Probably is high fertility + low libido, so the king has a truckload of kids because he is expected to have.

Wait, there are mainly two factors that affect the fertility of a species in the long term.

1. Average life expectency: The longer you live the more time and chances you have to create offspring. So the less fertile you need to be.

2. Average mortality rate before the chance to bear offspring: The more likely it is for members of a species to die before they can create offspring the lower the chances are for a member of that species to create offspring. So the fertility needs to higher the higher that mortality rate is. After all if only 1 out of 10 children makes it to be able to create offspring itself then every dult pair needs to have at least 20 children on average to guarantee the survival of the species.

So with elves having extremely long life spans and high fertility that means that the mortality rate of elves before reaching the age of being able to create offspring must be incredibly high, right?

That is the only explanation as to why there is no overpopulation there. Right?

More likely it's improvements such as magic that have affected mortality rates.
In 1800, a bit over 40% of newborns didn't make it to their 5th birthday. This is averaged (it was closer to 25% in Sweden and over 50% in places like India) and doesn't include other 'ends' to a couple's fertility like one of the two dying early (like, say, in childbirth).

So, say you had a couple, that between the wife's ages of 15 and 40 had 12 kids. First we kill off five in infancy so we're down to 7. Then we add in diseases, accidents, possibly attacks as well...

Now say you live 500 years and the females are fertile from 65 to 300. Even if they have kids 1/3 as often (so a kid every 6 years instead of one every 2 years). you're still looking at a probable base of around 39 kids over more than two centuries. But even WITH things like curative magics, that's a LOT of time before your kids can make you grandparents, for things like accidents, disease, war and other factors to thin them out. That excessive time needed to reach adulthood could mean a rather harsh reality to the Elven peasantry.

35 children and the 36th is on the way. May the wife's body not wither and survive the pregnancy and live a long life.
I wonder if all of then are from the same mother though, if that's the case then she have just earned my respect, doubt it's only one single mother though..bet he has more then one wife and maybe some concubines as well...since he's an empreror after all.
Also tf Criore the 35th child is 70 years just how many thousand years did the empreror live to have 35 child while the possibly 2nd youngest child "judging from the chapter's title" is 70 years old.... damn immortal sex fiend empreror, share with me some of your life span. ;-; I also wonder how old is the first born.

That's unique. Normally long live <> fertile. Is their population limited by food/space/finances? If not they'd just spread to cover the world. Also, what does a country do with 35+ imperial princes/princesses? There can't be that many court offices or domains for them all to manage.

Fertile elves is usually the trope commonly reserved for orcs and goblins in hentai doujinshi.
