[WHY IS my life so fucking hard?]
Neoma, because she was too fucking self-absorbed, barely remembered that her Papa Boss had the same lifespan as her.
[We only have five years to live...]
Watching her Papa Boss and Mama Boss exchange warm glances as if they were the only ones in the room made her feel guilty.
Her father's lifespan was shortened because he had to pass down his Moonglow to TWO heirs. The throne couldn't choose between Neoma and Nero, hence the throne recognized both of them as its rightful heirs.
Although Nero would end up taking the throne first, she was still an heir since she was destined to be the empress regnant after Nero's turn.
Hence, Papa Boss was forced to give his Moonglow to both Neoma and Nero.
[My poor Papa Boss…]
"Neoma, what's wrong?"
Ah.
It seemed like Neoma had been too distracted for her to only realize that her parents' attention was now focused on her. "Yes, Papa Boss?"
