《Finley- The Lost Prince》Diary entry: Genealogy of the royal family (Fairies)
Advertisement
One of the reasons that Belepheobe tried to escape to another world with Finn.
Biologically the royalty can only have one child, This is the sort of check and balance system that was put in place by the world and systems they live in.
As long as the magic system recognizes that there is two ‘active’ royalty then Royal’s bodies are essentially locked up. And their reproductive abilities are stunted.
Since Finley was born as a fairy, The system registered him as an active fairy his mother couldn't just have another child. So she was pressured to kill him.
She was resistant to this idea of course and she couldn't just give him to his dad to take care of him because of what was mentioned in the novel.
There was still the possibility of him awakening his Goblin lineage so the fairies could not risk giving the goblins (who had fought many wars against the Fairies by then) a goblin that could use magic.
She thought to put him in the human world and raise him there. Which would have probably worked if she didn't die in the process.
But back to the Heloise.
Creating a new royal takes a lot of energy and magic as well as time.
Esmeralda mentioned in the last chapter (or the one before I can't be bothered to check) That the gestation period for royalty takes a lot longer than normal. And it only gets longer depending on how powerful the fairy will be.
For example, Heloise spent 70 yrs carrying Belphoebe.
(the second longest gestation period in history)
And all that while you are consciously diverting several tonnes of consciously purified magic towards the child.
The magic that is consciously processed tends to be cleaner and easier to use than that that is done passively. the royal child is essentially just a being of Pure magic. If even a bit of impureness gets to them the pregnancy essentially fails.

So for Heloise who has already been at ‘Rest’ for a few centuries. Even just awakening to crown the new Queen will be a lot of energy that she may not be able to support until more than at least half a century has passed.
If they waited for her to recover to her peak the world would have ended by then and only the Royals would still be alive,
There is also the fact that she may not want too and doesn't need too because there is already an ‘ active royal’
But to Answer the Question that Sparked these chapters.
A surrogate cannot be used simply because,
1) they don't have the magic capacity to nurture a royal child. and;
2) They're too impure. The fetus would die before the second day.

A Merchants Tale
Legends rise. Country’s fall. Empires wage war. But what supports these great powers, allowing them to function as a single organism. Is it the common man, Farmers and Millers forming the backbone of the land? The Soldiers and Guards keeping public order? The Wives and Widows supporting from the side-lines? The Nobles from their seats of power? Or the elusive Sorcerers who wield power untold? And what maggots crawl in this great creature, all trying to get a piece of its slowly decaying flesh. The gangs of the Underworld hidden in the shadows? The Bandits and Deserters hiding at the edges, ready to pounce on any weakness? Witches and Warlocks working their dark art? Or other Nations clawing at their neighbour’s, salivating over the riches they stand to gain from another’s demise. There is one group that belongs to neither group. They thrive on others misfortune and bring with them salvation and destruction in equal measure. They can raise a kingdom up or tear it down screaming and kicking. These are the merchants, the lifeblood of kingdoms, because what is the one thing above all else men crave. Is it Love? Power? Destruction? All these things can be acquired with one simple thing. Wealth. Wealth is the true power behind the world. Wealth can buy army’s, strangle kingdoms, and turn even the most devout man from his faith. Merchants come in many forms, shapes and sized, some gaudy, bleeding the people for all their worth, some tricky, preferring to make contracts and debts to trap men. And some desperate, doing all they can to sell even the most worthless of junk. This is a story of one merchant who goes against all a merchant stands for. He works not for profit but for some unseen goal, a prophesy aeons old. He comes and goes like a ghost, bringing with him hope and victory. All pray for his arrival to spare them from despair. But what about when he doesn’t show? What about the people he doesn’t save? For this man is no angel, no saint sent to save the masses. His goal was never to deliver hope. It merely isn’t time for their destruction yet. For nothing is eternal. And all things must end. But what comes after? Quick disclaimer in response to the review I got, this is my first story and somewhat of an experiment for me, hopefully my writing will get better the more I practice. Thanks for any helpful advice :)

Red Wheat
Skylar Kylee Wintersong was born an Indigo Child. Celebrated by her parents, who ensured that she suffered no restrictions that might hinder her powers, ability or genius, she has grown up knowing that she was a member of the elite, born to rule and guide. However, the cruel whims of beings who are Gods have intervened, and not only dropped Skylar in a savage reality of magic, muscle, steel, and blood, but granted her all the powers she thought she was entitled to. Her knowledge that she's been born to rule and guide, that she was a chosen one, has been made real, with all the terrible burden that entails. How will a 21st Century Earth girl survive on the Six Worlds of Shtar? A place known as "The War Worlds." The entire thing is somewhat tongue in cheek, fun high fantasy with a touch of satire. Rather than adding in likable and relatable characters, the three Earthlings are supposed to be caricatures and somewhat satirical, as I was making fun of the type of fantasy that was being spit out all over the place at the time I wrote this about a decade ago. It is currently unfinished and on hiatus.

New Escape
In a world not that unlike the present exists a fantastic technology to transfer one's consciousness into a game. A new frontier for video games has been opened, and my first experience in this world is an rpg. An escape from monotony and school has led me to experience a brand new world.(I originally lost my motivation for this story and kinda wanted to kill it, but I brought it into this world so I will fix it. I'll probably re-write the first chapters and include a more compelling story. Didn't really write the story for people to read in the first place and after I put it on here I stopped caring, but I am changed!(not too much but just a little))

Lord of cauldrons
A man reincarnated to a world where cultivation ruled supreme. One were even practices like human cauldrons and dual cultivation was commonplace and a part of the culture. What was not commonplace was treating these cauldrons with any ounce of respect or affection. These cauldrons were like pills or potions to be used and consumed or thrown away. They were often just a stepping stone in one's immortal path. One man thought, "What if they were my immortal path." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My chinese knowledge is limited to wuxia/xianxia books and cultivator games and I will only follow it loosely, I have my own cultivation system which will be basis for this story The reason I am writing this is because I have yet to find a dual cultivation story that has something I really wanted to read. Using the 'cauldrons' like Pokémon and the 'cauldrons' being the main source of power. I will update this at a minimum of once per week.
