Phil was proud to hand his rights as leader over to his grandson Cory. He had many grandsons and only one blood-related granddaughter named Kimberly. Which was Cory's older sister. Cory had tons of cousins, their bloodline ran heavy with higher chances of males being born.
All the Elders are related to Cory and were once considered the Highest power because they each ruled the Kingdom at one point in their past. Each Elder was once called a Primary King. Considered the Highest Ranking title, only one King would earn full rights to rule the whole kingdom. Even over their very own Royal relatives who are ranked with a King title or an Elder title. Which meant they didn't call the final decisions. Up until someone blood-related relative to them was born showing to have a higher strength scoring to take the next reign with ruling the Kingdom.
During each Elders' ruling of the Kingdom. They worked hard in keeping a lower birth rate of girls being born within their Kingdom. It was successful in choosing the correct hybrid-women. To marry their Royal sons from each generation. Down passed the endless years, from eventually becoming Immortal.
These carefully chosen hybrid-women from down the line birthed sons. Gave Çory's family to have more high ranking Royal boys born. As they always wait for the next Primary King to be birthed, because it was never really known as to when he might be born. As each continuing generation would be birthed.
This way he would carry on the leadership to their Highest Ranked Kingdom. If one of them showed to have a higher strength, that pass up their Primary King's scoring. That Primary King knew it was time he took the retired Ranking title called Elder. To say he had respectfully stepped down from his reign. Now allowing the new generation King to take the title as their new Primary King.
How would they know if a female would have a higher chance of birthing a certain gender? They did this by blood tests on each girl since the gender of an unborn baby. Came more from the female's side, compared to the male's side. That was how the Elders were very successful with getting their Royal boys.
After so many long millions and trillions of years and even longer of doing this. Even during the mortal time periods and after finally becoming Immortal. Only one blood-related Royal girl was ever born but that didn't matter anymore. Cory's sister became the gem of the family. All her grandfathers and male relatives adored her greatly.
Cory's mother was chosen specially and carefully for his father. She was beautiful, talented with dancing, and very popular. Being a born Royal Princess. Coming from a Highest classed ranked Kingdom. Many Princes had their eyes for her.
However, Cory's father was the one who truly loved her deeply with a bond connection, and because Cory's family is the Highest-Ranked as one of the strongest Kingdoms among their other allied kingdoms. It gave Phil the first pick above other fellow Kingdoms. After all, none of the other Kingdoms would ever dare pass up a rare opportunity to become United with Çory's Kingdom by marriage, because that was how much almost everyone looked up to them.
So Phil arranged for Cory's father named Tony to marry his mother named Amelia. Now Phil has four other sons but his son Tony is the middle son born out of his brothers. None of Phil's five boys at the time outranked him with their strength to take over leadership of the Kingdom. Therefore, Phil kept his Primary King's ranking title.
Tony's brothers each had a handful of sons being very spread out with age. Some over five hundred years apart from another. None in whichever showed to bypass their Grandfather Phil. To allow him to finally take his position down to the honorable Elders ranking title.
So everybody kept awaiting for that new special Prince to be born. Phil's two oldest sons almost became obsessed with wanting to birth the future Primary King. They became the very reason why Phil had so many grandsons because they found many servants and enslaved women. Who willing allowed these two Royal kings to medically fertilize them. Until Phil put a stop to it by making them get married.
Anyways, after Tony's wife, Amelia birthed their daughter. The very first princess was born in Phil's family side. Not so long after that birth was when her reproductive system died causing her breeding days to be done, because a female's breeding days never lasted forever, and carrying an unborn wasn't easy.
Having babies in these worlds was hard and nobody ever knew when you might find out your breeding days would be done.
Now, of course, Tony's two older brothers were happy to hear she couldn't breed anymore. Thinking in their minds they still had this chance that maybe their wife could birth them that special unborn boy or their future grandsons down the line could take on the task.
Nevertheless, poor Amelia grieved throughout many time periods as each one passed by. While her two sons and daughter are long grown from being out of their father's authority by age five hundred. Allowed to live their lives as full-grown adults. After mutating their Kind to Immortality. It took their offspring that long to reach adulthood.
Her kids were even married trying to have their own families. Being well over their mid-thousand-year age marker. With still no success at having their own babies. Yet, it was hard for Amelia to find out that her sisters by marriage and even blood-related sisters were either pregnant or just had a baby.
(Their Kinds didn't say, in-laws. Once married into a family. You were considered United like a blood-related family.)
Until one unexpected day, Amelia found she had conceived an unborn boy. After being successful with carrying him. His parents named him Cory. As Cory grew and began his training in combat skills. Along with his close age range cousins and other future Highest Ranker boys. (That are his men or his cousins' men in present-day timing.)
Cory was growing up making tons of close friends and showed promising leadership among the other boys (his men) he was growing up with. That is when Phil and the Elders knew Cory was the next Primary King to lead.
