Patrise peered at me! "No, they must be at our age but the dark crane is almost forty-eight and this age is a very young one for the fays who live over two thousand years."
Fays hadn't too much of multiplying so children and after having two children the female couldn't give birth to more children that were why they were less than humans and half-bloods in number.
Besides that, they could live for years if not get killed or ill to cause their death.
According to law, fays could marry humans and other races. But vampires and werewolves or other half-breeds can't be with each other and make a new race, and this a great sin that would be responded with death.
Thus, the king had three wives, five sons, and a daughter, and as Patrise indicated this person should be from the first wife.
"Who is the first prince?" I asked.
"The crown prince, Edward." Roby answered.
"Did you see his face?" Patrise asked me.
