It may not have been planned from the start. The first St. Germain has a son, good, then a grandson, great. Or perhaps if no male heir is born the line can transferred to a nephew? Still doesn't really work, given the times of births would have to be close to a nephews, and it kinda ruins the family tradition if its given to a nephew. Imagine the amount of teaching involved, it just doesn't seem logical.

Possibly. But a "new human type" which results in such extreme mental limitation at age 16 wouldn't seem a very viable one. true

Is laughing at the prospect that someone threw out the "what if she's a clone" theory. Indeed - "well, back to the drawing board."

Why would transferring an inheritance to a nephew "ruin....family traditions"? That's how many inheritances work!

That's how many inheritances work! Yeah sure that's how inheritance works, but seriously we are talking about a nephew changing his whole life to become his uncle, that's a pretty drastic change, I just can't see someone changing there whole life to pretend to be someone else, and with every generation tons of information would have been gained and the older things would have been lost or changed, it just doesn't...

I wonder if she's healthy or has any health problems. It doesn't say anything about any.
