACKED BY THE EMPIRE AND THEIR MAGES THE QUEEN WAS PREGNANT RIGHT? so she was sold and raised Javi in the slave center,that was way long ago,it was the reason the mage tower was locked with such restrictions so it was long ago before FL was born so even though Javi appears like a young boy because he didn't receive the stimuli to come out of the cocoon of his young self because of his mother's death and malnourished, but now that the beasts are recuperating and regaining strength and he has a purpose in life,which is FL, since she saved him from the slave traders Javi awakened,so Javi is actually older than FL in terms of age

Pretty sure they mentioned that the war on the beastmen was 700 years ago, the queen of the beastmen was captured and somehow delayed the birth for a while. So this dudes been a child for several hundred years and an adult for like, a month.
I don't like the math in this one, seems sus for ML to be Javi when he's only been an adult for a little bit and she took care of him when he was a child (idc he was a 700 year old child).
Is Javi being the ML canon or speculation? Because no way it isnt handsome knight when they've literally been hinting to that the whole damn time??
I haven't read the novel, and I honestly have zero clue if the short stories are canon, buuut...
Chapter 19.6 seems to imply that Al becomes a true/full-blooded vampire in the future! His nephew describes him as having "black hair and black eyes" (p. 5), even though Al currently has light brown hair and grey eyes (ch. 6, p. 42). And since Kiev explains in the same chapter that a vampire's hair and eyes usually become black after they've been turned...
The true question is whether Akira also becomes a vampire, since he already has black hair (and Albert Jr. doesn't mention his eye colour)
there's no novel, the short stories are canon extras i think!
and Al's been slowly turning more vamp-y since the beginning (as a human he had blond hair + green eyes, and got brown hair + gray eyes over like 8 years) so Al having black hair + eyes in 19.6 doesn't tell us if he becomes a full vamp unfortunately
