"Well, ideally yes but that is only granted to some people. Most families or powers will engage their children together as soon as they are in their mothers' wombs! The political shambles of a power based society are truly sad, haiz. The only ones who get to choose are mostly those in positions similar to mine or those who have no positions at all, or in other words, commoners. Although even those in positions like mine are subject to their clans' rules too. Like for the phoenix clan that hold bloodline superiority above everything, they usually have their descendants marry their cousins, and in some rare cases their siblings! The current Phoenix Clan masters are a pair of twins with a bloodline so pure that they were thought to only be worthy of each other, and so they are married and co-lead the phoenix clan. Usually with phoenixes almost immortal lifespans, they choose their leaders through a competition every millennium, but that couple has yet to be dethroned for more than a billion years now."
