Gankotsuou: Albert De Morcerf's Real Father.....? Spoiler Alert!?

This is more of a poll than a question, I just want to see what other people think. Now the two possible candidates are:

Fernando De Morcerf

The Count of Monte Cristo/ Edmond Dantes

The first thing I noticed about Albert was his blue eyes. (A/N: Personally I thought they were absolutely gorgeous) I wondered where he got his eyes from. Fernando has brown eyes and Mercedes appears to have deep green eyes (still not sure) so I thought 'Okay, recessive genes for the eyes.' Then here comes Edmond Dantes in a flashback who's eyes are also a bright shade of blue. First thing I thought was, "Hey his eyes look a lot like.......wait a minute." XS

So evidence Numberr 1: Edmond and Albert have same blue eyes

Also the time fits, if just barely. Please don't crucify me if I get this wrong but Edmond was put in jail sixteen years prior to the series. Albert is fifteen going on sixteen in the series. Now I know this could mean little, but I doubt that Mercedes would marry Fernando so quickly, never mind have a child. Please remember I am doing this purely out ofcuriosityy so please don't be like 'You idiot of course the count's his father' or something to that effect. Thank you.

So.....what do ya think?

    Well considering that Albert is actually the Count's son in the original book, I expected that to be the same of the anime. I kept thinking, "Ok now is when you tell Albert that his dad is the Count... ok NOW... ok NOW!" and it just didn't happen. I found it interesting though that the Count was basically LIKE a father to him instead.

    The opposing evidence is that they mentioned time and again how long Dantes had been in jail and how old Albert was.

    EDIT: Wolfsong, in response to your message I thought I'd answer you publicly. Half the sites I googled say Albert WAS his son, the other half say he WAS NOT. I could have been confused because Mercedes says "He could have been our son, once," and says but he's not that he has a father and has his father's name. And they keep calling Morcef the Count whereas I refer to Dantes as the Count (Hello, the book's named after him. Thanks for the confusion, right?). So I'm honestly not sure which is which. In my opinion, if it's not out right stated it's still true that Albert is Dantes's true son. But I feel like I need to go reread the book now.

    And to confuse things more? The more recent movie has a differentish ending: Mercedes got married to Edmond, and Albert truly took Edmond as a father.
