so i gotta question… i know that when you kill a high lord, the power automatically goes to the person next in line. but tamlin has no brothers or family. if he was killed…. would the power go to… dare i say… lucien???? COULD LUCIEN BE HIGH LORD OF THE SPRING COURT??????? BECAUSE I 100% SUPPORT THIS AND OH MY GOD FEYRE DREW FLOWERS ON ELAIN’S DRESSER!!!!!! FLOWERS!!!!!!!! ELAIN AND LUCIEN RULING THE FUCKING SPRING COURT!!!!!!!!! SOMEONE HOLD ME

Tarquin is an example of this scenario. The previous Summer Court High Lord had no surviving heirs.

The magic still picked a Summer Court high Fae. I have a feeling the same is true for Spring. Lucien being from a different court, the power would probably not go to him.

the thing about tarquin was that he was the cousin of the previous high lord of the summer court, so their family still remained alive. tamlin has no remaining family that we know of.
