"Caelias!" Someone called out to the young boy with black hair. He turned around and he was met with his half-brother, Ronan.

"What do you want Ronan?" Caelias asked as he took off the black cloak hood that he had on.

"Tsk, running away again? Heh-- at least you know you don't have a place here" Ronan said with a smirk. Caelias sarcastically giggled.

"Are you sure? I'm the one in line for the throne" Caelias said with an innocent smile, Ronan clenched his fist in frustration.

"How can you be so sure huh? I may be 2 years older than you but when I was 15 like you, my hair already turned white" Ronan said with a smug look on his face.

"Hmm...maybe the rumors of the queen having an affair so she can have a baby so she wouldn't be kicked off her title are true?" Ronan continued as he followed his statement with a mocking laugh.

"Don't be so sure that my mother had an affair so she can have me, I still have up until 18 to prove myself being a true Keane" Caelias said as he glared at Ronan.

"Hmm...once my hair turns white I wonder...what will happen to you?" Caelias asked as he smirked, Ronan gritted his teeth as he walked toward Caelias. He grabbed Caelias's collar.

"Are you gonna punch the queen's son?" Caelias asked with a smile, Ronan's other hand which was ready to punch Caelias stopped.

"Don't get too confident Caelias, as far as I know, and see...you still don't have the signature white hair of the royal family, I will be the crown prince Caelias, not you" Ronan remarked. Caelias giggled.

"How are you so sure that you'll be the one sitting on that throne father is currently sitting at? As far as I know, I'm the queen's son, not you" Caelias smiled innocently, Ronan pushed Caelias back as he looked at him with a glare.

"Haha! Your existence isn't even announced yet, I'm the only son of the royal family everyone knows so far. As long as you don't have that signature white hair, your existence is nothing" Ronan said laughing before turning his back on Caelias and leaving.

Caelias unbuttoned the button on his coat. now he has completely taken his coat off. he brushed his black hair back and followed it with a sigh.

"Even if my existence is still unannounced to the public I still have up until 18 to prove myself as a true Keane, and to prove my mother's innocence," Caelias said as he followed it with a sigh.

"Seriously why do I have to get tangled with all of this?" Caelias asked himself groaning complaining about his life.

"We both don't have an easy life huh?" Caelias asked as he thought about Aderi.

Caelias Beau Keane was the son of the queen. Queen Crystal Keane. The king has 3 concubines. One of them being the mother of Ronan.

Queen Crystal wasn't able to get pregnant for 6 years in their marriage, in the 8 years of them being married, they still haven't been able to have a child. Then the king decided to get a concubine.

When one of his concubines got pregnant, the king said that he'll give Crystal another 2 years. If she is unable to get pregnant, the child of the concubine will be the crown prince and he will make that concubine the new queen.

Queen Crystal continued to wish upon the universe to give her a child, she loved the king so much that she doesn't want him to leave her, she wasn't after her position as the queen, she just wants her husband.

2 years later The day before the king and queen Crystal's wedding anniversary and the deadline of what the king said to her she fainted. She fainted due to stress and nervousness.

The moment she woke up she was greeted by everyone smiling at her. When the doctor in the room announced to her that she was pregnant, the king hugged Crystal happily.

At that moment, the concubine who got pregnant 2 years earlier along with her son that she was holding in her arms shouted ruining the moment.

"SHE HAD AN AFFAIR!" She yelled, everyone looked at her, and some even gasped.

"Why are you spouting nonsense Rachelle and also at the moment like this?" The king asked, Rachelle, started shedding tears.

"She's desperate so she cheated on you! Think, your majesty! In the 10 years of your marriage, she only got pregnant now!" The concubine said. Crystal gasped at what the concubine was accusing her.

"I loved his majesty so much! How can I cheat on him!?" Crystal asked in disbelief, the king looked at Queen Crystal with a frown.

"What Rachelle said is true...did you have an affair?" The king asked Crystal. Crystal looked at her husband in disbelief.

