Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God

as long, and the lightest shade of green laughed lightly, its a shame.
To have such a manifestation and yet still not receive the favor of Mithrandir.

Zaltarish sneered on the inside.
Only he was fully aware that he was already betrothed to Mithrandir.
In fact, he had been for a long while.
The Norville family usually chose partners early since it was very beneficial for their Singularity Type Technique.

The only exceptions were their utmost geniuses, who chose later in life.
Although Mithrandir qualified to be among their utmost geniuses, it was all the more reason why Zaltarish was chosen as her partner.
This was only kept secret because marriages between major families had never occurred.

Often, they would inter-marry among distant branches of their families, meticulously ensuring that those branches never tangled too much.
Separations of five or more generations was usually within acceptable limits.

Now, affairs were a completely different question.
While the main spouse was chosen among branches, in order to maintain separate branches to sustain the main bloodlines, relations between different major families and even sub families werent rare.

The reason the latter option wasnt a possibility for a primary spouse, was because this significantly dropped the percentage of a child manifesting the major familys bloodline.
This sustaining of the main bloodlines is what was responsible for every true member of a major family having a distinctive hair color and eye color, although these were only the surface results.

The more important results had to do with their manifestations and innate constitutions.
Meaning, it was very possible for a commoner to share their hair and eye color but have none of the benefits.

Thus, an initial marriage between branches was necessary to make sure a child carrying the main bloodline was born.
Then, extramarital affairs were practiced, despite their low chance of producing a child of the main bloodline, it was ensured that should such a child be born, theyd be able to start a new branch of the major family so that future primary spouses were always abundant.

In laymans terms.
A union between members of the same major family meant a near 100% certainty that the child would carry their main bloodline.
A union between members of differing major families was practically a toss up as to which bloodline would be manifested.
A union between a member of a major family and a sub family would result in a higher likelihood of the bloodline of the sub family being manifested since, while the percentage chance of a major bloodline manifestation would drop.
And so on and so forth.

This aside, it went without question how game changing a marriage alliance could be.
It went beyond just an extramarital affair.
Which was why the relationship of Mithrandir and Zaltarish was kept secret.
It wasnt yet the right time to reveal such a connection.

A young man who seemed to be sharp and serious with his black hair and eyes, actually burst out into a laugh, Mithrandir Shell definitely be one of my partners, even if it takes a thousand years, I must taste her!

Zaltarish sneered.
So bold Darcassan, why dont you go tell her that?
