There is a legend amongst the Nobles and Celestial Dragons. How Centuries ago, a fallen star ((an ancient, god-like being)) descended and shared revolutionary knowledge.

advanced inventions, medicine, navigation tech, and even early hints of the Void Century truths. Humanity’s greed and weaponization of these gifts angered the star, forcing it to departed, leaving behind a single bloodline of “Starfallen” descendants who carry fragments of its power and intellect and continue to bless humanity with their gifts that is inspired by the universe itself.

But it wasn’t just a myth.

For as long as they could remember The five elders were tasked by King Imu to look after the precious family line, even making sure to select special individuals from pure families who had decent offsprings to offer as a spouse for the StarFallen family. They were always provided for, always did as they wished but they NEVER were allowed to explore the world or see other people who were not permitted to meet.

To prove his loyalty to the Celestial Dragons after returning to Mary Geoise, Shanks is ordered by the Five Elders to become the personal knight and protector of the last hidden heir of the Starfallen Clan. The Figarland family and previous generations of Elders have guarded this lineage in absolute secrecy. Even most Celestial Dragons believe they’re a myth.

Garling was ecstatic when the elders accept his long lost son with such important task, much to Shamrock despair and anger. Shamrock Figarland had spent his entire life preparing for this role.

He memorized every scrap of allowed lore about the Starfallen Clan. He trained relentlessly in both combat and etiquette, learning the ancient protocols for handling a “divine vessel.” He even underwent experimental bloodline compatibility tests ((quietly pushed by Garling)) to prove he was the ideal guardian, stable, unquestioningly loyal, and willing to do whatever was necessary to keep the bloodline pure and controlled.

So when the Five Elders announced that Shanks, the twin who hasn’t been around long enough, played pirate, and only returned after Roger’s execution, would be named the personal knight of the heir instead, Shamrock’s reaction was ice-cold fury wrapped in perfect noble composure.

He didn’t hate his brother too much for it, but doesn’t mean he wasn’t upset and angry with him.

When Shanks meets the heir he is amazed at first, because his room looked like it was from another time that was too far into the future or maybe even not supposed to be from this world, with stars, planets and galaxies decorating the place, and inventions lettering the room some finished some not. Buggy in the center of it al was dressed in elaborate layered robes of deep blue and silver, embroidered with star patterns that shimmered as if they held real starlight. His bright blue hair was styled dramatically.

It was so captivating….but of course all of it went down the drain when the heir spoke…

“So! You’re the one they picked? The famous prodigal twin with the red hair! They told me you used to sail with filthy pirates, but now you’re here to serve me. How interesting!”

Shanks would force a small, polite bow exactly as protocol demanded. Swallowing his pride to replay.

“Figarland Shanks, at your service, Young Master Saint Beauregard Alkaid Stellarion. I’ve been assigned as your personal knight and protector. My life is yours to command.”

“Ugh! No stop!!”

“Pardon?”

“Don’t call me that I don’t like that name makes me nauseous.”

“…your own name…is making you sick?”

“Yes, my birth name feels disgusting. Like something is not right.”

“Then…what should I address you by?”

“How about….your royal genius majestic royalty.”

“……Yeah….”

Time passes by and Shanks continues swallowing his pride and preforming any order given to him by the spoiled heir. Until it became too much….

“Shanks! I have the most brilliant idea yet. You’re going to help me test it. Go down to the lower levels, find one of those dirty servants, the ones who clean the outer chambers, and bring him here. I want to see if my new invention works on a real commoner.”

“B…but what if it explodes like the others?”

“If it explodes, no big deal! They’re replaceable anyway, right? The Elders always say so.”

Shanks would try to worm around the order trying not to preform it but it only angers the Starfallen Heir further, insulting Shanks incompetence and that makes Shanks snap.

“You want to know why that order is wrong? Because treating people like disposable tools for your experiments is monstrous. Those ‘dirty servants’ are human beings with lives, families, and fears, just like you. They’re not toys for your amusement or test subjects for your inventions. Forcing someone to risk their life just because you’re bored is the kind of cruelty that makes the world outside hate everything this place stands for. If your precious ‘star’ legacy is supposed to bring knowledge and wonder, then using it to hurt innocent people twists everything it was meant for.”

Shanks braced himself. He expected the explosion, the classic Celestial Dragon response: screaming, calling for guards, threats of execution, or a cold demand for his head. He had seen it from other nobles. He had seen it from his own father.

But he didn’t scream again.

The heir stood there, eyes wide, cheeks still flushed from his tantrum. Slowly, the anger drained from his face. He looked… thoughtful. Almost confused.

“…Oh,” Buggy said quietly. He tilted his head. “Is that really how it works? I didn’t know they had families. The Elders always said the lower people exist to serve us. That they’re happy to do it.”

He paused, then stepped closer, genuine curiosity replacing the rage. “Why is it monstrous? Explain more. What do the servants actually feel when they’re ordered around? Do they get scared? Do they have dreams like I do about the outside?”

Shanks blinked, caught completely off guard. The expected fury never came. Instead, be was listening, really listening, with that same optimistic sparkle now mixed with confusion.

In that moment, something shifted in Shanks’ chest. The heir wasn’t cruel. He wasn’t arrogant like the other Celestial Dragons. He was just… empty of real experience.

Raised in total isolation, fed lies dressed as gospel, with no one ever daring to contradict him. His bad manners and impossible orders weren’t born from malice, they came from a childlike ignorance of the world beyond these golden walls. No social cues. No consequences. No one had ever treated him like a person who could learn better.

“They get scared, yes,” Shanks said more gently. “Some dream of freedom. Others just want to survive another day without being noticed. That’s why your order was wrong, Young Master. Knowledge from the star should help people… not break them.”

The heir sat down on a nearby workbench, swinging his legs like an excited student.

“Then teach me more. I want to know what’s right and wrong out there. You’ve seen it. You’re the only one who has.”

For the first time since his return to Mary Geoise, Shanks felt a real smile, small, tired, but genuine, tug at his lips.

During the story Shanks would slowly humanizes the Starfallen heir, even helps him choose a new name since he hated his birth name, which will be “Buggy”.

"Come oooon, just tell me what the surprise is!" Shanks groaned at his brother as Shamrock dragged him through the hallways of the Figarland manor on Christmas morning.

The older twin regarded him with a mildly agitated smile and picked up his pace, tightening his grip on Shanks' collar.

"If I told you what it is, it'll hardly be a surprise," he snapped back at him, "So do hurry."

"I'm trying!" Shanks argued and finally managed to pull himself out of Shamrock's hold, he walked beside him, wearing one of his twin's old uniforms and heeled boots which took some getting used to.

I have never been so
