[THIS CHILD is a de Moonasterio and a Solfrid, but he doesn't have a drop of Roseheart Blood in him.]
Neoma didn't know how she knew that, but she could just tell.
Vitu, a young boy probably aged seven or eight, had two-toned hair. The upper part of his hair was white, of course. But instead of pink like Neoma's strands, the lower part of his hair was purple.
[Just like Ruto's hair.]
Vitu got his ash-gray eyes and pale skin from Neoma, though.
[The child, as expected, looks more of a de Moonasterio than a Solfrid.]
Which means…
"You're beautiful, Vitu," Neoma said, bending her knees to meet the child's eye level. "Am I really your mommy? Did Ruto take responsibility for both of us?"
Vitu giggled at her questions, then his gaze went past him. "Mommy, should I take care of that for you?"
"Ah, no need, baby."
She raised her hand and grabbed the single arrow that Commander Yoan launched at her earlier without even looking at it.
To be honest, it was all instinct.
