Wait a minute the incestuous clan is concerning for many reasons but when I heard incest and immortal and basically breeding within the clan, I thought of when(sorry if I word this wrong) i heard that if a family has incest throughout multiple generations there is a possibility or is mutations that will happen to the off springs or something. And that makes me wonder, since they basically have offsprings with their relatives aka incest shouldnt there be a mutation running through the clans blood? Sorry if this doesnt make sense at all lmao

UuulonnyuuU it makes a crap ton of sense, even if there isn't any major mutation that is easy to stop IQ drops by a fair bit on kids born from incest
but this is fantasy so we'll let it go unless the creator mentions it

To be more accurate, incest is basically inbreeding where the possibility of recessive alleles being paired increases. (Meaning that if there is no incest, you will just have a lower chance of getting paired recessive alleles)
Humans have some types of recessive alleles that can be dangerous, beneficial, or do completely nothing if you have two copies.
If they only have beneficial recessive traits, then incest isn't a big problem.
In a normal population, if they commit incest for thousands of years, they would either go extinct or lose the dangerous alleles as the ones who are born with them die and don't reproduce. (By this point, incest is no longer harmful)
The drawback is that they would lack genetic diversity (AKA, they all are almost the same genetically, a virus could easily wipe them out or they would be less likely to survive in other environments)
Mutations can occur regardless of whether there is incest or not. (Also can be good, bad, or nothing)

I don't know how this would apply to an immortal family line descending from a god in a fantasy world since there isn't any scientists or magician publishing any peer reviewed articles on the manner, so take all of this with a grain of salt.

@Siceraria maybe the 'demi-god gene' itself removes the consequences for avoiding hybrid vigor to the gene poo. As a result, maybe their immune system isn't compromised and/or they have zero risk of birth defects?

Such a complicated background but very interesting. Although I wonder if her mother wished to die .

Thank you!

I'm still having a hard time understanding how can the empress be so chill that her husband f*cked another woman.

When a weird incest fanfic gets serialised >.>
But seriously, its just a parallel (social commentary?) of most European monarchies, but in a fantasy setting
