It wasn't directly stated in the novel, or could be but I'm not remembering, it's been a while since I finished it, but I think Regas were always supposed to be blond and green-eyed. If I remember correctly, Norhox made a snide remark about Truyde having the same taste as "the king" (Karas' father). So the King's real Regas was blond and green-eyed, basically same as Abel's reincarnation. As for the king, he is dead.
thanks for the answer! i see, so thats the reason why the official training ground of regases were full of blonds w green eyes.
i dont think they were only supposed to be blonds w green eyes tho, cause i just read this whole thing , and the introduction only stated that they calm down the dragons. although from your answer, im guessing the novel didnt really go in depth w the past kings and their respective regas. the blond w green eyes could really just be a preference of the former king that dukie also somehow become fascinated w.
The Duke can't be fascinated by anyone else. There's a reason why he specially "likes" green-eyed and blond dudes but that's a spoiler. You know what, people may be disappointed we couldn't have buff Abel but it all makes sense in the story. Abel's beautiful appearance, why he is sickly, why he reincarnated, why he had to die, why he had to be "unattractive" in his first life (but this is more of a theory). I'll just say, enjoy the story!
fuck why did i read this while its still ongoing
also, can anyone give me spoilers on the blonde, green-eyed regases? bc i have a theory!!! what if all the regas that have been killed all these years actually do reincarnate into blonde and green-eyed people? hence the preference among the kings (or just the former king???).
also did the former king die bc if he didnt, and my theory is true, i wanted him to go through the angst that his regas reincarnated but he treated him/her badly.
