I really love your story so far! It got me hooked immediately!

Sorry, I just cannot resist saying that a blue-eyed couple can have green-eyed or even brown-eyed children (and the other way round). The heredity of eye colour is a lot more complicated (there are a lot of articles about this problem). I know this because my siblings and me have green eyes whereas both my parents have true blue eyes (and yes my parents are 100% my biological parents). :)

I was wondering if someone would point that out xD I am aware that there are up to 15 genes that affect eye/skin/hair colour, but given that Arthur is only... 12? at the time, he wouldn't be studying advanced genetics, only the simplified basics of Mendel's theory; of course, one could just give the peas example, but children tend to memorize examples on humans more easily, so I figured they'd try to explain it on eye colour. I haven't seen it in a specific textbook, but my cousin's teacher explained the theory to them like that, so I figured why not, it was the easiest way to get Arthur to discover that Morgana is not his sister :)
