Thank you so much!
Omg i love it
I don't know if its legit or not! It just made sense to me--they make such a big deal of him being the heir, the mother must have been under a lot of pressure to produce a son, and she had the demon coffins to fall back on. I just thought that might be where John came from.
I said thank you because it make sense plus, no normal twins are like that. And the way their mother was so cautious to the point of separating them made me wonder too.
At first though, I thought they were cursed thus there is incest. But knowing that this was an era of males are far more valuable than females, plus their mother had some magic voodoo or whatever, it made total sense!
I'm glad--I'm hoping it turns out to be true. No incest, just the demon acting as heir to the dukedom and falling in love with the daughter of his contractor/his new contractor. I wanna see how he gets rid of her new prospective marriage partner.
right? he probably thinks that was a dream, too, but it was definitely him. I wonder if he broke the other coffins in himself that night.
not spoilers, cuz I don't actually know, but if you don't want to be spoiled, don't read just in case...? I just enjoy analyzing stuff, and wanted to share.

Okay, so did the Mom only give birth to Anette, and freaked out because she wasn't a male heir...so went to the demon to wish for a son, and got 'John'? And maybe the reason John looks so much like Anette...is because the demon is mimicking her features to endear himself to her? His demon form inspires fear and rejection, and I've got a feeling he desperately hates that coming from Anette. Thus the mimicry. Humans are most at ease around things that look like them.
and in the images of them as children playing, he's gazing at Anette. and the seedy little bro even complains about how John humors her in everything. Its gotta be lonely being a demon. and she wasn't afraid, and loved him freely, certainly more freely than a mother who knew her 'son' was actually a demon. Probably why she locked up her daughter---to protect her from 'John'.
the mother took Anette away, but John wouldn't forget that freedom of affection that he'd experienced probably for the first time ever. & then he probably had to be present for her first night with her husband with that whole audience (gawd, lets kill our ancestors when we meet them in the next life, yeah? that was actually a thing, damn them to hell!)
okay. long rant. it just got me thinking. Anette probably means a lot to John/the demon.
I don't think he remembers that he's a demon, tho. will that come when the missing wing somehow gets attached?
