Aiwass silently observed the Old Duke.
——No matter which "Annie Alexander" gave birth to him, or which "Annie de Vandomme" is currently alive, which one is the original, which one is the duplicate... one thing is self-evident.

The familial love he once sought from the Old Queen was now his without needing to seek it out.
And the Old Duke too was gazing at Aiwass.
His eyes, which should have been emerald green, were now veiled with a mist, emanating a greyish hue. Even so, he didn't need spectacles to clearly see Aiwass's features.
"...So alike."
The Old Duke stared unblinkingly at Aiwass, murmuring softly.
