You are my brother but I am not your brother. Who am I?
Your sister.

Until the man who made me dies
Power and glory will fall to me finally
Only when he last closes his eyes.
A prince.
I can make men crazy,
I shine when you retire.
I move water without a touch,

1 doesn’t have any surrounding dots, so it too is worth zero.
The three has two dots surrounding the center, so it’s worth two.
A five has four petals around the rose making it worth four.
