The Pendragon royal family, compared to the royalty of other nations, has an extremely small number of members.
Perhaps it’s due to their dragon bloodline, but they face significant difficulty in producing offspring. While other royal families often have hundreds or even thousands of relatives and branches, the Pendragon family numbers only ten. The difference is stark.

“...This guy is downright hilarious.”
