Act 182. The Secret of the Elbiore Family (Part II)
The atmosphere at the scene was a little solemn for a while.
Previously, everyone thought that whether it was bright gold or light gold, at least it was gold, at most it was just a difference caused by individual differences, but now that the bloodline factor theory has been proposed, this subtle difference cannot be ignored.
"I started out with a pure gold color, but soon realized it wasn't right, until I was reminded that there are not just parents in a litter of kittens."
Reiner glanced at Fina as he spoke, causing the student to purse his lips and smile.
"I made a bold guess that bright blonde hair versus light blonde hair were brought about by different blood factors, and with the support of this conjecture, I made such a table."
A table appeared on the white wall, in which the people of the Elbiore family were divided into three types: bright blonde hair, light blonde hair, and red hair, and it can be seen that in addition to the nine who died untimely and could not be confirmed, the remaining seventy-six people were five red-haired, fifty-seven light-blonde haired, and fourteen bright-haired golden.
Among them, the bright blonde hair includes William, as well as his two wives.
George, Lady Martha, Edward and his two sisters all have light blonde hair.
Elemia is red-haired.
"According to the phenomenon, I have made a hypothesis, that is, there are three main blood factors that control the color of the hair, among them, since the light blonde hair occupies the majority, I assume that it is the dominant factor, which is determined to be A, and the bright blonde hair, because it is less numerous, is determined to be A, and as for the red hair, it is determined to be i, which can be considered to be a variation of the bright blonde hair, which has been passed down because of the tradition of intermarriage between the Elbiore family."
Reiner said that his explanation was easy to understand, and because of this, many pure-blood mages had already begun to calculate in their hearts.
"Since a pair of chromosomes will only carry a pair of blood factors, there are many combinations of these three blood factors, and it can be seen that the number of bright blonde hair is more than that of red hair, so I think the AI type of the combination of these two blood factors should also show bright blonde hair."
After some simple calculations, Reiner quickly published the answer.
According to his reasoning, the ratio of light blonde hair with dominant blood factor to relatively recessive bright blonde and red hair is fifty-seven to nineteen, close to three to one.
At the same time, the ratio of bright blonde hair to red hair is fourteen to five, which is also close to three to one!
"According to the ratio of the combination of blood factors, the final trait ratio of these three hair colors should be 12:3:1, and the current distribution of family members in these three hair colors is 57:14:5, which is similar to the theoretical ratio, which verifies my conjecture."
Reiner concluded that at this time, the pure-blood mages with slightly faster heads had calculated the same result, and in their own minds, the laws of heredity had been verified.
"Wait a minute, if you say this, light gold is a dominant blood factor, so ......"
Someone quickly realized what the problem was and looked at William.
William has bright blonde hair, and if Elemia is indeed William's biological daughter, then it can be speculated that William's bloodline factor type is ai, and Lady Martha is ai.
As for William's two wives, it could be AA or AI.
Edward, along with his two younger sisters, both have light blonde hair, suggesting that they both have a blood factor of A, possibly AA, Aa, and Ai.
So the question is, neither William nor his wife has the blood factor of A, so where does the light blonde hair blood factor of Edward and his two sisters come from?
From the perspective of genetic theory, it is possible that Elemia was William's biological daughter, but Edward, along with his two sisters, Isis and Margaret, could never have been the biological children of William and his two wives.
Realizing this, some of them turned their heads and looked at another member of the Elbiore family who was standing on one side, silent.
George. Elbiore, William's younger brother, is a mid-level mage of the Five Rings, who is responsible for handling all the affairs of the family, is shrewd and capable, and is deeply trusted by William.
At the same time, there is light blonde hair.
The entire banquet hall suddenly became silent, and pins could be heard.
After a long time, William looked at his brother and asked in a hoarse voice.
"George?"
And the person concerned, George was silent for a moment before revealing a bitter smile.
"I'm sorry, brother."
His words had proved everything, and for a moment, William glanced at the banquet hall, and he saw his two ladies, one beside Edward, and the other standing not far away, confused.
He saw that his son Edward, although his personality still needs to be polished, has a good level of magic, and at least he can inherit the career of the Elbiore family.
He saw his daughter, Isis, who was biting her lower lip in disbelief.
Margaret is nowhere to be found, the young daughter has recently become close to people from other families, and William is preparing to talk to her.
All of this, everything that originally belonged to William, and now, Reiner tells William, none of this is yours.
It's not all yours!!
In the entire family, the only ones who did not betray William were Lady Martha and Elemia, but she had been persecuting the mother and daughter for the past eighteen years, and in the end, Lady Martha was tortured to death, and Alysmia almost became Edward's slave.
"Why?"
William asked, but his voice had lost its original confidence.
"Because I'm better than you, brother."
George said lightly, but in his voice, there was anger that had been hidden for many years.
"Obviously I'm better than you, whether it's magic or anything else, but just because you're the eldest son, everything can only belong to you!"
As he spoke, his calm expression contrasting sharply with his fierce words.
"Hehe, I'm afraid you don't know, An Jie and Catherine and I have done everything long before you got married, whenever you and those friends are drunk and don't come home, the one who comforts the two sisters is me!"
George said word by word, causing William's two ladies to bow their heads.
"It's only Martha, she's the only one in your family who is loyal to you, but so what, hehe, you killed her with your own hands and made your only daughter fall to such a point."
George was so aggressive that William couldn't help but back off.
"William. Elbiore, you took away what should have belonged to me, and now everything is all your own fault!! ”
The accusation silenced the entire ballroom, and all eyes were focused on William and George.
But the next moment, there was a scream from an unexpected direction.
