"How is this possible?" Sakurai Nanami gasped. The woman wore an expression of sheer incredulity, completely abandoning her usual poise. "The Clan Leader is the older brother of the Uesugi Family Patriarch. Everyone in the Shieki Eight Families knows this, yet they share no blood relation whatsoever!"
"What if they actually are related by blood, but no one knew?" Caesar challenged Sakurai Nanami. "Forget about the rest of you—even the people involved didn't know. No one ever brought it up, so of course nobody would ever connect Minamoto Wakasei and Uesugi Erii as biological siblings. The two of them certainly wouldn't have gone out of their way to get a DNA test for no reason, right?"
Caesar's words left Sakurai Nanami utterly speechless. Indeed, just as Caesar said, they had all fallen into the assumption that Minamoto Wakasei and Erii were not biological siblings. Yet no one had ever offered any evidence proving they were unrelated, and naturally, no one would ever let their minds wander in that direction.