"No! How can you believe her accusation?" Crystal asked as she shed a tear, everyone in the room started murmuring.

"Everyone quiet! I made my mind" the king announced, and everyone quieted.

"Everyone in the royal bloodline will eventually have white hair, Crystal as much as I hate it, I'll give your child up until 18 years old. If your child's hair doesn't turn white at the age of 18, you and your child will be locked up for fraud" the king said. Crystal who was holding onto the king's arms let go.

She was now getting accused of cheating on the one she loves the most. She was in disbelief.

"If your child is a son like Ronan, he'll be the crown prince and eventually will be the future king, if it's a girl she will be the crown princess while Ronan will be the crown prince, she will support her brother at all cost as the crown princess, but after Ronan finds a bride she'll give her title as the crown princess to Ronan's bride. That's all, Ronan...let's go" the king said, Ronan who had blonde hair at that time ran to his father after her mother put him down.

Everyone started leaving and now Crystal was all alone.

The day Caelias was born everyone doubted the queen.

The child has the appearance of her mother, black hair, and blue eyes.

Every day everyone would whisper and talk badly about the queen and Caelias. Usually, people who talk badly to a person that is part of the royal family will be sent to jail some even executed. But the king doubted the queen so he did nothing.

"She's that desperate huh?"

"That child is a fraud"

"imagine cheating on his majesty so you can keep the throne?"

Everyone would always say that in front of the queen and her child. But the queen remained a good mother to her child.

When Caelias turned 13 Ronan's hair that was once blonde turned white.

"He's a turn, Keane!"

"The crown prince is here!"

Everyone praised the young boy who was smiling with confidence.

"Look at the queen's son, he still has black hair"

"I can't believe the king gave him up until 18"

"the other prince had his hair transformed now, doesn't that prove that the king already has a successor?"

Caelias stood there as he saw his father complimenting his older half-brother, Ronan who turned just 15. He was tired of being accused of being the result of her mother's affair.

"Mother!" Caelias shouted as he ran towards his mother who walked out the door.

Queen Crystal was walking fastly, when Caelias managed to catch up to her mother she pushed Caelias away making him fall to the ground.

"Mother...why?" Caelias asked as he looked up at his mother with tears in his eyes.

"You! WHY CAN'T YOUR HAIR TURN WHITE!!?" Queen crystal shouted at her son, caelias was taken aback.

"Mother..." Caelias called out.

"You were probably switched during your birth...yes, you aren't my son, my son isn't a fraud," Crystal said, Caelias eyes widen in shock at what was he hearing from his mother.

Starting from that day his mother would often come to Caelias room and she could abuse Caelias, blaming him for the people's rude remarks towards her.

She would always ask.

"WHY IS YOUR HAIR STILL NOT WHITE?!"

"YOU AREN'T MY SON! WHERE IS MY REAL SON!?"

Soon after queen Crystal was diagnosed as mentally unstable and now is locked up in her chambers, she was allowed to still go outside but she choose to just stay locked up inside her chambers.

Even after all those things, his mother said to him, or the actions his mother have done to him, Caelias didn't hate his mother.

He understood her, and that's why he continued wishing on the sky to have his hair turn white so his mother would go back to being mentally stable and prove her mother's innocence.

He believes her mother didn't have an affair, since her mother would always talk about how much she loved the king and how much she cherished the times they spend.

She was someone who wouldn't cheat on the one she loves. One day when Caelias was 7 he saw a beautifully handwritten note.

'i'm happy I'm finally pregnant with his majesty's child, even though I've been accused of having an affair I don't care, all I know is this child I'm carrying is his majesty's child, I thank you universe for hearing my wish'

Caelias found this note when he was 7, he was amazed at his mother's beautiful handwritten letter. He believes his mother is innocent and he will continue to do so. That letter contains her mother's feelings.

A beautiful and delicate person who has beautiful handwriting, she has beautiful dark long hair that reminds you of the evening sky, her blue eyes that represent the moon's bluish hue to its light.

That's what her son describes her when he is asked what his mother looks like or what she is like.
